Brymore Academy (formerly Brymore School) is a boys' secondary school with academy status, located in Cannington, Bridgwater, Somerset, England. It is a day and boarding school for pupils aged 11 to 17 years and had 192 boys on the roll in 2015, 115 of them boarders. It was established in 1951 by Somerset County Council at a cost of £6,000 as a Secondary Technical School of Agriculture.

The school has a farm, walled garden, greenhouses and workshops including a foundry and forge. The farm includes a dairy herd, beef animals, sows, poultry and a flock of ewes with lambs.

Brymore offers extra-curricular activities including beekeeping, canoeing and cycling. The school is expanding to take in Year 7s. The school will continue to enter boys in Year 9, provided there are sufficient places available.

The main school building incorporates parts of a medieval house which was owned by John Pym who, during the English Civil War played a role in bringing about the downfall of Charles I. In World War II girls of Malvern College were evacuated to Brymore. In 1943 the 535th Automatic Weapons battalion of the United States Army was billeted in the house and grounds while they prepared for D-Day. The building is designated as a Grade II listed building. The boarding houses included the Grade I listed Cannington Court.

The buildings and grounds of Brymore Academy are used annually during the summer break for 3 "Venture" camps called Brymore 1, 2, and 3.

German submarine U-506 was a Type IXC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. The submarine was laid down on 11 July 1940 at the Deutsche Werft yard in Hamburg as yard number 296, launched on 20 June 1941 and commissioned on 15 September 1941 under the command of Kapitänleutnant Erich Würdemann.

After completing her training with the 4th U-boat Flotilla based at Stettin, U-506 was transferred to the 10th U-boat Flotilla for front-line service on 1 February 1942. She sank 14 ships, three were classified as 'damaged' another vessel was declared a 'total loss'. The submarine's missions, particularly the sinking of the merchant ship Heredia and later involvement in the so-called Laconia Incident is chronicled in the 2016 book So Close to Home.

She was sunk in the Atlantic on 12 July 1943 by depth charges dropped by a US B-24 Liberator.

Design
German Type IXC submarines were slightly larger than the original Type IXBs. U-506 had a displacement of  when at the surface and  while submerged. The U-boat had a total length of , a pressure hull length of , a beam of , a height of , and a draught of . The submarine was powered by two MAN M 9 V 40/46 supercharged four-stroke, nine-cylinder diesel engines producing a total of  for use while surfaced, two Siemens-Schuckert 2 GU 345/34 double-acting electric motors producing a total of  for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two  propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to .

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of  and a maximum submerged speed of . When submerged, the boat could operate for  at ; when surfaced, she could travel  at . U-506 was fitted with six  torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and two at the stern), 22 torpedoes, one  SK C/32 naval gun, 180 rounds, and a  SK C/30 as well as a  C/30 anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of forty-eight.

Service history

First patrol
U-506 first departed Hamburg on 2 March 1942 and sailed to Heligoland, leaving there on 9 March for her first patrol, which took her around the British Isles to Lorient in occupied France via the gap between the Shetland and Faeroe Islands, by 25 March.

Second patrol
The U-boat sailed from Lorient on 6 April 1942, crossed the Atlantic, and entered the Gulf of Mexico to operate off the Mississippi River Delta against the crucial oil trade. En route she sank a Nicaraguan merchant ship off the southern tip of Florida. Between 10 and 20 May she sank three American oil tankers and a banana boat, and damaged four other oil tankers, one so badly it was declared a total loss. On the return journey she sank two British merchant ships off the Bahamas, eventually returning to Lorient on 15 June.

Third patrol
U-506 sailed from Lorient once again on 28 July 1942 and headed south to the coast of West Africa, operating against ships sailing from Freetown, Sierra Leone. There she sank five more merchant ships, four British, one Swedish. On the return journey the U-boat took part in the rescue operations after the sinking of the RMS Laconia, before returning to Lorient on 7 November after 103 days at sea.

Fourth patrol
The U-boat sailed from Lorient on 14 December 1942 and again headed south, this time to the coast of South Africa, where she sank two merchant ships, one British, the other Norwegian, before returning to base on 8 May. She was away even longer than on her third patrol-146 days.

Fifth patrol
U-506s final voyage began on 6 July 1943. On 12 July the U-boat was attacked by a USAAF B-24 Liberator bomber of the 1st Anti-Submarine Squadron in the North Atlantic west of Vigo, Spain, in position . The U-boat was located by the aircraft's SC137 10 cm radar, which the Germans could not detect, and was attacked with seven depth charges. The U-boat broke in two, and about 15 men were seen in the water by the pilot, who dropped a liferaft and a smoke flare. Only six men were rescued by a British destroyer three days later.

