Margaret Lloyd (born 1973) is an American soprano who is particularly known for her performances in contemporary operas and concert works. She has sung in the world premieres of several operas, most notably portraying the role of Lightfoot McClendon in the premiere of Carlisle Floyd's Cold Sassy Tree at the Houston Grand Opera in 2000. She has also sung in the world premieres of several works by composer Michael Torke.

Biography
Lloyd was born and raised in Ames, Iowa. She graduated from Ames High School in 1991 and then entered Northwestern University where she earned a bachelor's degree in vocal performance in 1995. In 1996 she joined the Young American Artists Program at Glimmerglass Opera, making her professional opera debut with the company that year as Margret Borden in Jack Beeson's Lizzie Borden.  The following year she played Curley's Wife in Glimmerglass's production of Carlisle Floyd's Of Mice and Men.

In 1999 Lloyd returned to Glimmerglass Opera again to appear in the world premieres of three one act operas that were presented together under the title Central Park. For this production she portrayed the role of Jessica in Deborah Drattell and Wendy Wasserstein's The Festival of Regrets, the role of The Daughter in Michael Torke and A.R. Gurney's Strawberry Fields, and the Woman with sun reflector in Robert Beaser and Terrence McNally's The Food of Love. The works were also presented with the same casts at the New York City Opera that year. She also sang as a soloist in the world premieres of Aaron Jay Kernis's Garden of Light and Michael Torke's Four Seasons with the New York Philharmonic, the New York Choral Artists, and the American Boychoir under conductor Kurt Masur at Avery Fisher Hall. In addition, Lloyd sang the role of Gretel in Engelbert Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel with Chicago Opera Theater.

In 2000 Lloyd portrayed Cunegonde in Leonard Bernstein's Candide at Central City Opera. She also appeared at the Houston Grand Opera (HGO) as Lightfoot McClendon in the world premiere of Carlisle Floyd's Cold Sassy Tree, a role which she recorded and reprised at the Austin Lyric Opera (2001), Utah Opera (2003), Opera Carolina (2003), and Opera Omaha (2004). In 2001 she portrayed the roles of Pamina in The Magic Flute and Amy in Mark Adamo's Little Women at the HGO. The latter performance was recorded live for broadcast on PBS's Great Performances and subsequently released on CD and DVD. That same year she performed the role of Josephine in H.M.S. Pinafore with Santa Fe Opera and sang the world premiere of Michael Torke's Four Proverbs as Alice Tully Hall, later singing the premiere of the chamber orchestra version of that work with the American Composers Orchestra at Zankel Hall in 2005. In 2002 she portrayed the role of Sophie in Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier with Opera Carolina and Cunegonde in Candide with Portland Opera.

Crickets: Best of the Fading Captain Series 1999–2007 is a collection of songs from releases in the Fading Captain series of Dayton, Ohio rock singer-songwriter Robert Pollard. Pollard launched his Fading Captain series of record releases in 1999, eventually releasing 44 works before ending the series in 2007. The compilation Crickets was the 44th and final release in the series. The series included albums, singles, and EPs, and featured collaborations with musicians including Tobin Sprout, Mac McCaughan (Calling Zero), Doug Gillard (Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Department), and Tommy Keene (Blues and Boogie Shoes).

Reception
Pitchfork rated Crickets 6.0/10, saying it "lacks adequate bait for completists and will confuse and likely put off neophytes."

AllMusic rated the album three out of fives stars, calling the album too often meandering and lacking "the cohesion and charge of even the lesser GBV albums."

PopMatters called Crickets "overstuffed" with throwaway tracks and "some new bonus material that isn't even worth mentioning", but containing "a dozen fantastic songs" and "ten or so other solid tracks."

Feng Junyan (; born 18 February 1984) is a former Chinese footballer who predominantly played for Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League.

Club career
Feng Junyan started his football career playing for Guangzhou F.C.'s youth academy before being promoted to the club's satellite team Xiangxue Pharmaceutical who were allowed to play during the 2002-03 season in the Hong Kong First Division League. Upon his return, the club's manager Mai Chao was impressed by him and on 5 July 2003 Feng was given his league debut against Xiamen Hongshi in a 1-0 defeat. As the season progressed, Feng would start to establish himself as the team's first-choice right winger and on 1 November 2003, he scored his first goal in a 6-1 win against Harbin Lange. The following seasons would see Feng further establish himself within the team until Shen Xiangfu came in as manager in 2007 and preferred Yang Pengfeng on the right wing after Feng lost his place due to injury. He would watch as Guangzhou went on to win the division title and promotion to the Chinese Super League; however, in the following season Shen converted him into a defensive midfielder and Feng enjoyed a productive season that saw Guangzhou quickly adapt to league and finish in a respectable seventh at the end of the 2008 season.

