is a polymer chemist known for his work in the fields of supramolecular chemistry, materials chemistry and polymer chemistry. Aida, who is the Deputy Director for the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) and a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Tokyo, has made pioneering contributions to the initiation, fundamental progress, and conceptual expansion of supramolecular polymerization. Aida has also been a leader and advocate for addressing critical environmental issues caused by plastic waste and microplastics in the oceans, soil, and food supply, through the development of dynamic, responsive, healable, reorganizable, and adaptive supramolecular polymers and related soft materials.

Education
Aida received his Bachelor of Engineering in Colloidal Science at the Yokohama National University in 1979, before moving to the University of Tokyo for his Master of Engineering (1981) and Doctor of Engineering (1984) degrees in Polymer Chemistry. He was awarded the Inoue Research Award for Young Scientists for his doctoral work, with the thesis title of "Controlled Polymerization by Metalloporphyrins" under the supervision of Professor Shohei Inoue.

Career
After completing his doctoral studies, Aida was immediately appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Synthetic Chemistry at the University of Tokyo. At the beginning of his research career, he worked on the development of precision macromolecular synthesis using metalloporphyrin complexes. In 1986, he was a visiting scholar at the IBM Almaden Research Center. Aida was promoted to the position of Lecturer in 1989 and Associate Professor in 1991, before being installed as a full professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Tokyo in 1996. In 2022 he was appointed as a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Tokyo.

From 1996 to 1999, Aida served as a researcher in the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) PRESTO Fields and Reactions Project. Aida was appointed as a visiting Visiting Professor at the Institute for Molecular Science, Okazaki, from 1999 to 2001. He served as the director for the JST ERATO AIDA Nanospace Project from 2000 to 2005 and the JST ERATO–SORST Electronic Nanospace Project from 2005 to 2010. Aida served as the director of the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute from 2008 to 2012. Since 2013 he has been a Deputy Director of the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS).

Contributions to research
Aida’s research focuses on supramolecular systems with unique properties and functions. Aida is recognized for his pioneering contributions to the emergence and progress of supramolecular polymerization. He reported the first example of this non-covalent polymerization by designing an amphiphilic porphyrin that spontaneously forms a 1D cofacial assembly in water as a prototype supramolecular polymer. Then, he non-covalently achieved (1) nanotubular polymerization, (2) living chain-growth (ring-opening) polymerization, (3) block copolymerization, (4) stereoselective polymerization, and (5) thermally bisignate polymerization. He has also made fundamental contributions in expanding the scope of supramolecular polymerization to include chain propagations in two and three dimensions. His works have challenged preconceptions in the field of supramolecular chemistry, connected gaps between conventional and supramolecular polymerizations and realized properties unachievable through conventional polymerization. In addition to fundamental contributions to the understanding of supramolecular systems, he has promoted their widespread use by developing materials for a wide range of applications. Aida has published several review articles on the historical background and progress of supramolecular polymerization: (1) Aida, Meijer, and Stupp, (2) Aida and Meijer, and (3) Hashim, Bergueiro, Meijer, and Aida.

In 1988, while working on the development of polymerization catalysts as a non-independent assistant professor, Aida published a prototype of supramolecular polymerization, based on his finding of a catalytic version of living polymerization, named "immortal polymerization". He utilized immortal polymerization to synthesize oligo(ethylene glycol)-appended amphiphilic porphyrin and confirmed its 1D assembly in aqueous media. In addition to this pioneering contribution to supramolecular polymerization, he made an early seminal discovery of extrusion polymerization within catalyst-immobilized mesoporous silica, affording extended-chain crystalline polyethylene fibers. He was also the first to discover morphology-dependent energy funneling in photoexcited dendrimers.

