Pontia edusa, the eastern Bath white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae.

Description

Pontia edusa is a small to medium-sized migrant butterfly, with a wingspan reaching about 45 mm. The upperside of the wings is white, with black stains on the top of the forewing and hindwing. The hindwing undersides have greenish-grey spots. The butterfly is nearly identical to Pontia daplidice. Investigations of the genitals are the only way to distinguish between these two types.

The adults fly from March to October with two to four generations depending on the latitude. The eggs are laid singly and have an incubation period of seven days. The caterpillars are present from May. They are greyish-greenish, with black dots and broad yellow stripes, quite similar to the larva of the cabbage butterfly (Pieris brassicae). The larvae feed on Resedaceae species. Pontia edusa hibernates in the chrysalis stage.

Distribution
It is found from the south east of Europe (southern France, Italy, Corsica, Sardinia) up to central Europe and the Middle East in Iran and Iraq. It is a migrant which can also be encountered in Belgium, Holland, northern Germany and Poland, in the Baltic states and in southern Sweden and Norway.

Habitat
This species can be found in any open grassy or flowery areas, in stony or rocky places and in roadsides, especially where the host plants grow, at an altitude of .

Cyclazodone is a centrally acting stimulant drug developed by American Cyanamid Company in the 1960s. The drug is related to other drugs such as pemoline and thozalinone. It displayed a favorable therapeutic index and margin of safety in comparison to Pemoline and other N-lower-alkyl-substituted Pemoline derivatives. The patents concluded that Cyclazodone possessed properties efficacious in reducing fatigue and as a potential anorectic. Structural congeners of Pemoline have been described as "excitants with unique properties distinguishing them from the sympathomimetic amines" whilst displaying less stimulatory activity and toxicity compared to amphetamine.

It is included under the World Anti-Doping Agency prohibited list.

Safety
Cyclazodone has not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use in humans as a nootropic, anorectic, or stimulant and thus safety information on Cyclazodone is lacking.  However, in studies relating to the therapeutic uses of Cyclazodone, it was noted that Cyclazodone exhibited less cardiotoxic and hepatotoxic effects than D-Amphetamine in studies on mice.

Heinrich von Littrow (26 January 1820 in Vienna – 25 April 1895 in Abbazia, today Opatija, Croatia) was an Austrian cartographer and writer, and a convinced advocate of the universalist mission of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

Life
Heinrich von Littrow was a son of the astronomer Joseph Johann von Littrow, ennobled in 1836, and his wife Karoline von Ulrichsthal. Among his twelve brothers, Karl Ludwig von Littrow was a prominent astronomer. His daughter Lea von Littrow became a noted Fiuman painter.

After graduating from high school, von Littrow came to the Fiume Naval Academy as a cadet. In addition to his theoretical training, he also served on various imperial warships.

In 1840 he finished his training there as the best of his year and therefore he was sent to the University Observatory in Vienna for further studies - "higher astronomy". There he was a student of his father for some time and, after his unexpected death in 1841, also a student of his brother Karl Ludwig.

In 1845 von Littrow was appointed professor for stylistics and as a supplement (assistant teacher) for mathematics and nautical science at the academy in Fiume. There he soon made friends with his colleague, the writer Heinrich Wilhelm Stieglitz. The political events led to the transfer of Littrows to Trieste and he was also involved as an officer in the blockade of Venice. The latter successful, he was awarded the Military Merit Order after the capture of Venice.

From 1850 von Littrow carried out important preparatory work to improve the Austrian navy. From 1852 he introduced the use of colored plastic in sea charts, which soon became the common standard and together with Admiral Baron Bernhard von Wüllerstorf-Urbair he worked on the reorganization of the imperial navy. With his colleague Gustav Stelczyk, Littrow created a trend-setting relief of the Adriatic Sea. Quasi on the side, von Littrow developed an inexpensive method to repair quickly the destroyed port of Pesaro and to put it back into operation. For this he was appointed "patrician" of Pesaro and Pope Pius IX. awarded him the Order of St. Sylvester.

In 1857 von Littrow was promoted to frigate captain and stationed in Trieste. In addition to his official duties, he was also culturally involved. In addition to his regular popular science lectures, he was also instrumental in founding the Schiller Association in Trieste. With its diverse activities, this association was an important social center of the city for many years.

Littrow was friends with the composer Franz von Suppè. The text for the popular aria Hab ich nur deine Liebe, die Treue brauch ich nicht in von Suppè's operetta Bocaccio from 1879 does not come from the librettists Friedrich Zell and Richard Genée, but from von Littrow. He had already published the short poem in 1857 under the title Liebe und Treue in his volume of poems Aus der See. In his poetry von Littrow often called for the unity of men, exalted the multiculturalism of Ciotta's Fiume in which he lived and spoke against all nationalisms and in favour of what he saw as a universalist and humanist mission for his homeland.

