The Baby-Brousse is a Citroën 2CV-based utility vehicle, initially privately built, that later spawned the FAF series of vehicles.

Similar to a metal-bodied Citroën Méhari, the Baby-Brousse was a success with more than 31,000 being built from 1963 to 1987. The entire body was made of folded sheet metal with the other parts being bolted together  without welding.

Background
The Baby-Brousse was originally conceived in 1963 by two Frenchmen, Messrs. Letoquin and Lechanteurin, owners of Les Ateliers et Forges de l'Ebrié, a company in Abidjan, the capital of the Ivory Coast.

Sales figures

Baby Brousse-type vehicles have been made and sold under different names in several places:

Citroën Yagán in Chile (1973–1976), 651 examples  (or 1,500 examples).
Indonesia Baby Brousse 480 & FAF 600
Central African Republic Baby Brousse 180 & FAF 60
Namco Pony in Thessalonika, Greece (1974–83), built with Dyane 6 components in a specifically built factory. These had better build quality and equipment than others. 30,000 examples were built (16,680 according to Marie & Étienne Christian). The Pony was the only Baby Brousse exported to the United States.
Mehari in Senegal & Guinea Bissau (1979–1983), ± 500 vehicles.
Vietnam Citroën La Dalat (1969–1975) was manufactured, with 3,850 examples produced. Its creator, Jacques Duchemin, proposed the FAF concept to Citroën when he returned to France after the fall of Saigon.

FAF

The first FAFs were built in 1977, at the Citroën plant in Mangualde, Portugal.

Other
In Argentina: Savoiacars , has prepared some cars based on the Méhari, with improved platform and engine, and another with a body of their own design.

Various kit car style bodies were also developed, inspired by the Méhari, such as Belgium's VanClee.

Solatium (plural solatia) is a form of compensation for emotional rather than physical or financial harm. The word entered English during the 1810s, as a loanword from Latin  or .

World examples

England & Wales
Section 1A of the Fatal Accidents Act 1976 provides that in an action for wrongful death the spouse, civil partner or parents (where the deceased is a minor) of the deceased may claim damages for bereavement, which are awarded in the amount of a fixed sum. This has been described as a soliatum.

India
In India, victims of crimes that receive widespread media coverage are frequently recipients of one-time solatium payments from governments.

Scots law
It is used in Scots law mainly to denote reparation for pain and suffering in personal injury cases (although it can also be awarded in other types of cases), but also has a more technical meaning as the form of reparation available in an actio iniuriarum. In the former respect it is similar, but not identical, to the English law concept of general damages; Scots law damages are divided into pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses, rather than general and special damages. In the latter  sense, there is no ready English equivalent, as English law did not receive the legacy of the Roman actio iniuriarum.

South Africa
It is used in South African law as a delictual remedy for pain and suffering. To sue for solatium, a claimant must institute an action for pain and suffering or an actio iniuriarum.

United States
Beginning during the War in Vietnam, and continuing in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US Department of Defense (DOD) provides monetary assistance in the form of solatia and condolence payments to Iraqi and Afghan nationals who are killed, injured, or incur property damage as a result of U.S. or coalition forces’ actions during combat.

David Yurman is a privately held American jewellery company founded by David Yurman (born October 12, 1942, in New York City) and Sybil Yurman (born December 10, 1942, in New York City). Its headquarters is situated in New York City. There are currently many David Yurman boutiques in the United States and internationally.

History

Early years
David Yurman grew up in the Bronx, a borough of New York City. At age 15 he met a Cuban welder and sculptor named Ernesto Gonzalez, who taught him welding techniques. After a year at New York University, Yurman left college and spent the next five years hitchhiking between New York's Greenwich Village, Venice, California, and Big Sur, partaking in the Beatnik and San Francisco Renaissance cultural movements. In the early 1960s, Yurman apprenticed for several years with modernist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz. He also established his own studio in Greenwich Village. Here, he worked for various sculptors, including Theodore Roszak and Edward Meshekoff, doing large-scale public works. At Lincoln Center, Yurman helped create the railings of the promenade in the David H. Koch Theater, designed by Phillip Johnson. He also worked on the eagle sculpture commissioned for the James L. Watson Court of International Trade in New York City. In the late 1960s, Yurman became the shop foreman of sculptor Hans Van de Bovenkamp. In this studio, Yurman met the painter Sybil Kleinrock, his future wife, and business partner.

The transition to jewelry
In the early 1970s, Yurman and Kleinrock moved to Carmel in upstate New York. They formed a company called Putnam Art Works which specialized in sculptural jewellery. Throughout the next decade they exhibited their jewellery designs, sculptures and paintings at various galleries and craft fairs. They became key figures in the American craft movement. Through Putnam Art Works, the Yurmans learned about the marketplace for fine crafts and artisanal jewellery. They married in 1979 and founded the David Yurman company a year later, with Sybil Yurman acting as a co-creator and collaborator in all facets of the business. Their son, Evan Yurman, was born on January 31, 1982.

