In the first tournament in Subotica, Sax, Short, and Speelman qualified. Lubomir Kavalek withdrew after six rounds; his results are not included in the totals for the other players. Robert Hübner was invited, but declined to participate. As a result, Ribli had a free day during the last round. To show his displeasure, he refused to take part in a playoff against Tal, which could have been important, if a reserve spot had opened up in the Candidates Tournament.

Viktor Korchnoi emerged as winner of the last tournament in Zagreb, ahead of Jaan Ehlvest and Yasser Seirawan. In an extra playoff in Havana in November, Nikolić took the place as reserve for the Candidates Tournament with 6 points, ahead of Granda (4) and Nogueiras (2). No reserve was needed, however.

1988–90 Candidates Tournament

In addition to nine players from the Interzonals, the top four of the previous Candidates Tournament (Sokolov, Timman, Vaganian, and Yusupov) qualified directly for this tournament. The Canadian organizers of the preliminary matches (which were held in Saint John, New Brunswick) nominated one player, (Spraggett). Finally, Karpov, the challenger in the previous cycle, was seeded into the quarterfinals.

Karpov won, once again facing Kasparov for the fifth and final time in seven years. Karpov later alleged that a Dutch sponsor had offered to pay him to lose the match against Timman.

1990 Championship match

The first twelve games were played in New York City (8 October – 7 November), the other twelve taking place in Lyon, France (26 November – 30 December).

Kasparov won the match and retained his title.

Flag controversy

Although still a Soviet citizen, Kasparov refused to play the Championship match under the flag of the USSR. Instead, he wanted to use the Russian flag (not the flag of the RSFSR, but the old tri-color) which, incidentally, would be re-adopted after the collapse of the Soviet Union a year later. Kasparov was indeed allowed to play with a small Russian tri-color at the table.

Keith Lorenzo Blake (born 10 May 1950), better known as Prince Alla (sometimes Prince Allah or Ras Allah) is a Jamaican roots reggae singer whose career began in the 1960s, and has continued with a string of releases into the 2000s.

Biography
Born in St. Elizabeth, and raised in Greenwich Town, Kingston, Jamaica, Blake's career began in the vocal group The Leaders with Milton Henry and Roy Palmer, who recorded three tracks for producer Joe Gibbs in the late 1960s. When The Leaders broke up, Blake continued to work with Gibbs, who issued his debut solo release, "Woo Oh Oh". Blake had been interested in the Rastafari movement since he had a vision as a child, and in 1969, Blake's Rastafarian faith saw him get heavily involved in Jamaica's camp community, withdrawing from the music scene and living in Prince Emmanuel Edwards' camp at Bull Bay. He re-entered the music scene in the mid-1970s, releasing a single "Born a Fighter" for producer Teddy Powell, before working with Bertram Brown's Freedom Sounds, with a series of recordings, now under the name Prince Alla, that are now regarded as roots reggae classics, such as "Sun Is Shining", "Bucket Bottom", "Lot's Wife", and "Stone". He also recorded for producer Tapper Zukie, including the album Heaven Is My Roof. Continuing interest in his work saw the release of two albums of material from the 1970s on Blood & Fire records, Only Love Can Conquer and I Can Hear The Children Singing, which brought his work to a new audience. Alla continued to release records occasionally through the 1980s and 1990s, including an album with Jah Shaka. Alla has continued to be in demand with digital roots producers, and has released several albums with the  likes of Jah Warrior. Since 2010 Prince Alla is touring the world with Rockers Agency and stays in popular demand for live performances across the globe.

In chess, an exchange or trade of chess pieces is a series of closely related moves, typically sequential, in which the two players  each other's pieces.  Any type of pieces except the kings may possibly be exchanged, i.e. captured in an exchange, although a king can capture an opponent's piece.  Either the player of the white or the black pieces may make the first capture of the other player's piece in an exchange, followed by the other player capturing a piece of the first player, often referred to as a recapture.  Commonly, the word "exchange" is used when the pieces exchanged are of the same type or of about equal value, which is an even exchange.  According to chess tactics, a bishop and a knight are usually of about equal value.  If the values of the pieces exchanged are not equal, then the player who captures the higher-valued piece can be said to be up the exchange or wins the exchange, while the opponent who captures the lower-valued piece is down the exchange or loses the exchange.  Exchanges occur very frequently in chess, in almost every game and usually multiple times per game.  Exchanges are often related to the tactics or strategy in a chess game, but often simply occur over the course of a game.