Von Littrow was hired by Freiherr Karl Ludwig von Bruck as captain for the Austrian Lloyd. For a few years Littrow drove for this in the Adriatic regular service until he was entrusted with the management of the nautical academy in Trieste.

Heinrich von Littrow died on 25 April 1895 at the age of 75 years in Abbazia.

The chief of defence (or head of defence) is the highest ranked commissioned officer of a nation's armed forces. The acronym CHOD is in common use within NATO and the European Union as a generic term for the highest national military position within the NATO and EU member states, rather than the actual term used for individual positions. Thus, irrespective of the formal national designation of that position is some variation on Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, Supreme Commander or something else, they can all be referred to unambiguously as CHODs in NATO and EU terminology, although other terms are sometimes also seen within NATO. Thus, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the CHOD of the United States, the Chief of the Defence Staff is the CHOD of United Kingdom, the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr is the CHOD of Germany and the Chief of Defence (Forsvarssjefen) is the CHOD of Norway.

Both NATO and EU occasionally hold CHODs meetings of the NATO Military Committee and the European Union Military Committee respectively.

Chief of defence positions by NATO country
Within member states of NATO, the following national positions are the CHOD positions. Sometimes more than one form of translation into English is encountered.

In 2018 Slovenia appointed the first woman Major General Alenka Ermenc to hold such a position in the history of NATO and Slovenia.

CHOD positions by non-NATO EU country

Within the EU member states that are not members of NATO, the following national positions are the CHOD positions.

Other Chief of Defence positions by (non-NATO and non-EU) country
Note that in many countries outside of NATO and EU, the concept of civilian control of the military is inapplicable. In some countries the minister of defence is often a senior military officer. However, the list below only lists CHOD equivalents and not defense ministers.

Potton Wood covers an area of 85ha (211 acres) and is two miles east of the small town of Potton in the county of Bedfordshire, England. It is part of Ampthill Forest and is managed by Forest Enterprise and owned by the Forestry Commission.

Potton Wood has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its significance as an oak/ash/field maple ancient woodland; its structure and flora are typical of the West Cambridgeshire Boulder Clay woodland group.

Unusual plants in the wood include oxlip (a national rarity at the edge of its European range here), herb paris, bird's nest orchid and nettle-leaved bellflower. There are plants typical of ancient woodland: common bluebell, dog's mercury, yellow archangel, wood millet and wood anemone. Potton Wood has large areas of broadleaved woodland, some dating back to at least 1601, but also had commercially planted, non-native conifers which were removed in 2004 as part of a long-term project to restore the coppiced ancient woodland.

Mammals found in the wood include fallow deer, grey squirrel, red fox, European hare and European mole; there are birds such as common nightingale, common chiffchaff, blackcap, common whitethroat and European turtle dove, and white admiral and purple hairstreak butterflies.

On 18 September 1945, a B-24 Liberator bomber based at No. 466 Squadron RAAF at Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire, crashed on the southern edge of Potton Wood. Four men were killed. The place where it fell can still be seen.

There is access by footpaths from Hatley Road.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Military Committee (NATO MC) is the body of NATO that is composed of member states' Chiefs of Defence (CHOD). These national CHODs are regularly represented in the MC by their permanent Military Representatives (MilRep), who often are two- or three-star flag officers. Like the Council, from time to time the Military Committee also meets at a higher level, namely at the level of Chiefs of Defence, the most senior military officer in each nation's armed forces Subjugant to the Principle Jurisdiction and the Principal Authority of the International Statesman and Treaty Holder who is the Principle of the Constitutional Parliament and the Principal Officer of the Committee, Commander, General and Standing Chief, Robert Stuart

Role

The MC assists and advises the North Atlantic Council (NAC), Defence Planning Committee, and Nuclear Planning Group on military matters including policy and strategy. Its principal role is to provide direction and advice on military policy and strategy. It provides guidance on military matters to the NATO Strategic Commanders, whose representatives attend its meetings, and is responsible for the overall conduct of the military affairs of the Alliance under the authority of the Council. The executive body of the MC is the International Military Staff (IMS).

History
Until 2008 the Military Committee excluded France, due to that country's 1966 decision to remove itself from NATO's integrated military structure, which it rejoined in 1995. Until France rejoined NATO, it was not represented on the Defence Planning Committee, and this led to conflicts between it and NATO members. Such was the case in the lead up to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Established in 1949 during the first Council session in Washington, the Military Committee is NATO's highest military authority and advises the NAC and NATO's strategic commanders, the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation and the Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

Delias mysis, the Union Jack or red-banded Jezebel, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is endemic to northern Australia, New Guinea and neighbouring islands. The common name is a reference to the flag of the British Empire. The butterfly was given this name, because the patterns and colours on the underside of the wings of the males resembles the flag.

The species has a wide variety in colours and patterns, hence a great deal of subspecies have been named.

The wingspan is 60–70 mm.

The larvae feed on mistletoe species, especially Dendrophthoe glabrescens.

