Nemanja Matić (, ; born 1 August 1988) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Ligue 1 club Rennes. Starting his career as an attacking midfielder, Matić shifted to a defensive midfielder during his spell at Benfica. He is known for his consistent performances on the pitch and his combative style of play.

Matić began his senior career at Kolubara, before joining Slovak side Košice in 2007. He moved to English club Chelsea for £1.5 million in 2009. Used sparingly during his first spell at the club, he spent the 2010–11 season on loan at Dutch club Vitesse, and in the summer of 2011, he moved to Benfica as part of a swap deal involving David Luiz. He won the Primeira Liga Player of the Year award for his performances in the 2012–13 season. Matić returned to Chelsea in January 2014, for £21 million. He was named in the PFA Team of the Year for the 2014–15 season. In July 2017, he was reunited with former Chelsea manager José Mourinho after signing for Manchester United.

Matić represented Serbia at under-21 level. He made his senior international debut in 2008 and scored twice in 48 appearances. He was part of Serbia's squad at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Club career

Early career
Matić was born in Šabac, SR Serbia. He began playing football at age five with FK Vrelo from the eponymous village, coached by his own father. He began his senior career at Kolubara, before signing for Slovak club Košice in 2007. While living in the country, he also received Slovak citizenship.

Chelsea
On 18 August 2009, Matić signed for Chelsea from Košice for a fee of around £1.5 million on a four-year contract, having been on trial at Middlesbrough. He was given the number 24 shirt by Chelsea but was not able to make his debut immediately due to the injury he picked up at the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. He was on the bench for Chelsea's League Cup match against Queens Park Rangers on 23 September 2009, but did not take any part in the 1–0 victory. Matić made his Premier League debut for Chelsea on 21 November, coming on as a substitute for Florent Malouda in the 69th minute in a 4–0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

On 23 August 2010, Matić transferred to Eredivisie club Vitesse on a one-year loan, together with teammates Slobodan Rajković and Matej Delač.

Benfica

On 31 January 2011, Matić agreed to join Portuguese club Benfica in the summer of 2011, as part of a deal for Chelsea to sign Brazilian centre-back David Luiz. Under Benfica manager Jorge Jesus, Matić was converted from a playmaker into a defensive midfielder.

On 14 April 2012, Matić started for Benfica in the 2012 Taça da Liga Final against Gil Vicente, where he won his first trophy with the Lisbon-based club.

On 13 January 2013, Matić scored Benfica's first goal in a 2–2 draw with O Clássico rivals Porto. The next day, he was awarded with a contract extension lasting until 2018, with the buyout clause set at €45 million.

In the second leg of Benfica's Europa League round of 32 tie against Bayer Leverkusen, Matić headed in a late goal after a cross from Lima to seal a 3–1 aggregate victory. Matić was an integral member throughout the 2012–13 Primeira Liga campaign as Benfica looked to claim the club's first league championship since 2010. Going into the penultimate game of the season against Porto, both teams were undefeated in league play, but a stoppage-time winner from substitute Kelvin gave Porto a 2–1 victory.

On 15 May, Matić faced former employers Chelsea in the Europa League final in Amsterdam but was on the losing side as Benfica fell to a 2–1 defeat, courtesy of a last minute Branislav Ivanović header. On 4 July 2013, he was named Primeira Liga Player of the Year after having won the monthly award three times over the course of the season.

In the 2013–14 season, Matić played half of the season, with 22 matches and 3 goals, he helped Benfica to win the Primeira Liga and Taça de Portugal. On 13 January 2014, Matić placed second in the 2013 FIFA Puskás Award.

Return to Chelsea

On 15 January 2014, Matić rejoined Chelsea for a fee of £21 million (€25M), on a five-and-a-half-year contract. He made his second debut for the club four days later, replacing Willian in a 3–1 win against Manchester United.

On 3 February, Matić made his first Premier League start in Chelsea's fixture away at championship rivals Manchester City. He was named man of the match by Sky Sports as Chelsea ended City's unbeaten run at the City of Manchester Stadium with a 1–0 win.

Matić scored his first Premier League goal on 30 August 2014, in a 6–3 win at Everton. A month later, Matić scored the only goal as Chelsea won away at Sporting CP in the group stage of the Champions League; on 5 November in the same competition, his goal earned Chelsea a 1–1 draw at Maribor.

Matić was given a straight red card in Chelsea's 1–1 home draw against Burnley on 21 February 2015, for pushing over Ashley Barnes following a high tackle by him, which resulted in the bending of Matić's shin. On appeal, his suspension was shortened to two matches, including the League Cup Final.

On 26 April 2015, Matić was named as one of four midfielders in the PFA Team of the Year, alongside teammate Eden Hazard. Four more Chelsea players were included in the selection.

On 12 September 2015, Matić scored his first goal of the 2015–16 Premier League season against Everton, but it was not enough to save Chelsea from a 3–1 loss. Matić was sent off for two yellow cards in the first half of Chelsea's 2–1 loss at West Ham United on 24 October 2015.

For the majority of the 2016–17 Premier League season, Matić played as a central midfielder in a 3–4–3 formation. He scored the 4th goal in Chelsea's 4–2 FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham Hotspur on 22 April 2017. On 8 May 2017, he scored his first ever goal at Stamford Bridge, in a 3–0 victory over Middlesbrough.

Manchester United

On 30 July 2017, a photo was leaked of Matić wearing a Manchester United training kit printed with the number 31 vacated by Bastian Schweinsteiger the previous March, fuelling rumours that Matić was on the verge of a reunion with former Chelsea manager José Mourinho. Manchester United confirmed the deal the next day, with Matić signing a three-year contract with an option for an extra year, for a fee reported to be in the region of £40 million.

Two days after signing, he made his first appearance in a friendly against Sampdoria, finishing in a 2–1 win over the Italian side. On 13 August 2017, Matić made his league debut in a 4–0 win over West Ham United at Old Trafford, in which he was named Man of the Match. On 5 March 2018, Matić scored his first goal for the club with a half-volley in a 3–2 comeback win over Crystal Palace after being 2–0 down. The goal was later voted Manchester United goal of the season.

During the boxing day matches of the 2018–19 Premier League, Matić scored his first goal of the season and his second for Manchester United in a 3–1 win over Huddersfield Town.

