Per Øisang (21 February 1920 – 12 January 1967) was a Norwegian journalist. He was best known as a radio and television presenter and correspondent in the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.

Early life
He was born in Tønsberg in 1920, but later moved to Trondheim. He was a student at the outset of World War II and subsequently during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany. He was arrested in Trondheim by the Nazi authorities on 2 November 1943, and was imprisoned at Falstad, then moved to Grini where he sat from 22 September 1944 to the liberation on 8 May 1945.

Career
He started his journalistic career in 1945 in Arbeider-Avisa, took the Master of Science degree in Chicago in 1947  and was hired as subeditor in Bergens Arbeiderblad in 1949. From 1954 he was a member of the board of the Norwegian Press Association, and chaired its local branch in Bergen. He left Bergen in 1959 to work with the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation's coverage of the Norwegian Parliament. Among others, he was in charge of televised debates during election campaigns in the early 1960s, although the role of the television presenters at the time was limited. The actual questioning of the political party representatives was conducted by other party representatives, an arrangement that would not change until the late 1960s.

In December 1964 Øisang was hired as the new foreign correspondent of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation news department, mainly appearing in the news program Dagsrevyen. He left this position in the summer of 1966, and was succeeded by Jahn Otto Johansen, at that time the only permanent foreign correspondent of Dagsrevyen. Øisang was hired as chief editor of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation news department. However, he died in January 1967, less than 47 years old.

Howard Christian Naffziger (1884–1961) was a reputed U.S. neurosurgeon, noted for his invention of the orbital decompression procedure, to alleviate intraocular pressure (that occurs in, e.g., goiter).

Christian Jacob Naffziger had immigrated to the United States from Bavaria and settled in Nevada City, California, after a stint as a farmer in Illinois. He met and married Lizzie Scott Naffziger, with whom he had three children. Only one, Howard Christian Naffziger, born on May 6, 1884, survived into adulthood. Howard Christian Naffziger graduated at the top of his Nevada City High School class, and took one more year of secondary education at Berkeley High School. He enrolled at UC Berkeley in 1902, but dropped out to work at the Culbertson Mine, because his father died of a heart attack, and Howard was expected to earn some money for his family. He returned to school in 1904, and earned a medical degree in 1909.

Naffziger interned at the UCSF Medical Center, and was a resident a Johns Hopkins University Hospital. After one year, he returned to San Francisco, set up his own surgical operation, and began teaching at the University of California Medical School. Naffziger's private practice was interrupted by World War I, during which he served at the Letterman Army Hospital. He rejoined the medical school after the war, and was responsible for founding the Department of Neuroscience, which he led until retirement in 1952. He also consulted with the Army in WWII, and came to England in July 1943 at the invitation of Brig. Gen. Paul Ramsey Hawley, Chief Surgeon, European Theater of Operations.  In retirement, Naffziger served on the board of regents for the University of California System. Naffziger, who had begun consulting the government on medical issues during World War II as a member of the National Research Council, continued as an adviser for the Surgeon General until his death in San Francisco on March 21, 1961.

He married Louise McNear in 1919, and had three children, Marion, Jean Louise and Elizabeth. Marion married William Horsley Orrick Jr., Jean Louise married Nicholas G. Thacher. and Elizabeth married W. Eugene Stern, M.D. who had been trained in neurosurgery by Dr. Naffziger at UCSF.

Marlon Sandro (born March 8, 1977) is a retired Brazilian mixed martial artist. He has competed for Bellator, Pancrase, Shooto, and World Victory Road. He is the former King of Pancrase Featherweight Champion and former Sengoku Featherweight Champion.

Background
Sandro is from Morro de Santo Amaro, a famous slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Growing up poor, Sandro worked several jobs as a teenager. Before being introduced to Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Sandro had trained in Capoeira and also competed in surfing.

Mixed martial arts career

Early career
Sandro made his professional MMA debut in November 2004.  He fought primarily in his native Brazil, amassing an undefeated streak of 12–0 before debuting for the World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku promotion.

King of Pancrase
Sandro made his Pancrase debut at Pancrase Rising 9 against Daiki Hata. He won by unanimous decision.

Sandro next fought Miki Shida at Pancrase: Shining 2. He won by KO.

In his next fight Sandro fought for the vacant King of Pancrase Featherweight Championship against Masaya Takita. He won via unanimous decision.

Sengoku
Sandro  participated in World Victory Road's Sengoku Featherweight Championship Tournament, losing by a "must decide" decision in the semi-finals to judo specialist and former UFC veteran Michihiro Omigawa. Scores were 30–30, 30–30, 30–29 Sandro (i.e. majority draw) but the judges with draws selected Omigawa in a "must decide" decision, giving him the "must decide split decision" 2–1.

His challenged Sengoku Featherweight Champion, Masanori Kanehara at World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku 13. Sandro won via KO 38 seconds into the first round. Kanehara was sent out of the ring in a stretcher. After the fight Sandro was ranked the No. 5 Featherweight in the world by Sherdog. On a side note, Marlon weighted 166 lbs one week before the fight.

Sandro lost the Sengoku Featherweight Championship to Hatsu Hioki at World Victory Road Presents: Soul of Fight on December 30, 2010, by unanimous decision (49–47, 48–47, 48–47). Hioki dominated nearly every round of the fight, and Sandro was given a yellow card in the first round. Sandro was nearly submitted several times in the final round by a chicken wing armlock, then by an armbar.