The exchange of a rook for bishop or knight is an uneven exchange because a rook is generally more valuable than a bishop or knight.  A minor exchange is a less commonly used term which refers to the exchange of a bishop for a knight.

General discussion
A player's objective in a chess game is to checkmate the opponent's king and/or to avoid checkmate of his own king.  In this ultimate sense, the value of chess pieces remaining in a game does not matter.  Although no official score is kept of the value of pieces on the board for each player, much experience in chess play has determined approximate average strategic and tactical value of various pieces relative to a pawn, which is given a value of 1.  Bishops and knights have about the same value at 3, rooks are valued at about 5, and a queen is valued at about 9.  Since the king is indispensable, it has infinite value.  Pieces, especially as distinguished by their value, are often referred to collectively as  in chess.  These values are not absolute because the usefulness of a piece also depends on its position in a particular game, commonly in a way hard to quantify.  For example, an advanced passed pawn with a good probability of promotion is commonly more valuable in a particular situation than a backward or isolated pawn that is not a passed pawn.

A forced exchange is an exchange in a position where one of the players is required to initiate or undergo an exchange, either because no alternative play is allowed by chess rules or because the consequence of not making the exchange would be unacceptably detrimental to that player's game.  Many exchanges can be offered, but they are not forced.  In such cases, the player presented with the possibility of an exchange may decide to make the initial capture, may decline making the initial capture, or may even move to avoid the exchange.  The player can weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each move to decide.  For a prospective uneven exchange, the values of the pieces are often the deciding factor.

Chess positions are often set up where a player's piece on a specific square is defended by one or more of his other pieces.  This typically means that if an opponent's piece captures the defended piece, the capturing piece would be subject to recapture by a defending piece (defender).  An opponent's piece in a position to capture a given piece could be considered an attacking piece (attacker).  Positions could develop where a player's piece on a square has one or more attackers and one or more defenders.  This is a common way in which exchanges could occur, although there are other ways also.
In such positions, a player with the attacking piece(s) may decide whether it is worthwhile for him to initiate a capture likely to result in recapture, likely decided by the value of the pieces to be taken in the ensuing exchange.  Pinned pieces often cannot be counted on being attackers or defenders.

In chess, a sacrifice is the deliberate giving up of a piece by a player, allowing or forcing an opponent to capture the piece or exchange it for a lower value piece.

In a desperado situation, a trapped piece which would inevitably be lost can sometimes be exchanged for another piece, even if it has lower value, in order to minimize net material loss for the player having the inevitably lost piece.

Exchanges in tactics and strategy
Exchanges of chess     pieces are commonly involved in chess tactics and strategy.

Tactics
Exchanges can appear in connection with practically any kind of attacking or defensive chess tactic or combination of tactics.  Such tactics can involve checkmating the opponent, avoiding checkmate, gaining a material advantage, avoid losing more material than necessary, helping a pawn to promote, preventing an opponent's pawn promotion, or setting up a draw by any of a couple methods.  Some tactics can lead to draw by stalemate, threefold repetition, or  to checkmate. For example, a player with a king and rook against an opponent with a king, rook, and bishop or knight may try to exchange rooks leading to a draw because a king and lone bishop or knight cannot force checkmate.  Often an exchange or a series of them are used to set up a tactic.  Often an attacking player initiates an attack by making the first capture in a series of exchanges leading to a tactical trap; the opponent recaptures to avoid material loss but can fall prey to the trap.

Strategy
Exchanges are often made to try to improve a position from a strategic point of view.  Since positional advantages are often smaller than those due to difference in material value, exchanges to gain a positional advantage are commonly even exchanges in terms of material.

A player may undertake an exchange to capture an opponent's piece having better positional value than the piece that will be lost.  For example, even if overall material count is equal in a certain situation, some players may consider that having two bishops, which can cover both dark and light squares, is advantageous over having just one bishop which can cover only half the squares, and so may exchange or avoid exchange to obtain or maintain such an advantage.  A player may decide to take an opponent's well-posted or well- pieces in exchange for undeveloped, poorly developed, immobile, or otherwise poorly posted pieces of his/her own.  Some may consider a bishop to have slightly more value than a knight, especially in open positions, or consider that a knight is better than a bishop in closed positions, and may make or avoid exchanges accordingly.  Exchanges may be made to clear out pieces to be relieved from cramped situations or incur other positional advantages or avoid positional disadvantages.