At the end of the 2009 season, Feng would go on to establish himself as the club's most capped player when he made 160 league appearances. Unfortunately for Feng, he was not allowed to continue his consistent form within the top tier when it was discovered that the club's general manager Yang Xu had fixed a league game on 19 August 2006 against Shanxi Wosen Luhu and the club were subsequently punished with relegation for their knowledge of his crimes. Despite this, Feng decided to stay loyal towards the club and played a vital part in the club's revival by immediately winning the second division title at the end of the 2010 season. With the club gaining new owners after the match-fixing scandal, they decided to pump significant investment into the squad and brought in established internationals in Gao Lin, Yang Hao, and Cho Won-hee which saw Feng earn limited playing time as the club went on to win its first top tier league title in 2011 season. On 18 February 2015, Feng announced that he had decided to retire from football.

Eric Arthur Simms, DFC (24 August 1921 – 1 March 2009) was an English ornithologist, naturalist, writer, sound recordist, broadcaster and conservationist, as well as a decorated wartime Bomber Command pilot/ bomb-aimer.

He was born on 24 August 1921, the youngest of three brothers, in London, where his father was head gardener at the private gardens in Ladbroke Square.

He won a scholarship to Latymer Upper School and in 1939 began to read history at Merton College, Oxford, where he also took up bird ringing and joined the University Air Squadron, and, without completing his studies, was sent for aircrew training in Canada and the United States in 1941. He was called up, joining the Royal Air Force in 1941 and by 1943 was a Leading Aircraftman, and was then commissioned as a pilot officer on probation in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve on 19 March 1943, serving as a bomb aimer and second pilot in Lancaster bombers, in which he flew 27 raids over Germany. On 14 November 1944 he was awarded Distinguished Flying Cross, the citation praising his "skill and determination which have been an inspiration to the crews with which he flies" and a "complete disregard for danger in the face of the heaviest enemy defences".

After demobilisation, he worked as a teacher in Warwickshire, and served on the research committee of the West Midland Bird Club.

He then worked for the BBC, initially as a wildlife sound recordist, before making more than 7,000 radio broadcasts and hundreds of television appearances. He was a passionate believer in bringing natural history to a wider audience, and was a resident naturalist at the BBC. He is credited with starting the Countryside radio programme in 1952. The theme tune used for the programme was Rivers of the North of England by Lambert Williamson. As a guest on Desert Island Discs in 1976, one of his eight choices was a recording of a blackbird he had made near his London home. He narrated the 1972 BBC LP "A Year's Journey" (catalogue number RED135M), which was subtitled "Wildlife recordings from the BBC TV Series for schools".

Simms also appeared in Sir John Betjeman's 1973 TV documentary Metro-land, about the Metropolitan Railway line running northwest out of London. He was featured birdwatching in Gladstone Park, near to his home in Dollis Hill.

In 1980 he and his wife Thelma (who was Section Officer Thelma Jackson, WAAF, when they married) retired to South Witham, near Grantham, Lincolnshire. He died on 1 March 2009. Thelma had died in 2001. They had a daughter and a son, Amanda and David, and four granddaughters.

Bibliography
Simms was a prolific writer of over twenty books and numerous articles.

Zhang Si (; born June 12, 1983) is a Chinese football player.

Club career
Zhang Si began his professional football career with Beijing Guoan where he would go on to become the team's third choice goalkeeper. To get more playing time he would be loaned out in 2003 to Sinchi FC to play in the Singapore league. His time at Singapore was personally considered a success and he would go to attract the interests of Chinese team Wuhan Huanghelou, however the interests died out when both clubs could not agree on a transfer price. He would go on to be loaned out once more to Beijing Institute of Technology FC who were a College football team during his loan period. When the loan period ended he would permanently transfer to them when the club decided to officially enter the Chinese league pyramid and become a professional football team. It turned out to be a successful move when he would help the team win their last Collegiate championship and also immediate promotion to the second tier when they won the division championship. After spending the next few seasons establishing the team within the league newly promoted top tier side Guangzhou Pharmaceutical were looking for a reserve goalkeeper for Li Shuai. Zhang Si would eventually make his debut in a league game against Changchun Yatai on October 11, 2008 after Li Shuai was substituted during the game after a poor performance, the game unfortunately ended 6-0 to Changchun. Zhang would not play another game for Guangzhou until October 31, 2009 in a 2-1 defeat to Tianjin Teda F.C. that was also the last game of the season. At the end of the season he was allowed to leave and he joined Beijing Institute of Technology FC once more.

It has been known as University of St. La Salle – Affiliate College and La Salle Affiliate College. In June 2000, the school managed the high school department of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Learning Center (Mount Carmel La Salle).

