The Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units is a training center and a doctrinal hub created by the Italian government on 1 March 2005, in accordance with the G8 Action Plan “Expanding Global Capability for Peace Support Operations” (PSOs). This initiative is based on the international expertise developed by the Carabinieri, having served in several peace-keeping missions in the last three decades.

Targets
The CoESPU targets are:
to operate training programs, including “train the trainer” courses and “Mobile Assistance Teams” (MATs)
to promote interoperability principles, also providing interoperability training with the military forces and other components;
to develop common doctrine and operational procedures;
to be active part of the doctrinal network worldwide, interacting with International Organizations, academic institutes and research centers in the relevant areas

The Center is open to all those countries, particularly the African ones, interested in establishing their own Stability Police Units (SPUs), and employ those units in PSOs under the UN or other international organizations.

Doctrinal Hub
Working as a “doctrinal hub”, the aim of the Center is to develop doctrine and common operational procedures for the employment of Stability Police Units in PSOs.
Multinational linkages have been established with the most active institution in the peacekeeping area, such as the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), the Pearson Peacekeeping Centre, the Defense Institute for International Legal Studies, and the US Peacekeeping Support Operation Institute.

Moreover, the Center is the “facilitator” of the Stability Police Units area in the newly created internet portal “INPROL” (International Network to Promote the Rule of Law).

International seminars and workshops have been organized to spread and share the acquired knowledge with other bodies, first of all with the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations. Two “UN Formed Police Units Command Development seminars”, sponsored by DPKO have been hosted at CoESPU, with the participation of UN Police Commissioners, FPU Commanders, FPU Coordinators from several UN Missions, along with members of NATO, EU, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, United States Institute of Peace (USIP) and other organizations.

Down on His Luck is an 1889 painting by the Australian artist Frederick McCubbin. It depicts a disheartened swagman, sitting by a campfire in the bush and sadly brooding over his misfortune. According to an 1889 review, "The face tells of hardships, keen and blighting in their influence, but there is a nonchalant and slightly cynical expression, which proclaims the absence of all self-pity ... McCubbin's picture is thoroughly Australian in spirit." The surrounding bush is painted in subdued tones, reflecting his somber and contemplative mood.

The artist's model was Louis Abrahams, a friend and successful tobacconist in Melbourne who earlier supplied the cigar box lids for the famous 9 by 5 Impression Exhibition. The scene was staged near the Box Hill artists' camp outside Melbourne, but it is thought that McCubbin would have made additional studies of Abrahams under studio conditions.

The painting was owned by William Fergusson until it was purchased in 1896 by the Art Gallery of Western Australia in  Perth.

On 19 January 2023, the painting was defaced by activists who painted a Woodside Petroleum logo on the Perspex case in which the painting was hung at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. The act was in protest to what they claimed to be the imminent destruction of sacred indigenous rock art sites by Woodside's operations in the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia. The painting was undamaged.

In Roma communities in North America and some areas of Europe, the rom baro () is the tribal leader. He earns his position through merit, and his decisions ‒ although considered wise ‒ do not have the automatic approval of the community. Other factors in the selection of a rom baro include knowledge of the language of the areas of planned travel and resourcefulness in emergency situations.

Etymology
The term baro is of Indic origin, and implies not only "big", but also powerful and important. Some Canadian and American Roma groups have substituted the term shato, a contraction of O Baro Shato, "the bigshot".

Tribal Leaders
The rom baro are chosen by their communities; the main criteria for choosing a rom baro is their intelligence and a sense of fairness. The leaders are usually older in age, as the older a Roma is, the better knowledge of Roma law and traditions they are viewed as having. They act as advisors for the king of their respective tribe or company and are usually fairly wealthy. A rom baro is elected for life and the position is not inheritable. The rom baro are the head of their patriarchal groups known as familias but, their authority extends far beyond their own familias, encompassing their respective tribes or companies (). The role of the rom baro is to handle all the internal problems in their tribe or company such as disagreements in work, marriage, family relations, trials, funerals, etc., while also, dealing with Gadjo (non-Roma) authorities in making sure their tribe is in good standing with the American law, arranging work, and handling outside pressures to assimilate. While the rom baro has a considerable amount of power and influence among their Roma tribe (), they are still subject to the Roma law and the Kris (Romani court). A rom baro who fails to provide for his community or breaks the Roma law will be removed from his position by the Kris. This includes getting in trouble with gadje authorities and revealing Roma secrets which will make them not only lose their position, but also be outcast from the tribe and considered impure.