Jacalin is a plant-based lectin, but not a legume lectin, found in jackfruit.  It has been studied for capturing O-glycoproteins such as mucins and IgA1, for potential applications in human immunology.

Jacalin belongs to a family of galactose-binding lectins containing the Jacalin-like lectin domain and it has a tetrameric two-chain structure with a weight of 66 kDa

Jacalin is preferably used in applications to isolate IgA from human serum, isolating human plasma glycoproteins and for applications in histochemistry. The lectin is blood group non-specific after neuraminidase treatment and agglutinates human erythrocytes at a concentration of ≥ 7,8 µg/ml.

A post-translational proteolytic modification of Jacalin gives the lectin a novel carbohydrate-binding site involving the N-terminus of the a-chain. The relative affinities of the lectin for galactose derivatives, as well as the structural basis of its T-antigen specificity, are explained by its protein structure

River channel migration is the geomorphological process that involves the lateral migration of an alluvial river channel across its floodplain. This process is mainly driven by the combination of bank erosion of and point bar deposition over time. When referring to river channel migration, it is typically in reference to meandering streams. In braided streams, channel change is driven by sediment transport.

It has been proposed that lateral migration is a particularly dominant erosive process in savanna landscapes.

Physical processes

Bank erosion
As flow enters the bank of an alluvial river, the centrifugal force created by the bend instigates helicoidal flow, a corkscrew like pattern of flow, which drives the hydraulic action acting on the opposing bank. This is where the primary process in river channel migration of bank erosion occurs. Often the bank is undercut, another result of the helicoidal flow, which leads to the creation of cut banks. Factors that limit the rate of bank erosion include the rate of deposition of the point bar, stream power, and the critical shear stress of the stream bed.

Point bar deposition
The sediment taken from the bank during the process of bank erosion is deposited on the opposing side of the channel fueling the process called point bar deposition. The helicoidal flow also plays a role in this process by acting as a cross channel component that moves the sediment to the other side. The processes of point bar deposition and bank erosion are intertwined and in most cases the erosion rate of cut banks is equal to the deposition rate of point bars. In addition, point bars act as topographic obstructions once formed that further drive flow into the opposite bank, creating a positive feedback loop. This leads to the meanders of an alluvial river becoming more well defined over time.

Characteristic features
Typical features found in river channel migration are point bars, cut banks, meanders, floodplains, and oxbow lakes.

Measurement and modeling
Techniques used for measuring river channel migration vary among different time scales. Over long time scales, sedimentological evidence, botanical evidence, and historical sources are utilized. Over intermediate time scales, planimetric resurveying and repeated cross profiting are utilized. Over short time scales, terrestrial photogrammetry and erosion pins are utilized.

In order to model river channel migrations over time, orthogonal functions of erosion path lines can be generated for individual point bar complexes. The orthogonal functions can be used to directly indicate the paths that channels could take in lateral migrations. The modeling of meander patterns can be useful in a variety of physical applications.

German submarine U-77 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine built by the Bremer Vulkan-Vegesacker Werft, Bremen-Vegesack. Her keel was laid down on 28 March 1940, by Bremer Vulkan of Bremen-Vegesack, Germany as yard number 5. She was launched on 23 November 1940 and commissioned on 18 January 1941, with Oberleutnant zur See Heinrich Schonder in command until 2 September 1942, when he was succeeded by Oblt.z.S. Otto Hartmann, who remained in charge until the U-boat's loss.

The boat was scuttled on 29 March 1943 off Calpe, Spain, after receiving heavy damage by two British aircraft.

Design
German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-77 had a displacement of  when at the surface and  while submerged. She had a total length of , a pressure hull length of , a beam of , a height of , and a draught of . The submarine was powered by two MAN M 6 V 40/46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of  for use while surfaced, two Brown, Boveri & Cie GG UB 720/8 double-acting electric motors producing a total of  for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two  propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to .

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of  and a maximum submerged speed of . When submerged, the boat could operate for  at ; when surfaced, she could travel  at . U-77 was fitted with five  torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one  SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and a  C/30 anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty.

Service history
U-77 conducted 11 patrols, sinking 15 ships totalling  and 1,050 tons, damaging two others, totalling . She also damaged two warships totalling 2,880 tons and caused two ship of  to be declared a total loss. She was a member of six wolfpacks.

First patrol
U-77 departed Kiel on 29 May 1941. Her route took in the gap between Iceland and the Faroe Islands.

She sank the Tresillian on 13 June southeast of Cape Race ( Newfoundland ). Using her deck gun, she fired 87 rounds, scoring 60-65 hits; but it needed a torpedo to administer the coup de grâce. She then sank the Arakaka, a weather ship, on the 22nd,  east of St. Johns. There were no survivors. It was a similar story with the Anna Bulgaris south of Cape Farewell, (Greenland).

