Samuel D Zien (born August 7, 1959), known as Sam the Cooking Guy, is a Canadian-born television cook, YouTuber, restaurateur, and cookbook author, based in San Diego, California.

Television career
Zien's career in television began after quitting his job as an executive for a San Diego pharmaceutical company.  In 2001, after a poorly timed effort to begin a career in travel television which was derailed by the September 11 attacks, he switched his focus to a cooking show.  He produced his own test screening and distributed the tape to local San Diego television stations.  San Diego's then-Fox affiliate XETV-TDT offered him a two to three minute slot during its morning news program.  The job was unpaid—a situation that changed after his work earned a Regional Emmy from the National Television Academy's Pacific Southwest Chapter.

In January 2005, Zien moved to County Television Network (CTN), San Diego County's public-access television, after CTN offered him a half-hour time slot on their station. His Sam the Cooking Guy show spread to other cities through agreements with sister cable companies; his work was recognized with more Regional Emmys and a book deal from John Wiley and Sons.

Zien's next break came from the Discovery Health Channel, where Zien signed a deal to shoot the first season of a series called Just Grill This! The network was subsequently purchased by the Oprah Winfrey Network; Zien's show was not renewed for a second season.

In 2008, Zien appeared on NBC's The Today Show in a segment with Kathy Lee Gifford and Hota Kotb. After being interrupted repeatedly during the first half of the segment, Zien suddenly spoke emphatically - "Please, can I talk? I watch the show every day, everybody has issues with a lot of chatter back here. Pay attention, one minute." A clip of the segment appeared on YouTube following its airing and in days had surpassed 2,000,000 views, with most commenters applauding Sam for his firm stance in the face of the NBC hosts.

YouTube channel
On May 23, 2011, Zien premiered The Sam Livecast, an Internet cooking show originating from his home kitchen. Three new episodes per week feature food-related and other subject matters. After 200 live episodes, the production switched to a live-to-tape format.

After moving away from the live streamed format, The Sam Livecast transitioned into a YouTube channel under a different name - Sam the Cooking Guy - and experienced a surge in subscribers and views, reaching over 3 million subscribers by December 2021.

Restaurants
In July 2018, Zien opened his first restaurant - Not Not Tacos - a casual dining establishment featuring Zien's unique take on non-traditional tacos. Located within the Little Italy Food Hall in the Little Italy area of downtown San Diego, Zien serves tacos such as Korean Short Rib, Pulled Pork with Macaroni and Cheese, Seared Salmon, and Meatloaf.

In March 2020, Zien opened a second restaurant in the Little Italy Food Hall, called Graze by Sam.

In April 2021, Zien opened a third also located in the Little Italy Food Hall, called Samburgers.

In 2023, Zien opened a fourth restauarant in the Little Italy Food Hall, called CooCoo's Nest. It is a fried chicken outlet with a "70's flair."

Cookbooks
Zien has written five cookbooks. All were published by John Wiley & Sons except this most recent book was published by Countryman Press:
Just a Bunch of Recipes (2008, )
Awesome Recipes and Kitchen Shortcuts (2010, )
Just Grill This! (2011, )
Sam the Cooking Guy: Recipes with Intentional Leftovers (2020, )
Sam the Cooking Guy: Between the Buns: Burgers, Sandwiches, Tacos, Burritos, Hot Dogs & More (2022, )

Pyjs (formerly Pyjamas before May 2012), is a rich web application framework for developing client-side web and desktop applications in Python. The resulting applications can be run in a web browser or as standalone desktop applications.

It contains a stand-alone Python-to-JavaScript compiler, an Ajax framework and widget toolkit, and through use of these components, developers can write comprehensive applications, to run in all major web browsers, without writing any JavaScript. Pyjs is a port of Google Web Toolkit (GWT) from Java to Python.

Development
Using pyjs, developers can write web applications in Python instead of JavaScript. The application is compiled to JavaScript. Also included is an Ajax library and widget set that provides access to the Document Object Model (DOM) of modern JavaScript-capable web browsers. The Ajax library and the widget set library are a hybrid mix of Python and JavaScript. Just as with Google Web Toolkit, pyjs is not its libraries, and neither is it just another Ajax framework. Ajax frameworks are strictly limited to providing pre-prepared specific functionality, written almost exclusively in tailor-made JavaScript. Both GWT and pyjs, being JavaScript compilers, allow the developer to work in the language with which they are familiar (Java or Python, respectively), to write their own custom widgets, either entirely from scratch or based on the existing available widgets, yet still target the full range of modern browsers. So, far from presenting web developers with a ready-made Ajax framework, pyjs gives you the freedom to create your own.

Design
The pyjs compiler is written in the programming language Python, and uses it to compile its input into JavaScript, walking the abstract syntax tree of the program being compiled. Although the compiler is stand-alone, the primary use of pyjs is for web development, so there is additional infrastructure for building web applications.

The DOM.py model library is an abstraction layer - a thin layer of Python on top of JavaScript code snippets - use of which provides access to the full Document Object Model of the target browser platform. As with any compiler, the JavaScript snippets are treated as inline assembler.

Furthermore, on top of the DOM.py model library is an additional abstraction layer, ui.py, which provides the most useful layer to web developers: a full suite of widgets with which desktop application developers will be familiar. At present, the list of available widgets is a mixture of the complete set of widgets that were available in Google Web Toolkit 1.2, along with a few more that have been forward-ported from GWT 1.5.

