Graveyard Shift is a 1990 American horror film directed by Ralph S. Singleton, written by John Esposito, starring David Andrews, Stephen Macht, Kelly Wolf, and Brad Dourif, and based on the 1970 short story of the same name by Stephen King which was first published in the October 1970 issue of Cavalier magazine, and later collected in King's 1978 collection Night Shift. The film was released in October 1990.

Plot
Widowed drifter John Hall is hired to work in a rat-infested textile mill by the sadistic mill foreman, Warwick. Warwick has been carrying on numerous affairs with female workers, the latest being Nordello. Warwick has hired an eccentric rat exterminator Tucker Cleveland to take care of the rat problem. Cleveland confides in Hall that he is unable to kill all of the rats and the mill should be shut down. In the following weeks, Hall is bullied by both his fellow workers Danson, Brogan, and Stevenson, and Warwick, who holds a special hatred for him. Hall begins a romantic relationship with his coworker Jane Wisconsky.

Warwick is informed that the basement must be cleaned up to make way for new offices. Warwick assigns Stevenson to look through the basement before he assigns a crew to clean it out. Stevenson is grabbed by an unseen creature and dragged away.

Warwick assigns Hall, Wisconsky, Carmichael, Danson and Brogan to clean the basement. That night, Nordello breaks in to steal documents showing recommendations for the mill’s closure from Warwick. Nordello falls down the stairs into the basement, where the creature devours her. Tucker Cleveland is killed when a stone coffin falls on him and buries him alive in the graveyard cave. Meanwhile Warwick believes the graveyard to be the breeding ground for the rats.

While Brogan is busy shooting the rats with the fire hose, Hall discovers a trap door leading to an abandoned part of the mill, which he believes to be the nesting ground. Warwick forces Hall to enter with a fire hose to kill the rats. Hall agrees on the condition that Warwick help him in handling the fire hose. Wisconsky also volunteers, and Warwick forces the remaining workers to go. Once downstairs, Brogan, with the hose in his hands discovers a human hand remains on it. Terrified he runs back up but one of the stairs breaks and he falls to the pool beneath where the creature devoured him. Carmichael discovers a cave passage with the sound of an outside river and encourages the team to follow him. Once inside, he discovers a hole through which they can reach outside. Once putting the hand within he is attacked by the creature who rips his hand. The team abandons him and he's also devoured by the creature. A terrified Danson refuses to keep on going and is abandoned by the team. Left alone in a complete dark and hearing a strange noise next to him he lights a lighter and encounters the creature who immediately douvours him.

Hall and Wisconsky discover the creature’s lair, a large cavern filled with human and animal bones. Wisconsky discovers Warwick with a severe head wound buried beneath a pile of bones. Now insane, Warwick attacks Hall and Wisconsky, engaging Hall in a brutal battle. Wisconsky attempts to stop him, only to be stabbed by Warwick with a knife. Warwick flees from a vengeful Hall, only to discover the creature: a large, bat-like rat. Warwick attacks and injures it, only to be killed and devoured. Seeing this, Hall flees and manages to escape into the mill. The creature follows him and attacks him, only for its tail to be caught in the cotton picker. Hall turns on the cotton picker, tearing the creature apart. The final shot shows a sign outside the still-open mill, stating the mill is under new management.

TV Extended Ending
Hall punches out ending his shift and he also punches Wisconsky's shift before leaving the mill.

Cast

Production
Stephen King optioned Graveyard Shift for a relatively modest $2,500 to William J. Dunn who had worked on King projects such as Creepshow 2 and Pet Sematary as a location scout, as well as having helped to establish the Maine Film Office. King's decision to option Graveyard Shift for a relatively small amount was motivated by the story being a short story as well as the company being small and felt they had interesting enough ideas to warrant as "Pay as you go" type approach. Dunn brought in Ralph S. Singleton to direct the film in what would be his directorial debut after having previously served as an associate producer on Pet Sematary. The adaptation of the Graveyard Shift was written by John Esposito who had actually been carried over from work under another producer who had previously held the option on the story but let it lapse. Dunn secured financial backing for the film from Larry Sugar Entertainment who had previously handled the European theatrical release of Salem's Lot edited from the TV miniseries, and opted to produce Graveyard Shift independently which was motivated by the success of Pet Sematary. Larry Sugar put the film immediately into production hoping to be the very first King adaptation after Pet Sematery, and upon the film's unveiling at the American Film Market, Paramount acquired distribution rights hoping to repeat the success of having distributed Pet Semetary.

The film was shot in the village of Harmony, Maine at Bartlettyarns Inc., the oldest woolen yarn mill in the United States (est. 1821). The historic Bartlett mill was renamed "Bachman" for the movie, an homage to King's pseudonym, Richard Bachman. The interior shots of the antique mill machinery, and the riverside cemetery, were in Harmony. Other scenes (restaurant interior, and giant wool picking machine) were at locations in Bangor, Maine, at an abandoned waterworks and armory. A few other mill scenes were staged near the Eastland woolen mill in Corinna, Maine, which subsequently became a Superfund site.

Reception
The film was received poorly by critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a rare 0% approval rating based on seven reviews. Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade of "C−" on scale of A+ to F.

Graveyard Shift was a modest box office success for Paramount. The film was released October 26, 1990 in the United States, opening in first place that weekend. It grossed a total of $11,582,891 domestically.

Stephen King heavily disliked the film and named it one of his least favorite adaptations calling it "a quick exploitation picture".

Home media
Graveyard Shift was released on VHS and Laserdisc in 1991. The DVD was released on May 28, 2002, and re-released on August 15, 2017 by Paramount Home Entertainment. Columbia TriStar released the film on Region DVDs and VHS from 1992-2003. The film was released on Blu-ray in France on October 3, 2011, Spain and Germany in 2017. On July 28, 2020, Shout! Factory under the Scream Factory label released the film on Blu-ray.

Soundtrack
A limited edition soundtrack release, featuring the score by Anthony Marinelli and Brian Banks, was released on October 6, 2020 from La-La Land Records.

KMFM Shepway and White Cliffs Country is an Independent Local Radio station serving the districts of Dover and Folkestone and Hythe (previously known as Shepway) and the surrounding areas in Kent, South East England. It is the South Kent region of the KMFM radio network (owned by the KM Group), containing local advertisements and sponsorships for the area amongst a countywide schedule of programming.