Pawn structure is commonly important in positional chess.  Deficiencies in pawn structure can include having doubled pawns or isolated pawns.  A positional advantage can be having a passed pawn.  Exchanges of pawns or other pieces are often made or avoided to prevent such deficiencies or to obtain a pawn structure advantage.  If an opponent moves a pawn into a position diagonally adjacent to a player's pawn, effectively offering an exchange of pawns, sometimes it is possible to avoid a disadvantageous pawn exchange by moving the attacked pawn directly forward instead of taking the offered pawn.  However, one may also consider making exchanges of pawns or other pieces to open up a file for one's rooks and queen or opening up a diagonal for one's bishop and queen, even if a pawn deficiency is incurred.

If a player gains material superiority in a game, a strategy can involve making even exchanges to eliminate other pieces for  to make the superiority more decisive.  The opponent with less material may try to avoid exchanges, but then the player with more material may try to force exchanges anyway.

Strong players commonly play a materially even game with each other, often clearing out their pieces with even exchanges to transition from middlegame to the endgame.

An exchange variation is a type of opening in which there is an early, voluntary exchange of pawns and/or other pieces.

Glutamate decarboxylase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GAD2 gene.

This gene encodes one of several forms of glutamic acid decarboxylase, identified as a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes.  The enzyme encoded is responsible for catalyzing the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid.  A pathogenic role for this enzyme has been identified in the human pancreas since it has been identified as an autoantibody and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes.  This gene may also play a role in the stiff-person syndrome.

Interactions

GAD2 has been shown to interact with GAD1.

Haunted Island is a 1928 American silent action film serial directed by Robert F. Hill. The serial was released in 10 chapters of two reels each, with the first episode ("A Night of Fear") released on March 26, 1928. Each episode featured a lurid title, such as "The Phantom Rider," "The Haunted Room," "The Fires of Fury," or "Buried Alive." The serial was a remake of the 1918 Universal serial The Brass Bullet, which was based on the story "Pleasure Island." As of October 2009, Haunted Island is considered a lost film. A trailer survives in the Library of Congress collection.

Plot
Rosalind Joy (Helen Foster) is an heiress who has inherited a South Seas island known as Pleasure Island. A hidden cache of gold is allegedly buried on the island, which has several haunted structures.  Rosalind's uncle, Spring Gilbert (Al Ferguson), wants the gold for himself and declares he will stop at nothing, not even the death of his niece, to get it.  Rosalind, meanwhile, is befriended by Jerry Fitzjames (Jack Dougherty), a playwright. Unfortunately, Jerry has only recently escaped from a psychiatric hospital. Although he swears to protect Rosalind, she doubts Jerry's sanity. The two lovers race against Uncle Gilbert (who has set several traps for them) to find the treasure. In the end, Rosalind and Jerry are aided by the "Phantom Rider," a spectral horseman.

Casting and marketing
Dougherty had been signed by Universal in 1924 and quickly became of the leading men in the studio's serials. However, this film was Dougherty's last for Universal.

To market the film, Universal Studios printed a unique "one-sheet"—a 27 inch by 41 inch (68.6 cm by 119.4 cm), five-color poster in the form of an old pirate map illustrated with scenes from each chapter of the serial.

Richard Gilliam is a short story author and the editor of such theme anthologies as Confederacy of the Dead (1993), Phobias (1994) and the Grails series (1992–94). He has contributed fantasy short stories to numerous books and magazines, and his non-fiction includes Joltin' Joe DiMaggio (1999).

Gilliam began as a sportswriter and worked as a publicist to Coach Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama. A veteran anthologist, he worked from his home in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

He devised the Movie Links online game in 1990, and it was played extensively on GEnie four years before the quite similar Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game was promoted in 1994. Gilliam's game is much more difficult in that a player is required to find the shortest number of movies linking actors as diverse as, say, Gloria Swanson and Chris Farley rather than links to the same specific actor (a feat which can be memorized).

Awards
His story "Caroline and Caleb" was a Best Novella nominee in the 1993 Bram Stoker Awards, given annually by the Horror Writers Association.

Snow Queen () is a World Cup alpine ski race held in the hills of Zagreb, Croatia. The men's and women's slalom races take place on the Medvednica mountaintop Sljeme, just north of Zagreb, usually in early January. The women's race debuted in 2005 and the men's event was added three years later in 2008. The events are held on the red run ski track (Crveni spust) on Medvednica, starting at an elevation of  and ending at . Besides the city events in Moscow and Munich, it is the only World Cup event held near a large metropolitan area.

Its current prize fund of €120,000 is one of the largest on the World Cup circuit, with a winner's share of €46,000. The race has been known to attract up to 25,000 spectators, making it one of the largest and the most visited races on the World Cup calendar. The trophy is a crystal crown with past winners' names imprinted on it. At the award ceremony, the winner is presented with a cloak and sits on a throne like a queen (king).