U-77 docked in St. Nazaire in occupied France on 7 July.

Second and third patrols
The boat's second foray began with her departure from St. Nazaire on 2 August 1941, but despite covering large tracts of the Atlantic, she returned to the French base on 10 September empty-handed.

For her third sortie, U-77 once more found the cupboard bare west of Ireland and the Bay of Biscay. Nothing.

Fourth patrol
U-77s next patrol was divided into two. Part one was into the Mediterranean. Leaving St. Nazaire on 10 December 1941, she slipped past the heavily defended Strait of Gibraltar and entered Messina in northeast Sicily on the 19th.

On the way, she sank   from Cape Trafalgar [before the Gibraltar experience], on the 15th.

Part two involved the boat's attack on the British destroyer  off Tobruk on 12 January 1942. The warship's stern was blown off, but she was towed to Alexandria for temporary repairs before more permanent restoration was carried out in Bombay. The ship returned to service in January 1944.

The submarine docked at Salamis in Greece on 14 January.

Fifth patrol
Late on 1 April 1942, U-77 was attacked by a Fairey Swordfish of No. 815 Squadron FAA, north-by-northeast of Sidi Barrani. The damage inflicted meant the boat was unable to dive. She returned to Salamis on the third.

Sixth patrol
Having moved to La Spezia in northwest Italy in April, U-77 departed the port for the initial portion of a two-part patrol on 6 June 1942. She sank the destroyer  north of Sollum on the 12th. This was during Operation Vigorous, [a supply convoy to Malta].

The U-boat was unsuccessfully attacked by , a British T-class submarine, off what today is the Israeli coast on 4 July. (Note: there is some confusion over this incident as the U-boat's own page on 'uboat.net' also puts her further west on that day and does not mention an attack).

U-77 finished the patrol in Salamis on 9 July.

Seventh and eighth patrols
Departing Salamis on 16 July 1942, her only victory was the Greek sailing ship Vassilliki, which she sank with 10 rounds from the deck gun east of Cyprus on the 22nd.

In late August, the boat briefly moved to Pola (or Pula) in Croatia at the 'top' of the Adriatic, from where she sortied on 12 October 1942 before steaming to La Spezia once more on 1 November.

Ninth patrol
U-77 torpedoed the sloop  on 12 November 1942 but was attacked by the corvettes  and  the following day northeast of Algiers. The slightly damaged U-boat returned to La Spezia on 5 December.

Tenth patrol
U-77 sank two more ships - the Empire Banner and the Empire Webster, both on 7 February 1943 west of Algiers. She had departed La Spezia on 26 January and returned there on 10 February.

11th patrol and loss

The boat departed La Spezia for the last time on 3 March 1943.
On 28 March, U-77 was attacked by two British Lockheed Hudsons, V of No. 48 and L of No. 233 Squadron RAF, based in Gibraltar, which dropped depth charges, and heavily damaged U-77. At 01:15 the following day, 29 March, Hartmann ordered his crew off the boat, and scuttled it in position  east of Cartagena/Cape de Palos. Of the 47 crew members, nine survived the night and were picked up by Spanish fishing boats.

Wolfpacks
U-77 took part in six wolfpacks, namely:
 West (6 – 20 June 1941)
 Grönland (10 – 23 August 1941)
 Kurfürst (23 August – 2 September 1941)
 Seewolf (2 – 7 September 1941)
 Reissewolf (21 – 31 October 1941)
 Störtebecker (15 November – 2 December 1941)

Plot
Sundaram is a talented but very lazy tailor who believes that good fortune and luck alone will make him a rich and successful person. He is the only tailor in the whole village. Even though Sitaramudu, the assistant of Sundaram and Battala Satyam, the cloth vendor, keep urging him to work, he never listens to them. One day a Koyadora tells Sundaram that he will become a rich person if he marries a woman with a mole on her right thigh. In the process of discovering this woman, he flirts with many in the village and promises all of them that he would marry them.

The rest of the story revolves around how he deals with each lady with his talent and deceit. In the end, everyone discovers the truth and Sundaram is made to realize that in his foolish quest to find the lady with the mole, he has cheated and hurt many people. He then tries to atone for his crimes by first apologizing to all the women he cheated and then by marrying the one who truly loved him. His assistant Sitaramudu ends up marrying the girl with the mole.

The Rheinmetall Oerlikon Millennium Gun or Rheinmetall GDM-008 is a close-in weapon system designed by Rheinmetall Air Defence AG (formerly known as Oerlikon Contraves) for mounting on ships. It is based on the 35/1000 revolver gun land-based air defense system and uses Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction (AHEAD) ammunition.

