Southern Hotel in Perris, California was built in 1886.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It is located at 445 S. D Street in the center of the city. Along with the Perris Depot, this is one of the two significant 19th century buildings still standing in the city.

History
Southern Hotel is the oldest surviving commercial building in Perris, built by Swiss immigrant couple, Bernardo and Marcellina Bernasconi. Bernardo Bernasconi was a rancher, and the family had six children. It was used as a hotel serving the San Jacinto - Perris stage line until approximately 1919, when it was converted into Bernasconi family residence. Matilda Bernasconi, the oldest child of the original builders, lived in the building until her death, after which the structure fell into a state of disrepair. In 1987, there were two arson fires, and the building was close to being demolished. In 1990, it was bought by the Motte brothers, restored, and converted into a museum (Motte Historical Museum).

Before 1885, the area was known as Pinacate, now in the southern part of the city of Perris. Perris received a railway station in 1886 and soon after the Southern Hotel became one of the first buildings in the area.

Architecture
The hotel is a Victorian Era style building, two-storey wooden and rectangular. It bears a number of Italianate features and decorative elements. Proviously, the building was adjacent to other commercial structures, but currently it stands alone.

The front of the building faces west (S. D Street) and is made in horizontal sidings. It features a door, two windows with decorative crowns, and an open wooden porch with four support posts.

Coprophilous fungi (dung-loving fungi) are a type of saprobic fungi that grow on animal dung. The hardy spores of coprophilous species are unwittingly consumed by herbivores from vegetation, and are excreted along with the plant matter. The fungi then flourish in the feces, before releasing their spores to the surrounding area.

Life cycle
Coprophilous fungi release their spores to the surrounding vegetation, which is then eaten by herbivores. The spores then remain in the animal as the plants are digested, pass through the animal's intestines and are finally defecated. The fruiting bodies of the fungi then grow from the animal feces. It is essential that the spores of the species then reach new plant material; spores remaining in the feces will produce nothing. As such, some species have developed means of discharging spores a large distance. An example of this is the genus Pilobolus. Fruiting bodies of Pilobolus will suddenly rupture, sending the contents over 2 metres away.

Animal feces provide an environment rich in nitrogenous material as well as various enzymes from the animal's digestive system. The spores themselves survive digestion by being particularly thick-walled, allowing them to germinate in the dung with minimum competition from other organisms. This thick wall is often broken down during digestion, readying the spore for germination. The spores are so hardy that samples of dried dung can later be rehydrated, allowing the fungus to fruit weeks later.

Distribution
The distribution of coprophilous fungi is closely linked to the distribution of the herbivores on which they rely, such as rabbits, deer, cattle, horses and sheep. Some species rely on a specific species for dung; for instance, Coprinus radiatus and Panaeolus campanulatus grow almost exclusively on horse feces, while others, such as Panaeolus sphinctrinus, can grow on any feces or even just particularly fertile soil. Further, some species (such as Conocybe rickenii) can be found in large numbers in areas where manure has been used as a soil fertilizer, such as in gardens. Some coprophilous fungi are also known to grow from the dung of omnivores (such as Chaetomium globisporum from rat droppings) or even carnivores (such as Chaetomium rajasthanense, from tiger feces).

Mushroom-producing species
Although not all coprophilous fungi produce mushrooms, there are many that do, particularly in the genera Coprinopsis, Panaeolus and Deconica. Known species include:

Bolbitius vitellinus
Conocybe moseri
Conocybe pubescens
Conocybe rickenii
Coprinopsis acuminata
Coprinopsis cinerea
Coprinopsis narcotica

The Story of Piera () is a 1983 Italian drama film directed by Marco Ferreri. Hanna Schygulla won the award for Best Actress at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.

Plot
The film starts in one of the new towns of Latina with the birth of Piera, daughter of the somewhat unbalanced Eugenia and her apparently sane husband Lorenzo, who has a job with the PCI. Eugenia's behaviour at home and in public becomes increasingly erratic and when on top of this Lorenzo loses his post, the strain puts him into a mental hospital. Piera leaves school to work for a dressmaker and pursues her dream of acting, eventually breaking into television and theatre. Interleaved with her outside life we see her sexual development, from kissing neighbourhood boys to a lesbian relationship while she is in hospital with breathing problems and finally to adult men. While Piera is maturing as a woman and as an actress, Eugenia is deteriorating and has to be locked away. The film ends with Piera taking her mother out for the day to a deserted beach, where the two women undress and hug each other tightly in a moment of natural tenderness.

Battarrea phalloides is an inedible species of mushroom in the family Agaricaceae, and the type species of the genus Battarrea. Known in the vernacular as the scaley-stalked puffball, sandy stiltball, or desert stalked puffball, it has a woody, slender, and shaggy or scaly stem that is typically up to  in length. Although its general appearance resembles an agaric with stem and gills, atop the stem is a spore sac, consisting of a peridium and a powdery internal gleba. In maturity, the spore sac ruptures to release the spores. Battarrea phalloides is found in dry, sandy locations throughout the world, and has been collected from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America (primarily in western regions), and South America. There is currently some disagreement in the literature as to whether the European B. stevensii is the same species as B. phalloides.

