Henry Giles (1 November 1809 – 10 July 1882) was a Unitarian minister and writer.

Biography
Born in County Wexford to a Roman Catholic family, Giles changed his religious belief several times, becoming a Protestant and a Dissenter, He studied for a time at the Royal Academical Institution of Belfast. before finally becoming a Unitarian and officiating as a minister of that denomination in Greenock, Scotland and chapel of Toxteth Park, in the edge of Liverpool, England.

It was during his three years preaching in Liverpool that Giles gained a reputation as a preacher of marked oratorical power. In "the Liverpool Controversy," - an extended debate held in 1839 between thirteen clergymen of the Established Church on one hand, and Giles, along with James Martineau and John Hamilton Thom defending the Unitarian position on the other hand. Giles spoke on the topics "God and Christ," "Man," "Creeds" and "Future Retribution." A record of the debate was published under the name Unitarianism Defended.

In 1840, Giles moved to the United States, where he preached, lectured extensively, and wrote. He was widely known as a lecturer, and his numerous volumes of literary interpretation and criticism were well-received, particularly his Human Life in Shakespeare. Other works included Lectures and Essays (2 vols. 1845), Christian Thoughts on Life (1850), and Illustrations of Genius in Some of its Applications to Society and Culture. He was married in 1849, in Bangor, Maine, to Louise Lord, of Bucksport, Maine, with whom he had two daughters, and a son. One daughter, Nora, was drowned off Bucksport in 1869, at the age of 18, in a sailing accident.

Giles was plagued by a variety of health issues. He had a hunchbacked, dwarfish stature which he claimed resulted from a nurse having let him fall as an infant, injuring his spine. Throughout his life, he struggled with alcoholism; although he initially found strong drink distasteful, he became acclimated to liquor when it was prescribed to him to counter an illness. His public life came to an abrupt halt around 1865, when he suffered a sudden paralytic attack while lecturing in Boston. He lived for 17 years thereafter, and died in Quincy, Massachusetts. He was an avid reader and was proficient in both French and German.

J. C. Penney Company, Inc. established JCPenney Afterschool, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to ensuring that every child in need has access to an afterschool program in their community. As an advocate for the afterschool issue, JCPenney works to increase opportunities offered by afterschool programs. Through its legacy of supporting youth and charitable organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, YMCA of the USA, National 4-H Conference, United Way and FIRST, JCPenney formalized its commitment to the afterschool issue by making it the company’s signature cause in 1999.

Since its inception, more than $80 million has been distributed to afterschool programs in every JCPenney community.

About the afterschool issue
A study shows that one out of every four children in America are on their own between the hours of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Despite growing participation in afterschool programs (8.4 million children), the availability of quality afterschool programs is not keeping pace with the rising needs of 15 million children who have no place to go after school. JCPenney works with afterschool organizations to increase the accessibility and affordability of afterschool programs across the country.

Contributions and fundraising
Round-up for JCPenney Afterschool

In 2007, JCPenney began fundraising events throughout the year to allow the community to support an afterschool program. During each event, customers are invited to round-up their JCPenney purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to JCPenney Afterschool. In 2009, customer contributions resulted in an annual total of $4.7 million. All proceeds raised directly benefitted a local afterschool program in over 1,100 communities where JCPenney has a store.

Sponsorship of the Rascal Flatts Unstoppable Tour

JCPenney was the official sponsor of the Rascal Flatts Unstoppable tour. The band promoted JCPenney's brand "American Living," a concept by Polo Ralph Lauren's Global Concept Group. In conjunction with the tour, Rascal Flatts wrote a bonus track for their new CD to debut April 7, 2009, entitled "American Living." $1 of each CD sold was donated to JCPenney Afterschool.

Henry Gordon "Harry" Rowe (2 February 1925 – 1 April 2014) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne and umpired in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

A VAFA premiership player with Melbourne High School, Rowe played twice at the Melbourne Football Club over two separate seasons.

In 1948 Rowe took up field umpiring with the VFL Second Eighteens (later VFL Reserve Grade) and the following season he was promoted to the VFL senior list. He umpired his first VFL Second Eighteens match in 1950 and in 1951 he was appointed to his first VFL senior match – South Melbourne versus Essendon at the Lake Oval. At the conclusion of this match the crowd hurled various missiles at Rowe but none struck him.

Rowe umpired the 1955 Fitzroy versus Geelong match in which Fitzroy forward Tony Ongarello scored two goals from place-kicks.  These remain the last two goals to be scored in such a fashion in the VFL/AFL. It was Rowe's final VFL senior match.

Continuing to umpire until 1963, primarily in the country, his final career totals were 16 VFL, 27 VFL Second Eighteens, 244 VCFL, 25 Tasmanian and 3 Metropolitan Football League matches, including 48 finals over 15 seasons.

He was awarded life membership of the Victorian Football League Umpires' Association in 1959.

Through much of his time as a footballer and umpire Rowe also played for the Richmond Cricket Club and was selected for 81 First XI matches.

Rowe died in Melbourne on 1 April 2014.

Alpheus Mytilenaeus (Gr. ) was the author of about twelve epigrams in the Greek Anthology, some of which seem to point out the time when he wrote.  In the seventh epigram he refers to the state of the Roman Empire, as embracing almost all the known world; in the ninth he speaks of the restored and flourishing city of Troy; and in the tenth he alludes to an epigram by Antipater of Sidon.  Antipater lived under Augustus, in the second half of the 1st century BC, and Troy had received great favors from Julius Caesar and Augustus.  Therefore, it is not improbable that Alpheus also wrote under Augustus.  It is true that in the fourth epigram he addresses a certain Macrinus, but there is no reason to suppose that this was the emperor Macrinus.