After being promoted to full professor, Aida revisited his work on supramolecular polymerization and demonstrated the first homochiral (chiral self-sorting) supramolecular polymerization using a cyclic peptide motif as the chiral monomer. He also synthesized an amphiphilic version of hexabenzocoronene, a "molecular graphene”, and succeeded in its supramolecular nanotubular polymerization, obtaining the first electroconductive supramolecular nanotube. He then utilized this nanographene platform to obtain radial and linear supramolecular block copolymers. The resulting block copolymers were designed to include donor/acceptor heterojunctions and displayed photophysical properties. This series of pioneering works challenged the preconception that supramolecular polymers are only 1D dynamic aggregates with poor structural integrity. Aida also found that the supramolecular polymerization of chiral amphiphilic hexabenzocoronenes proceeds in a one-handed helical manner via the majority rule. This work was further extended to the development of a redox-active oligo(o-phenylene) helix and, together with Professor Minghua Liu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, mirror-symmetry broken helical fibers consisting of an achiral component that serve as a chiral scaffold for transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. In 2014, Aida obtained a metal-organic nanotube by the supramolecular polymerization of a redox-active ferrocene-cored double-decker tetrapyridyl monomer and demonstrated that this nanotube, upon oxidation, can be cut into gigantic nanorings, which can then be pasted on a negatively charged mica substrate or assembled coaxially to recover the original nanotube upon reduction.

In 2015, Aida realized the first example of chain-growth supramolecular polymerization, where a bowl-shaped, corannulene-based monomer, rendered non-polymerizable by an intramolecular hydrogen-bonding network, is forced to polymerize by the action of a corresponding initiator that can reorganize the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding network into an intermolecular one. The polymer molecular weight is uniform and tunable by changing the monomer-to-initiator mole ratio. Furthermore, sequential polymerization of two monomers with this system leads to well-defined block copolymers. The chain growth is also perfectly homochiral, even when a racemic chiral monomer is polymerized. When one enantiomer of a properly designed chiral initiator is used for the polymerization, only the monomer with the preferred enantiomeric form polymerizes, resulting in 100% enantiomeric separation of the racemic monomer. These achievements challenged the notion that supramolecular polymerization always follows a step-growth mechanism and revealed the potential of supramolecular polymerization as a tool for precision macromolecular synthesis.

In 2017, Aida reported a conceptually new, "thermally bisignate", supramolecular polymerization, where supramolecular polymers are designed in such a way that they form upon heating as well as cooling but disappear at temperatures in between. This work challenged the preconception that supramolecular polymers are more stable at lower temperatures, while they readily dissociate upon heating, unveiling new insights into the dynamic nature of supramolecular polymers. One of the most energy-demanding and costly processes in macromolecular engineering is solution processing, as polymer solutions are viscous due to chain entanglement. Thermally bisignate supramolecular polymerization has the potential to solve this universal issue in macromolecular engineering.

In 2021, Aida reported the solvent-free autocatalytic supramolecular polymerization of phthalocyanines, where the cross section of the end of the propagating chain serves as a template to catalyze the conversion of phthalonitriles into phthalocyanines in an exceptionally high yield of over 80%. Solvent-free chemical synthesis and autocatalysis are important green technology concepts for sustainable materials.

Aida has made significant contributions to filling the gap between supramolecular and conventional (covalent) polymerizations and inspired the field through the development of a variety of innovative materials by expansion of the basic concept of supramolecular polymerization. Representative examples include

(1) "bucky gels", carbon nanotubes physically crosslinked by ionic liquids and the use of this technology for graphite exfoliation to graphene, and the fabrication of the first metal-free stretchable electronics and battery-driven dry actuators for manufacturing mobile Braille devices

(2) "aqua materials", highly water-rich (organic content of 0.1–0.2% for ultralow dependency on fossil resources) hydrogels anomalously having significant mechanical robustness or geometrical anisotropy

(3) ATP-responsive nanotubular carriers composed of chaperonin proteins, a biomolecular machine

(4) non-crosslinked photoactuators

(5) ferroelectric columnar liquid crystals

(6) mechanically robust yet self-healable polymer glass

(7) self-healable high-temperature porous organic materials

(8) optoelectrically rewritable core-shell columnar liquid crystals with an AND logic gate operation

(9) an elastic metal–organic crystal with a densely catenated backbone

(10) densely fluorinated nanochannels with ultrafast water permeation and salt rejection, formed by the stacking of macrocycles

His mechanically robust polymer glass which is self-healable at ambient temperatures, poly(ether thiourea), is notable as it dispelled a long-term preconception that mechanical robustness and self-healing abilities of polymers are mutually exclusive. Poly(ether thiourea) shows excellent mechanical robustness (Young's modulus E = 1.4 GPa) due to the dense, non-linear hydrogen-bonding network formed among thiourea groups, even though the molecular weight is relatively small (Mn = ~10,000 (g/mol)). Aida presented this concept at the World Economic Forum (Davos, 2019) as a promising example of sustainable materials.

