Levanga Hokkaido is a Japanese professional basketball team based in the city of Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido.
The club was founded in 2006 as Rera Kamuy Hokkaido, this name comes from the language of the Ainu, an ethnic group indigenous to Hokkaido, and means "god of the winds".  The franchise changed its name twice in 2011; the first when the club's parent company was kicked out of the league due to financial woes in the season. The team ended the season with a league-backed management group and a new moniker, calling itself Basketball Club Hokkaido. And finally, took its current name Levanga Hokkaido, in August 2011.

The team debuted in the Japan Basketball League in the 2007–2008 season and is one of only three teams in the league not owned by a major Japanese manufacturing company.

Levanga plays its home games mainly at the Hokkai Kitayell, but, as the team represents the entire Hokkaido Prefecture, also plays some home-games at the Asahikawa City General Gymnasium, Otaru City Gymnasium, Hakodate Arena, Obihiro City General Gymnasium & Kushiro Shitsugen no Kaze Arena.

The club was 200 million yen in debt in March 2017, but has since paid it off.

On May 15, 2006 the United States Department of Defense acknowledged that there were three Mauritanian captives held in Guantanamo.

The Guantanamo Bay detainment camps were opened on January 11, 2002 at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, in Cuba. The Bush administration asserted that all captives taken in the "global war on terror" could be held there, in extrajudicial detention, without revealing their names. The Associated Press had filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the names of all the captives. The Department of Defense justified keeping the information secret on the grounds of protecting the captives' privacy, as they had not been charged with crimes. After exhausting legal appeals, the Department of Defense were forced, by a court order, to release the identities of all the Guantanamo captives.

WTOP reported in 2006 that one of the Mauritanians held in Guantanamo had been transferred to United States officers by former leader Maaouya Sid'Ahmed Ould Taya.

Mayea Boat & Aeroplane Works  is an American wooden boat builder based in Michigan. The company was founded in 1911 by Louis T. Mayea and represents the oldest family-run custom mahogany speedboat builder/designer in the United States.  While all other early wooden speedboat builders have changed owners, shut their doors, or turned to fiberglass construction, Mayea Boat & Aeroplane Works continues the wooden speedboat tradition with direct lineage to the company's founder.

History
Louis T. Mayea started building boats in 1893 when he was 15 years old.  In 1907 he became the Superintendent of the newly formed Detroit Launch & Power Company.  The company was incorporated in Detroit, Michigan by John F. Hacker, father of the now well-known boat designer John L. Hacker.

In 1908 the company roles were listed as: John F. Hacker, President; Louis T. Mayea, Vice President and Superintendent; and John L. Hacker, General Manager.

The company designed and built launches, sailboats, hydroplanes and cruisers up to 60'.  In 1911 The Detroit News reported that the company had designed and built the fastest step bottom hydroplane in the United States, named Kitty Hawk II.  That same year the company gained attention after designing and building the first successful pontoons for Russell Alger's Wright Brothers Model B plane. Frank Trenholm Coffyn used the hydroplane in 1912 to take off and land on the Hudson River, enabling him to capture aerial video of the New York skyline for the first time in history.

By September 1911 Louis T. Mayea had taken control of the company and renamed the firm to Mayea Boat Works.  The new company's advertisements touted their ability to build launches, hydroplanes and cruisers up to 100' in length.  In 1916 the General Aeroplane Company commissioned Mayea Boat Works to build a line of mahogany, two-passenger, biplane flying boats.  The planes were named Verville Flying Boats after their designer, Alfred Verville.  They were the first Michigan-designed and built planes sold to the U.S. Navy.  That same year the company was renamed to Mayea Boat & Aeroplane Works and relocated to Fair Haven, Michigan.

During the Great Depression the American economy slowed, as did the luxury boat business.  The company was somewhat better positioned then other boat manufactures as it had remained a family-run business able to survive on building a small number of custom boats.  In order to stay solvent the company also began building fast custom bootleggers for local rum-runners to smuggle booze the short distance from Canada to Detroit.  The outbreak of World War II helped put the company on more solid footing.  Louis' sons, Louie and Herbert, produced three experimental military boats for a joint venture between Gray Marine Motors and General Motors: the 49' GM2, the 53' GM3, and a 65' troop huller named GM6.  GM3 was powered with four GM 6-71 diesels, making it the fastest diesel-powered boat in the United States.

In 1946 the first Mayea boat branded as a Mays Craft was design and built.  The company continued designing and building one-of-a-kind custom wooden boats through the years for customers such as William Andrew Fisher of Fisher Body.

Today
Mayea Boat & Aeroplane Works is run by third and fourth generation Mayeas.  Mixing new technology with tradition handed down by their fathers and grandfathers, the company still designs and builds custom one-of-a-kind mahogany boats up to 60' in length.  The Mayea family constructs one to two boats per year.  The last boat to be built was a custom designed and built 47' mahogany runabout.  It is thought to be the world's largest custom diesel-powered varnished mahogany runabout.  The boat's amenities include hand-wrapped ostrich skin seats, black ebony inlaid teak floors, 850 horsepower Italian Sea Tec diesels and custom fabricated stainless steel hardware.

Rabbi Hayyim Habshush (, alternate spelling, Hibshush, ca. 1833–1899) was a coppersmith by trade, and a noted nineteenth-century historiographer of Yemenite Jewry. He also served as a guide for the Jewish-French Orientalist and traveler Joseph Halévy. After his journey with Halévy in 1870, he was employed by Eduard Glaser and other later travellers to copy inscriptions and to collect old books.

In 1893, some twenty three years after Halévy's jaunt across Ottoman Yemen in search of Sabaic inscriptions, Habshush began to write an account of their journey, first in Hebrew, and then, at the request of Eduard Glaser, in his native Judeo-Yemeni Arabic. His initial account was scattered in three countries (Israel, Austria and Yemen), copies of which were later pieced together by Habshush's editor, Shelomo Dov Goitein.

Habshush's most important contribution to science is that he helped scholars Joseph Halévy and Eduard Glaser decipher the Sabaean inscriptions which they had come to copy in Yemen, having made transliterations of the texts in the Hebrew alphabet for easier comprehension.

