"You Better Move On" is a 1961 rhythm and blues song by Arthur Alexander. It reached number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1962. Versions by Billy "Crash" Craddock, George Jones and Johnny Paycheck were hits on the Country charts.

Arthur Alexander version
The lyrics were inspired by Alexander's real life situation, in which his girlfriend and future wife already had a boyfriend.  Alexander said of the situation "When I met her out of high school he was still hanging in there. His family was pretty well off.  I didn't have no money but I knew she liked me.  It was a small town and people would be talking.  That's where I got the idea for the song.  I didn't talk to him personally.  I said it in song."

The song was recorded at the fledgling FAME Studios, which at that point was located above the City Drug Store in Florence, Alabama. (The studio would shortly move to its more famous location in nearby Muscle Shoals, Alabama.) The session musicians on the recording included David Briggs, piano, Terry Thompson, guitar, Forest Riley, acoustic guitar, Norbert Putnam, bass guitar, Jerry Carrigan, drums, and unknown back up singers.

Music critic Toby Creswell included "You Better Move On" as one of the 1001 great songs of all time.

The Rolling Stones version
The Rolling Stones released their version of Arthur Alexander's song on an EP, The Rolling Stones, on January 10, 1964. Bruce Eder of AllMusic wrote about the EP: "the real centrepiece was Arthur Alexander's 'You Better Move On,' an American-spawned favourite that the band had been doing in concert — this was their chance to show a softer, more lyrical and soulful sound that was every bit as intense as the blues and hard R&B they'd already done on record." The EP reached no. 1 in the UK EP charts in February 1964, having entered the chart the week after its release.

Billy "Crash" Craddock version
Billy "Crash" Craddock released a version of the song as a single in 1971 and on his album of the same name the following year. Craddock's version reached No. 10 on Billboards Hot Country Singles chart, No. 4 on Cash Boxs Country Top 65 chart, and No. 9 on Record Worlds Country Singles Chart.

Tommy Roe version
Tommy Roe released a version in 1979, which reached No. 70 on Billboards Hot Country Singles chart, No. 68 on the Cash Box Top 100 Country chart, and No. 75 on Record Worlds Country Singles chart.

George Jones and Johnny Paycheck version
George Jones and Johnny Paycheck recorded a version for their 1980 collaboration album Double Trouble. It was also released as a single and reached No. 18 on Billboards Hot Country Singles chart, No. 19 on Record Worlds Country Singles chart, and No. 23 on the Cash Box Top 100 Country chart.

Wooloomanata Station was a sheep station located  north-north-west of Lara, Victoria, Australia.

Frederick William Armytage built a single storey U-plan Italianate style bluestone homestead with an intricate encircling iron verandah c 1860–63.

The Australian Army hired the homestead for use as the Southern Command Training School in 1939 during World War II. In 1943, the Royal Australian Air Force hired the homestead as a pilots' and officers' mess while No. 79 Squadron RAAF (RAAF) was forming-up with Supermarine Spitfires at Wooloomanata Aerodrome which had been constructed at the property. The Works Training Unit of the RAAF also operated from the property.

Alcohol laws of Maryland vary considerably by county, due to the wide latitude of home rule granted to Maryland counties.

State laws

Underage possession and consumption
It is illegal under state law for a person under the age of 21 to possess or consume an alcoholic beverage, but the law contains several exceptions:
 Underage individuals who are employees of businesses that hold a valid state-issued liquor license may possess (but not consume) alcohol in the course of their job during regular business hours.  Common examples are serving alcoholic drinks to customers of a restaurant, making deliveries for a catering company, and stocking shelves at a store that sells alcohol.
  Alcohol may be possessed or consumed by an underage person in a private residence so long as it is furnished or allowed by a member of that person's immediate family (typically a parent).
  Alcohol may be consumed as part of a religious ceremony, such as the Roman Catholic or Episcopal Communion rite.

It is a separate offense for an underage person to misrepresent age for the purpose of obtaining alcohol, or to possess any sort of card or document that falsely identifies the person's age.  An underage person who illegally possesses alcohol or false identification is subject to a citation rather than arrest, and the event is considered a civil offense, meaning that it does not count as a criminal conviction and cannot result in imprisonment in and of itself.  This is because the reason for the drinking age in the first place is that the law does not consider individuals under 21 to be responsible enough to consume alcohol unsupervised; therefore holding them fully criminally responsible would be paradoxical.