History
The race was originally called "Golden Bear" (), but from the 2006 event the name was changed in honor of Janica Kostelić, whose victories in the sport helped popularise skiing in Croatia and also paved the way for the race to be included in the premier competition for alpine skiing. Croatian skiers never finished better than second in the event. In the women's race, Janica Kostelić finished third in 2006, while Ana Jelušić finished second the following year. In the men's race Ivica Kostelić has four podium finishes, three second places and one third place. The all-time leader at Zagreb in women's event is Mikaela Shiffrin, with five wins and seven podium finishes. Marcel Hirscher has won five races in the men's event.

In 2013, Mikaela Shiffrin became the youngest winner at the age of 17 years, 9 months, and 23 days. In 2014, the race was cancelled due to lack of snow. Shiffrin, reigning Olympic champion in slalom, defended her crown in 2015.  The following year, both races were  again cancelled due to lack of snow.

Theodoric I () (ca. 1045 – 2 January 1105) was a Count of Montbéliard, Count of Bar and lord of Mousson (as Theodoric II) and Count of Verdun. He was the son of Louis, Count of Montbéliard, and Sophie, Countess of Bar and Lady of Mousson.

After his father's death, he claimed the estate of the Duchy of Lorraine, which his father had already claimed. The claim was dismissed by Emperor Henry IV, confirming the duchy to Theodoric the Valiant. In retaliation, he ravaged the diocese of Metz, but he was defeated by Adalbéron III, bishop of Metz, and the Duke of Lorraine Theodoric the Valiant. Reconciled with the Church, he founded an abbey in 1074 in Haguenau and rebuilt the church at Montbéliard in 1080. He did not participate at the Council of Clermont in 1095, or the Crusades, but rather sent his son Louis in the Crusades. In 1100, the Bishop of Verdun gave the county to Thierry for life, but the relationship between the spiritual and temporal powers was turbulent.

In 1065 Theodoric married Ermentrude of Burgundy (1055–1105), daughter of William I, Count of Burgundy, and Stephanie. They had the following issue:

Theodoric II (1081–1163), Count of Montbéliard
Louis, who became a crusader, returned in 1102 and was assassinated in 1103
Frederick I († 1160), Count of Ferrette and Altkirch
Reginald I (1090–1150), Count of Bar and lord of Mousson
Stephen (†1162), bishop of Metz
William, who died before 1105
Hugh, cited in 1105, probably religious, because he did not share his father's possessions
Gunthilde (†1131), abbess of Biblisheim
Agnes, married in 1104 (†1136)

KMIN (980 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format that is licensed to Grants, New Mexico, United States. The station is owned by KD Radio, Inc.

Station history
KMIN signed on the air in July 1956 as the first radio station licensed to Grants, New Mexico.  KMIN was the only station with a good strong signal between Gallup and Albuquerque.  John Blake was the original owner of this new radio station.  The programming was diverse.  Easy listening music was heard in the mornings.  Polka music was heard mid-days and classical in the afternoon.  In those days, KMIN was required to sign off at sunset and sign on again at sunrise.

There are two explanations of what the call letters mean.  One is that John Blake's wife was named Minnie.  Min for short. The other explanation is that Grants was a mining town.  For many years the station was called K-Mine Radio.  No one seems to know which is true.

In 1961 John Blake and his partner Dave Button sold KMIN to Tom Foster from Center Texas.  On July 15, 1962 the programming was changed to a Popular Music format.  The first song of the new format was Toni Fisher singing "The Big Hurt".  It was played by the man who would be the KMIN General Manager for 20 years, Bernie Bustos Senior.

In November 1964, KMIN was sold to James B. Barber who owned the station until 1983.  Mr. Barber also owned the town newspaper at the time.  KMIN stayed with the Pop format until 1975 when it was changed to Country Music.  By the late 1970s, the format was a mix of Country and Popular music.

In 1983, another new owner, Don Davis of Albuquerque, purchased KMIN and moved the studios to their current location on 733 East Roosevelt Avenue.  Don moved KMIN to 1400 on the dial for a brief period so it could stay on at night.  When the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) changed the night time signal rules, KMIN moved back to 980 with a 250 watt signal at night.  Davis put KMIN-FM on the air and moved the Country format to the FM dial.  KMIN became a Rock & Roll Oldies station.  KMIN-FM has had several call letter changes and in 2000 was sold to an out of state broadcasting company.