Taxonomy

The species was first mentioned in the scientific literature in 1784, when Thomas Jenkinson Woodward described a new species found by Mr. Humphreys of Norwich. It was named by James Dickson in 1785 as Lycoperdon phalloides, and the type locality was Suffolk, England. Christian Hendrik Persoon sanctioned the name when he transferred to Battarrea in his 1801 Synopsis Methodica Fungorum, a newly circumscribed genus named after the Italian mycologist Giovanni Antonio Battarra. Synonyms include Phallus campanulatus, published by Miles Berkeley in 1842 based on collections made by Charles Darwin in Maldonado (Uruguay) in 1833, and Ithyphallus campanulatus, a new combination based on Berkeley's name, published by Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal in 1933.

The specific epithet phalloides means phallus-like, and refers to the similarity of the volva to the genus Phallus. Battarrea phalloides is commonly known as the "scaly-stalked puffball" and the "sandy stiltball"; a common name given to the species B. stevenii is the "desert drumstick". In Cyprus, it is known locally as "Donkey fungus", a name that may be derived from the fact that the spores were once used as a natural antiseptic and antipruritic agent applied to the backs of donkeys, or for their morphological resemblance to the animal's penis.

Historically, there has been uncertainty as to whether the European species known as Battarrea stevenii is a unique species or merely a polymorphic variant of B. phalloides. The taxon has been described as both a variety (as B. phalloides var. stevenii by Cleland and Cheel in 1916) and as a form (as B. phalloides f. stevenii by Calonge in 2004). In 1995, mycologist Roy Watling opined that B. stevenii differs in having spores that are colored more orange-tawny, slightly larger (5–6.5 by 5.75–7 µm, as opposed to 4.5–5.25 by 4.5–5.75 µm), and less ornamented. Further, B. stevenii is thought to have a larger fruit body size, a more coarsely scaly stipe, and lack of mucilage in the volva and the innermost parts of the stem. The presence or absence of mucilage has been traditionally considered the significant characteristic separating the species. In 1904, Lászlo Hollós proposed the idea of a single polymorphic species; in 1942, Paul Marshall Rea, after studying 25 specimens from southern California, concluded that B. stevenii was conspecific with B. phalloides and represented a single species. An analysis of a number of European specimens—using both macroscopic and microscopic characteristics in addition to molecular analysis of ITS regions of the 5.8S rDNA—also suggested both to be conspecific. The authors of this study considered the differences in spore ornamentation and stipe hyphae to be insufficient to discriminate them as two species; they did, however, note that their inability to locate the type material for both species limited the conclusiveness of their suggestion. The conspecificity of the species was supported in a later study that used traditional and molecular methods to compare field-collected English specimens and an extensive range of herbarium material collected from around the world. They found that material labeled B. stevenii generally had a greater range of cap and stem sizes, while that labeled B. phalloides was generally more consistent, and smaller. However, the B. phalloides material they studied was generally from similar habitats in the UK, while the B. stevenii material originated from a wide variety of locales and habitats, suggesting that environmental factors influence fruit body morphology. Evidence pointing to conspecificity included the continuum of spore sizes between the two, and the lack of any significant differences between their DNA. In 2006, however, based on a study of specimens collected in China, other scientists considered them to be independent species.

Description

Mature specimens of Battarrea phalloides roughly resemble the typical agaric mushroom stature of stem and cap. However, rather than a cap with gills, this species has a spore sac atop the stem. When young, the fruit body is roughly spherical and completely encased in an outer wall (exoperidium) that later splits in a circumscissile fashion (along a circular or equatorial line), the lower wall forming a volva and the upper part forming scales that cover the inner wall. The upper part rolls upward and backward and eventually falls away in one piece, exposing a spore sac lined with a narrow ring of capillitium and spores. The spores are sticky. As these are carried away by the wind, the drying action of the latter cause the edges of the peridium to shrivel and roll up more, exposing more spores. This is continued until the upper half of the peridium has shriveled and blown away and there remains only a few spores, which may be washed away by rain.

The fruit body develops rapidly; when mature, it is rust-colored, with a hemispherical to somewhat conical "head"  in diameter, and with a stalk up to  long by  thick.

One study reported a specimen found in Mexico with a length of . Typically, the spore case is  broad by  tall. The hollow stalk is pale brown to brown, woody, and has a fibrous, scaly, or even woolly surface. The mature gleba, which is eventually exposed when the peridial cap is shed, has a rust-brown color. The cap may persist after the spore mass is dispersed and form a disc-like unit that slides down the stalk like a ring. The fragile sac-shaped volva is up to  broad, unattached to the stalk, and formed by two distinct, separated tissue layers. The inner layer resembles the scales of the stem, consisting of hyphae that are 3–18 µm in diameter, closely arranged (nearly parallel), septate, sparsely branched, yellowish ochre, with clamps at some septa. The outer layer of fungal tissue is thicker, membranous, sometimes with a corky texture when dry, and dirty white. It consists of pale yellow intertwined hyphae that are difficult to distinguish individually, and without remains of a gelatinous matrix. Fruit bodies may persist for several months after they have dried.