The station has been referred to by many names. Its official name is "KMFM Shepway and White Cliffs Country", however the website previously described it as "KMFM Dover and Folkestone", and on air it was referred to as "Shepway's KMFM".

History
KMFM Shepway and White Cliffs Country launched on 29 September 1997 as Neptune Radio, broadcasting on 96.4 and 106.8 FM after a month-long trial concluded earlier that same morning.

The station's roots extend to the 1970s, where it began as pirate radio station Channel Radio, which only broadcast in the Dover area. Run by Dover native Eddie Austin, who previously worked at Radio Caroline, the station was fined numerous times, but Austin maintained it until the town received its own radio licence.

The station emerged as a combination of two stations broadcasting through the 1990s – "Shepway Sound" in Folkestone (broadcasting November–December 1993, and August 1994), and "White Cliffs Sound" in Dover (broadcasting May 1994 and August 1995). Austin and his group, South East Radio, applied for the licences for Shepway and White Cliffs Country in 1996 and were awarded the licence for both areas in January 1997. The new station was rebranded as Neptune Radio due to the station's proximity to the English Channel.

The station won the UK Radio Station of the Year award twice, in 1999 and 2000, and reached approximately 30,000 listeners each week (a 24% share of the audience). After being bought by Radio Investments Ltd, its successful format was applied to its sister stations Arrow FM in Hastings and Sovereign Radio in Eastbourne. A group, spearheaded by Neptune Radio disc jockey Mark Carter, also applied for the Ashford licence under the name Ashford FM, but they did not gain the licence.

The station was purchased by the KM Group in 2001 and started programme sharing at weekends with other KM-owned stations in Kent. It was subsequently re-branded to KMFM Shepway and White Cliffs Country in 2003. The KM Group relocated the station from premises on Church Street in Dover to their Folkestone offices for the Kentish Express in Sandgate Road.

The company was reawarded the licence for the station in July 2008. In April 2009, KMFM were granted permission by Ofcom to move the studios to their building in Ashford, although the sales team remains in Folkestone. Following the arrival of the county-wide breakfast, all KMFM programming is now broadcast from Medway.

In June 2010 the Breakfast Show was presented live from the Folkestone Multi-Cultural Festival with several guests and show crew.

Like the rest of the KMFM network, the station was relaunched in September 2010 with new jingles, schedule changes and more emphasis on music.

The KMFM network switched to a contemporary hit radio format in 2012 following the merging of KMFM Extra with KMFM. The music now focuses mainly on Top 40 hits, and contains a lot more dance and R&B than before.

Programming
All programming across the KMFM network is now shared across all seven stations following OFCOM approval in February 2012. The local breakfast show, by then the only local show on the station, was replaced by a county-wide show on 12 March 2012.

Until 2007 KMFM Shepway and White Cliffs Country produced its own programmes during daytimes, before it joined up with KMFM Ashford to network all programmes other than breakfast. The stations joined with KMFM Canterbury and KMFM Thanet to create an East Kent network in April 2009, before all programmes apart from weekday/Saturday breakfast and Sunday afternoons were networked across all KMFM stations in September 2009. In July 2010, Saturday breakfast and Sunday afternoons became networked.

News bulletins come from the KMFM News Centre in the Medway studios on the hour from 6am – 6pm on weekdays, and 8am – 1pm at weekends. National news bulletins come from Sky News Radio outside these times. Traffic and travel updates are broadcast just before the hour, and every 20 minutes between 7am – 9am and 4pm – 7pm.

Hugo Åbergs Memorial is an annual Group One harness event for trotters that is held at Jägersro Racetrack in Malmö, Sweden. Hugo Åbergs Memorial has taken place since 1970. In 2008, the purse of the event was approximately US$291,000 (SEK1,750,000). Hugo Åbergs Memorial is part of the European Grand Circuit.

Origin
Hugo Åbergs Memorial was inaugurated in 1970 to commemorate Hugo Åberg, who had died in a car accident the previous year. Åberg was a significant building contractor, responsible for many building projects in Malmö, as well as a horse racing devotee.

Racing conditions
Since the start in 1970, Hugo Åbergs Memorial has been almost exclusively over 1,609 meters, one mile. The two exceptions are the editions of 1971 and 1972, when the race was nine meters shorter, i.e. 1,600 meters. Auto start has been used all years but 1971 and 1977, when volt start was used instead.

The event is invitational, meaning only invited horses can participate.

Ralph Gary "Rocky" Thompson (born November 8, 1947) is a former American football player for the New York Giants in the National Football League (NFL).

Thompson, a running back/wide receiver, played college football at Hartnell College and West Texas State, where he was the roommate of future Dallas Cowboys star Duane Thomas.  Thompson was a world-class sprinter who won the AAA Championships 100 metres in 1970 with a time of 10.1 seconds, and representing Bermuda, he reached the final of the 100 metres at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games, finishing sixth.

The Giants drafted Thompson in the first round of the 1971 NFL Draft with the 18th overall selection.  He appeared in all 28 regular-season games for the Giants in 1971 and 1972, primarily as a kickoff returner, but his NFL career was ended by a severe neck injury during play. The Giants subsequently released Thompson before the start of the 1974 season.

Shortly after Thompson was selected in the first round of the 1971 draft out of West Texas State, The New York Times reported that Rocky Thompson is listed in Bermuda and in official Brit track records as Ralph Gary Symonds.  Thompson explained that his mother's maiden name was Symonds but when she remarried he took his stepfather's name of "Thompson."  But he competed at track under his mother's maiden name, and later as Rocky Thompson-Symonds, since his mother had also ran track for Bermuda.

Paul F. Levy is an American businessman, author, professor, and was elected on Nov 2, 2021 to a two-year term (Jan 2022 to Dec 2023) for the Ward 6 seat on the Newton (MA) School Committee. He is noted for his use of social media in health care leadership roles, and has been the subject of academic research and Harvard Business School case studies about the role of social media in important and complex negotiations.

Education
Paul F. Levy is a graduate of McBurney School in New York City in 1968 and of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1972.