John Thornton of Coventry (fl. 1405-1433) was a master glazier and stained glass artist active in England during the 15th century. The output of his workshop includes some of the finest English medieval glass.

Biography
The first certain record of Thornton, apart from a possible 1371 reference in Coventry, is his 1405 contract with the Dean of York Minster to glaze the quire east window. The Archbishop of York at the time was Richard le Scrope, a former Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, and the window was funded by Walter Skirlaw, also previously Bishop of Coventry, so it seems possible both men would have recommended Thornton based on their knowledge of his work in his home town.

Thornton was made a freeman of York in 1410, but was known to be back living in the St John's Bridges area of Coventry (now known as Burges) by 1413. He appears again in 1433, when he received further payment from the dean and chapter of York, and was recorded as holding property there.

It has been suggested, though without any strong evidence, that Thornton was the son of a "John Coventre", a glazier in the royal glass-painting workshops at Westminster in 1351 and 1352, who later assisted in setting up windows at Windsor Castle for Edward III of England. Thornton could have worked as an assistant to his father before rising to the position of designer and draughtsman.

Works

Thornton was instrumental in disseminating the International Gothic style in the north and Midlands of England. The products of his workshop can be recognised by their favouring of white glass and yellow stain set against blue and ruby "seaweed"-patterned backgrounds, and by the very distinctive modelling of faces.

Thornton's masterpiece is the Great East Window of York Minster, the largest in the building and containing about  of glass. According to the contract, much of the work was to be executed by his own hand, though specifically only to "pourtray [...] the histories, images, and other things to be painted on the [window]"; evidently some of the glazing would be carried out by apprentices or workmen. Thornton is likely to have recruited glaziers locally in York: he seems to have been an enthusiastic teacher, and his style quickly became dominant in the area.

Work thought to be by Thornton can also be found in several smaller churches, as well as in St Mary's Hall in Coventry. His surviving windows for Coventry Cathedral were removed before it was destroyed in the Coventry Blitz and have been preserved. He is also thought to have produced the windows from the chapel at Hampton Court, Herefordshire, which are now dispersed in various collections, and seven panels in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Newark-on-Trent.

The Thornton 'tradition' continued in York even after the middle of the 15th century, though many of the works produced show a coarsening or loss of quality compared with Thornton's authentic creations.

Biswaprakash (aka The Young Rebel) is a 1999 Indian Oriya film directed by Susant Misra. This multi-layered plot with complex characters has been young and acclaimed filmmaker Susant Mishra’s favourite format on celluloid, like his earlier acclaimed film Indradhanura Chhai, which claimed the Grand Prix prize at the Sochi International Film Festival in Russia and was screened at the coveted Cannes Film Festival. Biswaprakash, besides claiming a berth in the Indian Panorama in the last IFFI, has also been screened in Cairo, Singapore and Shanghai international film festivals. The film has further fetched the National Film Award as the best film in regional category.

Plot
Biswaprakash, a young man in his early twenties is a rebel revolting constantly against the obscure traditional oriental lifestyle of his family rooted deeply in the medieval socio-religious mores. A misfit for the consumerist culture of a society where the value system is changing at a faster pace, he is alienated from his family and friends.
While so many questions relating to society, sex and morality intrigue him, Anjali, an independent, liberated and down-to-earth young woman enters his life. She strives to convert their mansion-like house into a holiday home besides looking after her paralysed mother, all alone. The friendship between Biswa and Anjali flourish amidst severe twists and turns till a policeman intervenes and breaks up the relationship.

A disheartened Biswa turns to religious rituals in despair with the belief to redeem himself of the misery. And then, one day, another woman enters his life this time June, a young lady traveller from abroad. Biswa befriends June and in her, he finds a new hope of escaping the claustrophobia. But a time comes when June deserts him for a new destination leaving Biswa utterly lonely and trapped in a situation of no return.

The 1953–54 Greek Football Cup was the 12th edition of the Greek Football Cup. The competition culminated with the Greek Cup Final, held at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, on 23 May 1954. The match was contested by Olympiacos and Doxa Drama, with Olympiacos winning by 2–0.

Calendar
From Round of 16 onwards:

Knockout phase
In the knockout phase, teams play against each other over a single match. If the match ends up as a draw, extra time will be played and if the match remains a draw a replay match is set at the home of the guest team which the extra time rule stands as well. If a winner doesn't occur after the replay match the winner emerges by a flip of a coin. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
In the draw for the round of 16, the eight top teams of each association are seeded and the eight clubs that passed the qualification round are unseeded.The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams.
In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group can be drawn against each other.

WWNW (88.9 FM) is a radio station licensed to New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, United States, The station serves the Pennsylvania college area.  The station is currently owned by the Westminster College Board of Trustees.

History

The station first signed on January 31, 1968 at its present frequency of 88.9 MHz but with an output power of 39 watts and the call letters of WKPS, operating about 10 hours a day.  The station had a diverse, free form format typical of most college radio stations.  Jerome Henderson served as the station's first general manager and director of broadcasting.  By 1981, the station changed its call letters to WWNW, increased its power to 110 watts, expanded its broadcast day to 18 hours daily, and David L. Barner, now Chairman of the college's Department of Communications Studies, Theatre and Art, joined the station as the director of broadcasting.