Furnishing alcohol to underage persons
Except for the specific exempt circumstances provided in Maryland law, it is also illegal for anyone to purchase alcohol for someone under 21, or to give it to them.  Maryland alcohol laws require that the defendant knew the person was under 21, and purchased or furnished alcohol for that underage person to consume.  In addition, it is also illegal for an adult who owns or leases property, and lives at that property, to knowingly and willfully allow anyone under 21 to consume alcohol there, unless they are members of the same immediate family.  This law does not necessarily make homeowners criminally responsible for any illegal drinking at their residence, unless they were both aware of it and intentionally allowed it to happen.

Employment
A person must be at least 21 years old to be employed to serve alcoholic beverages or sell alcoholic beverages, although some counties have different laws. A person must be at least 18 years old to work in another capacity at an establishment that serves alcohol.

Open containers
State law prohibits open containers with any amount of alcohol within the passenger area of a motor vehicle.  Passengers of a vehicle are similarly prohibited from consuming alcohol in the passenger area, but the law provides exceptions for non-drivers in the back of hired vehicles such as taxis, limousines, and buses, as well as in the living areas of motor homes.  The driver is also shielded from prosecution if it is based solely on another occupant of the vehicle having an open container.  This law only considers certain parts of a vehicle to be the "passenger area," and excludes locked glove compartment, trunks, and the area behind the rear-most seats if the vehicle has no trunk (such as those commonly found in vans and SUVs).  Like underage possession above, violation of the open container law is a civil offense.

Taxation
In July 2011, Maryland's taxation of alcohol was increased for the first time since the 1970s, from 6 percent to 9 percent. The tax is applied at the consumer level, appearing as a line-item on the customer's receipt.

County laws

History
Prior to 1973, the minimum age to buy or possess alcoholic beverages was 21 years old. In 1973, the minimum age was decreased to 18 years old in Montgomery County and Prince George's County. In 1974, the minimum age was decreased to 18 years old for the entire state. In 1982, the minimum age was increased to 21 years old but with a grandfather clause which allowed those who had already turned 18 (born June 30, 1964 or earlier) to consume beer and wine.

Ulocladium is a genus of fungi.  Species of this genus contain both plant pathogens and food spoilage agents.  Other species contain enzymes that are biological control agents.
Some members of the genus can invade homes and are a sign of moisture because the mold requires water to thrive.  They can cause plant diseases or hay fever and more serious infections in immuno-suppressed individuals.

Species of Ulocladium resemble those of genus Alternaria with which they were once included. Several DNA-based phylogenetic studies place Ulocladium convincingly within Alternaria, suggesting that the latter is the correct classification for these species. However, Ulocladium, unlike Alternaria, do not produce alternariols, tenuazonic acid, altersolanols, or macrosporin.

The species Ulocladium oudemansii is utilised as a biocontrol agent against Botrytis cinerea. The New Zealand company Botryzen (2010) Ltd uses it to control Botrytis bunch rot in the NZ vineyard industry, Sclerotinia and Psa in the NZ kiwfruit industry.

Conidia
Conidia are black, rough, with pointed base when young, with both transverse and longitudinal septae, single or in a short chain (only in U. chartarum). Conidiophores are pale brown, erect, multicelled, and develop conidia in a sympodial mode. The two common species of indoor Ulocladium are U. botrytis and U. chartarum. This genus is closely related to Alternaria and Stemphyllium. Ulocladium conidia are characteristic and can be identified by properly trained laboratory analysts, although spores of Alternaria and Pithomyces may be confused with Ulocladium.

Species (approximately 20)
 Ulocladium alternariae (Cooke) Simmons, fungal agent of pistachio
 Ulocladium atrum, biocontrol of Botrytis cinerea
 Ulocladium botrytis Preuss, claimed not a pathogen, but found to cause onychomycosis

The Official Development Assistance Accountability Act, (long title: An Act respecting the provision of official development assistance abroad ) is Canadian federal legislation that governs how development aid given to foreign countries is delivered and administered. The bill was introduced as C-293, a Private Member's Bill by Liberal MP John McKay which called for significant changes to the manner in which Canada’s official development assistance is delivered and administered.

Often referred to as the "Better Aid Bill," its primary purpose is to mandate that the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) target Canada’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the specific goal of poverty reduction in developing nations.