History

Supervised by University of St. La Salle-Bacolod

In the late 1990s, there was a growing demand for quality education in Capiz. It has been observed that many graduates in the local high schools go to big cities like Manila, Cebu, Bacolod and Iloilo to pursue a college education. With this, concerned Capizeños in the persons of Mrs. Judy Roxas (mother of Mar Roxas), Atty. Antonio Ortiz, Dr. Abundio Balgos and Engr. Antonio Balgos met Br. Rolando Dizon FSC, then president of the  University of St. La Salle in Bacolod City and presented the idea of putting up a La Salle school in Roxas City. University of St. La Salle-Bacolod then supervised Our Lady of Mount Carmel Learning Center (also known as Mount Carmel La Salle), the first La Salle supervised school in Roxas City under Mrs. Norma Tagle of USLS-Bacolod. In June 1999, the  University of St. La Salle – Affiliate College (USLS-AC) under the supervision of the University of St. La Salle in Bacolod City opened its doors to the youth of Capiz and the neighboring provinces in Panay Island. The first school building housed ten classrooms, a science lab, a computer lab, a clinic, a prayer room, a library and administrative offices mostly located on the ground floor. The first school head and dean of the college was Dr. Teresita Atotubo, formerly the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at USLS- Bacolod. Br. Rolando Dizon FSC became its first President while Mrs. Judy Roxas was chosen as the first chair of the Board of Trustees (BoT). The school initially offered four academic programs: Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, Bachelor of Science in Commerce with majors in Management Accounting, Business Management, Management Information Systems and Marketing, Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and Bachelor of Science in Biology. In that same school year, the school acquired a Multi-cab service car through the donation of De La Salle-College of St. Benilde.

Mt. Carmel La Salle Turn Over and Merger

In June 2000, Mount Carmel La Salle, also a University of St. La Salle-supervised school in Roxas City, decided to turn over the management of its high school to USLS-AC due to the growing number of students and limited space of its school. Mount Carmel La Salle (OLMCLC) decided to retain and maintain its Pre-School and Grade schools. The first principal of the high school department was Mrs. Marilyn Centillo. Mrs. Floramae Billanes was appointed principal effective SY 2001–2002. Also, USLS-AC started its application for the BS Nursing program. Consequently, DepEd granted approval for the opening of Pre–School and Grade 1 effective SY 2002–2003. Infrastructure improvements were the construction of basketball court, guard house, canteen, high school Home Economics room, and perimeter fence at the back of the main building.

In 2013, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Learning Center merged with the School and officially closed its campus in Kalipayan Rd., Punta Tabuc.

Name changed to La Salle Affiliate College

At the start of SY 2002–2003, the name of the school was changed to La Salle Affiliate College. It was in that significant school year that the Preparatory School and Grade 1 were opened also under the management of Mrs. Billanes. The three academic programs in the college level were granted government recognition. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) granted Government Permit to LSAC to operate the first year level of BS Nursing effective SY 2003–2004. Mrs. Judy Roxas visited LSAC to turn over the proceeds of a benefit concert of Ogie Alcasid, Randy Santiago, and Zsa Zsa Padilla that was used in the construction of the Covered court roof.

Supervised by De La Salle University-Manila

In May 2003, Dr. Rosemarie Montañano (from De La Salle University) became the Executive Vice-president and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of LSAC and it was followed by the appointment of Atty. Antonio Ortiz as President of the school on July 26, 2003, since the post was vacated by Br. Rolando Dizon, FSC who was given the Chairmanship of the CHED.

She was appointed by the BoT as chief executive officer (CEO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the school. The transition paved the way to improving the school's operation and instruction based on the Lasallian tradition and orientation. Some of her initial projects were the repainting and improvement of the buildings and school grounds; review of the vision-mission, core values, and the formulation of the graduate attributes; review and revision of the curricula from Basic Education Unit (BEU) to College; and the Open House in the Basic Education Unit.

In mathematical biology, the community matrix is the linearization of a generalized Lotka–Volterra equation at an equilibrium point. The eigenvalues of the community matrix determine the stability of the equilibrium point.

For example, the Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model is

where x(t) denotes the number of prey, y(t) the number of predators, and α, β, γ and δ are constants. By the Hartman–Grobman theorem the non-linear system is topologically equivalent to a linearization of the system about an equilibrium point (x*, y*), which has the form

where u = x − x* and v = y − y*. In mathematical biology, the Jacobian matrix  evaluated at the equilibrium point (x*, y*) is called the community matrix. By the stable manifold theorem, if one or both eigenvalues of  have positive real part then the equilibrium is unstable, but if all eigenvalues have negative real part then it is stable.

