Colegiul Naţional Mihai Eminescu Oradea (Mihai Eminescu National College) is a high school located in Oradea, Bihor County, Romania. It is named after Mihai Eminescu, the national poet, and is one of the most prestigious schools in Bihor County.

History
The school was founded as an institution on 2 December 1699. From 1717 the institution worked as a Jesuit school, and from 1874 as a archigymnasium with the language of Latin teaching, gardianshiped by the Order of Canons Premonstratens. At this archigymnasium (in German Obergymnasium) was also the first Chair of Romanian language in Oradea, which was held by teachers: Alexandru Roman, Dionisie Grasscuţiu and Constantin Pavel. Another brilliant professor of the Oradea Archgymnasium was Károly Irén József, who established the telegraphic connection between Oradea and Sânmartin inside the school building. He also brought in Oradea the first Röntgen apparatus and contributed to the project elaboration for the tram line into the city. In the location of this school, functioned for a while the Academy of Law, which enjoyed the presence of famous names among its teachers: Iosif Vulcan, Emanuil Gojdu, Aurel Lazăr, and others. In the interwar period, functioned the Romanian-Hungarian Commercial High School also until 1924 the Faculty of Law. In 1959, through the unification of the Hungarian Classic Mixed High School with "Oltea Doamna" Romanian High School for Girls, was founded the High School of Philology and History which in 1990 it has become the "Mihai Eminescu" Theoretical High School. Since the school year 1999-2000, the school has been named "Mihai Eminescu" National College, a name that, even better, marks the status of a representative school in Bihor County. Throughout the years, the school has been visited by outstanding cultural personalities such as Mircea Zaciu, Augustin Buzura, Eugen Simion, Eugen Uricaru, Ana Blandiana, Nicolae Manolescu. The College also received the visit of Takayuki Ando, Minister of Education, Science and Culture of Japan.

Carl Andrew "Andy" Capasso (September 10, 1945 – March 14, 2001) was a sewer contractor, who was convicted of tax fraud. He was later accused of bribing judge Hortense Gabel by arranging, for the judge's daughter Sukhreet Gabel, a job with Bess Myerson. Myerson was indicted and resigned her positions with the City of New York, but was ultimately acquitted. The scandal was the subject of When She Was Bad, a book by Shana Alexander published in 1991.

Biography
Capasso was born in Brooklyn on September 10, 1945 to Josephine and Michael E. Capasso. He married Nancy Herbert in 1966.

Capasso started a construction company, Nanco Contracting Corporation, and won several contracts in New York City for sewer repair. In 1987, he was charged with writing off $1.2 million in renovations on his two Manhattan apartments as business expenses; and for receiving $300,000 in fraudulent damage claims against his own company without paying taxes on the income.

Capasso was convicted of tax evasion and his company was barred from working for New York City.

Capasso then served a four-year federal prison sentence at Federal Correctional Complex, Allenwood. In 1989 he used a front company to win a new contract.

Capasso started dating Bess Myerson, and when his wife learned of the affair, they divorced. He was ordered to pay $1,500 a week in support by Judge Hortense Gabel. Capasso had Bess Myerson hire the daughter of Judge Gabel at the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs. Gabel then lowered his support payments to $500 a week.   He died of pancreatic cancer on March 14, 2001 at age 55. He is buried in Southampton Cemetery.

HiperDispatch is a workload dispatching feature found in recent IBM mainframe models (the System z10 and IBM zEnterprise System processors and later models) running recent releases of z/OS. HiperDispatch was introduced in February 2008. Support was added to z/VM in its V6R3 release on July 26, 2013.

One of the engineering challenges with large SMP server designs is to maintain near-linear scalability as the number of CPUs increases. Performance and throughput do not double when doubling the number of processors. There are many overhead factors, including contention for cache and main memory access. These overhead factors become increasingly difficult to mitigate as the number of CPUs increases. The design goal for delivering maximum performance is to minimize those overhead factors. Each new mainframe model supports a higher maximum number of CPUs (up to 64 main processors in a single System z10 mainframe for example), so this engineering challenge becomes ever more important.

HiperDispatch helps address the problem through a combination of hardware features, z/OS dispatching, and the z/OS Workload Manager. In z/OS there may be tasks waiting for processing attention, such as transaction programs. Each task requires frequent access to memory. In a large SMP design such as System z, some CPUs are physically "closer" with faster access to cache memory that might hold supporting data for particular tasks. HiperDispatch exploits this fact and steers tasks to the CPUs most likely to have the fastest access to relevant data already in cache. If that particular CPU is busy, HiperDispatch will, at first, wait for it to finish its other task, even if another less favorable CPU is idle. However, there are limitations to how patient HiperDispatch will be, as governed by Workload Manager goals. If z/OS Workload Manager senses that there's a risk the pending task will miss its service level (responding within a certain number of milliseconds to a user request for example), Workload Manager and HiperDispatch will send the task over to an idle CPU for processing, even if that CPU must fetch data from slower main memory.

Benefit

HiperDispatch offers very little CPU savings benefit on machines configured with a relatively small number of CPUs. However, the feature does help very significantly as the CPU count increases. IBM mainframe capacity tables (and thus its software pricing) are all based on the assumption that HiperDispatch is active.

The other benefit of HiperDispatch - "parking" logical CPUs so that the number of CPUs on which z/OS dispatches work more closely matches the LPAR's weight - is applicable to even small machine configurations. (The benefit of this is the reduction of the "short engine" effect, making system performance more responsive.

Implementation

Workload Manager (WLM) must be configured correctly for HiperDispatch to work well. Some mainframe users have latent problems with their WLM goal settings which are only exposed with HiperDispatch, so there is an option to disable HiperDispatch in those cases where mainframe users do not want to correct those issues right away. However, regardless of whether HiperDispatch is on or off, it's important for installations to maintain their WLM policy.

z/OS System Resource Manager (SRM)
To configure z/OS System Resource Manager, modify Parmlib-Member IEAOPTxx:
HIPERDISPATCH=YES|NO

YES - SRM should turn on HiperDispatch mode.
NO  - SRM should turn off HiperDispatch mode.