KD Radio Incorporated purchased KMIN and KDSK-FM in January 2001.  Having had much success with kdradio.com in California, it was decided to put the massive KD Radio oldies format of 7000 songs on a broadcast station.  The response has been very good.

KMIN is a community station and broadcasts local events like the annual Mt. Taylor Quadratholon, high school sports and La Fiesta De Colores.

On June 14, 2004 KMIN's Sound Souvenir's format moved over to the FM side of the dial, on KMIN's sister station KDSK located at 92.7 on the FM dial.  Due to the Sound Souvenir's strong showing in the ratings, number one in its market, management made the decision to move the format to the stronger FM signal.  KMIN 980 was changed to a Country format using the music that was sent to the station over the last 50 years, as well as today's current hits.

In 2010 KMIN was granted an FCC construction permit to move to a different transmitter site, increase day power to 5,000 watts and decrease night power to 230 watts.

In 2018, KMIN applied for and was granted FM translator K282BW to simulcast the AM station on 104.3.

Jersey Athletic Club, or Jersey A.C., was a U.S. soccer team which competed in the National Association Football League, winning two championships.

History
In 1907, Jersey A.C., which had long fielded a successful cricket team entered a soccer team in the National Association Football League (NAFBL).  They finished mid-table and withdrew at the end of the season.  In 1908, Jersey A.C. returned to the NAFBL.  In 1911, they won their second title.  The team finished mid-table most seasons.  With the entry of the United States into World War I, Jersey A.C. lost so many players to military service that it left the NAFBL in 1918 and ceased operations a year later.

Integrative agnosia is a sub-disease of agnosia, meaning the lack of integrating perceptual wholes within
knowledge. Integrative agnosia can be assessed by several experimental tests such as the Efron shape test, which
determines the specificity of the disease being Integrative.
This disease is often caused by brain trauma, producing medial ventral lesions to the extrastriate cortex.  Affecting this region of the brain produces learning impairments: the inability to
integrate parts such as spatial distances or producing visual images from short or long-term memory.

Symptoms and signs
Symptoms generally include memory or learning impairments, with the inability to integrate parts coherently. There is a big range to the severity of this disease and often the symptoms that are shown in each patient vary as well. As ambiguous as the general symptoms may be, patients are often treated of their respective symptoms as they appear and how critical the conditions are.

Causes
Some of the causes of integrative agnosia include stroke, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, an anoxic episode following myocardial infarction, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

Diagnosis
Cases with integrative agnosia appear to have medial ventral lesions in the extrastriate cortex. Those who have integrative agnosia are better able to identify inanimate than animate items, which indicates processes that lead to accurate perceptual organization of visual information can be impaired. This is attributed to the importance of perceptual updating of stored visual knowledge, which is particularly important for classes of stimuli that have many perceptual neighbors and/or stimuli for which perceptual features are central to their stored representations. Patients also show a tendency to process visual stimuli initially at a global rather than local level. Although the grouping of local elements into perceptual wholes can be impaired, patients can remain sensitive to holistic visual representations.

When determining whether a patient has form agnosia or integrative agnosia, an Efron shape test can be performed. A poor score on the Efron shape test will indicate form agnosia, as opposed to integrative agnosia. A good score on the Efron shape test, but a poor score on a figure-ground segmentation test and an overlapping figures test will indicate integrative agnosia. A patient with integrative agnosia will find it hard to group and segment shapes, especially if there are overlapping animate items or they can over segment objects with high internal detail. However, the patient should have and understand basic coding of shape.

Treatment
One treatment thought to be effective is the repeated exposure to a particular face or object, where impaired perception may be reorganized in memory, leading to improvement on tests of imagery relative to tests of perception. The key factor for this type of treatment to be successful is a regular and consistent exposure, which will lead to improvements in the long run. Results may not be seen right away, but are eventually possible.