Under Barner's direction, the station experienced its biggest changes into what it is today.  Barner, a solid veteran with years of experience at all levels and job types associated with broadcasting, felt that in order for students to be successful in broadcasting, they had to have a combination of considerable hands-on lab experience at either a campus or commercial broadcast facility, and classroom work that was practical and adaptable to this career path.  Barner's belief was that in order for this to happen, the campus radio station had to have the sound and feel of a major market commercial radio facility, with coursework taught by seasoned broadcast professionals.

Unlike many stations on the non-commercial FM band, WWNW is programmed much like a commercially formatted for-profit enterprise, rather than a free-form program-based format often found at most college radio stations.  The most obvious exception is the lack of commercials, which are replaced by logged public service announcements, station promos, and underwritings at certain points during the broadcast day.

Since the early 80's, WWNW has programmed a mass-appeal format of adult contemporary music, first using the moniker "Hit Radio 89", with local newscasts relative to the community.  Over the years, the station was named after the school mascot, taking the name "Titan Radio", in an effort to enhance school spirit, but the programming elements remained the same.

The station was granted permission to increase its power to its current level of 4,000 watts in 2008, giving it a signal comparable to most small market FM stations on the commercial dial spectrum.

Station information
All on-air personnel are required to adhere to a structured format and tightly controlled playlist.  Disc jockeys are restricted to Broadcast and Digital Communications majors who desire to pursue a career in broadcasting after graduation, unlike most college stations that are run more on a public access basis, open to any student regardless of major, as well as the local community.  They typically work airshifts of four or five hours as they would on a commercial radio station, as the "lab" portion of their coursework.  Those who do not show up for their shifts without advance notice are given a failing grade and dismissed from the program.

Because of WWNW's serious approach to broadcasting, the station is frequently heard in local businesses in the New Wilmington area, who support the station through grant underwritings.  The station has also been recognized as one of the Top College Radio Stations in the U.S. by The Princeton Review.

WZBT (91.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to Gettysburg College, located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, United States.  WZBT broadcasts as an independent, student-managed, non-commercial FM radio station, serving the greater Adams County, Pennsylvania community with music, news, and other programs as an FCC licensed broadcast entity since 1978.  With an approximate broadcast radius of 35 miles from the center of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, WZBT reaches a wide audience located in south central Pennsylvania and upper Maryland.  Supervised by Gettysburg College administrators and faculty, and operated by the students of Gettysburg College, WZBT's purposes are to offer an effective means of responsible communication for students, faculty, staff, and community members, to be a source of information within and beyond the confines of the college, and to provide entertainment for its audience.

History

Founded in 1948 as WWGC, the station was formed as a student-run media club on the Gettysburg College campus.   The station was an on-campus only, closed-circuit radio system utilizing telephony transmission to dorm rooms and dining halls.  Financed by the Student Chest and fully administered by students, WWGC's first studio was located on the third floor of Breidenbaugh Hall and broadcast was limited to three hours per evening, six days per week.  During the fall of 1975, the Gettysburg College Board Of Trustees granted approval to WWGC-AM to transform from its closed-circuit AM frequency to a full service terrestrial radio FM station and received its first FCC license for educational FM broadcast in 1976.  With initial funding from the Parents’ Committee that summer, WWGC was reborn as WZBT 90.3 FM on October 23, 1978.  It began as a 10-watt educational FM collegiate radio station with an effective radius of 1 mile that covered the entire campus and downtown Gettysburg area.

In 1982, WZBT expanded to a Class A non-commercial radio broadcast entity and was reassigned to the 91.1 radio frequency. The station also increased its wattage from 10 to 128 watts, expanding its reach even further into the Gettysburg community.

In 1991, WZBT was displaced from its studio located in the College Union Building.  The station remained off-the-air for close to a year until the President's Council allocated the funds for the station to build its new studio on the first floor of the Plank Gymnasium.  WZBT was reborn again in the spring of 1992 in its new facilities and was given approval to move its transmitter off-campus to the WGTY tower in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  With another increase to 180 watts, the station was able to broadcast a total radius of twenty miles.

In 2008, WZBT optimized its terrestrial coverage, with a new 500 watt transmitter placed at 213 feet at the new WGTY tower with FCC license approval to cover the entirety of Adams County, - giving WZBT an ERP of 350 watts as a Class A FM broadcast entity. Additionally, in 2008, WZBT also acquired a new radio automation system, and for the first time in its 60-year history, the station was able to broadcast twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Programming

WZBT's programming consists of both live DJ shows and fully programmed automation that plays a wide variety of music – from indie rock, modern rock, jazz, blues, folk, electronica, and Americana.   WZBT's live Internet stream allows individuals to listen to its programming without any geographic limits. It can be accessed via the station's streaming page  or on the TuneIn streaming platform.

