The Arsenal Training Centre, often referred to as its geographical location London Colney in Hertfordshire, is the training ground of Arsenal Football Club. It houses ten full-size pitches, an indoor facility and a medical and rehabilitation centre.

Constructed after manager Arsène Wenger campaigned for Arsenal to replace its existing University College London groundshare site, it opened in October 1999 at a cost of £10 million. The training centre was financed by the transfer of Nicolas Anelka to Real Madrid.

As well as accommodating Arsenal's first team and youth teams, the centre from 2003 to 2012 acted as the training base for the England national football team before home internationals and friendlies. It has attracted criticism from local residents over environmental and catchment issues.

History and development
When Arsène Wenger joined Arsenal in October 1996, he attempted to organise an extra training session at University College London Union (UCLU) Sports Grounds in Shenley, for the benefit of getting to know his players. Wenger was told that the ground – owned by UCL, was reserved for its students, which left him not knowing “whether to laugh or cry”. A few weeks after, a fire partially burnt down the training centre, causing £50,000 worth of damage. Arsenal temporarily rehoused their training base to the Sopwell House Hotel in St Albans. Wenger, dismayed by the arrangement, campaigned for a purpose-built, Arsenal-owned ground that housed the latest training equipment. This was one of the "important decisions" he wanted to make for the club – "Without an assurance of that freedom and control I would not have stayed."

By February 1998, Hertsmere Borough Council had granted consent for Arsenal to build a training centre on greenfield land, adjacent to a local school, in the Bell Lane area, London Colney. It is situated adjacent to the former facilities at the Shenley UCLU Sports Grounds, which Watford Football Club use for training purposes. They concluded it was “essential to support the training facility”, that it would replace an existing building used by the club and that Arsenal's community work “constituted exceptional circumstances”. The plans were referred to the Environment Secretary John Prescott, who ratified it, in spite of the site being within the green belt. Planning permission was obtained in September 1998.

Richard Marshall and Dearle & Henderson designed the training ground and its facilities. Wenger was "heavily involved" in the process – “even down to the kitchens” and shared ideas from his time as Nagoya Grampus manager, when the club itself was building its own training centre. As part of a fact-finding mission, club representatives visited other training facilities around Europe, such as Bayern Munich and Auxerre. Arsenal's physiotherapist Gary Lewin and fitness coach Tony Colbert were involved in their respective areas. The project, transforming a 140-acre site, was completed in 45 weeks at a cost of £10 million. Arsenal financed this through the transfer of Nicolas Anelka to Real Madrid for £22.5 million in August 1999.

The Arsenal Training Centre was opened by Sports Minister Kate Hoey on 11 October 1999. Chairman Peter Hill-Wood described it as “simply superb”, while Wenger felt it acted as a "big attraction" for players to come to Arsenal. Unlike before, the training centre was open to the first team squad and youth teams for training simultaneously, which in Wenger's words gave Arsenal a “stronger feeling of togetherness”. The club have since expanded the training centre to include a press briefing building, as well as an indoor pitch facility. During development work in August 2006, an artillery shell was found near the site which led to the surrounding area being evacuated.

Facilities
The training centre covers an area of . In all, there are ten full-size pitches at the site. Inside the complex there are training and rehabilitation areas, physiotherapy and massage rooms and remedial and hydrotherapy pools. There are also squash/basketball courts, sauna, steam and weight rooms, a restaurant for staff and players, conference rooms, offices, classrooms and a TV studio to interview players and staff for Arsenal TV.

All ten pitches have undersoil drainage and an automated sprinkler system. In addition, two have undersoil heating. Each pitch is built to match the playing surface specifications of the Emirates Stadium. Three of the pitches are reserved for the Arsenal youth team, three for the reserves and three for the first team. The tenth pitch is where first team friendlies and Under-18 league fixtures take place.

A medical and rehabilitation centre was completed in October 2011, tailored to meet the needs of the Arsenal players. The centre houses apparatus such as an anti-gravity treadmill and a range of screening equipment. Players returning from injury are able to focus on their rehabilitation "in a separate, specialised space", with medical staff on hand. Extra training pitches are also set to be laid. In February 2015 Arsenal ordered 1,400 m2 of artificial grass from the Swiss company called Tisca Tiara for the training pitch.

