After the success of "Straight to the Bank", which was co-produced with Dr. Dre, Fyffe became a recurring producer for several G-Unit projects, such as 2008 T·O·S (Terminate on Sight), 50 Cent's 2009 Before I Self Destruct and 2014 Animal Ambition albums and Tony Yayo's 2011 El Chapo mixtape. In 2010, Fyffe released a mixtape, The Pyrex, hosted by DJ Superstar Jay.

From 2010 to 2020, he produced tracks for Ghostface Killah ("Smooth Sailing", which appeared on Wu-Tang Killa Bees' Pollen: The Swarm Part Three, and its remix version was included in Wu-Massacre), Redman's 2010 Reggie, Styles P's 2011 Master of Ceremonies, Lazee's 2011 mixtape One Way Ticket, Prodigy's 2012 H.N.I.C. 3, Jadakiss's 2015 Top 5 Dead or Alive, and Erick Sermon's 2019 Vernia.

Portugal has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film since 1980. The award is handed out annually by the United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue.

Forty Portuguese films have been submitted to the Academy for consideration for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. As of the 95th Academy Awards, no Portuguese film has been nominated for the award; Portugal currently holds the record of the most submissions without an Oscar nomination. One fifth of Portugal's submissions (8 out of 40) have been directed by the prolific Manoel de Oliveira. The Portuguese animated short film Ice Merchants, by João Gonzalez, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 95th Academy Awards, becoming the first Portuguese film to receive an Oscar nomination.

Submissions
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has invited the film industries of various countries to submit their best film for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1956. The Foreign Language Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films. Following this, they vote via secret ballot to determine the five nominees for the award. Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Portugal for review by the Academy for the award by year and the respective Academy Awards ceremony.

Each year, the Portuguese nominee is selected by a jury selected by the Instituto do Cinema e do Audiovisual (in English, the Portugal Film Commission)., but 2012 was the first year the choice was made by the newly Portuguese Academy of Cinema.

All films were filmed in Portuguese except for 2007's French language Belle Toujours.

In 2003 Portugal submitted A Talking Picture which was filmed in a combination of English, French, Greek, Italian and Portuguese. In 2013 the candidate Lines of Wellington was filmed in a combination of Portuguese, English and French.

Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Cantacuzène, Count Speransky (; 29 April 1875 – 25 March 1955) was a Russian general. The title of Count Speransky has been alternatively spelled "Spiransky" and "Speranski".

Early life
Prince Michael (or Mikhail) was Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Cantacuzène, was born on 29 April 1875 in Poltava, Ukraine, then part of Imperial Russia. He was born at his family's estate which was known as Bouromka, in Poltava. The eldest of four children, he was a son of Prince Mikhail Rodionovich Cantacuzène and Elisabeth Sicard. His two younger brothers were Prince Boris (1876–1905) and Prince Serge (1884-1953) and his younger sister was Princess Daria (1878–1944).

A member of the Cantacuzino family, a Russian branch of which is an offshoot of the Moldavian branch, the titles of Prince of Imperial Russia and of Count Speransky were confirmed to Mikhail's grandfather, Prince Rodion Nikolaevich Cantacuzène, in 1865 by Alexander II. The title had formerly been held by his great-grandfather, Mikhail Speransky, Russian statesman and one-time adviser to Tsar Alexander I. The Prince's father had inherited the Speransky title, unusually and on basis of special remainder, from his own maternal grandmother, Elisabeth Bagréeff-Speransky, who was a daughter of the first Count Speransky. The title of count was confirmed in 1872. The Russian princely titles of the Cantacuzène were inherited via the Romanian line of Cantacuzène, with the service of Michael's great-grandfather Radu, Rodion Matveevich, Cantacuzène, who came from Romania to serve under Catherine the Great. His mother's family were French Huguenot merchants who also emigrated to Russia during the reign of Catherine the Great; her family's wealth included the estate of Bouromka, several apartments in St. Petersburg, a villa in the Crimea, and an apartment in Paris. His mother was exiled to Portuguese East Africa (Mozambique) and was buried in Macequece (now called Villa de Manica).

Mikhail attended Page Corps in St. Petersburg, and later became a graduate of the Imperial Alexandrine Lycée.

Career

His military career formed the basis of his life before and after his diplomatic service, as he served in both the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 to 1905, and on the Polish front during the First World War.

During World War I, Prince Cantacuzène served as aide-de-camp and later Major-General, and finally General, in the service of Tsar Nicholas II, while Princess Cantacuzène remained in St. Petersburg. He served with distinction and was wounded in battle in 1914; as commander of the South Russia Cossacks, in 1915 he led 15,000 men in what has been called the last great cavalry charge against a fortified position in military history.  The family left Russia in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution; in 1917, they escaped from Petrograd with her jewels sewn into her clothing and fled, via Finland, to the United States. The couple moved to Washington, D.C. and attempted to attract support for a counter-revolution in Russia, but after news of the assassination of the Tsar and of his brother, Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia, ended their activism. The couple relocated to Sarasota, Florida, joining the firm founded by her aunt Bertha Palmer.