While Halevy was detained by illness in Sana'a, Habshush went alone to Gheiman, a few miles south-east of Sana'a, where, despite difficulties arising from the suspicion of the people, he copied many inscriptions and excavated part of the pre-Islamic city-wall. Later, Habshush would write about his friend and companion, Joseph Halévy: "My home I have forsaken, and unto a land rife with [harsh] decrees have I gone with you. My delightful children, my pleasant brothers and my good friends have I left behind, but for the love that I have for attaining your wisdom, I am bound withal; and to be somewhat of a scout, while assuming upon myself a little of the wisdom of my lord, I have put my life into mine own hands, by traversing a land that is not cultivated, a land of wild men, just as your eyes have seen, all the hardships that we found along the way, until my return unto my own house."

Family background
As a prominent member of the Jewish community in Yemen, Rabbi Habshush served as one of the principal leaders of the Dor Deah movement alongside Rabbi Yiḥyah Qafiḥ, and Sa'id 'Arusi.

The Hibshush family is one of earliest known Jewish families to have settled in Yemen, as he mentions the family living in Yemen before the advent of Islam, and who, along with four other Jewish families (al-Bishārī, al-Futayḥī, al-‘Uzayrī  and al-Marḥabī) served the illustrious Sasson Halevi who had recently moved to Yemen from Iraq (Babylonia). Sasson Halevi is the progenitor of the renowned Alsheikh Halevi families, as well as the  Yitzḥaq Halevi families, the former of whom rose to prominence after the Mawza Exile, and the latter of whom produced one of the last judges of the rabbinic court at Sana'a, Rabbi Yiḥya Yitzḥaq Halevi. The Hibshush family was originally called by the surname al-Futayḥī. In Yemen, however, Jews would address the family by the name of "Hibshush," while Muslims would say "Habshush."

Legacy
One of the important revelations arising from Hayyim Habshush's expedition with Joseph Halevy to the city of Saada and in the regions thereabout is that, in his book Masa'ot Hibshush (Travels of Hibshush), he mentions the city of Tilmaṣ as being the old city of Saada. He brings down an old Yemeni rhymed proverb:  "If you are evasive (Ar. malaṣ), then I am from Tilmaṣ". The importance of this revelation lies in the fact that scholars were heretofore uncertain about the place called "Tilmas" in Benjamin of Tudela's Itinerary, mentioned alongside Tayma, and where two Jewish brothers were allegedly the princes and governors over those places in the 12th century. One is now in Saudi Arabia while the other in Yemen.

Man of justice
One of the special traits with which Rabbi Hayyim Hibshush was gifted was his deep sense of justice and his natural abhorrence of evil. Ya'akov ben Hayyim Shar‘abi was the Jewish treasurer of the heqdesh, money raised for the poor of Sana'a. He was found murdered in his house in 1895, and money was stolen which had been placed in his charge. Hayyim Hibshush conducted an investigation and revealed the identity of the murderer, who was then imprisoned.

A Jewish newcomer to Sana'a named Yosef Abdallah ("the servant of God") declared himself to be the herald of the coming Messiah and made his living by selling amulets and poultices. He lured simple and unsuspecting persons by his words of deliverance and by his prophylactic talismans, and the leaders of the community suspected him of being an impostor and one who harbored impure motives, and he was further suspected of revelry and of lechery with women; the leaders also feared that he would bring harm to the community by a perceived threat to the government. Rabbi Hibshush closely watched him and had his house placed on surveillance. The man's impure motives eventually became clear to Rabbi Hibshush, and he persuaded the magistrates and the governor (wāli) of the city to ask the man to leave.

 Masot Habshush () The travels of Hayyim ben Yahya alongside Joseph Halévy in Yemen and the life of Arabs and Jews living there (published in 1941, and republished in 1983; edited by S.D. Goitein).
 Korot Yisrael b'Teiman () A history of the Jews in Yemen during the 17th and 18th Century CE, believed to be a recension of an earlier work composed by chronicler, Yahya b. Judah Sa'di, and to which Hibshush added his own chronologies. The work is most noted for its detailed description of the Mawza Exile (Galut Mawza) in 1679-1680.

Warrior Challenge was a 2003 PBS reality television series.  The show, produced by WNET in association with Channel 5 in Britain, premiered May 6, 2003 and lasted four episodes.

The show involved volunteer American and British military personnel and public workers competing in historically accurate simulations of military life in the given time period.  Along the way, the competitors vied in challenges.  Unlike reality shows on commercial networks, there was no winner of the show; thus, no prizes were awarded. John Waller, an expert in ancient and medieval arms and armor, served as the trainer while the British medieval historian Dr. David Carpenter served as a historical consultant.

While the show appeared to be a response to the reality craze that Survivor created, the show's executive producer Beth Hoppe claimed that the show's objective was to "show what modern people do when they're faced with these historic challenges."

List of episodes
The following is a list of Warrior Challenge episodes:
"Romans" (May 6, 2003)
"Knights" (May 13, 2003)
"Vikings" (May 20, 2003)
"Gladiators" (May 27, 2003)

Related programmes
The series followed from social history documentaries on UK television based on historical reconstructions, including the 2001 series Timewatch: Roman Soldiers to be. and Surviving the Iron Age, a 2001 update of the original 1978 experiment in Iron Age living Living in the Past. Another series which was similar to Warrior Challenge and aired at around the same time was Conquest, which aired on the History Channel from 2002–2003, and was hosted by Peter Woodward.

Helisson () was a town in ancient Arcadia, Greece. It was situated in the district Maenalia, situated on Mount Maenalus near the territory of Mantineia, near the source of the river Helisson (present Elissonas), a tributary of the Alpheius. According to Greek mythology, the town was founded by Helisson, a son of Lycaon.

The town was taken by the Lacedaemonians in one of their wars with the Arcadians, 352 BCE; but most of its inhabitants had been previously removed to Megalopolis upon the foundation of the latter city in 371 BCE. There was a temple of Poseidon with a statue of the god. Pausanias (who visited in the 2nd century CE) found the head of the statue still remaining. The Elisphasii mentioned by Polybius are conjectured by some writers to be a corrupt form of Helissontii.

