Svetlana Mikhailovna Vasilyeva (; born July 24, 1992, is a Russian race walker. She won the 2011 Russian Winter Walking Championships in Sochi in the 10000 m track walk with a time of 42:43. The mark was not ratified as a world junior record as it was hand-timed. In August 2017, the All-Russia Athletic Federation announced that Vasilyeva had received a four year ban for doping violations, to be applied from 13 December 2016 onwards. She was also stripped of her previous results from 18 October 2011 until 14 July 2013 and 24 May until 12 December 2016.

David Gibson Black (29 March 1868 – 1940) was a Scottish international footballer who scored in the 1896 FA Cup Final for Wolverhampton Wanderers. He also played for both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

Career
Black was playing for local club Hurlford when he was capped by the Scotland national team in 1889. He played and scored in a 7–0 victory over Ireland at Ibrox on 9 March.

He moved south to Middlesbrough, then of the Northern League, before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1893, making his Football League on 2 September 1893 in a 7–1 loss at Nottingham Forest.

He featured regularly for Wolves between 1893 and 1896, and appeared in the 1896 FA Cup Final for them. He netted an equaliser during the final but ultimately had to settle for a runners-up medal as Sheffield Wednesday won the game 2–1.

After 84 appearances and 17 goals (in total) for the Midlanders, he moved to Burnley in 1896. His stay at Turf Moor was extremely brief though and he soon left for Tottenham Hotspur.

He spent just one full season with Spurs. At the beginning of the season he made his Southern League debut away against Sheppey United in a 3–3 draw. He played and scored in both of Tottenham's FA Cup games in that season.

The McLaren M14A is a Formula One racing car built and raced by McLaren in the 1970 World Championship and the 1971 World Championship. A later extension, the McLaren M14D featured a V8 Alfa Romeo engine.

Design

M14A
The M14A was an evolution of the previous M7A and M7C, with the primary change being the rear brakes were mounted inboard instead of outboard. As with the M7, the M14A was powered by a Cosworth DFV V8 and a Hewland 5-speed manual gearbox.

M14D
Like the M7D, the M14D was commissioned by Alfa Romeo's Autodelta competition department. It was a standard M14A powered by the 3.0 litre V8 engine from Alfa Romeo's T33 sports car.

Competition history

1970
The Formula 1 season started out with two second places, a fourth, and three retirements for Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme. Bruce McLaren was killed on 2 June 1970 at the Goodwood Circuit while testing the new M8D Can-Am car. McLaren withdrew their entries to the Belgian Grand Prix, which was run five days after the fatal accident. Hulme had also been injured the month before in a methanol fire while practicing for the Indianapolis 500.

McLaren resumed racing at the Dutch Grand Prix, with Dan Gurney and Peter Gethin driving. Hulme came back for the next race in France, replacing Gethin. Gurney ran one more race, then was replaced by Gethin for the rest of the season. Hulme was able to score three third places, but McLaren finished fifth in the 1970 Constructor's Championship.

Andrea de Adamich began the season campaigning an Alfa Romeo powered M7D, then switched to the M14D, also Alfa Romeo powered, for the Dutch Grand Prix.

1971
Peter Gethin started the 1971 season driving a 14A, while Denny Hulme raced the only 19A that had been built at that point. Following two retirements and an eighth place at the Spanish Grand Prix, Gethin was also given a 19A to race. The 14A was brought out of retirement for Jackie Oliver to race, who finished with a retirement, a ninth, and a seventh place to cap off the career of the McLaren 14A.

History

Kishi Station opened on August 18, 1933. On February 1, 2010, the Kishi Station building was closed and demolished. Construction began on a new station facility in March, with the cat-themed new complex opened in July.

Kishi Station was known for Tama the stationmaster cat, who became the mascot for the station until she died in June 2015. The cat held the official position as Super Station Master. Tama was succeeded as Station Master by another cat, named Nitama.

Since renovation, the station is housed in a cat-face-shaped building, with a Tama-theme cafe, with cat theme chairs and cakes. There is a souvenir shop with a wide range of stationery (pens, staplers and others) and Kishi Station uniforms. The Wakayama Electric Railway operates three cat-themed trains: Strawberry, Tama, and Toy. The feline stationmaster works on Friday–Tuesday (10am–4pm) and is off duty on Wednesday and Thursday.

Nicolas Julio Nkoulou Ndoubena (born 27 March 1990), known as Nicolas Nkoulou, is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Turkish Süper Lig club Gaziantep and the Cameroon national team.

Nkoulou began his career in the French league with Monaco, where he spent three years before signing for Marseille in 2011. With Marseille, he won his first senior trophy, the Coupe de la Ligue in the 2011–12 season. In 2016, he left Marseille for Lyon, but after a disappointing year he left to join Italian club Torino, initially on loan but later on a permanent basis. Though initially impressing, he fell out of favour, and left the club in 2021, before signing for English club Watford

Internationally, Nkoulou played 75 times for Cameroon between 2008 and 2017, and decided to retire shortly after winning the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring the equalising goal in the final. He represented Cameroon in two World Cups and three Africa Cup of Nations. In September 2022, he was called up to the national team for the first time after 5 years.