After his divorce, his former wife's cousins, Honore Palmer and Potter Palmer Jr. (both sons of Bertha Palmer), who remained in Sarasota after Bertha's death, expanded their agricultural and business enterprises, and brought (former Prince) Michael Cantacuzene into the Palmer corporate structure. He managed the  Hyde Park citrus groves, helped organize the Palmer Bank when it opened in 1929, and became Vice President of the bank.

Personal life

Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Cantacuzène had a distant cousin, Prince Grigorii L'vovich Kantakuzen (1843–1902), who was also a diplomat, serving as Russian representative to the U.S. from 1892 to 1895. But in 1893, Prince Mikhail was attached to the Russian embassy in Rome.  In that context, he met Julia Dent Grant, first born grandchild of U.S. President Ulysses Simpson Grant, who was traveling in Europe with her maternal aunt, Bertha Palmer (née Honoré). Aunt and niece travelled throughout Europe to promote interest in the World's Columbian Exposition as well as to collect art. The couple married in the home of her aunt Bertha Palmer in Newport, Rhode Island, on 22 September 1899. Miss Grant assumed her husband's titles and was styled Julia Dent Cantacuzène Spiransky-Grant. Prince and Princess Cantacuzène resided in St. Petersburg (later Petrograd) or at their estate in Ukraine during their early married years, with the Princess giving birth to their three children:

 HH Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Cantacuzène, Count Speransky (b. 1900), who married three times: firstly, to Clarissa Curtis, daughter of Thomas Pelham Curtis and Frances Kellogg Small; secondly, Florence Bushnell Carr; thirdly, Florence Clarke Hall.
 HH Princess Barbara "Bertha" Mikhailovna Cantacuzène, Countess Speransky (b. 1904), who married Bruce Smith. She married, secondly, William Durrell Siebern.
 HH Princess Zinaida Mikhailovna Cantacuzène, Countess Speransky (b. 1908), who married Sir John Coldbrook Hanbury-Williams, son of Major-General Sir John Hanbury-Williams and Annie Emily Reiss.

They divorced on 27 October 1934, after which Mrs. Julia Grant Cantacuzène, having re-established her U.S. citizenship and reverting to non-aristocratic title and style, moved back to her native Washington, D.C. while Prince Cantacuzène remained in Florida. He later married American Jeannette Draper of Sarasota. Prince Mikhail died on 25 March 1955 and was buried at the Manasota Memorial Park in Sarasota.

In Sarasota, he was involved in the American Legion, Elks, Kiwanis Club, County Fair Association, and Sarasota Chamber of Commerce.

Descendants
Through his son Prince Michael, he was a grandfather of one grandson and one granddaughter from his first marriage.

Through his daughter Princess Bertha, he was a grandfather of Bruce Michael Smith (1932–1982).

Through his daughter Princess Zinaida, he was a grandfather of one grandson and two granddaughters.

Philip Henry Muntz (21 January 1811 – 25 December 1888) was a British businessman and Liberal politician. He was a leading figure in the politics of the rapidly growing industrial town of Birmingham in the mid-nineteenth century.

Early life and family
The Muntz family originated in modern Lithuania. Philip Henry was the son of Philip Frederick Muntz, who had moved from France to Birmingham in the late eighteenth century, and established the metal working business of Muntz & Purden. He married his business partner's daughter Catherine and made his residence at Selly Hall, Selly Oak, Worcestershire. Philip Henry was the youngest of the couple's children, born in the same year as his father's death.

Following education at Shrewsbury School, Muntz entered business as a merchant in Birmingham. In 1831 he married Wilhelmine, daughter of J. D'Olhofen, finance minister of the Grand Duchy of Baden. They lived at Edstone Hall, Warwickshire, where they were counted amongst the landed gentry.

Chartism
Together with his elder brother, George Frederic Muntz, Philip was active in Radical politics. In August 1838 they addressed a large Chartist meeting held near Birmingham. The two brothers were selected as part of an eight-person delegation to represent the English Midlands at a "general convention of the industrial classes" in London, which was to present the People's Charter to parliament.

Mayor of Birmingham
In March 1837 Muntz organised a meeting to decide on whether Birmingham should apply for a charter of incorporation under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. The meeting unanimously decided to begin the process of petitioning for a charter, which was granted in October of the following year. Birmingham was duly incorporated as a municipal borough in November 1838, and Muntz was elected as an alderman on the new town council. In 1839 he was elected as the second mayor of the borough, holding the office for two terms. The new town council was dismissed by many Radicals who saw  it as a creation of the rival Whigs. In 1839 riots broke out in the Bull Ring, leading to the government taking over policing in Birmingham and creating a force under the control of the Home Office. The position of the Radicals on the council was undermined by the militant followers of Feargus O'Connor who advocated resisting the "government police" by armed means. When Muntz tried to chair a meeting of ratepayers on the policing situation in November 1839, he was booed and jeered. He remained a member of the town council until 1856.

Railway interests
By the 1840s numerous railways were being promoted to connect the West Midlands conurbation to the rest of the country. In 1845 Muntz formed part of the committee promoting the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, in February 1846 he was appointed auditor of the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway and later in the year he became chairman of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway. He was also a director of the Stratford-on-Avon Railway.