Bellator Fighting Championships
On February 23, it was announced Sandro had signed a multi-fight deal with Bellator Fighting Championships, and will be competing in their Season Four Tournament fights. Sandro made his debut with the promotion at Bellator 46 against Genair da Silva in his quarterfinal match of the  Bellator Fighting Championships: 2011 Summer Series Featherweight Tournament. While a seemingly clear-cut decision win, Sandro won the fight on only two scorecards (via 30–27 and 29–28 scores). A third judge scored the bout 29–28 for da Silva, which resulted in a split decision victory for Sandro.

Sandro faced Nazareno Malegarie in the semifinals at Bellator 47. He dominated Malegarie, and won the fight via unanimous decision.

Sandro fought Pat Curran at Bellator 48 in the finals of the tournament. After controlling the fight with his superior striking, Sandro lost via head kick KO late in the second round.

Sandro rebounded from the first KO loss of his career by submitting fellow Brazilian Rafael Dias in the first round at Bellator 58.

In March 2012, Sandro entered the Bellator Season Six Featherweight Tournament, where he defeated Roberto Vargas by submission in the first round. In the semifinals at Bellator 64, Sandro defeated Alexandre Bezerra via split decision.  Sandro faced Daniel Mason-Straus in the tournament finals at Bellator 68.  He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Sandro faced TUF 14 contestant Dustin Neace on November 16, 2012, at Bellator 81. Sandro won the fight via technical submission due to a rear-naked choke in the first round.

Sandro then participated in the Bellator Season Eight Featherweight Tournament at Bellator 88 on February 7, 2013, he faced Akop Stepanyan in the quarterfinal round. Sandro won the fight via majority decision. In the semifinal, Sandro faced Magomedrasul Khasbulaev at Bellator 92 and lost via third-round TKO.

Return To Pancrase
After a five-year absence, the former King of Pancrase Featherweight Champion returns at Pancrase 252: 20th Anniversary. Sandro took on Yojiro Uchimura. The fight went to a draw.

Next Sandro fought the current King of Pancrase Lightweight Champion in a Featherweight bout in the main event of Pancrase 266, but came up short losing by split decision.

Bellator return
On May 9, 2014, over a year since his last fight in Bellator, Sandro faced Chris Horodecki at Bellator 119 in Ontario, Canada. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Following the victory in his Bellator return, he had a mix of wins, losses, and even a draw in the following years. In 2015, Sandro faced Isao Kobayashi in Pancrase 266, where he pulled off a victory in a split decision. Later in the year, he had a match with Soo Chul Kim in Road FC 025, which ended in a unanimous draw. Despite this setback, Sandro bounced back with a win against Wanderson Michel in November 2015 during Shooto Brasil 59: Bahia. The victory was marked by a submission due to Michel's shoulder injury.

In 2016, Sandro experienced a significant loss against Mu Gyeom Choi via unanimous decision at Road FC 029, a fight that was for the ROAD FC Featherweight Championship. Despite this loss, Sandro finished the year on a positive note, defeating Koyomi Matsushima by TKO in Pancrase 283.

Sandro's winning streak continued into 2017, where he beat Diego Arturo Huerto Jauregui with an arm-triangle choke submission in Shooto Brazil 74. After this fight, Sandro's career was put on hold due to legal troubles; he was imprisoned due to domestic violence charges against his then-fiance. This led to a lengthy hiatus from his MMA career.

After serving a six- layoff, Sandro made a remarkable comeback to the ring in April 2023. Despite being 46 years old, he faced Alexandre Castro in Shooto Brazil 117 and won the bout, knocking out Castro with a front kick in the first round. This victory marked a significant moment in Sandro's career, signaling his return to MMA after overcoming personal and legal challenges.

Its inhabitants represent pioneer families, community and business leaders, miners, those who succumbed to tuberculosis, and others who helped write the history of Phoenix and Arizona. Margaret Geare of Dublin, Ireland, who was buried on Oct. 12, 1897, is believed to be the first to be buried in the cemetery. The cemetery is located at 2033 N. 48th Street.

A rotary hammer, also called rotary hammer drill is a power tool that can perform heavy-duty tasks such as drilling and chiseling hard materials. It is similar to a hammer drill in that it also pounds the drill bit in and out while it is spinning. However, rotary hammers use a piston mechanism instead of a special clutch. This causes them to deliver a much more powerful hammer blow, making it possible to drill bigger holes much faster. Most rotary hammers have three settings: drill mode, hammer drill or just hammer, so they can act as a mini jackhammer.

Function
Compared to less advanced power units known as hammer drills, rotary hammers tend to be larger and provide a bigger impact force by utilizing a technology called the "electro-pneumatic" (EP) hammering mechanism, because it is powered directly by electricity instead of a separate air compressor. Rotary hammers have two pistons – a drive piston, and a flying piston. An electric motor turns a crank, which moves the drive piston back and forth in a cylinder. The flying piston is at the other end of the same cylinder. The pistons do not actually touch, but the air pressure in the EP cylinder allows for a much more efficient transfer of hammering energy than springs in the cam-action style hammer drills. The majority of modern rotary hammers as well as all electric-powered chipping guns or jack-hammers all utilize this EP technology. Modern units allow the hammer and rotation functions to be used separately or in combination, i.e., hammer mode, drill mode, or both. When used in the hammer mode, the tool provides a drilling function similar to a jackhammer. Rotary hammer drills have an oil filled gearbox, which allows them to operate durably despite the large forces and shocks they receive and the grit-filled environments where they are often used.