On 29 January 2020, Matić scored the only goal in a 1–0 derby win; however he was also sent off during the game which United lost 3–2 on aggregate.

On 17 March 2020, Manchester United announced that they would be triggering a clause in Matić's contract to extend it by another year rather than allowing it to expire in the summer of 2020, keeping him at the club for a fourth year. On 6 July 2020, Matić signed a new three-year contract with the club, securing his future until 2023.

On 15 April 2022, Matić announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the season.

Roma
On 14 June 2022, it was announced that Matić had agreed to join Roma on a one-year contract, following the expiry of his Manchester United contract. He joined on a free transfer. This was his third reunion with manager José Mourinho, having also played under him for Chelsea and Manchester United. "I already worked with him, we have a good connection and he is one of the reasons why I came here," Matic commented on Mourinho. On 14 August, he made his debut for the club, as a substitute, in a 1–0 away win against Salernitana in the Serie A.

Rennes
On 14 August 2023, Matić joined Ligue 1 club Rennes on a two-year deal for a reported transfer fee of €3 million.

International career
Matić's debut for the Serbia under-21 team came in a match against Denmark on 11 October 2008. After three matches and two goals for the Serbia under-21 squad, he was called up to the Serbian senior squad and made his debut in a friendly against Poland on 14 December 2008, in a 1–0 loss.

He played in the Cyprus International Football Tournament in 2009 where Serbia made it to the final.

Matić took part in the 2009 UEFA Euro Under-21 Championship, where he played 85 minutes in the first group match against Italy in a 0–0 draw. Matić, however, injured himself after contact with Italian forward Sebastian Giovinco. He broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and was forced to undergo surgery.

In December 2012, Matić announced he would not play for the Serbia national team while Siniša Mihajlović was the coach. The reason he gave for this decision is that he felt he was not given the right opportunity by the coach not playing a single minute in his last five call-ups. On 6 September 2013, Matić returned to his national team on a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Croatia, being sent off in the 75th minute.

He scored his first international goal on 29 March 2015, in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match away to Portugal at the Estádio da Luz, equalising via an overhead kick, albeit in a 2–1 defeat. On 11 October, in a loss against the same opponents by the same score at the Partizan Stadium, Matić received a straight red card within a minute of teammate Aleksandar Kolarov's dismissal.

In June 2018, he was selected in the Serbian squad for the 2018 World Cup, playing all three group stage matches.

On 28 August 2020, the Football Association of Serbia announced that he had retired from international football; he made 48 appearances and scored two goals for Serbia. He earned his final cap against Luxembourg on 10 September 2019.

Style of play
A left-footed defensive midfielder, Matić's poise and power, in addition to his in-game intelligence and tactical awareness, have enabled his attacking teammates to flourish. He is often used at a holding position and screens the defence while providing cover for attacking movements. Just before he joined Manchester United, he had a tackle success rate of 75% in 123 Premier League appearances, a higher rate than N'Golo Kante, Ander Herrera, Fernandinho and Jordan Henderson. José Mourinho commented on Matić, "At this moment, he is a giant, not for his size but for the way he plays." Matić's qualities have led to comparison to his ex-teammate at Manchester United, Michael Carrick. Prior to joining Benfica, he played as an attacking midfielder, before being shifted to a holding midfield role.

Personal life
Matić's younger brother, Uroš, is also a professional footballer, playing for Abha Club, a team in Saudi Arabia. Matić is of partial Macedonian descent as his maternal grandfather is from Volkovija. Matić has three children with his wife, Aleksandra.

Matić has admired former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane from an early age.

In November 2018, Matić refused to wear a Remembrance poppy on his shirt for a match against Bournemouth. After the match, Matić was castigated and got threats by a number of people via social networks for not respecting servicemen who have died in war. Matić stated that he will not wear a poppy because his village of Vrelo was hit by the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999.

The Norwegian Union of Iron and Metalworkers (, NJMF) was a trade union representing workers in the metal industry, workshops, and shipbuilding in Norway.

The union was founded in 1891, and in 1905 it joined the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions.  In 1907, it came to the country's first collective agreement, with the National Association of Mechanical Workshops.  In 1960, the union absorbed the Norwegian Union of Foundry Workers, followed in 1985 by the Norwegian Union of Gold Workers.  By 1987, it had 97,998 members.

In 1988, the union merged with the Garment Workers' Union, the Norwegian Union of Building Industry Workers, the Norwegian Union of Paper Industry Workers and the Norwegian Union of Forestry and Land Workers to form the United Federation of Trade Unions.

Ibutamoren () (developmental code names MK-677, MK-0677, LUM-201, L-163,191; former tentative brand name Oratrope) is a potent, long-acting, orally-active, selective, and non-peptide agonist of the ghrelin receptor and a growth hormone secretagogue, mimicking the growth hormone (GH)-stimulating action of the endogenous hormone ghrelin. It has been shown to increase the secretion of several hormones including GH and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and produces sustained increases in the plasma levels of these hormones without affecting cortisol levels.

Effect on lean mass
Ibutamoren has been shown to sustain activation of the GH–IGF-1 axis and to increase lean body mass with no change in total fat mass or visceral fat. It is under investigation as a potential treatment for reduced levels of these hormones, such as in children or elderly adults with growth hormone deficiency, and human studies have shown it to increase both muscle mass and bone mineral density, making it a promising potential therapy for the treatment of frailty in the elderly. As of June 2017, ibutamoren is in the preclinical stage of development for growth hormone deficiency.

Effect on sleep architecture
In a small study of 14 subjects, MK-677 dosed at 25mg/day at bedtime was shown to increase REM sleep by 20% and 50% in young and older subjects respectively. Treatment with MK-677 also resulted in an approximate 50% increase in deep sleep in young subjects.

Growth hormone deficiency
In a study of children with growth hormone deficiency, MK-677 performed better than other growth hormone secretagogues at improving growth hormone levels. An ongoing study compares MK-677 directly to injectable hGH in terms of height velocity in this population.

Non-research use
Since MK-677 is still an Investigational New Drug, it has not yet been approved to be marketed for consumption by humans in the United States. However, it has been used experimentally by some in the bodybuilding community. Since it chemically mimics the hormone ghrelin, it functions as a neuropeptide in the central nervous system and crosses the blood-brain-barrier.

Houtem is a village in the municipality of Veurne in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The village is located near the French border. Until 1977, Houtem was an independent municipality. During World War I, it was home to the Headquarters of the Belgian Army.