Henry Azra, also spelled Henri Azra, (born 21 January 1952 in Casablanca, Morocco) is a Los Angeles-based classical Moroccan musician. Henry Azra is the son of the renowned international Kanunist, Salim Azra, who contributed to much of the success of Samy Elmaghribi and Salim Halali. Salim Azra was a favorite to King Mohammad V and was regularly asked to play at the King's Royal Palace.  Following in his late father's footsteps, Henry is famously known for playing the Kanun.

Early life
Henry Azra was born in Casablanca and moved to Canada at age thirteen. Growing up in Montreal, Azra became a student of his father; his life revolved around music and he spent much of his childhood learning about musicianship. Over the years, Henry Azra learned to master numerous instruments including the Kanun, Oud, Darbuka and Violin.

Not widely known, Henry Azra in fact first started his career as a musician by playing the Darbuka at various musical clubs with his father in Montreal long before playing the Kanun. After years of playing the Darbuka, Azra slowly transitioned to the Kanun. As years went by, recognition throughout Quebec for his special talents grew.  Henry Azra later moved to Los Angeles to continue his stardom and started his life there with his wife, Violette, and three children.

Henry Azra is considered by many a virtuouso and is rated one of the top Qanunists.

Music career
His first professional recording experience was performing in the 1980s in Los Angeles, California with Heidi, one of Iran’s top traditional singers. Henry Azra played and recorded music with various Middle Eastern singers from around the world, including Haim Louk, Samy Elmaghribi, Ragheb Alama, and George Wassouf. In addition, Azra performed with Wadih El Safi, Sabah, Sayed Mekawy, a major composer for the world-famous singer, Oum Kalthoum, and many more. Azra currently performs classical Middle Eastern sensations around the world with his orchestra as the ensemble director.

The thirty-first government of Israel was formed by Ehud Olmert on 4 May 2006, following Kadima's victory in the March elections. His coalition initially included Labor, Shas and Gil, and held 67 of the 120 seats in the Knesset. The 11-seat Yisrael Beiteinu joined the coalition in November 2006, but left on 16 January 2008 in protest at peace talks with the Palestinian National Authority. With the inclusion of the Labor Party's Raleb Majadele as a Minister without Portfolio on 29 January 2007, it became the first Israeli cabinet to have a Muslim minister. The makeup of the coalition resulted in a center-left government.

The government held office until Benjamin Netanyahu formed the thirty-second government on 31 March 2009, following elections the month before.

1 Peres left office when elected President.

2 Barak replaced Peretz when he defeated him in the party leadership election.

The Golden Eagle Band (GEB) is the official instrumental ensemble of the University of North Georgia's Corps of Cadets.  It serves as one of the featured units at all Cadet Reviews and military ceremonies during the school year. The unit also regularly travels off-campus to perform in parades, festivals, and military ceremonies throughout the Southeast.

History

The Golden Eagle Band of University of North Georgia is the oldest specialty unit on campus. It was created along with the founding of the college in 1873. Throughout the history of UNG the Golden Eagle Band has always been an integral part of the college's Corps of Cadets.

The Band's name has changed several times, been housed in many different locations, and has fluctuated in size throughout the years.

In the early 1900s the Golden Eagle Band was known as the Boar's Head Brigade Band. At that time, the band lived and practiced in a building that was located at the current site of Young Hall. The Commandant of Cadets also lived with the band at this time. After WWII, the band moved to Barnes Hall and created a large Boar's Head to hang over the fireplace. Later, this same Boar's Head was presented to the college and now hangs in the student Great Room in the Student Center. While in Barnes Hall, the band was the largest it has ever been. This was partly due to the fact that the Commandant of Cadets would personally take people from other companies who knew how to play an instrument and place them in the band. The name of the band changed to the Tiger Band, and the director of the band wrote UNG's Alma Mater.

In 1969, the Band moved to their current residence at Sanford Hall but was forced to cut its numbers to accommodate to the living space.  Another problem that the band faced during this growing phase was a lack of adequate places to practice. Starting in the Canteen, they eventually moved to the gym and Young Hall. They then moved to El Maguey, a local Mexican restaurant located on the square. It was at this time that the band painted it gold to show everyone who practiced there and who the restaurant supported.

In 1972, the unit finally changed its name to the Golden Eagle Band. The band's distinctive patch was designed in 1989 by Jasper, GA artist Mary Russell, mother of one of the cadets. At this time the Band had its own unique uniform, which consisted of a black helmet with a large golden eagle on it. At the end of this decade, the band moved once again to Gaillard Hall. Once situated there, they painted a mural on the walls of their wing and placed a gold brick in the wall to show everyone how much hard work they dedicated to the school. It was also at this time that the band's practice area changed once again to the newly constructed Nix Center in which they had their own practice room.  During this time in the early 1990s the motto of the Golden Eagle Band was "Golden Eagles Fly With Pride!".

Due to the growing size of the Corps of Cadets, the band was forced to relocate back to Sanford hall in 2003. The band was there until the new barracks were constructed in 2010.

Also throughout its history, the Golden Eagle Band has produced many capable young leaders that are now serving the Army as second lieutenants in the Aviation, Engineer, Field Artillery, Armor, Medical Services, Infantry, and most recently Military Intelligence branches.