In March 2015, Arsenal announced plans for a major redevelopment of its training centre. The plans included expanding and upgrading the main building, constructing a player performance centre, and refurbishing the visitors, educational and media centre.  Specific gym improvements include new 40m running tracks. New offices and meeting rooms were to be built for the scouting team, academy staff, and data analysis personnel. Upgraded training medical and training facilities include a spa, a cryochamber, and ice baths. The project was supported by the Sport England with planning approval given by the Hertsmere borough council planning committee. Project completion is scheduled for the beginning of the 2017–18 season.

Criticism
The ground has attracted criticism from local residents. A parish council meeting in October 2001 revealed that Arsenal players had not been involved with local initiatives, despite claims during its planning phase that the ground would allow the club to develop links with the local community. Shenley Primary School reportedly failed to receive any visits from players despite repeated requests. The club responded by pointing to initiatives by its Ladies team to organise competitions at local grounds. Plans to develop new buildings and road links to the site were challenged by residents four years later; they believed it would lead to increased traffic and noise pollution in the area.

In March 2006, The Daily Telegraph noted Arsenal's failure to develop young English players following a UEFA Champions League tie against Juventus, in which they did not use a single English player. According to desk research, youth team opportunities was a main reason the club obtained planning permission for the centre. Arsenal cited in a statement: "The Bell Lane site is within the Arsenal 'catchment area' and the club already has a very active youth policy in the area. In particular, the club currently works closely with 12 local clubs which would be maintained and enhanced if the Bell Lane proposal were to go ahead."

Other uses
The England national football team frequently trained at the ground when preparing for games in London; the agreement with Arsenal began in March 2003. They have since 2012 relocated their training base to St George's Park National Football Centre. Arsenal's training ground was used by the national team in November 2013, for the friendlies against Chile and Germany after St George's Park reported a stomach bug.

For the UEFA Champions League final that took place at Wembley Stadium in 2011, Barcelona used the centre's facilities to train. American Football side St. Louis Rams trained at London Colney in preparation for the 2012 NFL International Series in London.

In November 2009, the ground held a tournament between teams of colleagues from eight local organisations, which raised £1,500 for charity.

Flight to Rhythm, also known as The Delora Bueno Show, was an early American television program which aired on the DuMont Television Network, and was produced by Bob Loewi (1911–1981), son of DuMont executive Mortimer Loewi (1888–1967) .

Broadcast history
The series ran from March to September 1949, and was a musical program hosted by Brazilian vocalist and musician Delora Bueno (1925–2012). The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, was originally titled The Delora Bueno Show, and aired Thursday nights at 7pm ET on most DuMont affiliates.

In May, the series was retitled Flight to Rhythm and was expanded to thirty minutes. The revamped production was set in a fictional Brazilian nightclub called "Club Rio" with Nick the Bartender (Ralph Statley) hosting each episode. In addition to Bueno, Flight featured Larry Carr and the Miguelito Valdés Orchestra. The program aired on Sunday nights at 6:30pm ET during the summer, and moved to Thursday at 8pm ET in August.

Episode status
Two episodes, the March 10 premiere and the May 15, 1949 episode, are in the Paley Center for Media collection.

The 1980 College Football All-America team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various organizations that chose College Football All-America Teams in 1980.

The NCAA recognizes four selectors as "official" for the 1980 season.  They are (1) the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), (2) the Associated Press (AP), (3) the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), and (4) the United Press International (UPI). The AP, UPI, and FWAA teams were selected by polling of sports writers and/or broadcasters. The AFCA team was based on a poll of coaches.  Other notable selectors, though not recognized by the NCAA as official, included Football News, a national weekly football publication, the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), The Sporting News (TSN), and the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WC).