Overview

Houtem was first mentioned in 1187 als Houthem. In 1588, the village was almost completely destroyed by the French army.

The vicarage of the village dates from 1636, and was part of the Sint-Niklaas monastery of Veurne. On 23 January 1915, the vicarage was transformed into the Great Headquarters of the Belgian Army. Albert I of Belgium became a frequent visitor of the village. On 5 January 1917, Félix Wielemans, the Chief of Staff, died in Houtem after having contracted pneumonia from the trenches. He was buried in the cemetery of Houtem.

In 1917, a civilian hospital was built in Houtem with the aid of the American Red Cross. After the war, it was used as a sanatorium and closed in 1926.

In 1977, the municipality was merged into Veurne. In 2007, Houtem was elected as one of the 50 nominees for .

A 243 metres high radio tower is located near Houtem. The tower was used by NATO for communication. In 2014, the tower was sold to Jump Trading for €5 million, because it was the shortest and fastest data route between London and Frankfurt.

Wulveringem is a small agricultural and residential village in the Westhoek region of West Flanders, a short distance from the border with French Flanders.   Wulveringem has a land area of 9.37 km2:  in 2011 there were 336 registered inhabitants.

Administratively Wulveringem has been controlled from Veurne since 1977.   It was independently administered till 1971 after which, between 1971 and 1977, it was combined for administrative purposes with the adjacent village of Vinkem to form a new administrative unit called Beauvoorde.   Although Beauvoorde's status as an independent administrative unit was short-lived, the name Beauvoorde continues in daily use.

History
Wulveringem appears on a map from 1770 on which it is identified as "Wulveringhem".   The village was barely smaller then than it is today.   The centre in 1770 comprised approximately 55 buildings, and well beyond the centre there were a number of large and small farms.   The land is flat and often damp: about ten of the Wulveringem farms were partially or wholly surrounded by moats.   The church and the small cemetery around it were almost wholly circled by a moat as were two adjacent farms.

Population decline since 1830
The registered population peaked in 1830 at 1,080 before the lure if higher wages in the industrializing towns and the mechanisation of agriculture led to a slow decline, to 822 in 1910.   The population rose significantly by 1920, but then continued to decline, reaching 508 in 1970 and 336 in 2011.

Visiting Wulveringem
The centre of the village has been carefully preserved/restored.   It is sometimes possible to visit Beauvoorde Castle which is positioned across a moat to the south side of the church yard.

Worthing Hospital is a medium-sized District General Hospital (DGH) located in Worthing, West Sussex, England. It is managed by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust.

History
Worthing's first hospital was a dispensary created in 1829 in Ann Street. A new dispensary was set up in 1845 in Chapel Road, which when enlarged in 1860 became known as the Worthing Infirmary and Dispensary. The Worthing Infirmary and Dispensary moved to the current site in Lyndhurst Road in 1882 and was given the name Worthing Hospital in 1902. The new East Wing was opened by Princess Anne in 1998.

After concerns were raised that the hospital could lose some of its services, a series of marches and protest events were held in both Worthing and Chichester against the plans to downsize facilities. In May 2008, the West Sussex Primary Care Trust Board recommended that Worthing Hospital be the 'major general hospital' for West Sussex and that St Richard's Hospital in Chichester be downgraded.

In 2016 Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WSHFT) was rated as 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Marianne Griffiths, the Chief Executive, was named chief executive of the year at the Health Service Journal awards in November 2016, and the top chief executive 2018 and again in 2019.

In 2019 Marianne Griffiths was made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

In April 2021 WSHFT (of which Worthing Hospital was formerly a part) and BSUH (Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust) merged to become University Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

"Absolutely Positively" is a song by American singer Anastacia. It was written by Ne-Yo and Chuck Harmony and produced by the latter for her fourth studio album, Heavy Rotation (2008). The song was released by Mercury Records as the album's second single in February 2009, following a confirmation by Anastacia during a performance on This Morning on Monday, November 3, 2008. "Absolutely Positively" was released to European radio on November 7, 2008.

Background
"Absolutely Positively" was written by American R&B singer Ne-Yo and commissioned after her record company had suggested a more "urban dance" sound for her fourth studio album, Heavy Rotation. Commenting on his contribution, Anastacia elaborated in 2009: "I was so grateful that he knew who I was and then the fact that he wrote two songs." In 2017, Anastacia admitted in an interview with Attitude that the song "just wasn't my vibe."

Critical reception
Digital Spy editor Alex Fletcher wrote: "Soulful funk of "Absolutely Positively" has "Sound of 2008" stamped all over it." Another critic, Maddy Costa of The Guardian also called it "Stevie Wonder-style soul-funk." Virgin Media editor Ian Gittins praised the vocal performance, where Anastacia is "recalling vocal giants such as Patti Labelle on the playfully Motown-like "Absolutely Positively"."

Music video
A music video for "Absolutely Positively" was filmed in November 2008 and directed by Nigel Dick, who also directed Anastacia's videos for "I'm Outta Love" and "Cowboys & Kisses".

Promotion
Anastacia performed the song in 2008 and 2009 at the following events:
 at the World Music Awards 2008 in Monte Carlo
 in Zürich at "Energy Stars for Free 2008"
 on the Paul O'Grady Show in England
 in Madrid at "Los Premios 40 Principales"

The rear wheel drive D platform was a body on frame chassis used only by Imperial from 1957 until 1966, (although Chrysler would not use such nomenclature until 1964). The standard chassis had a  wheelbase and the extended wheelbase (limousine) chassis had a wheelbase of . The D Platform had no major chassis components in common with any other Chrysler product and consequently maintained noticeably wider shoulder room and different exterior styling from contemporaneous Chrysler C platforms.

Famed for their durability and crashworthiness, Imperials built on the D platform were once a favorite of demolition derby contestants, so much so that demolition derbies have since outlawed the cars from most competitions.

The  was a diplomatic incident between the early Meiji government of the Empire of Japan and the Republic of Peru over a merchant ship with Chinese indentured labourers in Yokohama in 1872. It was an early test of the independence of the Japanese judiciary system and a challenge to the extraterritoriality provisions of the unequal treaties then in force between Japan and the western powers.