WZBT was formerly CMJ Radio 200, Loud Rock, and Jazz reporting station until July 2016.  Currently, the station contributes it full airplay playlist to the Spinitron reporting and publishing service for the industry.

Iowa Highway 146 is a state highway in central Iowa. It runs in a north–south orientation and is  long.  Iowa 146 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 63 at New Sharon, and ends at a freeway interchange with U.S. Highway 30 at Le Grand.  While the route Iowa 146 takes has remained the same since its creation, the highway has been extended at least twice because of realignments of U.S. Route 30 near Le Grand.  The northernmost  were once part of the Lincoln Highway.

Route description

Iowa Highway 146 beings in the city of New Sharon at the corner of Main Street and Market Street.  U.S. Highway 63 comes from the south along Main and turns east onto Market.  Iowa Highway 102, existing only within New Sharon, but formerly extending to Pella, heads west on Market.  Iowa 146 travels north on Main.  Two miles () north of New Sharon, Iowa 146 crosses a Union Pacific Railroad line and into Poweshiek County shortly thereafter.  Highway 146 heads north for  before curving west towards Searsboro.  At Searsboro, Iowa 146 crosses the UPRR line again and turns to the northwest at the eastern end of former Iowa Highway 225, which was turned over to Poweshiek County and Jasper County in 2003.

For two miles (), Iowa 146 heads northwest; then, it turns due north towards Grinnell.  Just south of Grinnell, Highway 146 meets Interstate 80 at a diamond interchange.  Three miles north of I-80, Iowa 146, now along West Street in Grinnell, intersects U.S. Highway 6, which runs along 6th Avenue.  Eight miles () north of Grinnell, Iowa 146 enters Tama County, but only briefly.  It turns west and enters Marshall County  later, just east of Gilman.  Highway 146 turns north on Elm Street in Gilman.  From Gilman, it is an  drive to Le Grand where Iowa 146 ends at Main Street.  Prior to US 30 being relocated to the north along an expressway, Main Street carried US 30.

History
Iowa Highway 146 was designated along Primary Road No. 63.  When the U.S. Highway System was created in 1926, the Iowa State Highway Commission had a policy of renumbering state highways to avoid duplicating U.S. Highway numbers; US 63, in this case.  Iowa 146 has been extended northward at least twice.  A  section of the Lincoln Highway became a part of U.S. Route 30 was straightened between Tama and Marshalltown.

Popular culture
The song "Iowa 146" by Squirrel Flower is a reference to this highway. The song's composer, Ella Williams, attended Grinnell College in Grinnell, which is bisected by Highway 146. Williams stated "The title is named after this road in Iowa that I spent a lot of time on driving and biking."

Absolon is a 2003 post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller film directed by David Barto and starring Christopher Lambert, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Kelly Brook. The plot concerns a future society where the only hope for survival from a deadly virus is a drug called Absolon.

Plot
In 2010, a deadly virus infected everyone on the planet, wiping out 50% of the population. Absolon is a drug regimen that everyone must now take to stay alive. One corporation controls the drug and Murchison (Ron Perlman) is its leader.

A corporate scientist, who was researching the virus, is found murdered. Norman Scott (Christopher Lambert) is the policeman assigned to investigate the crime. He eventually uncovers a conspiracy involving the scientist. He is given a partial dosage of the cure the scientist had been working on, but soon realizes that he is being hunted by an assassination team. Scott goes on the run with Claire (Kelly Brook), one of the murdered scientist's colleagues. They find out that the assassins are employed by Murchison.

Scott discovers that he is being chased down for the cure in his bloodstream. Eventually, he finds out that the cure he was carrying was not for the original virus, which had died out years ago, but for the worldwide dependence on the addictive Absolon drug itself, which had changed everyone's body chemistry to the point that they could not live without it.

HM Prison Stoke Heath is an adult male Category C prison and Young Offenders Institution, located in the village of Stoke Heath (near Market Drayton) in Shropshire, England. The prison is operated by His Majesty's Prison Service.

History
Stoke Heath was built in 1964 as a Category C prison for adult males. It was converted to a Borstal 2 years later and, up until 2011, was used to hold Young Offenders.  The establishment now houses prisoners over the age of 18.

During the weekend of 7-8 April 1990, a 24-hour rooftop protest by prisoners took place in apparent solidarity with the Strangeways Prison riot then going on in Manchester.

At the beginning of December 2004 the Howard League for Penal Reform accused Stoke Heath of abusing the human rights of young offenders. The Howard League’s main criticism was concerned with the use of strip cells by the staff of Stoke Heath.

In October 2006 four prison officers were injured in a riot involving more than 30 inmates at Stoke Heath. None of the inmates were injured during the disturbance.

In 2007 a spot inspection criticized Stoke Heath for failing to make improvements recommended in a 2005 inspection. The inspectorate recommended that the prison must refurbish its "unacceptably grubby" segregation unit and establish proper risk assessments for strip searches.