In 1977, Yurman was chosen as one of twelve jewellers to exhibit at the first New Designer Gallery at the Retail Jewelers of America Show (RJA) in New York City. This exhibit is seen as a pivotal moment for the connection between traditional artisans and established merchandisers. During the 1980s and 1990s, the David Yurman company was at the forefront of the emerging category of American designer jewellery.

In 2003, Evan Yurman joined the company, and in 2004 he became the Design Director of the Men's and Timepiece Collections. In 2009, he launched an exclusive collection of high jewellery and began overseeing the company's Wedding Collection, which launched in 2006.

Creation of cable
In 1982, Yurman designed what became his signature piece, the cable bracelet: a twisted helix adorned with gemstones on its end caps. He called the bracelet and related designs "Renaissance," and it has become one of his most enduring collections. Created through an innovative process Yurman pioneered, the cable motif was awarded two rare design trademarks in the United States since his design was instantly recognizable. His cable design evolved to become the thread that connects all of his collections.

Collections and jewelry style
Yurman creates collections in sterling silver and gold and is notably recognized for his mixed metal designs. Many sterling pieces have pavé diamonds—notably, he was the first major jeweller to set diamonds in silver. He calls this category Silver Ice, where he shifted the luxurious use of diamonds to a more daily occurrence. Yurman is also known for inventive stone cuts, most notably the cushion cut for the Albion Collection. The men's division, unique in the industry, is known for featuring non-traditional materials such as titanium, carbon fibre, and meteorites.

Advertising
In 2000, David and Sybil Yurman collaborated with the David Lipman advertising agency and photographer Peter Lindbergh for their first advertising campaign. It was shot in St. Barts with Amber Valletta as the face of the brand. It was a lifestyle campaign, arguing jewellery could be an emotional experience for the wearer. In the following years, prominent models and actresses such as Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Naomi Watts, Gisele Bündchen, Joan Smalls, Taylor Hill, and Natalia Vodianova have also appeared in David Yurman advertising campaigns.

In 2023, they collaborate with singer Shawn Mendes, actor, model Hero Fiennes Tiffin and actress Chandler Kinney as ambassadors.

The cable book
In 2017, Rizzoli published David Yurman Cable, the brand's first book. The monograph explores cable as an archetypal form and Yurman's artistic use of it as his signature through essays by Paul Greenhalgh, William Norwich, and Carine Roitfeld, and a foreword by Sybil and David Yurman.

Judgment against counterfeiters
In January 2019, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a default judgment in favour of David Yurman, awarding the company $1,550,000 and a permanent injunction against 31 defendants. The defendants operated a network of websites infringing on the company's trademarks, selling counterfeit David Yurman goods.

Honors and awards
1980 – Intergold Award from the World Gold Council for a gold wire and diamond necklace design that was the forerunner of the cable motif

1981 – Designer of the Year from the Cultured Pearl Associations of America and Japan for innovative use of pearls

2003 – Star Gazer award from Fashion Group International

2004 – Lifetime Achievement Award at the JIC Gem Awards

2011 – Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Gem Society, the first time a jewellery designer received this award

2013 – Couture Human Spirit Award from the Couture Show

2013 – Annual Visionaries! Award from the Museum of Arts and Design

Giving back
The Yurmans formalized a lifelong commitment to charitable causes by establishing the David & Sybil Yurman Humanitarian and Arts Foundation in 2001. The foundation presents David Yurman Angel Awards to individuals who support charities, and the arts through their donations and volunteerism. Past recipients include Steven Spielberg, Elton John, and Leonard Slatkin. The foundation also provides support for a variety of charitable initiatives, including The Whitney Museum of American Art, Studio In a School, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. David Yurman also created a pin for the Silver Shield Foundation benefitting the families of New York City firefighters and policemen. An avid horseback rider, David Yurman supports several charitable equestrian initiatives as well including Gallop NYC therapeutic horsemanship and the Gleneayre Equestrian Foundation.

Delta of Venus is a 1994 American erotic drama film directed by Zalman King and starring Audie England, Costas Mandylor, and Marek Vašut. It is inspired by the posthumously published 1977 short story collection Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin. NC-17 and R-rated versions of the film exist; the NC-17 rating is due to explicit sex. The DVD release contains both versions of the film. The film was released in June 1995 in the United States.