Its site is tentatively located south the modern Piana.

"New Krypton" is a 2008–09 comic book story arc featuring character Superman, published by American company DC Comics; it was written by Geoff Johns, James Robinson and Sterling Gates, with art by Gary Frank, Alex Ross, Renato Guedes, Jamal Igle and Pete Woods. The arc is an inter-title crossover, published in Action Comics, Superman and Supergirl.

The story features Superman coming to terms with the death of his adoptive father while also dealing with 100,000 Kryptonians now living on Earth as a result of the Brainiac story arc. This story begins a planned "link" on Action Comics, Superman, and Supergirl as part of their collective plans for Superman and his cast of characters through 2008 and beyond. The events of this story lead directly into the 12-part series Superman: World of New Krypton.

Publication history
In the months before Johns started his Brainiac arc, and James Robinson took over writing duties on Superman, both Johns and Robinson had made clear their plans for the Superman-related titles following those arcs for the rest of 2008 onto the end of 2010. The plan was to link the three Super-books (Action Comics, Superman, and Supergirl), allowing them to cross over more fluidly on a regular basis and also allowing the narratives to be tied together similar to a bi-weekly series.

According to Johns, the plan was to make readers want to get the Super-titles because they would not feel that "you HAVE to read, but that you WANT to read". Robinson also added that even though neither he nor Johns would be writing Supergirl, they made it clear that they were still the advisors to the book's next ongoing writer, Sterling Gates. Gates, coming onto the Supergirl title with issue #34, has stated his intention of working with Johns and Robinson, stating:

Summary
Following the events of the "Brainiac" story arc, the entire city of Kandor now resides near the Fortress of Solitude in the North Pole, populated by 100,000 Kryptonians.

Although distracted by the recent death of Jonathan Kent, Superman attempts to aid the Kryptonians in their assimilation with the rest of the Earth, something very few Kryptonians seem interested in, including the city's leaders, Zor-El and Alura, Supergirl's parents.

After the first televised meeting between the President of the United States and a delegation from Kandor is interrupted by a rampaging Doomsday, Zor-El and Alura form a task force determined to preemptively end any future threat to Kandor by capturing Superman's worst villains and trapping them in the Phantom Zone. However, when several human police officers refuse to hand over the Parasite, they are killed by the task force, enraging Superman.

At the same time, Lex Luthor, who has been recruited by General Sam Lane to halt the Kryptonian "invasion", gains control of Brainiac and unleashes his robot army from within the depths of the alien's spaceship, currently being held in Kandor. During the fight, Metallo and Reactron, who are working for Luthor and General Lane, are brought into Kandor as Trojan horses containing kryptonite. Reactron manages to kill Supergirl's father, Zor-El.

Alura's anger causes her to denounce humanity. Members of the Justice League and Justice Society arrive in Kandor, led by the Guardian demanding the city turn over those who murdered the police officers, and a large-scale battle erupts, with Superman in the middle. It only ends when Kryptonian scientists manage to use Brainiac's technology to lift Kandor off the Earth and grow an entirely new planet underneath it, called "New Krypton", on the other side of the solar system, directly opposite the Earth, and therefore hidden by the sun.

Alura tells Superman that he is not welcome on New Krypton, although Supergirl takes up residence there with her mother. In the end, Alura frees General Zod from the Phantom Zone to help her lead their people.

New characters

New Krypton introduced several new super-powered characters to the Superman universe.  These characters are modern versions of older and, up until recently, mostly unused heroes.

Nightwing and Flamebird

A new Nightwing and Flamebird first appeared in Superman's Fortress of Solitude guarding the Phantom Zone projector in order to prevent anyone loyal to General Zod from freeing the despot.  Both Nightwing and Flamebird exhibit powers that are not inherent to normal Kryptonians: Flamebird shoots fireballs from her hand while Nightwing uses tactile telekinesis.  Unlike previous portrayals, Flamebird is female and is older than the teenage, male Nightwing. Starting with issue #875, they are the starring characters of Action Comics.

The origin of Nightwing and Flamebird was revealed in Action Comics Annual #12.

Superwoman

The mysterious, masked Superwoman demonstrates apparent Kryptonian abilities.  She makes an effort to comfort Supergirl following her father's death. Although her true identity is initially unknown, her costume is similar to the Kristin Wells version of Superwoman. At the end of the New Krypton arc, Superwoman murders Agent Liberty, after catching him spying on General Sam Lane and Lex Luthor, calling out "Intruder Alert" as she does so. She is later revealed to be working for General Lane.

Superwoman is the focus of the "Who is Superwoman?" arc in Supergirl. She is revealed to be Lucy Lane, Lois Lane's younger sister.

Planet New Krypton

The new Planet Krypton is created by Kryptonian scientists reportedly using Brainiac's technology along with Kryptonian crystal-growth technology to grow a planet underneath the city of Kandor, which resides under one of Brainiac's force-fields.

The planet itself greatly resembles the Krypton of Superman the Movie in that it is a planet entirely covered in ice, with one lone city atop its North Pole.

Its position, within our Solar System but opposite Earth, hidden by the sun, comes from the 1940s Superman radio show where the planet Krypton existed before its destruction.

It is also inspired by the pre-Crisis Rokyn, which was likewise settled by the restored Kandorians. Unlike New Krypton, Rokyn orbited a red sun, so its inhabitants did not have superpowers.

Issue numbering
The story, New Krypton, was featured as a crossover between the monthly Superman, Action Comics, and Supergirl titles. Each issue was branded with a green pentagon badge indicating what part of the story it was. The numbering continued after the series conclusion, until reaching number 35 with Superman issue number 690. The numbering was restarted, and the badge was made red, for the Codename: Patriot and Superman: Last Stand of New Krypton storylines.

April Showers is a 2009 American independent drama film written and directed by Andrew Robinson. It stars Kelly Blatz, Daryl Sabara, Ellen Woglom, Illeana Douglas, Janel Parrish, and Tom Arnold. It is based on the Columbine High School shootings, of which Robinson is a survivor. The film was shot at Plattsmouth High School in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, in May 2008.