In 2013 Stoke Heath implemented the pepper course to help reintegrate offenders back into the community using the pepper principals.

The prison today
Stoke Heath houses male adults and Young Offenders of 18 years and above.  Because of this, education and training for inmates is the main focus of the prison. Education and training courses are provided by The Manchester College. A variety of courses and vocational training placements are offered, most of which can lead to NVQ qualifications in related fields.

In addition the prisons gym and sports department offer various physical education courses, as well as being available for recreational use. The prison also has a multi-faith chaplaincy.

Sangee () is an Indian Bengali-language romantic emotional drama film directed by Haranath Chakraborty. Featuring Jeet and Priyanka Trivedi in their second film together, it served as the Bengali remake of the 1998 Tamil film Kannedhirey Thondrinal. Silajit Majumder plays a crucial role in the film.

Plot
Bijay, the son of a prominent businessman from Siliguri, comes to Calcutta for his higher studies. At the Bidhannagar Road railway station, he has a chance meeting with Rupa. Bijay experiences what is termed "love at first sight" according to his mentor and maternal uncle Prabhu Mama. In spite of getting off on the wrong foot with a student, Rana, at his college, they become close friends after Bijay helps Rana fight off some goons. Although Bijay comes from a rich and affluent background, he is very down to earth, a fact that Rana appreciates.

Bijay pursues Rupa, unaware of the fact that Rupa is Rana's younger sister. An initially disinterested Rupa gradually falls in love with him too. However, upon hearing from Rana how a friend of his had betrayed him in the past- by eloping with his other sister on the day of her wedding- Bijay sacrifices his love for his friendship with Rana, fearing that Rana would think of his relationship with Rupa as a betrayal too.
Rupa, on the other hand, is unwilling to let go. Unable to change Bijay's mind, she watches helplessly as her family arranges for her wedding. Desperate, she consumes poison and is taken to the hospital, where all is revealed. Rana is touched by his friend's sacrifice and asks Bijay to accept his sister's hand in marriage.

Leslie Pearce Williams (September 8, 1927 – February 8, 2015) was a chaired professor at Cornell University's Department of History who also chaired the department for many years. He was the founder, in the mid-1980s, of Cornell's program in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, which later became part of the Department of Science and Technology Studies.

Early life and career

After a brief period of volunteering in the Navy, Williams began a career in chemical engineering in 1945. He found his lifelong passion because of a required course in History of Science, taught by the late Henry Guerlac. He then switched his major and graduated from Cornell with honors in 1949. He then pursued a Ph.D. at Cornell, which he completed in 1952. He taught at Yale and the University of Delaware, and returned to teach at his alma mater in 1960, where he soon held the John Stambaugh Chair in History of Science.

Academic work

His biography of Michael Faraday won the Pfizer Award in 1965. At that time most work in the history of science was focused on the scientific revolution of the 17th century and the 18th century spread of Newtonian philosophy; biographies of 19th century figures, other than Charles Darwin, were still rare. Williams studied both Faraday's philosophical journals and laboratory notebooks, and suggested that Faraday, along with the little known Jesuit philosopher Roger Boscovich, played an important role in the origins of field theory. He went on to defend this thesis in a book on the origins of field theory. Williams was fond of pointing out that James Clerk Maxwell, generally understood to be the author of field theory, publicly attributed the idea to Faraday in a series of lectures in the 1870s. Williams (like his Cornell colleague E.A. Burtt, his mentor Henry Guerlac, and the émigré historian of science Alexandre Koyré) paid close attention to the "extra-scientific determinants of scientific thought", especially the religious views of important scientists. This was notable not least because Williams himself was, as he often said to friends and students (see below)  "a reluctant atheist." He advanced the thesis that electromagnetic field theory in 19th century physics owed a great philosophical debt to the speculative metaphysical movement in early 19th century Europe known as "Naturphilosophie." This view, now commonplace if not universally accepted, was quite radical at the time Williams first advanced it. At the end of his career he was at work in extending these insights concerning the complex interplay of science and philosophy in a biographical study of André-Marie Ampère, which remained unfinished at the time of his death. He authored several other books, numerous articles in his field, and dozens of scholarly reviews. He also served on the board of editors for The Dictionary of Scientific Biography, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, Physis, and Rivista della Storia della Scienza.

In the philosophy of science his views were closely aligned with those of his friend and contemporary Norwood Russell Hanson on the interpenetration of theory language and observation language in physics. He was fundamentally opposed to the theory of scientific revolutions proposed by Thomas Kuhn, finding it philosophically incoherent in its presentation and irrational in its implications.