Parliamentary politics
Muntz's brother, George, was Radical member of parliament Parliamentary Borough of Birmingham from 1840 to his death in 1857. In 1859 a general election was called. The election was the first at which a single Liberal Party uniting the Whigs, Radicals and Peelites, stood. Muntz was appointed the chairman of the committee formed to ensure the re-election of the two Liberal MPs, John Bright and William Scholefield, for the two-seat constituency.

Under the Second Reform Act of 1867, Birmingham's parliamentary representation was increased to three MPs. The change came into effect at the next general election in 1868, at a meeting of the Birmingham Liberal Association Muntz was chosen to contest the seat along with the two sitting MPs Bright and George Dixon (who had replaced Scholefield in 1857). The Birmingham Daily Post noted the candidacy was "approved by a large section of the manufacturers on other than political grounds. Mr Muntz, as a manufacturer himself, will represent the industrial interest of the town, which is assuredly of sufficient importance to deserve a guardian in the new Parliament". The Liberal Election Committee instituted a "Vote As You're Told" arrangement, whereby Liberal supporters were directed as to which two of the three Liberal candidates they should cast their two votes for, so successfully manipulating the limited voting system  to elect three Liberal MPs.

In April 1870 Muntz was appointed to the Royal Commission on the Over-Regulation Purchase System. A royal warrant of 1866 had regulated payments paid for promotion and received on retirement from the British Army: the commission was tasked with examining whether payments above these levels were being made and by whom.

Muntz was re-elected on in 1874 and 1880, retiring due to age and ill health before the 1885 general election.

Later life
In October 1888 Birmingham Corporation celebrated the golden jubilee of the town's incorporation. Muntz was granted the freedom of the borough in recognition of his efforts to secure incorporation, and as the only surviving member of the first town council. The resolution was passed unanimously by the town council "for the invaluable privileges he had conferred upon this community through his and others' exertions, and in recognition of his subsequent services in the discharge of the duties of councillor, alderman, mayor, justice of the peace and representative of the borough of Birmingham in Parliament".

Muntz suffered a "paralytic seizure" on 5 December 1888, from which he was slowly recovering when he suffered a second attack on Christmas Eve and died at his home at Leamington Spa, Warwickshire of the morning of Christmas Day. He was buried at Leamington Cemetery on 28 December, and was survived by two sons.

Into the Storm (1997) is Tom Clancy's first book in his study of command series. Clancy traces the organizational success story of the U.S. Army's rise since the Vietnam War.

It is also a partial biography of General Frederick M. Franks, Jr., who is considered to be a military visionary and a distinguished combat commander, famous for having led the Gulf War coalition VII Corps in the highly successful "Left Hook" maneuver against fourteen Iraqi divisions of the Iraqi Republican Guard, forcing a retreat with fewer than 100 American casualties lost to enemy action — a feat unmatched in modern warfare.

The book also describes the transformation of the U.S. Army, traumatized by the Vietnam War, and Franks' devastating loss of a leg in that war. Franks became the first amputee active-duty general since the American Civil War.

The book is mostly written by Tom Clancy with sections where he uses General Franks' own words.

Auchenipterichthys coracoideus, the leguia, is a species of driftwood catfish endemic to Peru where it is found in the upper Amazon River basin.  It grows to a length of .

In the aquarium
A. coracoideus appears in the aquarium hobby, named the zamora woodcat or the midnight catfish. These fish usually do not venture out into light and will prefer to spend the day tightly sheltered in small spaces. It is a robust species that is suitable for community aquaria, but can't be trusted with small fish that it may consume.

is a song recorded by Japanese boy band Arashi. It was released on July 12, 2000, by the record label Pony Canyon. While both the regular and limited editions were released as a CD single containing two songs and its instrumentals, only the limited edition included a poster.

Music video
The music video begins in sepia tone, with the band, wearing leather jackets and assorted greaser wear, sitting in an alley while singing the song. As it reaches its first chorus, they stand up and sing directly to the camera. As the song changes to its faster-paced latter half, the scene transitions to the band, now wearing loose-fitting and colorful casual clothes, performing dance routines in a brightly lit white and blue studio. Intercut are scenes of the band singing in a darker hallway with mirrored walls.

Commercial performance
By selling 256,510 copies, the single debuted at number three on the Oricon weekly singles chart.

Lawrence "Chubby" Woodman was an entrepreneur and restaurant owner who legend has it invented the fried clam. He opened Woodman's of Essex, first as a clam shack, with his wife Bessie on Main Street in Essex, Massachusetts and sold freshly dug steamer clams as well as ice cream and homemade potato chips.

Legend has it that Woodman invented fried clams on July 3, 1916.  According to the company website this happened during a visit from a friend and fisherman, Mr. Tarr of neighboring Gloucester. Chubby took his suggestion to put some clams into the oil used for deep-frying the potato chips. Some modifications were made, such as dipping the clams in evaporated milk and corn flour, and the fried clam was born.