Plot
Set in Paris, France, in 1940 in the early days of World War II before the German invasion and conquest of France, Elena Martin (Audie England) is a young American writer struggling to get by in Paris while searching for inspiration for her first novel. Elena meets and has a sordid affair with a fellow American expatriate named  Lawrence Walters (Costas Mandylor). With some encouragement from her friends, her lover, and her publisher, Elena gets involved in nude modeling and progresses onward through many other forms of voyeuristic and participatory sexual adventures as she further researches for inspiration to write her book and become an author of erotic fiction.

Background
The novel by Anaïs Nin on which the film is based is not autobiographical, nor does it have a frame narrative. The film imposes a frame-narrative about a "Nin-like" American who begins an affair with another expatriate American in pre–World War II Paris, and who writes erotic stories that represent her fantasies. Some of these stories/fantasies, based on those of Nin, are explored on-screen.

The John Hunter House, also known as McCullough House, near Franklin, Tennessee is an Italianate style house that was built in 1875.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1988.

The NRHP eligibility of this property and others was covered in a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources.  The house was one of relatively few fine brick residences built in Williamson County, Tennessee, besides in Franklin, that were built from 1865 to 1937.  Another one, also in Italianate style, is the Andrew Vaughn House, also NRHP-listed.  Both "feature arched fenestration and
ornate eaves" and had had few changes since, as of the 1988 study.

The house was built or has other significance in c. 1875, c. 1890, and c. 1910.

The NRHP listing was for an area of  with just one contributing building.

Nazir Ahmed (or Nazir Ahmad)  (1 May 1898 – 30 September 1973) was an experimental physicist and the first chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) from 1956 to 1960.

Ahmed was the first vice president of Pakistan central Cotton Committee from 1948 to 1956.

Life
Ahmed was born in a Kakazai family. Ahmed obtained his B.Sc. in physics from Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College, Aligarh, India in 1919. He attended the University of Cambridge, UK, receiving PhD in experimental physics working with Ernest Rutherford in 1925 from Cambridge University; his PhD thesis title was "Absorption and scattering of γ-rays".

In 1926 Ahmed joined Arthur Holly Compton's expedition to Kashmir to study the effects of altitude and latitude on cosmic rays.

In 1930, Ahmed came back to India, where he was appointed assistant director at the Technological Laboratory, Central Cotton Committee of India, and became its director after one year. While living in Bombay, he married Razia, a member of the Khader Nawaz Khan family of Madras and the Carnatic Sultanate; her sister Rafia married Ahmed's friend, the naval officer HMS Choudri.

On 9 June 1938, George VI appointed Ahmed an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

In 1945, Ahmed was appointed member of the Indian Tariff Board.

After the partition of India, Ahmed migrated to Karachi in Pakistan, where he held various positions, such as joint secretary of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Pakistan Development Board. In 1956, he became the first chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), a post he held until 1960.

Ahmed was involved in efforts to build a heavy water plant at Multan, but the Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation turned down his request. In 1960, he was transferred to Ministry of Science and Technology under the administration of President Ayub Khan.

In music, a decet—sometimes dectet, decimette, or even tentet—is a composition that requires ten musicians for a performance, or a musical group that consists of ten people. The corresponding German word is Dezett, the French is dixtuor. Unlike some other musical ensembles such as the string quartet, there is no established or standard set of instruments in a decet.

History
Of the ensemble types named according to the number of musicians in the group, the decet and the larger undecet, duodecet, etc., are names less common in music than smaller groupings. In the eighteenth century, ten-part ensembles were most often encountered in the genre of the wind serenade, or divertimento (for example, Mozart, K. 186 and 166, both for 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 cor anglais, 2 horns, and 2 bassoons). Because the wind-serenade tradition was carried on during the 19th century primarily in France, the term dixtuor is somewhat more widely used in French than is its English equivalent, and French works figure most prominently in this ten-instrument configuration—most commonly the double wind quintet. One of the earliest examples to use the English term is the Decet for oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, piano, 2 violins, viola, cello, and contrabass (ca. 1841) by John Henry Griesbach (1798–1875). Perhaps the best-known work in this genre from the nineteenth century is Joachim Raff's Sinfonietta for ten winds, Op. 188.

Common Sense was a monthly political magazine named after the pamphlet by Thomas Paine and published in the United States between 1932 and 1946. It was headquartered in New York City.

History
Common Sense was founded in 1932 by two Yale University graduates, Selden Rodman, and Alfred M. Bingham, son of United States Senator Hiram Bingham III. Its contributors were mostly progressives from a wide range of the left-right spectrum, from agrarian populists, "insurgent" Republicans and Farmer-Labor Party activists to independent progressives, Democrat mavericks and democratic socialists; in general they opposed the Leninist-Stalinist authoritarian American Communist Party and abhorred its wrecker tactics. Their "socialism" tended to the typically non-Marxist indigenous American tradition exemplified by Henry George, Edward Bellamy, Laurence Gronlund, Eugene Debs, Frederic C. Howe, Thorstein Veblen, Robert La Follette, Sr.  Politically the magazine tended to support progressive independent political action in favor of the interests of the general welfare of the American commonwealth at large as distinguished from metropolitan corporate financial elites.  In 1934 Bingham & Rodman published a selection of essays representing the magazine's wide-ranging response to the depths of the first trough of the Great Depression in America, Challenge To The New Deal (New York, Falcon Press, 1935), an important witness to the era's progressive political thought outside the metropolitan partisan establishment.