History
On July 9, 1872, the María Luz, a Peruvian cargo ship en route from Macao to Callao, Peru, with a cargo of Chinese indentured labourers for Peruvian plantations, called on the treaty port of Yokohama, Japan, to repair damage suffered during a severe storm. While anchored at Yokohama, one Chinese coolie aboard escaped by jumping overboard and swimming to the nearby British warship HMS Iron Duke. When he was turned over to Japanese authorities at Yokohama port, he complained about severe mistreatment and asked for protection and the rescue of 231 other Chinese aboard who were suffering from the same fate. The captain of the María Luz, Ricardo Herrera, was summoned by Japanese authorities and strongly admonished to treat the escapee with leniency and to take better care of his indentured charges.

However, another Chinese indentured labourer soon escaped, and word reached acting British consul Robert Grant Watson that the first escapee had been brutally treated by the Peruvian captain on his return to the ship. Together with a boarding party of British Marines, Watson personally inspected the vessel, and found that the rumor was true, and that the Chinese passengers were being treated in conditions similar to slavery. Watson formally approached Japanese Foreign Minister Soejima Taneomi to take action.

The Japanese government was initially hesitant to take action, as Japan had no formal diplomatic relations with Peru, whose interests in Japan were being handled by the United States. Kanagawa governor Mutsu Munemitsu was strongly opposed to any intervention which might damage Japanese relations with the western nations; however, Justice Minister Etō Shimpei felt that, for humanitarian reasons, the issue could not be ignored. The head of the State Council, Sanjō Sanetomi, authorized Soejima to proceed, and Mutsu resigned his position in protest.

Soejima took steps to prevent the María Luz from leaving port, and after reviewing the ship's records and interviewing the officers, found that its cargo of illiterate indentured laborers had been deceived in Macao into signing contracts, the contents of which they could not read or understand, and were being confined against their will under inhumane conditions. Many had been kidnapped, and most had no idea of the location of their final destination. At a preliminary hearing presided over by Ōe Taku, a court order allowing the Chinese to go ashore at Yokohama was issued, and the court declared that the shipping company owning the María Luz was guilty of wrongdoing. All of the foreign countries represented in Japan at the time were informed of the decision and their opinions were solicited.

However, every country with the exception of the United Kingdom responded negatively, charging that Japan had overstepped the bounds of various treaties to rule against a foreign company and foreign captain. In addition, the incident had arisen within the borders of Yokohama, which was at the center of the extraterritorial zone granted by treaty. Ōe turned to Soejima, who upheld the court's decision despite foreign opposition and charges of lack of jurisdiction, and on August 30, Ōe ruled that the Chinese labourers were freed of their contracts.

Herrera challenged the decision in an appeal with English barrister F.V. Dickins (who was fluent in classical Japanese and a translator of Japanese poetry) as his legal advisor. Dickins countered with the argument that involuntary servitude was practiced in Japan in the form of the sale of prostitutes and in the contractual debts of apprenticeship, and was thus not illegal. He further charged that since the Chinese labourers had been hired in Macao, the case fell within the jurisdiction of Portugal due to extraterritoriality agreements between Japan and Portugal, and was supported in this stance by letters from the Portuguese ambassador to Japan. However, Dickens' arguments were not accepted by Ōe, and he lost in a court decision on September 26, with the Japanese judge ruling that the Peruvian captain and contractor were in violation of international law, and not Japanese law. After the ruling, Herrera fled from Yokohama to Shanghai on another vessel, abandoning the María Luz at Yokohama.

The Qing dynasty Chinese government issued an official letter thanking the Japanese government for its strong stance and assistance rendered to Chinese subjects; however, most European nations remained displeased with the court's rulings, and supported official diplomatic protests from the Peruvian government. In June 1873, the Japanese government requested that Tsar Alexander II of Russia arbitrate the issue as a neutral party, and in 1875, he confirmed Japan's position.

Significance
The María Luz incident was a diplomatic victory for Japan in asserting itself against the unequal treaties. The outcome of the incident accelerated the decline of the "coolie trade" in Peru and elsewhere. In Japan, the incident also led to new legislation in late 1872, emancipating burakumin outcasts, prostitutes, and other bonded laborers in Japan.

A cranked eye bolt is an eye bolt typically used as a structural tie down in building construction where the eye of the bolt must be fastened to a point that cannot be directly below where the shaft would otherwise be fastened. This often occurs where a bearer must be tied down to a post or column but the bearer cannot be directly fastened to the post of column.

It has a shaft which is cranked, or bent twice: once off center, and a second time to bring the shaft back parallel to the original shaft.

Uses

The requirement for an offset tie down will occur when vermin proofing must be placed between the column or post, and a wooden bearer, for example to stop termites travelling up through a concrete or wooden post or column directly into the bearer and the rest of the building.  The "ant capping", typically a 0.5mm to 0.8mm thick galvanised steel sheet, must be placed between the post and the bearer overlapping the perimeter of the post by approximately 20mm to 40mm or more.  The cranked eye bolt is fastened to the post using a bolt through the eye, the crank in the shaft allowing the shaft to be positioned so that it does not impede the overlap of the "ant capping" up through the bearer.

Should termite attack occur, the post of column can be replaced with no structural effect to the building.

Cranked eye bolts can also be used to tie the top plate of a house frame directly to house supports, using rod couplers and steel extension rods.

Engineering
Cranked eye bolts used to be made by bending an "eye" into the end of a rod that was threaded at the other end.

Today, cranked eye bolts are now typically made by welding a cranked and threaded rod to a heavy gauge steel washer.

Cranked eye bolts are made with different degrees of crank and lengths of shaft for flexibility.

The Hongcheng Magic Liquid incident was a scam in China where Wang Hongcheng (), a bus driver from Harbin with no scientific education, claimed in 1983 that he could turn regular water into a fuel as flammable as petrol by simply dissolving a few drops of his liquid in it. He founded the Hongcheng Magic Liquid company with funds from Chinese governmental agencies and other supporters, raising a total of 300 million yuan (US$37 million), but no product was ever released.

Around that time, in 1994, the Chinese Government, alarmed by an increase in pseudoscience and superstitions in the post-Mao era, made a declaration decrying the deterioration of science education in the country, taking several measures to improve science education and to improve the prevalence of science and technology in courts. One of these efforts was to require the scientific authoritative journal Science and Technology Daily to carry an article critical of Hongcheng's invention, which had been previously rejected at several major Chinese publications. This created a growing publicity and opposition of Hongcheng's invention, silencing his supporters.