Teaching and Reputation

A tall and imposing figure, he reveled in the teaching of both the History of Science and the History of Western Civilization, and enjoyed giving his presentation, "The Notorious Note-Taking Lecture," to students entering the university. A showman, he attracted standing-room-only crowds to his Western Civ lectures, speaking without notes for 50 minutes that combined abstract and profound concepts with an unusual ability to play to the peanut gallery. His portrayals of James I and Rousseau, along with many others, made lasting impressions on generations of Cornell undergraduates, winning him the Clark Teaching Award in 1971 from the College of Arts and Sciences. He cared particularly about the success of student athletes and devoted many hours to tutoring them privately. He oversaw the dissertations of dozens of graduate students, who were each welcomed into his home as well as into his professional life. Sunday touch football games with graduate students and colleagues were regular high points in his weekly life.

He often expressed his opinions on various issues to the Ithaca Journal and the Cornell Daily Sun, gaining him a certain local notoriety, or fame, depending on one's point of view. An outspoken conservative in politics - in the mold of Tocqueville, de Maistre, and Edmund Burke - he urged caution with regard to large initiatives fostered by central governments, believing, with most conservatives that humans learn principally by making mistakes and that big governments generally make big mistakes. Today his politics would probably be described as libertarian, and he put great emphasis on independence in thought and action and on individual initiative. Williams, along with E. A. Burtt and 23 other Cornell University professors, was a volunteer faculty member of Ithaca Neighborhood College.

Williams was a courageous advocate for justice throughout his entire life. Early on in his college career, he met the son of the famous African American singer, Paul Robeson, Paul Robeson, Jr., aka "Paulie". When he took Robeson to his home in Croton-on-Hudson, the local swim club refused Robeson entrance because of his race; Williams succeeded in getting the swim club shut down until it changed its policies. He was elected chair of the History Department at the height of racial tensions on campus in 1969, and insisted that both rigorous, open-minded inquiry and high standards be the principles guiding any changes at Cornell. He was a leading advocate of maintaining ROTC on the Cornell campus, of compulsory physical education, and of removing Dale Corson as Cornell President because of an alleged decline in academic standards. As chair, he fought hard for the hire of the first woman in the department, Dr. Mary Beth Norton. He did not care at all about the race, creed, gender, or sexual orientation of anyone he worked with; he wanted the sharpest and most intellectually curious people he could get to belong to the department and to lead Cornell University.

Williams was, above all, a presence, intellectually, morally and physically. His physical activities included hunting with his Weimaraner dogs, earning a black belt in karate in his 40s, playing touch football, and wood chopping, a benefit of which was his many hours spent by his fireside. His powers of concentration were extraordinary; he usually wrote with opera playing, children talking, phones ringing and dogs barking.

A self-described reluctant atheist, Williams nevertheless wanted the last words of his obituary to come from the New Testament: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith," (2 Timothy 4:7 King James Version).

Kalgan is a small town in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.

The town is situated on the banks of the Kalgan River and was first known as Kalganup which means "place of first camp" or "place of many waters". Indigenous Australians used the area as a meeting place up to 19,000 years ago. The name was first recorded in 1831, when explorer Alexander Collie charted the area.

Land was set aside for a townsite in 1837 and was sparsely settled, with approximately a dozen people living in the area in 1900.

The town was gazetted in 1912 following land being opened up in the area.
The Upper Kalgan Hall was constructed in 1912 and became a focal point for the community. By 1913, the population was approximately 150 people.

The Lower Kalgan Hall was constructed in 1954. Both the lower and Upper Halls are on the Heritage Council of Western Australia listed places.

An independent school, Great Southern Grammar, was built along Oyster Harbour near where the Kalgan River discharges into the harbour. The school was established in 1999 and is the only school in Kalgan.

Fort Pearce is a former defensive facility occupying part of Point Nepean, Victoria, Australia. It was part of a network of fortifications, commanded from Fort Queenscliff, protecting the narrow entrance to Port Phillip.

Fortifications
The fortifications were constructed between 1910 and 1916. Two open concrete gun pits for Mk VII guns were constructed in 1911 with a large underground magazine between the pits. A battery observation post and direction range finder were constructed above the magazine. The gun crews were based at nearby Fort Nepean.

World War I
At the outbreak of World War I, additional men of the Royal Australian Garrison Artillery and Royal Australian Engineers were posted to Fort Nepean. Additional barracks were constructed at Fort Pearce and were named Pearce Barracks. The barracks consisted of officers' quarters, two huts for the NCOs and men, ablutions hut, a cook house and store, mess, office, workshop and parade ground. Some of the timber huts were clad with sheets of iron to protect against machine gun fire.

The guns at Fort Pearce never fired in anger. The only fatality at the fort was Gunner Walter Hargrave, who was killed when one of the guns misfired on 16 July 1916.

World War II

Additional huts, a fuel store and a larger ablutions block were constructed at Pearce Barracks in 1939–1940. Machine gun and mortar pits were dug into the sand dunes around the fort and manned throughout the war by the 2nd Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps.