Plot
In the aftermath of a school shooting, several survivors have evacuated to the elementary school to wait for more survivors to arrive. A senior named Sean Ryan calls his friend Vicki at a coffee shop, who tells him that the shooter is Ben Harris, a friend of Sean's. Sean is left speechless.

That morning, before the massacre begins, a student named Jason is being bullied and is struggling to pick up his books, but then Sean helps him. Sean reminds Jason that school is almost over and that he shouldn't let the bullying get to him. The two then go into their school, Jefferson High School; both are seniors there. It is a Monday, and Sean, his best friend Nick, and a few other students, are working on the school play. Sean learns that his friend Ben Harris, who works the lights, is absent, so Jason substitutes for him.

Later, during a lunch period, Sean talks to his math teacher, Martin Blackwell, about the crush he has on his friend, April Lauren. Mr. Blackwell tells him to let her know how he feels about her. Suddenly, the fire alarm rings, and everyone assumes that it is a senior prank. However, as they leave, they hear low rumbling. Mr. Blackwell and Sean then see a group of students, running for their lives and screaming. Three gunshots are heard, and everyone immediately realizes that someone is shooting a gun inside the school. Mr. Blackwell takes a group of students back into his classroom to hide, while Sean and Nick decide to flee for their lives, taking a panicked girl named Samantha ("Sam") with them.

Meanwhile, Jason is left to fend for himself, but he does manage to make it out of the school, carrying out the body of a dead girl in the process. Mr. Blackwell eventually decides to take his group of students and flee, but as they do, the shooter shoots him in the back from behind. Mr. Blackwell tells the students to run, but one student, Jonathan, instead drags Mr. Blackwell back into the math classroom. Jonathan attempts to save his life, but after several minutes, Mr. Blackwell tells him to wait in the closet until help arrives. Sean, Nick, Sam, and a few other students including their friend Mike, stumble upon a suburban area where the injured have evacuated. While searching for April, Sean runs into April's best friend, Jessica, who tells him that the police are having survivors congregate at an elementary school. Sean, Nick, and Mike then decide to go with Jessica.

Meanwhile, a SWAT team enters the school through the main entrance. A single gunshot is then heard, implying that the shooter has committed suicide. While searching, the police find Jonathan, but Jonathan is shocked to learn that Mr. Blackwell has died of his wounds. Jonathan goes into hysterics and blames himself for not doing anything to save him. The film then returns to the beginning scene, where Sean learns that the shooter is Ben. Sean is shocked after learning this, but Nick takes it the hardest, refusing to believe that Ben would cause any trouble. The last group of survivors then arrives, and Sean searches frantically for April. However, a teacher, Sally Reedman, comes in and informs Sean that April is dead.

Sean struggles to cope with April's death, and Jason learns that the security cameras at school captured him carrying the dead girl out, and that he is being hailed as a hero. Later, Sean learns that fourteen people, including Mr. Blackwell, April, and Ben, are dead. April's car is turned into a memorial, and a TV executive, Helen Mann, tries to help Jason cope with his dilemma by introducing him to Sam, believing she was the girl that Jason carried out, but Jason says that it wasn't her. The next night, as everyone learns Ben's motives for the shooting, Sean has a flashback about how he was unable to tell April about his feelings for her. This flashback causes him to break a mirror, cutting his hand in the process. Sean's father later takes him home.

Meanwhile, Jason's situation spirals out of control, causing him to have a mental breakdown in the middle of a grocery store. He later reveals to Sean that he doesn't believe himself to be a hero because he feels that he is responsible for the death of Matt, a student who bullied him. Later, Nick is released from police custody after falsely being suspected of helping Ben plan the shooting. He says goodbye to Sean and he and his family move away. Meanwhile, Jason commits suicide, unable to take any more of his "fame".

At April's funeral, Jessica gives Sean April's diary. After Sally, Jessica, and Sean perform eulogies for their fallen friend, Sean goes to April's grave and starts crying.

Production notes
During the credits, the list of several school shootings from the past (including Columbine and Virginia Tech) are shown, along with the victims of the massacres. A message is then displayed about how officers are now trained to set up a perimeter and move toward gunfire in a school shooting situation since Columbine.

Blumine Island /  is an island in the outer reaches of Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui, in the Marlborough Sounds at the northern end of New Zealand's South Island.

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "meeting place of spirits" for Ōruawairua.

Description
Blumine Island covers  and is mostly hill country. The island is located about  north of Picton.  It is the site of a scenic reserve meaning anyone can visit the island. A visit by Captain James Cook left the island infested with introduced pests, which have since been eradicated through the use of helicopter poison drops, conducted by the Department of Conservation. In May 2008 the island was declared predator free and efforts began to reintroduce native species back to the island.

During World War II, two gun emplacements were built on the island by soldiers and workmen from the Public Works Department. This was to protect a planned American Navy anchorage in the Marlborough Sounds from a feared Japanese invasion. The sites were abandoned in 1945 towards the end of the war. In 2012, walking tracks were built, connecting the island's main campsite with the emplacements.

Blumine Island hosts Outward Bound and Untouched World Charitable Trust who help in the maintenance of the island.

Kiwi
On 29 June 2010, three pairs of the rarest kiwi, rowi kiwi were released onto the island.

Country Club is a neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. According to the Piton Foundation, "The Country Club neighborhood is bounded by University Boulevard, Cherry Creek, Downing Street, and 8th Avenue. Two main features of the neighborhood are the Denver Country Club and Country Club Place subdivision, designed by William and Arthur Fisher, working with Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. in 1909."

The neighborhood consists of 380 homes, making it one of Denver's smallest in number of homes. However, most of the lots and houses are large. Part of the neighborhood forms the Country Club Historic District, but the boundaries of the historic district and the neighborhood proper are not the same; the historic district is smaller and goes from 1st Ave. to 4th Ave. and from Downing St. to University Ave.  At Race St. the district goes from 1st to 6th Ave.

The Denver Country Club, a private club, is located on the southern boundary of the neighborhood, along Cherry Creek.

I soferina (Greek: , The Chauffeur Lady) is a 1964 Greek theatrical comedy film directed by Giorgos Roussos, The Last Joke (Το Τελευταίο Ψέμα = To Telefteo Psema).  The movie was released into cinemas the same as To doloma was released which it had the same protagonistic twin, but with a different company.