Components
The major Pyjs components include:
pyjs Python-to-JavaScript Compiler
Translates the programming language Python into JavaScript.
Python builtin and standard emulation library
JavaScript implementations of the commonly used modules, builtins and classes in the Python standard runtime library (such as strings, lists, dictionaries, tuples, sets, getattr, map, filter, range, etc.; basic exception handling, a basic datetime and a basic math module).
pyjs DOM library
Modules for manipulating the browser DOM.
pyjs Web UI module
A module for creating widgets as if the web browser was a desktop widget engine.
pyjs Desktop ports
Support for running pyjs apps as pure Python, under MSHTML (Trident), Gecko (XULRunner) or WebKit. Pyjs Desktop is conceptually close to GWT "Hosted" mode, except that the applications can be deployed live, under pyjs Desktop, rather than be used exclusively as a debugging tool.

pyjs Desktop
The widget set library that comes with pyjs is so similar to PyQt and PyGTK that a port of pyjs was made to run pyjs applications on the desktop, called pyjs Desktop (formerly PyjamasDesktop before May 2012 and originally hosted separately prior to version 0.6). The project uses Webkit, XULRunner or MSHTML as the underlying technology, and it is through these browser engines that pyjs manipulates the DOM model of the application. Together pyjs and pyjs Desktop allow writing cross-platform, cross-desktop, cross-browser and cross-widget applications that run on the web and on the desktop.

The Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve was established in 1987 to protect and conserve shipwrecks and historical resources on  of Lake Superior bottomlands in Whitefish Bay and around Whitefish Point, Michigan.  The formation of the Michigan Underwater Preserves helped stop controversy over artifact removal from shipwrecks of this area.  The preserve is now known for deep, well preserved shipwrecks in clear water accessible to scuba divers with technical skill and experience.  The preserve is one of the last places in the Great Lakes to observe shipwrecks without zebra mussel encrustation.

History
Shipwrecks along the southern Lake Superior coast known as the "Graveyard of the Great Lakes" dramatically increased after the first lock on the St. Marys River opened this coastline to shipping in 1855.  Every vessel entering or leaving Lake Superior must pass Whitefish Point.  The Whitefish Point Light first established in 1849 is arguably the most important light on Lake Superior.  More vessels have been lost in the Whitefish Point area than any other part of Lake Superior. Between the loss of the Invincible in 1816 and the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975, the Whitefish Point area has claimed at least 240 ships. Vessels are funneled through Whitefish Bay downbound and upbound from the Soo Locks.  Poor visibility from forest fire smoke, snow squalls, and Lake Superior's notorious fogs had deadly consequences with the traffic congestion.  Lake Superior's  of open water and storms from the northwest can build immense seas with offshore waves of  or more.  Such a storm sank the SS Edmund Fitzgerald  from Whitefish Point in 1975.

Sport diver Harrington reported that many of the shipwrecks of the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve were "stripped of important artifacts in the 1970s and early 1980s. The State of Michigan filed a lawsuit against the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS) for illegal removal of artifacts from Great Lakes bottomlands. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) obtained a search warrant in 1992 and raided on the GLSHS's offices and  Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.  The DNR found evidence the Shipwreck Society had:

Many of the artifacts removed from shipwrecks by the GLSHS without permits are displayed at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point by a settlement agreement with the state of Michigan. The sport diving community raised a furious outcry over the disparity of special treatment for the museum divers who received no criminal prosecution while individual sport divers were prosecuted freely during the late 1980s and 1990s for removal of artifacts from shipwrecks.  To this day many sport divers boycott the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.

Preserve formation

The Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve was established in 1987 to protect some of the region's most sensitive underwater natural and cultural resources with the central objective to provide enhanced management of shipwrecks. The Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve is administered through the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Submerged Lands Program and the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries of the Michigan Historical Center.

Scuba divers and history enthusiasts now help ensure the integrity of the preserve which is considered an underwater museum.

Features

Many of the twenty-three known shipwrecks lying in depths from  to  are moored to protect the wrecks and enhance the safety of divers.
The preserve has good visibility and offers deep water diving on a variety of shipwrecks.  The preserve is one of the last places in the Great Lakes to observe shipwrecks without zebra mussel encrustation. Dry suits are recommended due to cold temperatures and unprotected coves or bays.  Most of the dive sites are deep and divers must be certain of their ability and their equipment before they attempt to dive in this preserve.

The Criminal Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 1945 (c. 15) is an Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.

Section 25 of the Act creates the offence of child destruction, which states:

This section provides a defence of acting in good faith to preserve the life of the mother. The offence supplemented the offence of abortion (under the Offences against the Person Act 1861), which deals with unborn children not capable of being born alive. The Offences against the Person Act 1861 was repealed for Northern Ireland in October 2019.

Other provisions of the Act deal with miscellaneous criminal procedure, search warrants pertaining to brothels, marital coercion, and a prohibition on the taking of photographs in court.

Duane Adler (born ) is an American screenwriter and film director best known for writing numerous dance films, including Save the Last Dance (2001) and Step Up (2006). The films grossed over $250 million each, which BroadwayWorld noted as being in the top ten all-time box office for dance films. The Baltimore Sun said, "Adler established himself as one of the go-to screenwriters for 21st-century dance movies."

Step Up became a franchise, and sequel films based on his characters grossed over $651 million worldwide. Adler also had his directorial debut with the 2013 film Make Your Move.

Background

Duane Adler was born in the US state of North Carolina around . He grew up in the suburbs of Washington, DC and in Odenton, Maryland. He went to college at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Career

Duane Adler wrote the original screenplay for the 2001 film Save the Last Dance. Paramount Pictures hired Cheryl Edwards to rewrite the screenplay, and she worked on it in the course of nine months. Paramount tentatively gave both writers their first screenplay credits, and Adler requested arbitration to claim sole screenplay credit based on his primary contribution. The first arbitration case was inconclusive due to a factual error, and a second arbitration case led to Adler receiving story credit, with both Adler and Edwards receiving screenplay credit.

Adler also wrote the film's 2006 sequel Save the Last Dance 2 and co-wrote the 2006 film Step Up with Melissa Rosenberg. In 2008, he began writing Venice Beach, a "music-driven romance" starring singer Ne-Yo, who had appeared in Save the Last Dance 2. The film did not reach production. In 2009, Adler was hired to rewrite a script for the teen dance drama Jump Around, which revolved around a team in a Double Dutch jump rope competition with the intent to direct, though the film was never produced.