The magazine attracted a broad range of contributors, typically independents, diversely progressive, including Thomas Ryum Amlie, Roger N. Baldwin, Charles A. Beard, Carleton Beals, V. F. Calverton, John Chamberlain, Stuart Chase, Bronson Cutting. Miriam Allen DeFord, Lawrence Dennis, John Dewey, John Dos Passos, Paul Douglas, Theodore Dreiser, Henry Pratt Fairchild, John T. Flynn, J. B. S. Hardman, Morris Hillquit, Sidney Hook, Robert La Follette, Jr., Philip La Follette, Fiorello La Guardia, Jay Lovestone, Mary McCarthy, Claude McKay, H. L. Mencken, Dwight Macdonald, Vito Marcantonio, Lewis Mumford, A. J. Muste, George W. Norris. Gerald Nye, Floyd Olson, Milo Reno, James Rorty, Bertrand Russell, Howard Scott, Upton Sinclair, Jerry Voorhis, Mary Heaton Vorse, Charles W. Yost, Stephen Spender, Robert F. Wagner, Burton Wheeler, and Edmund Wilson.

In his book The Politics of Upheaval, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. stated that during the early New Deal years of the Great Depression, Common Sense became "the most lively and interesting forum of radical discussion in the country." In 1946 the magazine was absorbed by The American Mercury.

Quotations
Major General Smedley Butler of the United States Marine Corps, in one of his most widely quoted statements, declared in a 1935 issue of the magazine:

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers.  In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.  I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914.  I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in.  I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912.  I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916.  I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903.  In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." also published as the booklet War Is a Racket.

The "Facts and Fancies" column in the May 1935 issue of Common Sense (p. 25) included this item from Senator Robert La Follette, Jr., based on statistics from a 1926 Federal Trade Commission study:

"If the population of the United States were one hundred, and the total
wealth were one hundred dollars, the following would be the proportions of
ownership:  One man would have fifty-nine dollars, one man would have nine dollars,
twenty-two men would have one dollar and twenty-two cents, and seventy-six
men would have less than seven cents each."

History
The Salunkhe clan descend from Chalukyas. Salunkhe is the surname of a prominent Maratha clan. The Salunkhe clan belongs to the Kshatriya varna. They have Manavya gotra. The descendants of the Chalukya dynasty of the 5th century CE came to be known by the surname Salunkhe in Maharashtra and Solanki in Gujarat. Prabhas Patan, a city in present-day Gujarat, was the main Thane of the Chaulukyas. The name "Prabhas" arises from Sun God (savitar or bhaskar). His wife named Prabha's son Prabhat.

An electric dragster is a drag racing vehicle which contains an electric propulsion system which is powered by batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors (ultracapacitors), and sometimes they include a combustion engine to recharge their ESS (Energy Storage Systems).

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common because electric propulsion systems have recently been gaining recognition as a replacement for gasoline and diesel powered propulsion systems. They are being considered as replacements for gasoline and diesel powered vehicles for many reasons, including the high efficiency of electric motors, their reliability, as well as their torque curves which can be achieved without a costly transmission. The torque characteristics of electric motors are attractive because they produce large amounts of torque, and they start producing most of it at zero RPM.

One of the most significant problems which affect electric vehicle performance is the power density of their energy storage systems (energy density is a contributing factor too). Batteries and supercapacitors especially have relatively low energy densities compared to liquid fuels such as gasoline.  Associated increases in mass can result in slower acceleration when compared to a gasoline-powered vehicle with similar power and weight characteristics.  Increased mass can also increase braking distances and pitching. Offsetting these disadvantages is the benefit that batteries in an electric dragster can be evenly placed along the floor to keep the centre of mass low.

Georgy Porfiryevich Sudeykin (; 11 April 1850 – 16 December 1883 Saint Petersburg) was a Russian Gendarme colonel, the inspector of the Saint Petersburg Department for Protection of Communal Security and Order. He was killed by his own double agent, Sergey Degayev.