Chubby Woodman's clam related innovations continued with the idea of mobilizing New England clam bake. He used a truck loaded with food, boilers, and wood, and the clambake was done at the customer's preferred location. Woodman's restaurant now sells "clambakes to go," consisting of all the necessary ingredients such as lobster, clams, potatoes, and corn.

Woodmans' legacy and his restaurant's focus on clams was adversely impacted in 2005 by a severe red tide tightening the clam supplies and causing price increases. Woodman's was forced to import clams from Canada.

Family and legacy
Eventually, the family business came into the hands of Chubby’s son, Lawrence Dexter Woodman, commonly referred to as "Deck," and his wife Virginia. After his death in 1987, Deck’s children and grandchildren founded the L. Dexter Woodman Scholarship Fund. The scholarship provides scholarships of $20,000 to two local high school seniors to help them toward college; applicants are judged on character and community service, as well as on academics, extracurricular activities, and need. The scholarship fund hosts two main fundraising events each May, the "Taste of Essex," a tasting event with local food, and "Deck’s Day for Dubbers," a golf tournament.

Reputation
Woodman's reputation is recognized in many travel and restaurant guides, such as Frommer's New England, Frommer's Boston 2006 and Boston 2007, and their Irreverent Guide to Boston. Fodor included the restaurant in their Where to Weekend Around Boston, and the Phantom Gourmet Guide to Boston's Best Restaurants 2008 affirms it has the best fried clams.

Masticatory force or force of mastication is the force created by the dynamic action of the masticatory muscles during the act of chewing.

Masticatory muscles

The muscles that power the jaw movements during chewing are known as the muscles of mastication or masticatory muscles, and are functionally classified as:

 Jaw elevators: the masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid and superior belly of the lateral pterygoid
 Jaw depressors; the anterior digastrics, geniohyoid, mylohyoid and inferior belly of the lateral pterygoid

Measuring masticatory force

The first device for measuring masticatory force (gnathodynamometer) was created by Black in 1893. He determined that periodontal tissue is an important issue, which impacts the amount of force. Morill found out that masticatory muscles stop their contraction differently upon the appearance of pain signals from the periodontal tissue.

Shreder used local anaesthesia to ignore the periodontal response to measure the maximum force of mastication. His research showed that a 21-year-old man without any periodontal pathology who could produce approximately  of force, increased the amount of that force to  following local anaesthesia.

Weber worked out that 1 cm2 surface of perpendicular slide of any masticatory muscle can produce approximately  force. The following surfaces were found

 temporalis – 8 cm2
 masseter – 7.5 cm2
 medial pterygoid – 4 cm2

Thus, the total average surface area of perpendicular masticatory muscles slide is about .

Forces

Nankali studied chewing in multiple individuals. He found variation in the amount of masticatory force.

The masticatory forces changes at eating time according to mouthful characteristic and size. This has various effects on the maxilla and mandible via the teeth. The periodontal system automatically controls the measure of mastication force. The jaw elevator muscles develop the main forces used in mastication.

The force generated during routine mastication of food such as carrots or meat is about . The maximum masticatory force in some people may reach up to .

The study of masticatory force in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis shows that hyposalivation and mucosal alterations can be related to the pathology of masticatory system.

Force distribution

Nankali systematized masticatory force distribution. According to this system, force is divided in two main groups, with physiological or pathological conditions. The physiological masticatory force is divided into three subgroups according to their localizations: anterior, general (covering the entire arch) and posterior part of arch, which is also  divided into two different groups; unilateral and bilateral.

Producing a maximum masticatory force uses the general subgroup of this systematization.

Entomocorus benjamini is a species of driftwood catfish found in the Madeira River system in Bolivia and Brazil.  This species grows to a length of 7.0 cm and can be distinguished from it congeners in that the distal half of dorsal caudal fin lobe and the edge of the ventral lobe is pigmented.

E. benjamini is an invertivore that feeds on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates (primarily insects), zooplankton (including cladocerans, copepods, and rotiferans), and both aquatic and terrestrial vegetation.  A single fish could ingest as many as 1700 planktonic crustaceans in a single night, when this species feeds near the water surface.

Zomby is a British electronic musician who began releasing music in 2007. He has released music on several labels, including Hyperdub, Werk Discs, and 4AD. Zomby's influences include oldschool jungle music and Wiley's eskibeat sound.

Career
Zomby's first major release was the Zomby EP in 2008 on the Hyperdub label. This was followed in the same year by the full-length album, Where Were U in '92?—the title both a reference M.I.A.'s song "XR2" and an homage to the rave scene of the early 1990s. This was reflected by the music which was a mixture of chiptune-inflected UK garage style with the more upbeat, ravey stylings of breakbeat house. Zomby used equipment from the period to record the album, such as the Akai S2000 sampler and Atari ST computer.

In 2009, he released a subsequent collection of tracks, One Foot Ahead of the Other.

In 2011, Zomby signed to 4AD Records, on which he released Dedication, also in 2011. In a four-star review in The Guardian, it was described as "an album of pensive, thought-provoking sadness," drawing comparisons to pianist Keith Jarrett and 1990s techno act Spooky. Later that year, he released the Nothing EP.