In addition to his pioneering contribution to the field of supramolecular polymerization, he published seminal papers on photo-driven chiral molecular pincers that can deform guest molecules using light, subnanoscale hydrophobic modulation of salt bridges in aqueous media, and the first carbon nitride thin film.

Aida currently oversees a group of students and researchers with a diversity of research projects in his labs at the University of Tokyo and at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS). Current research in the Aida Lab focuses on the design and application of supramolecular materials, including supramolecular polymers and gels, liquid crystals, and biomolecular assemblies.

A gawęda () is a story; especially, one that belongs to a kind of Polish epic literary genre.

History
Gawęda is a genre of Polish folk literature.

The term also describes a literary work, stylized as an oral tale, characterized by freedom of composition, rich in digressions, and written in language close to colloquial language, that presented a picture of Sarmatian szlachta (nobility, or gentry) manners and morals.

During the Romantic period, in the first half of the 19th century, the genre developed as the "szlachta gawęda" ().  It told of the lives and manners of the nobility, affirming the Sarmatian world of values. The leading author in this genre was Henryk Rzewuski (Pamiątki Soplicy—Memoirs of Soplica, 1839–41). Other authors in this line included K. Gaszyński (Kontuszowe pogadanki—Kontusz Chats), Władysław Syrokomla (Urodzony Jan Dęboróg—Jan Dęboróg), Wincenty Pol (Wieczór przy kominku—An Evening by the Fire), A. Gorczyński, K.W. Wójcicki, and Ignacy Chodźko (Pamiętniki kwestarza—Memoirs of a Collector for Charity).

Gawęda elements may be found in works by Adam Mickiewicz (Pan Tadeusz), Juliusz Słowacki (Preliminaria peregrynacji do Ziemi Świętej JO. księcia Radziwiłła Sierotki—Preliminaries to the Peregrination to the Holy Land of Prince Radziwiłł the Orphan), and in Henryk Sienkiewicz's Trilogy. The szlachta gawęda played a great role in the development of the Polish historical novel.

A twentieth-century practitioner of gawęda was Melchior Wańkowicz (1892–1974).

"Differently" is a song recorded by Australian pop singer Cassie Davis. It is the second single taken off her debut album of the same name. It features guest vocals from Travie McCoy, the lead singer of American hip hop group Gym Class Heroes. Signed copies of the single are available if pre-ordered at Sanity or JB Hi-Fi. The song went gold on 18 September 2009.

Track listing
Maxi CD single

Airplay
"Differently" made its radio debut on 16 March 2009. It has since began to receive heavy airplay on the Today Network (especially "The Hot 30 Countdown") and Sydney radio station, Nova 96.9. "Differently" was the #1 most added song to Australian radio in its first week of release.

Collaboration
Of working with Travie McCoy, Cassie said: "I feel incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with many amazing artists on 'Differently.' To have the privilege of working with the creative force that is Travis McCoy has been a truly inspiring, insightful and out-of-this-world experience."
"Travie is an artist that I am a big fan of and admire. I hope that through my involvement in music my peers will hold me in the same light," added Cassie.

Davis spoke to McCoy on the phone about his contribution, and his rap was recorded separately. They met for the first time on the video set.

"That was lucky," Davis tells The Back Room.
"Sometimes you don't even get to meet someone you sing with at the video, it is all done on green screen.
"We clicked straight away. In our scenes together there was a competition to make each other laugh, a few times we were in hysterics and they had to stop filming. The songs is quite serious but we had so much fun on the set it was hard to be serious."

There was another problem in the video, with McCoy towering over the pocket-sized Davis.

"Travis must be like 6ft 4in. I'm like 5ft 4in. I definitely stood on a box in the close ups because they couldn't get our heads in the same frame."

Lyrics
Cassie herself stated that "Differently" is a track that celebrates those who are not afraid to go against the grain and embrace their individuality.

Live performance
Cassie performed "Differently" at 7:40am on Australian breakfast television show Sunrise backed by her band including Fish on the drums.

Music video

Details
The video clip for 'Differently' was shot in Los Angeles in mid-March 2009. It features Travie McCoy along with Printz Board who was a musical director for The Black Eyed Peas and Fish, the founder of Fishbone both making guest appearances. It made its premiere on Cassie's official YouTube channel on 12 April 2009.