In 1995 Hongcheng refused an invitation to carry out a scientific appraisal of his invention at Beijing, and the notable scientist and debunker He Zuoxiu and 40 other scientists made a statement calling for the Chinese Government to investigate his claims. Hongcheng was eventually arrested, put to trial, and in 1998, was found guilty of fraud and deceit and condemned to 10 years of prison.

Invention and initial experiments
Wang Hongcheng was a bus driver from Harbin, a former soldier with ninth-grade education and no scientific training. In 1983 he claimed that he invented a liquid that could transform a liter of regular water into a fuel by simply adding two or three drops of his liquid, and that this resulting fuel was as combustible as petrol. Hongcheng called it "the fifth greatest invention of China", in a reference to the four Great Inventions of China, and his invention became more popular, finally reaching on 28 January 1993 the front pages of a major national newspaper. In the winter of 1985, Wang showed this technique in Beijing, Hebei, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Hongcheng Magic Liquid company
The Chinese security and military departments started to look into his claims and funded his research. In 1992–1993 Hongcheng founded a company called Hongcheng Magic Liquid to manufacture his product and raised a total of 300 million yuan (US$37 million). No product, working or otherwise, was ever commercially released.

Chinese Government reaction and repercussions

In 1994 the Chinese Government was alarmed by a recent raise in pseudoscience and a revival of old superstition, and issued a declaration declaring the rise of superstition and ignorance, how the science education had declined among the population, and how it would make efforts to combat this situation. After this declaration, Song Jian, then chief director of the Chinese National Science Committee, held a conference on how to carry this work among the public. Song Jian was then told at the conference that an article debunking Hongcheng's invention had been refused publication in three major national newspapers and one scientific publication. Song Jian then required Science and Technology Daily, the most authoritative newspaper in China's science and technology, to publish it. This publication explained that when Hongcheng's invention hit newspaper front pages in 1993, different newspapers reported different proportions of oil and water in their announcements, and used this to make a critical analysis. It publicized the invention, started an opposition feeling, and silenced Hongcheng and their supporters.

Fraud conviction
After the public backlash caused by He Zuoxiu's article, the Chinese people started to realize that Hongcheng's "technique" was a fraud. Hongcheng faced growing criticism from scientists and media. He Zuoxiu, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as well a notable scientist and debunker, had been invited several times by Hongcheng's supporters to visit the northeast and watch his invention in action. In 1995, Zuoxiu asked them to Beijing to pass a scientific appraisal of his liquid, as the country capital would be a proper place for such a scientific and universal invention. Hongcheng refused, prompting Zuoxiu and a group of other 40 scientists to ask the top Chinese legislative body, the People's Political Consultative Conference, to investigate his claims. After this declaration, his invention collapsed by itself, and it was finally found that it was a fraud.

In 1998 he was found guilty of fraud and deceit and sent to prison for 10 years Hongcheng acquired the status of a legendary figure, because some people thought that it was a case of cover-up or of free energy suppression, where he would be imprisoned not because his formula would not really work, but because of refusing to release his secret formula to the government.

Political and cultural context
The Chinese Government were alarmed by this and other similar cases of promotion of pseudoscience even before Hongcheng's refusal to carry a scientific appraisal at Beijing and the publicity it carried. The Chinese government decided to tighten the appraisal system for scientific claims and other measures like creating science and technology courts. After the death of Mao Zedong, several Western pseudoscience theories appeared in rural areas, together with the return to ancient China practices like ancestor worship, astrology and fortune telling. The government newspaper had lamented "the superstition of feudal ideology is raising again in the Chinese countryside". Individual claiming to have "special powers" claimed that they project their Qi out of their body to cure people, and called "masters of Qi Gong", one of them being arrested after causing the death of several patients. The Asian Rhinoceros was being driven to extinction because pulverized Rhinoceros horn were said to prevent impotence, despite the fact that Rhinoceros horn is composed of keratin, the same substance that is present in human hair and fingernails.

To address all these issues, the government of China and the Chinese Communist Party made on 5 December 1994 a joint public declaration called "Some Suggestions on How to Reinforce the Popularization of Science". In it they lamented the recent withering of public education and the growth of pseudoscience and anti-science ideas, and then indicated that they would reinforce the public education about science.

Most officials support the effort to root out pseudoscience in China, although the government still sends occasionally mixed signals, like one incident when a high-ranking official ordered the Guangming Daily to pull a letter critical of Hongcheng at the last minute. He Zuoxiu explains that corruption will also have to be fought at the same time as pseudoscience, since some officials and journalists may "have a stake" in these inventions, and would be harmed by their exposure.

The World Blitz Chess Championship is a chess tournament held to determine the world champion in chess played under blitz time controls. Since 2012, FIDE has held an annual joint rapid and blitz chess tournament and billed it as the World Rapid & Blitz Chess Championships. The current world blitz champion is the Norwegian Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen. Bibisara Assaubayeva from Kazakhstan is the current women's blitz world champion. Magnus Carlsen has won the event a record six times.

Time controls

Starting in the early 1900s, chess clubs began to organize tournaments played at accelerated time controls; these early games usually required a set number of moves from each player within a certain time interval. One of the earliest examples was the local chess club at Hastings, England, where 10 seconds were allowed per move during a blitz tournament held after the 1904 British Chess Championship. By 1950, the time controls had changed to the more familiar 5 minutes per player (now 3 minutes), hence the "5-minute game" moniker. The term "blitz chess" would not be coined until the 1960s.

FIDE-recognized events

FIDE World Blitz Championship (2006–2010)

The first blitz chess tournament to be recognized by FIDE as a "world championship" took place on 6 September 2006 in Rishon Lezion, Israel. Structured as a 16-player round-robin, the tournament featured seven of the world's top 20 Grandmasters, as well as a young Magnus Carlsen. After 15 rounds, Alexander Grischuk and Peter Svidler finished atop the leaderboard with 10½/15; Grischuk subsequently defeated Svidler with Black in an armageddon game to win the championship. The following year, the tournament (now branded as the FIDE World Blitz Cup) was held in Moscow, Russia following the Tal Memorial tournament and was re-structured as a 20-player double-round robin with a significantly stronger field. After Ukrainian grandmaster Vasyl Ivanchuk and Indian grandmaster Viswanathan Anand entered the final round tied on points, Ivanchuk defeated Anand from a disadvantaged position to win the tournament with 25½/38.