Description
A device at the muzzle end of the barrel measures the exact speed of each round as it is fired, and automatically sets the fuse to detonate the round as it approaches a pre-set distance from the target. Each round disperses 152 small tungsten projectiles weighing  each to form a lethal cone-shaped cloud to strike the incoming target. Whilst these are too small to do major damage in themselves, the accumulation of damage from multiple strikes is expected to destroy wings and control surfaces, sensors and aerodynamics, causing the target to crash. Other firing modes are designed to be effective against surface targets such as small fast attack boats.

The weapon is designed to be controlled by an external fire-control system using either radar or electro-optical trackers. It is fitted with an optional onboard observation TV camera which relays imagery to an operator console from which it can also be aimed and fired in an emergency mode. The computer system uses an open architecture and is claimed to be compatible with many existing fire control systems.

The gun's ammunition capacity allows it to engage 10 anti-ship missiles or 20 surface targets.

Jaroslav Ježek (26 January 1923 – 2002) was a Czech industrial designer. He was one of the founders of the Brussels style, an important development in Czech design in 1950s and 60s. Ježek created 52 complete porcelain sets and more than one hundred designs for porcelain sculptures.

Biography
Jaroslav Ježek, nephew of the Czech composer Jaroslav Ježek, was born in 1923 in Podlesí near Příbram. Between 1945 and 1949 he studied Art Education under Professor Sejpka, Cyril Bouda and Karel Lidický at Charles University in Prague but on the recommendation of Professor Eckert, of the Atelier of Porcelain and Ceramics (a department of the Prague Academy of Performing Arts) he decided to concentrate instead on industrial production. Ježek left Charles University for a scholarship place in the art department of the Thun porcelain manufactory in Klášterec nad Ohří, and remained there until 1954. In 1955 he was recruited by the new state-run industrial porcelain development center at Lesov, near Karlovy Vary.

In 1957 Ježek was invited to create designs for the Expo '58 in Brussels. His porcelain set Elka was exhibited there, and was awarded the Expo Grand Prix for Ceramics. Ježek also designed the porcelain set  Asmanit for the Brussels' Expo restaurant. He was one of the leading exponents for the "Brussels style", which was characterised by the use of organic shapes, diagonal elements and surfaces marked by pastel shadows of yellow, purple, green, azure and gray. It later became a signature design style in many Czech households. Other exponents of the "Brussels style" applied it to synthetic materials such as plastics, laminates and Formica.

The success of Elka inspired Ježek to create similar extravagant sets of porcelain tableware. In 1959 his Ex, Manon and Tria designs were approved for production as luxury giftware, and his simpler Orava and Ciráno porcelain sets for everyday use. Other sets - Blanka and Hanka - were produced in 1960 and 1961, in Dalovice and Loket. In the 1960s, Ježek drew upon historical styles of the Baroque and the early 19th century, but also developed his own extravagant designs, with sets like Kleopatra and Giovanna (influenced by Elka), and original designs such as Ryby (Fishes). His works were influenced also by modern painting, and in addition to his designer tasks he was also an active painter. Ježek remained in the Lesov development center up to his retirement.

He died in 2002, in Karlovy Vary.

The Syria national Under-17 football team is the national football youth team of Syria and is controlled by the Syrian Football Association.

History
The first official appearance of a Syrian U-17 choice was in the AFC U-17 Championship 2002 Qualification.
In Group Two of the qualification, Syria beat Saudi Arabia 1-0 on aggregate, the only goal coming in the second leg in Syria, and so qualified for the finals at the first attempt.

In the AFC U-17 Championship 2002, Syria beat Qatar in the first match of the group stage, then followed a draw against Uzbekistan and a defeat against Japan before falling to a 2-1 defeat against Yemen in the quarter-finals.

Three years later, Syria qualified for the AFC U-17 Championship 2006 in Singapore. Despite being beaten 1-0 by China in their opening game, the Syrian team advanced to the second round with a 7-0 win over Bangladesh and a 2-0 victory against Vietnam. Syria reached the quarter-finals and won 2-1 against Saudi Arabia, but lost 2-0 in the semi-finals against eventual champions Japan. Despite losing the third place playoff against Tajikistan in a penalty shootout, they qualified for the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea.

In Thailand 2014, Syria was among the four semi-finalists who qualified for Chile 2015.

James Mackenzie Maclean (13 August 1835 – 22 April 1906) was a British journalist and Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1885 and 1900.

History
Maclean was  the youngest son of Alexander Maclean, of Liberton, Edinburgh and his wife Mary Baigrie, daughter of Mackenzie Baigrie.  He went to India where he was a journalist. There, he owned and edited the Bombay Gazette. He was Chairman of the Bombay Town Council and was elected a Fellow of Bombay University. Maclean wrote a Guide to Bombay, in 1875 and various essays about India.