The thick-walled spores are roughly spherical, rusty-brown, finely and densely warted, and have diameters of 5–6.5 µm. Elaters are 50–80 by 4–6 µm, and have ring-like or spiral thickenings. The endoperidium consists of densely interwoven hyphae that are 3–9 µm in diameter and walls less than 1 µm thick; they are septate, branched, pale yellow, with clamp connections.

The gleba is largely made up of two types of threads. The pseudocapillitium has hyphae up to 5 µm diameter, mostly thin walled, smooth, septate, sparsely branched, hyaline to pale yellow, with clamps. The elaters have diameters of 3.5–7 µm and are 32–70 µm long; they are pale yellow, smooth-walled, tapered and cylindrical with spiral thickenings. Glebal elaters are aseptate and not branched.

Edibility

Battarrea phalloides (as well as Battarrea stevenii) is inedible. In Cyprus, the immature egg-form of the fruit body is eaten. Older specimens may smell unpleasant. The spores of B. stevenii are used as a cicatrizant—a product that promotes healing through the formation of scar tissue–by the Criollo herdsmen of Gran Chaco in northern Argentina.

Similar species

The closely related species Battarrea diguettii is known in the United States from the Mojave desert, and differs from B. phalloides in that the spore sac emerges by ripping through the top of the exoperidium, rather than by circumscissile rupture. The endoperidium of B. diguettii is also smaller, and the spores emerge through a number of pores on the upper surface of the spore sac. Battarrea stevenii can grow taller, up to . Podaxis pistillaris, commonly known as the "desert shaggy mane", occurs in dry locales similar to B. phalloides, but can be distinguished by its shaggy, elongated cap.

Habitat and distribution

Battarrea phalloides may be found growing solitary to scattered on dry, sandy hedgebanks (raised or mounded boundary feature, often topped by a hedgerow), sometimes growing amongst elm suckers. It is a relatively rare species, but may be locally abundant in some locations. In Mexico, where it is only known from the north and central part of the country, it has been usually collected in arid and semiarid areas, on coastal dunes, found from sea level up to  high. The mushroom has been associated with the quick-growing evergreen tree Schinus molle, as well as Lycium brevipes, Solanum hindsianum, Salicornia subterminalis, Atriplex linearis, Quercus agrifolia and Opuntia species, in coastal dunes. The largest fruit bodies were found on floodplains with halophilic (i.e., thriving in high-salt conditions) vegetation. In Belgium, specimens were found on sandy soil under dead elderflower bushes.

In North America, Battarrea phalloides has been collected from the Yukon Territory, western Canada; the US, where it is confined to the west— Southern California, New Mexico, and Arizona— Mexico, and Hawaii. It has also been reported growing in South America (Brazil), Africa (Morocco), Europe (Belgium and North Macedonia), China, and Australia. Due to a decline in sightings, B. phalloides was granted legal protection in Hungary in 2005, making it a finable offense to pick them. It received similar protected status in the United Kingdom in 1998.

The habitat and range of Battarrea stevenii include arid regions of the western and southwestern United States, Australia, South Africa, and several European countries, including Russia.

William Allen (1870 – 11 September 1945) was a politician in Britain who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1892 to 1900, and – after a gap of more than thirty years – from 1931 to 1935.

Allen was the son of William Shepherd Allen, also an MP. He first entered the House of Commons at the 1892 general election. Aged only 22, he was elected as the Liberal Party MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme, defeating the incumbent Liberal Unionist MP, Douglas Coghill. He was re-elected at the 1895 election, but was defeated at the 1900 general election. This was on account of his active service in the Second Boer War.

He did not seek election again until the 1924 general election, when he stood as a Constitutionalist candidate in the Burslem constituency. In 1924, Constitutionalist candidates were either Unionist or Liberal candidates who were supported by both local party associations. As a group, they wished to see the return of a Coalition Government. Allen narrowly lost the two-way contest to his Labour Party opponent Andrew MacLaren.

Allen did not stand in 1929, but when he stood as a Constitutionalist/National candidate at the 1931 general election he won the seat from MacLaren. After the election Allen took the Liberal National whip in the House of Commons. MacLaren regained the seat, defeating Allen at the 1935 general election. Allen did not stand again.

He lived at the Allen family home, Woodhead Hall, in Cheadle.

Alexander Maclaren (11 February 1826 – 5 May 1910) was a Scottish Baptist minister and writer.

Biography
Maclaren was born in Glasgow, Scotland, the son of David Maclaren, a merchant and Baptist lay preacher. His father went to Australia from 1837 to 1841 where he served as Resident Manager of the South Australian Company, leaving his family in Edinburgh. During his father's absence, Maclaren was converted and publicly baptized into the fellowship of the Hope St. Baptist Church, Glasgow, some time between age 11 and 13. He was educated at the Glasgow High School and Glasgow University, and the family moved to London when his father returned from Australia.