The type of work they do means that they require a "slip-clutch" which engages when the drill bit jams and sufficient torque is put onto the "slip-clutch" mechanism. This stops the violent wrenching motion that a drill without a clutch would cause when stopped suddenly from full speed, protecting the drill from damage. The slip-clutch also protects the operator, but does not always prevent injury. Some manufacturers have introduced additional technology to protect the operator. Hilti has a technology called "ATC" or "Active Torque Control" which works by disengaging the drive from the motor when the tool body begins to rotate excessively through the action of a secondary magnetic clutch in addition to the standard slip-clutch. DeWALT has a related system called "CTC" or "Complete Torque Control" which utilizes a two-position slip-clutch so that the operator can select the lower torque setting for greater safety.

A number of "special shanks" have been developed by various manufacturers. Over the years a fair number of these proprietary systems evolved, but the remaining shanks in use today are: SDS+, SDS-MAX, and SPLINE SHANK.  These shanks were developed in order to allow for the bit to "slide" back and forth while rotating, so that the drill bit can efficiently transfer the force of the electro-pneumatic hammering mechanism to the working surface.

Use

Rotary hammers can be used for "doweling" (repetitive drilling of large rebar anchor holes), and drilling through-holes in concrete and masonry walls. The hammering action helps break up the masonry so that it can be removed by the drill bit's flutes. Apart from their main function of drilling concrete, the rotary action can be switched off and use is made of just the percussive force.  Chisel and point accessories are used for small chipping jobs.

Special chuck

Rotary hammers have such force that the usual masonry drill bits are no longer adequate. Their smooth shanks would be pounded loose from the tool's chuck in a few seconds. Rotary hammers require special bits with an SDS shank (which can stand for Slotted Drive Shaft or Special Direct System), which locks into the rotary hammer without the need for a chuck. The hammer strikes the bit directly, instead of the chuck holding the bit.

Jams
Jams are most often caused by hitting reinforcing steel or by a worn bit. In both cases the drill must be disengaged from the bit and the jammed bit backed out of the hole with vise grips or monkey wrench. Some bits utilize a full carbide "four-cutter" head with a geometry that makes jamming less common - even when rebar is present. These full-carbide "four-cutter" bits can even, in some instances, drill through rebar, although this should be done with caution. A worn drill bit will still drill a horizontal hole, although of a slightly smaller diameter than one created when it was new. When a drill like this is used to drill holes down into a concrete slab, the flutes are so worn that they can no longer lift the dust out of the hole; the concrete dust packs up in the hole and jams the bit.

History
Hilti had the first "electro-pneumatic" rotary hammer on the market in 1967, the Hilti TE 17

Types
The perforating devices differ, basically, depending on the intended use, which leads to the appropriate size, weight and impact force when applied:
 Relatively light electric punches (less than 10 kg) are prevalent in the construction field and the DIY market.
 Pneumatic perforators are used in mining industry and highway construction.
 Hydraulic hammers demonstrate the highest performance and weight (150 kg or more).
Operation of perforating equipment is associated with much noise. Only in the last 20 years it became possible to decrease the noise level to about 100 dB(A); earlier levels over 125 dB(A) were common.

An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong is a 2009 American television film and the fifth film in the American Girl series. It was the first American Girl film to focus on a Girl of the Year, starring Sammi Hanratty in the title role. It is based on the Chrissa books in the American Girl series written by Mary Casanova.

The film was directed by Martha Coolidge, from a screenplay by Christine Coyle Johnson and Julie Prendiville Roux. It won a 2009 Gold Award from National Parenting Publications (NAPPA).

Plot
Chrissa Maxwell and her family move from Iowa to Minnesota in order to be closer to Chrissa's grandmother, Louise "Nana" Hanlon, after the death of Chrissa's grandfather. At her new school, Chrissa has difficulty making friends and soon finds herself bullied by Tara James, Sonali Matthews and Jayden Johnson, a trio of girls called the Mean Bees.

Chrissa tries to befriend another girl, Gwen Thompson, who’s also being bullied by Tara, Sonali and Jayden. Gwen avoids Chrissa at first, but Chrissa later finds out that Gwen avoided her because she was homeless and ashamed of it; Chrissa and Gwen then become best friends. Later, Gwen tells Chrissa in the music room that her mom got a job and they're moving into an apartment. Tara, Jayden and Sonali overhear the conversation between them. Gwen asks Chrissa to cut her bangs for her in the bathroom. Tara, Jayden and Sonali enter and Tara offers to cut them for Gwen. She purposely does a terrible job, telling Gwen she really looks like a homeless person. Gwen gets angry at Chrissa because she thinks that Chrissa told Tara that she is homeless. The other girls are sent to the principal's office where they are asked to tell the truth. Tara lies and says that Chrissa told her about Gwen being homeless; Jayden also lies and says that she didn't see anything. However, Sonali tells Mrs. Ziminsky the truth about what happened. The principal suspends Tara, Sonali and Jayden — Tara for three days, and Sonali and Jayden for only a day. After her suspension, Sonali apologizes to Gwen about all the mean things she has done to her, and leaves Tara and Jayden, then befriending Chrissa and Gwen.

After the incident, the bullying gets more intense. Posters and rumors about Chrissa on the Internet are spread around by Tara and Jayden. Chrissa quits her school swim team as a result of being picked on, after an incident that involved her older brother, Tyler. Chrissa gets advice from Mrs. Rundell, her art teacher, to tell her parents about the bullying. After she tells her parents, they help Chrissa see that sometimes, bullies are mean because they want to feel better about themselves, and try to do so by insulting others and putting them down.