Club career

Monaco
Nkoulou began his career at Kadji Sports Academy in Douala, the same academy that produced the likes of Samuel Eto'o, Carlos Kameni, and Eric Djemba-Djemba. In late 2007, it was announced that he was acquired by the principality-based side AS Monaco. He agreed to a three-year professional contract with the club. He spent the latter portion of the 2007–08 season playing with Monaco's CFA squad, before joining the squad for preseason in July 2008, where he was handed the number 3 kit.

Nkoulou made two appearances during the pre-season starting their opening friendly match against fellow Ligue 1 side Toulouse and also starting against Croatian side NK Zagreb. He made his professional debut on 13 September 2008 in a 2–0 victory over Lorient starting the match before being substituted in the 65th minute. Though he made 24 appearances in the 2008–09 season,

The 2009–10 season saw Nkoulou to play in defensive midfielder for the most of the season under the new management of Guy Lacombe and newly signing, Sébastien Puygrenier. As the 2009–10 season progressed, Nkoulou signed a new contract with the club, keeping him until 2012 and was then reverted to central defence. NKoulou also played in the Coupe de France Final, coming on as a substitute for Eduardo Costa in the 111th minute, in a 1–0 loss against PSG and went on to make 23 appearances in the 2009–10 season despite being committed to the African Cup of Nation.

In the 2010–11 season, Nkoulou found himself in the transfer speculation and ended up staying at the club despite fallen out with Lacombe. Nkoulou continued remain in the first team, playing in the defensive midfielder position for the most of the season and central defence. Despite suffering from injuries and suspension, Nkoulou finished the 2010–11 season, making 30 appearances. However, following their relegation to Ligue 2, Nkoulou was among key players to be expected to leave the club.

His performances with Monaco have led to him being scouted by several prominent European clubs. English club Arsenal, Spanish sides Sevilla and Atlético Madrid and French champions Olympique Lyonnais have all declared their interests in the Cameroonian defender. During his time at AS Monaco, Nkoulou made 78 appearances and has started every match since playing the full 90 minutes in them all. He has yet to score a goal.

Marseille

On 29 June 2011, Nkoulou passed his medical and signed for four years with Marseille for €3.5 million. Marseille and Lyon found themselves competing over their interest signing Nkoulou before he chose Marseille.

After missing two matches, due to suspension he received while at Monaco, Nkoulou made his Marseille debut on 14 August 2011, in a 2–2 draw against Auxerre. In the next match against Saint Étienne on 21 August 2011, Nkoulou was involved in an incident with Florent Sinama Pongolle. But following the reviewing by the Disciplinary Committee of the LFP, he was received a three match ban. While serving his suspension in the league, he made his Champions League debut on Matchday 1 of the Group–stage, helping a club kept a clean sheet, in a 1–0 win against Olympiacos on 13 September 2011 and went on to play ten Champions League Matches. Eight days later on 21 September 2011, Nkolou made his return to the first team, in a 2–0 win over Evian. His performance throughout October saw him earned the club's player of the month of October. Nkolou continued to remain in the first team for the 2011–12 season despite another suspension (which he got a two match ban against Dijon) and a knee injury. Despite this, Nkoulou helped the club win against Lyon 1–0 in the final of Coupe de la Ligue, winning the cup for their first piece of silverware since 1981, as well as, being named Man of the Match. After finishing the 2011–12 appearance, making 46 appearances in all competition, Nkoulou was named Trophées UNFP du football's Team of the Year of 2012 and was nominated for the Prix Marc-Vivien Foé Award, but finished as runner–up to Younès Belhanda. Nevertheless, Nkoulou was awarded 2011–12 Olympique de Marseille Player of the Season.

In the 2012–13 season saw Nkoulou found himself in the transfer speculation when the club began to suffer financial trouble, but stayed at the club and insisting on honouring his contract. Nkoulou was ever–present in the 2012–13 season, having played all the match in the league and scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–1 win against Troyes on 3 March 2013. During the season, Nkoulou suffered a knee ligament injury and was sidelined for weeks, but managed to return to the league. At the end of the 2012–13 season, Nkoulou was named Trophées UNFP du football's Team of the Year of 2013 for the second time running.

Prior to the 2013–14 season, Nkoulou stated he was prepared to leave Marseille in the summer, prompting attracted interests from his former club Monaco, who were just promoted back to Ligue 1, and Arsenal. After the club set a higher price tag on him, Nkoulou remained at the club and started a bad start when he conceded a goal, in a 3–1 win over Guingamp in the opening game of the season. Despite this, Nkoulou redeemed himself soon after to continuously remain in the first team under the new management of Élie Baup. On 4 January 2014, Nkoulou extended his contract with Marseille, keeping him until 2016. As the 2013–14 season progressed, Nkoulou suffered a knee injury, which kept him sidelined for one match. After making his return, Nkoulou went on to score two goals later in the season against Saint Étienne and Sochaux. Nkoulou made 46 appearances and scoring twice in all competitions in the 2013–14 season.