The Pedlar of Swaffham is an English folktale from Swaffham, Norfolk. The following text is taken from English Fairy and Other Folk Tales, 1906, which in turn refers to the Diary of Abraham dela Pryme, 1699:

Sources

The Pedlar of Swaffham
Tradition says that there lived in former times in Soffham (Swaffham), alias Sopham, in Norfolk, a certain pedlar, who dreamed that if he went to London Bridge, and stood there, he should hear very joyfull news, which he at first slighted, but afterwards, his dream being doubled
and trebled upon him, he resolved to try the issue of it, and accordingly went to London, and stood on the bridge there two or three days, looking about him, but heard nothing that might yield him any comfort.

At last it happened that a shopkeeper there, hard by, having noted his fruitless standing, seeing that he neither sold any wares nor asked any almes, went to him and most earnestly begged to know what he wanted there, or what his business was; to which the pedlar honestly answered that he had dreamed that if he came to London and stood there upon the bridge he should hear good newse; at which the shop-keeper laught heartily, asking him if he was such a fool as to take a journey on such a silly errand, adding: "I'll tell thee, country fellow, last night I dreamed that I was at Sopham, in Norfolk, a place utterly unknown to me, where methought behind a pedlar's house in a certain orchard, and under a great oak tree, if I dug I should find a vast treasure! Now think you," says he, "that I am such a fool to take such a long journey upon me upon the instigation of a silly dream? No, no, I'm wiser. Therefore, good fellow, learn wit from me, and get you home, and mind your business."

The pedlar observing his words, what he had say'd he dream'd, and knowing they concentred in him, glad of such joyfull newse, went speedily home, and digged and found a prodigious great treasure, with which he grew exceeding rich; and Soffham (Church) being for the most part fallen down, he set on workmen and rectified it most sumptuously, at his own charges; and to this day there is his statue therein, but in stone, with his pack at his back and his dogg at his heels; and his memory is also preserved by the same form or picture in most of the old glass windows, taverns, and alehouses of that town unto this day.Diary of Abraham dela Pryme, p. 220; Surtees Society 10 Nov. 1699.

Origins

Similar legends can be found throughout Europe and the Middle East. The earliest version is one of the  poems of the Mathanawi titled "In Baghdad, Dreaming of Cairo: In Cairo, Dreaming of Baghdad", by 13th-century Persian poet Jalal al-Din Rumi. This poem was turned into a story in the tale from One Thousand and One Nights: "The man who became rich through a dream"; and spread through various countries' folklore, children's tales and literature.

More recently, the story was adapted into the plot of the novel The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, who took the structure from Jorge Luis Borges story "The Tale of Two Dreamers" in A Universal History of Iniquity (1935).

Arthur Geoffrey Moreland (29 November 1914 – 1996) was an English professional footballer who made 11 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham and Port Vale. He played as a centre forward.

Moreland was born in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire. He made his name in non-League football as a target-man with Prestwood Amateurs and Stafford Rangers before deciding to try his luck with Swindon Town. He played just once for Swindon, scoring their goal in a 2–1 defeat to Millwall in the Third Division South Cup. He signed for First Division club Birmingham in the 1938 close season, and made his debut in the opening match of the 1938–39 season, a 2–1 home defeat to Sunderland on 27 August 1938. He kept his place for another couple of games, but played only once after that before moving on to Port Vale in November 1938, where he scored three goals in seven league appearances. He departed after war in Europe broke out, most probably in the autumn of 1939.

Project Forum is a non-profit organisation established in 2006 in Bratislava, Slovakia. The organisation’s main mission is to support education, promote culture and create space for debate and polemical exchange in Europe.

The organisation's main activity is maintaining the Salon website  which offers up-to-date surveys of essays and articles published by the European and world press, with a special focus on Central Europe. So far, the work of over 200 authors from all over the world has been featured or quoted, and Salon also includes their profiles. Authors featured include Timothy Garton Ash, Péter Esterházy, Slavenka Drakulić, Umberto Eco, Václav Havel, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Orhan Pamuk and Victor Erofeyev. From its home country of Slovakia, Michal Hvorecký, Rudolf Chmel and Martin M. Šimečka are among those featured most frequently.

Rather than trying to offer an exhaustive review of everything being published in Europe and elsewhere, Salon aims to survey and introduce of the most influential and provocative texts, those that offer new and interesting insights or angles. Brief annotations, posted in Slovak, English and German provide readers with a concise outline of each text, and the hyperlinks provided take the reader directly to the website of the publication where the article originally appeared. These include Newsweek, the New Yorker, the Economist, Frankfurter Rundschau, Libération and many others.

Salon may be compared to the German-language Perlentaucher – one of the most prestigious on-line surveys of essays and feuilletons published worldwide – established by the French-German journalist Thierry Chervel. However, unlike Perlentaucher, Salon is multilingual.

Wang Xiaoshi (; born January 5, 1982) is a former Chinese football player who currently plays as a versatile defender or striker.