With her newfound confidence, Chrissa and her friends show everyone that they are happy with who they are by doing fun things such as wearing homemade painted headbands. Their happiness and confidence annoys Tara and Jayden, but the three friends ignore them. Chrissa decides to do a project to make people aware that about bullying, and rejoins the swim team. The big swim competition approaches, and Chrissa realizes that she and Tara have to work together if they want to win the relay. Although Tara is reluctant, Chrissa assures her that though they may not be best friends, they can still work together to win. Their teamwork earns them their victory, and they reconcile and hug.

The 4th grade class present their project about how bullying affects everyone and how friendship can overcome bullying. One of Chrissa's best friends from her previous school, Amanda, visits her for the summer; Amanda befriends Sonali and Gwen, and the four become best friends.

Main characters
Chrissa Maxwell - (Sammi Hanratty) - A 10-year-old girl who is bullied by Tara, and Jayden. She doesn't want to tell anyone because she thinks if she tells that she'll be a tattletale, so she decides to keep the bullying a secret. She joins the school's swim team, but soon quits after an accident at the pool involving her older brother, Tyler, but she soon understands that the reason that she quit shows her less than who she actually is and to her foes. She then works with Tara to win by assuring her, that even if they can't be best friends, or any kind of friends for that matter, their work together will earn a victory; which proves actually did. Her best friends are Amanda, Gwen Thompson and Sonali.
Tyler Maxwell - (Austin Thomas) - Tyler is Chrissa's older brother. He also joins the school's swim team, but he has to quit after he gets injured. He plays a small part in Tara's plans.
Gwen Thompson - (Kaitlyn Dever) - A homeless girl who lives in a shelter called Sunrise House. She is very lonely and shy until she meets Chrissa. Chrissa becomes friends with her after she hears Gwen playing her violin at school and offering her homemade chocolate chip cookies at lunch. Gwen lost her father 18 months before the story.
Tara James - (Adair Tishler) - The leader of the Mean Bees and a bully at Chrissa's school. She and her friends Sonali and Jayden do mean and sometimes cruel things to anyone that gets in her way. Chrissa, Tyler, and Gwen are her enemies, but she works with Chrissa at the last team meet and their work earns the victory of the meet and hugs her. Her friend, Sonali quits and like Jayden, Tara was resentful for it. She soon realizes that her bullying has consequences and eventually befriends Chrissa.
Sonali Matthews - (Ariela Barer) - Sonali is the dark haired friend of Tara and Jayden at the beginning of the film, but soon realizes that they were being extremely mean. She makes amends with Chrissa Maxwell and Gwen Thompson, eventually even becoming best friends with them. She is proven to be loyal, sweet, caring and sensitive. She loves to do arts and crafts much like Chrissa, and when she works on painting a bowl for Gwen's homeless shelter, Sonali and Chrissa become very close.
Jayden Johnson - (Shelby Harmon) - A friend of Tara who plays a small part in her plans. She stays loyal to Tara, unlike Sonali. (The spelling of her name in the book is "Jadyn", but is changed in the film to "Jayden.") Jayden became angry after Sonali left her club and is the only one who blames Sonali for getting her and Tara suspended.

Minor characters
Meg Maxwell - (Annabeth Gish) - Chrissa's mother, who just got a job as a doctor at St. Lukes hospital in Edgewater. She tries to protect Chrissa from bullying and at the end, gives her the idea to stop bullying. She tells her that standing strong is the most important thing when you are bullied whether it is for you, or a friend.
Paul Maxwell - (Timothy Bottoms) - Chrissa's father who gives her the idea that her social 4th grade project should be about bullying. He also runs a pottery studio.
Louise "Nana" Hanlon - (Michael Learned) - Chrissa's grandmother, mother of Mrs. Maxwell, a widow whose house the Maxwell family moved into. She is also always there for Chrissa and protects her from the bullying.
Mrs. Ziminsky - (Joanne Baron) - Chrissa's school principal, who always tries to keep Chrissa and the other bullies out of trouble.
Mr. Beck - (Don Franklin) - Chrissa's teacher at Edgewater Elementary and swim coach. He also tries to keep Chrissa and the other bullies out of trouble.
 Mrs. Rundell - (Jennifer Tilly) - Chrissa's art teacher at Edgewater Elementary.
 Ms. Janine Thompson - (Jennifer Parsons) - Gwen's mother, a widow, who lives with her at Sunrise House, later an apartment.

The Mulkerrin Brothers (often referred to as The Mulkerrins) are a trio of traditional Irish musicians and performers. The three are brothers, Pádraig Mulkerrin (b. 22 March 1994), Éamonn Mulkerrin and Seán Mulkerrin, who come from the Aran Islands.

They were winners of the first series of The All Ireland Talent Show in 2009. They appeared on television shows including Seoige , Keeping Up With The Kardashians,Tubridy Tonight following their win and gave a performance with Sinéad O'Connor in London. They announced a nationwide tour of Ireland in late 2009. In 2010 they were succeeded by Chloe Coyle as winner of second series of The All Ireland Talent Show.

Style
The Mulkerrins are three brothers who come from Inis Mór, one of the Aran Islands. Their parents Martin and Bridie, were also born on the Aran Islands. Bridie lived in Wales, where she learned classical music, until she reached the age of sixteen. Her mother came from Cork. The Mulkerrin Brothers have a fourth brother, eight-year-old Máirtín, who does not perform with them and has little interest in music yet.

In March 2009, the three performing brothers ranged in age from nine to fourteen. Pádraig is fourteen years old, Éamonn is eleven-years-old and Seán is nine-years old. Seán attracted attention for his sean-nós dancing. Seán and Éamon play sport, both training in rugby at Carraroe, whilst Seán also plays Gaelic football on Inis Mór.