Partitions with more than 64 logical processors at IPL time are forced to run with HIPERDISPATCH=YES. After IPL, LPARs with more than 64 logical processors cannot switch into HIPERDISPATCH=NO.
In case of HIPERDISPATCH=YES (z196 and follow-on CPCs), IRD's VARY CPU management is automatically turned off, independent of the "VARYCPU"-specification.

Default value:
 up to z10-processor: No
 196 and follow-on CPCs: YES

Carl Hasenpflug (1802–1858) was a German artist who specialized in landscape painting, primarily the rendering of architecture.

Biography

Born in Berlin, Hasenpflug was first apprenticed as a shoemaker to his father, then to the decorative painter Carl Gropius. By 1822 he had become known as a painter of architectural subjects, with particular focus on the representation of medieval German churches, in which architectural details were first drawn in pen, then glazed over with oil paint. Favorite subjects included the cathedrals of Magdeburg and Halberstadt, where he lived from 1828.

After 1838 Hasenpflug concentrated on paintings of snow-covered ruins that combined factual observation with fantasy. "Snowdrifts in the Cloister of the Halberstadt Cathedral" (Städtisches Museum, Halberstadt), displays a more painterly manner than previous renderings, and evidences the artist's response not only to the subject's visual appeal, but also suggests the vulnerability of the medieval structure and the spiritual haven it represents. Other noted works include two views of Cologne Cathedral (1832–33), Erfurt Cathedral (1827), “Mediæval Castle Yard” (1842, Schwerin Gallery), and “Ruined Chapel” (Stettin Museum).

He died in Halberstadt in 1858.

Mali i Hekurave () is a massif in the Albanian Alps, within the limits of Tropojë municipality. Its main peak, Maja e Hekurave, rises to a height of .

Geology
Mali i Hekurave is bounded by the central valley of Valbona in the northeast, the basin of Tropojë in the southeast, and the basin of Nikaj-Mërtur in the southwest. The mountain is composed entirely of Triassic limestone and dolomite. Its sharp pyramidal shape is due to the numerous glacial cirques that stretch on almost all sides and descend step by step into the valley of Motinë from the northeast, into the trough of the Liqeni stream from the southeast, and the Selbicë stream from the west. Other peaks in the massif include Alshina , Maja e Zezë  and Maja e Dhive . The mountain mass is barren above , featuring only alpine pastures, while beech and cypress grow below this height.

The Ministry of Finance () is a Portuguese government ministry.

History
The Ministry of Finance has its origins on the Comptrollerships of the Exchequer (vedorias da Fazenda) created in the 14th century to run the State's financial affairs. After 1584, the comptrollerships are replaced by the Council of the Court of the Exchequer (Conselho do Tribunal da Fazenda). In 1761, the Royal Treasury (Erário Régio) is created, and it becomes the central department of State Finance.

The modern Ministry of Finance is created in 1788, then under the designation of Secretary of State for the Affairs of the Exchequer (Secretaria de Estado dos Negócios da Fazenda). In 1849, it turns into the Ministry of the Exchequer Affairs (Ministério dos Negócios da Fazenda), or simply Ministry of the Exchequer (Ministério da Fazenda).

In 1910, following the republican coup d'état, the department is renamed Ministry of Finance (Ministério das Finanças). Since then, the ministry has almost always kept that name, except for some brief periods in which it was called Ministry of Finance and Economic Coordination (Ministério das Finanças e da Coordenação Económica) in March–May 1974, Ministry of Economic Coordination (Ministério da Coordenação Económica) in May–June 1974, Ministry of Finance and Planning (Ministério das Finanças e do Plano) in 1980–1983, or Ministry of Finance and Public Administration (Ministério das Finanças e Administração Pública) in 2002–2005.

Busha () is a village situated in Podolia region in Ukraine, on the junction of the Murafa and Bushanka Rivers in Mohyliv-Podilskyi Raion in Vinnytsia Oblast, near the Moldovan border.

It got the status of a city in the early 17th century. In 1629 there were 2000 people living in this city.

History
Busha is known in history because of the Peace of Busza that was signed in this village between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire on September 23, 1617. During the mid-17th century, the city, situated in Bracław Voivodeship of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, was also the site of several battles between Poles and Ukrainian Cossacks.

The fortress
In the second half of the 17th century, a big fortress with 6 towers, belonging to an administrative and military unit of the Ukrainian Cossack state named Bratslav regiment, was built in the centre of the village.

During the Crossack-Polish War (1648–1657) the castle was attacked several times by the Polish army. In 1654 the castle couldn't hold its ground anymore and was destroyed completely.

The only thing left is one tower that adumbrates the strengths which the city had once.

The city's end
Despite being a strong defensive backing for the Ukrainian Crossack in the war, as in March 1654, for example, an attack of 3,000 Polish soldiers was successfully staved off, in November of the same year, the fortress was destroyed by an approximately 60,000-strong Polish army during the Russo-Polish war.

About 70 women fled from the fortress with their children and sheltered in another fortress nearby. The Polish refused to chase them because they already lost many of their soldiers as the fortresses inhabitants never gave up and rather died fighting than live in capture.

After the destruction of the castle, the city soon lost its status and was degraded to village.

Social and cultural background
Historical settlements in the area around Busha date back to several ancient civilizations, including Cucuteni-Trypillian culture (from the 11th century BC), Scythia (4800-3000 BC), Chernyakhov culture (2nd 5th century AD). From 400 800 AD, old East Slavic cultures arrived during the great Migration Period. In 1629, 2.000 people were living there.

The Podilla region in its entirety includes Ukrainians, Poles, Romanians and Armenians, as well as Germans. Besides Greek and Orthodox Catholics there is also a Jewish community which is, speaking about Ukraine in a whole, is the third biggest in Europe, according to the World Jewish Congress and have a long history in Podolia region according to JewishGen Ukraine SIG.