Adler's directorial debut came with the 2013 film Make Your Move, which he had tried to make for over seven years. He initially sought to work with Savion Glover to make a film revolving around tap dance, but his pitch did not achieve results. He had another idea of a collaboration between an American boy and an Asian girl who were both musicians, and he sought to merge that with tap dance. After some difficulty, he was inspired by a New York-based Japanese trope named COBU that used taiko drums. Film producer Robert W. Cort supported Adler's project, and Adler wrote and directed Make Your Move.

Adler then directed the 2017 film Heartbeats, which featured an American family going to a wedding in India and shows both American and Indian styles of dancing. Following Heartbeats, the television network Fox committed to the script of Shine, a television film that involved Adler as writer and executive producer. The film was not produced. In 2019, Adler and the studio Entertainment One received a pilot commitment from the TV network ABC to produce House of the Rising Sun, featuring two feuding families with the backdrop being a New Orleans nightclub.

Gerald Michael Scala (September 27, 1924 – December 14, 1993) was a Major League Baseball outfielder who played from 1948 to 1950 for the Chicago White Sox.

Originally signed by the New York Yankees in 1942, Scala was sent from the Yankees to the New York Giants in an unknown transaction before the 1946 season. Before the 1947 season, he was acquired by the Chicago White Sox.

After a successful minor league season in 1947 in which he led the Three-I League in both hits (163) and runs (116) while playing for the Waterloo White Hawks, he was on a fast track to the big leagues. On April 22, 1948, he made his big league debut. In three games for the White Sox that season, he collected no hits in six at-bats. He played in 37 games in 1949, hitting .250 with one home run and 13 RBI in 120 at-bats. On June 2 of that year, he was involved in an interesting trade between the minor league team the Oakland Oaks and the White Sox. Excerpted from Baseball-Reference.com: "Traded by the Chicago White Sox with a player to be named later and cash to the Oakland (PCL) for a player to be named later and Catfish Metkovich. The Oakland (PCL) sent Jerry Scala (June 11, 1949) to the Chicago White Sox to complete the trade. The Chicago White Sox sent Earl Rapp (June 11, 1949) to the Oakland (PCL) to complete the trade."

Scala played his final big league season in 1950. In 67 at-bats, he hit .194. His final game was September 26.

Overall, he hit .223 with one home run and 19 RBI in 80 big league games. In 193 at-bats, he had 26 runs, 43 hits, nine doubles and two triples. He also had three stolen bases, 27 walks and 32 strikeouts.

After he died, he was buried in Lorraine Park Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland.

Papyrus 91 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designed by 𝔓91, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Acts of Apostles. The surviving texts of Acts are verses 2:30-37; 2:46-3:2. The manuscript paleographically has been assigned to the middle of the 3rd century.

Text
The Greek text of this manuscript is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, Comfort ascribed it as proto-Alexandrian, though the extant portion is too fragmentary for certainty. It has not been placed yet in Aland's Categories of New Testament manuscripts.

Location
The larger portion of 𝔓91 is housed at the Instituto di Papyrologia (P. Mil. Vofl. Inv. 1224) at the Universita Degli Studi di Milano. The smaller portion is housed at the Ancient History Documentary Research Centre at Macquarie University (Inv. 360) in Sydney.

Textual Variants

 2:31: omits  (of the Christ/Messiah ( being a Nomina Sacra)).
 2:32: According to the reconstruction of Philip Comfort and David Barrett, omits  (are).

 2:33: The scribe misspells  (you hear) as  (he heard) due to  and  being pronounced similarly when spoken.
 2:36: The scribe misspells  (Israel) as .
 2:36:  (and) is omitted from after  (because/that).
 2:36: Swaps  (Master him and Christ/Messiah (Nomina Sacra)) to  ] (Christ/Messiah him and Master (Nomina Sacra))

N2O, subtitled as Nitrous Oxide in North America, is a 1998 tube shooter for the PlayStation, featuring a soundtrack composed by the American electronic music duo The Crystal Method. The soundtrack was heavily used to promote the game, and the music is stored in Red Book format meaning the game disc can be played as a music CD on an ordinary CD player.

Plot
In the deep future, the Galaxy is at war. On planet Neptune, forces of evil in a tubular shaped circuit known as "The Torus" are creating gigantic mutated insects with the intent to invade and destroy Earth. Nitrous Oxide is a by-product of the insects incubation, and also serves as a high-octane fuel for the player's Tunnel Runner ship. The Tunnel Runner must eradicate the rapidly mutating insects before they become strong enough to invade Earth.

Gameplay
N2O is a tube shooter in which the player shoots insects while collecting "E" coins, mushroom shields, and other psychedelically-themed weapon power-ups. As more insects are shot, the game increases speed. Players can collect more points by killing enemies in certain ways (such as shooting centipedes in the head) and by shooting the coins which appear when an enemy is killed to increase its value. Coins can be used to purchase shields, firewall powerups, and points at the end of each level. Besides the single player mode, N2O features a cooperative multiplayer mode with a shared screen or a split screen.

Development
Producer Peter Dalton said that "We set out to create a game where the gameplay was simple on one level but completely absorbing and addictive on another."

The soundtrack was not added until the end of development, since publisher Fox Interactive wanted to sign a high profile techno band for the game's music.

Reception

The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Next Generation said, "shooter fans who thrive on the ability to top their last high score time and time again won't be disappointed by this high energy blast-a-thon." The New York Times praised N2O for its aesthetics and smoothly seamless but fast-paced gameplay. They said that the game is similar in presentation to a Crystal Method concert and that the game is best played at high volume and in total darkness to maximize the audiovisual experience, and further remarked that the superior audio capacities of televisions (especially those attached to home theater systems) over typical computer systems is one of the advantages to restricting the game to the console market and not releasing it as a PC game. GamePro said, "In the end, N20 is definitely worth the price of admission, and is a great shooter for your library."

The game shipped more than 100,000 units worldwide.

Ports and re-releases
N2O was re-released for PlayStation Network by Urbanscan in PAL regions on January 10, 2008, and by Sony Interactive Entertainment in North America on June 1, 2010; and Latin America on August 13, 2013. Console Classics released the game under license of Urbanscan for Microsoft Windows via Steam on June 29, 2015, emulated through PCSXR.