Maclean returned to Britain and stood unsuccessfully for Parliament at Elgin Burghs in 1880. In 1881 he was living at Malabar Villa Chiswick. He became a member of the Royal Society of Arts 1881, and served on its Council from 1883 to 1886. He was active in the Society's Indian section and was awarded two silver medals for papers given to the Society. He also contributed to The Leader and was a proprietor of the Western Mail.

Maclean was elected as Member of Parliament for Oldham in 1885 until 1892. He was elected as Member of Parliament for Cardiff in 1895 until 1900.

Sir Richard Temple wrote "Maclean is undoubtedly a strong man who would have to be reckoned with...No man gives a greater impression of possessing reserve power. He is a man of Imperialistic mind, takes a very British view of everything in Foreign, Eastern, of Colonial affairs, and is much opposed to the Indian Congress and the advanced views of Young India... He has a tall, imposing figure, a handsome head and face and a fine voice." Sir George Birdwood wrote of Maclean in the Society of Arts Journal for 1901, that he was "the ablest publicist we ever had in India".

Mackenzie married Anna Maria Whitehead, daughter of Phillip Whitehead in 1867. Maclean died in 1906 and was buried at Old Chiswick Cemetery in London.

Gabrielle LeDoux (born March 24, 1948) is an American politician and a former member of the Republican Party of the Alaska House of Representatives. She lives in Anchorage, Alaska. LeDoux is a former maritime attorney, having practiced law in Kodiak and Anchorage.

In March 2020, it was announced she has been charged with voter misconduct and unlawful interference with voting after an investigation by the FBI and the Alaska State Troopers.

Education and family
LeDoux went to La Mirada High School in La Mirada, California. She is a graduate of the University of California Berkeley (B.A. 1970) and the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (J.D. 1973). She also attended the University of Southern California (1966–1968). LeDoux moved to Alaska in 1978, first living in Anchorage before moving to Kodiak in 1980. LeDoux's husband (Kurt) and youngest son (Daniel) died in a car accident in 1992. She has two other children, Matthew and Sheree, and two grandchildren, Cuauhtemoc and Bjorn.

Political career
LeDoux ran for State House as a Democrat in Kodiak in 2000, losing in the general election to Gary Stevens by a 44 percent to 55 percent margin. LeDoux served as mayor of the Kodiak Island Borough March 2001 through October 2004. LeDoux was then elected to the Alaska House of Representatives in 2004. Taking office in January 2005, she served two terms in the Alaska State Legislature, through January 2009 and was a recipient of the Toll Fellowship in 2006. While in the legislature LeDoux served as co-chair of both the Fisheries and the Community and Regional Affairs Committees. She was also a member of the Labor and Commerce, and Resources committees.

In October 2007, LeDoux announced her candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in Alaska's At-large congressional district in 2008, challenging 18-term congressman Don Young and Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell. LeDoux was dubbed a spoiler and placed a distant third in the primary, garnering less than 10 percent of the vote. The only part of the state she carried was her former legislative district, by a plurality. Ledoux said in July 2009 that she would not run again in 2010 if Young sought re-election.

After her second term in the house ended in January 2009, LeDoux moved to east Anchorage from Kodiak Island in 2009, and ran for State House in her new district in the 2010 elections. She lost to Pete Petersen in the general election by 5 percent (47 percent to 52 percent). In 2012, LeDoux's presumptive Democratic opponent withdrew after winning an uncontested primary, and was replaced by Kay Rollison. LeDoux beat Rollison in the general election. She defeated retired colonel Laurie Hummel to represent District 15 (East Anchorage) in 2014 (52 percent to 47 percent). LeDoux is her own single largest campaign contributor, by a factor of more than 10 times.

After being elected in 2016 to her 5th non-consecutive term in the state house, LeDoux joined a majority coalition of Democrats, Independents and two other Republicans, with an avowed goal of ameliorating the state's budget deficit, the latter a product of declining oil revenues, budgeting, and prior taxation restructuring. LeDoux was chosen to chair the house Rules Committee. Alaska state Republican Party chair, Tuckerman Babcock, informed LeDoux by letter that the party will recruit and support a primary opponent against her in 2018. After joining the majority coalition in 2016, LeDoux expressed confidence that she would be representing the needs of her constituents saying "We're hired to do a job, and the purpose of our job is not to keep our job. It's to actually do something.".

Voter fraud accusations
In 2018, she first won the Republican primary with 57% of the votes against Aaron Weaver and then the general election with 42% of the votes against democrat Lyn Franks (35%) and write-in candidate Jake Sloan (24%).

In March 2020, the Alaska Department of Law accused LeDoux of Election Misconduct after a two-year investigation which included the FBI.

Political views and accomplishments

Families and children
LeDoux is known for her sponsorship and passage of the 2008 "Safe Haven" Bill which allows parents to surrender newborns without prosecution. In 2018, she wrote and sponsored family court legislation establishing a rebuttable presumption favoring equal time shared parenting as being in the best interest of the child after divorce, unless there is child abuse or neglect.