Ahead of the 2014–15 season, the club were keen on selling Nkoulou, but following a friendly match against Bari, it appeared hinted that he wanted to stay at the club. His good performance against Guingamp on 23 August 2014 earned him Team of the Week on Matchday 3. Then on 19 October 2014, Nkoulou scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–0 win over Toulouse. Two weeks later, on 2 November 2014, Nkoulou scored again, in a 2–1 win over Lens. However, as the 2014–15 season, his appearance was soon restricted to 26 appearances in competition, due to injuries and international commitment with Cameroon. After two months without playing, Nkoulou made his first team return on 12 April 2015, in a 1–0 loss against Bordeaux and went on to help the finished the season in the 4th place at two points of a qualification in the Champions League.

Ahead of the 2015–16 season, Nkoulou's contract set to expire and haven't renewed his contract, though his future remained undecided. In the 2015–16 season, Nkoulou made his first appearance of the season, having missed through opening game of the season, in a 1–0 loss against Reims on 16 August 2015. In a match against Lille on 29 January 2016, Nkoulou captained Marseille for the first time following Steve Mandanda's absence, which they drew 1–1. In a match against Saint-Étienne on 21 February 2016, Nkoulou received a straight red card in a 1–1 draw. In addition to his disciplinary issues, Nkoulou was suspended three times in every Coupe de France matches, Nkoulou started in the Coupe de France Final, which they lost 4–2 against PSG. At the end of the 2015–16 season, the club faced a difficult season with three different managers during the season and finished the league in thirteenth place and finished the season, making 41 appearances in all competition.

With his contract expiring at the end of the 2015–16 season, Nkoulou attracted interests around clubs, such as Málaga, Schalke 04, Juventus and Lazio. However, on 27 June 2016, Nkoulou began talks with a move to stay in France by joining Lyon.

Lyon
After spending five years at Marseille, with his contract at the club expired, Nkoulou moved to rivals Lyon on a four–year contract on 29 June 2016; coincidentally was the day he joined Marseille. Upon joining the club, Nkoulou stated he joined Lyon to achieve greater things and was given number 3 shirt, which he quoted: ‘’“The No. 3? It is a wink to those close to me, because I am the youngest of three children.”’’

Nkoulou played his first official match for Lyon at the Trophée des Champions, making his first start, in a 4–1 loss against Paris Saint–Germain. A week later, he made his league debut for the club, in the opening game of the season, in a 3–0 win over Nancy. In his first match against Marseille for the first time, which saw them draw  0–0 on 18 September 2016, Nkoulou received boos from Marseille supporters during the match every time he touched the ball. Around the same time he was competing with Mouctar Diakhaby, Nkoulou's performance soon came under criticism by observers, prompting Manager Bruno Génésio defended him.

Torino
On 5 August 2017, Italian club Torino announced they had signed Nkoulou on a year-long loan with an option to purchase. He made his debut on 11 August 2017, in the Coppa Italia against Trapani, won by Torino 7–1. His debut in Serie A took place instead on 20 August, against Bologna (1–1). He scored his first goal for the club on 2 December, during a 1–1 draw against Atalanta. At the end of his first season with the club, he was voted by the fans as the best player of Torino in the 2017–18 season. His contract was redeemed by Torino for €3.5 million.

On 2 September 2018, he scored his first goal of the 2018–19 season, and the match-winner with a header against SPAL (1–0). In August 2019, Nkoulou asked to not be selected for Torino's Serie A fixture against Sassuolo, and their UEFA Europa League play-off against Wolverhampton Wanderers, with a desire to transfer to AS Roma. In September, with no transfer taking place, he wrote a letter saying he had decided to "leave the difficult moment of the summer behind me", and apologised to Torino fans, staff, and his teammates.

At the end of the 2020–21 season, Nkoulou parted ways with Torino upon the expiry of his contract.

Watford
After spending time as a free agent, on 7 October 2021, Premier League club Watford announced the signing of Nkoulou on a deal until the end of the season.

Following relegation at the end of the 2021–22 season, Nkoulou was released by the club.

Gaziantep
On 11 September 2023, Turkish Süper Lig club Gaziantep announced the signing of Nkoulou on a one-year contract.

International career
Nkoulou was included in the Cameroon U-23 squad that participated in the 2008 Summer Olympics. He helped the squad reach the knockout round, where they were eliminated by Brazil.

Nkoulou was called up by the national team for the first time on 4 November 2008 He would make his international debut in the senior squad on 19 November 2008 in a friendly against South Africa, which they lost 3–2.

N’Koulou played all three matches in the World Cup, as Cameroon were eliminated in the group stage.

After captain Samuel Eto'o and vice–captain Eyong Enoh were suspended for five and two matches respectively by Cameroon Football Federation for their action of boycotting a friendly match against Algeria, Nkoulou was appointed as captain of Cameroon on a temporary basis and captained his first national match, in a 1–0 win over Guinea-Bissau.

Following Eto’o refused to return to the national squad in late-August 2012, The Cameroon Football Federation stripped him of his captaincy in response and Nkoulou was appointed as a new captain of Cameroon. In the FIFA World Cup, Nkoulou was among 23 players to be included for the squad. Nkoulou played all three matches and retained his captaincy, as Cameroon struggled in the World Cup after losing three matches that saw them eliminated in the World Cup. The following year, Nkoulou was called up into the squad by the national team for the African Cup of Nations.