The movie acted together for the first and only time in two great star, Aliki Vougiouklaki and Maro Kontou.

Plot

The film opens with Michalis (Giorgos Konstantinou) searching for his wife at a salon, where he is told his wife is not there and is forced to leave for disturbing the customers. He drops by a gathering of her friends, where he is told she declined attending to tend to her sick grandmother. Finally, he visits her grandmother, who tells him that she is in excellent health and that his wife has not visited in over a month.

The film then cuts to Mary (Aliki Vougiouklaki) who is practicing dance steps with her maid and sings about looking forward to her outing that night. Michalis' wife, Lilly (Maro Kontou) arrives and thanks Mary for letting her borrow her car, and apologises for scratching it; Lilly confides in Mary that she was just on a date. Nikos (Alekos Alexandrakis), Mary's husband and Michalis' colleague, arrives home, and is greeted by Mary and Lilly, the latter of which explains that she was waiting for Mary who has just returned from a car trip. Mary goes along with the lie so as not to expose her friend's infidelity.

As Mary and Nikos get ready for their outing that night, they notice that the car is not just scratched, but has been in a crash; Mary panics and builds on the lie, claiming that she omitted describing the accident earlier so as not to worry Nikos.

While out with Nikos, they are joined by Takis (Giorgos Pantzas), Nikos' friend and lawyer. Mary feels uncomfortable lying to Nikos and is about to come clean, when Takis brings up a recent divorce case he worked on, and Nikos agrees that once a man knows his wife can lie to him, he will no longer trust her, prompting Mary to keep quiet.

The following day, a stranger visits Mary at home, claiming that Mary hit her dog with her car and demanding compensation, further blackmailing Mary when she sees that the man in the car was not Mary's husband; Mary gets money from Nikos to pay her off. After the woman leaves, a wallet is found belonging to a man. Mary claims that the woman may have dropped it. A police officer also drops by the house and summons Mary to court for the traffic accident.

At court, Takis arrives to represent Mary. While waiting for Mary's case to be heard, Takis and Nikos go for coffee, and Mary strikes a conversation with a man in the courtroom. Another woman interrupts jealously, saying that the man is her lover. Mary's case is called while Takis is still having coffee, and without her lawyer present, Mary makes a negative first impression with the judge. The woman from the courtroom is bringing a claim against Mary for the traffic accident, and her lover is also her lawyer.

A police officer corroborates the woman's claim, saying that he saw Mary speed past him with a man in her car, giving him a rude gesture as she did so. A vision-impaired tavern owner also puts Mary and a young man at the scene. The blackmailing woman, who turns out to be a con artist who fakes accidents involving her dog so people pay her compensation, was also in court that day, and also chimes in from the gallery that she saw Mary at the scene. Takis, who arrives from his coffee break, notes that they found a wallet she dropped; the man it belongs to turns out to be the claimant's lawyer, and the witnesses confirm they saw him in the car with Mary.

Mary calls Lilly as a witness, who confesses to borrowing Mary's car and causing a traffic accident. However, the other witnesses double down on their assertions that Mary was the person they saw in the car, and Takis says that he cannot argue in the face of the facts presented by these witnesses. The judge finds Mary guilty and excuses Lilly for her perceived perjury, expressing admiration for her willingness to take the fall for her friend.

Nikos too believes that his wife was unfaithful, and initially refuses to pay Mary's fine, so Mary spends the day in a holding cell, where the other inmates sing to cheer her up. Nikos returns to pay the fine, and is angry to find Mary singing with the prisoners.

At home, Nikos says that Mary's supposed infidelity relieves him of the guilt he felt about his own. He reveals that during a work trip to Salonika four months ago, he stayed 12 extra nights not to work, but to lay with another woman. The couple argue and sleep in separate rooms. Mary has a dream (shown through rainbow colours in an otherwise black and white movie) where she tries to dance with Nikos but is interrupted by another woman as other women laugh at her.

Michalis confronts Nikos at work about Lilly's testimony, and Nikos reassures him that Lilly lied to protect Mary. Michalis confronts Lilly at home, who claims the same thing, but Michalis is unsatisfied with inconsistencies in Lilly's account.

Mary learns that there is a photographer stationed outside the tavern where Lilly and the man were spotted, and could prove her innocence if he took a picture of the couple. Lilly recalls the same, and calls the man asking him to find the picture. Mary and the man both drive to the tavern, pursued by their respective significant others. Mary and the man arrive at the same time, and photographer confirms that he did take a picture of the couple, but that another man already bought it from him earlier that day. Mary offers the photographer double if he can find the film and make another print. Nikos, seeing Mary and the man together by the photographer, feels that his suspicions are confirmed and drives off. The woman, on the other hand, gets out of her car and throws rocks at the man.

Mary arrives home, and does not tell Nikos where she has been in an effort to make him jealous. Takis arrives as Nikos' divorce attorney, Nikos having instructed him to produce divorce papers at speed. Takis asserts that he could represent both parties at divorce proceedings, and Mary requests a private conversation with him as her purported lawyer. Mary flirts with Takis, so when Nikos comes in to check on them, he finds Takis in a compromising position. Nikos angrily asserts that Takis agreed to expedite the divorce proceedings so that Mary would be an unmarried woman and Takis could make his move. Takis asks Mary to explain the situation, and echoing Takis' ineffective assistance at her court hearing, Mary says that she cannot argue in the face of the facts presented by Nikos.

Nikos fires Takis, and says that he needs to pack for a trip to get away from Mary. Mary echoes this statement and goes to pack as Nikos answers a call at the door. Nikos is visited by Michalis, who bought the exculpatory photograph and explains that he overhead his wife calling the man asking him to collect it, and he managed to get there first.

Mary arrives with two suitcases, ready to leave, and is disappointed that Nikos does not try to stop her from leaving. Nikos instead offers to take her bags to the car, and come along for the drive so he can bring the car back from the airport. During the drive, Mary reasserts her innocence, saying she has photographic proof that she was not driving the car that day. Nikos adamantly refuses to see it and says it will not change his mind. He then reveals that he has already seen the photograph and believes that she was faithful; the two kiss in the car, blocking traffic.