Commentary
The entire music video takes place in front of a green backdrop with white crosses made up of tape stuck on each of the walls. Cassie undergoes three costume changes in the clip. It begins with Printz and Davis singing the "er, ah" melody together before the first verse kicks in. Quick cuts occur of Travie, Printz playing a keyboard, synthesizer and drum machine while Fish drums for the duration of the video. Cassie is also found playing three different instruments, the first being drums, guitar and then a drum machine. During McCoy's rap verse, the pair are found face to face repetitively moving around one another. There is also another sequence in which Cassie and two female dancers perform set choreography.

The Gramercy Residences, also known as The Gramercy Residences at Century City, is a residential high-rise condominium in Makati, Philippines. As of 2023, it is the fourth tallest building in the Philippines together with Discovery Primea and Shangri-La at the Fort, Manila. It is the first of several buildings built at the new Century City complex along Kalayaan Avenue by the Century City Development Corporation.

The building takes its name from Gramercy Park, a fenced-in private park in one of Manhattan, New York City's prestigious neighborhoods. Originally planned to be a 65-storey building, it was announced to have 73 floors above ground with a total height of  from ground to its architectural top.

Location
The Gramercy Residences is located within the former location of the 4.8-hectare International School Manila, of which 3.4 hectares was sold to Century Properties Corporation (the remaining was sold to Picar Development) in an auction by the Philippine government in 2007. Situated along Kalayaan Avenue in Makati Poblacion, it is just a block away from the busy entertainment area along Makati Avenue. It is also about a few blocks away from the Makati Central Business District, the capital's financial hub.

Architecture and construction

The Gramercy Residences was planned and designed by California-based architectural group Jerde Partnership International, in collaboration with Philippine architectural firm Roger Villarosa Architects & Associates. Structural design and engineering is provided by Hong Kong-based firm Ove Arup & Partners and Sy^2 + Associates Inc. Project and construction management is being handled by local firm Nova Construction + Development.

Feature
The main attraction of the building is its Skypark. Located on the 36th floor, it has three-storey waterfalls, multi-level infinity edge pools, lagoon pools, a designer restaurant, health club, café, spa, a garden island within a reflecting pool, and a cantilevering walkway — a pathway suspended in mid-air with infinity pools on one side and a glass handrail on the outside. The Skypark traverses the entire width of the building. There is also a Rooftop Bar/ Restaurant located on the 71st floor, named 71 Gramercy.

Peter Archambo I (1699–1759), in his time Peter Archambo, was a Huguenot silver- and goldsmith. He was the English-born son of the Huguenot refugee Archambault family from France. In 1710 he was apprenticed to the notable Huguenot goldsmith Jacob Margas (1677).

The sons of Huguenot immigrants were often apprenticed to masters of Huguenot origin, benefitting from their master's manufacturing skill and design knowledge and thus were in a position to develop the ideas and designs brought by their masters from France. Huguenot silver is noted for its fine workmanship and design elements including strap work, cut card work, and cast and applied ornaments and decoration with elaborate engraving.

Archambo's work is described as French in influence and he is credited with helping to introduce the Rococo style into England (popular c. 1725 – c. 1765).

After serving as apprentice for ten years to Jacob Margas he became a Freeman of the Butchers' Company on 7 December 1720 (rather than the Goldsmiths' Company, which was restricting entry to foreigners into their guild). He first registered his mark in London in 1721, his second mark in 1722 and his third mark in 1739 and is thought to have retired around 1750 and to have died c. 1759.
Archambo's work is characterised as in a more restrained manner than that of some of his contemporaries such as the extraordinarily complex silversmith Paul de Lamerie, to whom his son, Peter Archambo (today distinguished as Peter Archambo II) was initially apprenticed.

Archambo produced much fine quality domestic silver encompassing a wide range of objects, including cups, candlesticks, cream jugs and cake baskets. The wares often feature marine motifs such as shells and figures such as Neptune.

In 1731 he produced the very fine hot water kettle with a circular body with a finely engraved contemporary armorial crest now part of the collection at The Johnston Collection in East Melbourne in Victoria. Shells and Neptune adorn this elegant item which would have been a key requisite for entertaining in style.