Two years later on 26 March 2016, Nkoulou scored his first international goal, in a 2–2 draw against South Africa, the team he made his national debut eight years ago.

His equalizing goal against Egypt in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Final is the first goal to be conceded by Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations finals since Mengistu Worku's goal in the 1962 African Cup of Nations final.

Plagiosauridae is a clade of temnospondyl amphibians of the Middle to Late Triassic. Deposits of the group are most commonly found in non-marine aquatic depositional environments from central Europe and Greenland, but other remains have been found in Russia, Scandinavia, and possibly Thailand.

Material
The majority of plagiosaurid remains are of the genus Gerrothorax, which have been recovered from the Fleming Fjord Formation of Jameson Land, East Greenland, and from many localities in southern Germany. All of this material is currently assigned to a single species, pulcherrimus. Plagiosuchus material is also very abundant, though poorly preserved and has been found only from Germany. Additional material, including the material of all other plagiosaurids, is significantly more fragmentary and less abundant than that of Gerrothorax. These additional materials are predominantly from Germany and Russia with some potential material also reported from Thailand and Brazil.

Description
Plagiosaurids are predominantly characterized by the unique structure of their skulls and the armor that lines their trunk. The heads of these animals are short and wide with an overall semi-circular layout and extremely large orbital fenestrae. The skull and trunk of these organisms are generally vertically compressed to varying degrees within members of the clade to form an overall flattened body plan. Some articulated, three-dimensional preservation of plagiosaurids indicates that this flattening was a feature of the animals in life and is not a preservation artifact. The amount of vertical compression in plagiosaurids varies somewhat with the most basal member, Plagiosuchus, being only somewhat compressed while more derived members such as Gerrothorax and Megalopthalma being much significantly more compressed. Their skull, also vertically compressed, has dorsally oriented large orbital fenestrae and contained a battery of small teeth the curve inward. The trunks of these animals have shortened limbs relative their body size and the backs were generally covered in bony armor which is denser in the more derived members of the clade.

Ecology
Plagiosaurids are believed to have lived an almost entirely aquatic lifestyle. Much of this interpretation stems from analysis of the remains of Gerrothorax because specimens of this group are so much more abundant and well preserved than other plagiosaurid remains. Aside from their remains being found dominantly within aquatic settings, evidence for an aquatic lifestyle comes primarily from evidence that the clade possessed internal gills, given by the presence of branchial arches that were lined with arteries. Additionally, the limbs of plagiosaurids are short relative to their body size and the size of their pectoral girdle. Coupled with their vertically compressed body plan, a popular interpretation for these organisms has been that they lived on the floor of freshwater systems and were obligatorily aquatic. To facilitate a bottom dwelling lifestyle these organisms possess a special jaw joint, the atlanto-occipital joint, which facilitates the lifting of the cranium to open the mouth rather than lowering the jaw as would be expected in other organisms. Consequently, it is presumed that the animal would lay flat on river or lake beds waiting in ambush to catch prey, such as fish. It has been proposed that they may have captured prey via suction by rapidly opening their mouth and then clamping down with their curved teeth. This is somewhat supported by the lateral elongation of the skull in later plagiosaurids like Gerrothorax and Plagiosternum compared to earlier members such as Plagiosuchus. The elongation of the skull is interpreted to have facilitated muscle attachment to the back of the skull and increasing the ability and force directed toward lifting the head.

The large orbits of plagiosaurids have only been extensively analyzed in a single study which put forth two plausible eye structures. According to this study, because of their incredibly flat and vertically compressed skulls, it is unlikely that the eyes actually filled the space of the groups large orbits because the eyes would permanently protrude into at least part of the palate. Thus, it is most plausible that, like many modern amphibians, the eyes of these animals were actually significantly smaller than the orbit and positioned toward the front of the skull, though there is not enough data to make conclusive judgment about their exact position. Schoch et al. (2014) also put forward the hypothesis that the group had large, flat, lensless eyes similar to a family of abyss dwelling teleost fish, the Ipnopidae. These lensless eyes would allow plagiosaurids to detect when something is moving directly above them by causing a shadow in the light detected by the retina. While not observed among modern amphibians today, this hypothesis does align with the interpreted life habit of plagiosaurids and helps to explain the abnormal space afforded to the orbits of these animals.

Plagiosaurids also represent an interesting case of extreme evolutionary and morphological stasis. The features of these animals change very little through their evolutionary history despite changes. Schoch and Witzmann analyzed the collections of Gerrothorax material and noted that, despite being recovered from multiple environments that encompass approximately 40 million years of time, the general body plan of Gerrothorax was relatively static. This was interpreted to support a relatively high degree of biological flexibility in these animals despite their somewhat unique ecology.

Island Xtreme Stunts is an action-adventure video game, and the sequel to Lego Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge, making it the third and final game in the Lego Island series, despite dropping the original Lego Island title and logo from the name. Like Lego Island 2, the game was developed by Silicon Dreams Studio. It was co-published by Electronic Arts and Lego Interactive, and was released in 2002, for the PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows, with a spin-off also released for Game Boy Advance.