Research

Case study 1
A case study on a patient named H.J.A. is discussed and analyzed by M. Jane Riddoch and Glyn W Humphreys. Because this case study is done specifically on the symptoms of one person diagnosed with integrative agnosia, generalizations cannot be made directly from the results and conclusions about the disease as a whole about those who are also diagnosed with this disease.
Like many people who are diagnosed with integrative agnosia, H.J.A. was diagnosed with this disease after suffering a stroke during a surgical procedure in an operating room. The patient underwent several experiments to verify the specific type of agnosia. H.J.A. showed top half visual deficits of the entire visual field in both right and left eyes. Lower visual fields showed normal patterns to the stimulus.
Through the first experiment, the patient showed that tactile presentation of an object helped H.J.A. significantly in identifying an object. When the object was presented only visually, the patient struggled and showed difficulty. Objects used were common everyday objects. The patient always used descriptive terminology to identify an object instead of a single word or term. However, H.J.A. showed an ability to copy objects and match two objects, both pictures and physical objects.
The second experiment showed that H.J.A. was able to identify figures better when presented the silhouette. Other patients with integrative agnosia also tend to show this symptom. The patient lacks local information of the figures to support the global information, which explains the lack of confidence in naming the object. H.J.A. also shows trouble discriminating figures that are significant and others that are meaningless stimuli. This, in turn, can explain why the patient cannot distinguish overlapping figures.
The third experiment showed that the patient was able to give important information about an object, even though, previously, could not identify the object visually. The memory of the patient is intact despite visual deficits. In the fourth and final section of experiments, the patient shows a lack of visual color knowledge, but structures of a given specific object is not impaired, as H.J.A. uses the technique of drawing from memories. This shows that the patient's visual perceptions and memories containing prior knowledge are not altered by integrative agnosia following the stroke.

Case study 2
In a second case study also performed by the M. Jane Riddoch and Glyn W. Humphreys, H.J.A was the subject in this case study to determine the effects integrative agnosia has on visual and spatial short-term memory.

In the first group of experiments, Riddoch and Humphreys tested the patient's visual, spatial, and perceptual capabilities.
They first asked him draw his bedroom using his visual capabilities, comparing it to his drawing from memory, rather than visual, at a specific date. They repeated this test again one year later. His results showed that patients with integrative agnosia have problems in accurately recalling spatial information from long-term memory. In addition, H.J.A was asked to assess spatial locations of cities he was familiar with before his stroke. The evidence of his inability to assess the spatial distances supported the correct diagnosis of integrative agnosia.

When H.J.A was asked to compare images of human faces, he was able to point out specific facial features. However, when asked to make side-by-side comparisons of several celebrities' faces, he was unable to make the same comparisons a person without Integrative Agnosia are able to by integrating features into a perceptual representation. On the other hand, the patient did well when asked to determine the angle degrees of the hands of a clock. But because the patient had to simply make a global judgment based on the hands of the clock, there were not any judgments made based on the perception of local parts, such as the comparison of features of a face for example.

In the second group of experiments, the patient, H.J.A, was tested on his ability to manipulate images, assess information using his spatial memory, and complete pattern tasks.
The patient performed a series of tasks such as the Moscovitch Letter Manipulation Task, the Brooks Matrix Task, and a Compass Directions Task. The patient proved able to receive the spatial material well with short-term memory when manipulating materials without a reference frame. The patient was still able to make global processes, identify shapes, single lines, and letters, but lacked the ability to process configurations in perceptual representations, in the respective tasks. When visually holding an image for 10 seconds, the patient was able to process a spatial pattern and transfer that image onto paper accurately. The tasks that H.J.A were given showed where the parts specifically failed to integrate: the patent's perception on spatial elements without a point of reference. With a reference point, H.J.A is able to integrate the parts.

In the last set of experiments, H.J.A is being tested on his ability to reproduce a visual stimuli and reproduce possible and impossible figures. Evidence suggested that the patient had an ability again maintain the global information in order to draw items, and reiterated his difficulty in maintaining local elements and spatial relations. The last experiment (Experiment 11) was the most difficult for H.J.A visually. He was significantly impaired in drawing the impossible figures provided and spent a significant amount of time more than the control, the elderly population, used in this experiment, processing the information to be able to transform them onto paper. The patient demonstrated a lack of representation of all local parts when reproducing the image.

It was concluded that the tasks performed well by H.J.A included the tasks involving ranges of imagery-based tasks, accurately make judgments about global representations such as the angles of a clock, maintained visual patterns over inter-stimulus intervals, mentally rotating letters, manipulating two elements of an image. In contrast, impairment was gauged to be the lack of the ability in recalling spatial layouts, judging spatial directions, judging relative positions of objects, The Brooks Matrix Test, Compass Direction Task, reproducing abstract patterns, and reproducing both possible and impossible figures. Due to the impairment, it was identified that the patient did not have intact imagery and visual short-term memory, made apparent by the spatial relations test. Due to Integrative Agnosia, the patients take information from a top-down manner, using stored knowledge to retrieve an objects perceptual properties. It is much more difficult for patients to use a bottom-up method, or perceiving through a visual stimulus, because of the inability to accurately code the patterns in the visual short-term memory.