Career
Levy's career after graduation included serving as Deputy Director of the MA Energy Policy Office and Director of the Arkansas Department of Energy. He returned to MA and then served as chairman of the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities from 1983–87, Executive Director of the Mass Water Resources Authority from 1988-1992, adjunct professor at MIT from 1992-1998, and, in 1998, became executive dean for administration at Harvard Medical School.
He is the co-author of Negotiating Environmental Agreements, which was published in 1999. He was a member of the MIT Corporation and up until September 2017, a board member of ISO New England.

Levy was executive director of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, where he was famous for leading the "Boston Harbor Cleanup". He published a description of conditions that led to sewage treatment facilities failures he dubbed the Nut Island effect in 2001.

Levy assumed a position as president and CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in 2002. At BIDMC, Levy became one of the earliest hospital CEO's to write his own blog, which he started in August 2006. Via this blog he led the first blog rally on end of life matters. He has taken very public positions on topics such as the transparency of clinical outcomes and he also voiced his opposition to SEIU's efforts to unionize BIDMC employees. His strategic use of a blog to oppose unionization has been the subject of a book, as well as academic research focused on the role, power, potential and perils of social media in negotiation.

Levy received national attention in 2009 for leading the workers at BIDMC to avoid hundreds of layoffs by engaging them in the crowdsourcing of ideas to save money as the hospital faced deficits due to the national recession. Workers agreed to make extra sacrifices to insulate the lowest paid workers in the hospital from reductions in wages and benefits.

On January 7, 2011, he announced that he would be resigning from BIDMC. In a blog post, Levy said that he recently had time to reflect during a biking trip through Africa and had decided to move on to new challenges after nine years with Beth Israel. "Last night, I informed the Chair of our Board that I will be stepping down as CEO. We will work out an appropriate transition period, and things will continue to run smoothly here. I leave confident that the Board will find many able candidates to succeed me." Levy continued writing his blog after leaving BIDMC, renaming it "Not Running a Hospital," broadening its reach to focus on health care policy matters and clinical practice improvement throughout the world.

In 2012, Levy published Goal Play! Leadership Lessons from the Soccer Field, a book that offers insights from sports, health care, business, and government to help leaders get better outcomes. As a practical guide to improved leadership, the book highlights unconventional thinking and actions that can be used to bring about outstanding results. In 2013, Levy published How A Blog Held Off the Most Powerful Union in America, presenting the story of how he used social media to fend off a corporate campaign by the Service Employees International Union. In 2014, Levy and Farzana Mohamed published How to Negotiate Your First Job, a guide to young professionals entering the work force.

In September 2015, he announced that the focus of the blog would shift to negotiation theory and practice, leadership training and mentoring, and teaching.  On March 15, 2016, he announced that he would discontinue the blog to focus on other interests.

Levy is often invited by health care organizations throughout the world to give speeches on eliminating preventable harm, transparency of clinical outcomes, and front-line driven process improvement. He was invited to be a Thinker in Residence at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia, from November 2015 through March 2016.

In 2018, he published Don't Sign Anything: A Guide for the Day You Are Laid Off, which provides advice on negotiating severance deals.

In 2020, his work on the use of social media in complex or important negotiations was featured in a case study presented at a Program on Negotiation working conference on AI, Technology, and Negotiation. In 2021, this case study appeared in an article in the Negotiation Journal titled "Dealmaking Disrupted: The Unexplored Power of Social Media in Negotiation" and in a Harvard Business Review article titled "A Playbook for Negotiators in the Social Media Era," co-authored with James Sebenius, David Lax and Ben Cook.

He is currently senior adviser at Lax Sebenius LLC, a negotiation consultancy firm co-founded by David Lax and James Sebenius. He is a Professor of the Practice at the D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University. He is also a visiting professor at the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London and an honorary professor with the Australian Institute of Health Innovation in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.

Legacy

Levy's leadership record at BIDMC, including his use of social media as a management tool, was the subject of a case study published in November 2010 by The Health Foundation, an independent charity working to improve the quality of healthcare in the United Kingdom.   David A. Garvin and Michael A. Roberto of Harvard Business School had previously produced a multimedia case study on Levy's turn-around of BIDMC in 2002.

He is a current resident of Newton, Massachusetts.

Controversy

Levy admitted on May 5, 2010, to poor judgement in his role as CEO of BIDMC, because he had hired and promoted a female employee with whom he had an allegedly inappropriate relationship.  He was fined $50,000 but given a vote of confidence by the Board of BIDMC. Levy also issued an apology on his blog.

In mathematics, Wilkie's theorem is a result by Alex Wilkie about the theory of ordered fields with an exponential function, or equivalently about the geometric nature of exponential varieties.

Formulations
In terms of model theory, Wilkie's theorem deals with the language Lexp = (+, −, ·, <, 0, 1, ex), the language of ordered rings with an exponential function ex. Suppose φ(x1, ..., xm) is a formula in this language. Then Wilkie's theorem states that there is an integer n ≥ m and polynomials f1, ..., fr ∈ Z[x1, ..., xn, ex1, ..., exn] such that φ(x1, ..., xm) is equivalent to the existential formula

Thus, while this theory does not have full quantifier elimination, formulae can be put in a particularly simple form. This result proves that the theory of the structure Rexp, that is the real ordered field with the exponential function, is model complete.

In terms of analytic geometry, the theorem states that any definable set in the above language — in particular the complement of an exponential variety — is in fact a projection of an exponential variety. An exponential variety over a field K is the set of points in Kn where a finite collection of exponential polynomials simultaneously vanish. Wilkie's theorem states that if we have any definable set in an Lexp structure K = (K, +, −, ·, 0, 1, ex), say X ⊂ Km, then there will be an exponential variety in some higher dimension Kn such that the projection of this variety down onto Km will be precisely X.

Gabrielov's theorem
The result can be considered as a variation of Gabrielov's theorem. This earlier theorem of Andrei Gabrielov dealt with sub-analytic sets, or the language Lan of ordered rings with a function symbol for each proper analytic function on Rm restricted to the closed unit cube [0, 1]m. Gabrielov's theorem states that any formula in this language is equivalent to an existential one, as above. Hence the theory of the real ordered field with restricted analytic functions is model complete.