Prior to the passage of C-293, parliamentary committees and NGOs had called for a clearer mandate for ODA. Critics of Canada’s aid spending noted that assistance was often sent to countries that had recently experienced strong economic growth and prosperity or had dubious records regarding human rights. In an article from June 19, 2007, the National Post reported that Canada had sent $7.7 million to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for job creation programs and reconciliation projects, despite the country’s healthy economy, lower taxation rate and higher per capita GDP. In another example, Ivison noted that in 2004-2005 China received $57 million in ODA, amid concerns held by the international community about human rights abuses.

The Bill established a set of principles that CIDA must take into account when judging how aid is to be spent. First, it requires that the perspectives and concerns of those who receive ODA be taken into account. This means that Canadian aid flows will have to respect the priorities of its beneficiaries - the people living in poverty. Secondly, it requires that ODA be promulgated in a manner consistent with Canadian values and foreign policy, sustainable development, and the promotion of democracy and human rights. The Bill also requires that Canadian foreign aid spending be more transparent and accountable to Parliament and must be reported in a timely manner. Due to the legislated focus on long-term poverty reduction, ODA cannot be redirected towards international military efforts or short-term disaster relief (areas of policy that the Canadian government must fund separately) and is subject to judicial review and oversight by the Minister.

The Honourable Romeo Dallaire moved third reading of C-293 in the Senate. Senator Dallaire hailed the Bill saying: "My colleague in the other place, the Honourable John McKay, introduced Bill C-293 in the House of Commons in May 2006, almost two years ago. It has come a long way since then and has been put through many valuable and essential debates. I believe the debates initiated by Bill C-293 were so important that they will inform the nature of any future essential international development policy and legislation in this country. It is a first step." On March 20, 2008, C-293 passed third reading in the House of Commons with unanimous support from all parties. It received Royal Assent on May 29, 2008.

The Act represents a trend among other nations that provide foreign aid toward legislated mandates for the provision of foreign aid. In 2002 the U.K. passed the International Development Act that entrenched poverty reduction as the preponderant focus of its foreign aid.  Other countries with similar legislation include Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Luxembourg, Denmark and Belgium.

The Act has received praise from a diverse array of groups and organizations including Canada's Coalition to End Global Poverty,
Make Poverty History, Engineers without Borders and the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.

Joseph-Mathias Gérard de Rayneval (24 February 1736, Masevaux, Haut-Rhin – 31 December 1812, Paris), was a French  diplomat and government minister of the Ancien Régime.

Career
Gérard de Rayneval served under the Bourbon Foreign Minister, Charles Gravier de Vergennes, as Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade.
In 1776, he produced a memo on France's strategic and diplomatic interests entitled Reflections on the Situation in America.

In 1782, he was sent on a secret mission to London to make peace feelers and later undertook official diplomatic visits that led to the Eden Agreement.

John Jay, a Founding Father of the United States, upon learning of the trips suspected French duplicity, leading him to begin separate negotiations with the British. He wrote about his negotiations with Jay over the Mississippi:

If by the future treaty of peace, Spain preserves West Florida, she alone will be the sole proprietor of the course of the Mississippi from the thirty-first degree of latitude to the mouth of this river. Whatever may be the case with that part which is beyond this point to the north, the United States of America can have no pretentions to it, not being masters of either border to this river.

On 30 November, preliminary articles of peace were signed but it took a year, until 3 September 1783, for the Paris Peace Treaty to be signed.

Chevalier Gérard de Rayneval was appointed to the Royal Order of Charles III and served in King Louis XVI's Conseil d'Etat.

Family
He was the fourth son of Claude Gérard, of Masmünster in Alsace, by his wife Marie-Françoise Wetzel.

In Paris on 8 August 1776, he married Sophie Gaucherel and had by her three children:

 Adélaïde Gérard de Rayneval (1777-1860);
 Maximilien Gérard de Rayneval (1778-1836), created a Baron;
 Alexandrine-Sophie Gérard de Rayneval (1780-1823).

His eldest brother was Conrad-Alexandre Gérard, comte de Munster.

Ko Lamphu (เกาะลำพู) is a river island on the Tapi River in Thailand. It is located near Surat Thani's city centre, about  from the river's mouth. It is connected to the mainland by a bridge near the city pillar shrine.