Mission

The Golden Eagle Band's mission is to "provide quality musicianship, discipline, and leadership through both military and musical training. We set and maintain the highest standards to represent the University of North Georgia's Boar's Head Brigade."

Generally, participation in the Golden Eagle Band is open to anyone with a background in music. People who have previously played in high school bands are preferred, but this is not a requirement. Everything that a member of the GEB needs to know about performing in a military marching band is readily available to be taught by instructors and the student leadership.

The Golden Eagle Band is also an academic class that is worth one credit hour for each semester enrolled. Civilian students need only to register for the class during registration periods throughout the semester while participants in the Corps of Cadets can either request to be put in HHC and live with the GEB or live with one of the many line companies on campus and attend the class. However, living with the band is highly recommended.

Throughout the duration of their participation in the Golden Eagle Band, participants will be challenged in a variety of ways, which are not just limited to their abilities as a musician. They will be presented with unique challenges to develop themselves as individuals, as a member of a team, and be tested in their abilities of leadership. During the year, the Cadet members of the GEB participate in tactical training and leadership evaluation techniques and go on their own FTXs. Most of the time they are not able to participate in the regular Corps training periods because of scheduling conflicts with class and Band Camps.

Every fall semester the Golden Eagle Band conducts special training in which participants will be able to earn a spot inside the GEB "family". In the Spring semester these participants are able to participate in a more thorough examination of their knowledge, skills, and abilities in order to become a fully accepted and recognized member of the GEB.

Scholarship and Award Opportunities
The bands at the University of North Georgia, including the Golden Eagle Band, offer a variety of scholarships to prospective students. One particular scholarship of interest to potential members of the GEB is the Roy E. Bottom Scholarship.

Edward Hall (8 February 1876 – 30 December 1903) was an Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Ted Hall holds the league record for having the worst winning percentage of all VFL/AFL footballers to have played at least 50 games. He experienced victory just once in his league career, when St Kilda defeated Carlton at Junction Oval during the 1901 VFL season. Before that, Hall had appeared in 62 successive losses from his debut in 1897. This record is 13 above teammate Joe Hogan, with 49.

A centreman, he briefly became a field umpire in 1900, but after officiating in a Round 2 game ended up finishing the season and his career back at St Kilda.

Luther Kent (born June 23, 1948) is an American blues singer based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Kent is known for a big soulful voice and his big horn-based group Luther Kent & Trick Bag that mixed swinging blues with New Orleans R&B. Kent now hosts a show that comes on Saturdays on WBRH called Luther's House Party.

Biography
In 1948, Luther Kent was born Kent Rowell in New Orleans, Louisiana. As a vocalist, he was influenced by artists such as Bobby Bland, Etta James, and Ray Charles.

Kent began to sing professionally when he was 14, and his first record was released by Montel Records. In 1970, he became the lead singer for a group named Cold Grits. The group was subsequently signed to Ode Records, but their record was never released. Kent joined Blood Sweat & Tears in 1974 and toured with them until the end of that same year. However, he never recorded with the group as he was still bound by contract with Ode Records at the time.

In 1977, Kent released his first solo album, World Class, on RCS Records, produced by Cy Frost at Abbey Road Studios in St. John's Wood, London, and Applewood Studios in Colorado. In 1978, Kent and ex-Wayne Cochran musical director, Charlie Brent, formed Luther Kent & Trick Bag. The band was active during the 1980s and 1990s, and released 3 CDs under the name.

Kent released a gospel album in 1996 teaming up with John Lee & the Heralds of Christ. The album also featured Allen Toussaint and Pete Fountain.  Kent toured Italy in 2006 with Italian blues guitarist Robi Zonca and his band. The show was recorded and released as album Magic Box that year.

Apart from his solo work, Kent also sings as a guest with the traditional jazz group, The Dukes of Dixieland on selected dates. Kent is also on some of their recordings.

The green goods scam, also known as the "green goods game", was a fraud scheme popular in the 19th-century United States in which people were duped into paying for worthless counterfeit money. It is a variation on the pig-in-a-poke scam using money instead of other goods like a pig.

In the typical green goods scam, the mark, or victim, would respond to flyers circulated throughout the country by the scammers ("green goods men") which claimed to offer "genuine" counterfeit currency for sale. This currency was sometimes alleged to have been printed with stolen engraving plates. Victims, usually living outside major cities, would be enticed to travel to the location of the green goods men to complete the transaction. Victims were guided by a "steerer" to be shown large amounts of genuine currency – represented to be counterfeit – which was then placed in a bag or satchel. Victims then received offers to purchase the money at a price much less than face value. While a victim negotiated a price or was otherwise distracted, another accomplice (the "ringer") would switch the bag of money for a bag containing sawdust, green paper, or other worthless items. Victims would leave unaware of the switch, and were unwilling to report the crime, as attempting to purchase counterfeit currency was itself a crime and the victim risked arrest.

Neisner's or Neisner Brothers was a chain of variety stores in North America.

History
The brothers Abraham and Joseph Neisner opened their first variety store in Rochester, New York, in 1911. They incorporated the company in New York in 1916, by which time they had five stores, selling merchandise from 5 cents to one dollar. The company acquired a large interest in British Home Stores, a chain of similar stores in the United Kingdom in 1929, but sold its interest in the late 1930s.

The company prospered during the Depression, and by 1935, Neisner's had 103 stores in 63 cities in 16 states.