In mathematics, the Dyson conjecture  is a conjecture about the constant term of certain Laurent polynomials, proved independently in 1962 by Wilson and Gunson. Andrews generalized it to the q-Dyson conjecture, proved by Zeilberger and Bressoud and sometimes called the Zeilberger–Bressoud theorem. Macdonald generalized it further to more general root systems with the Macdonald constant term conjecture, proved by Cherednik.

Dyson conjecture

The Dyson conjecture states that the Laurent polynomial

has constant term

The conjecture was first proved independently by  and .  later found a short proof, by observing that the Laurent polynomials, and therefore their constant terms, satisfy the recursion relations

The case  n = 3 of Dyson's conjecture follows from the Dixon identity.

 and  used a computer to find expressions for non-constant coefficients of
Dyson's Laurent polynomial.

Dyson integral
When all the values ai  are equal to β/2, the constant term in Dyson's conjecture is the value of Dyson's integral

Dyson's integral is a special case of Selberg's integral after a change of variable and has value

which gives another proof of Dyson's conjecture in this special case.

q-Dyson conjecture
 found a q-analog of Dyson's conjecture, stating that the constant term of

is

Here (a;q)n is the q-Pochhammer symbol.
This conjecture reduces to Dyson's conjecture for q=1, and was proved by , using a combinatorial approach inspired by
previous work of Ira Gessel and Dominique Foata. A shorter proof, using formal Laurent series, was given in 2004 by Ira Gessel and Guoce Xin, and
an even shorter proof, using a quantitative form, due to Karasev and Petrov, and independently to Lason, of Noga Alon's Combinatorial Nullstellensatz,
was given in 2012 by Gyula Karolyi and Zoltan Lorant Nagy.
The latter method was extended, in 2013, by Shalosh B. Ekhad and Doron Zeilberger to derive explicit expressions of any specific coefficient, not just the
constant term, see http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~zeilberg/mamarim/mamarimhtml/qdyson.html, for detailed references.

Macdonald conjectures
 extended the conjecture to arbitrary finite or affine root systems, with Dyson's original conjecture corresponding to
the case of the An−1 root system and Andrews's conjecture corresponding to the affine An−1 root system. Macdonald reformulated these conjectures as conjectures about the norms of Macdonald polynomials. Macdonald's conjectures were proved by  using doubly affine Hecke algebras.

Macdonald's form of Dyson's conjecture for root systems of type BC is closely related to Selberg's integral.

Cibotium barometz, the barometz, golden chicken fern or woolly fern, is a species of tree fern native to parts of China and to the western part of the Malay Peninsula. The fern's woolly rhizome was thought to be the inspiration for the mythical "Vegetable Lamb of Tartary".

Description and distribution
Cibotium barometz has been classified in the fern family Dicksoniaceae and is one of a small number of tree fern species that Carl Linnaeus initially placed in the fern family Polypodiaceae in his Species Plantarum.

The plant grows only to a height of , when erect, but is often prostrate, forming colonies of plants on open forest slopes and in disturbed areas. The fronds are up to  long. The sori are marginal on the pinnules.

The species is a folk medicinal herb in common use. It was thought to be the mythical Vegetable Lamb of Tartary during the Middle Ages due to the resemblance of its woolly rhizomes to a lamb. Although it is widely distributed, the plant has been extensively collected in Southeast Asia, causing the decline in the population size and number of individuals.

The White Grass Dude Ranch is located in the White Grass Valley of Grand Teton National Park. The rustic log lodge, dining hall service building and ten cabins were built when a working ranch was converted to a dude ranch, and represented one of the first dude ranch operations in Jackson Hole.  The White Grass was established in 1913 by Harold Hammond and George Tucker Bispham, who combined two adjacent ranches or  each, and was converted to a dude ranch in 1919. Bispham had worked at the Bar B C before moving out on his own. The dude ranch operation continued to 1985, when the ranch was acquired by the National Park Service.

Description
The White Grass overlooks the southern end of Jackson Hole, lying close to the southern Teton Range, just to the west. The ranch complex is organized around its central road, with the dining hall and lodge near the center and the cabins disposed to the north of the dining hall and on either side of the one lane road. Structures share a consistent rustic character, varied chiefly by a choice of green or red asphalt roll roofing. The White Grass once featured a concrete-lined swimming pool, fed by water diverted from Stewart's Draw, which also fed a pond called Lake Ingeborg after Galey's wife Inge. The cold water in the supply ditches was used to cool drinks for the dudes.

The ranch includes the Main Cabin, with kitchen and dining hall, and which is believed to have been the original Hammond residence. Other structures include the Hammond Cabin, occupied by the Hammonds, the Bachelors' Quarters and Girls' Cabin for male and female employees, and the guest cabins.

History
Harold Hammond was born in 1891 in Blackfoot, Idaho, arriving in Jackson Hole at the age of ten to live with his sister. In 1910 he worked for the Bureau of Reclamation at Jackson Lake Dam, then worked as a wrangler for the Bar B C. Hammond was intermittently available at the ranch, probably working at the Bar B C in 1914 and enlisting in the U.S. Army for two years from 1917. After 1919 Hammond and Bispham operated the dude ranch in earnest, doing away with most traditional ranching operations. By 1924 Bispham and Hammond sold out to the Bar B C, but continued to manage the White Grass. Hammond set up a fox farm on the ranch which sold pelts to dudes in 1925, a revenue-increasing strategy employed by several other ranches, incorporating the operation in 1927. In 1928 Hammond and Bispham bought back the operation from the Bar B C Corporation, then Bispham sold out to Hammond in December. Hammond expanded to 18 cabins by 1930, adding private baths by 1936, apparently against opposition by some long-term customers who were accustomed to privies and bath water delivered by roustabouts. The main house expanded as well.