Ko Lamphu is mostly flat and  long. There is a small park on the island, mainly used for picnics and sports. Food stalls are often set up at various spots on the island, serving the visitors with snacks and food. Koh Lamphu offers a view of Surat Thani's skyline with its promenade by the riverfront.

Festivals
The Chak Phra and the Thot Phapa Buddhist ceremonies are celebrated on the same day in October at Ko Lamphu. At the Thot Phapa event Buddha images on elaborately decorated carriages are pulled by local people during land- and water-borne processions. This ceremony takes place at dawn. Chak Phra, celebrated later in the day, consists of offering saffron robes to monks and donations to temples at the end of the Buddhist Rains Retreat.

The Sheridan Flouring Mills, also known as the Mill Inn, are an industrial complex in Sheridan, Wyoming. The mills were a major component of the economy of north central Wyoming, providing collection, storage and milling of locally produced wheat and other grains into flour and other milled products. The original mill was established by Captain Scott W. Snively in the early 1890s. The Sheridan Milling and Manufacturing Company was sold to J.W. Denio in 1903, who operated the mill at its location on Broadway Avenue near downtown Sheridan.  A catastrophic fire destroyed this mill in 1919, resulting in the purchase of a new location on Coffeen Avenue and construction of a much larger mill.

The present complex was built in 1920-21 for J.W. Denio by Ballinger and McAllister of Bloomington, Illinois. It consists of a reinforced concrete mill building with a long two-story wing and a more compact six-story section, adjoined by a reinforced concrete grain elevator with seven pairs of grain tanks. The elevator features a large logo with a cowboy on a bucking horse and the legend "Best Out West Enriched Flour, Tomahawk Feeds For Livestock and Poultry, Sheridan Flouring Mills, Inc." The elevator building is  high, while the grain tanks are  high. The mill therefore dominates the skyline of Sheridan.

The mill was purchased by Nebraska Consolidated Mills Company in 1963, the firm that became Con-Agra in 1971. The mill was upgraded in 1967, but closed in 1972. In 1974 a local corporation purchased the mill and converted it into a hotel in 1977-1978. As part of the hotel renovation, the interior partitions were removed from the mill building and new windows were installed, partially closing the openings with masonry.

The grain elevators had a capacity in the 1930s of 410,000 bushels of grain. They are now abandoned and their machinery has been removed. The mill's products included wheat cereal and biscuit, doughnut, waffle and pancake flour, marketed as "Best Out West." Animal feed products were sold under the "Tomahawk" brand. The mill employed a baker to test the production by baking bread twice a day.

The mill had a rail connection via a spur line of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. The tracks were removed with the development of the Sugarland commercial district.

Turf Battles, often referred to as TB, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). It is IMAZIC's first released game first introduced in 2002. Turf Battles takes place within the world of Fomalhaut, years after a major war. Originally published under HyperEngines LLC, The open beta was announced around September 2005. Due to many technical issues, the game ultimately failed, and Hyper Engines LLC closed its operations mid-2008.

However, due to popular player support, the title was picked up for the American audience by Aeria Games and Entertainment. Aeria Games and Entertainment announced Turf Battles on December 9, 2008. After three Closed Betas, Turf Battles has gone into a final Beta Stress Test, which moved into an Open Beta. On June 18, 2010, Aeria Games closed down the Turf Battles servers citing "over a year of continued issues (old and new). (Aeria Games) have been working with the developer through these difficulties, but the efforts of both teams have not been able to completely eradicate the problems facing Turf Battles. Fewer and fewer people have been logging in."

In around 2014, Eonic Games, "a MMORPG development company whose aim is to revive the Turf Battles MMORPG", re-re-released the title as a complete rebuild based on the original HyperEngine LLC system, including the Island PK system. The new release proceeded out of open beta and is currently undergoing what they call, "Seasons", by testing out new improvements, items, nerf, etc. and implementing what was well received into the game; seasons last 3 months at a time and undergo roughly 1-month break in between seasons.

Gameplay

Starting a character or a play session

As with other MMORPGs, players control a character avatar within a game world, exploring the landscape, fighting monsters, completing quests and interacting with NPCs or other players. In common with many other MMORPGs, Turf Battles does not require the player to pay for a subscription, but in-game items can be purchased with real-world money.