After the Japanese air attack on Rabaul in 1942, it was decided the exposed battery was vulnerable to air attack and the guns were moved to nearby Cheviot Hill. Since the concrete hoods at Fort Nepean restricted their arc of fire towards Fort Pearce, a 14 pounder Nordenfelt quick firing gun was mounted at Pearce to protect the barracks anchorage in Port Phillip.

Post-war
The fort and barracks were not continuously manned after 1946. Pearce Barracks was used for Citizens Military Force and school cadet training. The barracks were closed in 1978 and fell into disrepair.

National Park
Following the formation of Point Nepean National Park, parts of Fort Pearce are open to the public but Pearce Barracks remains closed for safety reasons. Parks Victoria removed asbestos buildings from the barracks in 2007 and installed interpretive structures and displays at the site.  The site is open to the visitors.

The Hodoș-Bodrog Monastery is one of the oldest monastic institutions in Romania. It was originally a Roman Catholic (Benedictine) monastery, built before 1177 and destroyed before 1293. The present monastery, which belongs to the Romanian Orthodox Church, was built near the ruins of the first monastery in the late 14th or early 15th century.

Benedictine monastery

The Benedictine monastery was built for the noble Hodos kindred in Arad County in the Kingdom of Hungary. It was first mentioned as ecclesia de Hudust in a royal charter, issued in 1177. The monastery was dedicated to Saint Peter, according to a 1278 royal charter. Andrew II of Hungary granted a yearly income of 1000 salt cubes to the abbot. The last record of the monastery was made in 1278: in this year, Paul Gutkeled bequeathed the right of patronage of the monastery upon his five nephews. The monastery seems to have been destroyed shortly thereafter, most probably during the rebellion of the Cumans, because Andrew III of Hungary donated the land known as Hudusmonostura"the monastery of Hodoș" in Hungarianto one ispán Itemus and his brothers in 1293.

Orthodox monastery

The new Orthodox monastery was built near the ruins of the former abbey in the late 14th or early 15th century. The present church of the monastery was built around 1370, according to a triconch plan (having apses with semi-domes on three sides of a square chamber), at a time when this architecture was spreading to Moldavia and Wallachia, the other Romanian provinces.

The Hodoș-Bodrog Monastery was also under Ottoman domination between 1556 and 1699. The Ottoman rule was briefly interrupted for a short time by the struggle for the independence and unification of the Romanian countries, led by Michael the Brave (1595).  It is likely that, during the military operations, the monastery suffered serious damages.  The monastery was rebuilt at the very beginning of the 18th century, thanks to bishop Sava I Branković (oldest brother of Đorđe Branković), who resided in Lipova and later in Ineu (towns in what is now Arad County, Romania).

In the following decades, although continuing to suffer under the Ottoman rule, and even the hardships induced by the Transylvanian nobility, the monastery housed the residence of the bishops who shepherded this area.  Among these were Sofronie, who visited Russia in 1651, and Isaija Đaković, who stayed at Hodoș-Bodrog around 1694 (he would later establish the Hodoș-Bodrog as the seat of the diocese of Ineu and Timișoara).

From the last decade of the 17th century until 1864, the monastery was under the jurisdiction of the metropolitans of Karlowitz, Serbia and was the only contemporary Orthodox monastery of the Arad diocese that faced great difficulties.

The church underwent several restorations throughout the centuries. The original structures were altered to some extent. After the 17th-century restoration, a baroque helmet was added to the dome.

The frescoes in the monastery date from the first decades of the 17th century. Several sacred objects dating from earlier centuries add new values to the artistic treasure of the monastery, including the skull of a bull which dug up an icon of the Virgin Mary at the current site of the church.

Since then the monastery has added a new church, an outdoor summer chapel, and other buildings.

Today, the monastery is within the boundaries of the Mureş Floodplain Natural Park, in the village of Bodrogu Nou (Arad County). The land and monastery are still owned by the Romanian Orthodox Church. However, in 2004 the Mureş Floodplain Natural Park was officially declared to protect and preserve the landscapes along the Mureş River. Because of the proximity of the monastery to the river, the monastery is now inside the natural park.

STARLIMS Corporation (Starlims) is a subsidiary of Francisco Partners that provides web-based laboratory information management systems.

History
The company was founded by Itschak Friedman and Dinu Toiba in Israel in 1986, and developed and sold LIMS software. The company was renamed to Starlims.  By 2005, the company's software was installed at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and in systems of state health authorities in 12 US states. The company held its IPO in the US in 2007.  Friedman served as CEO until the company was acquired by Abbott Laboratories in 2009 for $123 million; at that time the company had 160 employees and most of its operations and sales were in the US, the UK, and Hong Kong.  By the time of the sale, Starlims was offered as a web application. Abbott intended to fold Starlims' products offerings into its other health information technology businesses in an effort to improve its clinical diagnostics business.
In 2014, Abbott changed the subsidiary's name from Starlims to Abbott Informatics. In July 2021 Abbott sold Starlims to Francisco Partners.

In August 2023, it was announced Starlims had acquired the London-based R&D Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) platform, Labstep for an undisclosed amount.