Intermediate results
Gabrielov's theorem applies to the real field with all restricted analytic functions adjoined, whereas Wilkie's theorem removes the need to restrict the function, but only allows one to add the exponential function. As an intermediate result Wilkie asked when the complement of a sub-analytic set could be defined using the same analytic functions that described the original set. It turns out the required functions are the Pfaffian functions. In particular the theory of the real ordered field with restricted, totally defined Pfaffian functions is model complete. Wilkie's approach for this latter result is somewhat different from his proof of Wilkie's theorem, and the result that allowed him to show that the Pfaffian structure is model complete is sometimes known as Wilkie's theorem of the complement.

Vijf tegen Vijf (or 5 tegen 5) was a Dutch game show based on the original American format of Family Feud.
In the game, two teams consisting of five contestants play against each other and have to answer questions based on surveys taken by random people from the Netherlands. They have to guess which answer was given by most of the people involved in the survey.

It was first aired by the VARA in 1982, and the show was hosted by Willem Ruis. However, the show was canceled in 1986 because of the death of Willem Ruis. The VARA revived the series in March 1992 with Peter-Jan Rens as the host, but the show went to the commercial channel RTL 4 in 1993, because host Peter-Jan Rens also went to that channel. Later, the show was sponsored by the Lotto (which also sponsored Weekend Miljonairs). RTL 4 canceled the program in 1998 because there were problems with the rights for the format.

When the commercial channel Talpa (now Tien) started in 2005, they began airing new episodes of the show. At Talpa, the show was hosted by singer Gordon Heuckeroth from 2005 to 2006, and later in 2006, Winston Gerschtanowitz became the host. In 2008, RTL 5 began airing reruns of the Talpa episodes.

On June 6, 2009, Talpa/Tien aired a special edition hosted by Carlo Boszhard. In this episode, celebrities tried to win as much money as possible for charity.

In 2021, after being off the air for no more than six years, the show now airs on SBS6 with singer Gordon Heuckeroth returning as host.

Rules
The rules are mostly the same as the other versions, except for a few minor differences. Unlike most other versions, the teams in the Dutch version don't always consist of five family members, but sometimes the teams consist of friends, colleagues, members of a sports team, etc. After four questions (three questions from 1993 to 1998), with only the last question being worth twice the value, the team in the lead won the championship.

When the show moved to RTL 4 in 1993, a bonus game was added, which was played at the beginning of the program. In it, every contestant had to answer a question. When one got the number one answer, his or her team would get ƒ1000. If they got the number two answer, the team would get ƒ500, and if they got the number 3 answer, the team would get ƒ250.

From 1982 until 1998, the top prize of the show was ƒ5000, which was awarded when a team got over 200 points in the final round. If the team failed to score 200 points, each point earned one Dutch guilder in addition to one guilder per point in the main game. If they had earned additional money in the bonus game, that money would be added to the top prize. After the RTL 4 version ended in 1998, the bonus game was not played anymore.

From 2005 and on, the top prize was €5000, which also was awarded when a team got over 200 points in the final round. On the current revival, naming all five top answers in the final doubles the jackpot to €10,000.

Ludwig Friedrich Theodor Hain (5 July 1781, in Stargard – 27 June 1836, in Munich) was a German editor and bibliographer.

He studied classical philology and Oriental languages at the University of Halle, and from 1802 lived and worked in Weimar. For several years he was an editor of Brockhaus' Conversations-Lexikon in Altenburg (from 1812) and Leipzig. Later on in his career, he worked as private scholar in Munich.

He is best known as the compiler of Repertorium bibliographicum (1822), a pioneering short title catalogue of incunabula. "Hain numbers" are still used as common bibliographical references.

His work has since been superseded by the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) at the British Library and the Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke (GW) at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin.

Frascati is an early 19th-century Federal-style plantation house near Somerset in Orange County, Virginia. Frascati was the residence of Philip P. Barbour, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and statesman.

History
Frascati was built between 1821 and 1823 for Philip P. Barbour, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and statesman. Barbour's father, Thomas Barbour arrived in Orange County as a young man from Culpeper County. In 1806, Thomas Barbour and his wife, Mary, sold their home tract of  to their son, Philip. Barbour entered into his "Articles of Agreement" with master builder John M. Perry on 7 November 1821. Barbour was familiar with Perry's capabilities through his work at the University of Virginia and was attracted to Somerset, the home of his neighbor, Thomas Macon. Like Somerset, Frascati was influenced by the more conventional, central hall Federal house style. This conventional format contrasted with the tastes of Barbour's brother, Senator James Barbour of Barboursville. Barboursville was designed by Thomas Jefferson in 1822 and displayed Jefferson's mixing of French and Palladian forms similar to that at Monticello.

Frascati was Barbour's home until his death in 1841. Barbour's wife sold the estate in 1848 to Captain James Magruder, another local builder who had worked under Jefferson on the University of Virginia. Frascati was then long the home of Mrs. William H. Lyne, followed by Mr. A. D. Irving, a distant relation to Washington Irving. The residence is now owned by the Barrow family, who have preserved its farm setting.

Frascati was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register on 16 September 1980 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 28 June 1982.

Architecture
Frascati is one of the Piedmont's best-documented 19th-century dwellings. The original building contract is preserved in the collections of the Virginia Historical Society and called for "exterior walls of the whole house to be faced with rubber stretchers well burned..." with the brickwork also "to be equal to any... at the University of Virginia." It was designed by John M. Perry of nearby Albemarle County, Virginia. Perry was one of the master builders employed by Thomas Jefferson both at Monticello and the University of Virginia. Frascati's Tuscan portico and classical detailing are Jeffersonian architectural characteristics.

The 57' x 39' structure is executed in very even Flemish-bond brick with tooled penciled joints. Frascati's shallow hipped roof covers the two-story, double-pile residence. Frascati's main entrance has paneled double doors set within a frame containing a large semicircular transom and complementing sidelights all encircled with elaborately patterned wooden tracery. The frame consists of symmetrical architraves with paneled corner blocks. The main entrance is sheltered by a tetrastyle, pedimented Tuscan portico on a brick podium. Frascati's Tuscan portico has stuccoed columns, a full entablature, and a pediment with a semicircular lunette in the tympanum.