History

The All Ireland Talent Show
The Mulkerrin Brothers took part in auditions for the RTÉ One television series The All Ireland Talent Show which were held at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT), County Galway on 22 November 2008. According to Pádraig, "We just entered to see what the hype was and mostly just to meet Jacksie from Killanscully  and Daithí Ó Sé". They were chosen by mentor Daithí Ó Sé as one of his five acts to represent The West in the live finals which took place during February and March 2009, with their selection broadcast on the second episode on 11 January 2009. They progressed to the live final by winning the semi-final on 15 February 2009. They defeated the North's representative Niamh McGlinchey, the East's representative Holly Ann Traynor and Dublin's representative Elle N Elle, whilst the South's representative Moneeka Murkerjee progressed to the Wildcard selection but did not make the final herself.

During the final they competed against Dublin's representatives Bert & Victor, the North's representative Clíona Hagan, fellow representative of the West Daithí O Dronaí, wildcard selection representing the East Donna Marie Sluggs, and the South's representative Jack Lynch a.k.a. B Boy Six. The Mulkerrins performed last on the night and defeated runner up Jack Lynch to win the series. They won a prize of €50,000 following a vote by the general public.

Post-The All Ireland Talent Show
The Mulkerrin Brothers performed their winning piece on Seoige the following day. An appearance on Tubridy Tonight followed on 21 March 2009. Pádraig described their homecoming to Inis Mór as the highlight of the year: “Everybody from the island was on the pier to meet us and there was a big function in the local hall”.

They made their debut at a sold-out show in Ennis, County Clare. They have also performed alongside Sinéad O'Connor in London, UK. A nationwide tour has been launched. A debut album is being recorded. They will feature in a documentary which will air on Christmas Day.

As of 2022, Sean Mulkerrin has embarked on a Gaelic football career, and plays for Aran Islands GAA, and the Galway county football team.

A working rat is any rat which is trained for specific tasks as a working animal. In many cases, working rats are domesticated brown rats. However, other species, notably the Gambian pouched rat, have also been trained to assist humans.

Domesticated brown rats as working animals
Pet rats derived from Rattus norvegicus, such as fancy rats and laboratory rats, have been trained for various jobs:

Forensics
In the Netherlands, police have begun using brown rats to sniff out gunshot residue. Ed Kraszewski, spokesman for the task force, has said that the rats are easier and cheaper to train than dogs.

Entertainment

Rats have been trained to appear in magic acts, music videos, movies, and television shows. Samantha Martin, a professional animal trainer, has claimed that rats are one of the easiest animals to train due to their adaptability, intelligence, and focus.

Laying computer link cable

By being trained to carry a string through holes in walls, a rat can help economically wire a building for the Internet; afterwards, people use the string to pull the computer link cable through.

As therapy and assistance animals

Domestic rats are used as therapy animals for children with developmental disabilities. Their small size may be less threatening to some children, and therapy centers with limited space can easily house a few rats.

Domestic rats have been trained as service animals, such as to identify damaging muscle spasms for people whose ability to sense this has been compromised by their disability. Dani Moore's service rats are trained to lick her neck when a spasm starts so that she can do stretching exercises or take medication to prevent the spasms from getting out of control. "'The spasms are so intense,' she said, 'that they’ve caused her to break a vertebra in the past.' "   "...Service dogs are not an option because they're too heavy and restless to sit on her shoulder." Non-aggressive, bathed biweekly, and never touching the ground, Dani Moore's rats are rarely even noticed by people when she is out in public; nonetheless, she is understanding of people who have phobias of rats.  However, a fear of rats, just like a fear of dogs, is not a valid reason "for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals.". A video of one of her rats working at his job is available from the AP Archive: Silver the rat helps owner cope with medical condition.

Gambian pouched rats as working animals

A Belgian non-government organization, APOPO, trains Gambian pouched rats (Cricetomys gambianus) to sniff out land mines and tuberculosis. The trained pouched rats are called HeroRATS. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide commit to "adopt" rats and pay to support them.

In time management, gold plating is the phenomenon of working on a project or task past the point of diminishing returns.

Phenomenon
For example: after having met the requirements, the project manager or the developer works on further enhancing the product, thinking the customer will be delighted to see additional or more polished features, rather than what was asked for or expected. The customer might be disappointed in the results, and the extra effort by the developer might be futile.

Gold plating is also considered a bad project management practice for different project management best practices and methodologies such as Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and PRINCE2. In this case, 'gold plating' means the addition of any feature not considered in the original scope plan (PMBOK) or product description (PRINCE2) at any point of the project. This is because it introduces a new source of risks to the original planning such as additional testing, documentation, costs, or timelines. However, avoiding gold plating does not prevent new features from being added to the project; they can be added at any time as long as they follow the official change procedure and the impact of the change in all the areas of the project is taken into consideration.

Effects of gold plating
Even the best outcomes of gold plating can ultimately lead to negative realities for a project manager or for the project as a whole. In a best-case scenario, the customer accepts the project deliverable with the out-of-scope work, and customer expectations on future projects may forever be elevated to unrealistic levels. In a worst-case scenario, the customer might reject the project deliverable entirely and nullify the contract.

The Lefroy Ministry was the 13th Ministry of the Government of Western Australia and was led by Nationalist Premier Sir Henry Lefroy. It succeeded the Second Wilson Ministry on 28 June 1917 due to most members of the former Liberal Party, of which the previous Premier, Frank Wilson, had been the leader, pledging allegiance to the new party. The Lefroy Ministry, which was the first Coalition ministry in Western Australia, was also the only Ministry of a non-Labor government to be chosen by caucus.