The cultural legacy of Busha consists of:
 5th century pagan temple
 ruins of the castle including a town hall and an old tower
 an old cemetery of the 18th century
 four archeological sites dating from the times of the Trypilian culture, Bronze Age, Iron Age, and the Scythian period
It also includes a park with neo-pagan sculptures. The Ukrainian government created the Buszy park historical cultural in 2000.

Furthermore, there are special caves that can be found, near the village. Until the 20th century they were covered with sand. That is why they were discovered quite recently. Even the Dalai Lama came there once and described it as a special place where Earth is connected with God and the Universe.

Today the village has around 850 inhabitants. Rural tourism in the form of ecotourism has been noticeable developing over the last years.

Image Mapping project
In 2013, the regional NGOs Pangeya Ultima and Nashe Podilla organized the Image Mapping project in Busha with help of EVS volunteers. Its aim is to uncover beautiful and interesting monuments and places that are not very popular amongst tourists yet. This is tried to be done by highlighting these spots with specially produced picture frames providing information for the visitor, while showing him an unhindered view onto the object.

Logistics
Every weekend on Saturday and Sunday a bus leaving Vinnytsia at 8:45am heads to the village of Busha. This timetable is only valid until November 19 in 2017.

The Consonant C are a Canadian alternative pop group formed in 2005 in Calgary. They are currently unsigned. They pull their influences from various genres of music including classical, jazz, punk rock and folk. Under the name The Summerwood Warren they co-organize and perform in monthly themed music and art shows, which bring together members from the Calgary arts community.

History
The Consonant C was formed by six friends in Calgary, Alberta. Clea Foofat and Laura Leif got their start as a duo. Jennifer Crighton and Jared Andres joined the band and the quartet recorded and released the five song EP Bunnyfish in December 2005. The EP was primarily songs that Clea Foofat and Laura Leif had written. The group then went on hiatus to pursue other projects and interests but came back together in 2006 with the addition of bassist Mark Connolley-Mendoza. The band's first show was opening for Montreal's Camaromance at a community hall in Calgary in the fall of 2006. Acoustic bassist Danny Vescarelly was the last member to join the group. The band began recording their first full-length album Capes and Crowns in May, 2007. It was recorded at a basement studio, Calgary's Outhouse, by engineer Grant Howarth. It was released August 19, 2007. The band toured the West Coast (with dates in the United States) following the completion of their album.

The band also works as The Summerwood Warren music collective to co-organize and participate in all-ages theme shows. The shows include musical events, performance art, and video pieces and are a mechanism for artists in Calgary to meet and make music and art together. They are mainly held at EMMedia. Each show follows a particular theme. Past themes have included a forest show, where the performers dressed as fauna, and a spelunking show, where the only light in the performance came from head lamps worn by the performers and flashlights audience members carried. The Summerwood Warren music collective acts a facilitator for Calgary's music community but hopes to expand and act as a point of contact for Canada-wide musicians looking to set up tours.

The band disbanded in early 2009 due to creative differences. Each of the band members has pursued careers in different musical directions.

Personnel
The band is now a six-member, multi-instrumental ensemble. Current members are Mark Connolley-Mendoza (bass, banjo, guitar, vocals), Laura Leif (ukulele, guitar, bass, piano, glockenspiel, vocals), Jennifer Crighton (harp, glockenspiel, vocals), Clea Foofat (piano, cello, ukulele, glockenspiel, vocals), Jared Andres (drums) and Danny Vescarelly (guitar, mandolin, bass). The band had previously gone through four and five member incarnations before adding more members to the group and becoming a sextet.

Music and Discography
Discography: Bunnyfish (5 Song EP, 2005); Capes and Crowns (Full-length album, August 19, 2007).

Since its release in 2007, Capes and Crowns, has made it in the top ten in Vancouver, Prince George, Edmonton, Sudbury and Halifax and has reached number one in Calgary and Lethbridge.

The Consonant C's music has been described as "soft and subtle, yet powerful nonetheless" and filled with "childlike glee through the lens of grownup music". One song on their full-length album, Capes and Crowns, is dedicated to indie band Azeda Booth. The song recalls "wintertime toboggan adventures and other such, whimsical Narnia-esque adventures".

The band continues to perform shows and expand through collaborations. In January, 2008 they performed with the Summerlad as part of One Yellow Rabbit's High Performance Rodeo. In 2008, they also performed shows at the Sled Island Festival and the Calgary Folk Festival.

In January 2009 the band released a new song called "So Awesome", available for streaming through its MySpace page.

The 2001 Kangaroo Tour was the Australia national rugby league team's nineteenth Kangaroo tour of Great Britain. The truncated tour featured only the three Ashes series Test matches against Great Britain. The 2001 tour was almost abandoned due to military action in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Australia continued its dominance, winning two of the three tests against Great Britain and retaining The Ashes that they have held since 1973.

Background
The 2001 Kangaroo tour was initially cancelled by the Australian Rugby League (ARL) but after strong public opinion in both Great Britain and Australia, it went ahead. However, the only games played were the three tests, marking the  first Kangaroo Tour to not play against any British club or provincial teams. The 2001 tour was also the first since 1952-53 not to include a test series against France following The Ashes series.

Touring Squad
The team was coached by Chris Anderson who was making his third Kangaroo Tour, and first as coach, after playing in the 1978 and 1982 tours, the second in 1982 as a member of the famed "Invincibles". Team captain was Brad Fittler, the youngest ever Kangaroo tourist in 1990 at the age of 18, was making his third and last Kangaroo Tour after being part of the successful 1990 and 1994 touring teams. Fittler was also the only member of the squad that had previously taken part in a Kangaroo tour.

1st Test

Great Britain led 12 nil at half time but after the break Australia came back strongly. The home side were able to get the upset in the end.

2nd Test

After trailing 40 nil at half time, Great Britain's two tries in the final ten minutes were too little too late. The main contributors of Australia's victory were scrum half back Andrew Johns, who scored two tries and kicked all but one of the six conversions, and fullback Darren Lockyer.

3rd Test

For the first time since the 1986 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France, the Lions and Kangaroos had met in Wigan.