In 2013, Zomby released a double album, entitled With Love. On 9 October 2015, Zomby released 'Let's Jam 1 & 2' on XL Recordings.

Zomby's fourth album, Ultra, was released on the Hyperdub label in September 2016. It featured collaborations with Burial, Darkstar, HKE, Banshee and  Rezzett.

Plagiarism controversy
In early 2012, UK producer Reark posted a loop to SoundCloud entitled "Natalia's Song" he claimed to have written in 2007 and that Zomby had plagiarised. Reark later posted a YouTube video demonstrating the track laid out in music making software Reason. Reark had already reported copyright infringement in August 2011 to both 4AD and Zomby, and 4AD responded by co-crediting Reark on the single in late 2011.

Accusations of sexual assault

In February 2018, fellow musician Cult Days accused Zomby of sexual assault Zomby failed to confirm nor deny the claims.

The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is a school of social work, one of the six professional schools within the Case Western Reserve University system, located  in the University Circle in Cleveland, OH.  Established in 1915, it is one of the first schools of social work in the United States to be affiliated with a university.

Mission
The Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences provides and integrates professional social work education, research, and service to promote social justice and empowerment in communities through social work practice locally, nationally, and internationally.

Research centers
The Center for Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) is a technical-assistance organization that promotes knowledge development and the implementation of evidence-based practices for the treatment and recovery of people with severe mental illness and co-occurring severe mental and substance use disorders. The Center also implements and studies emerging best practices in an effort to identify innovations that consistently generate improved outcomes and, thus, may become an EBP.

The Center on Interventions for Children and Families (CICF) is a research and training center that is focused on developing and disseminating evidence based interdisciplinary treatment models that promote the developmental and social emotional well-being of young children by enhancing family and social-environmental supports. These include interventions designed to improve parenting/caregiving skills, promote the stability of families, and enhance the social and community supports of families.

The Center on Substance Abuse and Mental Illness provides education, research, training and consultation in the fields of substance abuse and mental health, with particular emphasis on the co-existence of substance and mental disorders.

The Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development] views the city as both a tool for building communities and producing change locally. The Center's approach to research places high value on being responsive to the research questions and issues that emerge from residents and the community.  Consequently, the Center works closely with policy-makers and advocacy organizations and brings its research into the public-policy discussion. It works with organizations at all levels to raise community capacity, improve service delivery and analyze community needs and assets. The center is a member, along with 33 other members, of the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP), an initiative funded by the Urban Institute.  In accordance with the democratization of knowledge, the Center maintains a publicly available, free, online database (NEO CANDO, available at http://neocando.case.edu) covering a 17-county region, to bring neighborhood information such as Census figures, crime statistics, property information and other demographic details to the people of Northeast Ohio.

The Begun Center is a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary collaboration focused on violence prevention research, development of community-based violence prevention programs, program evaluation, and violence prevention education in the form of conferences, workshops, lectures, and publications. The Begun Center offers services, such as training and technical assistance on strategic planning and management indicators, which improve community-based violence intervention and prevention initiatives.

The Ohio Supported Employment Coordinating Center of Excellence is a technical-assistance organization that helps service systems, organizations, and providers implement and sustain the Supported Employment (SE) model, maintain fidelity to the model, and develop collaborations within local communities that enhance quality of life for consumers of mental health services and their families. SE is an evidence-based practice (EBP) that enables people with severe mental illness to acquire competitive jobs in their local communities. Research demonstrates that SE significantly increases employment rates. The SE CCOE provides these services: service systems consultation; program consultation; clinical consultation; training and education; research and evaluation.

Entomocorus gameroi is a species of driftwood catfish native (possibly endemic) to Venezuela and questionably present in Colombia.  It is found in the Apure River basin.  It grows to a length of 7.0 cm and can be distinguished from its congeners by an oblique band crossing from the dorsal profile of the caudal peduncle to the middle-upper rays of the caudal fin.  E. gameroi is classified as an omnivore with a tendency towards insectivory; it has been found to eat cladocerans, copepods, and water mites, as well as ostracods, insects including coleopterans, dipterans, ephemeropterans, hemipterans, and seeds and other vegetal matter.

During the day, E. gameroi rests motionlessly. This species has been found to hide among the submerged roots of water hyacinth during the day, but may also use alternative sources of shelter such as wood, rocks, and other benthic substrata in hyacinth-free locations.

The reproductive cycle of E. gameroi has been studied, and it is believed that this species is short-lived. Fish of this species reach sexual maturity within a year and perish soon after. Members of a given cohort are never found in the studied lake the next year.

Lynne Rudder Baker (February 14, 1944 – December 24, 2017) was an American philosopher and author. At the time of her death she was a Distinguished Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1944 to Virginia Bennett and James Rudder, she earned her Ph.D. in 1972 from Vanderbilt University after beginning her graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University in 1967. She was a fellow of the National Humanities Center (1983–1984) and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (1988–1989).