Hammond had married Marie Adele Ireland of Crystal Run, NY in 1922, but Marie died a few years later. In 1936 Hammond married dude Marion Galey, a widow who had been coming to Jackson Hole since 1919, spending her summer that in 1919 at the Bar B C, then staying at the White Grass until Christmas. Her son, Francis "Frank" Holt Galey, Jr. began working at the White Grass the year of the marriage. Harold Hammond began to suffer from ill health and died in 1939.  Marion and Frank then took over the operation. With the coming of World War II the ranch suffered from a shortage of supplies and labor.  Frank Galey enlisted in the military and left the ranch with caretakers.  Returning in 1946 he found that the ranch had deteriorated. In partnership with Norman Mellor, Galey expanded the ranch to handle 55 dudes. Galey bought out his mother and Mellor in the 1950s, and in 1956 he was forced to sell the bulk of the ranch to the National Park Service for $165,000 and a life estate so the property could be used as a bat-sanctuary. In 1966 he closed the fox farm. Galey died in 1985 and the ranch became Park Service property.

The White Grass is significant along with the JY and Bar B C as one of the first dude ranching operations in Jackson Hole. After Hammond and Bispham converted it from a working ranch to a dude ranch, control passed to Hammond's son Frank Galey who operated it until his death in 1985, the longest-active dude ranch in Jackson Hole.

Present use
Following Frank Galey’s death in July 1985, dude ranch operations ceased and the cabin Galey built in the late 1940s burned to the ground. Soon after, Grand Tetons National Park, owner of the White Grass Ranch since 1956, inventoried the property and began efforts to return the land to its ‘natural state’ removing several landscape features and many White Grass buildings not listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

In 2002, the Park explored the feasibility of rehabilitating the ranch for a National Park Service (NPS) training center to teach historic preservation skills. The National Trust for Historic Preservation and the National Park Service signed an agreement in 2003 to create a historic preservation training program and facility that focused on western rustic historic architecture.

The Western Center for Historic Preservation (WCHP/NPS), newly established in 2006 and headquartered in Moose, WY, worked to rehabilitate the 13 original log buildings while simultaneously training NPS staff and volunteers in the appropriate methods to preserve and maintain rustic western architecture. Preservation workshops began in 2016 with the newly rehabilitated cabins acting as housing for trainees and volunteers, while new interpretation programs emerged to convey the architecture as well as the lifestyles of early residents, giving new life to the buildings.

The National Socialist Teachers League (German: , NSLB), was established on 21 April 1929. Its original name was the Organization of National Socialist Educators. Its founder and first leader was former schoolteacher Hans Schemm, the Gauleiter of Bayreuth. The organization was based in Bayreuth at the House of German Education. On October 27, 1938, the NSLB opened its own Realschule for teacher training in Bayreuth.

After Schemm's death in 1935, the new leader, or Reichswalter, was Fritz Wächtler.

This organization saw itself as "the common effort of all persons who saw themselves as teachers or wanted to be seen as educators, independently from background or education and from the type of educational institution". Its goal was to make the Nazi worldview and foundation of all education and especially of schooling. In order to achieve this it sought to have an effect on the political viewpoint of educators, insisting on the further development of their spirit along Nazi lines. Organized mountain excursions in places called  (Exchange Camps of the Reich) were perceived as helping in this purpose.

The organization was dissolved in 1943 by the financial administration of the NSDAP.

Nabokov’s Butterflies is a book edited and annotated by Brian Boyd and Robert Michael Pyle that examines and presents Vladimir Nabokov’s passion for butterflies in his literary presentation.

The book contains a chapter by Boyd discussing the literary treatment of butterflies in VN’s work labeled "Nabokov, Literature, Lepidoptera", a chapter by Pyle to assess Nabokv’s standing as a lepidopterist ("Between Cloud and Climb") and writings of Nabokov concerning butterflies. The latter section includes previously unpublished writings by Nabokov, namely "Father’s Butterflies: Second Addendum to The Gift (translated by Dmitri Nabokov) and "The Butterflies of Europe", notes concerning an unfinished book about the lepidoptera of Europe. The book also contains an addendum compiled by Pyle that lists butterflies described by Nabokov and butterflies named after him.

Note
The above book is not to be confused with Nabokov’s Butterfly (), a book by Rick Gekosi, a bibliophile, who recounts his experiences in the collection and sale of rare books.

Henrietta Emma Ratcliffe Rae (30 December 1856 – 26 January 1928) was a British painter of the late Victorian era, who specialised in classical, allegorical and literary subjects. Her best-known painting is The Lady with the Lamp (1891); depicting Florence Nightingale at Scutari.

Biography
Henrietta Rae was born on 30 December 1856 in Hammersmith, London, to Thomas Burbey Rae, a civil servant, and Ann Eliza Rae (), a musician who had been a student of Felix Mendelssohn. She had three brothers and three sisters.

Rae began formally studying art at the age of thirteen, being educated at the Queen Square School of Art, Heatherley's School of Art (as the school's first female pupil) and at the British Museum. Rae reportedly applied to the Royal Academy of Arts at least five times before eventually gaining a seven-year scholarship. Her teachers there included Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, who had the strongest influence on her later work, as well as Frank Dicksee and William Powell Frith.

In 1884 she married painter and fellow Royal Academy student Ernest Normand, but kept her maiden name – a choice considered unusual at the time – because she had already begun to establish her reputation as an artist, having been a frequent exhibitor at the annual Royal Academy exhibitions since 1881. Rae and Normand lived in Holland Park, the residence of many other artists of the day. Frequent visitors included Leighton, Millais, Prinsep, and Watts. However, the attention was not always welcomed. In her memoirs, Rae described the overbearing attitudes and conduct of some of the more senior artists. In one such case, Prinsep dipped his thumb in cobalt blue paint and marked up one of Rae's pictures. In retaliation, Rae "accidentally" burnt his hat on her stove.

Rae and Normand travelled to Paris in 1890 to study at the Académie Julian with Jules Joseph Lefebvre and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant. In 1893, they moved to Upper Norwood, into a studio that was custom-built for them by Normand's father. The couple had two children, a son (born in 1886) and a daughter (born in 1893).

Rae exhibited   her work at the Palace of Fine Arts and The Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.

Rae was a supporter of feminism and women's suffrage. In 1897 Rae organised an exhibition of the work of female artists for the Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

She died on 26 January 1928 at Upper Norwood.