Abraham Neisner died in 1933, whilst travelling aboard the . Neisner's was later headed by Joseph's son Fred Neisner, who became chairman of the board, with Abraham's son Melvin Neisner, as company president.

During the 1960s and '70s, the company created the Big N division, a format which resembled the big box stores of today. These were located primarily in New York and several other northeastern states.

Neisner's petitioned for bankruptcy protection on 1 December 1977 and the Ames Department Stores acquired the chain in November 1978.

The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "a perfect example of the radical/traditionalist ethos Abrams has done so much to foster."

The 1998 World Youth Games was the first international multi-sport event of its kind. More than 7,500 young athletes representing 140 countries of the world participated in this event. The Games took place in Moscow, Russia from July 11 to 19, 1998.

Ceremony

The opening ceremony was held in the Luzhniki Stadium (Стадион "Лужники"). It included 32 International Olympic Committee (IOC) members, 43 National Olympic Committee (NOC) presidents, Boris Yeltsin – then current President of the Russian Federation, Yuri Luzhkov – mayor of Moscow, with the presence of 80,000 spectators. One of the most emotional moments of the ceremony was the arrival of the Olympic flame, after traveling through 13 regions of the Russian Federation. Another spectacular moment was when 2 Russian cosmonauts greeted all the spectators directly from Orbital Station Mir. The mayor of Moscow and the IOC President addressed the spectators, and Boris Yeltsin declared the World Youth Games opened.

Participants and sports
More than 7,500 young athletes under 17 years of age representing 140 countries competed in a variety of sports that included basketball, football, volleyball, handball, tennis and table tennis, track and field athletics, swimming, synchronized swimming, gymnastics and modern rhythmic gymnastics, fencing, judo and Greco-Roman wrestling.

Objective
The main objectives of the first World Youth Games were to involve the young participants in the Olympic movement and promote the Olympic spirit of friendship and mutual understanding among peoples, preparing their psychological and aptitude conditions for international starts and also selecting young talents for the participation in future Olympic Games.

Beginning from 2010, the Youth Olympic Games were to be held every four years in staggered summer and winter events complementing the Olympic Games, thus rendering the World Youth Games obsolete.

Mascot
The motto of the World Youth Games was “the open world for childhood” and its mascot was Mishka (Мишка)  – the Russian Bear that was also the mascot of the XXII Summer Olympic Games in Moscow 1980.

Initiation
On November 27, 1995, a small government delegation from Moscow visited the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland in order to rally support for the organization of a major international youth competition under IOC patronage in the Russian capital. Moscow's delegation argued that the city had a strong experience of staging sport events. The IOC granted its patronage to the “World Youth Games” and an agreement was signed in April 1997 between the IOC, the city of Moscow and the Russian Olympic Committee, setting out the event.

Nations

Infrastructure
After the agreement was signed, Moscow started its infrastructure preparations. It undertook 2 major projects. The first was the renovation of the Luzhniki Sports Arena, which was completed in September, 1997 at Moscow's 850th anniversary. The stadium was built in 1955, and in 1980 it became the heart of the XXII Summer Olympic Games. The other major project was the construction of the Olympic village. This contraction was placed under the control of the city administration and it was based on the plan of the 1980 Olympic Village. The Village constituted of five 19-to-25 story buildings, a complex-sport gymnasium, a cycling track and a massive cafeteria. In addition, its landscape included artificial hills and a lake. Later, this complex-building became one of the most prestigious residential areas in the city.

"Back Round" is a song by Australian hard rock band Wolfmother. Written by vocalist and guitarist Andrew Stockdale, the song was the first material released since original band members Chris Ross and Myles Heskett left the band in August 2008. "Back Round" was originally released as a free digital download on the band's official website on 30 March 2009, and was later released as a downloadable single on iTunes on 26 May 2009. In October 2009 the song was featured on the deluxe edition of the band's second album, Cosmic Egg.

History
"Back Round", originally entitled "Back Home", was written in September 2007, during a period of doubt surrounding the original incarnation of Wolfmother. Stockdale began recording some parts of the song and subsequently played it later in the year with drummer Dave Atkins, who joined the band as a full-time member in 2009. The song received its live debut, along with "The Violence of the Sun", "Monolith" and "Inside the Mountain", on 12 April 2008 when the band played their first gig in nine months at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. The song was then recorded in Los Angeles, California in August 2008, after the original band split up, but was subsequently re-recorded in a studio built under Stockdale's house in Australia between November and December, including some guitar parts on 12 December.

Played at the two low-key comeback performances in Australia on 6 and 8 February, the song made its 'official' international live debut at the MTV Australia Awards 2009 on 27 March 2009, and was released for free on the band's official website shortly after. The song was also performed on 1 May at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the new lineup's first performance outside of Australia, where new songs "Cosmic Egg" and "California Queen" were premièred. "Back Round" was featured on the music video game Guitar Hero 5 as a playable track in September 2009, and was made available for free download from the game's official website.

Outside of Australia, "Back Round" was also released as a downloadable single in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Style and reception
With regards to the style of the song, music magazine Billboard described "Back Round" as "swimming in chunky guitar licks and drum fills". Rinjo Njori of music blog Earvolution.com likened the song to the band's older material, claiming it holds up well next to "Woman", and compared it to the work of Cream, Black Sabbath and Soundgarden. Independent website Altsounds.com introduced the song as a "rollicking behemoth of timeless rock n roll", going on to praise it as "A liberating avalanche of skull-crushing drums and primal riffing [...] a joyous evolution for the Australian band"; while American newspaper The Herald was equally optimistic, suggesting that "The new lineup sounds ready to deliver the goods based on 'Back Round'". Though already released for free, the track was a minor commercial success, charting at number 100 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.