Plot
Pepper Roni has been cast as the lead in an action movie being filmed on Lego Island (appropriately titled "Xtreme Stunts") and the Brickster (who had somehow made it back to Lego Island) has been released from jail after he claimed to have reformed and is now playing a part of the film. After performing a motorbike jump through a large poster as a publicity stunt, he is then taken to the first scene where he performs a high-speed freeway car chase after the Brickster, who has been ironically cast as the main villain of the film. Upon completion, Pepper is given free roam of Lego Island, allowing him to explore and complete side missions as he continues the film in other locations throughout the island. As the player makes more progress in missions, it becomes more and more apparent that the Brickster has plans of his own, and later he kidnaps the Infomaniac and reveals his tower that his Brickster-Bots have built and has made a supercomputer that will disassemble the entire world. Pepper naturally comes to the rescue while the host tries to shut down the supercomputer. He once again outwits and imprisons the Brickster while the supercomputer was instead reprogrammed to disassemble the tower, allowing the film to be completed and released on schedule (which the player is able to view upon completion of the game). In the end, Pepper has access to all areas of the island, allowing him to redo scenes of the movie and different tasks.

Characters
The majority of the original Lego Island and Lego Island 2 cast return. Pepper Roni remains the star of the game, while his adoptive parents Mama and Papa Brickolini continue their career running a pizzeria. The Infomaniac's role has been reduced from the player's guide to a simple cameo. Others retain their roles, such as Ed Mail the postman, Nick and Laura Brick the police officers, Mrs. Post the grocer, and others. The studio director is introduced, serving as a guide for the player through the stunts and giving him various objectives throughout the game itself.

Unlike Lego Island and Lego Island 2, Pepper does not speak any dialogue in the game aside from grunts and one-word exclamations, making him a silent protagonist. When doing stunt work, however, he can make comments that are more than one word.

Gameplay
Like Lego Island 2, the player controls Pepper throughout the game, exploring the island in a non-linear style. Players are able to control and ride various vehicles throughout the city (only once they have obtained their correct licences). There are various collectible items scattered throughout that will rebuild animals composed of large Lego pieces, and there are also minigames in some parts of the city, such as helping one of the grocery store owners arrange and organize crates for storage.

When filming stunts, the player is briefed by the director on how to perform the stunts within the scene, followed by a "practice room" where Pepper can practice controlling the vehicle used in front of a bluescreen (as various Brickster Bots control the mechanics for him). The player is then taken to "perform" the scene by playing the minigame within it. Upon its completion, players are taken to the screening room to see a "take" of the scene, which includes some humorous and unintentional event taking place behind the scenes (different difficulties play different takes). Players are then graded on their performance, based on how quickly objectives were completed and how many bonus stunts were performed.

Sets
From 2002 to 2003, an official Island Xtreme Stunts series of Lego sets was released. The line featured replications of the characters to semi-canonical sets such as skateboard parks and various vehicles used in the game. However, these did not financially impact the success of either the game or the Lego series itself, and the theme was discontinued after the first year. The sets are now collectors' items.

Reception

The PC version holds a 71 at Metacritic and the PS2 version holds a 63. Official PlayStation Magazine gave the game a 70 and stated on a positive note that "there's surprising depth and lots to do for a younger crowd. It's perfect for an under-13 gamer" whereas IGN says there are much better titles for children.

German submarine U-2518 was a Type XXI U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine at the end of World War II, which later served in the French Navy, where she was commissioned as Roland Morillot, in honour of Roland Morillot, a French submarine officer killed in 1915.

Service history

Kriegsmarine
The submarine was laid down on 16 August 1944 at the Blohm & Voss yard at Hamburg, launched on 4 October 1944, and commissioned on 4 November 1944 under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Friedrich Weidner. After training with 31st U-boat Flotilla, U-2518 was transferred to 11th U-boat Flotilla for front-line service on 1 April 1945, though this was too late for the U-boat to sail on any combat patrols or sink any ships. On 9 May 1945, she surrendered to British forces at Horten Naval Base, Norway. She was taken to Lisahally, Londonderry. U-2518 was handed over by the British to the French Marine Nationale. On her journey from Lisahally to France, she stopped in Dún Laoghaire in February 1946.

Marine Nationale
The U-boat arrived at Cherbourg on 26 February 1946, and after repairs made her first voyage on 20 August. In January 1948 she sailed from Toulon to Casabianca completely submerged, and in April 1948 was permanently assigned to the Navy. On 14 February 1951 she was renamed Roland Morillot. In August 1956 she took part in Operation Musketeer during the Suez Crisis. In 1967 the submarine was placed in reserve, and on 21 May 1969 was sold to Lotti S.p.A. at La Spezia for scrapping.

"Homer the Whopper" is the twenty-first season premiere of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 27, 2009. In the episode, Comic Book Guy creates a new superhero called Everyman who takes powers from other superheroes. Homer is cast as the lead in the film adaptation. To get Homer into shape, the movie studio hires a celebrity fitness trainer, Lyle McCarthy, to help him. Homer gets into great shape and is really excited, but when McCarthy leaves to train another client, he starts over-eating again and ultimately this leads to the film's failure.

The episode was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who are "obsessed" fans of the show, and directed by Lance Kramer. "Homer The Whopper" was intended to be a commentary on how Hollywood treats superhero films. Rogen also guest stars in the episode as the character Lyle McCarthy, making him the second guest star to both write an episode and appear in it; Ricky Gervais was the first.