Great Britain scored the opening try of the match early in the first half, but by the break trailed 12-6 behind Australia. During the first half of the game, Australia's coach Chris Anderson suffered a heart attack and was taken to hospital.

Sheryll D. Cashin (born December 15, 1961) is a law professor at Georgetown University Law Center. She was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, where her parents were political activists. Her parents' role in the civil rights movement impressed on her the importance of political engagement, and instilled values that still influence her research and discussion.

Family and home
Political involvement and activism were ideals in Sheryll Cashin's family, leading her to pursue racial issues including segregation and inequality.  At the start of the civil rights movement in early 1962, Cashin's mother Joan was arrested in a sit-in protest at a lunch counter, while holding the four month old Sheryll.  Her father John L. Cashin, Jr., a dentist, was an influential civil-rights leader in Huntsville and Alabama in the late 1960s.  He challenged George Wallace in the  1970 Alabama gubernatorial election. He founded a black-led third party in Alabama, the National Democratic Party of Alabama (NDPA), during the height of George Wallace's hegemony and enfranchised thousands of voters whom Jim Crow laws had excluded from the political process. Cashin's great-grandfather, Herschel V. Cashin was a radical Republican legislator in Alabama during Reconstruction. He was born in Antebellum Georgia, and was the child of a white Irishman and a free-mulatto woman.

Sheryll Cashin's family also became the first black family on the block, when they moved in 1966 from Lydia Drive in northwest Huntsville to Owens Drive, at the foot of Monte Sano.

Education
Cashin graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. She also obtained her masters in English Law with honors from St Catherine's College, Oxford in 1986 as a Marshall Scholar, and obtained her J.D. with honors from Harvard Law School in 1989.

Career
While working in the Clinton White House, Cashin served as an advisor on urban and economic policy, particularly concerning community development in inner city neighborhoods. She was also law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and Judge Abner Mikva of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

After her clerkships, Cashin worked as an Associate Counsel for the Office of Transition Counsel and as an associate at Sirote & Permutt, P.C.

As a professor of law at Georgetown University, Cashin teaches Constitutional Law, Local Government Law, Property, Administrative Law, and Race and American Law. She writes about race relations, government and inequality in America, as well as housing segregation.

Literary career
Sheryll Cashin has written four books, including The Failures of Integration: How Race and Class are Undermining the American Dream, which depicts how segregation by race and class is ruining American democracy. After studying data on school enrollment and census tracts, Cashin drew that racial separation still persists in schools and communities. She argues that we need a transformation of the now ingrained assumption that separation is acceptable in order to solve the riddle of inequality in America."

The Agitator's Daughter: A Memoir of Four Generations of One Extraordinary African-American Family covers the arc of U.S. relations from slavery through the post-civil rights era.

Cashin has also contributed book chapters. She also has written journal articles, and is a frequent radio and T.V. commentator. She has appeared on NPR All Things Considered, The Diane Rehm Show, The Tavis Smiley Show, The Newshour With Jim Lehrer, CNN, BET, ABC News, and numerous local programs.

Cross merchandising is the retail practice of marketing or displaying products from different categories together, in order to generate additional revenue for the store, sometimes also known as add-on sales, incremental purchase or secondary product placement. Its main objective is to link different products that complement each other or can logically be used in association. This strategy also aims to improve overall customer experience by allowing them to pick up related goods at the same place instead of having to spend time searching for them.

Forms
Cross merchandising generally exists in several forms:

Displays
Displays involve exhibiting a series of related products which together offers a complete package or solution to the customer's needs. This technique explicitly demonstrates the way multiple different products displayed complement and interact with each other.

Common examples include a clothing store featuring outfits and accessories ensemble on a mannequin, or a department store presenting a full set of furniture and electronics in a showcase window.

Secondary placements
Secondary placements or merchandising are carried out by showing products of different categories to the same shelf, pegs or aisle. This enables customers to link the related products at the time of purchase, saving their time of travelling down another aisle or luring them into buying additional items that they would not have done otherwise.

This strategy is most typically realised in supermarkets where Italian bread can be found directly in front of the butter and margarine aisle.

Link suggestions
Link suggestions or redirections describe the attempt of e-commerce platform to encourage additional purchases by displaying a link to complementary goods on the page of a specific product. The advantages of this online product placement approach are the absence of physical constraints and the ability to tailor product suggestions according to individual consumption history.

The use of the section titled "Customers who bought this item also bought..." on the online shopping website Amazon.com is an illustration of link suggestions and how they can constantly adjust with transaction patterns.

Products
An effective cross merchandising programme creates a linkage between the products involves to appeal to customers, and the source of that correlation differs depending on the products themselves. The products being displayed often change over time. Stores regularly adjust merchandise according to season, sales target, consumption pattern and many other factors to maximize impact.

A common type of product used in cross merchandising is complementary goods, which are products that are consumed in conjunction with one another. Electronics and batteries as well as printers and ink cartridges are examples of products that exhibit complementary properties for customers to connect.

Pairing products that offsets the unwanted effects of another is also a conventional strategy often found in cross merchandising. Examples include placing chewing gums next to cigarettes and putting toothpaste beside chocolates and sweets.

Applications
The technique of cross merchandising is not exclusively introduced by supermarkets and department stores. Examples can be found in a wide range of markets, as brands explore new markets and boost sales by cross merchandising their products with each other's.

Markets that frequently adopt cross merchandising include:
 Food and beverage
 Household goods – electronic devices and appliances, and furniture
 Fashion and beauty – clothing, footwear, cosmetics, and personal products
 Supplies – stationery, paper and plastics products
 Entertainment – television, music, games, and live performances

Hortense Wittstein Gabel (December 16, 1912 – December 6, 1990) was an American lawyer who served on the New York Supreme Court. Her judicial career came to an end after she was charged with lowering alimony payments for Carl Andrew Capasso in exchange for a position for her daughter at the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, which was then headed by Capasso's lover Bess Myerson. In the ensuing trial, she was acquitted of all charges.