Maclaren entered Stepney College in 1842 at age 16, a Baptist institution in London. He was heavily influenced by Dr. David Davies, an eminent Hebrew scholar, and became an enthusiastic student of Hebrew and Greek, among other subjects. He took his bachelor's degree at the University of London before he was 20, sitting for examinations for his arts degree and winning prizes in Hebrew and Greek. Besides his collegiate studies, he read widely in literature, being especially fond of the English poets. The following year, he commenced his ministry at Portland Chapel, Southampton. He worked there for 12 years and developed a reputation as an attractive and powerful preacher. After much solicitation from other congregations, he accepted an invitation to the pastorate of Union Chapel in Manchester, where he remained from 1858 until his retirement in 1903. During his ministry, the congregation built and relocated to Union Baptist Chapel, Oxford Road, Manchester, completed in 1869. He visited Australia and New Zealand in 1889 where he preached at major cities to large congregations, despite poor health.

Maclaren was twice president of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, and he was president of the Baptist World Congress in London in 1905. He received honorary degrees in divinity from both Edinburgh and Glasgow Universities. In 1896, the citizens of Manchester had his portrait painted for their art gallery, and the Anglican bishop of Manchester gave the address when the painting was presented. He said that few speakers had exceeded Maclaren "for profundity of thought, logical arrangement, eloquence of appeal, and power over the human heart". Many attempts were made to draw Maclaren from Manchester, but he remained there despite his dislike of the climate and the workload. In 1903, he was made pastor emeritus and retired from the active ministry.

As the #1 event for electrical professionals, the NECA annual convention and trade show, National Electrical Contractors Association draws attendees and exhibitors involved in all aspects of the electrical construction and integrated building systems industries. The NECA Show is open to the entire industry, and it is held in conjunction with the NECA Convention, which is primarily for NECA member firms.

The 2012 convention and trade show was held in Las Vegas, September 29 - October 2, 2012 at the Mandalay Bay, and had a cumulative participation of 5,500, including over 300 companies in over 700 exhibit booths. In 2011, the NECA Show was held in San Diego on October 22 - 25, 2011 at the San Diego Convention Center.  In 2010, the NECA show was held in Boston (October 2-5) .  The 2013 NECA National Convention & Show will be October 12 - 15 in Washington DC.  at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

History
The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) has been holding conventions since the association’s inception in 1901. The first convention was held in July 1901 in Buffalo, NY. Annual conventions have been held every year since, save three years; Conventions were canceled in 1933 & 1934, at the depth of the Great Depression, and in 2005 when the show, planned for New Orleans, was prevented by Hurricane Katrina.

Trade Show Executive magazine named the NECA Show as one of the 2012 Fastest Growing Trade Shows in the US, in two out of three categories; "By Number of Exhibiting Companies" and "By Number of Attendees". The NECA Show was outsourced to HFI Event Services beginning in 2009. HFI is responsible for the exhibit sales, sponsorship sales, management, and operations of the annual event.

Noor al-Deen is a citizen of Syria wounded when he was captured by counter-terrorism officials at a raid on a "Faisalabad safe house" when Abu Zubaydah was captured.
According to the Washington Post Noor al-Deen, like Abu Zubaydah, was sent to Morocco by the CIA, so he too could be subjected to "enhanced interrogation techniques"

According to the Washington Post Noor al-Deen admired Abu Zubaydah, was guileless and unguarded to his interrogators and was the source of much of information analysts initially believed about him.
John Kiriakou, a CIA officer who participated in the raid said:

{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|
He was frightened - mostly over what we were going to do with him. He had come to the conclusion that his life was over.
|}

Historian Andy Worthington, author of The Guantanamo Files, confirmed that Noor al-Deen had not been sent to Guantanamo.
According to Worthington, Noor Al-Deen was the teenager whom Canadian Abdullah Almalki described as being held extrajudicial detention in Syria's Palestinian Branch military prison.

Tunisian captive Salah Bin Al Hadi Asasi faced the allegation that he was "recruited to fight the jihad" by "Noor Deen" at a mosque in Turin, Italy, in February 2001.

Glenough () is a townland near Rossmore, County Tipperary in Ireland. Glenough consists of many dwellings and farms spread throughout the countryside. Glenough is a hilly area, with its highest point being Ring Hill at 426 metres (1398 feet). Ring Hill forms part of the Slieve Felim mountain range. Due to its elevation, Glenough has been chosen as a site for the erection of wind farms over the past decade.

Glenough is a hill-walking area. There are a number of forests in Glenough, which consist mainly of coniferous trees and completely cover most of the hill tops. Some of these forests have been planted and maintained by the Irish state forestry agency – Coillte, while other forests have been planted by local farmers with the help of government grants. Deciduous trees are also present, especially in Aughnaclanny Valley. Wild fallow deer live in the forests of Glenough.  The Aughnaclanny River flows through Glenough, and is most easily visible at the bridge beside Glenough's former National School. It still stocks trout, and up to recently, salmon were still returning to spawn in the gravel beds beside the school.
Aughnaclanny Valley is a Special Area of Conservation due to the alluvial wet woodlands, yew woods, and floating river vegetation associated with the lower course of the River Suir and its tributaries. Aughnaclanny Valley is also a proposed National Heritage Area.

Glenough National School was permanently closed in the 1980s due to falling numbers, and since then children from Glenough have attended primary school at Rossmore National School. The original school was built in 1856, and served as a one teacher class, for most of its existence.