Music video
A music video for "Back Round" was recorded on 24 July 2009. Stockdale uploaded two stills from the videoshoot on his Twitter profile, claiming that the "Clip [would] be out soon". As of the release of Cosmic Egg, however, a music video has still not been released; the release of videos for subsequent singles "New Moon Rising", "White Feather" and "Far Away" suggests that the idea has since been set aside.

Mona Island Light, also known as Faro de la Isla de la Mona, is a historic lighthouse located on the island of Mona, Puerto Rico, in the Mona Passage between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. It is the only lighthouse built of iron and steel in Puerto Rico. While some sources reported that the structure was designed by Gustav Eiffel, who also designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris, recent studies have shown that the tower was designed around 1885 by Spanish engineer Rafael Ravena.

It is the first of two lighthouses built by the U.S. government in Puerto Rico.

It was first lit in 1900 and automated in 1973. In 1976, the light was deactivated and replaced by a modern beacon. The structure has deteriorated severely since deactivation. The lighthouse is listed in "Frommer's 500 Places to See Before They Disappear" and Lighthouse Digest magazine described the condition of the lighthouse as dire: "This lighthouse has to be among the most endangered in the U.S. – along with being one of the most isolated – rusting away in the tropical heat and humidity."

History
Two sets of plans were drawn up between 1885 and 1886 by Spanish engineer Rafael Ravena, working for the Spanish government, for a lighthouse on the eastern side of Mona Island to help mark Mona Passage, which runs between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. One set of plans called for a massive masonry structure with twenty five rooms for three keepers, families and supplies and a light with a range of 22 miles. However this was not the design that was finally used, probably due to the very porous and brittle sandstone conditions of Mona Island.

The second set of plans called for an iron tower with a separate living quarters for one keeper and his family. This plan was approved in 1887, and work on the station started in the early 1890s. The lighthouse's materials were fabricated in France by Duclos & Cie. The U.S. government continued its construction after the Spanish–American War in 1898.

Railway

The  long narrow-gauge Mona Island Tramway had a gauge of . Its 231 ft long incline ran from the beach to a cave. Goods were carried through the cave, and then hauled by a stubborn donkey on a canopy-covered wagon along a 6000 ft long track to the lighthouse.

U.S. National Register of Historic Places
The lighthouse, as "Faro de la Isla de la Mona", was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

Wimalaratne Kumaragama (January 18, 1919 – December 30, 1962) was a prominent Sri Lankan poet, of the Colombo era. A Divisional Revenue Officer (DRO) by profession, his poems were centred around Wanni and its people. They evoke the life of the village and its characters, surroundings, environment, animals and experiences. He depicted the villagers' lives in a broader perspective and described the environment beautifully in poetic language

Early life
Wimalaratne Kumaragama was born on 18 January 1919 at Narampanawa, Patadumbara, Pallispattu Korale West. He was the second in a family of seven and possessed a majestic and charismatic personality. He had his primary education at Werapitiye school and later attended the bilingual school at Teldeniya and Sri Rahula College, Katugastota. He ended his schooling at Dharmaraja College, Kandy. Even as a student, he was interested in Sinhala literature, and wrote poems for the school magazine. At Dharmaraja, he was an outstanding student and passed the matriculation examination with distinctions.

Civil service and poetry
After passing the Government Clerical Competitive Examination, Kumaragama started his career as a clerk at Kaccheri, Anuradhapura. In 1942, he was successful in the D.R.O. examination. In 1944, he assumed duties as an Assistant Government Agent at Anamaduwa. He later served as a DRO in areas including Hanguranketha, Kalawana, Daladagama and Kotmale.

He loved Wanni and its villagers. Like Leonard Woolf, the great Kumaragama lived with the villagers and his poems were centered around Wanni. The general public loved his company. Sometimes the villagers came in search of him to solve their private and confidential problems. He kept everyone happy, and sometimes recited "Hitiwan Kavi", or instant verses.

Some of his outstanding, famous and popular poems, "Wanniye mal", "Harak Hora", "Iiyanayake", "Yantam beruna", "Game-wewa" and "Herath Hami", depict the true life of the villagers of Wanniya.

He also served as the editor of the Colombo Young Poets' Society.

Kumaragama was a fine student of English literature. He was a voracious reader and had a good knowledge of English poetry. He, as well as his contemporaries  Meemana Prematilaka and Sagara Palansooriya, were said to be great admirers of Romantic poets John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Wordsworth and Alfred Tennyson.

After a life entirely devoted to uplifting the standard of living of the poor villagers of Wanni, Kumaragama died on December 30, 1962.

The Durham–Humphrey Amendment explicitly defined two specific categories for medications, legend (prescription) and over-the-counter (OTC). This amendment was co-sponsored by then Senator (and later Vice President)  Hubert H. Humphrey Jr., who was a pharmacist in South Dakota before beginning his political career.  The other sponsor of this amendment was Carl Durham, a pharmacist representing North Carolina in the House of Representatives.

The bill requires any drug that is habit-forming or potentially harmful to be dispensed under the supervision of a health practitioner as a prescription drug and must carry the statement, "Caution: Federal law prohibits dispensing without a prescription."