Notable rom baros
Jimmy Marks; the rom baro of the Spokane Roma until he was deposed for getting in trouble with the law and revealing the secrets of the Roma.

Foreign Language Specialized School (Vietnamese: Trường Trung học phổ thông chuyên Ngoại ngữ), commonly known as FLSS or CNN, is a national public magnet high school/university-preparatory school in Hanoi, Vietnam. A part of VNU University of Languages and International Studies, the school is one of the four national gifted high schools in Hanoi, along with the HNUE Gifted High School, the VNU-HUS High School for Gifted Students, and the Social Science and Humanities Gifted High School. Currently, FLSS is Vietnam's only high school specialized in teaching foreign languages (including Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Russian). Students can also choose to study Italian and Spanish as a second language. Similar to other national magnet high schools, FLSS is recognized for its strong academic programs and its vast majority (98-100%) of graduates attending the most prestigious universities in Vietnam and abroad.

FLSS ranks third nationally in the 2012 Vietnam university admission ranking. Admission to FLSS is by competitive examination only, which until 2016 consisted of three subjects: specialized foreign language (self-declared by examinees), mathematics, and literature. Since 2017, the admission process has adopted a more comprehensive approach. There are now three parts to the admission exams: one on declared foreign language, one on mathematics and natural science subjects, and one on literature and social science subjects. Non-English language exams require an interview round beside the written tests. FLSS is one of the most selective high schools in Vietnam with an acceptance rate of approximately 12.2% in 2021.

A student from FLSS/CNN is usually referred to as a CNNer or a FLSSington.

Kooba Radio was an independent, non-profit, Internet-based radio station focused on alternative rock, playing unsigned bands and artists with independent record labels. Kooba is PRS (Performing Right Society) registered and played to a listenership in over 20 countries.

Created 21 December 2002, Kooba Radio began was principally based in South East London. Starting initially with founders Jon Chappell (Jonny Yeah), Alex Malloy (The Boy Malloy) and She Who Must Not Be Named, the main ethos behind the station was "if you've signed, you've sold out" with a strong impetus towards the promotion of promising bands hitherto ignored by major record labels. This slogan was abandoned when it became prevalent that bands would release their music on their own labels.

The flagship show of the station is the Jonny and Alex Show, originally featuring the principal founders (Jon and Alex) with the added participation of both occasional and regular guests appearing on a random basis. The content of the show, which often takes on the feel of the zoo format features occasional comedy sketches, irreverent chat, interviews and guest performances from musicians.

One of the many local scenes from South East London which Kooba helped promote was the Basement Rock movement.

The station started out with a once a week show which streamed on-demand over the Internet using SHOUTcast via a link on the website. It has since greatly expanded its listening audience following the advent of the popular podcast broadcast platform, going on to be noted in Time Out London's Podcast of the Week in 2006.

The style of music played on the shows is varied and includes alt rock, electro, post rock, punk, post punk, classic rock, metal, folk, pronk, hip hop, rock and roll, comedy, blues, experimental and a myriad of other styles.

Christathon

By far Kooba's most successful creation is Christathon – Kooba Radio’s annual crucifixion themed pub crawl.

Christathon went viral in 2011 leading to media attention from timeout and AllInLondon.

Although Kooba Radio closed in 2012 another Christathon is planned for Easter Sunday 2014, this time organised by people unaffiliated to Kooba Radio.

Station Closure

Kooba Radio ceased recording new shows at the end of 2012, marking the end of a decade broadcasting unsigned bands and new music.
The last show-proper was the run down of the 2012 Band of the Year Competition. This will be followed by Christathon 2013 and a 1-off live special later in 2013.

The Gerry Ryan Show (often referred to as The Ryan Show, The G. Ryan Show or GRS) was RTÉ 2fm's mid-morning radio show. Presented by Gerry Ryan until hours before his sudden death, it was launched in March 1988 and ran from nine until midday on weekday mornings.