Public safety
For the 2019 legislative session, LeDoux is one of several sponsors of a bill to enact mandatory jail time for car theft. She has commented that by changing the law to strengthen penalties we will send a clear message that this kind of lawless behavior will not be tolerated.

'Metaform' (born Justice Aaron) is an American music producer, musician, and songwriter with numerous LP and EP releases.  He is considered to be a prominent figure in the development of instrumental Hip-Hop and Trance. He first gained acclaim in 2008 with the release of his debut album Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, which was created entirely from old vinyl samples.

Biography

Metaform grew up in Los Angeles in a musical household. His Dad was an avid listener of Leonard Cohen, Simon & Garfunkel, and Ravi Shankar records, while his Mom listened to Whitney Houston and Curtis Mayfield. Metaform's parents divorced in 1988 and soon after, he moved to San Francisco with his mother and three sisters. He spent the year of 1998 as an intern at Spark Studios in Oakland, California. During this time, he gained experience by working with E-40, Tone Capone, and Scarface. He spent the year of 1999 shipping records for TRC distribution. During this time, he delved deeper into the already buzzing Bay-Area Hip-Hop scene. From 2000 to 2005, he worked as a free-lance sound engineer and worked with many high-profile acts including:
DJ Jazzy Jeff, Afrika Bambaataa, Pharcyde, Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, Goapele, Zion I, and many others. He graduated from San Francisco State University in 2005 before moving back to Los Angeles and eventually to Tokyo.

Metaform began playing piano at the age of 7, and guitar at age 13. By the time he turned 16, Metaform formed a heavy metal band with two of his classmates. The band mostly played Metallica and Slayer covers. At age 18, Metaform joined the now defunct San Francisco punk rock band, The Breakouts, as rhythm guitar and they played at several club shows in San Francisco. After The Breakouts, Metaform met 4X-ampL (who now resides in Montreal) during an audio engineering class. The two quickly became friends and formed the rock group Team USA (along with Casten on drums) and Metaform played the guitar and also contributed towards vocals. Later, Metaform and 4X-ampL formed the electronica duo Razed High. During this time, Metaform was known as Hai-Ding, a play on words in that he was "in hiding" and working on what would later become Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.

Justice Aaron has lived and worked in Tokyo, Japan, since July 2006.

Major works

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
His instrumental opus, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, was released on April 15, 2008, which spent the entire month of May on the College Music Journal's top 20. It was produced and engineered by Metaform at his various home studios over a five-year period in which he kept in deep isolation, it is hailed as one of the top ten records of 2008 by Eddie Fleisher of Alternative Press Magazine. Since its release, the album has received praise in major publications including URB, REMIX, XLR8R, and Alternative Press. Alternative Press reviewed the album as "One of the best instrumental hip-hop records in years." while JIVE Magazine noted "Metaform takes the listener on an audible journey that few other
producers are capable.". The album was also reviewed by PopMatters Magazine, stating "He’s also a multi-instrumentalist, which allows him to breathe new life into samples and manipulate them as he sees fit beyond typical means."

Beats from the Crypt: Early Works
Released in the same year as "Standing...", this LP of B-sides and rarities was adored by fans of the first album in that it was also constructed primarily from samples.  The album cover shows an early desk work station which was used by the artist for late night writing sessions.  This record is also where he first exposes his voice on such tracks as "Right Next to You" and "Blue Skies".

The Electric Mist
Released June 15, 2010, The Electric Mist represented Metaform's break from traditional sample/loop based song writing into original synth-based song construction.  The record was met with mixed reactions by existing fans, and ushered in a new audience who was attracted by the dark and sexy electro-pop sound.  The Electric Mist was featured on the popular torrent site "Demonoid" where it was released for free by Justice Aaron, and remained in the top 10 music list for 2 years being downloaded over 300,000 times.

The Midnight Machine
A science fiction opera trilogy which Justice began developing in 2009.  Act 1 will be released on June 4, 2013.

A litra (plural: litrae; ) was a small silver coin (or unit of measurement for other precious metals) used in the Archaic-era and early Classical colonies of Ancient Greece in general and in ancient Sicily in particular. As a coin, the litra was similar in value to the obol  In silver content, the coin weighed  and was equal to one-fifth of a drachma.  As a unit of weight, the litra was one-third of a Roman libra, i.e. .