Geography
Glenough townland is a sub-division of the following areas:
 Clonoulty and Rossmore Roman Catholic parish
 Clonoulty-Rossmore GAA club
 Clonoulty West - electoral division
 Clonoulty - old civil parish
 Tipperary County Council

An expert report is a study written by one or more authorities that states findings and offers opinions.

In law, expert reports are generated by expert witnesses offering their opinions on points of controversy in a legal case and are typically sponsored by one side or the other in a litigation in order to support that party's claims. The reports state facts, discuss details, explain reasoning, and justify the experts' conclusions and opinions.

In medicine, an expert report is a critical assessment of a medical topic, for example, an independent assessment of the cost–benefit ratio of a particular medical treatment.

In abstract algebra, a partially ordered ring is a ring (A, +, ·), together with a compatible partial order, that is, a partial order  on the underlying set A that is compatible with the ring operations in the sense that it satisfies:

and

for all . Various extensions of this definition exist that constrain the ring, the partial order, or both. For example, an Archimedean partially ordered ring is a partially ordered ring  where  partially ordered additive group is Archimedean.

An ordered ring, also called a totally ordered ring, is a partially ordered ring  where  is additionally a total order.

An l-ring, or lattice-ordered ring, is a partially ordered ring  where  is additionally a lattice order.

Properties
The additive group of a partially ordered ring is always a partially ordered group.

The set of non-negative elements of a partially ordered ring (the set of elements  for which  also called the positive cone of the ring) is closed under addition and multiplication, that is, if  is the set of non-negative elements of a partially ordered ring, then  and  Furthermore,

The mapping of the compatible partial order on a ring  to the set of its non-negative elements is one-to-one; that is, the compatible partial order uniquely determines the set of non-negative elements, and a set of elements uniquely determines the compatible partial order if one exists.

If  is a subset of a ring  and:

then the relation  where  if and only if  defines a compatible partial order on  (that is,  is a partially ordered ring).

In any l-ring, the   of an element  can be defined to be  where  denotes the maximal element. For any  and

f-rings
An f-ring, or Pierce–Birkhoff ring, is a lattice-ordered ring  in which  and  imply that  for all  They were first introduced by Garrett Birkhoff and Richard S. Pierce in 1956, in a paper titled "Lattice-ordered rings", in an attempt to restrict the class of l-rings so as to eliminate a number of pathological examples. For example, Birkhoff and Pierce demonstrated an l-ring with 1 in which 1 is not positive, even though it is a square. The additional hypothesis required of f-rings eliminates this possibility.

Example
Let  be a Hausdorff space, and  be the space of all continuous, real-valued functions on   is an Archimedean f-ring with 1 under the following pointwise operations:

From an algebraic point of view the rings
are fairly rigid. For example, localisations, residue rings or limits of rings of the form  are not of this form in general. A much more flexible class of f-rings containing all rings of continuous functions and resembling many of the properties of these rings is the class of real closed rings.

Properties
 A direct product of f-rings is an f-ring, an l-subring of an f-ring is an f-ring, and an l-homomorphic image of an f-ring is an f-ring.

  in an f-ring.

 The category Arf consists of the Archimedean f-rings with 1 and the l-homomorphisms that preserve the identity.

 Every ordered ring is an f-ring, so every sub-direct union of ordered rings is also an f-ring. Assuming the axiom of choice, a theorem of Birkhoff shows the converse, and that an l-ring is an f-ring if and only if it is l-isomorphic to a sub-direct union of ordered rings. Some mathematicians take this to be the definition of an f-ring.

Albert Edward Davies (30 May 1900 – 19 January 1953) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.

Born 30 May 1900 in the Smallthorne area of Stoke-on-Trent and he started work aged 14 on the railway. He continued as a clerk at the railway until he was elected at the 1945 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for the Burslem division of Stoke-on-Trent.

The Burslem seat was abolished for the  1950 general election, when Davies was re-elected for the new Stoke-on-Trent North constituency, and held that seat until his death in 1953.

Davies was on his way to Jamaica as member of a delegation from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association on board the SS Bayano when he died, aged 52, and was buried at sea.

Episode 10: The models choreographed their own fashion show with a gothic and dark theme, while each model portrayed a different character in the plot of a story. Each model walked multiple times, with props.
Episode 11: For their final catwalk assignment, the models displayed three looks/styles on the runway: underwear/sexy, preppy/fun, and formal/somber. Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Siriano makes a special guest appearance as the models' runway coach and stylist, and created a special dress for Holly to wear on the runway, as her "fun" look.
Episode 13: For their farewell runway walk before the announcement of the season winner, the boys wore metallic-colored suits while Holly was dressed as a "couture butterfly" in a red ball gown.

In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, the Erdős–Pósa theorem, named after Paul Erdős and Lajos Pósa, relates two parameters of a graph:

 The size of the largest collection of vertex-disjoint cycles contained in the graph;
 The size of the smallest feedback vertex set in the graph: a set that contains one vertex from every cycle.

Motivation and statement

In many applications, we are interested in finding a minimum feedback vertex set in a graph: a small set that includes one vertex from every cycle, or, equivalently, a small set of vertices whose removal destroys all cycles. This is a hard computational problem; if we are not able to solve it exactly, we can instead try to find lower and upper bounds on the size of the minimum feedback vertex set.