Described by the BBC as "a de facto forum for the nation, the radio equivalent of The Late Late Show on RTÉ television", the show, in its later years, popularised the satire of Nob Nation, spawned the cross-media event Operation Transformation and provided a launchpad for the career of Ryan Tubridy. Siobhan Hough was resident producer of the show.

Sponsorship
At the time of his death Ryan had the largest audience on RTÉ 2fm. He presented the station's only show which was regularly among the top twenty Irish radio shows in Ireland, a show which commanded around €4-5 million for RTÉ per annum, mainly through advertising (one thirty-second advertisement during the show cost €900). This meant RTÉ would have earned €27,000 through advertising per day.

In March 2008 RTÉ's difficulties in securing a sponsor for a number of their radio shows was placed under the spotlight. The Gerry Ryan Show was one of the shows given away for cheaper than the normal rates.

Format
The show consisted of topical interviews and phone-ins via the "Ryan Line". Ryan began by discussing the headlines of that morning's newspapers. Following the news update at 10:00, he introduced that morning's Nob Nation, a satirical slot which featured impersonations of politicians and RTÉ media personnel comparable to rival station Today FM's Gift Grub. GRS was preceded by the ever-changing breakfast slot, currently occupied by The Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show. Stand-in presenters included Gareth O'Callaghan, Rick O'Shea, Jenny Huston, Avril Hoare and even axed breakfast host, Marty Whelan. There were also contributions from Evelyn O'Rourke, Brenda Donohue, Valerie Sweeney, Fiona Looney (weekly) and Jenny Huston. Looney and Ryan's fondness for one another led to Looney being dubbed Ryan's "on-air wife".

Willie O'Reilly was the show's executive producer until June 1999, and was chief executive of Today FM at Ryan's death.

History

1988–1994
Ryan found the time period around the start of GRS exciting - "the whole machine shook... it was like the space-shuttle engines starting up". The defining moment of the show came in 1993. When Levinia Kerwick was raped and her rapist was convicted but given a suspended sentence, she rang GRS to air her feelings. For the first time it occurred to Ryan that the story was more important than the question. Following this, The Ryan Show became something of a national institution as the oldest show still running on 2fm.

1995–2000
In 1997, Ryan's wife Morah, from whom he later separated, phoned her husband's show and, under the name Norah, told half a million listeners that her husband dumps his underpants on the floor before hopping into bed every night, doesn't put his clothes on hangers, had not cleaned the dog's mess from the back yard for weeks and never puts the rubbish out for the dustbin men. When she was done she asked her husband: "You would do that now, wouldn't you Gerry?" The interview was nearing its finish when he realised what was happening after hearing his crew laughing in the Montrose control room. An embarrassed Ryan informed his listeners: "This is my wife talking".

In November 1999, RTÉ broadcaster Paddy O'Gorman "outraged the medical establishment" after an appearance on The Gerry Ryan Show to discuss World AIDS Day when he said that AIDS was not a heterosexual disease, but exclusively a gay one.

2001–2007
Broadcaster Ryan Tubridy began his career with The Gerry Ryan Show, working as a teaboy before obtaining his own breakfast show, The Full Irish, a programme which Gerry Ryan once claimed was "the most exciting broadcast at that hour of the morning since Ian Dempsey started on Today FM". Ryan has since stated his belief that it was "a giant act of folly" for Ryan Tubridy to move to RTÉ Radio 1. Ryan viewed Tubridy as "kind of like a son" whom he used to (and still does) lecture frequently. He said he begged him "on bended knees" and "over whiskey" to stay with 2fm but at the same time Ryan was impressed that Tubridy was willing to compete with him directly.

Tubridy has credited Ryan with being "one of the few gentlemen in [RTÉ]", saying he had been "very kind to me when I started out in RTÉ making tea and coffee and right all the way up to the very day I got The Late Late Show job".