The ministry fell due to internal pressures within the party room, stemming in part from Hal Colebatch's handling as Acting Premier of quarantine regulations arising from the influenza epidemic, with Lefroy and two ministers at one point being stranded in Melbourne for several weeks. A party meeting on their return resulted in Lefroy resigning the leadership and Colebatch being elected leader. He formed the short-lived Colebatch Ministry on 17 April 1919.

The following ministers served for the duration of the Ministry:

  When National Labor Party member John Scaddan was appointed a Minister, he was required to resign and contest his seat of Brownhill-Ivanhoe in a ministerial by-election. Scaddan lost the by-election held on 21 July 1917 to Labor candidate John Lutey. This was only the second occasion in Western Australia's parliamentary history—the first having been the defeat of half of the Morgans Ministry in December 1901—that a Minister had failed to retain his seat at a ministerial by-election resulting from his appointment. Fellow National Labor member Charles Hudson was appointed in his place.
  William Thomas failed to win his seat at the 1917 state election and hence was removed from the ministry on 26 September 1917.

Stretford Children's Theatre is a youth theatre based in Stretford, England. It was founded in the 1940s by Bertram H. Holland, and ceased to exist in the late 1970s or early 1980s. An offshoot adult theatre company made up of former members of the children's theatre existed in the 1970s. It was resurrected in October 2015 by Shelly Quinton-Hulme MBE who gathered a group of local Stretford people together to reform the theatre group and return the group to Stretford Public Hall. Holland wrote a book about the theatre in 1968 called Beginners on Stage.

History
Founded in 1945 by B.H. Holland. It moved to premises on Sidney Street after Bertram Holland's death. The last remaining trace of the former Stretford Children's Theatre is the Bertram Holland Trophy which is awarded annually by the Greater Manchester Drama Federation.

Former members

Former members include Lynn Roden, John Comer, Vicky Ogden, John Mahoney, June Ritchie, and Brian Trueman,.

Christiane Ouimet (born in St. Albert, Ontario, Canada) was the first Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada. She retired on October 18, 2010.

Canada's Auditor General report released on December 9, 2010, alleged that the former watchdog commissioner intimidated employees and engaged in "retaliatory actions" and may have breached the Privacy Act.  This report also stated that "allegations made by the former PSIC employee that the Commissioner undertook a series of retaliatory actions against him because she believed that he had complained about her to the Auditor General and that he had cooperated in our audit are founded."

Salomon Ulmann (February 25, 1806 at Saverne, Bas-Rhin – May 5, 1865 in Paris), was a French rabbi.

He commenced his rabbinical studies at Strasburg under Moïse Bloch (better known as Rabbi Mosche Utenheim), and was the first pupil enrolled at the initial competitive examination of candidates for the École Centrale Rabbinique (Séminaire israélite de France or SIF), inaugurated in July, 1830. He was also the first in his class at this institution to receive the diploma of chief rabbi. In 1834 he was appointed rabbi of Lauterbourg, Alsace; in 1844 he became chief rabbi of Nancy, in Lorraine; and in 1853 he succeeded Marchand Ennery as chief rabbi of the Central Consistory of the Israelites of France.

Ulmann published a limited number of sermons and pastoral letters, and was the author also of Catéchisme, ou Éléments d'Instruction Religieuse et Morale à l'Usage des Jeunes Israélites (Strasburg, 1845; 3rd ed., Paris, 1871), which is considered a classic.

The most important act in Ulmann's rabbinical career was the organization of the Central Conference of the Chief Rabbis of France, over whose deliberations he presided at Paris in May, 1856. In that year Ulmann addressed a "Pastoral Letter to the Faithful of the Jewish Religion," in which he set forth the result of the deliberations of the conference, which were as follows:
 revision and abbreviation of the piyyutim;
 the introduction of a regular system of preaching;
 the introduction of the organ into synagogues;
 the organization of religious instruction;
 the institution of the rite of confirmation for the Jewish youth of both sexes;
 a resolution for the transfer of the École Centrale Rabbinique from Metz to Paris.

Universal Compassion: Inspiring Solutions for Difficult Times, Tharpa Publications (4th. ed., 2002)  is a commentary to Geshe Chekhawa's Training the Mind in Seven Points by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, a Buddhist teacher and author in the West.

Training the Mind in Seven Points is an explanation of Buddha's instructions on training the mind or Lojong in Tibetan, which explain how to transform adverse conditions into the path to enlightenment, principally, by developing one's own compassion and wisdom. Geshe Chekhawa or Chekawa Yeshe Dorje (1102–1176 AD) was a famous Kadampa Buddhist meditation master. Universal Compassion is a word by word commentary to Training the Mind in Seven Points, described as "an admirable accomplishment in presenting the profound teachings of present-day Mahayana Buddhism" and "An inspiring book for all who aspire to practise the Buddhist path". The commentary also contains a clear translation of the root text.

Buddha's teachings emphasize unconditional love and compassion, and in this commentary to the popular Buddhist poem Training the Mind in Seven Points, the author explains powerful Buddhist methods for developing these altruistic states. The practice of Lojong also explains how one can transform day-to-day living – including even demanding and difficult conditions – into opportunities for spiritual development.

The Lojong teachings in Universal Compassion have been used by caregivers, healers and hospice workers in the UK and US both to help them cope and to find effective techniques to manage the suffering of the ill and the dying. For example, hospice psychologist Kathleen Dowling Singh (author of Grace in Dying) explains: The Lojong teachings... are particularly applicable for those caregivers who see the ultimate unworkability of viewing the needs of self and other in opposition and who seek to find a way to give care and benefit to both self and other simultaneously. These Dharma teachings bridge the gap from ordinary mind to enlightened mind, illuminating the process whereby, with effort, we are able to exchange the object of our cherishing from self to other."