Sudeykin was born into a noble family. In the 1870s, after graduating from a Cadet school, he served in the Kiev Gendarme Directorate. In 1879, he was appointed head of the Kyiv police, after his predescessor, Baron Geyking, had been killed by a group who styled themselves the 'Executive Committee of the Socialist Revolutionary party', also known as the Kyiv buntari (rebels), led by a young nobleman, Valerian Osinsky. He successfully broke the group. Osinsky was arrested with two others in January 1879. On 11 February, he and two officers raided a house where six of the buntari, five men and a woman named Natalya Armfeldt were hiding. Two of the surrounded rebels opened fire, killing one of the officers. Sudeykin escaped injury because he was wearing a bullet proof breast plate. The police returned fire, killing two brothers named Ivichevich, and capturing the others. Fourteen of the buntari were tried in May 1879. Three, including Osinsky, were hanged; the others sentenced to 14 years and six months hard labour.

Sudeykin was quickly promoted to the top of the Okhrana hierarchy. In 1881, he became the Head of the Secret Department of Saint Petersburg, responsible for coordination of all secret agents in the capital of the Russian Empire. In 1882, a special position of the Inspector of the Secret Police was created for Sudeykin. There, he supervised all the secret agents of Okhrana.

Sudeykin had managed to recruit one of the Narodnaya Volya leaders, Sergey Degayev, as his agent. According to Degayev, Sudeykin sounded almost like a revolutionary himself, referring to the tsarist regime as rotten and promising that eventually Sudeykin and Degayev would rule Russia, with Degayev helping to wipe out Sudeykin's enemies through the auspices of Narodnaya Volya, and Sudeykin removing all challengers to Degayev's leadership within Narodnaya Volya by employing the assistance of Okhrana. Degayev's information led to arrest of Narodnaya Volya's leader Vera Figner and many other important members of the organization.

Narodnaya Volya eventually exposed Degayev's betrayal. They offered to spare his life if Degayev assassinated Sudeykin. Degayev requested secret meetings with Sudeykin. For unexpected reasons, Sudeykin did not attend the first two of those meetings. Sudeykin came to the third meeting, however, and Degayev killed him by shooting him in the back on 16 December 1883. Degayev, with the help of Narodnaya Volya, managed to escape from Russia to the United States, where he lived under the name of Alexander Pell.

The Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) is an annual international convention for the discussion of free and open source software used with graphics; The first Libre Graphics Meeting was held in March 2006. Communities from Inkscape, GIMP, Krita, Scribus, sK1, Blender, Open Clip Art Library, Open Font Library, and more come together through the Create Project to assemble this annual conference. It was co-founded by Dave Neary and Dave Odin.

Overview
Held yearly since 2006 the Libre Graphics Meeting aims to attract developers, artists and professionals who use and improve free and open source software graphics applications. LGM aims to bring these people together in the cause of creating high quality free graphics applications; By collaborating it allows the development of cross-application assets like brushes and enhanced interoperability such as shared file formats.

Many of the separate groups take the opportunity to hold birds of a feather (BOF) sessions. For many individuals it is the only time they will get to see their team members in person.

Presentations

Many things are discussed at each Libre Graphics Meeting, including usability, standards, announcements, color management and furthering the use of free software graphics applications in professional environments.

Kinematic templates
At the University of Waterloo some original research was done in the field of creating drawing aids for graphics applications. The aim was to allow an artist to draw using templates that would improve the shape or correctness of a brush stroke while maintaining a natural look. This presentation was given by Michael Terry, the lead researcher on the project.

Professional adoption
Ginger Coons gave a presentation at LGM 2009 discussing what it will take to get free software graphics applications in the doors of professional environments and schools

Collaboration
As well as cross pollination of ideas the Libre Graphics Meeting allows the discussion of possible future collaboration.

Louis Suárez-Potts, OpenOffice.org's Community Development Manager and Community Lead was sent to the LGM 2007 to find ways that OpenOffice.org might be able to transcend the boundaries of a traditional office suite by collaborating with other open source projects. One of the ways that has been suggested was that open office could suggest another open source application when it could not perform the role a user required. For example when a user needed to edit an image in an office document, OpenOffice.org may suggest GIMP to fill the role required.

The Palais des congrès de Paris is a concert venue, convention centre and shopping mall at the Porte Maillot in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, France. The venue was built by French architect Guillaume Gillet, and was inaugurated in 1974. Nearby the venue are Bois de Boulogne and the affluent neighbourhood of Neuilly-sur-Seine. The closest métro and RER stations are Porte Maillot and Neuilly – Porte Maillot, accessible via the lower levels of the building.

History
The land on which the convention center is located is on the edge of the Plaine des Sablons and Sablonville; it was previously occupied by bastion No. 51 on the Thiers wall, the Luna-Park and the Église Notre-Dame-de-Compassion de Paris.