Fenestration throughout Frascati consists of six-over-six sash windows set in wooden architraves and flanked by original louvered shutters. Paired interior-end chimneys are located on Frascati's north and south elevations. A later semi-exterior chimney is found on the home's rear elevation. The roof is covered with standing-seam sheet metal.

Frascati's central hall plan and interior are discussed at some length in the original specifications:
The house to have a passage through the middle of it ten feet wide in the clear; and to have a cross partition wall so as to divide the floors of each story into four rooms besides the passage; both the passage walls and cross walls to go from the foundation to the top to be of brick and of the same thickness in the several stories as in the outer walls; the whole house bapement story and all, to be well plaistered with a due preportion of plaister of Paris.... The drawing room and passage each to have a handsome cornice of plaister, and each a handsome center ornament of plaister in the ceiling; the general style of all the wood work to be like Thomas Macon's dwelling house... there are to be two staircases one private from the dining room and chamber, with a closet under it; the other an elegant ornamental one out of the passage....

The parlor exhibits plasterwork ceiling medallions and entablatures, the latter copied from a design in Asher Benjamin's American Builder's Companion (1806). Surviving on the Frascati estate grounds are the original kitchen outbuilding and remnants of the extensive original gardens.

Maria Teresa Cybo-Malaspina (29 June 1725  29 December 1790) was the sovereign Duchess of Massa and Princess of Carrara from 1731 until her death in 1790. From 1780 she also formally held the title of Duchess consort of Modena and Reggio. This was thanks to her unhappy marriage to Ercole III d'Este, from whom she was separated at the time.

Life

Childhood
Maria Teresa was born on 29 June 1725 in Novellara. She was the eldest daughter of  (1690-1731), Duke of Massa and Prince of Carrara, and his wife, Countess  (1698-1768). Not having the ducal couple fathered sons and being the Salic law derogated in Massa and Carrara by virtue of a 1529 decree from Emperor Charles V, she was her father's primary heiress. Thus, when he died on 18 August 1731, she succeeded him aged only six, under the regency of her mother.

Marriage
Her position as the sovereign of the two, however small, Tuscan states made Maria Teresa an attractive match.

With the aim of establishing a second Savoy state in central Italy, Prince Eugene of Savoy, a cadet of a collateral branch of the family, and a prominent member of the imperial court, requested the hand of the very young duchess for his great-nephew Eugene Jean, Count of Soissons, the only male descendant of his family line, and obtained the approval of Emperor Charles VI and the King Charles Emmanuel III of Sardinia, whom he looked to as the head of the family. Matrimonial agreements were signed in Vienna, where the prince resided, on 2 May 1732, and, in the month of October, the seventeen-year-old betrothed visited Massa to pay homage to his little fiancée and future mother-in-law. The marriage, however, could not take place due to the young count's premature death in Mannheim on 23 November 1734.

The death of the Savoy pretender did not lead to any waning of the emperor's interest in the marriage of the Duchess of Massa, and, after a couple of princes from the German area had also proposed themselves, in the end the choice for the candidacy fell on Ercole Rinaldo d'Este, the last scion of the Modena dynasty, who was even two years younger than Maria Teresa. For the House of Este, the two small Tuscan states would mean regaining a coveted access to the sea (after the loss of the Duchy of Ferrara a century and a half earlier).

For some years, however, the regent Ricciarda Gonzaga proved adamant in refusing to consider further candidatures, given the still childish age of her daughter. And this despite the fact that, for her part, she had not yet completely renounced her aspirations on her family's ancestral County of Novellara and Bagnolo, an imperial fief left vacant by the childless death of her brother  (and now temporarily entrusted to her administration), which put her in a position to depend on the emperor's favour.

When the little duchess turned 12 in 1737, the emperor insisted again: Ricciarda's uncle, Marquis  (1678 –1752), was once again instructed to return to Massa and reopen the negotiations, also on behalf of the new Duke of Modena, Francesco III d'Este, father of the groom. This time the regent consented and matrimonial agreements were signed on 20 March 1738. The bride was given a dowry of one hundred thousand scudi, but the Duke of Modena, for his part, undertook to increase by twenty thousand scudi, with his own funds, each of the dowries established for Maria Teresa's two younger sisters by their late father. After the marriage, the duchess should associate her husband in the government of her states, while the Duke of Modena, who in 1737 had received the imperial investiture of the county of Novellara and Bagnolo, undertook to implement, in favour of Ricciarda Gonzaga, the separation of her family's allodial estates from the feudal rights, and, again after the marriage, to leave her the full governance of the fiefdom for life, "so that the transferor would retain but his sovereign rights, of which he may not divest himself."

The marriage, still, had to be postponed until 1741 so that the young Este would at least approach the threshold of 14 years. The wedding was finally celebrated by proxy in Massa on 16 April, with Maria Teresa's great-uncle, Carlo Filiberto d'Este-San Martino representing her husband, but the bride remained in her homeland until autumn, starting an intense correspondence with the duke, her father-in-law, which showed the favour and good disposition with which she had welcomed the marriage.

Relations between the two young spouses immediately proved stormy. Ercole Rinaldo, who had been forced into marriage by his father, showed from the beginning a profound and radical intolerance towards his wife (which over time even grew into disgust). He would make public displays of contempt towards her, threatening to send her back to Massa, and also invited her to have their marriage annulled for once and for all: «Look, I understand that you are not for me and I am not for you, so tell the Duke that I will be content». In the desperate letter reporting these words from her husband that she sent to her great-uncle less than a year after her wedding, the duchess complained about the treatment inflicted upon her, adding:

The couple's relationships continued to be tense at least until mid-1745, also due to the extra-marital excesses of Ercole Rinaldo, an unrepentant teenage womanizer, who shamelessly lived his affairs in the light of day, and despite Maria Teresa's repeated appeals to her father-in-law and the tellings-off he gave to his son (even if the duke was not exactly a figure to be taken as a model in terms of correct marital relations). Later, though, from the correspondence of the duchess, who in the meantime had fled to Venice with her husband following the Austro-Piedmontese occupation of the duchy (which lasted until 1748), an unexpected notable change emerges in their life as a couple. «I will tell you — Maria Teresa wrote to her father-in-law in December 1746, — that I am very happy with the prince, as he has completely changed, and has modified his manners [...] You will have the consolation when you come of seeing us get along together in very good harmony."