In 2004, Ryan was the subject of controversy when he cancelled an interview with the Taoiseach of the time, Bertie Ahern. Ahern had agreed to appear on The Gerry Ryan Show after the delivery of that year's government budget but moments before he set off for RTÉ's Donnybrook headquarters, the show's producers rang his office and informed aides that they no longer wished to interview him. Associates of the Taoiseach were said to be "fuming" over the affair, saying "you can't just ask for an interview with the most powerful man in the country and then ditch him as if he was some stand-in celebrity." Ahern was replaced by RTÉ's economics reporter George Lee.

2008–2010
A complaint against a July 2008 programme which featured an author reading about life as a homosexual prostitute was upheld by the Broadcasting Complaints Commission.

On 12 September 2008, Ryan invited listeners to text in their reasons for loving Ireland in an attempt to dispel all the bad-weathered, financially troubling and futuristically worrying news that was dominating the headlines at the time. 50 of these reasons were later published on the show's website. These included the scenery, Guinness, potatoes, the seas and coastline, whiskey, Barry's and Lyon's tea, Kimberley and Mikado biscuits, the smell of turf, red hair, homemade brown bread, oysters, Baileys coffee, hurling, Irish comedians, Irish history, the River Shannon, Podge and Rodge, Irish literature, bacon and cabbage, Irish stew and the GAA. Some of the choices had connections to the show such as the show itself, Riverdance (first introduced to the world by the presenter) and, although not the case at the time, The Late Late Show, which Ryan presented the following month.

Despite repeated reshuffles which have seen all other presenters shifted around, RTÉ never moved The Ryan Show from its traditional slot. After a brief period of decline in his audience, all of the recent JNLR figures showed a consistent and significant increase in his listenership - with his audience growing by almost 15% in the course of the past year (The Irish Times, 16 May 2008). The Green Day single "Know Your Enemy" received its first play on Irish radio on The Gerry Ryan Show on 16 April 2009.

During the February 2009 snowfall Ryan reminded his listeners of a similar snowfall in 1982, when the Government even appointed Tánaiste and Labour party leader Michael O'Leary as the Minister for Snow.

". . .the nation seemed to go into collective shock when the biggest snow fall in 40 years hit this country", read Ryan from a report of the chaos caused. "Taoiseach Garret Fitzgerald even cut short his sun holiday in the Canary Islands as the country came to a standstill. The snow was up to 1.5 meters deep in some areas and temperatures dropped as low as minus 7 degrees. Gale force easterly winds caused electricity to be knocked out in many areas and businesses and schools closed all across the country."

Ryan attracted a complaint for using "coarse language" whilst debating on blasphemy on 29 April 2009. The presenter asked: "Would it be considered blasphemous if someone said on air that 'God is a bollocks?'" but the complaint was later rejected.

A 45-year-old caller from Dublin gave an interview in November 2009 about urges he had to stalk, rape and murder women, including air hostesses at Dublin Airport. The interview led to a garda investigation.

Ryan was reported to be upset in March 2010 when his long-serving producer Siobhan Hough was moved to The Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show.

His death on 30 April 2010 brought about the end of The Gerry Ryan Show. Fiona Looney presented the show that day prior to the discovery of his corpse in his Leeson Street apartment. Two tribute shows were presented by Evelyn O'Rourke and Brenda Donohue on 1 May and 4 May. Ruth Scott presented the three-hour slot from 5 May until 7 May, described by RTÉ as "an appropriate music programme". The Colm and Lucy Show then began for one month on 10 May.

The final JNLR figures for The Gerry Ryan Show, released less than a month after Ryan's death, showed the radio programme was Ireland's most listened to among the 20-44 market at this time. This led to Siobhan O'Connell, writing in The Irish Timess financial section, to call any new show in that slot "the biggest prize right now in radio".

Operation Transformation

The now cross-media event Operation Transformation originated on The Gerry Ryan Show.

Undercurrents
In 2010, Ryan launched Undercurrents, a Friday slot airing unsigned unplaylisted Irish acts who then had their details published on his website. The Irish Independents John Meagher disagreed that this was typical of RTÉ 2fm and Gerry Ryan.

A spin-off show of the demoed songs premiered on RTÉ 2XM on 5 March 2010, presented by GRS researcher John Bela Reilly.

Following Ryan's untimely death on 30 April 2010, Meagher hoped Undercurrents would be continued by his replacement as "it was a most worthwhile initiative to help young bands garner significant airplay".