Club career
Wang Xiaoshi started his professional football career with Wuhan Guanggu after graduating from their youth team in the 2000 league season. During his time with Wuhan, he was part of the team that gained promotion into the Chinese Super League after the club won the 2004 division title. With the club he won the Chinese Super League cup at the end of the 2005 league season; however it wasn't until the 2006 league season that Wang established himself as being a vital member of Wuhan's defense. By the 2007 league season Wang was a constant regular for Wuhan; however, his time with the club was cut short when in the 2008 Chinese Super League season the club had a dispute with the Chinese Football Association after the club's management did not accept the punishment given to them by the Chinese Football Association after a scuffle broke out during a league game against Beijing Guoan on September 27, 2008, that saw the club decide to disband from the league.

Without a club to play for at the beginning of the 2008 Chinese Super League season, Wang Xiaoshi transferred to the newly promoted Guangzhou Pharmaceutical for 1.6 million yuan. Within his first season he established himself as a vital member within the team's defence and aided the club to a mid-table finish. The next season saw Wang have a terrible game against Hangzhou Greentown on April 11, 2009 which resulted in a 3-2 defeat and the club's manager Shen Xiangfu taking him off during the game, much to Wang's displeasure, which led to public falling-out between the manager and Wang's departure from the first team where he was replaced by Bai Lei within the team's defence. The situation only got worse for him as the club were relegated at the end of the 2009 league season and the club's new manager Lee Jang-Soo decided to drop Wang into the team's reserves and only offered him a single game within the whole of the 2010 league campaign.

Even though Guangzhou won the division title Wang seriously considered retiring until he decided to remain within the second tier when he joined Hubei Oriental at the beginning of the 2011 league season. With them he helped play a vital part in their promotion to the top tier at the end of the 2012 league season before he announced his retirement on 2 December 2012.

Cui Wei (Chinese:崔威; born April 7, 1983) is a Chinese footballer who plays as a defender.

Club career
Cui Wei began his club career with the Beijing Guoan youth team in 1998 and was considered to be a rising prospect that was good enough to be loaned out to German club Eintracht Frankfurt youth team in 1999. In 2003, he graduated into the senior Beijing Guoan squad where he quickly established himself within the team and won the 2003 Chinese FA Cup with the club. With the introduction of Lee Jang-soo as the Head coach at the beginning of the 2007 Chinese Super League season, Cui Wei would struggle to maintain his position within the team and he transferred to fellow top-tier club Changchun Yatai. At the beginning of the 2009 Chinese Super League season Cui Wei was loaned out to Guangzhou Pharmaceutical after being unable to gain a regular place with Changchun Yatai. He was released at the end of 2009 season. Cui returned to play professional football in 2013 when he joined China League One club Beijing Baxy. He transferred to Beijing BIT in March 2016.

The UEFA second round was contested by the best eight runners-up from the nine first-round groups from the UEFA segment of the qualification tournament for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in football. The winners of each of four home and away ties joined the group winners in the World Cup in South Africa. The matches, which are often referred to as 'play-offs', were played on 14 and 18 November 2009. The draw for the ties was held in Zürich on 19 October, with the teams drawn by South African player Steven Pienaar.

Qualification

The eight best runners-up from the UEFA first round qualified for the play-offs. With one group having one team fewer than the others, matches against the sixth-placed team in the group are not included in this ranking.

Seeding and draw

In September 2009, FIFA announced that they would be seeding teams for the play-off draw. The eight eventual qualifiers were seeded according to the world rankings released on 16 October 2009. The top four teams were placed into one pot, with the bottom four teams placed into a second. A separate draw was conducted between each matchup to decide the host of the first leg.

Seeding controversy

Seeding using FIFA ranks was used at a similar stage in the 2006 qualification. However, it was claimed that FIFA had indicated that there would be no seeding this time. At the time of the decision, countries in play-off positions included Russia, France and Portugal, and Germany also had not yet qualified (their last remaining match was away to Russia). The lack of a decision on seeding until late in the tournament led some to suggest that FIFA were waiting to see which teams were in the play-offs before declaring the rules of the tournament. Commenting on this matter, Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given said:
It’s totally unfair on us smaller nations. If they say that before a ball is kicked then at least you know the picture, you know exactly where you stand but to change it now is absolutely ridiculous and I don’t think it’s right at all.
Sports Illustrated's Gabriele Marcotti gave the opinion that "FIFA is pretty much changing the rules halfway through the qualifying tournament."

Seedings
The eight teams were seeded according to the FIFA World Rankings released on 16 October (shown in parentheses in the table below).

Matches

France won 2–1 on aggregate.
Ireland officially asked FIFA for the second leg to be replayed after Thierry Henry clearly handled the ball twice during the build-up to the French goal. This request was denied. Ireland eventually pursued legal action against FIFA over the decision before ultimately receiving a €5 million settlement.