The results of this apparent newfound "harmony" were seen in 1750, when the two finally managed to father their first and only daughter, Maria Beatrice, but it also proved to be short-lived. When Maria Teresa gave birth to their only son in 1753 (who died few months later), it was already generally believed that the deterioration in their mutual relations would not make the birth of further offspring possible; which would most likely bring about the extinction of the main branch of the House of Este as a consequence of the fact that Salic law excluded Maria Beatrice, as a woman, from the succession. Thus, in the same year 1753 the fate of Maria Beatrice was decided: with a double treaty with the House of Habsburg-Lorraine the little princess of less than three years was engaged to Empress Maria Theresa's third son, who was also designated as successor by the Duke of Modena in the event of the Este male line's extinction. In exchange, the Habsburgs undertook never to simply annex the Este duchies to their own domains but to preserve their distinct state identity as a sort of tertiogeniture under the new dynasty of Austria-Este.

Maria Teresa and Ercole Rinaldo then separated de facto and the occasional complaints forwarded by Maria Teresa increasingly tended to reveal the woman's relief from the awareness that they would not produce results. Finally, in January 1768, Ercole Rinaldo formally asked his father for separation from his wife, which therefore became, as it were, official. Maria Teresa then tried to distance herself, as much as possible, from the court, regularly visiting her Tuscan states in the summer and withdrawing more and more often to Reggio Emilia, capital of the second of the Este duchies, where she took up residence in the "ancient Palazzo della Cittadella". From 1771, her stay in Reggio Emilia became permanent, with only rare formal appearances in Modena, been only cheered up by the visits of her daughter Maria Beatrice and her son-in-law Ferdinand Karl of Habsburg-Lorraine.

In June 1744, having reached the age of majority, she had been invested of the Duchy of Massa and Principality of Carrara by Emperor Charles VII and had received full powers from her mother, but the latter continued to assist her during her absences until she died in Massa in 1768.

Death
Maria Teresa died on 29 December 1790 in Reggio Emilia, at the age of 65, and was buried in the Basilica della Ghiara.

She was succeeded by her daughter in all her titles.

Family
Maria Teresa and Ercole III had 2 children:

Maria Beatrice Ricciarda (7 April 1750  14 November 1829); married Archduke Ferdinand Karl in 1771, and became the Archduchess of Austria-Este. Had issue.
Rinaldo Francesco (4 January 1753  5 May 1753); died in infancy.

KMFM Thanet is an Independent Local Radio serving the Isle of Thanet and the surrounding areas in Kent, South East England. It is the Thanet region of the KMFM radio network (owned by the KM Group), containing local advertisements and sponsorships for the area amongst a countywide schedule of programming.

History
KMFM Thanet began life as Thanet Local Radio (TLR 107.2), founded by Alan Mackay, Ken Wills and Pete Willson (now station manager at Academy FM (Thanet)), and launching in January 1998 from studios at Margate harbour. The launch was not without drama – four months prior, the Radio Authority gave the station the green light on the licence after some alleged internal legal wrangles between the company's directors.

Pete Willson was the first voice on-air; the first song to be played was Take That's "Back For Good", with reggae star Pato Banton recording a special version of his duet with UB40, "Baby Come Back", for the station's launch. The station's line-up was largely unchanged for five years.

TLR was originally owned by a consortium of local investors, with local businessman Ken Wills being the majority shareholder. The KM Group took control of TLR in 1999, and subsequently bought out the other investors in March 2003; rebranding the station to KMFM Thanet and relocating it to their own premises in Cliftonville. Following the arrival of the county-wide breakfast, all KMFM programming is now broadcast from Medway.

It was the first station to be fully owned by the KM Group.

The licence was readvertised in September 2008, with the KM Group reawarded it.

Like the rest of the KMFM network, the station was relaunched in September 2010 with new jingles, schedule changes and more emphasis on music.

The KMFM network switched to a contemporary hit radio format in 2012 following the merging of KMFM Extra with KMFM. The music now focuses mainly on Top 40 hits, and contains a lot more dance and R&B than before.

Programming
All programming across the KMFM network is now shared across all seven stations following OFCOM approval in February 2012. The local breakfast show, by then the only local show on the station, was replaced by a county-wide show on 12 March 2012.

Until 2007 KMFM Thanet produced its own programmes during daytimes, before it joined up with KMFM Canterbury to network all programmes other than breakfast. The stations joined with KMFM Ashford and KMFM Shepway and White Cliffs Country to create an East Kent network in April 2009, before all programmes apart from weekday/Saturday breakfast and Sunday afternoons were networked across all KMFM stations in September 2009. In July 2010, Saturday breakfast and Sunday afternoons became networked.

News bulletins are provide by KMFM News Centre in the Medway studios, and national news by Sky News Radio at other times.

Notable presenters

Former presenters include Doc Atherton, Tony Blackburn, Nigel Harris, Dominic King. Johnny Lewis, Tom Lowe, Dave Pearce, Myma Seldon, Benedict Smith and Melanie Sykes.

The Langoliers is a horror miniseries consisting of two parts of 1½ hours each. It was directed and written by Tom Holland and based on the novella by Stephen King from the four-part anthology book Four Past Midnight. The series was produced by Mitchell Galin and David R. Kappes, for Laurel Entertainment, Inc. The miniseries originally aired May 14–15, 1995 on the ABC network.

Plot
During a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Boston, a passenger plane flies through a strange light that causes most of the passengers and crew to disappear, leaving behind only their personal belongings. The remaining passengers, who were asleep at the time, include pilot Brian Engle, deadheading on the flight, along with a mysterious Englishman named Nick, schoolteacher Laurel Stevenson, tool and die worker Don Gaffney, violinist Albert Kaussner, troubled teen Bethany Sims, mystery author Bob Jenkins, blind girl Dinah Bellman, sleepy businessman Rudy Warwick, and mentally ill executive Craig Toomy.

After failing to establish communication with either air traffic control or other flights, Brian is able to land at Bangor International Airport, where the group finds the airport deserted and without power. They soon discover that everything around them is dull and lifeless, with matches failing to light, sounds lacking echo, and food having no taste. Dinah reports hearing a strange sound in the distance, while Bob postulates they may have passed through an aurora borealis and entered a time rip, sending them a few minutes into the past. Dinah, who has some telepathic ability, warns the others about Craig, who becomes increasingly unstable and violent after finding a gun in an airport locker. Nick and Albert subdue him after discovering that the strange environment has rendered the gun's bullets harmless.