She joined the faculty of UMass Amherst in 1989. She is the author of several books, notably Saving Belief: A Critique of Physicalism (1987), Explaining Attitudes: A Practical Approach to the Mind (1995), Persons and Bodies: A Constitution View (2000), and The Metaphysics of Everyday Life: An Essay in Practical Realism (2007).

Along with several other scholars, Baker delivered the 2001 Gifford Lectures in Natural Theology at the University of Glasgow, published as The Nature and Limits of Human Understanding (ed. Anthony Sanford, T & T Clark, 2003). She was a member of the Amherst Grace Episcopal Church. Baker died of heart disease on December 24, 2017, in Amherst, Massachusetts, aged 73.

Views on science and religion
Baker imputes to scientists generally the view that human beings are just another species rather than a special creation of God:
Yet, the sciences are relentless in taking human beings to be just another part of nature: a little more complex than chimpanzees, but not essentially different—certainly not morally and ontologically special. We are just one species among many."

Scott Collegiate is a public high school located in the North Central neighbourhood of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. OPerated by Regina Public Schools, it is named for Walter Scott, the first premier of Saskatchewan. It is an officially designated community school.

Opened in 1924, Scott Collegiate was the second high school to be built in Regina, after Regina Collegiate Institute (later renamed Central Collegiate Institute after the opening of Scott). Scott had the title of being the oldest surviving high school building in the city. In  2017, Scott Collegiate moved into the Mâmawêyatitân Centre (Mâmawêyatitân is a Cree word meaning "lets all be together"), which has since replaced the original building, that was torn down on August 2, 2017.

With the move to the Mâmawêyatitân Centre in 2017, Scott Collegiate's team name was changed from its original "Blues" to the Wolves.

Academically, the school year at Scott is divided into four quarters.

Scott's three main feeder elementary schools are Albert Community School, Kitchener Community School and Seven Stones Community School.

Pathways
Many of the classes at Scott Collegiate are connected with Pathways, such as Tourism and Hospitality and Communications Media.  These pathways often lead to community events, such as "Taste of Scott", which is put on by the Cooking project and involves student-run restaurant booths, with guests voting on their favorite dishes.   Scott Collegiate also has offered a Mental Health and Addictions class, giving students the tools to speak out about mental health and addictions.

In 2014, the Grade 10 Construction project, which combined grade 10 English, Math and Construction credits, led to the construction of an "Angel's Corner" - benches to honor those who are victims of violence.   A plaque on one of the benches reads, "Angels Corner shines a light on the violence and abuse faced by women in our society.  It stands as a reminder of women who have lost their lives to violence, including missing and murdered Aboriginal women, and of the help available to women living with violence and abuse."

In 2018, to encourage community discussion about reconciliation, Scott Collegiate held a special event and screening of the movie Indian Horse. The event, put on by a Grade 11 class, included former NHL player Fred Sasakamoose speaking of his experiences at St. Michael's Indian Residential School at Duck Lake and his hockey career.

Renovations
In March 2009, it was announced that the current Scott Collegiate building would be demolished and replaced with the Mâmawêyatitân Centre (previously referred to as North Central Integrated Facility). Scott re-opened, as part of a schooling system within the facility, in 2017.  The Mâmawêyatitân Centre also houses a Regina Public Library branch, a child care facility, a city recreational complex and a community police station.

Entomocorus radiosus is a species of driftwood catfish endemic to Brazil where it is found in the Rio Paraguay in the Pantanal region of Mato Grosso.  It is the smallest known member of its genus growing to a length of 5.3 cm.  It can be distinguished from its congeners because its anal fin base is longer and has more branched anal fin rays.     E. radiosus is a zooplanktivore which also eats insects; this species predominantly consumes microcrustaceans (cladocerans, copepods, and ostracods), but also fed on insects (ephemeropterans, coleopterans, and hemipterans).

César Láinez Sanjuán (born 10 April 1977) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and is the manager of CD Teruel.

He played 69 La Liga games during six seasons, with Zaragoza and Villarreal.

Club career
A Real Zaragoza youth graduate, Zaragoza-born Láinez made his professional debut with its B-side, but struggled initially to find a first-team place. In January 1999 he served a six-month loan stint at Villarreal CF, playing three La Liga matches as the season ended in relegation.

After his return to Zaragoza, Láinez had to wait until the 2001–02 campaign to become first-choice, but his team would again be relegated. He was instrumental in the Aragonese club's immediate promotion, and subsequently helped it finish in a comfortable 12th place, also conquering the Copa del Rey after an extra time win against Real Madrid.

Láinez spent the entire 2004–05 recovering from knee surgery, and ultimately retired from football in May 2005, at only 28. He subsequently became a sports commentator for local TV channels.

Láinez returned to his lifetime club Zaragoza on 9 October 2014, being appointed manager of the reserves. On 19 March 2017 he replaced Raül Agné at the helm of the first team, who now competed in Segunda División.

On 9 June 2017, after managing to avoid relegation with the main squad, Láinez signed a new three-year contract with the reserve side.