Portugal won 2–0 on aggregate.

Greece won 1–0 on aggregate.

2–2 on aggregate; Slovenia won on away goals.
After the game Russian fans followed the Republic of Ireland's lead. They demanded a replay of their World Cup qualification play-off against Slovenia on the official site of FIFA. However, there was not any reaction from FIFA on this event.

Francis Bernard SL (1663 – 30 June 1731) was an Irish lawyer, politician and judge.

He was the son of Francis Bernard of Castle Mahon and Mary Freke, daughter of Arthur Freke of Rathbarry and Dorothy Smyth and sister of Percy Freke. Bernard sat as Member of Parliament (MP) in the Irish House of Commons. He represented Clonakilty between 1692 and 1695 and subsequently Bandonbridge between 1695 and 1727. In politics he was described as a "furious Tory", as were his wife's father Stephen Ludlow and her sister Lady Rogerson (his wife's political views are less clear). He held the minor office of Recorder of Kinsale from 1692. He was appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland in 1711, a post he held until 1714, and Prime Serjeant in 1724. Two years later he became a Judge of the Irish Court of Common Pleas, despite holding what were by then definitely the "wrong"  political opinions.

In 1693, Bernard married Alice Ludlow, daughter of Stephen Ludlow M.P, of Ardsallagh, County Meath and his wife Alice Lachard of Wales. They had six sons, including Francis and Stephen, and one daughter, Elizabeth (1703-1743), who married first James Caulfeild, 3rd Viscount Charlemont, and subsequently Thomas Adderley. His grandson James, son of Major North Ludlow Bernard and his first wife Rose Echlin, inherited Castle Bernard, the main family residence, from his childless uncle Francis junior. He was the ancestor of the Earls of Bandon. The leading statesman James Caulfeild, 1st Earl of Charlemont was another of Bernard's grandsons.

His death was sudden and unexpected: though close to seventy he had apparently been in good health, and he had been sitting in Court the day before he was found dead in his bed. Alice outlived her husband and died in 1741.

An anonymous elegy praised him extravagantly: "rock of the law and nature's pride". It also suggested that his death was due to overwork.

Roman Inscriptions of Britain is a 3-volume corpus of inscriptions found in Britain from the Roman period. It is an important reference work for all scholars of Roman Britain. This monumental work was initiated by Francis J. Haverfield, whose notebooks were bequeathed to the University of Oxford. The first volume, Inscriptions on Stone, was then edited by R.G. Collingwood and R.P. Wright with an addendum by R.S.O. Tomlin. It was first published in 1965, with a new edition in 1995.

Volume II contains, broadly speaking, the inscriptions found on instrumentum domesticum (domestic utensils).

Volume III (edited by R.S.O. Tomlin, R.P. Wright, and M.W.C. Hassall) is a continuation of Volume I, containing all the lapidary inscriptions found from the closing date of Volume I up to 31 December 2006.

There are also indexes published to the volumes allowing the scholar quickly to reference nomina and cognomina, military units, imperial titles, emperors and consuls, deities and so forth. Entries are also cross-referenced to the CIL and other indexes and journals as necessary.

References to RIB entries are usually written in the simple form: for example,  refers to entry 1726 in volume I, which in this particular case is a part of an altar with the inscription "". This inscription is shown here with the critical marks from the RIB intact.

Malaysian Gods is a 2009 Malaysian documentary film directed by Amir Muhammad and produced by Da Huang Pictures. Although not fully banned (unlike the director's last two documentaries), the Malaysian Film Censorship Board disallowed it from screening in cinemas and on TV. It thus was screened on college campuses and at private venues.

It premiered on 18 April 2009 at the 22nd Singapore International Film Festival.

Synopsis
In September 1998, Anwar Ibrahim was sacked as Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. His expulsion and subsequent trial for corruption and sodomy triggered a wave of street protests by his supporters and those who were against the authoritarian rule of the government of Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. The label for this movement and era was 'reformasi' (reformation). Malaysian Gods takes a look at several pivotal protests that took place in the year following his sacking. It eschews archive footage in favour of interviews with people who are living, working in or visiting the actual locations of the demonstrations, about a decade later. All the interviews are done in Tamil, the main language of the smallest of the three major ethnic groups. What do people now have to say about their lives, hopes and dreams? And have the socio-political markers of Malaysian society changed all that much since then?

Candy Ride (foaled September 27, 1999 in Argentina) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse who went undefeated in six starts on both turf and dirt racing surfaces in Argentina and the United States. In Argentina, he won the Gran Premio San Isidro and the Joaquin S. de Anchorena, setting a world record of 1:31.01 for 1,600 meters on the turf in the latter. He was named Argentina's Champion Miler of 2002. Relocated to the United States in 2003, he won the American Handicap and set a track record in the Pacific Classic Stakes. Retired to stud in Kentucky, he developed into a top 10 sire whose notable offspring include American Horse of the Year Gun Runner.