To enter the game, the player must select a realm (or server). Each realm acts as an individual copy of the game world. Servers are both Player versus player (PvP), where open combat among players is common, and Player versus environment (PvE), where the focus is on defeating monsters and completing quests. On a server, a player may create characters belonging to either of two races: Human or Nephilim. Each server has several channels, which players can change between freely during gameplay, and either select one of their previously made characters, or create a new one.

To create a new character, players must choose between the two races of Humans or Nephilim. Characters from the two races can communicate and trade, and members of the two races can speak, email, group, and share tribes. The player selects the new character's class, such as Archers or Blue Mages for the Nephilim, or Blades, Fists or Red Mages for the Humans. Each class is unique to a particular race.

On-going gameplay

As characters become more developed, they gain skills, requiring the player to further define the abilities of that character. Crafting materials, such as leather, herbs, metal, wood, and gems, can also used by characters. Characters may form or join tribes, allowing characters in the same tribes unified communications, a shared tribe name, and possibly identity, tribe bank and dues.

Much Turf Battles play involves questing. These quests, also called tasks or missions, are usually available from non-player characters (NPCs). Quests usually reward the player with experience points, items, and/or in-game money. It is also through quests that much of the game's story is told, both through the quest text, and through scripted NPC actions. Quests are linked by a common theme. Each quest is triggered by the completion of the previous quest, forming a quest chain. Quests commonly involve killing a number of creatures, gathering a certain number of resources, finding a difficult-to-locate object, speaking to various NPCs, visiting specific locations, interacting with objects in the world, or delivering an item from one place to another.

While a character can be played on its own, players can also form groups with others, in order to tackle more challenging content. In this way, character classes are used in specific roles within a group. In Turf Battles, when a character dies, they are resurrected in the nearest Safe Zone. When a character is killed by a monster, they lose some experience. Also, there is a possibility of dropping items the character had equipped, requiring the player to attempt to return the location they died at, to regain dropped items. When a character fights, the items equipped degrade, requiring in-game money and a NPC to repair them. Items that degrade heavily can become unusable until they are repaired.

Turf Battles contains a variety of mechanisms for Player versus player (PvP) combat. Each server allows player versus player combat almost anywhere in the game world. In PVP environments, players can attack each other at almost any time or location. On all servers, there are special areas of the world where free-for-all combat is permitted. Battle arenas, for example, allow all players to engage each other without fear of penalty or loss of rank.

Setting

Turf Battles is a Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). It takes place in a 3D-representation of the world of Fomalhaut, which players can interact with through their characters. The game features two main lands on the continent of Fomalhaut, as well as numerous smaller lands and islands. In the game world, players use their characters to explore locations, defeat creatures, and complete quests, among other such activities. By doing these things, characters gain experience points. After a set number of experience points have been gained, a character gains a level and new stat points, opening up the option of learning new skills, using new items, exploring new areas, and attempting new quests. As a player explores new locations, they can "save" locations, both for future reference, and in order to teleport back to these locations, should the desire arise. Players can discover "crystal shifters" in newly discovered locations, and then use those NPCs in order to teleport to previously discovered locations in other parts of the world. Players can also use facilities such as NPCs, or "crystals", in order to move from one area of Fomalhaut to another. Although the game world remains reasonably similar from day to day, locations have changeable weather such as dust, snow, and storms.

A number of facilities are available to characters when in towns and cities. In each major city, characters can access a warehouse, in order to deposit items, such as treasure or crafted items. Each warehouse is unique to that character, with players able to purchase additional storage space. In the major cities of Fomalhaut, players can expect to see player hosted booths.

Some of the harder challenges in Turf Battles require players to group together to complete them. These usually take place in dungeons and other difficult areas, which a group of characters can enter together. This allows players to explore areas and complete quests, with other players outside the group. Each major area has one main dungeon, and are designed for characters of varying progressions.

Development
Turf Battles was first announced by HyperEngines LLC in October 2005. Development of the game from the Korean version has taken about 2 months, with extensive testing. The game was designed to be an open environment, where players are allowed to do what they please. Quests are optional, and were designed to help guide players, allow character development, and to spread characters across different zones, to try to avoid what developers call 'player collision'. The game interface allows players to customize appearance, controls, and other modifications.

Regional variations
IMAZIC distributes Turf Battles in the following countries: Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, and the United States.

In Korea, the game is called Sephiroth (세피로스). Sephiroth is the base version of Turf Battles, written in Korean, and allowing those with only Korean Social Security Numbers to play.