Tarzan the Mighty is a 1928 American action film serial directed by Jack Nelson and Ray Taylor.  It was nominally based on the collection Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  The film is now considered to be lost.

Cast

 Frank Merrill as Tarzan.  Joe Bonomo was cast as Tarzan but, while filming Perils of the Wild, fractured his left leg and severely injured his sacroiliac joint while performing a stunt.  Director Jack Nelson remembered Frank Merill from working with him on an earlier production, either Perils of the Jungle (1927) or The Adventures of Tarzan.  Whichever production it was, he felt that Merrill was a natural replacement and the new lead actor started filming the next morning.
 Al Ferguson as Black John, village ruler of Pirates' descendants
 Natalie Kingston as Mary Trevor.  There was no Jane in this production.  Kingston was cast as the castaway and love interest Mary Trevor.
 Bobby Nelson as Bobby Trevor, Mary's younger brother
 Lorimer Johnston as Lord Greystoke, Tarzan's uncle

Production
After the failure of Tarzan and the Golden Lion, starring "Big Jim" Pierce, FBO did not make a sequel.  Universal paid Burroughs an undisclosed sum to make a new Tarzan serial based on Jungle Tales of Tarzan.  This serial was later re-titled Tarzan the Mighty.

Merrill, who was the National Gymnastics champion from 1916 to 1918, came up with the vine-swinging technique. Merrill actually swung on a "vine" (a rope) with Kingston in one arm.  The footage was later studied by MGM for Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) and the subsequent series of Tarzan films with Johnny Weissmuller.

Production began on April 12 and finished on October 28, 1928  The serial was originally intended to be 12 chapters long but it was so successful that it was extended to 15 chapters in length.  Tarzan the Mighty was successful enough for a sequel, Tarzan the Tiger, to be put into production with many of the cast returning (in slightly different roles in some cases).

Wouter J. den Haan (or Denhaan) (born 22 July 1962) is a professor of economics at the London School of Economics, research fellow and programme director of the CEPR, and co-director of the Centre for Macroeconomics. Currently, his main areas of interest are business cycles, frictions in financial and labor markets, and numerical methods to solve models with a large number of heterogeneous agents.

Biography
He graduated cum laude from the MA program at Erasmus University, and received his PhD degree at Carnegie Mellon University in 1991. This dissertation won him the Alexander Henderson Award for excellence in economics, an award also won by Nobel Laureates Oliver Williamson, Dale Mortensen, Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott. After earning his PhD he became an assistant professor at the University of California at San Diego, where he was a professor from 2001 to 2004. At the beginning of 2003 he moved back to Europe and became a professor of economics at London Business School. In 2006 he received a VICI award and became a professor of economics at the University of Amsterdam. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Rochester and the Wharton School and also a visiting scholar at the European Central Bank, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington DC, and several regional Federal Reserve Banks. He is a fellow of the European Economic Association.

Research interests
Uncertainty and forward-looking agents play a crucial role in modern macroeconomics and Wouter den Haan helped in making it feasible to analyze models with these features by developing computer algorithms to solve these models. Together with Albert Marcet he developed the Parameterized Expectations Algorithm (PEA) and the “Denhaan-Marcet statistic” is used to evaluate the accuracy of numerical solutions. His more recent work deals with solving macroeconomic models in which heterogeneity and contracting issues play a key role.

The key theme in Wouter den Haan's research is the idea that to understand macroeconomic fluctuations one has to understand how transactions take place at the micro level. In particular, it is important to understand how agents find each other (and in particular what the search costs are and how long it takes), what agents know about each other (and in particular whether there are informational asymmetries), and what kind of contracts agents can write. The importance of these “frictions” for macroeconomics has been understood for quite some time but only recently do we have the computational tools to analyze macroeconomic models that are buildup from non-trivial micro foundations.

Wouter den Haan has applied this theme both to labour and financial markets. His research has shown that a job-market matching model is very helpful in accounting for the high unemployment rates in several European countries. In particular, his research makes clear that the Growth and Stability pact—by keeping tax rates high until the number of unemployment has actually dropped—may make it more difficult to move towards the better equilibrium of low unemployment rates.

His work on the role of frictions in financial markets has shown how initially small shocks can lead to large fluctuations because of the feedback effects between the destruction of relationships of lending institutions and their clients and the amount that investors want to provide to these lending institutions. His research on financial markets also looks at the effects that changes in the interest rate by the central bank has on the economy. His recent work shows both empirically and theoretically that frictions between banks and consumers may actually be more important for economic fluctuations than frictions between banks and firms.