Until this law, there was no requirement that any drug be labeled for sale by prescription only. The amendment defined prescription drugs as those unsafe for self-medication and which should therefore be used only under a doctor's supervision.

Legend drugs must be dispensed with direct medical supervision, but over-the-counter drugs can be purchased and used without a prescription.

The law also legalized verbal transmission of prescriptions and provided for the legal right of a pharmacist to refill prescriptions as indicated in a provider's initial prescription.

Brett William Brown (born February 16, 1961) is an American professional basketball coach who is an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Brown is a former college basketball player who previously served as head coach for the Philadelphia 76ers from 2013 to 2020. Before that, Brown was an assistant on Gregg Popovich's staff on the Spurs. He also has extensive experience coaching in Australia, having been the head coach of the North Melbourne Giants and Sydney Kings of the National Basketball League (NBL).

Playing career

High school
Born and raised in Maine, Brown first played organized basketball in Rockland, was a star guard in junior high school there, and then his father was hired as the head coach. Brown transferred to South Portland where he became a star basketball player at South Portland High School, from which he graduated in 1979. Brown was a two-year first-team all-state guard in 1978 and 1979, and led his team to a 27–0 record and a State Class A Title in his senior year. Both Brown and his father, Bob Brown, who was South Portland's head coach during Brown's playing career, are inductees to the New England Basketball Hall of Fame.

Collegiate career
Brown played four seasons at Boston University under Rick Pitino. He was named the Lou Cohen MVP in his sophomore year and served as the team captain in both his junior and senior seasons. During his senior year in 1983, the Boston Terriers made their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1959. By the time he graduated, Brown had compiled the fourth-most assists in school history. After graduation, he served as a graduate assistant under coach John Kuester. Brown also took a sales job with AT&T, saving enough money to take a backpacking trip to Oceania in 1987.

Coaching career

NBL
In 1988, after a coaching stint in New Zealand with Altos Auckland, Brown made a cold call to Melbourne Tigers head coach Lindsay Gaze, ultimately leading to a job offer and Brown making Australia his home for the next 18 years. He served as a Tigers assistant coach until 1993, when he became head coach of the North Melbourne Giants. Brown was named NBL coach of the year in 1994, when he led the Giants to a championship victory over the Adelaide 36ers. He served as head coach of the Giants until 1998, before taking a job with the San Antonio Spurs. Following his stint with the Spurs, Brown coached the Sydney Kings from 2000 to 2002. Overall, he was a head coach for 278 NBL games, winning 54 percent of the time.

San Antonio Spurs

After attending a basketball camp run by Brown and Andrew Gaze, San Antonio Spurs general manager R. C. Buford hired Brown as an unpaid member of the Spurs' basketball operations department for the 1998–99 lockout-shortened season. In 2002, after a stint with the Sydney Kings, he again took a position with the Spurs, this time as the team's director of player development. Buford credited him with focusing attention on the team's lesser-known players, creating a consistently strong bench; this philosophy would continue to benefit the Spurs even after Brown left his role as player development director. He was promoted to assistant coach in September 2007, working under coach Gregg Popovich. Popovich calls Brown "one of his best friends," and Brown would later incorporate many of Popovich's concepts into his own offensive system. He played a major role in signing Australian guard Patty Mills, who played under him for the Australian national team. Brown was a member of the Spurs organization for four of their championship-winning seasons.

Philadelphia 76ers

During the 2013 NBA off-season, Brown was offered a chance to succeed Mike Budenholzer as the top assistant on Gregg Popovich's staff, but in August 2013, he chose instead to become head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. He inherited a team in "total rebuilding mode" led by new general manager Sam Hinkie, and the Sixers were only able to woo Brown away from the Spurs after offering a 4-year guaranteed contract. His appointment made him the 24th head coach in the history of the franchise, and the second person to be a head coach in both the NBL and the NBA, following Mike Dunlap. The Sixers were the youngest team in the league during Brown's first year, and one of the youngest of all time. During the second half of the 2013–14 season, the Sixers would lose 26 games in a row, tying the record for longest NBA losing streak. Sixers point guard Michael Carter-Williams won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 2014, and credited Brown for helping him win the award and grow as a player.

On December 11, 2015, the 76ers signed Brown to a contract extension. On May 31, 2018, the 76ers signed Brown to another contract extension, coming off their first playoff appearance since 2012. On June 7, 2018, Brown was named interim general manager after Bryan Colangelo resigned after a social media scandal, where he and his wife criticized team members. Before the 76ers found his replacement in former player Elton Brand on September 20, 2018, Brown signed off on multiple trades that the 76ers did in the months of June & July, including an infamous trade during the 2018 NBA draft where Philadelphia native and 2x NCAA champion Mikal Bridges from Villanova University was traded to the Phoenix Suns for Zhaire Smith and a 2021 first round pick from the Miami Heat after being selected by the 76ers. He also signed off on the signings of players like Shake Milton, Norvel Pelle, and Anthony Brown at the time, as well as re-signing veterans like JJ Redick, Amir Johnson, and Demetrius Jackson.

On August 24, 2020, Brown was fired by the 76ers after being swept out of the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs by the Boston Celtics.

Return to San Antonio
On June 30, 2022, Brown re-joined the San Antonio Spurs as an assistant coach.

National team career
Brown was an assistant coach of the Australia national team between 1995 and 2003, serving during the 1998 FIBA World Championship and the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics. He was hired in 2009 to serve as head coach of the team, and held that position until 2012. Under Brown, Australia finished 10th in the 2010 FIBA World Championship. In the 2012 Summer Olympics, he led Australia to the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by the United States national team, who won the tournament.