In 2008, the championship reverted to a 16-player round-robin. Despite a late charge from the defending champion Ivanchuk, who won seven of the final eight rounds, the tournament was won by Leinier Domínguez, a 25-year-old GM from Cuba who scored 11½/15 to edge out Ivanchuk by a half-point. In 2009, the championship returned to Moscow, where the format was once again switched to a 22-player double round-robin with revised time controls of 3 minutes per player plus a 2-second increment. The event was won by the young Norwegian chess prodigy Magnus Carlsen, who finished three points clear of the field with 31/42 and went 8/8 against the 2nd through 5th-place finishers.

2010 would prove to be the final year of the event – hosted again in Moscow, the tournament was dubbed the VI World Blitz 2010 and held immediately after the Tal Memorial tournament. Despite losing both his final games, Armenian Grandmaster Levon Aronian was able to clinch the title with 24½/38, half a point ahead of Teimour Radjabov.  In November 2010, a nine-round Swiss tournament was scheduled for February 17, 2011, to serve as a qualifying event for the World Blitz Championship 2011; however, after no bids for the event were made the tournament was eventually cancelled.

World Rapid & Blitz Chess Championships (since 2012)

On May 31, 2012, FIDE announced the inaugural World Rapid & Blitz Championships, set to take place in Astana, Kazakhstan, from July 1 to 11. The 2012 tournament consisted of a qualifying round, followed by the rapid and blitz events held consecutively over five days. The championship was originally structured as a 16-player round-robin tournament, set to coincide with the first release of FIDE's rapid and blitz ratings in July 2012; invited were the top 9 players in the FIDE ratings list, the defending champion Levon Aronian, the three medalists of the qualification competition, and three wild-card nominees by the organization committee and FIDE. The event has since been changed to a Swiss tournament with a field of over 100 grandmasters. The top three finishers in the standings are awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals respectively; tiebreaks are determined by the average rating of opponents.

The World Rapid & Blitz Chess Championships 2020 was postponed to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was planned to be held in Kazakhstan in December 2021; however, due to new regulations imposed by the Kazakh government, which would have required many participants to quarantine, the event had to be cancelled again on December 8, 2021. FIDE was considering to either hold the event in Kazakhstan in 2022, or to move it to a different host country. On December 10, 2021, Warsaw, Poland was announced as the new host city, with the tournament taking place from December 25–30, 2021.

Herceg Novi Blitz Tournament of 1970

On 8 April 1970, following the USSR vs. Rest of the World 'Match of the Century' hosted in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, a blitz tournament was held in Herceg Novi, featuring many of the same participants from the match. The event was a 12-player double round-robin, with no tiebreaks and five minutes per player. Featuring four World Champions, the field was considered the strongest of any blitz tournament in modern history. Heading into the event, two-time World Champion Tigran Petrosian was considered the favorite to win the event, with Mikhail Tal and Viktor Korchnoi also enjoying favorable chances.

It was American grandmaster Bobby Fischer, however, who put up a dominant performance, scoring 19/22 to win the tournament by 4½ points. Fischer scored a staggering 8½/10 against the five Soviet grandmasters in attendance, dropping only one game in the entire tournament and frequently gaining huge time advantages in each game. According to one report, Fischer spent no more than 2.5 minutes on any game. At the end of the tournament, Tal – who had been whitewashed by Fischer – gave his thoughts on the American's performance.

1988 World Blitz Championship

Following the Candidates' matches for the 1988 cycle, a World Blitz Championship was hosted in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, on 19 February 1988. The event was a 32-player single-elimination tournament, with pairings determined by best-of-four matches. The field was headlined by long-time rivals Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov, with the former considered the favorite to win the tournament. Notable participants included:

Former world champion Anatoly Karpov fell out of contention for the championship in just the second round, after dropping his first two games against fellow Soviet grandmaster Alexander Chernin. Reigning world champion Garry Kasparov steamed ahead into the quarterfinals but lost momentum after missing an elementary mate in two against Bulgarian grandmaster Kiril Georgiev; a stunned Kasparov was subsequently knocked out of the tournament. In the final, Mikhail Tal clinched the championship with a 3½–½ victory over Armenian grandmaster Rafael Vaganian.

Mikhail Tal, the 51-year-old former World Champion, breezed through the final rounds with 5½/6. Joining him in the finals was Rafael Vaganian, who survived a controversial semifinal against Kiril Georgiev; the Armenian nearly punched his clock after making an illegal move in Game 2, an accusation that was eventually refuted after match officials resorted to a video review and found that Vaganian's hand had stopped just short of touching the clock. The final was a one-sided affair, with Tal repeatedly utilizing exchange sacrifices to find winning combinations; down 3–0 after three games, Vaganian offered his hand in the 4th game to concede the match to Tal. After the match, Tal claimed he took the event "none too seriously"; he chain-smoked throughout the tournament, and his "preparation" for the semifinal match against Chernin reportedly consisted of a double scotch.

2000 World Blitz Chess Cup

David Michael Geoffrey Hirst, FBA (5 September 1933 – 14 December 2017), commonly known as Michael Hirst, was an art historian and an expert on Italian Renaissance art. He was Professor of the History of Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art from 1991 to 1997.

Biography

David Michael Geoffrey Hirst was born on 5 September 1933 and studied at New College, Oxford, and the Courtauld Institute of Art. Lecturer, Reader and Professor of Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, and a Fellow of the Academy since 1983, Hirst has been one of the foremost specialists on the drawings of Michelangelo. Indeed, such was his international standing in the world of Michelangelo studies that he was made a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Restoration of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling in 1987, and the following year curated an exhibition on Michelangelo as Draftsman for the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

He has made a signal contribution to knowledge and understanding of sixteenth-century Italian art, devoting most of his scholarly publications to the life and works of Michelangelo. His studies of the Florentine master have shaped a generation of art historians and constitute a point of reference for Renaissance art history in general. His book on Michelangelo’s drawings is widely considered to be the most perceptive study on the subject thus far. Hirst’s monograph on Sebastiano del Piombo is also fundamental in the field. Beyond Michelangelo, he published important articles and essays on artists such as Francesco Salviati, Perin del Vaga and Parmigianino.

He was an Accademico d'Onore, or honorary member, of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno of Florence.