One approach to find lower bounds is to find a collection of vertex-disjoint cycles in a graph. For example, consider the graph in Figure 1. The cycles A-B-C-F-A and G-H-I-J-G share no vertices. As a result, if we want to remove vertices and destroy all cycles in the graph, we must remove at least two vertices: one from the first cycle and one from the second. This line of reasoning generalizes: if we can find  vertex-disjoint cycles in a graph, then every feedback vertex set in the graph must have at least  vertices.

Unfortunately, in general, this bound is not tight: if the largest collection of vertex-disjoint cycles in a graph contains  cycles, then it does not necessarily follow that there is a feedback vertex set of size . The graph in Figure 1 is an example of this: even if we destroy cycle G-H-I-J-G by removing one of the vertices G, H, I, or J, we cannot destroy all four of the cycles A-B-C-F-A, A-B-E-F-A, B-C-D-E-B, and C-D-E-F-C by removing only one more vertex. Any minimum feedback vertex set in the graph in Figure 1 has three vertices: for example, the three vertices A, C, and G.

It is possible to construct examples in which the gap between the two quantities - the size of the largest collection of vertex-disjoint cycles, and the size of the smallest feedback vertex set - is arbitrarily large. The Erdős–Pósa theorem says that despite this, knowing one quantity does put lower and upper bounds on the other quantity. Formally, the theorem states that there exists a function  such that for each positive integer , every graph either

 contains a collection of  vertex-disjoint cycles, or
 has a feedback vertex set of at most  vertices.

For example, suppose we have determined that for the graph in Figure 1, there is a collection of 2 vertex-disjoint cycles, but no collection of 3 vertex-disjoint cycles. Our earlier argument says that the smallest feedback vertex set must have at least 2 vertices; the Erdős–Pósa theorem says that the smallest feedback vertex set must have at most  vertices.

In principle, many functions  could satisfy the theorem. For the purpose of discussing bounds on how large  needs to be, we define the Erdős–Pósa function to give, for each positive integer , the least value of  for which the statement of the theorem holds.

Bounds on the Erdős–Pósa function

In addition to proving that the function  exists,  obtained the bounds  for some constants  and . In Big O notation, .

A previous unpublished result of Béla Bollobás stated : in simpler terms, any graph which does not contain two vertex-disjoint cycles has a feedback vertex set of at most three vertices. One example showing that  is , the complete graph on 5 vertices. Here, because any cycle must contain at least three vertices, and there are only 5 vertices total, any two cycles must overlap in at least one vertex. On the other hand, a set of only two vertices cannot be a feedback vertex set because the other three vertices will form a cycle: a feedback vertex set must contain at least three vertices.

The result that  was first published by , who also gave a complete characterization of the case : that is, he described the graphs which, like the example of  given above, do not contain two vertex-disjoint cycles. Later,  proved  and .

Erdős–Pósa property
A family  of graphs or hypergraphs is defined to have the Erdős–Pósa property if there exists a function  such that for every (hyper-)graph  and every integer  one of the following is true:

 contains  vertex-disjoint subgraphs each isomorphic to a graph in ; or
 contains a vertex set  of size at most  such that  has no subgraph isomorphic to a graph in .

The definition is often phrased as follows. If one denotes by  the maximum number of vertex disjoint subgraphs of  isomorphic to a graph in  and by  the minimum number of vertices whose deletion from  leaves a graph without a subgraph isomorphic to a graph in , then , for some function  not depending on .

Rephrased in this terminology, the Erdős–Pósa theorem states that the family  consisting of all cycles has the Erdős–Pósa property, with bounding function . Robertson and Seymour (1986) generalized this considerably. Given a graph , let () denote the family of all graphs that contain  as a minor. As a corollary of their grid minor theorem, Robertson and Seymour proved that () has the Erdős–Pósa property if and only if  is a planar graph. Moreover, it is now known that the corresponding bounding function is   if  is a forest , while  for every other planar graph  .

When we take  to be a triangle, the family () consists of all graphs that contain at least one cycle, and a vertex set  such that  has no subgraph isomorphic to a graph in () is exactly a feedback vertex set. Thus, the special case where   is a triangle is equivalent to the Erdős–Pósa theorem.

Bridgwater College Academy is a mixed all-through Academy which combines both primary and secondary education for pupils aged 3 to 16. The academy, which is sponsored by Bridgwater College, is located in Bridgwater, Somerset, England. It was established in September 2012 following the merger of East Bridgwater Community School with Sedgemoor Manor Junior and Infants schools.

History
The former school was a specialist Arts College, and has 800 students between the ages of 11 and 16.

Bridgwater was the first town in the South West level to be selected for the UK governments Building Schools for the Future initiative, which aimed to rebuild and renew nearly every secondary school in England. Within Bridgwater, Building Schools for the Future was to develop all of the 4 secondary schools along with 2 special provision schools, Elmwood School and Penrose School at an expected cost of around £100 Million. This included the complete relocation and rebuilding of a new school combining both the Haygrove and Penrose Schools. In July 2010 several components of the scheme for Bridgwater schools were cancelled and others were still under discussion.