Other of his works in well known collections include the magnificent wine urn chased with masks, shells and strap-work, and its companion, a wine cistern commissioned by George Booth, 2nd Earl of Warrington (1675–1758), which remain in the notable collection of silver at Dunham Massey Hall in Cheshire. The Gilbert Collection now at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, has a neo-classical hot-water urn and a set of three exquisite caddies with finely engraved decoration. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City there are a pair of plain ewers dated 1740 and a pair of sauce boats dated 1733–1734.

Thomas Heming was apprenticed to Archambo from 1735 to 1745, and his work, distinctly French in character, shows signs of his master's influence. Heming was an influential and highly regarded goldsmith and from 1760 to 1782 he was appointed Principal Goldsmith to George III. He was responsible for many pieces of large and important silverware, including regalia and plate for the coronation of George III in 1761.

Donald Hall Binney,  (24 March 1940 – 14 September 2012), was a New Zealand painter, best known for his paintings of birds.

Biography

Born and raised in Auckland, Binney was educated in Parnell, Auckland, taking classes with John Weeks and R B Sibson, who became his good friend and guide to the field of ornithology. From 1958 to 1961, he studied at Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland, gaining a Diploma of Fine Arts. Binney's tutors included Ida Eisa, James Turkington, Robert Ellis and Robin Wood. In 1963, he held his first solo exhibition at Ikon Gallery, Auckland and began teaching at Mount Roskill Grammar School, where he taught until 1966.

In 1962, Binney began painting at Te Henga, and views of Puketotara with indigenous birds became a common motif in his artworks. In birdwatching, Binney said he discovered a passage into the landscape and the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with it.

Binney described himself as a figurative painter concerned with the psychic metaphor of the environment. Working in oil, acrylic, charcoal, ink and carbon pencil, many of his works depict the west coast of Auckland and Northland, containing sea, sky, native birds, still life and occasionally, figures.

Binney was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for services to art, in the 1995 Queen's Birthday Honours. He was appointed as one of Waitakere City's inaugural arts laureates in 2004.

Binney died of a heart attack while in hospital in Auckland for an unrelated illness on 14 September 2012, at the age of 72, and was survived by his second wife Philippa and daughter Mary. His first wife was the historian Judith Binney.

Exhibitions
In 1965, Binney was included in a survey show of New Zealand painting, held in London and in the "Eight NZ Artists" touring show of Australian state galleries. In 1967, he was the recipient of a Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council travel fellowship. He lived in Mexico, London and Australia, but returned to teach at Elam, becoming the senior lecturer in fine arts in 1979.

Binney has exhibited widely throughout New Zealand and was the subject of a thirty-year survey show at the Fisher Gallery, Pakuranga in 1989. He also had a retrospective exhibition curated by Damien Skinner that toured the country from 2003 to 2004. His work is represented in many public collections including the Auckland Art Gallery, The University of Auckland and Te Papa.

Pettah is a neighbourhood in Colombo, Sri Lanka located east of the city centre Fort, and behind the Colombo Port. The Pettah neighborhood is famous for the Pettah Market, a series of open air bazaars and markets. It is one of Sri Lanka's busiest commercial areas, where a huge number of wholesale and retail shops, buildings, commercial institutions and other organisations are located.

The main market segment is designed like a gigantic crossword puzzle, where one may traverse through the entire markets from dawn till dusk, but not completely cover every part of it.

Pettah is derived from , an Anglo-Indian word used to indicate a suburb outside a fort. Today, the Sinhala phrase,  (outside the fort) conveniently describes the same place.

Demographics
Pettah is a multi-religious and multi-ethnic area. Moors, Bohras and Memons are the predominant ethnic group found within Pettah, however an average amount of Sinhalese and Tamil populations also exist. There are also various other minorities, such as Burghers, Malays and others. Religions include Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and various other religions and beliefs to a lesser extent.

Buildings and landmarks
Notable landmarks in the neighborhood include:
 Wolvendaal Church
 Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque
 Kayman's Gate
 Former Colombo Town Hall
 Colombo Dutch Museum

Disston is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States, southeast of Cottage Grove where Brice Creek and Layng Creek join to form the Row River. It is about a mile west of the Umpqua National Forest.  Its post office opened in 1906 and ran until 1974. Cranston Jones—the first postmaster—was also one of the founders of the first sawmill in Disston and the name of the town came from the famous Disston saws.

At one time there were two sawmills in Disston, the Wheeler-Osgood Lumber Company and the I. E.
James Lumber Company. Both mills closed down in the 1950s.