Biography
She was born as Hortense Wittstein in the Bronx on December 16, 1912, to Bessie and Rubin J. Wittstein. She attended Hunter College High School. She graduated from Hunter College in 1934 and earned her law degree from Columbia Law School in 1937 and went to work at her father's law firm. She left her father's law firm in 1944 to marry Dr. Milton Gabel, a United States Army dentist stationed at Fort Hood, Texas.

Gabel had her first association with housing in 1955, when she was appointed as general counsel to the Temporary State Rent Commission. In May 1959 she was hired by the city to create a neighborhood conservation program and was given a second position in 1960 as an assistant to the mayor on slum clearance issues.  On April 12, 1962, Mayor of New York City Robert F. Wagner, Jr. appointed her to head the city's Rent and Rehabilitation Agency, in which she oversaw the nearly 5,000,000 residents living in rent controlled apartments.

Gabel was appointed to the New York State Supreme Court in 1975. She was known as a compassionate judge who supported civil rights and women's causes. In 1986, she was named judge of the year by the National Association of Women Judges, an organization she helped found in 1979.

While under investigation in the Myerson case, Gabel was removed from her position as a trial judge in June 1987 by Milton Williams, the deputy chief administrative judge for the city's courts. After a two-month-long trial, Gabel was acquitted in December 1988 of charges that she had reduced Andy Capasso's alimony payments in exchange for Bess Myerson hiring Gabel's daughter Sukhreet to a $19,000 position as a special assistant.

Gabel died of heart failure at age 77 on December 6, 1990.

In the 2019 film Motherless Brooklyn, a community activist played by Cherry Jones was primarily based on Gabel.

Almast ( meaning diamond) is the only opera of the Armenian composer Alexander Spendiaryan.

History
In 1916 Spendiaryan met Armenian poet Hovhannes Tumanian, who suggested three of his poems "Anush", "Parvana" and "The Siege of the Tmbouk Castle" as themes for a national Armenian opera. Spendiaryan listened to the prelude of the last poem and was immediately attracted by its beauty. According to Tumanian's daughter, he was fascinated by Firdousi's poem in the banquet scene, by Tatoul's nightmare, and by the ambitious Almast - who dreamed of winning the throne. Tumanian also organized special musical evenings for Spendiarian in his own home and then at Tbilisi's Music School, in which national musicians and minstrels took part.
At this stage Spendiarian, a Russian-Armenian, began to make a detailed study of Armenian folk music. He wrote: "Amongst the large amount of material I was particularly struck by Nikoghayos Tigranyan's music, on which I composed some of the instrumental passages in my opera". Because of the pressure of work, Tumanian was forced to abandon the idea of writing the libretto himself, and the task was undertaken by Russian poet Sophia Parnok. In 1916 the libretto was ready, and Spendiaryan began work on the opera, and finished the opera's vocal score in 1923. He continued his work on the instrumentation right up to his death. The instrumentation of the fourth act of "Almast" was completed by composer Maximilian Steinberg.

According to musical critic A. Shahverdian, "it is here that the basis was laid for a new style of Armenian national music."

Performances
The first performance of "Almast" took place in 1930 at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow. On 20 January 1933, when the Yerevan State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet was opened, a performance of the opera was given in Armenian in Tigran Hakhumyan's translation. It was performed also in Tbilisi, Tashkent, Novosibirsk and Odessa. It was re-staged in Yerevan also in 1939, 1969, 1971 and 1983.
In 1951 The Russian Chamber Opera Theatre in Paris gave a performance of "Almast" in the Mutualité Hall.

Loriano Macchiavelli (born March 12, 1934) is an Italian mystery writer and playwright.

Macchiavelli was born in Vergato, near Bologna. He worked also a theatre impresario, actor and playwright.

As a writer, his most famous character is Sarti Antonio (surname written first), a Bolognese police detective, characterized by a strong morality but mediocre investigative capabilities; in his tales he is often helped by the sharper mind of Rosas, a smart university student. Sarti's stories have been turned into a television series in 1991, followed by an Italian-German co-production of six films, broadcast in April and May 1994. He was also the protagonist of a comics series published in the Italian magazine Orient Express.

More recently, Macchiavelli has written a series of detective novels in collaboration with singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini having a Carabinieri maresciallo, Benedetto Santovito, as the protagonist.

Machiavelli's books have been published in France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Hungary,  Czechoslovakia, Soviet Union, Japan, Romania and other countries.

Roles
The roles of the Ministry of Justice include:
 to conceive, to conduct, to execute and to assess the policy of Justice defined by the Assembly of the Republic and by the Government;
 to assure the relationship of the Government with the courts, the Public Ministry, the Higher Council of Magistrates and the Higher Council of the Administrative and Tax Courts.

History
The present Ministry of Justice was created in 1821 as the Secretariat of State of the Ecclesiastical and Justice Affairs (also referred as the Ministry of Ecclesiastical and Justice Affairs). In 1910, it became the Ministry of Justice and Cults and in 1940, it became the Ministry of Justice.

Organization
The Ministry of Justice is headed by the minister, assisted by the Secretary of State of Justice.

The following agencies are part of the Ministry of Justice:
 Directorate-General of the Policy of Justice
 Inspectorate-General of the Services of Justice

The Little Mermaid () is a 1968 Soviet animated film based on Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale "The Little Mermaid". The film was adapted in English by Films by Jove for the series Fairy Tales from Far Off Lands, second season of Stories from My Childhood.

Plot
As the story opens, a busful of tourists are touring Copenhagen.  Their guide draws their attention to the beautiful statue at Langelinie.  At that, the film's focus moves below the waterline, where a fish, mocking the human's idea that love can be real, tells the story that follows to several smaller fish.

A galleon is foundering on the rough ocean. Its master, a young prince, is trying his best to keep the ship out of harm, but he fails, and eventually falls into the waves. Meanwhile, four mermaid princesses come from a magnificent alabaster underwater palace. The three older mermaids, clad in blue, give their younger sister a red cloak, indirectly indicating the protagonist.