Pat's Hubba Hubba, now known simply as "Hubba's", is a late-night greasy spoon chili restaurant located at 24 North Main Street in the village of Port Chester in Westchester County, New York. Near the New York-Connecticut border, Hubba's caters to the local bar scene by staying open until 5:00 am on the weekends, and at least 3:00 am on weeknights.

History
The restaurant was originally known as "Texas Quick Lunch", and was owned by Edna Kaplan and operated by Mildred Meade. Pat Carta bought the storefront location of the former Texas Quick Lunch in 1989 and changed the name to "Ricks orange", the same as his original restaurant in the "Chickahominy" section of Greenwich, Connecticut. He expanded the menu from simple chili and chili dogs (known locally as "Texas hots") to variants including the  popular chili cheese fries.

By the early to mid-1990s, Carta opened a second location at 820 Cove Road, in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut.A third location followed, also in Stamford, at 189 Bedford Street, in the heart of the downtown bar district, now Capriccio Cafe. The restaurant in Port Chester is now owned by Carlos Magan and was renamed to simply "Hubba's".

Menu

The main ingredient in most of Hubba's dishes is chili, which is made with ground beef, hot chili peppers, and little else. Hubba's chili contains no beans, tomatoes, or vegetables of any kind. Meals are served with "Hubba Water", tap water with a bit of Hawaiian Punch added in.

Atmosphere
The inside of Hubba's is long and narrow. There are 13 counter stools bolted to the floor, where one can sit at the counter. Menu items are written in marker on paper plates, tacked onto the walls which are papered with dollar bills.

Naming conventions
One note of contention among frequenters is the name by which the restaurant should be called.  While most areas call the establishment by its present name, "Hubba's"; the residents of certain nearby communities, such as Larchmont, Mamaroneck, and New Rochelle, still use the name "Pat's". Old timers – that is, anyone who was a patron before 1989 – still call it "Texas Lunch", or alternatively, just "Texas".

In the media
Included in Jane and Michael Stern's book, Roadfood: The Coast-to-Coast Guide to 800 of the Best Barbecue Joints, Lobster Shacks, Ice Cream Parlors, Highway Diners, and Much, Much More (2014), as a Top Pick. and in their website, Roadfood.com, as a "Must eat".
Mentioned by Chris Stanley on the Ron and Fez Show on November 2, 2009, as having "amazing" food, especially the chili and RC Cola.

Singer-songwriter Billy Vera directly mentions the restaurant (referring to it as "Texas Lunch") and its chili dogs in the opening monologue of his 1981 (live) recording "Millie, Make Some Chili" (credited to Billy and the Beaters).  The "Millie" in the song presumably refers to (Mildred) Meade, although Vera calls her "Millie Kaplan" in the monologue, reflecting her maiden name, as she was the sister of restaurant owner Edna Kaplan.
Mentioned in a Bill Simmons mailbag as a personal favorite for food after a late night pub crawl.

Woon Wing Yip OBE (born December 1937) is a Hong Kong-born British entrepreneur, best known for having started the Wing Yip supermarket chain.

Early life
A Hakka born in December 1937, in British Hong Kong. Yip arrived in Hull, England from Hong Kong in 1959 with £2. He then worked and later started his own restaurants in the East Anglia region of England, in towns such as Clacton and Ipswich.

Wing-Yip
Yip had the ability to speak English and he knew that food wholesale business is more profitable than running a Chinese takeaway. Therefore, in 1969, he founded the Wing Yip supermarket in Birmingham. The Wing Yip business has since branched out into property development, management and investment, with more than 60 commercial and residential tenants around the country. The property portfolio is now worth around £23 million. With an annual turnover of £80 million, he became the first Anglo-Chinese tycoon in United Kingdom.

Other achievements
Yip is also a philanthropist who has among other acts of generosity, endowed several bursaries and scholarships for university students from both the UK and China, administered through the W Wing Yip and Brothers Charitable Trust. In 2008 Yip was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Birmingham City University. He was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours.