Sportsheets International, Inc., nicknamed Sportsheets (after its first product), is an international sex toy manufacturer headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, United States. The company was founded in 1993. Sportsheets manufactures and sells bondage and sex products with a product line with over 300 specialty items.

History
The company Sportsheets International, Inc. grew from a single product, the Sportsheet. In the mid-1980s, Tom Stewart saw David Letterman stick to a Velcro wall. Having run the idea of being stuck to Velcro during sex by friends and their wives and girlfriends, Tom discovered something else. Most women would try it if they were able to get themselves free. Soon Tom spoke with a representative at Velcro and spoke about his idea. The representative gave him some sample material, and with the help of a friend that was a seamstress, had a bed sheet made out of the material. After many attempts at finding a way to stick a person to the sheet, Tom and his brother came up with the idea of using Anchor Pads and Velcro Cuffs. The Velcro Cuffs could be hooked onto the Anchor Pads, and the Anchor Pads would stick to the sheets. The anchor pads can hold a person to the bed, but can be removed if pulled from the corners.

Activities
Since 1993, Sportsheets International, Inc. has helped couples to explore new expressions of their sexuality and open up to exciting experiences together. For more than 25 years, they have empowered couples to seek more intimate connections and deeper levels of understanding each other. Their ever evolving catalog of adult products has provided partners the freedom to explore the boundaries of their sensuality. The original Sportsheet became a worldwide phenomenon, especially among women who liked the comfort of knowing that it is easy to get out of at any point during play.

In 1999, Tom brought his sister, Julie Stewart, on board as president to lead business operations, and the two have watched the company grow from a small business run out of Tom's garage to a large global corporation that was twice named to the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies. More than 25 years into the business, the Sportsheets team's mission remains the same: Empowering people to fully explore their sexuality while keeping partners connected. Updated versions of the Sportsheet continue to be among the company's bestseller item.

Heinrich Ernst Wachler (* 18 February 1871 in Breslau; †  September 1945  in Theresienstadt) was a völkisch-neopagan and  anti-semitic writer, dramatist and publicist.

Wachler's mother had been of Jewish origin but had converted to Protestantism in her youth.

There is some confusion about the death of Ernst Wachler. Neopagan web pages and print-on-demand books make it appear as if he died as the victim of the Nazis in a concentration camp. Neo-völkisch writers allege that he was sent to KZ Auschwitz where he perished. The German historian Uwe Puschner (Free University of Berlin) mentions that there are various speculations about Wachler's death, but that, according to two of Wachler's close relatives, Wachler died in the summer of 1945, after the war as an imprisoned German civilian, in the Theresienstadt concentration camp from Shigellosis.

Make Me a Supermodel, Season 2, premiered on March 4, 2009, is the second season of Make Me a Supermodel. It is broadcast on Bravo.

The new season started with higher than expected ratings after a much publicized campaign on blog sites, bus stops, and shopping malls. A casting special aired prior to the second season opener, featuring many models being photographed, critiqued on the runway, and sent away until only the final choices for the season remained. The casting special premiered in February 2009.

Major changes were made the second season, including viewer voting taken out, with the judges deciding who's eliminated and the winner of the entire show. The number of contestants was also increased from 14 to 16 and reduced the final 4 to only 3 finalists in the finale episode. The judging panel was also completely revamped. Former model Jenny Shimizu, along with fashion photographer Perou, one of the judges in the original British version, French fashion designer Catherine Malandrino and international model scout Marlon Stoltzman all joined as judges. Beckford was no longer a judge, and instead became the sole host of the show and the mentor of the male competitors. Australian model Nicole Trunfio replaced Niki Taylor and became the mentor of the female competitors. Lastly, every week, the featured photographer would choose a model they felt worked the photo shoot the best, and that winning model and their pick would get to go on a casting.

The winner of the competition, chosen by the viewers, would receive: a fashion pictorial in Cosmopolitan magazine, a cash prize of $100,000 from Maybelline New York, and a one-year contract with New York Model Management.

The winner of the competition was 18-year-old Branden Rickman from Central Point, Oregon, making him the youngest and first male model to win the show.

Gandy–Gamna nodules or Gandy-Gamna bodies, sometimes known as Gamna-Gandy bodies or Gamna-Gandy nodules, are small yellow-brown, brown, or rust-colored foci found in the spleen in patients with splenomegaly due to portal hypertension, as well as sickle cell disease. They consist of fibrous tissue with haemosiderin and calcium deposits, and probably form due to scarring at sites of small perivascular haemorrhages. They are visible on MRI scanning due to the presence of haemosiderin.

They can also be seen in atrial myxomas.

Francis Maule Campbell (c. 1844 – 30 December 1920) was a significant figure in the history of association and rugby football.