The Netherlands were present at the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, held in Bergen, Norway, after opting out of the previous year's contest in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Before Eurovision

Nationaal Songfestival 1986
The Dutch national final to select their entry was held on 1 April 1986 at the Theater De Flint in Amersfoort, and was hosted by the pianist and television host Pim Jacobs. Twelve regional juries across the Netherlands selected the winning song.

The winning entry was "Alles heeft een ritme", performed by the teenage girl group Frizzle Sizzle. The song was composed by Peter Schön and Rob ten Bokum, and the lyrics were written by Schön.

At Eurovision
Frizzle Sizzle performed seventh on the night of the contest, following Iceland and preceding Turkey. By the time the song got to Bergen, it was simply credited as "Alles heeft ritme".

At the close of the voting the song had received 40 points, placing 13th in a field of 20 competing countries. This placing was identical to the previous time the Netherlands had competed in Eurovision, in 1984.

The Dutch conductor at the contest was Harry van Hoof.

William Creed Wampler Jr. (born September 9, 1959) is an American politician. A Republican, he was a member of the Senate of Virginia from 1988 to 2011. He represented the 40th district in the southwest corner of the state, which included Dickenson, Lee, Scott and Wise Counties and parts of Washington County, along with the cities of Bristol and Norton.

Early and family life
Wampler was a child of former U.S. Representative William Creed Wampler, Sr. and his first wife, Mary Elizabeth Wampler. He was educated in the local public schools, then at the University of Tennessee across the state line. Wampler received a B.A. degree in political science (as had his father from Virginia Tech years earlier) and joined the U.S. Army reserves, where he rose to the rank of Major in the 80th Branch (ARMOR).

Career
Senator Wampler sells insurance and is active in his local Episcopal Church, as well as the Jaycees and the Appalachian Independence Center.

Wampler was elected to the Virginia Senate to represent his native Bristol and adjacent counties in 1987. The district was numbered the 39th Senatorial district. It was renumbered as the 40th before the 1991 election. He defeated Democrat J. Jack Kennedy Jr. in 1991 by winning 52% of the vote, and ran unopposed for re-election in 1995, 1999, 2003 and 2007 before announcing that he would not seek re-election in 2011. Before retiring from the Virginia Senate, Wampler often served on the Senate Finance Committee and on the Budget Conference Committee.

He has also served on the Executive Committee of the Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission. He was succeeded in the Senate by Republican Charles William Carrico.

Wampler's father, William C. Wampler Sr., was a member of the United States House of Representatives. His son, Will Wampler III, was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 2019.

FC Dynamo Kharkiv () was the non-amateur Soviet football club based in Kharkiv (now Ukraine).

History

Shturm Kharkiv
The club was originally found in 1911 by 20 year old Kostiantyn Voronin as FC Tsap-Tsarap Kharkov. During that time in Kharkiv took place the first regional and city championship that was won by FC Feniks Kharkov. The club Tsap-Tsarap however has officially registered only in 1912 as FC Shturm Kharkov and its first chairman became Ya.Zhuga. On 19 March 1912 there took place a constituent assembly of the Kharkov City League which was initially headed by M.Mayevsky (a player of FC Mayak Kharkov). The same year the league joined the Russian Football Union, while its collective team participated in the first championship of Russia. After the Russian Civil War the captain's armband Voronin passed on to a younger player Mykola Krotov.

In 1925 – 1926 RabIs Kharkiv, a Russian portmanteau that stands for Rabotniki Iskustv (Workers of Art), the team was part of the local art workers trade union.

Dynamo Kharkiv
Established back in the beginning of 1920s as part of sports department of Russian GPU (formerly Cheka), information about it was not publicly disclosed to avoid disclosing the GPU's internal affairs. In 1921 in center of Kharkiv the GPU club opened its doors on vulytsia Sovnarkomivska, 13, which had its own sports ground "Dynamo". Previously the house belonged to the Alchevsky family (Khrystyna Alchevska) which in its private garden had a bust of Taras Shevchenko. It was built by Ukrainian and Soviet architect Oleksiy Beketov, the Alchevsky family son-in-law, for Alchevsky family. Following the death of Oleksiy Alchevsky in 1901, Khrystyna sold it to active state councilor M.Shabelsky. After establishing of the Soviet regime, the property was confiscated and turned the garden into an athletic zone with volleyball and handball courts, gymnastic village, a pit for jumps, running track, showers. At the ground level story of the club small halls were turned into powerlifting and wrestling rooms. The neighboring two story building until 1928 housed the Soviet of People's Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR (Soviet government of Ukraine) and its staff also enjoyed using the GPU sports grounds. Around that in the city's park (today Park of Maxim Gorky) started to work the Dynamo sky sports base with a 25-meter shooting range.

The Dynamo's first football and handball teams debuted in city competitions in 1925, but consisted exclusively out of members of law enforcement only. The most notable among them were the Soviet national football team defender Kostiantyn Fomin who worked in GPU (Ukrainian OGPU before merger) and the Ukraine national football team (Ukrainian SSR) forward Mykola Kazakov who was a criminal investigation official. Nonetheless, a lack of own playing field notably was restricting possibilities of footballers.

On 26 April 1926 at the GPU club took place a board elections of the first in Ukraine and capital at that time Kharkiv proletarian sports society "Dynamo". For functionaries of the proletarian sports society was allocated a room in the GPU club and they right away launched their operations. However, constituent documents of the sports society and its statute were finally confirmed by the chairman of GPU Vsevolod Balitsky only in October of the same year.