Disston was a sawmill and logging town and also a supply point for miners heading into the nearby Bohemia mining district. The terminus of the Oregon, Pacific and Eastern Railway logging railroad was also in Disston. Much of the former rail line has now been converted to the Row River National Recreation Trail, although the rail trail doesn't extend into Disston. A hiking trail managed by the United States Forest Service, the Noonday Wagon Road Trail, follows an 1896 wagon road that started in Disston and was used to haul supplies into the mining district.

Semisulcospiridae


was a Japanese illustrator, character designer, and model maker born in Tochio, Niigata. He is well known for character designs in the Kamen Rider entries Kamen Rider Blade, Kamen Rider Kabuto, and Kamen Rider Den-O and the creatures called "Horrors" in the GARO series.

Much of his early work as a designer and sculptor was featured in his Hobby Japan magazine column titled "Creature Core", which featured at least one of his sculptures in each monthly issue and was later collected as a hardcover book of the same name. In addition to original designs, this column also included sculptures based on characters from Kamen Rider, Inazuman, Guyver, Phantom of the Paradise, Hellraiser, Hellraiser III, and others. As part of his work for Hobby Japan, Nirasawa did character designs and cover art for the video games Beast Warriors and A-Rank Thunder Tanjouhen, and illustrations for Japanese RPGs, including illustrations of Michael Moorcock's Elric for the Japanese edition of Stormbringer.

In 2009, he was brought onto the productions of Kamen Rider Decade, the Cho-Den-O series, and Kamen Rider G in designing the Paradoxa Undead, the Alligator Imagin, the villains Goludora and Shilubara, and the Phylloxera Worm, respectively. He later provided the designs of the original villains of the Super Sentai Series's 2011 entry Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. His designs for the various Tokusatsu productions are published in UNDEAD GREEN BLOOD, GITAI, SAY YOUR WISH, and ZANGYACK WORKS LOG.

Art style
Two common themes in Nirasawa's design are asymmetry, with characters having lopsided forms or multiple limbs; and anatomical imagery, with many designs having skeletal elements and/or extensive muscular detail. His nonhuman characters often originate from a combination of animal and human features, particularly including insectoid features. His human characters are often voluptuous women, either semi-nude or wearing armor.

The CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship (Campeonato Mundial Semi Completo de CMLL in Spanish) is a singles professional wrestling world championship promoted by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) since 1991. As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won legitimately: it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. The official definition of the Light Heavyweight weight class in Mexico is between  and , but is not always strictly enforced. Because Lucha Libre emphasizes the lower weight classes, this division is considered more important than the normally more prestigious heavyweight division of a promotion. All title matches take place under two out of three falls rules.

The current champion is Bárbaro Cavernario, who won the championship on July 15, 2022.

The first champion to be recognized by CMLL was Jerry Estrada, who defeated Pierroth Jr. in the finals of a 16-man tournament that took place between September 15 and September 26, 1991. Overall, there have been sixteen reigns shared among fourteen wrestlers. Dr. Wagner Jr. and Atlantis are the only two wrestlers to have held the title twice; Dr. Wagner Jr. is listed as an unofficial three-time champion, but he is not recognized as such by CMLL. Jerry Estrada's 175 day reign is the shortest in history, while Niebla Roja holds the record for his first reign, at  days. Aquarius' unofficial title reign is the shortest on record, 8 days, but is not acknowledged by CMLL.

The Italian general election of 2006 took place on 10–11 April 2006.

In Trentino the centre-right came first narrowly ahead of the centre-left, as it happened nationally, while in South Tyrol the South Tyrolean People's Party led the centre-left to a major victory, but lost almost 10% of the vote from 2001 due to the alliance with Italian parties.

The CMLL World Welterweight Championship (Campeonato Mundial de Peso Welter CMLL in Spanish) is a professional wrestling world championship promoted by the Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling-based promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) since 1992. As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won legitimately; it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. The official definition of the Welterweight weight class in Mexico is between  and , but is not always strictly enforced. Because Lucha Libre emphasizes the lower weight classes, this division is considered more important than the normally more prestigious heavyweight division of a promotion. All title matches take place under two out of three falls rules.