The White Grass Ranger Station includes several structures in the backcountry of Grand Teton National Park that were established to support horse patrols by park rangers.  Built in 1930, White Grass is the only surviving horse patrol station in the park.  The station, which includes a cabin, several sheds and a corral, was built to a standardized National Park Service plan, in the National Park Service rustic style.

The White Grass station was built immediately after the establishment of Grand Teton National Park in 1929, and was one of the first structures built by the National Park Service to establish a park service presence in the area. Other patrol cabins existed in the park, but these were inherited from the U.S. Forest Service, which administered Teton National Forest, from which the park was created. The ranger station's exterior remains essentially the same as the original construction, but the interior has been altered several times and does not retain  historical significance.

The White Grass station stands at the western edge of the White Grass district of Grand Teton, southwest of Moose, Wyoming. The station is sited in a small clearing in the trees, with a buffer of vegetation between it and a nearby parking lot.

The White Grass Ranger Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.

Andrei Alexandrovich Novoselov (born 24 November 1989) is a Russian pair skater. Competing for France with Lola Esbrat, he has won three international medals and is the 2018 French national champion. Earlier, he represented Russia with Tatiana Novik, Tatiana Danilova, and Sabina Imaikina.

Career for Russia
Novoselov began learning to skate in 1993.

Partnership with Imaikina
In 2007, Novoselov began competing on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series with Sabina Imaikina. The following year, they won two silver medals on the JGP series and qualified for the 2008–09 JGP Final, where they placed 5th. At the 2009 Russian Championships, the pair placed fifth on the senior level and took bronze on the junior level. They were coached by Valeri Tiukov and Valentina Tiukova in Perm. They parted ways at the end of the season.

Partnership with Danilova

Novoselov teamed up with Tatiana Danilova later in 2009. The pair was coached by Inna Utkina in Moscow. They placed 8th at the 2010 Russian Junior Championships and appeared on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series the following season, placing 4th in Austria and 6th in Germany. Competing on the senior level, they won the silver medal at the 2010 Golden Spin of Zagreb.

Danilova was unable to skate for a year following a shoulder operation so she told Novoselov that he could look for another partner.

Partnership with Novik
In 2011, Novoselov began skating with Tatiana Novik. They placed fourth at the 2011 Ice Challenge and eighth at the 2012 Russian Championships before winning the 2012 Toruń Cup. The pair entered the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, intending to represent Romania, but did not compete at the event.

The infernal columns (French: colonnes infernales) were operations led by the French Revolutionary general Louis Marie Turreau in the War in the Vendée, after the failure of the Royalist Virée de Galerne. Following the passage on 1 August 1793 and 1 October 1793 by the National Convention of laws, the National Convention stated that the goal was to exterminate "brigands" in the area south of the river Loire (the so-called Vendée), 12 army columns were formed and sent through the Vendée to exterminate the local anti-Republican population. In January 1794, Turreau wrote to the National Convention's Minister for War, to lay out his proposed tactics: "My purpose is to burn everything, to leave nothing but what is essential to establish the necessary quarters for exterminating the rebels." It has been estimated that from 16,000 to 40,000 inhabitants were killed during the first quarter of 1794.

The employment and actions of these "infernal columns" continues to be a subject of heated debate, both in France and abroad. French historian Reynald Secher has gone so far as to characterise their operations as a "Franco-French genocide," while Claude Langlois of the Institute of History of the French Revolution has derided Secher's claims as "quasi-mythological." The debate has become highly politicized. The term 'infernal column' has also been used for a similar movement in the Voulet-Chanoine Mission.

The SSV Jahn Regensburg II is the reserve team of German association football club SSV Jahn Regensburg from the city of Regensburg, Bavaria.

The team's currently plays in the southern division of the Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system It first played in the Bayernliga in 1962–63, with the league then being the third tier of the league system.

History
The reserve team of Jahn Regensburg first rose to prominence when it played at the highest Bavarian level, then the tier three Bayernliga, for a season in 1962–63, courtesy to a title in the 2nd Amateurliga Niederbayern in 1962. The side then played under the name of SSV Jahn Regensburg Amateure and came thirteenth in the southern division of the league and was immediately relegated as the league was reduced from two to one division that season. With the decline of the senior team which was relegated from the tier two 2nd Oberliga Süd to the Bayernliga in 1963 the reserve side quickly disappeared into regional football again.