Background
Candy Ride is a bay stallion standing  high who was bred in Argentina by Haras Abolengo. He was sired by American-bred Ride The Rails, who raced in the United States and stood at stud in Argentina. His grandsire is American multiple Grade I winner Cryptoclearance, who was a grandson of Mr. Prospector. Candy Ride is out of the mare Candy Girl, a daughter of Candy Stripes, who also sired 2005 American Champion Male Turf Horse Leroidesanimaux and 2006 American Horse of the Year Invasor. Candy Girl is from a strong female family that produced multiple stakes winners in South America.

As a yearling, Candy Ride was privately sold for the equivalent of about $12,000 to Gumercindo Alonzo.

Racing record

2002: in Argentina
Candy Ride did not officially race at age two. However, he made several starts over sprint distances as short as two furlongs in what is referred to as "country racing" in Argentina. His record in these unofficial races is unknown, but helped establish his reputation. He went off as the favorite in his first official start at the Hipodromo Argentino on August 9, 2002 in a maiden race over 1,200 meters (roughly 6 furlongs) on the dirt. After tracking the early leader, he took the lead halfway through the race and continued to draw away to win by twelve lengths.

For his next start on October 12, Candy Ride was stepped up to the Group One level in the Gran Premio San Isidro at a distance of 1,600 meters (roughly one mile) on the turf. Going off at odds of 4–1 in a field of 11, he rated in fourth place then went to the lead with  furlongs remaining. He drew clear to win by 8 lengths.

Candy Ride made the final start of the year in the Gran Premio Joaquin S de Anchorena, another Group 1 event at a distance of a 1,600 meters on the turf. He once again tracked the early pace and then moved to the lead with three furlongs to go. He won by eight lengths in a time of 1:31.01, a world record. His dominating performances earned the colt Argentine Champion Miler honors.

2003: in the United States
In January 2003, Candy Ride was purchased for US$900,000 by Americans Sid and Jenny Craig. The couple had previously met with great success with horses bought in Argentina, most notably with Paseana, who won the 1992 Breeders' Cup Distaff and was voted the Eclipse Award as American Champion Older Female Horse for 1992 and 1993. The Craigs sent Candy Ride into training with Hall of FamerRon McAnally.

On June 7, 2003, Candy Ride made his American debut in an allowance race at Hollywood Park over  miles on the dirt. He dueled for the early lead then took the lead turning to home to win by three lengths. His next start was on July 4 as the even money favorite in the Grade II American Handicap at Hollywood Park at a distance of  on the turf. He and Special Ring raced heads apart for most of the race before Candy Ride finally pulled clear in the stretch to win by three-quarters of a length. "The jets got cranked up at the half-mile pole and they just kept cranking," said jockey Gary Stevens. "He gives me a heck of a good feeling."

In what turned out to be his last race, Candy Ride was entered in the Grade I Pacific Classic Stakes at Del Mar over a distance of  miles on the dirt. Medaglia d'Oro, the 3-5 favorite, went to the early lead and set moderate fractions of :23 for the first quarter-mile and :46 for the half. Candy Ride bobbled at the start but soon recovered to settle into second place. He took the lead turning for home and drew off to win by  lengths while setting a track record of 1:59:11. In beating the highly regarded  (2nd), Candy Ride earned a Beyer speed figure of 123, the highest of any horse in the United States in 2003.

After inheriting the ride from an injured Gary Stevens, Julie Krone became the first female jockey to win a million dollar race. She credited Stevens for sharing his knowledge of the colt's idiosyncrasies, and wondered, "How good a horse is he? Wow! That's how good a horse he is. Amazing. He is a rocketship. I still can't believe this is real. Pulling up, I asked the pony rider to pinch me. I asked the clerk of scales if this was really happening."

Because Candy Ride was foaled in Argentina, his breeders had not nominated him for the Breeders' Cup and as such, the Craigs would have been required to pay an $800,000 supplemental fee if they wanted to run their horse in the Breeders' Cup Classic. McNally also noted that the colt's feet were very small and he wanted to remove the horseshoes to allow the feet to spread naturally. With a view to racing in 2004, Candy Ride was given some time off and returned to training in December 2003. However, a variety of issues kept delaying his return to racing, and he was retired to stud in August 2004.