Albert discovers that the "present time" is still on the plane, and objects brought from the airport regain normal behavior after a short time once on-board. As Brian prepares to refuel and take off in the hope of returning to normal time, others attempt to find Craig, who has escaped; upon discovery, he stabs Dinah and Don, killing the latter. As the group board the now nearly refuelled plane, they encounter strange creatures that consume everything, including time. Craig had previously referred to the creatures as Langoliers, which Bob deduces feed on time which has passed. Dinah psychically convinces Craig that his meeting has moved from Boston to here, which affords them valuable extra time to prepare the plane for take-off upon the arrival of the Langoliers, who chase Craig into the terminal building before devouring him.

As the plane takes off, they witness the Langoliers consuming the airport behind them. Dinah dies while recalling her connection with Craig, and as the plane approaches a time rip, Bob realizes that they survived their first trip through the rift while asleep and could disappear if they pass through it awake. Nick, now revealing that he was a government assassin on a mission, volunteers to stay awake while the others are knocked unconscious, to restore pressure just before entering the rip. After asking Laurel to travel to London to explain this to his estranged father, Nick disappears as the plane enters the rift, while Brian awakens shortly after to land the plane in Los Angeles.

Upon landing, the passengers realize that they may be a few minutes ahead of the present time, noting the return of sound and smell. With the present time stream catching up to them, they watch as other people blur into view before rejoining the present time stream.

Production

Pre-production
For scenes on the plane, the production team acquired a retired Lockheed L-1011 TriStar aircraft from Japan which was cut up into several pieces and transported to set, where it was re-assembled to appear intact. At the time, there was no other similar mock-up anywhere else in the country, which allowed the possibility of being rented for other purposes post-production. The cockpit was removed and attached to a hydraulic apparatus which could be maneuvered in a manner to simulate wind turbulence.

Filming
The miniseries was filmed almost entirely in and around the Bangor International Airport in Bangor, Maine (author King's hometown) during the summer of 1994. Producer David Kappes noted that the crew considered using an airport in Pittsburgh and a newly opened one in Denver, both of which were closed and therefore suitable for filming, but decided against them due to a desire to bring reality to the story and film in the airport where the series takes place. The film crew used a cold war-era bomber hangar, although final scenes were shot in a functional waiting area within the airport.

Real passengers were able to observe rehearsals although numerous close encounters between actors and tourists were reported. Due to jet noise from aircraft, a considerable budget was provided to re-record voices and over-loop in post-production.

Post production
Filming wrapped in September 1994, around two months after production began. The cost to produce the miniseries according to Charles Miller, production manager, was estimated in the region of $3 million to $5 million, although costs were kept lower due to the compact location of the airport and set. The cast and crew stayed in the Bangor Airport Marriot Hotel, filling 40 rooms. The numbers of cast and crew exceeded 130, as well as roughly 175 extras who all lived locally.

Reception

Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave it a "B" rating, calling it an episode of The Twilight Zone stretched out to four hours, [but] nonetheless does have its moments. TV Guide gave it one out of five stars, calling it tedious and boring, criticizing its "dull" script, "cardboard characters", "ludicrous special effects", and its "dishwatery cast, [with the sole exception of] Pinchot, who rolls his eyes like an alien thespian from the Planet Ham". Variety found the first three hours of the series work well, but that it falls apart when the monster is revealed. The book Stephen King Films FAQ asserted that Bronson Pinchot "chews more scenery than all of the Langoliers put together".

The series did very well for ABC, finishing among the top 5 in the weekly ratings.

Shri Kutch Satsang Swaminarayan Temple (Harrow) is a Swaminarayan Temple in the London Borough of Harrow. When opened in 1976, the temple was originally located at Vaughan Road, West Harrow. It was moved to the Kenton area of Harrow in 1996 to accommodate the growing congregation. The temple comes under the NarNarayan Dev Gadi of the Swaminarayan Sampraday.

 A day care centre for the elderly. The work which includes a reading area, meditation areas, library, dining room, kitchen and an office was started in 2004 and was completed in time for the 10th anniversary.

10th Anniversary

About 6,000 people turned up to celebrate the 10th anniversary in 2006–07. Bronze idols, usually displayed inside the temple, were paraded on floats, while dancers and musicians performed in the streets. Marquees help take the edge of the cold as people danced and sang. Police set up road diversions along Roe Green Park, Kingsbury High Road and Kenton Lane to cope with the large crowds and the two-hour event passed without any trouble. The event was attended by Harrow East MP and Minister of State for Employment and Welfare Reform, Tony McNulty and a number of local councillors. Road closures were in operation at Kenton Lane and Kingsbury High Road up to Roe Green for the event.

Charity walks

The temple has regularly organised charity walks to raise money for various causes. In 2005, the temple organised a Charity walk in aid of victims of the South Asian tsunami victims. Harrow West MP Gareth Thomas, Mayor of Harrow, Councillor Lurline Champagnie and the Leader of Harrow Council, Councillor Navin Shah took part in the event. In 2008, the temple youth wing organised a charity walk in aid of Welldon Activity Group (one of the Mayor of Harrow's chosen charities) and Kenton-based St Luke's Hospice. The route chosen was from the Harrow Civic Centre to the temple. The walk raised nearly £50,000 for the two causes.

A referendum on a draft constitution was held in the Cayman Islands on 20 May 2009 alongside general elections. The new constitution was approved by 63% of voters, and by the Privy Council on 10 June.

Background
Since around 2000 the Cayman Islands had sought a new constitution, in order to cement the United Kingdom's possession of the islands. On 22 May 2008 the Caymanian government had announced the question and that it was aiming to hold the referendum in July. However, following an announcement on 27 June, the referendum was postponed until the 2009 general elections in order to give time to negotiate and agree the constitution with the UK. The negotiations took place in January and February 2009 and a consultation started in the islands on 11 February 2009.

On 24 February the Legislative Assembly passed the Referendum (Constitutional Modernisation) Bill, 2009. The referendum was to be held in accordance with Article 29, paragraph 2 of the constitution, and required a majority to pass.