"Homer the Whopper" has received mixed reviews from television critics and acquired a Nielsen rating of 4.3 in its original broadcast.

Plot
Bart and Milhouse persuade Comic Book Guy to publish Everyman, a comic he has created and written in which the titular hero can absorb the superpowers of any character whose comic book he touches. It becomes an instant hit, and many Hollywood studios become interested in making it into a film. Comic Book Guy signs a movie deal, on the condition that he gets to choose the star. He considers Homer to be perfect for the role, as he envisions Everyman as a middle-aged fat man. However, the studio executives hire fitness trainer Lyle McCarthy to get Homer into shape, knowing that audiences prefer to see physically fit actors in superhero roles.

One month later, Homer has become fit under Lyle's training regimen and the film begins production. Lyle soon leaves Homer to begin working with a different client, though, and Homer reverts to his old habits of laziness and overeating and quickly regains all the weight he lost. The film begins to go over budget, and Comic Book Guy and the executives fear that it will not be successful. The final version includes shots of Homer in both his fit and overweight states, confusing the audience and ruining their enjoyment. Although the premiere is a disaster, the executives offer to let Comic Book Guy direct a sequel as long as he gives the film a good review. Comic Book Guy is pleased at first, but soon changes his mind and posts a scathing online review. The film becomes a box office bomb, and a law is passed to prevent any future film adaptations of Everyman from being made.

Production

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, writers of the film Superbad, are "obsessed" fans of The Simpsons. After learning that The Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks was a fan of Superbad, they decided to ask the producers of the show if they could write an episode. In 2006, Ricky Gervais, co-creator of The Office, received credit for writing the season 17 episode "Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife". Rogen and Goldberg "thought if [Gervais] got to write one, maybe [they] could try." They were invited to The Simpsons writers room, where they pitched several episode ideas. One was accepted, and they wrote an outline with the help of some feedback from the regular writers.

Rogen commented that he and Goldberg wanted to show with the episode how Hollywood generally ruins superhero films. He said that "the whole joke is that Homer is cast to play a guy who's an everyman and they try to make him into this physically fit guy." Rogen also noted that the plot mirrors the situation he was in while working on the film The Green Hornet, when he had to lose weight and do physical training for his role. Show runner Al Jean commented that the writers tried not to repeat the comic book film theme from the "Radioactive Man" episode. Instead they decided to parody the fact that almost every comic book has been turned into a film. Jean commented that that scene in the episode in which the studio executives "are trying to think up an idea that hasn't been done really is what they are doing these days [in real life]."

The table read took place in August 2008, and production on the episode began soon after that. Rogen later said that "we sat down for a read-through and three hours later I'm in a studio improv-ing with Homer Simpson, it was the single greatest day of my life." Rogen also voiced the character of Lyle McCarthy, making him the second guest star after Gervais to both write an episode and appear in it. The Simpsons creator Matt Groening also makes an appearance in the episode.

Reception
In its original American broadcast in the United States on September 27, 2009, "Homer The Whopper" was watched in 8.31 million homes and acquired a 4.3 Nielsen rating/12 share.

Since airing, "Homer the Whopper" has received mixed to positive reviews from television critics.

Steve Fritz of Newsarama called the episode "amazing" and commented that the "overall comic book theme was perfect."

Reviewers for TV Guide cited Matt Groening's cameo, the dinner table scene, Homer trying to lose weight at the Kwik-E-Mart, and the opening scene where Bart questions Comic Book Guy about Spider-Man as the highlights of the episode.

Robert Canning of IGN was positive about "Homer The Whopper", giving it an 8.6/10 rating. He commented that the first act of the episode was the strongest, while the others were weaker. Canning believed the reason for this was that the viewers have already seen Homer "struggle with his weight countless times, and Rogen's trainer, though funny much of the time, will likely never be remembered as a classic guest role." He added, however, that Rogen and Goldberg are able to find "a few new angles with the weight jokes, so it's not a complete loss." Overall, Canning thought "Homer The Whopper" was a good start to the twenty-first season, and although the plot may not be very original, the writers added "freshness to the proceedings."

The A.V. Clubs Emily VanDerWerff did not think the script was as good as Gervais', but commented that Rogen and Goldberg "managed to make a mostly amusing season premiere." She added that she thought the Hollywood satirizing featured in this episode had been overused on the show, but "the specificity of what the [episode] was making fun of—trainers who help stars slim down (in this case, helping Homer slim down)—went a long way toward making the episode palatable." VanDerWerff concluded that while the episode "didn't try anything new[...], [she] had fun with it all the same, ultimately giving the episode a B."

Lake Wales Municipal Airport  is a public-use airport located  west of the central business district of the city of Lake Wales in Polk County, Florida, United States. The airport is publicly owned.

Overview
The airport's service area includes the cities of Lake Wales, Dundee, Eagle Lake, Fort Meade, Frostproof, Highland Park, Hillcrest Heights, and Lake Hamilton. Typical operations conducted at the airport are local and transient general aviation, localized recreational glider activity, and skydiving. Presently there are no air carrier, commuter or air taxi operations conducted at the airport.