In Taiwan, the game is called Sephiroth (凱旋). The game is written in the Chinese language, and is restricted solely to players who are located in Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macao.

In China, the game is called Kaixuan (凯旋/Triumph). The game is written in the Chinese language, and is restricted solely to players who are located in Asia.

Elen Dosia (1915 – 10 May 2002), born Hélène Odette Zygomala, sometimes known as Ellen Dosia, was a French opera singer of Greek origin.

Dosia was born in Istanbul, then in the Ottoman Empire. She became a soprano singer, and enjoyed her first major success at age 20 with the title part in Tosca. She quickly became one of the most popular singers at Opéra Garnier and Opéra-Comique, where she performed from 1935 through 1952. Before World War II she was described as "the most popular singer in the world". She appeared often in Massenet operas, performing in Manon and Thaïs, and appearing at the June 1942 Massenet Gala singing the title role in a tableau of Esclarmonde.

In 1951 she appeared in the documentary Of Men and Music, singing excerpts from Salome's part in Hérodiade.

On 15 November 1947 Dosia debuted at the Metropolitan Opera as Tosca to Jan Peerce's Cavaradossi and Frank Valentino's Scarpia with Giuseppe Antonicelli conducting. Her performance was relatively poorly received; reviews were critical, and after only five performances (in both Tosca and Manon, and as Mélisande in Pelléas et Mélisande the following season), she retired from the stage in 1952. Thereafter Dosia concentrated on her family life.

Miežionys () is a village in the Vilnius district municipality, Lithuania. According to the 2011 census, its population was 92.

From 1923 to 1939 the village was located in Wilno Voivodeship, in the north-eastern part of the Second Polish Republic. After the Nazi German and Soviet invasions of Poland in September 1939 the village was transferred to Lithuania according to the Soviet–Lithuanian Mutual Assistance Treaty.

During the Nazi occupation in World War II the village gave assistance to the Jews organised into food gathering groups sent from the Jewish ghetto in Radun, including those who escaped the German massacre of May 10, 1942. Among them was Leon Kahn, who appeared with his father in Mieżańce (Mizhantz) while wandering around the area. The villagers took them in and gave them food and help. Sarah Fishkin of Rubieżewicze left a diary attesting to repeated acts of kindness by villagers in that area.

North Cornelly () is a village in Cornelly, Bridgend county borough, Wales. The village is close to South Cornelly, adjoins Pyle and Porthcawl, and junction 37 of the M4 motorway, which runs along its southern side.

The village is accessible from the motorway, the A4229 and the A48. There are regular buses to Porthcawl, Bridgend and Port Talbot. The nearest railway station is Pyle.

North Cornelly is first recorded as 'The Vill of Walter Lupellus' in a 12th-century document. The name North Cornelly probably derived from its close proximity to the crossroads where the road to the original village of Cornelly (present-day South Cornelly) branched off from the main road.

Filming began in June 1967. The day before filming began, Catherine Deneuve's sister and fellow actress Françoise Dorléac had died in a car accident.

"It was a painful time in my life", she later recalled. "I was in a cloud. I turned a bit like a misty automaton. Fortunately, the grief did not mark the film."

"Benjamin was a role that I really liked," said Deneuve later. "It was a comedy, but in the spirit and tone particular."

Reception

Box office
The film was the eleventh most popular movie at the French box office in 1968.

Critical response
The critic for The Guardian claimed that "the dialogue is stylish without being witty and it is continuously and tiresomely arch." The Los Angeles Times said the film was "as superlatively acted as it is photographed and scored". The Washington Post said the film "has little to be said for it except is evidently authentic chateux".

Pauline Kael wrote that Pierre Clementi "indicates adolescent innocence by being loose-limbed and girlish. It is essential for the boy to suggest the kind of man he will become once he has learned what everyone is so eager to teach him, but Clémenti looks as though he would become a lesbian."

Francis John Turner (10 April 1904 – 21 December 1985) was a New Zealand geologist. He received his BSc and MSc from the Auckland University College. He worked with the New Zealand Geological Survey and in 1926 he became a geology lecturer in the University of Otago.