Making small change from the silver coin, one litra could be divided into 12 bronze onkia coins (also spelled ounkia and related to the later Roman uncia).  Some ancient Greek bronze coins were marked with value "pellets," which are tiny solid domed counting-dots somewhat like the pips on dice.  Because of the division into 12 parts, a bronze coin marked with six pellets was worth half a litra (a hemilitron).  A coin marked with three pellets was a quarter-litra (called a tetras for a fourth-part).  For those accustomed to a 10-based rather than a 12-based coin system, it can be confusing that a coin marked with three units is a "quarter," but this is because three onkia is one fourth of a 12-onkia litra.  A bronze coin worth one-sixth of a litra, called a hexans, often bore two value-pellets.  Worth two onkia, the hexans was also called a dionkion (a two onkia unit).  A five-onkia coin also appeared at times, called by numismatists a quincunx. (Not all ancient bronze coins with pellets/pips were such divisions of a litra; the Roman aes grave coins also used pellets.)

In the 3rd-century apocryphal New Testament text known as the Acts of Thomas, Jesus sells Thomas to an Indian merchant "for three litrae of silver unstamped".

In the Talmud, the litra is a unit of measurement, the equivalent of 60 shekels, weighing .

Chew Lips was an English dance-pop trio, formed in spring of 2008. It consisted of singer 'Tigs' and multi-instrumentalists James Watkins and Will Sanderson

Career

2008–2009: First steps
Formed in London as a three piece band in the summer of 2008, Huerta, Watkins and Sanderson armed themselves with a slew of electro-pop hooks and set about establishing Chew Lips as one of the most exciting new acts in the capital.

With Tigs developing into a charismatic whirlwind of a front woman who it was impossible to take your eyes off, Chew Lips increasingly compelling live performances grabbed the attention of uber-cool French label Kitsuné who insisted on putting out the band's debut single, "Solo".

Released in March 2009, "Solo" sold out almost instantly, causing a storm in the blogosphere and beyond, with Pitchfork calling the track "….classic, pristine," and The Fly magazine labelling it "one of the most magnificent debuts of the year".

2009–2010: Second Kitsuné single and Unicorn

A relentless schedule of touring followed into 2009 as Chew Lips honed their sound into a sleek, sophisticated beast.

Kitsuné released a second sold out single, "Salt Air" in July 2009 – NME called it "an addictive slice of heart-wrenching disco-pop" – before the band begun work in summer '09 on their full-length debut with Bat For Lashes collaborator David Kosten.

The fruits of their labour came with the self-released album Unicorn in January 2010, such a giant leap forward for their sound that they were confident enough to leave off both of the previous singles. It was easy to see why – in the likes of "Play Together", "Karen" and "Slick", they had outdone themselves. The press agreed: the BBC called it "startling", NME "mesmeric", whilst a 4/5 review in The Guardian said it "drags you straight in."

Another stretch of touring followed and by the time the European festival season came round, and after a successful appearance at SXSW in Texas (Elle US described them as the best new act at the festival), Chew Lips were on top of their game. Topping off their tour they headlined the packed BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury Festival.

Other touring highlights include support slots with The Killers, Delphic, We Are Scientists, The Virgins, Joy Formidable, Howling Bells, three sold out UK tours and a sold out European tour in 2011.

 Split
Huertas announced on Twitter in 2015 that she was now only writing material for other artists, implying that Chew Lips had disbanded.

The 1996–97 Pro Tour season was the second season of the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour. It began on 13 September 1996 with Pro Tour Atlanta, and ended on 17 August 1997 with the conclusion of 1997 World Championship in Seattle. The season consisted of five Grand Prix, and six Pro Tours, located in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Paris, New York, and Seattle. At the end of the season Paul McCabe from Canada was awarded the Pro Player of the year title. It was the first season to host Grand Prix, which are major tournaments awarding cash prizes and Pro Points, but open to all players.

Mode

Six Pro Tours were held in the 1996–97 season. Five Grand Prixs were held in the season. However, they did not award Pro Points. Based on final Pro Tour standings Pro Points were awarded as follows:

Pro Tour – Atlanta (13–15 September 1996)

Atlanta was the only Pro Tour ever to host an individual Sealed Deck competition as the main event. Furthermore, the cards were all previously unknown to the players as Mirage product was used, but Mirage had not been officially released yet. Also Atlanta was the first Pro Tour that allowed players to intentionally draw matches. In the end German Frank Adler won Pro Tour Atlanta over Darwin Kastle.

Tournament data
Prize pool: $150,000 ($250,000 including Team Competition and scholarships for the Junior Division)
Players: 192
Format: Sealed Deck (Mirage)

Final standings

Other divisions

Aaron Souders won the Junior Division against Louis Beryl. Jason Gordon and Daniel Connelly were the other semi-finalists. The quarter-finalists were David Lively, Trevor Blackwell, James Murphy, and Alexander Sutherland. The team of Mark Chalice, Scott Johns, Mark Justice, Preston Poulter, and Mario Robaina won the Team Competition against Dave Lyon, Mike Reinking, Kevin Stelzer, Jeff Sternal, and Chris Stelzer for a prize of $11,000.