Stud record
Although South America has produced many top quality racehorses, relatively few of them have been successful at stud in North America. As a result, not much was expected of Candy Ride when he entered stud at Hill 'n' Dale in 2005 for a fee of $10,000. However, he proved his doubters wrong early in his career, ranking third on the first-crop American sires list in 2008. He presents breeders with the option to inbreed to Mr. Prospector through the fairly rare branch of Crytpoclearance. He has been particularly successful with mares from the Storm Cat or A.P. Indy lines.

Candy Ride's first crop, foaled in 2006, produced Grade 1 winners Evita Argentina, El Brujo, Capt. Candyman Can and Misremembered. Demonstrating Candy Ride's versatility as a sire, both Evita Argentina and Capt. Candyman were graded stakes winners at age two and went on to earn Grade I wins at age three over sprint distances in the La Brea and King's Bishop respectively. By contrast, Misremembered won the Santa Anita Handicap over 10 furlongs as a four-year-old.

From his 2007 crop, Sidney's Candy won the Santa Anita Derby and also set a track record for  miles on turf at Del Mar. In addition, Twirling Candy became a star on the West Coast in 2010 and 2011, winning multiple Grade I races on turf and dirt. John Sadler, who trained both Sidney's Candy and Twirling Candy, is quoted as saying that Twirling Candy is the best horse he's ever trained. Twirling Candy became the sire of 2021 Preakness Stakes winner Rombauer.

In 2010, Candy Ride was relocated to Lane's End, and has developed into a top 10 sire. Candy Ride's first champion was the ill-fated gelding Shared Belief, who was voted American Champion Two-Year-Old Male Horse in 2013 and won five Grade I stakes from ages 2 to 4.

More recently, Candy Ride has sired Gun Runner, who finished third in the 2016 Kentucky Derby and went on to win the Clark Handicap later that year. In 2017, Gun Runner was the American Horse of the Year after winning the Breeders' Cup Classic, Whitney and Woodward Stakes. Candy Ride finished second on the North American general sire lists in both 2017 and 2018. Gun Runner is the sire of 2022 Preakness winner Early Voting making Candy Ride the grandsire of two consecutive winners of that classic.

Notable progeny
His major stakes winners include:

c = colt, f = filly, g = gelding''

Candy Ride's most notable progeny includes:
 Capt. Candyman Can: In 2008, won Iroquois Stakes (Churchill Downs). In 2009, won King's Bishop Stakes, Hutcheson Stakes, Bay Shore Stakes, Matt Winn Stakes.
 Misremembered: In 2009, won Los Alamitos Derby and Indiana Derby. In 2010, won Santa Anita Handicap.
 Twirling Candy: In 2010, won Malibu Stakes, Del Mar Derby, Oceanside Stakes. In 2011, won Strub Stakes.

Renata Elizaveta Kallosh (; born 1943) is a Russian-American theoretical physicist. She is a professor of physics at Stanford University, working there on supergravity, string theory and inflationary cosmology.

Biography
She completed her Bachelor's from Moscow State University in 1966 and obtained her Ph.D. from Lebedev Physical Institute, Moscow in 1968. She was then a professor at the same institute, before moving to CERN for a year in 1989. Kallosh joined Stanford in 1990 and continues to work there. In 2009 she received the Lise Meitner Award of the Gothenburg University. In 2014 awarded Doctorate Honoris Causa of the University of Groningen. In 2017 she was awarded Lorentz Chair position at the University of Leiden, and became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Kallosh is best known for her contributions to the theory of supergravity – the supersymmetric generalization of Einstein's theory of gravity. She was the first to quantize supergravity, obtaining the full set of Feynman rules including a new, unexpected ghost particle (now called the Nielsen-Kallosh ghost). This paper also gave one of the first applications of BRST symmetry to express the gauge invariances of gravity, and, incidentally, introduced the name "BRST". She also was the first to understand the structure of divergences in quantum theories of supergravity, showing, among other results, that supergravity with N=8 supersymmetry is finite at least up to 8 loops. She is the author of many papers on black hole solutions in supergravity theories. A particularly influential work is the recognition, in collaboration with Sergio Ferrara, that black hole solutions with higher supersymmetry correspond to attractor solutions of analogue mechanical systems.

Kallosh is also known for her contributions to string theory. In particular, she, along with Sandip Trivedi, Andrei Linde, and Shamit Kachru, found the mechanism to stabilize string theory vacua referred to as KKLT mechanism after the authors' last names. This mechanism provided a possible theoretical explanation of the anomalously small value of vacuum energy (cosmological constant), and a description of the present stage of the accelerated expansion of the universe in the context of the theory of inflationary multiverse and string theory landscape.

After the discovery of the KKLT mechanism, her interests shifted towards investigation of cosmological implications of supergravity and string theory. In particular, Renata Kallosh and Andrei Linde, together with their collaborators, developed a theory of cosmological attractors. This is a broad class of versions of inflationary cosmology which provide one of the best fits to the latest observational data.