In the neighboring Russian SFSR, where Dynamo was established earlier in 1923, the great boost in its development provided the newly acquired famous footballers. The same practice was adopted by the Kharkiv's Dynamo which was the central Dynamo sports society in Ukraine until 1934. In fall of 1926 Dynamo Kharkiv invited practically all footballers the RabIs team (Workers of Art Trade Union) formed out of former Shturm Kharkiv and struggled financially and the Kharkiv city football team that won the first Soviet football championship in 1924 consisting of such midfielders of the Soviet national football team like Ivan Privalov and Volodymyr Fomin, national team goalie Roman Norov, bright forwards Oleksandr Shpakovskyi and Petro Mishchenko who played in the very first composed Soviet national football team as well as their colleagues of the Kharkiv city football team Yevhen Gubarev and Valentyn Levin. They were later joined by defender Ivan Kladko, forward Ivan Vladimirsky and midfielder Oleksandr Misevra who also was playing an ice hockey. Dynamo was created in 1926 based on the best Kharkiv clubs FC Shturm Kharkiv and Society of Sports Amateurs (Obschestvo Liubitelei Sporta, OLS).

In 1936 it initially was allowed to play in the Soviet Second League known as Class B. The team had forfeited all its games for the spring part and was demoted to the third division Class V (by Russian alphabet) for the autumn of 1936 and 1937 editions. The team was not included in the Soviet Super League of 1938, but returned into the reestablished Class B the next couple of seasons before the German-Soviet War. It was merged with FC Silmash Kharkiv and renamed as Spartak for the 1941 season. Following World War II, the club has never resumed its operations as the city was able only to afford one team, FC Lokomotyv Kharkiv.

Microsoft Small Basic is a programming language, interpreter and associated IDE. Microsoft's simplified variant of BASIC, it is designed to help students who have learnt visual programming languages such as Scratch learn text-based programming. The associated IDE provides a simplified programming environment with functionality such as syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, and in-editor documentation access. The language has only 14 keywords.

History

Microsoft announced Small Basic in October 2008, and released the first stable version for distribution on July 12, 2011, on a Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website, together with a teaching curriculum and an introductory guide. Between announcement and stable release, a number of Community Technology Preview (CTP) releases were made.

On March 27, 2015, Microsoft released Small Basic version 1.1, which fixed a bug and upgraded the targeted .NET Framework version from version 3.5 to version 4.5, making it the first version incompatible with Windows XP.

Microsoft released Small Basic version 1.2 on October 1, 2015. Version 1.2 was the first update after a four-year hiatus to introduce new features to Small Basic. The update added classes for working with Microsoft's Kinect motion sensors, increased the number of languages supported by the included Dictionary object, and fixed a number of bugs.

On February 19, 2019, Microsoft announced Small Basic Online (SBO). It is open source software released under MIT License on GitHub.

On January 2021, a community member started evolving Small Basic by adding a form designer and a mini Win Forms library with some new syntax features, and released its it under the name Small Visual Basic in Jul 28, 2021.

Language
In Small Basic, one writes the illustrative "Hello, World!" program as follows:
TextWindow.WriteLine("Hello, World!")

Microsoft Small Basic is Turing complete. It supports conditional branching, loop structures, and subroutines for event handling.  Variables are weakly typed and dynamic with no scoping rules.

Conditional branching
The following example demonstrates conditional branching. It ask the user for Celsius or Fahrenheit and then comments on the answer in the appropriate temperature unit.
' A Program that gives advice at a requested temperature.
TextWindow.WriteLine("Do you use 'C'elsius or 'F'ahrenheit for temperature?")
TextWindow.WriteLine("Enter C for Celsius and F for Fahrenheit:")
question_temp: ' Label to jump back to input if wrong input was given
tempunit = TextWindow.Read()
' Temperature Definitions in Celsius:
tempArray["hot"] = 30     ' 30 °C equals 86 °F
tempArray["pretty"] = 20  ' 20 °C equals 68 °F
tempArray["cold"]= 15     ' 15 °C equals 59 °F

If tempunit = "C" OR tempunit = "c" Then
  TextWindow.WriteLine("Celsius selected!")
  tempunit = "C" ' Could be lowercase, thus make it uppercase
ElseIf tempunit = "F" OR tempunit = "f" Then
  TextWindow.WriteLine("Fahrenheit selected!")
  ' We calculate the temperature values for Fahrenheit based on the Celsius values
  tempArray["hot"] = ((tempArray["hot"] * 9)/5) + 32
  tempArray["pretty"] = ((tempArray["pretty"] * 9)/5) + 32
  tempArray["cold"] = ((tempArray["cold"] * 9)/5) + 32
  tempunit = "F" ' Could be lowercase, thus make it uppercase
Else
  GOTO question_temp ' Wrong input, jump back to label "question_temp"
EndIf
TextWindow.Write("Enter the temperature today (in " + tempunit +"): ")
temp = TextWindow.ReadNumber()
If temp >= tempArray["hot"] Then
  TextWindow.WriteLine("It is pretty hot.")
ElseIf temp >= tempArray["pretty"] Then
  TextWindow.WriteLine("It is pretty nice.")
ElseIf temp >= tempArray["cold"] Then
  TextWindow.WriteLine("Don't forget your coat.")
Else
  TextWindow.WriteLine("Stay home.")
EndIf

Small Basic does not support an inline If statement as does Visual Basic, for example: If temp > 50 Then TextWindow.WriteLine("It is pretty nice.")

Looping
This example demonstrates a loop. Starting from one and ending with ten, it multiplies each number by four and displays the result of the multiplication.
TextWindow.WriteLine("Multiplication Tables")
For i = 1 To 10
  TextWindow.Write(i * 4)
EndForWhile loops are also supported, and the demonstrated For loop can be augmented through the use of the Step keyword. The Step keyword is used in setting the value by which the counter variable, i, is incremented each iteration.

Data types
Small Basic supports basic data types, like strings, integers and decimals, and will readily convert one type to another as required by the situation. In the example, both the Read and ReadNumber methods read a string from the command line, but ReadNumber rejects any non-numeric characters. This allows the string to be converted to a numeric type and treated as a number rather than a string by the + operator.TextWindow.WriteLine("Enter your name: ")
name = TextWindow.Read()

TextWindow.Write("Enter your age: ")
age = TextWindow.ReadNumber()

TextWindow.WriteLine("Hello, " + name + "!")
TextWindow.WriteLine("In 5 years, you shall be " + ( age + 5 ) + " years old!")