After the destruction of the Thiers wall fortifications around 1920, this wasteland was used for the installation of temporary summer amusement parks. Even after the war, it housed a few government buildings. The construction of the Boulevard Périphérique, parallel to it caused a complete redevelopment of the Parisian area.

From 1970, on the site of the old Luna Park, the convention centre and the Hotel Concorde Lafayette located next door, were built. The small Notre-Dame-de-Compassion church there, built by Louis-Philippe in memory of his deceased son, was dismantled and then rebuilt stone by stone, a hundred meters further. Works were by architects Guillaume Gillet, Serge Maloletenkov, Yves Betin and Henri Guibout, with the buildings inaugurated on 28 February 1974.

An extension was carried out between 1997 and 1999. The imposing sloping facade, which dates from this rehabilitation, is the work of architect Christian de Portzamparc.

Venues
With its 32,000 m2, the convention centre has since 1999 four amphitheatres spread over four floors:
 the large Grand amphitheatre (3,723 seats) was renovated in 1991. The surface of the stage, 26 m by 22 m, and the technical installations make it possible to schedule company conventions during the day as well as opera or ballet shows in the evening.
 the Bleu (826 seats), Bordeaux (650 seats) and Havane (373 seats) amphitheatres which are smaller.
 two TV studios.

The palace also has numerous conference rooms and a two-level shopping arcade.

During the 1999 extension, the exhibition areas were doubled with three additional levels and two new flat halls. The new Bordeaux amphitheatre is built in an inverted cone, visible on the façade. Its new architectural form in an inclined plane makes it unique and of international renown today.

The convention centre is managed by the company Viparis.

Hotel

The Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile Hotel, located next door, with its 33 floors, 995 rooms and suites, and standing 137 m high (190 m with the antenna located on its roof), is one of the tallest buildings on the territory of the city of Paris after the Eiffel tower and the Montparnasse tower, (but smaller than some of the buildings in the La Défense district located nearby). It was inaugurated in April 1974, as part of the creation of the Centre International de Paris.

The Vika Line () is a light rail section of the Oslo Tramway in Oslo, Norway. It runs between Wessels plass, through the neighborhood of Vika and Aker Brygge, before arriving at Solli. The section is served by SL79 trams on line 12. The line is owned by the municipal company Kollektivtransportproduksjon, and operated by its subsidiary Oslo Sporvognsdrift.

The line was opened on 21 August 1995 to serve the newly redeveloped areas with a high concentration of jobs. From 1875 to 1961, the Vika area has also been served by the Vestbanen Line. The line serves the large working areas at Aker Brygge, that has many corporate head offices, as well as the Oslo City Hall and The City Hall Square. The line provides connection to the city's water bus services to Nesodden and Bygdøy.

History

Vestbanen Line
The first line at Vika was built by Kristiania Sporveisselskab, and opened as a horsecar route from Oslo West Station to Stortorvet on 10 October 1875. It was electrified in 1899, and extended to Skillebekk in 1909, as what became the Skøyen Line. The Vestbanen Line was closed in 1961, one year after the city council decided to gradually close the city's tramway.

Planning
During the 1980s, the former shipyard of Akers Mekaniske Verksted at Vika went through an urban redevelopment. Several large companies started building corporate head offices at the area known as Aker Brygge, that also featured shopping and residential areas. The Vika area had by the mid-1990s 5,000 residents and 30,000 jobs. With the construction of the Festning Tunnel, it would also become possible to make The City Hall Square, the square in front of Oslo City Hall, car-free.

Plans were launched in a report in 1989, that summarized the possibilities for different public transport expansions throughout Oslo. In October, an agreement was reached where the  to build the line would be split evenly between the municipality, the state and the private real estate developers: Aker Eiendom, Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap and Berdal Strømme. By 1990, municipal-owned Oslo Sporveier, the then owner and operator of the tramway, stated that the project would be profitable, and contribute NOK 4.9 million per year to the company. This meant that the municipality could recover the investment within three years.

In 1992, the city council gave funding for the project. One of the suggestions for the private financing of the project, was for the companies to create a kommandittselskap, and purchase two trams from the city for NOK 8 million each. The Vika Line was also seen as part of a possible light rail version of the Ring Line—a circular line that was to connect northern Oslo between east and west without passing through the city center. Had the light rail solution not been discarded in favor of making the ring part of the Oslo T-bane, the Vika trams would, after reaching Majorstuen, have continued onwards towards Rikshospitalet, that opened in 1999, and Nydalen.

Construction
The city council made the final decision to build the line on 18 May 1994, supported by the Labour Party, Socialist Left Party, Centre Party and the Red Electoral Alliance.  The right-winged opposition parties opposed the suggestion, arguing that financing was not yet finalized, and that they wanted to have The City Hall Square completely free of all traffic, not just automobiles. City Commissioner of Transport and the Environment, Raymond Johansen from the Socialist Left Party, argued that building the line would creating a more people-friendly city center, and allow the different parts of the city center to be better connected with public transport.