The team returned to Bayernliga level in 2002 when it took up the spot of SG Post/Süd Regensburg in the league, the later having joined Jahn that year, now playing as Jahn Regensburg II as the senior team was not a professional side anymore. The team finished in mid-table for the next four seasons in this league but was forced to step down to the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte in 2006 after the senior team itself had been relegated to the Bayernliga once more.

While the first team returned to the Regionalliga Süd immediately the following year Jahn II spend the next six seasons in the Landesliga. The last three of those the team came close to promotion on each occasion but it took until 2012 for the side to move up to the Bayernliga again. With the later league expanded once more to two divisions the team was grouped in the southern one for the first season. In 2013 the side was then transferred to the northern division where it played for three seasons until 2016 when it moved back to the south.

The SG Post/Süd Regensburg was a German association football club from the city of Regensburg, Bavaria. The club is still active in many sports, having twenty-two separate departments, but no longer fields a football side since that department left to merge with Jahn Regensburg in 2002.

History
Formed in 1928, the club made its first notable appearance on the German football scene when it qualified for the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) competition in 1981, then under the name Post SV Regensburg as a fifth division Bezirksliga side. Away at Tennis Borussia Berlin, the team left a good impression, losing to the Oberliga Berlin (III) club 4–3 in Berlin. That same season, 1981–82, the club won promotion to the tier-four Landesliga Bayern-Mitte as well.

It played only a Landesliga single season, but was back two years later, for an eleven-year stint from 1985 to 1996. As an additional attraction, the league often included local powerhouse Jahn Regensburg which had fallen on hard times. In 1988, the club merged with TSG Süd Regensburg to form the SG Post/Süd Regensburg.

After a number of seasons spent mid-table, the club began to improve in 1993 and earned promotion to the Oberliga Bayern in 1996 after winning a Landesliga title. It managed to stay at this level for three seasons, a third place in 1997–98 being the absolute highlight. In the 1997–98 season, former German international Dieter Eckstein played for the club. The team also made another appearance in the German Cup in 1998. Twice in this era, the club was coached by Karsten Wettberg, one of the most successful coaches in Bavarian amateur football, having six Bavarian championships in his name.

The season after, it was relegated from the Oberliga but managed to break the fall and remain a good Landesliga side. In 2002, the club earned promotion to the Oberliga once more, but refused the move, instead merging its football department with Jahn Regensburg and becoming that club's reserve side, playing in the Oberliga. Parent club SG Post/Süd still exists, but no longer has a football department.

Kamisado is an abstract strategy board game for two players that's played on an 8x8 multicoloured board. Each player controls a set of eight octagonal dragon tower pieces. Each player's set of dragon towers contains a tower to match each of the colours that appear on the squares of the board (i.e., a brown tower, a green tower, etc.). One player's towers have gold dragons mounted on the top, while the other player's towers are topped with black dragons.

Origin
In an interview, designer Peter Burley said that the design of Kamisado dated back to a chance observation in a men's room in the 1970s. "I noticed that the floor had an interesting pattern of small colored tiles", he said. "I mentally made a note that this could possibly be used as a basis for a board game – this is something that I do quite a lot, whenever I see something a bit different. It must have made a deep impression on this occasion, however, because that night I had a vivid dream involving this tile pattern, and somehow the notion of 'whatever colour you land on, your opponent must move a piece that matches this'. I guess my subconscious mind had been working on this and sorted it out while I was asleep."

Gameplay
The players' towers start the game on the row nearest to them. The players take turns moving one tower any number of spaces in a straight line, either directly forwards or diagonally forwards, but not into or through a square already containing another dragon tower.

The player with the black dragons moves first and may choose any tower. From this point onwards, each player must move the dragon tower that matches the colour of the square that the opponent's last move finished on. The object of the game is to reach your opponent's Home Row with one of your dragon towers. The first player to achieve this goal is the winner of the round.