R.U.S.E. is a real-time strategy video game developed by Eugen Systems and published by Ubisoft which was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, in September 2010. The game was subsequently released for macOS through Steam on November 15, 2011. R.U.S.E. is a strategic war game set during World War II and focuses on the invasion of Nazi Germany during late 1944. The campaign includes many historical and some fictional events. It focuses on information warfare instead of a brute-force approach. Players can use a series of ruses and decoys to trick their enemies and change the outcome of the battles. However, the outcome of the battles in the game also relies quite heavily on how a player manages their economy and which units they use. In December 2015, Ubisoft pulled the game from Steam due to the expiration of the military license. In 2018, the Xbox 360 version was released on Xbox One via backwards compatible release.

Gameplay

Units
Units in R.U.S.E are commanded using the mouse and can defend themselves against enemies provided they have the right weapon to counter them and within the range of fire. When units are ordered to attack, a crosshair indicates their rate of success in eliminating the target. It can either be: very easy, easy, balanced, danger or high danger. The latter meant that the target is highly dangerous and the unit(s) may refuse to engage when ordered to do so. Critically injured units will pull back with a (!) on top of the unit. Units that are unable to engage contact will pull back automatically when threatened. Sometimes a unit may be unable to pull back because it is experiencing shock or stress. Damaged units recover themselves when not engaged. Some units in R.U.S.E can be upgraded to enhance their defence and weapon. Some units require an upgrade cost to allow production.

Aircraft
The player who controls the sky can control the battle. Aircraft are fast and can travel all over the map without being affected by any type of terrain. They are produced from the airfield. Aircraft carry limited ammo and must land in order to reload before they can strike again. Aircraft include reconnaissance, fighters, fighter-bombers and bombers. Paratroopers are infantry that can be deployed by air. Paratroopers have no defense ability during flight. Some air-reconnaissance can defend themselves with a light machine gun, but will not be able to fight off most aircraft that attack it.

Buildings
There are two primary types of buildings in R.U.S.E.: defense structures and production buildings. Defense structures can be used to defend against enemy units. Each faction has a set of unique structures which can defend against certain types of units. These buildings cannot be captured. Production buildings produce units or supplies, and consist of the Headquarters, Secondary Headquarters, Administrative Building, Supply Depot, Barracks, Armor Base, Artillery & Anti-Air Base, Anti-Tank Base, Prototype Base, and Airfield. These building produce units and upgrades for those units based on what faction you are playing as. Units will vary on cost, armor, and firepower based on the faction that you choose.

Factions
In the campaign the United States is the only playable faction (although units from other factions are placed under the player's control in several missions), but other factions are present in the game and can be played on- and offline in battle mode. The factions include the United Kingdom, United States, Nazi Germany, Kingdom of Italy, Free French Forces, the Soviet Union, and Japan. Each possesses a unique balance of strengths and weaknesses, which allows for more dynamic gameplay.

For example, the US relies on fast units and air power, while the Germans rely on powerful, heavy tanks (such as the Tiger and King Tiger).
The new faction, Japan, is quite different from most other nations. For example, it is the only nation to not have concealable anti-air guns. Its tanks are comparable to the Italian line, where a 'medium' tank is a light tank to all other factions. It has advanced artillery, but, unlike all other nations (US, Germany, USSR), the HA-TO does not have the 2.4 km range and fires like an assault gun (one 300 mm 170 kg shell at a time). Besides nuclear weaponry, it is the most powerful artillery gun in the game, with two shots generally being enough to destroy most buildings.

Ruses
R.U.S.E. employs a system of ruses that allow the player to fool or bluff an opponent. The ruses are divided into four different categories: those that reveal information (such as Decryption), those that hide information (such as Radio Silence), those that allow for fake structures/units, designed to trick the enemy (such as Decoy Offensive), and those that alter unit behavior (such as Blitz or Terror).

Multiplayer
R.U.S.E. features an online multiplayer component and allows for dedicated servers. It contains both cooperative and competitive multiplayer, and it provides for ranked matches.

On September 22, 2010, Ubisoft announced that measures were being taken to reduce cheating in the game, with the introduction of the Valve Anti-Cheat system (VAC) in the next patch.

Operations
In addition to the main story mode, the player can take part in several "Operations". These are similar to story-mode missions which use specific conditions not present in the other non-story mode section "Battles", for example, limiting the number of aircraft, tanks, etc. a player can deploy. Some of the operations are historically inspired, whereas others are speculative, for example a 1948 border conflict between the US and USSR over Berlin.

Plot

R.U.S.E. takes place during World War II. The game contains a single story arc, portrayed through the perspective of Joseph Sheridan of the United States Army. Sheridan, a Harvard dropout, joins the U.S. Army and eventually assumes control of the First Armored Division. The game opens in 1945 as General Sheridan liberates Colditz Castle to free an undercover operative, code named Nightingale, who knows the identity of an Axis informer, code-named Prometheus. Sheridan then reminisces to 1943 when he was a major during the Allied North African campaign, when leaked information led to devastating Allied losses at the Battle of Kasserine. Sheridan meets British intelligence officer Colonel Andrew Campbell, and working together, in spite of Sheridan's inept commanding officer General Weatherby, they are able to turn the tide of battle. Sheridan is promoted to lieutenant colonel for his efforts.