The airport's current role and classification are listed in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport System (NPIAS) as a General Utility General Aviation Airport capable of accommodating virtually all general aviation aircraft with maximum gross takeoff weights of 12,500 pounds or less with wingspans up to, but not including, 79 feet.

History
Opened in 1928 as a civil airport, in 1943 the airport was leased by the United States Army Air Forces as an auxiliary airfield of Sarasota Army Airfield. III Fighter Command used Lake Wales Army Airfield for fighter training of replacement personnel. The Army improved the facility which included the construction of the two present 4,000-foot runways. No permanent units were assigned.

It was inactivated in 1945 and returned to civil control.

Brachyopoidea is a superfamily of temnospondyls that lived during the Mesozoic. It contains the families Brachyopidae and Chigutisauridae. The earliest records of brachyopids are from the Lower Triassic in Australia.  The latest-surviving member of the superfamily is the chigutisaurid Koolasuchus from the Early Cretaceous of Australia.

Description

Some large brachiopoids, such as Siderops and Koolasuchus, grew to lengths of around . However, an unnamed Late Triassic or Early Jurassic brachiopoid from Lesotho in southern Africa is estimated to have been far larger. At an estimated , the brachiopoid from Lesotho is one of the largest amphibians sensu lato ever known. This estimate is based on a single jaw fragment found in 1970 by a French expedition near Alwynskop in Quthing.

Because of its size, the fragment was initially considered to be from a mastodonsaur. However, Several features of the specimen indicate that it is from a brachyopoid. There is a large tusk protruding from the ectopterygoid, a bone of the palate, and the dental morphology is similar to that of other brachyopoids. When viewed from the side, the upper margin of the jaw appears concave. The specimen was redescribed as a brachyopoid in 2005.

Excuses for Bad Behavior is a two-part album series by Sandra Bernhard. The first album was released in 1994 while the second was released in 2004.

Part one

Excuses for Bad Behavior (Part One) is a combination of spoken comedy bits, comedic songs, and pop/rock music.

Co-written and co-produced by Bernhard's longtime collaborator Mitch Kaplan, the album features Bernhard singing originals and standards. Disco classic "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" begins with a vocal solo and is then translated to a modern dance song. "Manic Superstar" combines the song "Everything's Alright" from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar and the song "Manic Depression" by Jimi Hendrix. "Sympathy For the Devil" by the Rolling Stones is also covered.

Comedic bits include the spoken word "The Letter", in which Bernhard reads a fictional letter from a lesbian fan who has "heard" the album in question ("Jesus Christ, why is she singing?"). "Christmas" is a story of holidays past told by a Jewish woman who never actually experienced them. Other songs have a comedic edge, such as "Prophecies", a spoof on 1-900 psychic hotlines.

The album was released on a smaller independent label and did moderately well, but is currently unavailable for mainstream purchase. Plans for a special two-disc re-release (made exclusively available on Bernhard's website) have been posted there for over a year, but no product has been offered yet.

Part two

Excuses for Bad Behavior (Part Two), like Part One, is a combination of spoken comedy bits, comedic songs, and pop/country/rock music. Unlike Part One, the album was not released by a major label. It was sold on burned CD-Rs by Bernhard at her live shows and via her website.

Bernhard announced in 1995 that she had no interest in making a (Part 2), despite the title of (Part 1) , and that rather the title was simply a "tongue-in-cheek twist on" the Guns N' Roses albums Use Your Illusion I & II.

The album deals heavily with politics, including discussions about 9/11. In "The Dixie Chicks", Bernhard sings:
"The Dixie Chicks were wrong, then right. I can't comprehend what is true. You tell me something, then take it back. Why the hell do you support Iraq?" The political controversy that surrounded The Dixie Chicks is discussed. A small tour was launched to accompany the release. They would later become friends; Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks appeared at several of Bernhard's performances of her later show Everything Bad & Beautiful, and the group and Bernhard appeared in a Christmas commercial for Old Navy.

Susharma () is the king of Trigarta in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.

Legend
During the Kurukshetra War, Susharma attacked Virata, the king of the Matsya Kingdom, but was defeated by Bhima. Susharma was responsible for distracting Arjuna on the thirteenth day of the war. On the thirteenth day, Drona instructed the Kaurava forces to organise in a chakravyuha formation to kill Yudhishthira. Aware that Arjuna and Krishna knew how to break the formation, Susharma distracted them, ensuring that they would be on the other side of the chakravyuha. He was killed by Arjuna on the final day of the war while the rest of his army was retreating.

Nizhalgal ( ) is a 1980 Indian Tamil-language drama film co-written and directed by Bharathiraja. The film stars primarily newcomers such as S. Rajasekar (credited as Rajasekaran), Raadhu (credited as Rohini), Ravi, Chandrasekhar and Suvitha. It revolves around a group of youngsters and their struggles to overcome the challenges faced by them in society.

The film's crew contained a host of newcomers including the lyricist Vairamuthu and Manivannan, both would later go on to become an established lyricist and a director respectively. It was released on 6 November 1980. Though a commercial failure, the film received critical acclaim and was screened at the "Indian Panorama" section of the International Film Festival of India in 1981. The same year it won two awards at the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.