Teaching
In 2007 and 2012, Wouter den Haan won the Tinbergen Institute Teacher of the Year Award. According to a statement on the official Tinbergen Institute, "Students sincerely appreciate the effort he put into his courses and the MPhil sequence of macroeconomics courses in general." In 2012, he won the LSE Department of Economics Best Supervisor Award.

Oh-Wah-Ree is a mancala variant designed by Alex Randolph and published in 1962 by 3M as part of their bookshelf game line. The name "Oh-Wah-Ree" is taken from Oware, a typical West African game for which it is based on. It is played on a board with a ring of pits and stone playing pieces, distinguished from other mancala variants by the use of a second ring of holes to mark ownership of pits by the players, allowing play between more than two players at a time. The object is to capture the opponents' stones.

Gameplay
There are many different Oh-Wah-Ree variations which have their own rules and win conditions. In each version, pebbles are divided equally between the 12 pits. On their turn, a player chooses any one of the pits marked by a marker of their colour and scoops all the pebbles out of it, dropping them one at a time clockwise into adjacent pits.

In standard Oh-Wah-Ree, a player may capture pebbles when their last pebble is dropped in an opponent's pit which contains two or three pebbles. The game ends when one player cannot play because their pits are empty, or in a game with more than two players when two players in succession cannot play. The player with the most pebbles wins the game.

Grand Oh-Wah-Ree
Grand Oh-Wah-Ree is a rules variant of Oh-Wah-Ree in which the players capture pits as well as the stones in them. The capturing player places a marker of their own colour into the second ring of holes, replacing an opponent's marker, and the pit is theirs until it is recaptured. The game continues as normal, with the winner being the player with the greatest number of pits at the end.

Reception
Games magazine included Oh-Wah-Ree in their "Top 100 Games of 1981", noting that while there may be many commercial versions of mancala, "only this one includes rules for several of the best variations, as well as illustrative examples of entire games". The game was also included in their "Top 100 Games of 1982", where it was similarly said that of the wooden boards marketed by other companies "none of those editions provide so outstanding a rulebook, giving rules for 10 of the best two-rank mancala ("pit-and-pebble") games".

Sir Nicholas Lechmere (1613–1701), of Hanley Castle in Worcestershire, was an English judge and Member of Parliament.

Life
A nephew of Sir Thomas Overbury, Lechmere was educated at Wadham College, Oxford, and called to the bar as a member of Middle Temple in 1641. On the outbreak of the Civil War, he sided with Parliament, and in 1648 was elected MP for Bewdley. He was present at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. After the expulsion of the Long Parliament he represented Worcestershire in all three elected parliaments of the Protectorate, and resumed his seat for Bewdley in the brief resurrection of the Rump.

After the Restoration of Charles II, Lechmere did not return to Parliament, but continued his legal career. He had already served as Attorney General to the Duchy of Lancaster from 1654, and had become a bencher of his inn in 1655. He became a Reader of the Middle Temple in 1669. In 1689, he was made a serjeant-at-law, knighted and raised to the bench as a Baron of the Exchequer, in which role he continued until 1700.
He died at Hanley Castle on 30 April 1701.

Family
In 1642, he married Penelope Sandys, daughter of Sir Edwin Sandys, of Northbourne, Kent, by his fourth wife, Catherine, fourth daughter of Sir Richard Bulkeley of Beaumaris, father of Thomas, viscount Bulkeley of Cashel.
By her he had two sons, Edmund and Sandys.
His grandson, Nicholas, also a lawyer, served as both Solicitor-General and Attorney-General, and was raised to the peerage as Baron Lechmere in 1721.

The 1972–73 QMJHL season was the fourth season in the history of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The summer of 1972 saw the departure of the Saint-Jérôme Alouettes and the Verdun Maple Leafs from the league, reducing the circuit to eight teams. In an off-season lawsuit between the QMJHL and the OHA, the QMJHL gained a team, when the Montreal Junior Canadiens transferred leagues.

Michel Brière Memorial Trophy is first awarded to the league's most valuable player in honour of Michel Brière, who was killed in a car accident. Nine teams played 64 games each in the schedule. The Quebec Remparts finished first place in the regular season, and won the President's Cup, defeating the Cornwall Royals in the finals.

Team changes
 The Saint-Jérôme Alouettes cease operations.
 The Verdun Maple Leafs cease operations.
 The Montreal Junior Canadiens transfer from the Ontario Hockey Association to play in the QMJHL as the Montreal Bleu Blanc Rouge.