Construction started on 18 August 1994, when Raymond Johansen lay down the first track. By then, inflation had adjusted the construction cost to NOK 53.5 million. The line opened on 21 August 1995.
 When the line opened, it was served by two lines: no. 10 Jar–Sinsen–Disen and no. 15 Majorstuen–Frogner–Sagene.
The line was the first new street tram line to be built in Oslo since the Sinsen Line opened in 1939. Estimates before opening showed that the line should have 900,000 riders the first year. By June 1996, the two lines had a daily ridership increase of 2,300, a 19% increase.

With the redevelopment of the Bjørvika and Vippetangen areas, located east of The City Hall Square, three other segments of tramway have been proposed to be built along the fjord edge, and could connect to the Vika Line in the future.

Route

The Vika Line is served by line 12 of the Oslo Tramway. Services are each ten minutes, with reduced frequency in evening and on weekends. All lines are operated with SL79 articulated trams by Oslo Sporvognsdrift, on contract with Ruter. The trams and tracks are owned by the municipal company Kollektivtransportproduksjon. The line is  long.

The line follows the streets Rosenkrantz gate, The City Hall Square and Cort Adelers gate. It has unique stations: Christiania torv, Rådhusplassen, Aker brygge and Vikatorvet. The new stations on the route are Kontraskjerat, Aker Brygge and Ruseløkka. It intercepts the Skøyen Line at Wessels plass to the east, where the trams continue to the city center. In the west, the line intercepts with the Skøyen- and Frogner Line at Solli. Only along The City Hall Square and Cort Adlers gate at Vikatorvet does the new line follow the route of the former Vestbanen Line.

At The City Hall Square, there is transfer to the ferry quay for Oslo Fergene, that operates route 91 on contract with Ruter to Bygdøy. At Aker Brygge, there is transfer with Nesodden–Bundefjord Dampskipsselskap, that operates Ruter route 601 ferries to Nesodden. Transfer to line 13 of the tramway, that serves the Skøyen- and Lilleaker Line is possible at Solli; transfer to line 19, that serves the Briskeby Line, is possible at Wessels plass and Kirkegata. All other tram routes can be reached at Stortorvet. Transfer to the rapid transit (T-bane) and railway are available at Kirkeristen, where they connect to Jernbanetorget, Oslo Central Station and Oslo Bus Terminal.

Aker Brygge is a large working area, and features the head offices of several of Norway's largest companies, including DnB NOR, Storebrand and Aker. It also has 70 stores and 40 restaurants. Also located in the area is the former Western Railway Station, that today's hosts the Nobel Peace Center. At The City Hall Square is the Oslo City Hall, and the square borders to the recreational and historical area of Akershus Fortress.

Morè is a Maratha clan from the present day Indian state of Maharashtra. Clan members also use it as the surname. Members of the Marathas as well as Mahar Morè clan use the clan name as their surname. The totem associated with this clan is a peacock. Members worshipping the same Totem cannot intermarry.

History of the Morès of Javli
The Maratha Morè clan of Javli came to prominence  early in the 16th century when the first sultan of Bijapur granted them the fiefdom (Jagir) of Javli. The ruler of the fief had a title of Chandrarao. Javli, near the modern day hill station of Mahabaleshwar, occupied a strategic position in the eastern foothills of the Northern Sahyadri mountain range. Within 60 miles length of the mountains there are eight passes  through which trade  flowed from the coastal Konkan ports of Chiplun and Colaba  on their way to the inlands of Deccan.For eight generations, the Morès amassed great fortune by taxing the  trade with a help of  a force of 12,000 soldiers.

Conquest of Javli by Shivaji Maharaj
Modern historian Dipesh Chakrabarty writes about the controversial circumstances in which Javali was obtained by Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of Maratha empire in 1656. Javli was very important to Shivaji Maharaj for the founding of his Kingdom. Upon review of the documents, prominent historian Sarkar concluded that "the acquisition of Javli was the result of deliberate murder and organized treachery on part of Shivaji". However, Chakrabarty says that this conclusion did not sit well with the nationalist historians from Maharashtra of Sarkar's time. This was despite the fact that all the old Hindu biographers agreed that it was an act of premeditated murder. The remaining son of Chandra rao continued his fight against Shivaji by seeking refuge with the Adil shah. Other members of the clan joined the Mughals and  helped the Mughal general, Jai Singh in his campaign against Shivaji.
Historian Gordon agrees with Sarkar and concludes based on historical documents that Shivaji had no legal rights to Javali hence this was an act of "conscious treachery" on his part. and Indian historian Satish Chandra also comes to the same conclusion.