Taking and giving is a profound practice that takes some getting used to. The author says: "At first we may find it difficult to take on others' sufferings... but this will become easier as our compassion increases." (page 37) Joan Borysenko PhD, who calls Universal Compassion "a marvelous book on the practice of tonglen", supports this observation: People sometimes fear that tonglen (taking and giving) will harm them when they imagine breathing in pain, ignorance or illness. The Tibetan lamas say that the only thing we can harm with tonglen is our ego and its self-grasping, which will dissolve in the intention of compassion.

In fact the object of meditation for taking and giving is great joy: "We develop the conviction that we have destroyed our self-cherishing mind and purified our negative karma, and then generate joy. We meditate on this feeling of joy for as long as possible."

The teachings in Universal Compassion give a step-by-step explanation of developing the minds of love, compassion and wisdom and in this way progressing along the spiritual path to enlightenment. Kathleen Dowling Singh explains: Step by step, the Lojong practices, when practiced with sincere effort, strong faith, and deep intention, move us through the stages of the Mahayana path. We develop "equalizing self and others", the capacity and willingness to cherish all living beings to the same degree that we cherish ourself. We work to develop the capacity for wishing love, that is to say, the wish that all living beings be happy. The Lojong practices then offer skillful means to develop our compassion, the wish that all living beings without exception be free from suffering and its causes. We make the precious practice of taking and giving second nature. This practice enhances and completes our exchanging the object of our cherishing from self to other. From this attainment, we can develop the mind of enlightenment, bodhichitta.

Universal Compassion is part of the Kadam tradition of Mahayana Buddhism. Training the Mind And Cultivating Loving Kindness by Chogyam Trungpa explains that the Kadam lineage, founded by Atisha, places great emphasis on monastic discipline, the cultivation or bodhichitta and compassion, and mind training. This emphasis was carried into the Kagyu lineage by Gampopa. The origin and history of the Lojong teachings,  which come from the Kadam lineage, are explained in Universal Compassion.

These practices are not restricted only to Buddhists, and Universal Compassion "could be read with profit by anyone whose religion demands the exercise of compassion." These teachings explain how all living beings are equally important and help create a world that does not discriminate based on people's background, faith, sexual orientation and so on.

Universal Compassion is used as an integral part of the New Kadampa Tradition's Foundation Program with tens of thousands of students worldwide, described by Steven Heine in Buddhism in the Modern World: Adaptations of an Ancient Tradition:

The Foundation Program is meant for serious students who want a guided study at a deeper level than they can get through the series of Lamrim talks, usually all pitched to a beginner's capacity, that normally constitute the fare of Western Dharma centers.

It is also an integral part of the New Kadampa Tradition's Teacher Training Program, a rigorous "multilayered educational" study program of Buddha's teachings of Sutra and Tantra presented in accordance with the tradition of the Tibetan master Je Tsongkhapa (AD 1357–1419), designed for those training as Buddhist teachers.

Jonas Ennery (; Jan. 2, 1801, Nancy - May 19, 1863, Brussels) was a French deputy. He was for twenty-six years attached to the Jewish school of Strasbourg, of which he became the head. In collaboration with Hirth, he compiled a Dictionnaire Général de Géographie Universelle (4 vols., Strasburg, 1839–41), for which Cuvier wrote a preface. Soon afterward he published Le Sentier d'Israël, ou Bible des Jeunes Israélites (Paris, Metz, and Strasburg, 1843). At the request of the Société des Bons Livres he took part in the editorship of Prières d'un Cœur Israélite, which appeared in 1848.

In 1849, despite anti-Jewish rioting in Alsace, Ennery was elected representative for the department of the Lower Rhine, and sat among the members of the "Mountain." He devoted his attention principally to scholastic questions. After the coup d'état he resisted the new order of things, and was exiled for life in 1852. He retired to Brussels, where he lived as a teacher until his death.

Ennery's brother, Marchand Ennery, was the chief rabbi of Paris.

Left Ecology Freedom (, SEL) was a democratic socialist political party in Italy whose bulk was formed by former members of the Communist Refoundation Party.

The party's leader was Nichi Vendola, a former President of Apulia. On 17 December 2016, SEL dissolved into Italian Left, which was officially launched as a party in early 2017.

History

Left and Freedom
SEL was formed as an alliance called Left and Freedom (Sinistra e Libertà, SL) in the run up to the 2009 European Parliament election in order to overcome the 4% threshold introduced by the new electoral law in February 2009.

At the time of formation, on 16 March 2009, SL included:
Movement for the Left (MpS, socialist/communist, leader: Nichi Vendola, 2 MEPs)
Socialist Party (PS, social-democratic, leader: Riccardo Nencini, 4 MEPs)
Federation of the Greens (FdV, green, leader: Grazia Francescato, 2 MEPs)
Democratic Left (SD, democratic socialist, leader: Claudio Fava)
Unite the Left (UlS, socialist/communist, leaders: Umberto Guidoni, Katia Bellillo, 1 MEP)

The electoral symbol for the 2009 election included the logos of the Party of European Socialists (PES), the Federation of the Greens (a member of the European Greens), the European United Left–Nordic Green Left (GUE–NGL).

In the election, SL failed to pass the 4% threshold. Despite that, it was decided that SL would become a party.