Plot
Gopi and Hari, two unemployed graduates, share a room in Madras. While Gopi is looking for a job, Hari, a harmonium player, aspires to become a music composer in the film industry. They both manage to make ends meet with the help of their friends. Their neighbour is Prabhu, a college student who spends all his time smoking, painting and singing. A new family relocates to their apartment. The couple have a daughter Mahalakshmi. Prabhu and Maha both study in the same college and become good friends. Prabhu decides to apprentice under a veena exponent, who dies before Prabhu joins the class.

Gopi gives tuition to Maha and they fall in love. During this time, Gopi, Hari, and Prabhu get arrested for different reasons. Maha pledges her necklace and bails them out. In an attempt to reform, Prabhu meets his college principal but gets dismissed from the college after impulsively slapping him for extinguishing his cigarette on a flower. He is scolded by his father but Maha is supportive of him. Prabhu assumes that she loves him. During this time Maha's parents force her to discontinue her tuition as some of their relatives suspect she and Gopi are in a relationship. Hari gets a break in films and receives an advance payment from the producers. Using the sum, they return Maha's necklace. By this time, Maha's parents start looking for a groom for her.

Maha meets Gopi and advises him to find a job so that they can marry. Hari is dropped from the film because the financier of the film does not want a new, untested music composer. Gopi and Hari are evicted from their room for not paying the rent, and seek shelter with Mani, a rickshaw puller. Gopi gets a telegram informing him that his father is dead. To bear Gopi's travel expenses, Mani's son Singam goes out but meets with an accident. Hari tries to make money by becoming a street performer but fails. Gopi approaches a moneylender to borrow money for Singam's treatment. The moneylender talks ill about Singam, angering Gopi into stabbing the moneylender and taking his money. When he returns, Singam is already dead.

Meanwhile, Maha's parents arrange a marriage for her. When she meets Prabhu, he confesses his love for her. A shocked Maha informs him that she never loved him, only Gopi. Prabhu is disappointed and feels life has betrayed him at every turn. He tries to molest Maha but stops when she takes a knife and threatens that she will kill herself. Prabhu feels guilty, takes the knife and stabs himself to death. By this time, Gopi arrives at her house and informs her that he has killed the moneylender for money. They both decide to take the next step and are married immediately. The next day they are arrested for the deaths of Prabhu and the moneylender. Hari throws his harmonium in the sea and becomes insane.

Cast

Production
Manivannan joined Bharathiraja's unit as an assistant in the film. He scripted the story and co-wrote the film with Bharathiraja. The film's cast, principal cast in particular – Ravi, Chandrasekhar, Raadhu, and Rajasekar – completely featured newcomers. Raadhu was credited as Rohini, and Rajasekar as Rajasekaran. Ravi was earlier asked to audition for Bharathiraja's Niram Maratha Pookkal (1979) as a dubbing artist for the lead character. However, since Bharathiraja himself dubbed for character, Ravi was dropped. Bharathiraaja, however, signed up Ravi for Nizhalgal as the lead actor, thus marking Ravi's cinematic debut. Bharathiraja cast Rajasekar because he liked his eyes. Some outdoor scenes were filmed in Mekkarai.

Themes
The main theme of the film is unemployment.

Soundtrack
The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The song "Ithu Oru Pon Malai" was written by Vairamuthu, making his cinematic debut. He got the starting lines ready within 30 minutes. The song is set in Kedaram raga, while "Poongathave" is set in Mayamalavagowla. The rock and roll song "Madai Thiranthu" was later remixed by Yogi B and Natchatra in their album Vallavan. A remix version of "Ithu Oru Pon Malai" is featured on music artist M. Rafi's album Aasaiyae Alaipolae. Ilaiyaraaja later reused "Dhoorathil Naan Kanda" as "Vennello Godari" for the Telugu film Sitaara (1984).

Release and reception
Nizhalgal was released on 6 November 1980 alongside Varumayin Niram Sivappu with both films having similar themes of unemployment. Radhakrishnan of Kalki praised the performances of newcomers as natural, Ilaiyaraaja's music and cinematography as colourful and concluded by calling direction as the reality of life as shadow. Although the film's story, music and the performance of the cast members received critical acclaim, it failed at the box office. After the film's release, the name "Nizhalgal" was added to Ravi's name as a prefix.

Accolades
At the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards (1981), Nizhalgal won two awards – Best Music Director (for Ilaiyaraaja) and Best Male Playback Singer (for S. P. Balasubrahmanyam). At the International Film Festival of India in 1981, Nizhalgal was one of the 21 films to be screened at the Indian Panorama section. It was one of the two Tamil films to be screened at the festival; the other being Doorathu Idi Muzhakkam which was released the same year.

Legacy
Made in the neo-realistic style, the film was a different attempt by Bharathiraja. The French film critic Yves Thoraval in his The cinemas of India stated: "a gloomy and violent film despite musical scenes with pretty dancers in short skirts." In 2008, short filmmaker R. V. Ramani in an interview with The Hindu recalled Nizhalgal as being a film that made a strong impact on him. He further called the film as a pathbreaking one in Tamil cinema. In a 2015 interview, Bharathiraja noted that he had to return to mainstream filmmaking due to the financial failure of Nizhalgal.