Works
Rae specialised in classical, allegorical and literary subjects. Her painting Elaine Guarding the Shield of Lancelot (1885) drew inspiration from the Tennyson poem Lancelot and Elaine.  Among her many other paintings in the classical vein, Eurydice Sinking Back to Hades (1886) won Honorable Mention at the 1889 International Exhibition in Paris and a medal at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.  Her 1891 painting Miss Nightingale at Scutari (1854), of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, has been frequently reproduced, and is generally referred to as The Lady with the Lamp.

Rae's Psyche at the Throne of Venus (1894) measures  and contains 13 figures. Her painting Sir Richard Whittington Dispensing His Charities (1900) depicts Richard Whittington; a medieval merchant and four-time Lord Mayor of London. She also painted many socially prominent people; including Lord Dufferin in 1901.

Her works include:
Love's young dream (1883)
Elaine guarding the shield of Lancelot (1885)
Ariadne (1885)
Eurydice Sinking Back to Hades (1886)
Zephyrus and Flora (1888)
Miss Nightingale at Scutari (1854) (1891)
Psyche at the throne of Venus (1894)

The Ack Ack Handicap was a Grade III race for Thoroughbred horses run at Hollywood Park in June.

Open to horses aged three and up, the Ack Ack was set at a distance of  furlongs and offered a purse of $100,000. It was raced on dirt since its inaugural running in 2001 until 2007 after the new synthetic Cushion Track had been installed.

The race was named for the great Ack Ack, inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Horse of the Year in 1971, as well as ranking number 44 in the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century.

This race was run as a stake in 2001.

The NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index is a modified equal dollar weighted index of companies involved in gold mining. BUGS stands for Basket of Unhedged Gold Stocks. It is also referred to by its ticker symbol "HUI".

Overview
The HUI Index and Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index (XAU) are the two most watched gold indices on the market. The main difference between them is that the HUI Index takes into account only gold producer stocks whereas the XAU Index includes both gold and silver producers. The Gold BUGS Index was designed to provide significant exposure to near term movements in gold prices by including companies that do not hedge their gold production beyond 1.5 years.

The HUI Index was developed with a base value of 200.00 as of March 15, 1996. The NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index currently consists of 15 of the largest and most widely held public gold production companies. Since bottoming in late 2000, HUI went on to be the top-performing US stock sector of the decade, rising by about 1600%.

Index components

Adjustments are made quarterly after the close of trading on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December so that each component stock represents its assigned weight in the index.

HUI-gold ratio
The HUI-gold ratio is an expression which compares the relative quantities of the NYSE Gold BUGS Index and the price of gold. The ratio is calculated by dividing the value of the NYSE Gold BUGS Index by the price of gold.

Investors use the HUI-gold ratio to illustrate the ever-shifting relative strength of the gold stocks versus gold.

Natar Ungalaaq (Inuktitut syllabics: ᓇᑕᕐ ᐅᖓᓛᖅ, born 1959) is a Canadian Inuit actor, filmmaker and sculptor whose work is in many major collections of Inuit art. Before playing the lead roles in Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (2001) and The Necessities of Life (Ce qu'il faut pour vivre) (2008), Ungalaaq played major roles in other Canadian and American films, including Kabloonak (1995), Glory & Honor (1998) and Frostfire (1994). He is also a producer and director of the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation.

Ungalaaq was the carving buddy of director Zacharias Kunuk. With funds raised by selling their handmade work, they bought their first camera gear in 1981, and started a production company in an Inuit community that didn't even have a TV.

Natar is also a renowned carver. He began when he was 9 or 10 years old, using his grandfather's tools. His carving in white soapstone, "Sedna with a Hairbrush 1985", is featured in the National Gallery of Canada's collection.

In 2016, he made his debut as a director, codirecting the film Searchers with Kunuk.

Filmography

Awards
Ungalaaq was awarded the Best Actor award at the American Indian Movie Awards in 2002 for Atanarjuat. He won the Genie Award for Best Actor at the 29th Genie Awards for his role in Ce qu'il faut pour vivre. He also won the Jutra Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role and the Best Actor award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival for the same performance. In September 2009, Ungalaaq was presented with an award of distinction by the Nunavut Film Development Corporation. This award recognized Natar's body of work and his contribution to Nunavut's film community. In 2016, Ungalaaq won Best Indigenous Language Production (2016) for "Maliglutit (Searchers)" at the ImagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival.

Mayra Matos Pérez (born August 28, 1988, in San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican actress, writer, fashion model and beauty pageant titleholder who held the title of Miss Teen International 2006 and Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2009.

Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2009
Matos represented Cabo Rojo at the Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2009 pageant where she was crowned Miss Puerto Rico Universe by outgoing titleholder Ingrid Rivera with the assistance of Miss USA 2008 Crystle Stewart and Miss Dominican Republic 2008 Marianne Cruz. She also won the award for "Most Beautiful Face".

Miss Universe

Preliminary rounds
Matos wore a costume modeled after boxing gear during the national costume competition; the piece included a hooded robe, gloves and a championship belt bearing the Coat of arms of Puerto Rico. The outfit was known to the island's boxing tradition, which has produced more champions per capita than any other location in the world.

Final show
Matos represented Puerto Rico at Miss Universe 2009 on August 23, 2009, in Nassau, Bahamas. She was the first of the semifinalists to be called, breaking a two-year non-placement streak for Puerto Rico. She then advanced to the Top 10 and was one of the Top 5 finalists, along with Ada de la Cruz of the Dominican Republic, Rachel Finch of Australia, Stefanía Fernandez of Venezuela, and Marigona Dragusha of Kosovo. She eventually finished as 4th Runner-Up. The eventual winner was Stefanía Fernandez of Venezuela This was Puerto Rico's most recent Top 5 placement until 2018 when Kiara Ortega also finished in the Top 5.

Professional life
In 2013 Matos appeared in the comedy film 200 Cartas, a film about a comic book artist who travels to Puerto Rico to find a woman he met at a bar in New York City. Matos appears as Maria Sanchez, the love interest of Lin-Manuel Miranda's character Raul. The film also stars Mexican actor Jaime Camil, Puerto Rican actor and comedian Luis Raúl, and Miss Universe 1993 Dayanara Torres.