Photographs contributed by Michael Hirst to the Conway Library are currently being digitised by the Courtauld Institute of Art, as part of the Courtauld Connects project.

Overseas Trust Bank Limited (OTB) () was a bank in Hong Kong. It was established in 1955 by Chang Ming Thien, a Malaysian businessman and it was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1972. It was the fourth largest bank in Hong Kong before acquisition.

Collapse and takeover by Government
On June 6, 1985, OTB suddenly announced that it was on the brink of collapse, due to its severe cash flow and bad debt problems. Bad debts held by the bank reached US$89.5 million. To recover the confidence of the public and investors of the Hong Kong banking system, the Hong Kong Government stepped in and took over OTB in the following day. From 1985 to 1986, the government ordered the Royal Hong Kong Police and ICAC to investigate the causes of OTB downfall. In May 1986, the former chairman of OTB, Patrick C.T. Chang, was arrested at the Hong Kong International Airport reportedly with a large amount of cash and jewellery. In 1987, Chang and OTB's former senior management were sentenced to jail by Hong Kong Law Court.

Sold to Guoco
In 1993, the government sold OTB to Malaysian-owned Guoco Group for US$571 million. OTB became the subsidiary of Dao Heng Bank.

Sold to and merged with DBS Bank
In 2001, Singaporean DBS Bank acquired and privatized Dao Heng Bank, together with OTB, from Guoco Group. In 2003, DBS Bank merged DBS Kwong On Bank, Dao Heng Bank and Overseas Trust Bank to form DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited.

At first, Singha and his friends mock Mituna for being quiet. He becomes friends with Lam, who helps him survive Kong (who tries to kill him) and becomes close to Singha's group. Singha ridicules Mituna when they become dance partners, but Mituna had fought back on the bus after she was ridiculed for helping a mute woman.

Singha follows Mituna, wanting to know where she lives. He asks her to forgive him, but Mituna does not want to talk to him. Singha's group, Jack and Kanda ask Mituna's mother to allow her to be part of their project to help educate children. At a bonfire, Singha reveals his favorite flower: Mituna.

Singha gives Mituna a paper to sign for their friendship book. She goes home, knowing that her family is moving away. On the final examination day, Mituna lies to Singha by telling him that she must go away for a few days. After taking the last exam, she leaves a note for Singha that they would talk on the result day.

Before the result day, Singha's father is transferred and they must move. On the result day, Singha waits for Mituna before leaving with his friends. He gets drunk and falls asleep; when he wakes up, he looks for Mituna at school and at home. He waits for her in the park, is apprehended by the police, but is recognized as the son of a sergeant.

Guido Karp (born 23 January 1963) is a German music photographer.

Biography
Karp was born in Mayen and grew up in Koblenz. Even as a schoolboy, he took photos of artists and concerts for the school newspaper of the Eichendorff-Gymnasium. The photo of the German comedian Otto Waalkes was his first published in the Rhein-Zeitung paper in 1976. A year later, several photos of the then 14-year-old were part of a group exhibition in the Liebfrauenkirche in Koblenz. The advertising photographer Hans Joachim Bischoff became Karp's mentor at this time. In 1978 Karp had his first own exhibition at "Le Café" in Boppard. He made his first record cover for Thomas Anders' record "Ich will nicht Dein Leben" (I do not want your life)".

Immediately after successfully graduating from high school, Karp entered the photo scene and worked as a freelancer for Bravo and Bild newspaper, where Karp published his first cover photo of the UK band Wham!.

In 1984 Karp began studying journalism in Mainz, which he gave up in favour of studying photo design in Darmstadt.

In 1986 Karp completed an internship at Newton Studios in Sydney. In the same year, he photographed a concert tour in Australia for the first time - Elton John and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. A photo from this series became the cover of the single "Candle in the wind." Through his contacts in the European music media, Karp became "the man" for syndicating images of Australian pop and rock'n'roll bands in Europe, to continue as tour photographer of AC/DC, Modern Talking, Genesis, John Farnham and Michael Jackson. Guido Karp also worked for Tokio Hotel, Bon Jovi, HIM, Backstreet Boys, Dire Straits, Tina Turner, Rammstein. He photographed up to 250 shows a year back then.

To date, Guido Karp has taken the cover photos for more than 1,000 music CDs and DVDs, including the cover photo of the world's best-selling single "Elton John - Candle in the Wind 1997" as well as that of the world's best-selling music DVD "Robbie Williams – Live at the Albert".

In 1988, Karp founded the concert photo agency "The FAN Association" together with his assistant, Oliver Brenneisen. The name "The FAN Association" refers to the fact that this agency, unlike classic photo agencies, not only sold its photos to print media and other media, but also directly to concert-goers based on world-exclusive license agreements with the artists depicted. The first three projects of "The FAN Association" were photo series by Spandau Ballet, Howard Carpendale, and "The Wall" with Pink Floyd at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. In the year 2000, as part of internationalization, the agency had to be renamed "FansUNITED" because the word "association" is reserved for charitable organizations with regard to a company name in New Zealand and Canada.

Between 2001 and 2009, there was a collaboration between Guido Karp and the director and light artist Gert Hof, whose world-wide mega-events Karp photographed. Recordings of him appeared in the two Gert Hof photo books "Obsessions" (2003) and "Leasing the sky" (2006).

Since 2002, Guido Karp has been the lead photographer of the internationally most successful before-and-after show "Princess for one day" (P41D) and is a regular tutorial guest at the photo fair "Photokina", which was the world market leader at the time but has since been discontinued. Karp continues his audience-oriented performances as part of national and international workshop series.

Since 2006, Karp has been involved in the project he initiated, "Photography instead of violence in schools."

In 2018, Karp suffered a second stroke, which limited him physically for a time. However, by the time Photokina took place in May, he had already recovered so well that he could fully fulfill his duties as host of the main stage. Extensive photographic tour accompaniment followed, e.g., Mark Knopfler and Alphaville, mainly in the USA.

On 14 March 2020, Karp's business came to a standstill due to the Covid lockdown in Germany. After a break and reorientation, Karp focused on #karpademy – a scholarship in which Karp supported ten state-sponsored photographers for one year, both photographically and as a commercial mentor.