In 1943, Sheridan takes part in the Battle of Monte Cassino, and while he disobeys Weatherby's direct orders to confuse German intelligence, Sheridan is able to push the Germans back and open up the road to Rome. Sheridan is promoted to general and meets Kate Garner, an attaché from the American War Office. At a victory party, Campbell remarks that the Germans are not fully defeated yet and that Sheridan is turning into Weatherby now that he has been promoted.

In 1944, Sheridan is in command of US troops landing at Utah beach on D-Day, with Weatherby in command of Omaha beach. Sheridan is able to secure a beach head and defend it against counter-attacks despite Weatherby's inability to secure Sheridan's flank. The operation in Normandy is hampered by inaccurate information given to Campbell by the French resistance; this, along with remarks from Garner, strains Sheridan and Campbell's friendship.

Later that year, Sheridan is placed in command of forces in Operation Market Garden, and Weatherby is discreetly placed in command of forces "in reserve". After an exchange between Campbell and Garner, Campbell remarks that he cannot offer the same "incentives" as Garner and states that he will request a transfer. Despite Garner's insistence that Sheridan has "outgrown" Campbell, Sheridan is still clearly bothered by the British Officer's departure.

Despite deeply inaccurate information on Axis forces in the area, Sheridan is able to keep "The Highway to Hell" open. However the British forces at the final bridge to be secured are forced to surrender, thus ending Market Garden as a failure. Garner leaves for Washington D.C. for a new "promotion" leaving Sheridan feeling sorry for himself.

Three months later Sheridan and Campbell meet on the Belgian front, and the two make amends, with Sheridan apologizing and telling Campbell that "he was right and that they should have listened to Campbell". With Campbell's help Sheridan manages to hold onto the key city of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge despite Weatherby surrendering his forces. During the siege, General von Richter, a German general who gave Sheridan much trouble in the past, personally requests Sheridan surrender. He reveals that the Germans have received orders not to take prisoners of war any more, but despite this, offers to guarantee the safety of Sheridan and his men if they surrender honorably. Sheridan refuses, only demanding to know how an honorable man like von Richter could serve the Axis. After pushing back the German offensive Sheridan and Campbell interrogate General Von Richter upon capturing him. Learning that only the head of the German Intelligence Service, the Abwehr, Admiral Canaris, knew the identity of the spy Prometheus, but the Admiral had been arrested for plotting to kill Hitler.

Returning to the present, Sheridan, Campbell and the undercover agent, Angie, head for Torgau on the Elbe to supposedly meet up with the Soviets. However, the meeting turns into a race to reach the secret weapons research facility in Torgau before the Russians do. In order to avoid a "diplomatic incident", Sheridan receives help from an unlikely ally: General Von Richter, who also does not want the weapons to end up in Soviet hands. Under the cover of Von Richter's German troops, Sheridan and his men reach the weapons facility in the Soviet zone and destroy it. In the process Sheridan learns Prometheus is his former attaché Kate Garner. It is revealed that Garner had not only been giving intel to the Germans on the American forces but that she also had been giving intel to the Soviets on German weapon research. The weapons in question are long range V-2 rockets equipped with nuclear warheads. Despite having destroyed the research facility Sheridan learns that Garner had already moved several rockets to another location.

Sheridan and Campbell prepare to attack Garner's base and destroy the weapons, but are forced to re-think their strategy when Sheridan receives a warning from Garner that she will use the V-2 rockets if they continue to provoke her. Sheridan assures Garner that he won't back off, and Garner simply responds that Sheridan will be "rolled over by the modern world" as communism will be inevitably victorious. Good news arrives when the Soviet Government declares the 8th Guards Army (the branch of the Soviet military Garner was working with) is an extremist renegade faction and Allied Commander General Eisenhower orders a full-scale assault on Garner's base. With the help of some newly developed nuclear equipped artillery, Sheridan manages to destroy Garner's base, destroying the German nuclear warheads and killing Garner in an atomic blast. At the end, Sheridan expresses his wish to take a vacation and see Europe "without the bullets".

Development
The game supports multitouch screens and PlayStation Move. It is powered by the IRISZOOM engine developed by Eugen Systems to enable the seamless zooming from aerial view to detailed maps. R.U.S.E. was originally going to use Ubisoft's permanent Internet connection DRM, but this was removed in favor of Steamworks. R.U.S.E. is AMD Eyefinity validated.

In December 2015, R.U.S.E. was pulled from Steam due to a military licensing issue which was revealed on March 31, 2016. According to Ubisoft, they stated the reason that "Due to the expiration of licensing rights over certain military items within the game, R.U.S.E. is no longer available for purchase". Players that have already bought the game aren't affected by this.

Reception

R.U.S.E. received "generally favorable reviews" on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, where the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions were ported for release on October 21, 2010, Famitsu gave both console versions each a score of 29 out of 40, while Famitsu Xbox 360 gave the latter console version a score of one seven, one eight, one seven, and one eight for a total of 30 out of 40.