On November 27, 2019, Brown returned to Australia national team as head coach replacing Andrej Lemanis. He was expected to lead the team at the 2020 Summer Olympics but it was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic until 2021. Brown quit his role on October 13, 2020, without having led the team in a game. He cited his career uncertainty after his firing from the 76ers and the difficulties of travelling with his family due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the reasons for his departure.

Monkey Island is a remote, natural island located in Currituck Sound, North Carolina and is part of the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge. Contrary to its name, there are no monkeys on Monkey Island. It is named for the Pamunkey nation that once inhabited the area, and used the island for summer hunting.

The island was also once the site of the Monkey Island Hunting Club, which remains standing today. The Monkey Island Hunting Club was incorporated in 1919 by a group of tobacco executives including George Hill, president of the American Tobacco Company and its Executive Vice-president Charles Penn. It was sold in 1974 and after a series of failed businesses came into the possession of US Fish & Wildlife Service. A bell salvaged from a locomotive was used for many years to help members of local Hunt Clubs navigate the waters around Monkey Island on foggy days. The bell is currently on display in Historic Corolla Village.

Approximately half of the island is forested and has long supported a large colony of wading birds. It is currently the most northerly known native habitat of the Sabal minor palm. The island is often visited by deer that swim from at least a mile away. It is located in Poplar Branch Township, Currituck County, North Carolina.

The Suzuki Gladius SFV650 is a naked motorcycle introduced by Suzuki for the 2009 model year with the intention of it being a replacement for the SV650. Subsequently in most countries the half-fairing second-generation SV650S continued to be sold alongside the Gladius until 2014.

The bike featured a new, more modern-looking aesthetic design, with a tubular trellis-style frame, more similar to the first generation SV650, and an upgraded engine in an effort to increase fuel economy, lower the emissions, and increase peak power and low- to mid-range torque. Also, the seat height was lowered from  to .

At the Tokyo Motor Show in 2009, Suzuki announced they would also be making smaller capacity, 400cc Gladius SFV400 for the Japanese market.

In 2017 the Gladius was replaced with the third generation SV650.

Murder on the Mississippi, fully titled as Murder on the Mississippi: The Adventures of Sir Charles Foxworth, is a 1986 detective adventure game developed and published by Activision for the Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and the Apple II computers, and licensed by Jaleco exclusively in Japan for the Famicom and MSX2 as . It is an adventure game in which the player must solve a murder mystery on the luxury ship "Delta Princess". The story is based loosely on the Agatha Christie novel Death on the Nile.

The game is particularly notable in Japan for being known as a kusoge (i.e. a terrible game).

Plot
While heading to New Orleans from St. Louis on the ship "Delta Princess", detective Sir Charles and Watson are caught up in the midst of a murder case by chance, that they must solve.

Characters (passengers and crew)

Not Holmes. Becomes the second victim. His appearance is similar to that of a painting of Sherlock Holmes by Charles Doyle (Arthur Conan Doyle's father).

Known as "Regis" in the Activision version. Only a few of his memos can be taken. He occasionally takes walks by himself without any notice. After Charles' death, he longs to do everything over again the right way.

A prostitute, staying in Room 8. Going to New Orleans to visit her Aunt Pearl. Her aunt's secret formula for Okra soup is popular among the passengers.

Prostitute from Nevada. Staying in Room 2F20.

Judge staying in Room 9. Has a reputation for drinking.

The widow of a millionaire, staying in Room 2F23. Has a very bad reputation amongst the passengers.

The captain. Speaks of the incident even before entering the cabin and discovering the body.

Philanthropist staying in Room 2F15. His hobby is shooting, and he often hits birds.

Crew member staying in Room 1F27. Brown's illegitimate son. Is in love with Taylor.

The victim, found dead in Room 4. Owner of the Delta Princess, which he co-manages with Nelson. Also managed many additional businesses.

Gameplay

Trap
Pitfalls exist in Room 1 and Room 14. Falling through one of these holes results in death and an instant game over. There is also a trap in Room 16, in which a knife flies through the air towards Sir Charles immediately after he enters. Unless the knife is dodged it hits Sir Charles in the head and kills him, resulting in another instant game over. While solving the case reveals the true criminal, the identity of the person that set these traps remains a mystery.

Re-interviewing characters
Each suspect can only be spoken to once per piece of new information— consequently, if there is a piece of information missed the first time around, since it is impossible to talk to them again this can lead to the player becoming impossibly stuck in the game and unable to progress any further.

Reception
Compute! called Murder on the Mississippi "a rich, enjoyable adventure game".

In Japan, the Famicom version of the game is widely known as a  or even  kusoge (i.e. terrible game). Reasons cited include that the lack of a save feature, necessitating that the game be replayed from the beginning every session; the instant-death traps being unreasonable; the specific order of steps being required to complete the game being unreasonably particular; re-interviewing characters being impossible despite the information they offer changing based on ostensibly illogical requirements; and adult themes and language being used despite the Famicom's young audience.

SH-053-R-CH3-2′F is a drug used in scientific research which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It produces some of the same effects as other benzodiazepines, but is much more subtype-selective than most other drugs of this class, having high selectivity, binding affinity and efficacy at the α5 subtype of the GABAA receptor. This gives much tighter control of the effects produced, and so while SH-053-R-CH3-2′F retains sedative and anxiolytic effects, it does not cause ataxia at moderate doses. SH-053-R-CH3-2′F also blocks the nootropic effects of the α5-selective inverse agonist PWZ-029, so amnesia is also a likely side effect.