Pro Tour – Dallas (22–24 November 1996)

Eventual Pro Player of the year Paul McCabe won Pro Tour Dallas. The Canadian defeated Jason Zila from the US in the final. Olle Råde had his third Top 8 appearance while playing only his fourth Pro Tour. Pro Tour Dallas also featured a Type I (now Vintage) division, which Scott Johns won.

Justin Schneider won the finals of the Junior Division against Jeremy Baca for a $16,000 scholarship. The other semi-finalists were Patrick Chapin and Jeff Simoneau. The quarter-finalists were Jason Moungey, Vinnie Falcone, Yubin Tao, and Adam Jansen.

Pro Tour – Los Angeles (28 February – 2 March 1997)

Tommi Hovi won Pro Tour Los Angeles, winning the final against David Mills. It was the only Pro Tour final ever to be decided by a disqualification. Mills was disqualified because he repeatedly tapped his lands after (rather than before) attempting to play a spell, which was not allowed at the time. Leading to an upset amongst the players it was eventually decided that Mills would be allowed to claim his prize, despite being originally disqualified without prize.

Los Angeles was also the first Pro Tour to use the so-called Paris Mulligan. Previously players were allowed to take a mulligan if they had an all-land or no-land starting hand. Instead players could now mulligan whenever they wished to do so, but had to draw an opening hand with one card less. The name Paris Mulligan actually refers to the subsequent Pro Tour in Paris, which was the first Constructed Pro Tour to use this rule.

Jess Means won the finals of the Junior Division against eventual Hall of Famer Zvi Mowshowitz.

Tournament data

Prize pool: $150,000

Paris was the first Pro Tour held outside the United States. In the finals, the biggest names of Magic at the time (Mike Long and Mark Justice) met to determine the champion. Both decks present in the final belonged to Long as he had previously loaned his deck to Justice. Eventually Long won the match, en route winning a game which his Combo deck was not capable of winning any more, but he convinced Justice to concede anyway.

The Goulstonian Lectures are an annual lecture series given on behalf of the Royal College of Physicians in London. They began in 1639. The lectures are named for Theodore Goulston (or Gulston, died 1632), who founded them with a bequest. By his will, dated 26 April 1632, he left £200 to the College of Physicians of London to found a lectureship, to be held in each year by one of the four youngest doctors of the college. These lectures were annually delivered from 1639, and have continued for more than three centuries. Up to the end of the 19th century, the spelling Gulstonian was often used. In many cases the lectures have been published.

Gulston's widow bequeathedthe annual donation to the College of Physicians for them to arrange for one of the four youngest doctors to "read the lecture on some dead body (if it could be procured), to be dissected as the President and Elects should think necessary for the diseases to be treated of ; the lecture to be read yearly, between Christmas and Easter, on three days together ; and the reader to treat of three or more diseases, as the seniors of the College should direct ; ten pounds to be paid to the doctor who should read, and two pounds to the dissector and for burying the body".

Nobilissimus (Latin for "most noble"), in Byzantine Greek nōbelissimos (Greek: νωβελίσσιμος), was one of the highest imperial titles in the late Roman and Byzantine empires. The feminine form of the title was nobilissima.

History and functions

The term nobilissimus originated as an epithet to the title of Caesar, whose holder was the Roman and Byzantine emperor's heir-apparent and who would, after Geta in 198, be addressed nobilissimus Caesar. According to the historian Zosimus, Emperor Constantine the Great (r. 306–337) first created the nobilissimus into a separate dignity, so as to honour some of his relatives without implying a claim to the imperial throne. The title thus came to be awarded to members of the imperial family, coming in rank immediately after that of Caesar, and remained so throughout the early and middle Byzantine period, until the mid-11th century. In the Klētorologion of Philotheos, written in 899, the rank's insignia are described as a purple tunic, mantle and belt, indicating the exalted position of its holder. Their award by the emperor in a special ceremony signified the elevation of the recipient to the office.

From the late 11th century, the title was given to senior army commanders, the future Byzantine emperor Alexios Komnenos being the first to be thus honoured. The inflation of its holders during the Komnenian period led to its devaluation, and the new titles of prōtonōbelissimos (πρωτονωβελίσσιμος, "first nobilissimus") and prōtonōbelissimohypertatos (πρωτονωβελισσιμοϋπέρτατος, "supreme first nobilissimus") were created in the 12th century. nobilissimus puer referred to "most noble child".

"Say" is the first and only single from rapper Method Man's fourth studio album, 4:21... The Day After. It samples Lauryn Hill's "So Much Things to Say" from MTV's Unplugged. The song finds Method Man addressing critics and fickle fans for disrespecting him, his swag and his Wu-Tang brethren.