At Otago he became interested in metamorphism and studied the unexplored metamorphic rocks of South Island on which he earned his PhD in 1934 from the University of New Zealand. His application and expansion of Pentti Eskola's concept of metamorphic facies led to his publication of Mineralogical and Structural Evolution of Metamorphic Rocks, the book that established his position in the field of petrology and was a great influence on a generation of geologists.

In 1946 he accepted a position at the University of California in Berkeley. At Berkeley he gained insight into experimental studies of petrology and geochemistry. He later collaborated with John Verhoogen on the classic work Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology published in 1960. He authored eighty technical papers and six textbooks on metamorphic, igneous, and structural petrology. He retired from Berkeley in 1971.

Deltasaurus is an extinct genus of Carnian temnospondyl amphibian of the family Rhytidosteidae.

Taxonomy
The genus was erected in 1965 by John W. Cosgriff, when describing two new species discovered northwest Australia. The author recognised an affinity with other genera allied to the family Rhytidosteidae that had been uncovered in Africa, and proposed their arrangement to a new superfamily Rhytidosteoidea.

It is the most common animal fossil of the Blina Shale, a fossil deposit at the eastern end of the Erskine Range in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. A specimen has also been collected from the Knocklofty Sandstone deposit in Tasmania.

The genus places two fossil taxa, Deltasaurus kimberleyensis, the type species which grew to around 90 centimetres in length, and Deltasaurus pustulatus, also described by Cosgriff in 1965.
The genus has been variously placed in subsequent arrangements, at one time as a familia Derwentiidae that separated the Australian taxa from Indobrachyops found on the Indian subcontinent. A revision of the Rhytidosteidae (Stereospondyli: Trematosauria) published in 2011 applied phylogenetic methodologies to reassess the relationships of the genera and submerged the Derwentiidae as a new subfamily of Rhytidosteidae that included the genus Indobrachyops as an eastern Gondwanan grouping of Australian and Indian rhytidosteids.

Distribution
A stereospondyl genus unearthed at sites located in Western Australia and Tasmania in shale deposits dated from the upper Permian to lower Triassic.

Description
A temnospondyl amphibian of the family Rhytidosteidae.
It had four limbs and a tail, and numerous tiny teeth. It is thought to have been a predator of fish.
Deltasaurus are distinguished from other Australia species of Rhytidosteidae by the straight side of the skull, rather than parabolic outline of Rewana quadricuneata, Arcadia myriadens and Derwentia warreni.

Which have the house colours of yellow, red, blue, green, purple and orange respectively; the houses are named after famous people from history. The houses were previously known as Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria and Wessex before they were changed in 2008 and Babbage, Curie, Einstein and Armstrong up until 2022.

Students at Highfield, alongside Fearnhill School and many local primaries, take part in Science-related events, including a celebration evening. The school also works closely to develop science and maths in their partner primary schools throughout the year.

Original buildings
The original school buildings were designed using a system of standard prefabricated components, and construction work started in May 1964. The prefabrication system used was SEAC Mark 1 (2' 8" Steel).

The buildings
In January 2017 the school moved into a new purpose-built £15 million building beside the old one, the latter being consequently demolished. The new building was fully financed by the Education Funding Agency. Originally North Hertfordshire District Council turned down the application on the grounds that the development would have a detrimental effect on neighbouring residential areas "due to its size and proximity to nearby buildings." They also raised concerns regarding the quality of the design. However, the planning inspector dismissed these claims stating that the building would not have an adverse effect on the locale.

Ronald Tierney December 12, 1944 - September 5, 2017 Born in Indianapolis, Indiana birthplace of Tierney's legendary, fictional character Dietrich (Deets) Shanahan.  After years as a writer, newspaper editor and communications director, Tierney began writing mysteries in the late 1980s.  The Stone Veil introduces semi-retired, Indianapolis-based private investigator Deets Shanahan. The first in a series of 11 novels, "The Stone Vail" was a finalist in St. Martin's Press "Best First Private Eye Novel" competition.  It was also nominated for the Private Eye Writers of America Shamus Award for "Best First Novel." After Moving to San Francisco, Tierney embarked on a second series involving the strong and passionate Carly Paladino, the lead investigator for a large, prestigious San Francisco security firm and the down on his luck, streetwise P.I. Noah Lang. Tierney was a member of the Authors Guild, Mystery Writers of America, and the Private Eye Writers of America. Tierney's novels have been published by the UK's Severn House, St. Martin's Press and Dutton (Penguin Group).