Replacement of the ester function by an amide, realized in analogs such as MP-III-022 and GL-II-73, improves selectivity, efficacy, and kinetic behavior.

The paramedics incident in Oslo 2007 involved two paramedics who were dispatched to Sofienberg park in Oslo, Norway, on August 6, 2007, in response to a reported head injury from an altercation. Upon arrival, paramedics determined the issue was not medically urgent, and requested police at the scene take the subject to the hospital as he appeared intoxicated and unruly. It was later revealed the man's injuries were indeed life-threatening, which led to public outcry and controversy in the months following the incident.

Incident

While having a picnic in the park, a Somali-Norwegian man named Ali Farah claims he was physically assaulted and hit in the head by a 23-year-old male from Ghana. Farah was knocked to the ground after requesting the 23-year-old male and his friends to tone down their behavior. After the altercation, Farah's friends called for an ambulance, which arrived on the scene approximately 15 minutes later. The ambulance paramedic crew decided not to take Farah to the hospital as he seemed to be intoxicated. Farah reportedly urinated, with the urine hitting first the trouser leg of one of the paramedics and then the ambulance. The paramedics requested a police patrol present at the scene take Farah to the hospital. The ambulance left shortly thereafter, leaving Farah in the park. He was then transported in a taxi by his friends to a medical center where it was determined the injury to his head was life-threatening. He was diagnosed with intracranial hemorrhage and had to undergo surgery, after which he also developed meningitis. He was placed in a medically-induced coma for a few days and eventually recovered.

When the story first broke in the Norwegian media, the decision by the paramedics to leave Farah in the park led to a massive public outcry, and accusations of blatant racism were directed toward the paramedics by several politicians and leading figures, including Beate Gangås, the Norwegian Equality and Anti-Discrimination ombud.

The paramedics involved maintained their initial observation of the victim led them to believe he was not in need of urgent medical assistance, and they made the decision to have police escort him to the hospital after he urinated on one of the paramedics and the ambulance. Farah and his friends claimed the ambulance crew were hostile toward them, and that the paramedics did not perform a proper medical examination of the victim.

The paramedics were eventually removed from active duty due to their handling of the case, and fined for failing to give proper duty of care to Farah. Several subsequent inquiries and a court found the paramedics' actions, while "indefensible" and "unprofessional", could not be shown to be an act of racial discrimination.

Media coverage of the event
The case was widely covered in Norwegian media, creating a heated national debate about the incident. Many media articles focused on the failure of the paramedics to properly deal with the victim and portrayed this incident as one of racial discrimination. The photograph media used to strengthen this claim showed an injured victim lying on the ground bleeding heavily from the nose. This picture contradicted the paramedic's claim that Farah was standing up when they left the scene. Later, a picture was published in the media that supported the paramedics' version in which Farah can be seen standing next to the ambulance as it is leaving the park.

Libel suit
In May 2011 Erik Schjenken won a libel suit against the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet in the Oslo District Court, and was awarded one million Nkr on the grounds they had misrepresented facts and published factual errors regarding the case. In 2013, Dagbladet lost the appeal case in Borgarting Court of Appeal, but received a different ruling reducing the compensation awarded to Schjenken to 200,000 Nkr. Dagbladet appealed the case once more in May 2013 to the Supreme Court of Norway.

Reception
The Allmusic review states "The unit made demanding, harmonically dense and rhythmically unpredictable material, with Braxton's scurrying solos ably matched by Threadgill's bluesier lines and Abrams' leadership and inventive blend of jazz, blues, and other sources holding things together". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars stating "Anthony Braxton is one of the certain masters modern jazz and perhaps Abrams's most gifted pupil. The music they make together is complex, scurryingly allusive and seldom directly appealing". The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "Abrams the small group leader has never sounded better".

Agnes of Austria (; 1322 – 2 February 1392) was a German princess member of the House of Habsburg and by marriage Duchess of Świdnica.

She was the second daughter of Leopold I, Duke of Austria, by his wife Katharina, daughter of Amadeus V, Count of Savoy.

Life

After the early death of her father in 1326, Agnes and her older sister Katharina (later by marriage Lady of Coucy) were placed under the guardianship of their paternal uncles, Frederick the Fair and Albert II.

On 1 June 1338 Agnes married with Bolko II the Small, Duke of Świdnica, who wanted with this union to enhance his international position against the House of Luxembourg, direct competitors of the Habsburgs.

The marriage apparently was childless, although some sources stated that they had two children: a daughter, Elisabeth (d. 1407) and a son, Bolko, who, according to old Silesian legend, died at only nine-years-old, accidentally killed by the court jester Jakob Thau, when he threw a stone to him during a game.

After the death of her husband in 1368, and according to his will, Agnes received Świdnica, Jawor and Lwówek as her dower.

Agnes died on 2 February 1392 in Świdnica and was buried in the Franciscan Princely Chapel (Fürstenkapelle) of the Grüssau Abbey. According to the treaty of 1353 between Bolko II and the Emperor Charles IV, on her death the duchies were incorporated into the lands of Bohemia by Wenceslaus, King of the Romans.

Under the rule of the Abbot Benedict II Seidel (1735–1747) was built in the Fürstenkapelle a sculpture of white marble from Agnes, which is still there.