The Euphrates class was a five-ship class of iron screw troopships built for the Royal Navy during the 1860s. They were used for carrying troops to India, with two of them being later hulked and surviving into the early 20th Century.

Design
The Crimean War and Indian Mutiny in the 1850s both required that large numbers of troops be moved across the globe at short notice.  Although for both these conflicts commercial shipping companies were able to fulfil all the immediate requirements, it became apparent that there were severe handicaps to the system; in particular the availability of commercial shipping for trooping could not be guaranteed. It was decided to set up a regular service of Government transports and the Navy was ordered to build five specially-designed troopships.

With the Suez Canal due to be opened in 1869, the class was designed within the constraints of the new waterway.  Designed to carry an entire battalion of infantry, the result was a magnificent barque-rigged steamer of considerable size; with a top speed of 15 knots, and able to take the direct route via the Suez Canal, they were able to reduce the length of the voyage significantly, but perhaps more importantly, the uncertainty in the time needed to make the journey round the Cape of Good Hope was also reduced.

The five ships were ordered from various British shipbuilders, with  being built to a slightly different and smaller design. They were lightly armed with three 4-pounder guns, and were initially fitted with a  single-expansion trunk engine (except Serapis) and single screw, producing 700 nhp.  However the engines were refitted on all of these ships during their active careers.  was completed with a 4-cylinder horizontal compound-expansion engine, but was re-engined in 1869 with a 2-cylinder single expansion engine. 's engines were originally 3-cylinder versions, and were modified to the compound type in 1873. The two-cylinder engines of  and  were also replaced with compound engines in 1873.  was also re-engined, albeit somewhat later than her sisters.

Career
The ships spent most of their active careers conveying British troops to and from the Indian subcontinent, although other voyages were made, most notably to Canada. Obsolete by the mid-1890s, Serapis, Euphrates and Crocodile were sold for breaking up. Malabar became a base ship at Bermuda in 1897, and was renamed HMS Terror in 1901. She was put on the disposal list in 1914 and was sold off in 1918, while Jumna survived as a coal hulk, eventually being sold off in 1922.

Ships

Identification
All the ships of the class could be distinguished by a different coloured hull band, with Crocodile wearing yellow, Euphrates blue, Jumna red, Malabar black and Serapis green.  Jumna’s blue hull band was to become the traditional identification feature for HM troopships.

Samuel Morton Zulick (March 1, 1824 - June 10, 1876) was a Union Army officer and medical doctor during the American Civil War.

Zulick's father was a native of Frankfurt am Main while his mother was a native of Philadelphia. His son, Philip S. Zulick, served in the 45th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment.

On May 15, 1861, he enlisted as private with the 29th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He was promoted to captain three months later. He was promoted to major after the Battle of Antietam and to lieutenant colonel after the Battle of Chancellorsville. He served at the Battle of Gettysburg and during Sherman's March to the Sea.

On January 13, 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated Zulick for appointment to the grade of brevet brigadier general of volunteers, to rank from March 13, 1865, for "bravery and efficiency as an officer" and the United States Senate confirmed the appointment on March 12, 1866.

Kirkby Wharfe is a village  south of Tadcaster, in North Yorkshire, England. The village is in the civil parish of Kirkby Wharfe with North Milford and within Selby District Council.

The area around Kirkby Wharfe was settled in Roman times, with a permanent settlement being started in the 8th century. The village is recorded in the Domesday Book as being Chirchebi (church village), and both the village and Grimston Park came under the influence of the Baron of Pontefract at the time of Domesday.

The village is only  away from Ulleskelf which has a railway station on the York to Pontefract Line. The nearest public bus service runs from Ulleskelf with 5 buses a day between Tadcaster and Pontefract.

A small area east of the village is a designated SSSI. First notified in 1984, the SSSI details that the floodplain of the River Wharfe is an important site for marshland and the associated plants that grow on marshland around Dorts Dike (a tributary of the Wharfe that enters the river at Ulleskelf).

The church, built in the 12th and 14th centuries serves as the parish church for the Ecclesiastical Parish of Kirkby Wharfe and Ulleskelfe[sic]. The former St Saviours at Ulleskelf village is now the Village Hall.

West of the village is Grimston Park Estate which was the former seat of Lord Londesborough from 1851 to 1872 when it was acquired by the Fielden family.

Equilibrio (known as Katamuki Spirits in Japan) is a video game, published and developed by DK Games for WiiWare. The WiiWare version was released in North America on April 6, 2009, in the PAL regions on April 10, 2009 and in Japan on April 27, 2010. An iOS version was also released in April 2009 and was ported by Fishing Cactus.

Equilibrio was inspired by and incorporated code from a similar shareware game named Fragile Ball.

Gameplay
The game involves players tilting their Wii Remote (or iOS device), or leaning on their Wii Balance Board from side to side in order to guide a ball through a horizontal maze and into an exit pod. Instead of directly controlling the ball, the player's actions rotate the entire play area around the ball.

The game features 5 different types of balls to guide, each with unique properties that alter the way they handle, and over 60 levels with difficulty gradually adjusted based on the player's skill level. The WiiWare version also features 4 player simultaneous multiplayer.

Alex Blignaut (30 November 1932 in Johannesburg – 15 January 2001 in Honeydew, Johannesburg) was a racing driver and motor racing team owner from South Africa.

Career
Blignaut raced locally in South Africa for many years and made two appearances in the Formula One Rand Grand Prix under the "Team Valencia" banner, in 1963 and 1964, finishing 12th on both occasions. He also entered the 1965 South African Grand Prix, a World Championship event, but withdrew before the meeting took place.

He later turned to team ownership, setting up the "Alex Blignaut Racing Team" and entering cars in the South African Formula One Championship throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, earning many race wins. Among the drivers who competed for Blignaut were Eddie Keizan and Ian Scheckter. Keizan also drove Blignaut's Tyrrell 004 in the World Championship South African Grands Prix in 1973 and 1974.

Blignaut was later secretary of SAMRaC (South African Motor Racing Club), the club which organised the South African Grand Prix at Kyalami. He died in 2001 after an accident on his farm, when he electrocuted himself while repairing a piece of machinery.