Road to the new party
In October 2009, during a party congress, the Greens elected a new party leader, Angelo Bonelli, and voted to opt out from the process of the foundation of the new party. However, Francescato and her faction decided to keep supporting SL as Ecologists with Left Ecology Freedom and leave the Greens. SL was also weakened by the split occurred within PS, when the United Socialists, who were opposed to the integration of PS into SL, walked out. Finally in November SL was hit by the sudden opt-out of the whole PS. Since November 2009 SL was thus composed of MpS, SD, UlS, the Ecologists and Socialism and Left, a small minority of PS that wanted to continue the experience of SL.

In December SL was officially launched as a party, and Vendola was elected spokesperson.

After an important meeting in September in Naples, where it was decided to add "Ecology" to the party's name, in December 2009 Left Ecology and Freedom (SEL) held a constituent assembly in Rome. The new symbol was presented and Vendola was confirmed as spokesperson.

SEL, often in coalition with the PS, did well in the 2010 regional elections, especially in Central and Southern Italy. Overall, SEL won 3.0% of the vote, with the PS at 0.7% and the Greens at 0.2%. In the Apulian election Vendola was re-elected President of the Region and trailed SEL to 9.7%, its best regional result.

The party was officially founded in a congress in Florence on 22–24 October 2010. Vendola was elected president.

Road to the 2013 general election
In 2011 and 2012, the party offered a strong competition to the Democratic Party (PD) in coalition primaries in many cities. In May 2011 Giuliano Pisapia and Massimo Zedda, who had been supported by SEL in primaries, were elected mayors of Milan and Cagliari, respectively. The party gained 5% in Milan, 6% in Turin, 10% in Bologna, 6% in Trieste, 4% in Naples and 7% in Cagliari.

In occasion of the 2011 referendums of June 2011 (on the abrogation of a law allowing the construction of nuclear power plants in Italy, the abrogation of a law allowing the privatisation of water management and the abrogation of so-called "legitimate impediment"), SEL gave full support to the "yes" committees. In May 2012, Marco Doria, another independent close to SEL, was elected Mayor of Genoa.

In August 2012, Vendola announced his bid for the primary election in order to select the candidate for Prime Minister of the PD-led centre-left coalition in the 2013 general election. On 25 November of the same year, Vendola won 15.6% of the vote and came third behind Democrats Pier Luigi Bersani (44.9%) and Matteo Renzi (35.5%). In the run-off Vendola supported Bersani, who defeated Renzi 60.9% to 39.1%. SEL selected its candidates for the election through a closed primary in December 2012.

2013 general election
In the 2013 general election, which took place in February 2013, the party was part of the centre-left Italy. Common Good coalition, which supported PD leader Pier Luigi Bersani as candidate for Prime Minister. In the election SEL won 3.2% of the vote, returning 37 deputies and 7 senators. In its Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol's list SEL included some representatives of the Greens of South Tyrol: one of them, Florian Kronbichler, was elected to the Chamber.

On 16 March 2013, Laura Boldrini, an independent member of SEL, was elected President of the Chamber of Deputies.

In September 2013, SEL expressed its intention to join the Party of European Socialists (PES), however in January 2014, the party finally endorsed Alexis Tsipras, leader of the Greek Coalition of the Radical Left (Syriza) and standard-bearer of the Party of European Left in the 2014 European Parliament election, as their chosen candidate for President of the European Commission, and contested the election within The Other Europe electoral list.

2014 European Parliament election
Ahead of the 2014 European Parliament election the party participated in the formation of a left-wing joint list, The Other Europe, which was endorsed by Alexis Tsipras and included several intellectuals and the Communist Refoundation Party. In the election the list obtained 4.0% of the vote and 3 MEPs.

Right after the election, the party suffered a severe split in its parliamentary ranks as 12 deputies out of 37, including the floor leader Gennaro Migliore (who was replaced by Nicola Fratoianni and, soon after, Arturo Scotto), left the party over disagreements with the party's line and started to support the Renzi Cabinet. The bulk of the splinters joined forces in Freedom and Rights – European Socialists, while some others directly joined Renzi's Democratic Party.

Dissolution into Italian Left
In November 2015, SEL formed a joint parliamentary group in the Chamber, named Italian Left (SI), with splinters from the PD (see Future to the Left) and other parties. In February 2016, SI held its constituent assembly in Rome, where it was announced that SI will be founded as a full-fledged party in December. In March 2016, SI was established as a sub-group within the Mixed Group in the Senate: five SEL senators joined, while other two (including Sardist Luciano Uras) refused to do so.

On 17 December 2016, SEL was merged into SI, which would be officially launched as a party in early 2017.

The Sunday Times / University of Warwick Young Writer of the Year award is a literary prize awarded to a British author under the age of 35 for a published work of fiction, non-fiction or poetry. It is administered by the Society of Authors and has been running since 1991.

History
The Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award is said here to have originally run between 1991 and 2009, but there is evidence to confirm that it began twenty years earlier. At that time entries confined to short stories and were published in the newspaper itself. The 1974 winner was Charles Nicholl, who went on to become well-known for historical biographies. "The Ups and The Downs" was Charles Nicholl's disturbing and humorous account of a bad LSD trip in London.

It was re-invigorated with the support of literary agents Peters Fraser + Dunlop in 2015 under the new name Sunday Times / Peters Fraser + Dunlop Young Writer of the Year Award.

In 2019 the University of Warwick took over as co-sponsor. The award was renamed as The Sunday Times / University of Warwick Young Writer of the Year Award.

In 1999, Paul Farley's The Boy from the Chemist is Here to See You "was so well received", according to the Encyclopedia of British Writers, that "it was named Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award".