As Small Basic will readily convert among data types, numbers can be manipulated as strings and numeric strings as numbers. This is demonstrated through the second example.
TextWindow.WriteLine(Math.log("100")) 'Prints 2
TextWindow.WriteLine("100" + "3000") ' Prints 3100
TextWindow.WriteLine("Windows " + 8) ' Prints Windows 8
TextWindow.WriteLine(Text.GetLength(1023.42)) ' Prints 7 (length of decimal representation including decimal point)
In the second example, both strings are treated as numbers and added together, producing the output 3100. To concatenate the two values, producing the output 1003000, it is necessary to use the Text.Append(text1, text2) method.

Libraries

Standard library
The Small Basic standard library includes basic classes for mathematics, string handling, and input/output, as well as more exotic classes that are intended to make using the language more fun for learners. Examples of these include a Turtle graphics class, a class for retrieving photos from Flickr, and classes for interacting with Microsoft Kinect sensors.

To make the classes easier to use for learners, they have been simplified. This simplification is demonstrated through the code used to retrieve a random mountain-themed image from Flickr:

For i = 1 To 10
  pic = Flickr.GetRandomPicture("mountains")
  Desktop.SetWallPaper(pic)
  Program.Delay(10000)
EndFor

Turtle graphics
Small Basic includes a "Turtle" graphics library that borrows from the Logo family of programming languages. For example, to draw a square using the turtle, the turtle is moved forward by a given number of pixels and rotated 90 degrees in a given direction. This action is then repeated four times to draw the four sides of the square.

For i = 1 to 4
  Turtle.Move(100) ' Forward 100 pixels
  Turtle.Turn(90) ' Turn 90 degrees right
EndFor

More complex drawings are possible by altering the turning angle of the turtle and the number of iterations of the loop. For example, one can draw a hexagon by setting the turn angle to 60 degrees and the number of iterations to six.

Third-party libraries
Small Basic allows the use of third-party libraries. These libraries must be written in a CLR-compatible language, and the compiled binaries must target a compatible .NET Framework version. The classes provided by the library are required to be static, flagged with a specific attribute, and must use a specific data type.

An example of a class to be used in Small Basic is provided below, written in C#.

[SmallBasicType]
public static class ExampleClass
{
    public static Primitive Add(Primitive A, Primitive B) => A + B;

    public static Primitive SomeProperty
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public static Primitive Pi => (Primitive)3.14159;
}

If available, the Small Basic development environment will display documentation for third-party libraries. The development environment accepts documentation in the form of an XML file, which can be automatically generated from source code comments by tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio and MonoDevelop.

Tel Faher (or Golani Lookout) is a former Syrian outpost in the Golan Heights that has been occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War in 1967.

Tel Faher was the site of an intense battle between the Israel Defense Forces and the Syrians which ended in the conquest of the outpost by the Golani Brigade. Tel Faher is now a park commemorating those who died in the battle.

Preface

The Israel-Syria front remained relatively quiet during the first four days of the Six-Day War, despite the fact that Syria's air force had been destroyed on the first day. Two Syrian artillery battalions with M46 Soviet 130mm guns and two companies with heavy mortars and dug-in German World War II Panzer IV tanks were positioned along the Golan escarpment.

Israel suffered the loss of 2 civilians and 16 more wounded. The Syrian army also hit 205 houses, 2 tractor sheds, 6 barns, 30 tractors, 15 cars and 9 chicken coops in the first four days.

Tuesday, June 6, 1967 (day 2)
On June 6, Syria launched three attacks against Israeli positions: at Tel Dan, Kibbutz Dan and the village of She'ar Yashuv two kilometers inside Israeli territory. The attacks probably never had the purpose of capturing ground and were easily repulsed. However, a Syrian artillery observation officer reported "The enemy appears to have suffered heavy losses and is retreating."

Despite the few casualties, the kibbutzniks (kibbutz members) had been forced to live almost permanently in underground shelters. The pressure on the Israeli government grew daily. The daily newspaper HaAretz wrote "The time has come to settle accounts with those who started it all. It is time to finish the job."
While Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, himself a kibbutznik from Degania Bet, was highly sympathetic to the pleas, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan was reluctant to open multiple fronts at the same time and worried about possible Russian intervention on behalf of the Syrians. Haim Ber, the spokesman of the settlements in the north, called Eshkol and shouted in desperation "We're being shelled non-stop! We demand that the government free us from this nightmare!"

Thursday, June 8, 1967 (day 4)
On June 8, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) bombarded the Syrian positions on the Golan Heights throughout the day in an attempt to silence the Syrian guns and to press the Syrian government to rethink its position as Egypt and Jordan had now agreed to a cease fire.

It seemed the war was over after four days.

At 1910 hrs on Thursday evening, Eshkol tried once more to overcome Dayan's objections.

Friday, June 9, 1967 (day 5)

At 0600 hrs on Friday, June 9, Brig. Gen. Dado Elazar of the Northern Command was woken up by a phone call from Dayan: "Can you attack? Then attack." Dayan had changed his mind. He told his chief of staff, "If the Syrians sit quietly, I won't approve any action against them, but if in spite of all our restraint they continue shelling, I will recommend to the Cabinet that we take the entire Heights." Operation Hammer had been planned as a night attack. It was dangerous enough even in darkness, but an assault on the Golan Heights during daylight would be suicidal. The offensive was planned for 1130 hrs to give the IAF enough of time to continue its bombardment and to give the Israeli combat engineers time to create a path through enemy mine fields. Fortunately the winter rains had exposed many of the mines and the Syrians had not replaced them. The IAF was dropping some 400 tons of ordnance on the Heights from Mount Hermon in the north to Tawfiq (near Hamat Gader) in the south, including some captured rockets from Egyptian stocks.

Contrary to Syrian expectations, the IDF was not planning to launch the initial attack via the Customs House road (opposite Gadot), but where the enemy least expected it, in a large pincer movement: in the north from the Galilee Panhandle, and on the opposite side from south of the Sea of Galilee.