The little mermaid heads toward the surface and sees the now-unconscious prince in the water. She carries him to the shore, where she sings a sweet mermaid song for him. Then a bell tolls from a nearby convent and several women come out. The little mermaid jumps into the sea, waiting to see what becomes of the prince. One of the ladies, very physically similar to the mermaid, finds the prince and helps him to the convent.

The little mermaid returns to her palace and tells her sisters of the prince. She decides to go to the hag of the sea for a solution. The hag offers her a potion that will turn her human, with the condition of having to lose her voice and bear a pain in her feet whilst walking. This the little mermaid quickly accepts.

The little mermaid arrives on land, where she is met by the prince astride a horse. He sees her beauty, and she dreams of a fantasy world riding with him on a winged horse into the stars. The couple then are seen on a voyage on a ship to a nearby land. A servant from the nearby palace's balcony spots the ship and calls for the princess. The prince and the little mermaid enter the palace, observed by the courtiers. The king welcomes the couple and presents his daughter, who is none other than the girl from the convent. The little mermaid falls into despair, remembering how the hag had told her that if the prince married another, she (the mermaid) would die the very next sunrise.

The prince and princess, clad in wedding clothes, head back to the ship with the little mermaid holding the bride's train and an entourage following them. As the little mermaid awaits the next day in desperation, her three sisters appear, now sporting short hair, having traded their long tresses, riches, and castle to the hag in exchange for enough magic to assist their younger sister. They give her a magic shell, which will kill the prince and his new beloved, save her life, and return her to her mermaid shape. The little mermaid refuses and drops the shell into the sea. A huge wave then comes to the ship, killing her for love. The prince notices her absence, but as she dies, her last song is sung, and he says to his bride "So you remembered the song after all."

Two different interpretations are offered in the end. The fish bemoans the mermaid's fate and foolishness and says it is a cautionary tale of how everyone should know their place. The human sees it as a most beautiful but tragic love story.

Surgical Eye Expeditions International, or SEE International, is a nonprofit humanitarian organization based in Santa Barbara, California, that provides accessible vision care services to underserved communities internationally and in the United States. The organization was founded in 1974 by Dr. Harry S. Brown, and it connects over 700 volunteer ophthalmologists and other allied health professionals with host clinic sites around the world. These volunteer medical professionals travel to host clinic sites to participate in sight-restoring programs and educate local doctors to help create sustainable vision care systems in the areas. Its objective is to provide quality eye care and sight-restoring surgeries in communities that are overwhelmed with large populations of individuals who cannot afford, or do not have access to, this form of medical care. Since its establishment, SEE has screened over 4 million individuals and completed over 500,000 surgeries in over 85 countries.

SEE's programs focus on eliminating preventable blindness by treating an array of eye diseases and vision impairments without monetary cost to patients. Since 2006, SEE has facilitated courses to train ophthalmologists in the Manual Small Incision Cataracts Surgery (MSICS) technique. This low-cost surgical technique is self-sealing and does not require sutures or high-grade medical technology, making it advantageous to use in the developing world. SEE organizes MSICS courses consisting of two levels that train dozens of medical professionals in the technique every year.

SEE's funding comes from individual donors, corporate donors, and foundation grants. In the United States, it is classified by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity. It is also a GuideStar Platinum Participant.

Programs

International

SEE coordinates short-term medical expeditions all over the world at the request of ophthalmologists in host countries where access to vision care is scarce. SEE's volunteer ophthalmologists work with the host eye surgeons. In 2019, SEE performed over 55,000 surgeries in 40 countries.

U.S.
SEE partners with various U.S. clinics that offer comprehensive eye exams, including A Promise to Peru, Artists for World Peace, California CareForce, Vision Health International, and VOSH International. SEE's surgical partners include the Alicia Surgery Center and Harvard Eye Associates.

Santa Barbara Vision Care
Established in the 1980s, SEE's Santa Barbara Vision Care (SBVC) provides free eye care at clinics held two or three days per week. Per day, each clinic serves 10–15 uninsured individuals, providing glasses, surgeries, eye exams, and treatments. In 2012, SBVC provided care to 1,247 patients; in 2017, it provided care to more than 2,500. SBVC has clinics in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oxnard, and Santa Maria, California.

SBVC runs several campaigns such as Children's Sight Week and Veterans Week throughout the year that target specific demographics. In August 2019, SEE held its third annual Children's Sight Week, providing 1,832 eye screenings and 54 comprehensive eye exams to local children.

Notable volunteers
 Dr. Helena Ndume
 Dr. Jeffrey Levenson

Awards and recognition

In the December 10, 2001 issue of Forbes, SEE International was cited in the Charity Investment Guide for its 99% efficiency as a charity, meaning that financially almost nothing is lost to overhead.

On June 22, 2015, the United Nations General Assembly announced that SEE affiliate Dr. Helena Ndume was selected to receive the first-ever United Nations Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela Prize. According to General Assembly President Sam Kutesa:
The prize recognizes the achievements of those who dedicate their lives to the service of humanity by promoting UN purposes and principles while honouring Nelson Mandela's extraordinary life and legacy of reconciliation, political transition and social transformation.

In 2016, the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) recognized SEE volunteer Dr. Janak M. Shah, M.D., as an Eye Health Hero. Shah has collaborated with SEE on over 140 ophthalmic expeditions worldwide, the most out of any SEE surgeon to date. The purpose of the Eye Health Heroes program is "to celebrate eye care practitioners and front line staff whose everyday efforts behind the scenes are making a real difference towards Universal Eye Health." Shah and other Eye Health Heroes will be recognized at the 10th General Assembly of the IAPB, in Durban, South Africa, October 27–30, 2016.

Deccan Radio was a community radio station in Hyderabad, India, operating on 107.8 MHz FM. The station was licensed to the Abid Ali Khan Educational Trust and broadcast a limited schedule of community programs.

The station had evidently ceased regular broadcasting around 2015. During this time, a new community station, Radio Charminar, started on the frequency, transmitting from a site  away from Deccan. The result was a complaint from Charminar, which claimed Deccan's broadcasts and consequent interference made advertisers hesitant to purchase air time on the other station.