In 2020, Karp toured Germany with the #kuenstlerhelfen charity project and – due to COVID-19 travel restrictions – mainly photographed German artists such as The Scorpions, Thomas Anders and Thomas D. The autographed exhibits are to be sold to benefit those "forgotten" by the system – roadies, vendors, and caterers of the Artist Tour family. The aim was to collect money for the needy.

Karp is married to Nicole Karp since December 2004.

Awards

Guido Karp was nominated as Music Photographer of the Year in 1987, 1988 and 1992, winning in 1988 and 1992 in the categories "Best Concert Photography"

Caleb Cook Baldwin (1820 - July 20, 1911; Chinese: 摩憐 or 摩嘉立; Pinyin: Mólián, Mó Jiālì; Foochow Romanized: Mò̤-lèng, Mò̤ Gă-lĭk) was one of the first Congregationalist missionaries to Foochow, China.

Life and works
Born in Bloomfield, New Jersey in 1820, C. C. Baldwin received his high school education at the Bloomfield Academy at the foot of "the Green" where he was also an assistant teacher.  He graduated from Princeton College in 1841 and taught school from 1841 to 1844 in a state academy in Cecil Co. Maryland.  Baldwin graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1847 and was ordained as an Evangelist in the Old Presbyterian Church in Bloomfield. He married Harriet Fairchild of Bloomfield and left for China in 1847 in a sailing vessel. Under the American Board of Missions, the couple arrived in the spring of 1848 at Foochow. The couple labored together in the missionary field for 47 years (1848-1895) with short furloughs to the United States in 1859, 1871, 1885. The Baldwins learned the native language and were responsible for extensive work in literacy, education and evangelistic departments. Founding schools and superintending them in cities and villages, the Baldwins traveled by boats, sedans and the most primitive locomotion. Baldwin's last and most important literary work was a careful version of the dictionary and the Foochow Bible.  In 1895, the Baldwins returned to America where Mrs. Baldwin died in July 1896.  Baldwin died of heart failure in 1911.
Caleb C. Baldwin's monumental works were the Alphabetic Dictionary of the Chinese Language in the Foochow Dialect (with Robert S. Maclay) in 1870 and the Manual of the Foochow Dialect () in 1871. In connection with his wife he also translated much of the Bible into Fuzhou dialect and prepared text-books such as Catechism of Christian Doctrine ().

The Municipality of Petersham was a local government area of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The small municipality was proclaimed as a borough in 1871 and was centred on the suburbs of Lewisham, Petersham and Stanmore. It was bounded by Parramatta Road in the north, Cardigan and Liberty Streets in the east, Stanmore and New Canterbury Roads in the south, and Old Canterbury Road in the west. The municipality was divided into three wards: South Kingston, Annadale and Sydenham, all the names of early farms. The boundaries remained fairly stable, with only minor changes on the east and western sides. The borough became a municipality in 1906. In 1949 under the Local Government (Areas) Act 1948, Petersham council was merged with the larger neighbouring Marrickville Council which was located immediately to the south.

In 1984, he was appointed National-level Manager of the DRC Immunization Programme, within the larger EPI-Combatting Child Communicable Diseases Division, where he was in charge of directing the roll out of immunization services in the districts, through training, supervision, setting up supply systems and monitoring programme expansion.

Okwo-Bele joined the World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa (WHO/AFRO) in 1989 as a medical officer, and epidemiologist. He went on to become Regional Adviser at WHO/AFRO, in charge of the Vaccine and Preventable Disease Unit, in 1993, launching the polio eradication initiative, facilitating the introduction of additional and new vaccines into national programmes and supporting improvements in routine programme implementation. He received the Rotary Paul Harris Fellow recognition for advancing polio eradication in Africa.

In 2002, Okwo-Bele left WHO to join another UN Agency, UNICEF, where he held the position of Chief of Global Immunization Activities, at the UNICEF Headquarters in New York City. He worked directly with the UNICEF Executive Director for the oversight of immunization activities in large countries of Africa and Southeast Asia that were lagging behind immunization and polio eradication programme targets. He also contributed to the design of the technical package of the Immunization Finance Facility for Immunization (IFFIm) that brought in substantive financial resources to the Gavi alliance. He held this position until he was called back to WHO in 2004 to serve as the Director of the Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. In this position, he has responsibility for strategic direction, coordination and management of the WHO normative and programmatic immunization activities, ranging from vaccine research, vaccine quality and safety to immunization policy and immunization services delivery.

Since he retired from the WHO in November 2017, Okwo-Bele provides consultancy and board advisory services on vaccine research and development, vaccine implementation and health emergencies.

is a PlayStation 3 game developed by Artdink and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. A Japanese version was released in Japan and South East Asia on September 25, 2008. A translated English and Chinese version (Aquanaut's Holiday ~堡礁秘辛~) was released in Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and South East Asia on November 20, 2008.

History
Aquanaut's Holiday: Kakusareta Kiroku was previously known as Aqua which was the title used in the Tokyo Game Show 2007 official teaser.

This PlayStation 3 release is the latest installment in Artdink's Aquanaut's Holiday game series which started on the PlayStation in 1995.

Gameplay
The actual story mode of the game can be compared to an adventure game. The main - unnamed - character is a journalist, in search of the missing oceanographer William "Bill" Graber. Using a submarine called the Dolphin no.2 you explore the seas for clues.

The game takes place in Kisira Atoll, in Polynesia. An oceanographic research facility named Kisira Base is the starting point and where you always come back to, for supplies (such as batteries for sonar navigation buoys) and equipment.

Two scientists work at the base, the young and dreamy Jessica Porter and the conservative chief Robert Kemelman.
Both assist you in solving mysteries, each in their own way. Jessica likes to believe fairytales and legends, while Robert usually comes up with a scientific explanation.

All the fish, animals and other discoveries are added to a database. Some fish can communicate and the player has to repeat the sounds made by a fish, using the four trigger buttons of the Sixaxis controller.

At all times, the unlocked area of the map is free to explore as you like.

English version
The game is currently only available in Japan and South East Asia (Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore), however the Asian version was re-released in November 2008 with Chinese and English languages replacing the original Japanese.  Given the fairly simple gameplay, the English version is understandable for teens and older players, but young children may be confused by the significant Engrish evident in the translation. The English-language version is also available in Korea.

Reception
Aquanaut's Holiday: Hidden Memories entered the Japanese sales charts at number 9, selling 18,000 units. The game received a score of 32 out of 40 by Famitsu magazine.