Operation Dawn, code-name Fajr (الفجر) in Arabic, was a rejected Egyptian military proposal planned by General Abdel Hakim Amer, as tension built between Israel and Egypt ahead of what was to become the Six Day War. It was not approved by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was committed to not attacking Israel, unless Israel attacked first. Amer’s proposal was to strike the Israeli Air Force, in the prelude to what would become the Six-Day War. The Egyptian attack plan was to also involve strategic bombing of major ports, the Negev Nuclear Research Center near Dimona, airfields and cities. Arab armies would then attack,  effectively cutting Israel in half with an armoured thrust from northern Sinai via the Negev desert.

Chronology
Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser had provoked Israel when he closed the Straits of Tiran on May 22, 1967.

Abdel Hakim Amer, an Egyptian general, planned the operation, which were it to have been approved would have taken place on May 27, 1967.

According to the Israeli diplomat Michael Oren, Operation Dawn was called off after Nasser was informed by the Soviet Union that the United States was aware of the plan.  Israel sent urgent messages to the United States on May 25, 1967, saying an attack from Egypt was imminent.

Debate about whether Egypt had really posed an imminent military threat
The White House ordered an intelligence assessment, which found the Israeli claims unfounded. Israeli prime minister Levi Eshkol wrote on a copy of one of the urgent messages transmitted to the United States "All to create an alibi".

According to Avi Shlaim: "All of Nasser’s plans depended on the assumption that the Israelis would strike the first blow. The president rejected the first strike option as politically impossible because he thought it would give the United States and Israel the very pretext for which they were looking. International opinion would be alienated, the Soviets might withdraw their support, and the United States could enter the war on Israel’s side."

According to John Quigley, there is thin evidence that there was any Egyptian plan to attack Israel that would actually have been carried out.

Some Israelis claimed that they knew from "Egyptian uncovered documents" that there was an Egyptian plan to attack and cut off Negev, capture Eilat, and make occupied land contiguous to Jordan.

Dry bays are the compartments immediately adjacent to fuel tanks or other flammable fluids. They frequently contain fluid lines, control lines, electrical equipment, etc. Ballistic damage to some of these bays, from penetration due to weapons fire or other causes, can allow fuel to enter the bay causing fire after contact with electrical components, and loss of the aircraft.

During the Vietnam War the United States suffered combat losses totalling some 5000 aircraft: 2500 fixed-wing jets and 2500 helicopters. As losses increased during the course of the conflict, studies were initiated to find a way to reduce the loss rates, with research that continued after the war. The research analysis revealed that fuel fires and explosions accounted for 50% of the losses, and that  half of these were attributable to fuel explosions in voids or so-called dry bays. As a result, the military services in the US and elsewhere joined in an effort to improve the survivability of jet aircraft and helicopters.  This led to development and experimentation with a variety of approaches that addressed fire extinguishing in several areas, including engine nacelles/bays, dry bays, fuel tanks, occupied spaces such as cabins and cargo bays, and ground and ship flight decks.

The Contenance angloise, or English manner, is a distinctive style of polyphony developed in fifteenth-century England which uses full, rich harmonies based on the third and sixth. It was highly influential in the fashionable Burgundian court of Philip the Good, and on European music of the era. Its leading proponent was John Dunstaple, followed by Walter Frye and John Hothby.

Origins of the term
The phrase Contenance Angloise was coined by Martin le Franc in 1441–42, in a poem dedicated to Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy (1396–1467) to describe the era's distinctive musical style. Le Franc mentioned English composer John Dunstaple (c. 1390–1453) as the key figure and a major influence on the Burgundian composers Guillaume Dufay and Gilles Binchois.

Characteristics
It is not clear exactly what Martin le Franc saw as the elements of the Contenance Angloise. Musicologists have noted the style as a distinctive form of melodic polyphony using full, rich harmonies based on the third and sixth, which may have made lyrics easier to articulate.

Major composers
Although nearly all of Dunstaple's manuscript music in England was lost during the Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536–40), some of his works have been reconstructed from copies found in continental Europe (particularly Italy), the existence of which indicates his widespread fame in Europe. He may have been the first composer to provide liturgical music with an instrumental accompaniment.

This tradition was continued by figures such as:

 Walter Frye (c. 1420–75), whose masses were recorded and highly influential in France and the Netherlands
 John Hothby (c. 1410–87), an English Carmelite friar who travelled widely, composed occasionally, and wrote several theoretical treatises including La Calliopea legale; he is also credited with introducing innovations to the medieval pitch system

Decline
The influence of English composers on the continent seems to have declined towards the end of the fifteenth century when, having lost their major possessions in France, and entering the Wars of the Roses, they may have been preoccupied with domestic matters. Franco-Flemish music then became the dominant force in European music.