Benjamin Franklin Potts (January 29, 1836 – June 17, 1887) was an American lawyer, politician, and soldier from the state of Ohio who served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, as well as a postbellum governor of the Montana Territory from 1870 to 1883. He commanded a brigade of infantry in the Western Theater in some of the war's most important campaigns and repeatedly received commendations for gallantry and tactical judgement in combat.

Early life and career
Benjamin Potts was born on a farm in Fox Township, Carroll County, Ohio, to James and Jane (Mapel) Potts. He attended the common schools. When he was seventeen, he began working as a clerk in a dry goods store in nearby Wattsville. He attended Westminster College in 1854–55, until he ran out of funding and returned to Ohio. He taught school and read law starting in September 1857 under Ephraim R. Eckley, later a U.S. Congressman. An active supporter of President James Buchanan, Potts was interested in local and national politics and joined the Democratic Party.

In May 1859, he passed his bar exam in Canton, Ohio, and established a successful practice in Carrollton. He was a member of the Ohio delegation to the 1860 Democratic National Convention in Charleston, South Carolina, and supported the candidacy of Stephen A. Douglas.

Civil War
With the outbreak of the Civil War, Potts was elected as a captain of the 32nd Ohio Infantry and mustered into the service on August 29, 1861. He served with the regiment in western Virginia and was present at Cheat Mountain and Greenbrier River. He was engaged in scouting with his company during a portion of the winter of 1861–1862; and in
the spring of 1862 he accompanied the regiment in the advance under Maj. Gen. Robert H. Milroy. Subsequently, he was engaged in the Battle of McDowell. He accompanied General John C. Frémont in his campaign up the Shenandoah Valley in pursuit of Stonewall Jackson, and was present at Cross Keys and Port Republic.

In July 1862, he was temporarily detached from his infantry company and assigned command of an artillery battery in Winchester, Virginia. During the Maryland Campaign, he and his men fell back to the presumed safety of Harpers Ferry, where they were part of the largest surrender of the U.S. Army until World War II, following the Battle of Harpers Ferry. Potts was paroled and sent to Camp Douglas until exchanged.

In December 1862, Potts was promoted to lieutenant colonel and commander of the demoralized and badly depleted 32nd Ohio. He reorganized the regiment, added substantially to its ranks, and refitted it for field duty. On Christmas Day, he was elevated to the colonelcy and then led the regiment in numerous campaigns of the Army of the Tennessee in the Western Theater, including the Siege of Vicksburg and the Atlanta Campaign. At Port Gibson he was complimented for gallantry by brigade commander Brig. Gen. John D. Stevenson; and at Raymond, Jackson, and Champion Hill, he received the thanks of Maj. Gen. John A. Logan. During the fight at Champion Hill, Colonel Potts charged with his regiment and captured an eight-gun Confederate battery and half of an Alabama infantry brigade that was guarding it.

In August Potts was assigned to the command of the 3rd Brigade, 3rd Division, XVII Corps, and he accompanied an expedition to Monroe, Louisiana. In November, Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson placed Potts in command of the 2nd Brigade. During Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman's Meridian expedition, Potts led the advance of the XVII Corps across Baker's Creek, routed the Rebels under William Wirt Adams, and drove them into Jackson. Later, Potts commanded the forces that destroyed the railroad from Meridian.

In 1864, Potts was assigned command of the 1st Brigade, 4th Division of the XVII Corps, and was distinguished during the Atlanta Campaign, especially in the Battle of Atlanta. Division commander Giles A. Smith wrote, "Colonel Potts did more, on the 22d of July, 1864, to save the good name of the Army of the Tennessee, than any other one man." That fall, he participated in the successful operations against Savannah, Georgia.

In January 1865, Potts was promoted to brigadier general of volunteers. He led his brigade during the Carolinas Campaign and in the Grand Review of the Armies in Washington, D.C. In May following the end of hostilities. Potts received the brevet rank of major general in the omnibus promotions at the end of the Civil War.

Postbellum career
Potts mustered out of the army in January 1866 and returned to Carroll County, Ohio, where he resumed his legal and political careers. He changed political parties and joined the Republicans. A moderate, he was elected to the Ohio State Senate in 1867. Three years later, he accepted an appointment from a fellow Ohio politician and former general, President Ulysses S. Grant, as the governor of the Montana Territory, but only after first refusing it because the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in the Ohio Legislature depended upon his vote, which would be lost if he vacated his seat. Potts served until 1883. As governor, he was heavily involved in Indian affairs, as well as working to get several new frontier towns chartered, including Missoula. The bipartisan political stability Potts brought to Montana played an important role in the gradual lessening of vigilante activities and lawlessness in the territory. He later served in the territorial legislature.

Benjamin F. Potts died in 1887 in Helena, Montana, where he was buried initially in the Benton Avenue Cemetery. His remains were later moved to Forestvale Cemetery.

Merope Sahaki Kantarjian (), also known as Siranush, Siranuysh, or Siranoush () (born on May 25, 1857, in Constantinople and died on June 10, 1932, in Cairo) was an Ottoman Empire-born Armenian actress, one of the few whose work is tied to an entire era of theatrical history.

The legend of Siranush has been living in the memories of the Armenian people for over a century. Her name went down in the history of Armenian theater as a norm and a height that was not reached. This remarkably talented actress was one of the few artists who helped Armenian arts reach world fame through her career.

Biography

Merope Sahaki Kantarjian is the birth name of Siranush. She was born on May 25, 1857, in Constantinople, Ottoman Empire. Siranush’s sister, the late Astghik (Amber Kantarjian), was also a talented actress and singer.

She began to pursue her career in theater from the age of 16. Siranush started out as an actress and later an opera singer for the Armenian theater companies in her hometown.

Her artistic career started in 1873, working in the theatres of Constantinople and for Petros Maghakyan's "Oriental Theater". After the Turkish sultan issued a decree banning Armenian plays in the Ottoman Empire in 1878, Siranush was forced to move. In 1897 she moved to Transcaucasus and played in Tiflis, Yerevan, Baku and other towns with her group. She also visited Russia, Balkans and Egypt. Among her best roles were: Ophelia and Hamlet, Desdemona, Lady Macbeth (Shakespeare), Rouzan (Muratsan's "Rouzan") and others. After the death of Armenian actor Petros Adamian in 1891, Siranush sparked interest among Armenian spectators towards theater again.