Games may be played as single rounds, or as more advanced 'Match' formats. Matches are played up to 3 points (Standard Match), 7 points (Long Match) or 15 points (Marathon Match). During a match, each time a round is won, a special 'Sumo Ring' is added to the dragon tower that has fought its way through to the opponent's Home Row. The sumo rings provide the scoring system for the game, and also endow special powers to the dragon towers that carry them. These towers are known as Sumo towers and have the ability to push opponent's towers back one space, by using a move known as a 'Sumo Push'.

Veronica Buckley (born 1956) is a writer and biographer. She was born in Christchurch, New Zealand. In 1979 she graduated from the University of Canterbury with first class honours in French with philosophy, and was awarded a postgraduate scholarship in cultural and social history at the University of London. Before embarking on her writing career she worked as a musician, and as a technical writer and information management specialist in the IT industry.

Following doctoral research in Modern History at Oxford University, Buckley wrote her first scholarly biography, about Queen Christina.  Christina, Queen of Sweden: The Restless Life of a European Eccentric, was published in 2004, and translated into eight languages. It was rated one of the 20 best non-fiction books of the year by The Telegraph.

Buckley's second book, Madame de Maintenon: The Secret Wife of Louis XIV, was published by Bloomsbury in July 2008. It is a biography of Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon, who rose from the humblest of beginnings to become the morganatic wife of the Sun King, and highly influential at his Court. In April 2008, the first edition was recalled and reprinted because of erroneous references to a literary work. A press article in The Guardian "exposed" the error, despite the fact that it had already been corrected. The book went on to win a broadly positive critical reception though Buckley was criticised by some reviewers for her interpretation of her subject's religious views.

Buckley lived in Paris and Vienna, but currently lives in Los Angeles.  She is married to the writer Philipp Blom.

Biography
Sangsun was born in Karot, Manggarai district, Flores, in the present-day nation of Indonesia on June 14, 1943. He was ordained a Roman Catholic priest on July 12, 1972.

He flew to Rome and the Vatican in September 2008 to take part in the vow-taking ceremony of Dominican nuns. He was hospitalized while in Rome.  Italian doctors advised Sangsun to have heart surgery while in Italy. Sangsun declined saying he would rather undergo the procedure in Indonesia.

Sangsun arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia, on October 8, 2008, and was hospitalized on October 10. He died at the Pantai Indah Kapuk Hospital in North Jakarta of a heart attack on October 13, 2008, at the age of 65.

An ileosigmoid knot is a form of volvulus in which ileum wraps around the base of the sigmoid and passes beneath itself forming a knot.

The exact cause of this condition is not known. Patients usually present with clinical features of colonic obstruction. Vomiting, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, blood stained stools are frequent symptoms. It is difficult to diagnose this condition before surgery. Raveenthiran described a triad which may be useful in preoperative diagnosis. The triad includes 1). Clinical features suggestive of small bowel obstruction, 2). Radiological features suggestive of large bowel obstruction, 3). Inability to negotiate sigmoidoscope or a flatus tube. This is a surgical emergency that requires urgent resection of gangrenous bowel and untwisting of the volvulus.

Francis Gastrell (10 May 1662 – 24 November 1725) was Bishop of Chester and a writer on deism. He was a friend of Jonathan Swift, mentioned several times in A Journal to Stella, and chaplain to Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer, when Harley was Speaker of the House of Commons.

Life

He was born on 10 May 1662 at Slapton, Northamptonshire and educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford. He was Boyle Lecturer in 1697.

One of a group of Tory High Churchmen, he was on good terms with Francis Atterbury, George Smalridge and Robert Nelson, and one of the Commission of the end of the reign of Queen Anne. In 1714, the year of her death, he became bishop of Chester through Harley's influence (consecrated on 14 April of that year in Somerset House Chapel). When Atterbury was put on trial in 1723, Gastrell spoke in his defence.

He was a noted controversialist, but considered to hold moderate views. He criticised Anthony Collins, but was quite approving of John Locke. He criticised the Trinitarian theories of William Sherlock as innovative.

As a diocesan bishop, he is noted for the fine-grained survey he made of every parish, published in the nineteenth century as Notitia Cestriensis. Along with it was published the so-called Gastrell Manuscript, or Chronicle of St. Werburg, edited by F. R. Raines.

He died from gout on 24 November 1725.