The 8th Armored Brigade of Colonel Albert Mandler was moved from the Sinai theatre to Kfar Szold in the northern part of the Galilee Panhandle. It had only 33 serviceable M50 and M51 Sherman tanks. Within minutes, the Syrian guns opened fire, not against the advancing troops, but still to the Israeli settlements. Of the eight armored bulldozers five never made it to the top. The Syrians started to confront them with heavy fire.

First breakthrough

A breakthrough was achieved between Givat HaEm and Tel Azaziat. Soon the tanks overran the abandoned Syrian position at Gur el Askar, shortly afterwards the strongpoint at Na'amush, while the Syrians were fleeing from the post.

Three hours after the 8th Armored Brigade began the offensive, the 1st Golani Infantry Brigade crossed the border at the same place to launch the assault on the entrenchments of Tel Faher and Tel Azaziat.

The attack on Tel Faher was difficult while the capture of Tel Azaziat was done relatively easy. The horseshoe-shaped fort was two kilometers inside the Golan Heights, protected with multiple guns, extensive mine fields and three belts of two-sided sloping fences and coiled barbed-wire. Despite the artillery bombardments the position remained relatively intact.

The leading officer found the planned climb to the rear of Tel Faher to be impassable and the battalion commander decided to continue northward. They approached the position where it was strongest instead from the rear. From a few hundred meters they came under heavy fire from Syrian tanks. Three out of nine Sherman tanks and seven out of 20 half-tracks disabled by gunfire.

The internal Syrian army report showed failure in leadership, leading to chaos and desertion:

With the enemy just 700 meters away, under heavy shelling, the platoon in the front trench prepared for the battle. The platoon commander sent Private Jalil 'Issa to the company commander to request permission to take cover, but 'Issa could not find him. The platoon commander sent another runner who returned with Private Fajjar Hamdu Karnazi who reported on the company commander's disappearance. When the enemy reached 600 meters, Sgt. Muhammad Yusuf Ibrahim fired a 10-inch anti-tank gun and knocked out the lead tank. But then he and his squad commander were killed. The enemy column advanced. First Sergeant Anwar Barbar, in charge of the second 10-inch gun, could not be found. The platoon commander searched for him but unsuccessfully.... Private Hajj al-Din, who was killed just minutes later, took the gun and fired it alone, knocking out two tanks and forcing the column to retreat. But when the platoon commander tried to radio the information to headquarters, nobody answered.

The First Platoon Attack

The battalion commander and the leading company with only 25 soldiers that were now separated from the rest of the battalion arrived at Tel Faher. Battalion commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Moshe "Musa" Klein, ordered the 25 Golanis, who survived the initial Syrian fire, to attack the position from two flanks.

Both the southern part and the northern were heavy protected with bunkers, trenches and a double row of wire. Inside waited a company of the Syrian 187th Infantry Battalion with an arsenal of anti tank guns, machine guns and 82 mm mortars. Its Syrian captain remembered : "It was one of our most fortified positions. It placed the Israelis directly in our crosshairs."

The Syrian commander of the northern part ordered his men not to fire until the Israelis reached the wire to catch them in a kill zone. Only minutes later, his deputy reported that "the Jews are already inside."

The battle continued for more than three hours. Of the group of 11 who fought on the southern part, 3 Israeli soldiers survived. Of the northern group of 10, only Corporal Yitzhak Hamawi survived.

"We ran, Musa (Klein) and I through the trenches. Whenever a helmet popped up, we couldn't tell it was one of ours or not. Suddenly in front of us stood a soldier whom we couldn't identify. The battalion commander shouted the password and when the soldier didn't answer, he fired a burst at him but missed. We jumped out of the trench, ran five meters and then Musa fell on his face... killed by the Syrian soldier he'd missed. Our radioman waited for him to leap up again, then shot him."

Company B takes Burg Babil
When the other surviving forces of the battalion reached under Tel Faher, the operation officer commanded Company B to take Burg-Babil a Syrian platoon post between Tel Faher and Tel Azaziat. The Syrians didn't resist and Company B returned to help the fighting in Tel Faher.

Of the 260 Israeli soldiers that fought at Tel Faher, 34 were killed and 113 were wounded  while 62 Syrians died and 20 were taken prisoner.

Aftermath
The IDF had achieved most of its goals of Operation Hammer even with heavy casualties. They penetrated no deeper than 8 miles into Syrian territory, but established a five mile wide bridgehead between Zaura and Qela. They used the night of 9/10 June to regroup and resupply its forces.

At the same time the Syrian Government was pleading with other Arab countries for military support, but no assistance was forthcoming. Syria realized that they now stood alone against the IDF.

The Golan Heights had fallen in just 31 hours.

Medals of valor
The following Israeli soldiers were decorated in April 1973 with a medal of valor.

David Shirazi (posthumously)
Private David Shirazi was part of the assault team that had to climb up the 100m rigged slope under heavy Syrian mortar and machine gun fire to reach the barbed wire fence. Wire cutters would have taken too long. He lay himself across the wire and told his comrades to use his body as a bridge.
After the last one got through he untangled himself and ran after them into the Syrian position. When the machine gunner fell wounded, he took his weapon and continued the attack until he was killed some minutes later.

Moshe Drimmer (posthumously)
Private Moshe Drimmer belonged to a group of nine combat soldiers who had to clear the path of mines for the tanks. A few hundred meters from Tel Faher he came under heavy fire. His half-track was hit and burst into flames. Nevertheless, he turned the machine gun inside the burning vehicle towards  the Syrian position and gave covering fire to his comrades. He continued firing until his vehicle was hit again and exploded.