Siranush played nearly 300 roles in the best plays of Armenian, Russian and European authors. Some of her best roles included Marguerite Gauthier in "The Lady of the Camellias" by Dumas' son, Medea in "Medea", Zeynab in "Betrayal" by Yuzhin, Ophelia in "Hamlet" by Shakespeare, Teresa in "Sister Teresa" by Camoletti, Johanna d’Arc in Schiller’s "Maid of Orleans", Kruchinina in "Guilty Without Guilt" by Ostrovski and others.

Siranush was the first female actress in the world who played the role of Hamlet and was gifted with the exceptional power of personification. She not only played the role, but “lived” and “relived” and was almost like Eleonora Duse, despite the fact that critics compared Siranush more with Sarah Bernhardt. This always angered Siranush and on one occasion she wrote the following:

“…Why does my small Armenian nation want to incorporate the persona of another actress in me for appreciation? Those who compare me with Sarah Bernhardt do not have the right to praise my hard work with that of another. Why was I supposed to be the Sarah Bernhardt of Armenians? After all, I showed all my sacrifice and feelings with love to my Armenian people as Mrs. Siranush.”

She died on June 10, 1932, in Cairo at the age of 75, and was buried in the Armenian Cemetery alongside the tomb of the famous Armenian satirist, Yervant Odian.

Ransom of the Seven Ships is the 20th installment in the Nancy Drew point-and-click adventure game series by Her Interactive. The game is available for play on Microsoft Windows platforms. It has an ESRB rating of E for moments of mild violence and peril. Players take on the first-person view of fictional amateur sleuth Nancy Drew and must solve the mystery through interrogation of suspects, solving puzzles, and discovering clues. There are two levels of gameplay, Junior and Senior detective modes, each offering a different difficulty level of puzzles and hints, however neither of these changes affects the actual plot of the game. The game is loosely based on a book entitled The Broken Anchor (1983).

Her Interactive discontinued the game in July 2020, removing it from Steam and their own website due to its inclusion of a white character who poses as Jamaican.

Plot
Bess Marvin wins a five-day vacation in the Bahamas and has invited Nancy Drew and George Fayne to go with her. Before Nancy arrives at the resort, Bess is kidnapped, and the only way to save her is to solve a 300-year-old Bahamian mystery. Dangerous waters keep treasure hunters from exploring the reefs around Dread Isle, but this remote island might hide the riches of El Toro's lost fleet of seven ships. Can Nancy track down the treasure before time runs out?

Development

Characters
Nancy Drew - Nancy is an 18-year-old amateur detective from the fictional town of River Heights in the United States. She is the main playable character in the game, and the player solves portions of the mystery from her perspective.
George Fayne - George is one of Nancy's best friends and Bess' cousin. She is sensible and matter-of-fact about life. She is the one who remembers the small details and is the best with technology. On Dread Isle, she feels helpless when Bess is kidnapped and tries to fix a satellite phone. George is also a playable character, and the player solves portions of the mystery from her perspective.
Bess Marvin - Bess is a little boy crazy, but she's great with people and is able to persuade them to do anything! With an awesome fashion sense and a cheery disposition, she can be coaxed into helping Nancy on a case. But when Bess is kidnapped on Dread Isle, she'll need Nancy's help to escape.
Johnny Rolle - Johnny is stuck on Dread Isle because some monkeys trashed his boat. He can't leave until the repairs are finished. Since he's been on the island longer than Nancy and George, perhaps he can help find Bess, or was he the one who kidnapped her in the first place?
Coucou - Coucou is a smart-talking double yellow-headed amazon parrot. She hears the secrets people whisper, but won't tell unless you give her a treat!
The Gibsons - The Gibsons are the owners of the resort where Nancy, George and Bess are staying. George suspects that they are the kidnappers because the map found in the diving supply closet seems to show that they have been tracking Nancy's movements. Are George's suspicions true?

Reception

Discontinuation
The game was delisted from Steam and Her Interactive's website in July 2020. Refinery29 reported that the game had been removed due to racist content, specifically the plot point of a white character disguising himself as a Jamaican man for much of the game. Her Interactive confirmed this reason for its delisting in a response to a fan's e-mail, stating that the company is "committed to being sensitive and respectful to people of color, and therefore have discontinued the availability of this game."

Jakob Michael Hagopian (; October 20, 1913 – December 10, 2010) was an Armenian-born American Emmy-nominated filmmaker.

Biography
Hagopian was born to an Armenian family on 20 October 1913, in Kharpert, Mamuret-ul-Aziz Vilayet, Ottoman Empire. In summer of 1915, when the Ottoman soldiers rampaged through Kharpert, Michael's mother hid her child in a mulberry bush and prayed that the soldiers would not find him. Both escaped, and moved to Fresno, California.

Hagopian received an undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and after receiving a doctorate in international relations from Harvard University, he went into cinema and founded the Atlantis Films Company, which produced over fifty documentary films on ethnic minorities and foreign lands. He won critical acclaim, including two Emmy nominations for his film The Forgotten Genocide, the first full-length feature on the Armenian genocide. The film encompassed twenty years of research and nearly 400 witness interviews.

In 1979, Hagopian founded the non-profit Armenian Film Foundation dedicated to preserving the visual and personal histories of the witnesses to the Armenian Genocide.

In 2004 Hagopian's "Germany and the Secret Genocide" documentary became the winner of US International Film & Video Festival.

The pre-release version of Hagopian's  58-minute documentary "The River Ran Red" opened the Eighth Annual Arpa International Film Festival on Oct. 24, 2008 at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, California, four days after Hagopian’s 95th birthday.

Other awards
Arpa Lifetime Achievement Award.
Armin T. Wegner Humanitarian Award, 2006.
Jewish World Watch's 'I Witness' Award.