The first champion to be recognized by CMLL was Fuerza Guerrera, who defeated El Khalifa in the finals of a four-man tournament that took place on February 15, 1992. In addition to being the first champion, Fuerza Guerrera is the individual to have held the championship the shortest time, at 22 days. Mephisto holds the record for the longest individual title reign, at 1,141 days, as well as the longest combined reign, 2,191 days in total. Titán is the current champion; he is on his first reign as CMLL World Welterweight Champion and is the 34th overall champion. He defeated Soberano Jr. on December 8, 2019, to win the title. In 1996, then reigning champion El Pantera planned on leaving CMLL to join their main rival AAA; before doing so he lost the CMLL Welterweight Title to Super Delfin in a match not sanctioned by CMLL. As CMLL knew that Pantera was leaving they used the opportunity to vacate the title, stating that Super Delfin's claim to the title was void. After El Felino became the CMLL-endorsed champion, he defeated Super Delfin to ensure that there was only one undisputed CMLL World Welterweight Champion.

That Evening Sun is a 2009 American drama film based on a 2002 short story "I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down" by William Gay. The movie, produced by Dogwood Entertainment, stars Hal Holbrook as Abner Meecham and is directed by Scott Teems who also wrote the screenplay. That Evening Sun premiered in March 2009 at South By Southwest, where it received the Audience Award for Narrative Feature and a special Jury Prize for Ensemble Cast. Joe Leydon of Variety hailed it as "an exceptionally fine example of regional indie filmmaking," and praised Holbrook's performance as a "career-highlight star turn as an irascible octogenarian farmer who will not go gentle into that good night." That Evening Sun also was screened at the 2009 Nashville Film Festival, where Holbrook was honored with a special Lifetime Achievement Award, and the film itself received another Audience Award.

The film opened in limited release in November 2009, and was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on September 7, 2010.

Plot
Abner Meecham, an aging Tennessee farmer discarded at a nursing facility by his lawyer son Paul, flees the old folks home and catches a ride back to his country farm to live out his days in peace. Upon his return, he discovers that Paul has leased the farm to an old enemy and his family. Not one to suffer fools or go down easy, Abner moves into the old tenant shack on the property and declares that he will not leave until the farm is returned to his possession. But Lonzo Choat, the new tenant, has no intention to move out or give in to the demands of the old man.

Abner catches Lonzo beating his daughter with a garden hose after she was caught returning from dating a forbidden boy, and Abner scares Lonzo off by shooting a pistol in Lonzo's direction. The next day Abner has Lonzo picked up by the police, and Lonzo's wife Ludie is upset that she has to pay for bail, which they cannot afford. When the Choats come back from town, Lonzo is visibly upset, and kills Abner's dog Nipper and hangs him from the porch of the tenant shack. Abner disappears for two days, and the Choats suspect he has finally given up. Instead, he returns with Nipper's stuffed corpse, and sets him on the front porch and tells it to stand guard. Abner and Lonzo get into an arguing match in which Lonzo threatens to burn the shack down with Abner inside. The argument culminates with Abner pointing a pistol at Lonzo, but Lonzo easily disarms Abner. The police are summoned the next day, and Abner is forced to move out, partially by Paul, who believes he has lost his mind. Abner admits defeat and says he'll move out by the next morning. Instead he tells his neighbor that Lonzo has threatened to kill him by burning the shack. Abner, haunted by recurring dreams of his long-dead wife, then sets the shack ablaze, but stumbles while trying to exit, and he is rescued by Lonzo.

When Abner awakes, he is in the hospital with Paul by his side. He accepts that he will move into a retirement community, but insists that he will plant corn in his small garden there, instead of tomatoes as his son suggested. In the final scene Abner visits his house one more time; the house has been vacated by the Choats.

The film would be Dixie Carter's final film credit.

Reception
That Evening Sun has received mostly positive reviews from critics. On review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 82% based on 38 reviews. The site's critics consensus reads, "Powered by a formidable leading turn from Hal Holbrook, That Evening Sun is a prime cut of southern gothic that offers plenty of meditative atmosphere for audiences to brood over." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 75 based on 12 critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Joe Leydon of Variety called the film a "deliberately paced, richly atmospheric drama (that) also boasts first-rate work by a splendid supporting cast and impressive production values." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three and a half stars out of four, and called the film "...a drama set on a Tennessee farm that begins by looking like your standard old codger story and turns out, as Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino did, to be a lot more."