Early life
Campbell was born in Blackheath, Kent to Dawson Campbell, a wine merchant, and his wife Jane née Sutton. His father Dawson died after a short illness on 4 March 1844. Campbell attended Blackheath Proprietary School from 1851 to 1859,

Sportsman
A year later he was playing for the School's old boys team, the Old Blackheathens Football Club.  The Old Blackheathens in 1862, unable to be a truly old boys’ side, changed their name to Blackheath FC, Campbell becoming its treasurer and secretary.  He played for the Club until 1866.  He was also a member of the Old Blackheathens, the society of old boys from the Proprietary School, from 1885 until at least 1892.  It is believed that, at some point, he moved to Wales where he continued in the wine trade as his father had done.

Campbell as treasurer, together with club captain F.H. Moore, were the two appointees from Blackheath FC, representing their club at the historic meetings at the Freemasons’ Tavern, Great Queen Street, WC2 (now the site of the Freemasons’ Hall).  The purpose of the meetings, started on 26 October 1863, were as the proposition from Barnes stated:

It had always been Blackheath's intention to adopt for the new association, a form of the Rugby Rules.  When at the fifth meeting on 1 December 1863, it was proposed to adopt the alternative Cambridge Rules Campbell strongly objected.  The difference revolved around rules 9, 10 and 14 which involved tripping up and shinning known as hacking.  Campbell suggested an adjournment of the meeting "until the vacation so that the representatives of the schools who were members of the Association may be enabled to attend". Campbell's motion was defeated by 13 votes to 4 and the original proposal to expunge rules 9 and 10 was carried. At the sixth and final meeting on 8 December 1863, with the formation of the Football Association agreed, and with the election of A. Pember as President, E.C. Morley as secretary, and F.M. Campbell as treasurer, the meeting was concluded. At this point, Campbell informed those present, that although Blackheath FC approved the objects of the Association, it could not agree to play under the new rules which eliminated hacking, and so was withdrawing from the Association. Campbell was keen for the Association to succeed and continued to be its treasurer.  From that moment football divided forever, the meetings forming part of the history of the Football Association.  The unintended side effect was that the meetings also became part of the history of Rugby Union.

Blackheath FC went its own way and continued to play other clubs under its own rules, which were first published in 1862.  Also, because Blackheath played to its own laws and never experimented with the Association Rules as some other clubs had, Blackheath FC is able to lay claim to being the oldest surviving open Rugby Club.  Ironically, three years later in December 1866, following an abandoned match between Blackheath and Richmond, both clubs decided to remove hacking from their game. Blackheath understood the need for some code of practice within the game of rugby and so it was inevitable that they were one of the founder members of the Rugby Football Union in 1871.  Campbell had become one of those instrumental in the formation of both the Football Association and the Rugby Union.

Later life
Campbell pursued a career as a wine merchant, following in the footsteps of his parents.  Census records show Campbell living as a bachelor with his widowed mother Jane up until 1891. During the 1890s, Campbell moved away from his mother's residence at Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire to Bryn Llwydwyn, Machynlleth, Wales.   Three years after Jane's death in 1899, Campbell married Maria Louisa, widow of E. W. Yeeles of Bathford, Somerset and daughter of the late H. B. Walmsley of Acton. The married couple lived in Wales until Maria's death on 15 September 1918.

In late 1920, Campbell married Maude Beatrice Dunkerley.

Death
Campbell died on 30 December 1920 at his home in South Nutfield, Surrey. He was survived by his widow Maude Beatrice.

In the physics of aerosols, aerosol impaction is the process in which particles are removed from an air stream by forcing the gases to make a sharp bend.  Particles above a certain size possess so much momentum that they can not follow the air stream and strike a collection surface, which is available for later analysis of mass and composition. Removal of particles from an air-stream by impaction followed by mass and composition analysis has always been a different approach as to filter sampling, yet has been little utilized for routine analysis because of lack of suitable analytical methods.

Advantages
The most clear and important advantage of impaction, as opposed to filtration, is that two key aerosol parameters, size and composition, can be simultaneously established.

There are many advantages of impaction as a sampling method. For two of the most common configurations, an orifice and an infinite slot, theoretical predictions can be made and empirically verified that give the cuts point and shape of the collection efficiency of an impaction stage. The air stream moves over the sample, not through it as in filtration, reducing desiccation and chemical transformations of the collected sample. Almost complete control of the type of surface on which the particles are impacted, as opposed to the limited choice of filter types. By varying the speed of the air stream and the sharpness of the bend, one can separate particles into numerous size classifications while retaining a sample for analysis.

Disadvantages
There are also several disadvantages to impaction as a sampling method. Only a limited amount of material is available for mass and compositional analysis, as one can not collect more than a few monolayers of particles before particle bounce and mis-sizing are a potential problem.

Josephs (born March 29, 1961) is an American Professor of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin who has conducted research on the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive effects of acute alcohol intoxication. Currently, his primary area of research is on human behavioral endocrinology with an emphasis on hormone-gene interactions, and hormone-hormone interactions.

Biography

He graduated from Cornell University in 1983. Before entering graduate school in the Fall of 1984, he spent a year teaching algebra, geometry, and trigonometry to inmates at the Tompkins County Jail in Ithaca, NY. He received his M.S. in Social Psychology from the University of Washington in 1986, and his Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of Michigan in 1990. He was hired as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin in 1990 and is now a Full Professor. He is a Member of the Institute For Neuroscience, and the Institute for Mental Health Research, both located in Austin, Texas.