Natanel Horovitz
Lieutenant Natanel Horovitz was the commander of one of the three tanks that reached Qela. His commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Arye Biro, was badly wounded by splinters but continued to lead until he collapsed and had to be evacuated.
He sent Natanel Horovitz to take the lead. Horovitz' company raced through the relatively weak outpost of Gur el Askar, continued towards Na'amush. There he should have been united with another company to storm Na'amush, but due to delays, he continued on his own. He successfully passed the Ukda position. Suddenly he realized that he was storming Sir Adib, which he had been trying to avoid. But he was fully engaged and had no other choice than continue his assault.
Captain Yuval Ben-Arzi tried to contact Horovitz to tell him to storm Qela, but couldn't reach him, because the hatch was hit and wounded him in the head. His blood had shorted the radio intercom in his helmet. The second in command, Major Rafael Mokady was dead and several other officers dead or wounded, the battle group was at a crisis point. Only the wounded Lt. Horovitz was still advancing. In the end, he entered the enemy stronghold with just two other tanks and captured the position.
Later he rose to a senior rank in the IDF.

Shaul Vardi
Sergeant Shaul Vardi was one of the tank commanders that stormed Qela. On the way to Qela he had destroyed several fortified Syrian positions. But when his tank was hit, he got wounded in the face and was unable to see for a while. When he recovered his sight, he continued to fight. His tank was hit for a second time and this time knocked out. Armed with only Uzi SMGs and hand grenades, he and his men continued to clear Syrian positions. Only after the objective was achieved did he allow himself to be evacuated to hospital.

Today

Many of the trenches and bunkers of Tel Faher are in the same condition as they were on capture. It was the 1st Golani Brigade that captured the pivotal position at a cost in casualties. The place is now called Mitzpe Golani or Golani Lookout.

The Cabiri, a Seattle-based non-profit physical theater troupe, was founded in 1999 by Artistic Director John S. Murphy.  In 2001, the troupe became legally incorporated (under the organization The Anunnaki Project) and obtained 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. The mission of The Cabiri and The Anunnaki Project is to preserve the mythologies of cultures that have passed into antiquity, utilizing theatrical, storytelling dance performances, educational presentations, and a free online encyclopedia of terms from folklore and mythology.

Since its inception, the troupe has utilized a variety of mediums to present "performative mythology," theatrical depictions of tales from folklore and mythology. Tales from Babylonian mythology, Celtic mythology, Chinese mythology, Greek mythology, Italian folklore, Japanese mythology, Romanian folklore, Russian mythology, Sumerian mythology, and other mythos have been utilized in past productions.

The Cabiri's early work consisted primarily of street theater and performance art including fire dancing, stilt walking, and juggling. In 2001 the company began incorporating aerial dance on low-flying trapeze, aerial sling, aerial hoop (lyra), and other apparatus. Aerial dance has since become the primary performance focus of the troupe.

In 2006, the organization expanded its activities to include aerial dance instruction for adults.

The troupe draws from accredited academic resources that have undergone peer review when creating new work, and strives to educate the public about folklore and mythology via its theatrical productions. The organization's work has been presented to thousands of audience members throughout North America in the last decade and has been featured in a variety of media and arts-related publications.

Old Money is the eighth  studio album by American guitarist and composer Omar Rodríguez-López, his first with Stones Throw Records who released CD and MP3 versions on November 10, 2008 and a vinyl version in February 2009. Rodríguez-López explained that the album is "loosely based on the concept of exploitative industrialists and, well, their old money."

Rodriguez-Lopez has hinted that this record was a thematic sequel to the 2006 album Amputechture by his band The Mars Volta.

Review aggregate site Metacritic calculates a score of 70/100 for the album, but erroneously referred to it as "The debut album for the Mars Volta guitarist".

In the song "I Like Rockefellers' First Two Albums, But After That...", there is a dialog from the movie El Topo, from Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky.

In 2010 JSC "Aeroflot - Russian Airlines" and "Kenya Airways' commercial agreement on joint operation of the route Moscow - Dubai - Nairobi, and Aeroflot was scheduled to perform passenger and cargo transportation on the route Moscow - Nairobi - Moscow.

Education
As of 2008, the Russian government and private companies have trained approximately 200 people. In addition, Russia annually grants Kenya 30 scholarships from the federal budget. The number dropped to 26 in 2010, because of organisational difficulties with the Kenyan side.

Diplomatic missions

Bagworth and Ellistown was a railway station on the Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line, that served the villages of Bagworth and Ellistown in Leicestershire. It was opened by the Midland Railway in 1849 and closed by British Railways in 1964. It was at Bagworth on what is now the B585 road.

History
The Leicester and Swannington Railway had previously opened a Bagworth station in 1832. The Midland Railway took over the line in 1845 and made a number of improvements, including replacing the original Bagworth station with a new one on 1 August 1849. The Ellis family created the colliery and village of Ellistown in 1873 and the Midland renamed the station Bagworth and Ellistown on 1 October 1894.

The Midland Railway became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway under the Grouping of 1923. The Leicester to Burton line became part of the London Midland Region of British Railways under the transport nationalisation of 1948. British Railways closed the station to passenger traffic on 7 September 1964.

Reopening proposals
In the 1990s BR planned to restore passenger services to the Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line as the second phase of its Ivanhoe Line project. However, after the privatisation of British Rail in 1995 this phase of the project was discontinued. In 2009 the Association of Train Operating Companies published a £49 million proposal (Connecting Communities: Expanding Access to the Rail Network) to restore passenger services to the line that would include reopening a station at Bagworth.

Correlated double sampling (CDS) is a method to measure electrical values such as voltages or currents that allows removing an undesired offset. It is often used when measuring sensor outputs. The output of the sensor is measured twice: once in a known condition and once in an unknown condition. The value measured from the known condition is then subtracted from the unknown condition to generate a value with a known relation to the physical quantity being measured.

This is commonly used in switched-capacitor operational amplifiers to effectively double the gain of the charge sharing opamp, while adding an extra phase.

When used in imagers, correlated double sampling is a noise reduction technique in which the reference voltage of the pixel (i.e., the pixel’s voltage after it is reset) is subtracted from the signal voltage of the pixel (i.e., the pixel’s voltage at the end of integration) at the end of each integration period, to cancel kTC noise (the thermal noise associated with the sensor's capacitance).