Fourteen players were unanimous picks by all four official selectors.  Seven of the unanimous picks were offensive players: (1) South Carolina running back and 1980 Heisman Trophy winner, George Rogers; (2) Georgia running back and 1982 Heisman Trophy winner, Herschel Walker; (3) Purdue quarterback and 1980 Sammy Baugh Trophy winner, Mark Herrmann; (4) Stanford wide receiver Ken Margerum; (5) Purdue tight end Dave Young; (6) Pittsburgh tackle Mark May; and (7) Notre Dame center John Scully.  The seven unanimous picks on the defensive side were: (1) Pittsburgh defensive end Hugh Green, who won the 1980 Walter Camp Award, Maxwell Award, Lombardi Award, and Sporting News and UPI College Football Player of the Year awards; (2) Alabama defensive end E.J. Junior; (3) Houston defensive tackle Leonard Mitchell; (4) Baylor linebacker Mike Singletary; (5) North Carolina linebacker Lawrence Taylor; (6) UCLA defensive back Kenny Easley; and (7) USC defensive back Ronnie Lott.

In 1989, The New York Times published a follow-up on the 1980 AP All-America team.  The article reported that 20 of the 22 first-team players went on to play in the NFL, with 13 still active and eight having received All-Pro honors.

The Cyrtians or Kyrtians (ancient Greek (Κύρτιοι Kýrtioi, Latin Cyrtii) were an ancient tribe in historic Iran near Zagros Mountains. Based on their name, it has been suggested that they may be ancestors of the Kurds.

According to Rüdiger Schmitt, they were a tribe dwelling mainly in the mountains of Atropatenian Media (Northern Zagros Mountains) together with the Cadusii, Amardi (or "Mardi"), Tapyri, and others (Strabo 11.13.3). Strabo characterized the Cyrtians living in Persia as migrants and predatory brigands.

In the Hellenistic period, they seem to have been in demand as slingers, for they fought as such for the Median satrap Molon in his revolt against King Antiochus III in 220 BC.

The Cyrtians were not connected to the Carduchi (Cordyaei, Gordyaei, Karduchoi) and the like, who lived farther west. According to Garnik Asatrian, Cyrtians were a collection of indigenous, non-Iranian tribes who only shared a nomadic lifestyle.

Cynomya cadaverina, also known as the shiny blue bottle fly, is a member of the family Calliphoridae, which includes blow flies as well as bottle flies. In recent years, this family has become a forensically important facet in many medicocriminal investigations in the growing field of forensic entomology. C. cadaverina is specifically important in determining a post-mortem interval, as well as other important factors.

Taxonomy
Cynomya cadaverina was first described in 1830 by the French entomologist Jean-Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy. Its epithet cadaverina is derived from the Latin word, meaning ‘(that feed on) dead bodies.’ This species is a member of the order Diptera and the diverse family Calliphoridae.

Description
C. cadaverina is a fairly large species, ranging anywhere from 9-14 millimeters long. and has many characteristics that are common to its family, Calliphoridae. These characteristics include their metallic color, having bristles on their meron as well as having plumose arista. This species is known for having a shiny metallic blue abdomen for which it is named. It has a dark blue or black thorax and distinctive darker blue stripes present on the dorsum behind its head. Along with these other characteristics, C. cadaverina also has white calypters, a bare stem vein, and a parafacial with a ground color ranging from black to reddish brown with a yellow covering.

Distribution
Cynomya cadaverina is known to range throughout the Neartic region with it being found mostly in southern Canada but also in the northern United States. Despite their normal location, they have also been found in states as far south as Florida and Texas. This species is known as a cool weather species and colonizes carrion in the highest numbers in the spring and fall months. In most cases, they overwinter as adults and may enter into houses during that time.

Life cycle and development
Members of the order Diptera have a holometabolous lifecycle, meaning they go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa and imago, or adult. C. cadaverina typically has around 17 generations of offspring per year with 25 to 50 eggs per generation if the right conditions are present. Temperature can have an extreme impact on development. If the temperature gets above or below a certain temperature it can cause all development of the fly to stop. In general, the warmer it is, the faster the lifecycle will go; while if it is colder, the lifecycle may take longer than usual. This has to be taken into account when estimating the postmortem interval.

Adults of C. cadaverina lay their eggs in open wounds or natural body openings on carrion, typically in small clusters or scattered singly. The eggs usually hatch out within 24 to 72 hours depending on the season. The eggs will then hatch into larvae that will go through three instars (stages). Each one of these stages is separated by a molt. During a molt, the larvae shed its outer layer in order to accommodate for new growth that comes with increased consumption of food needed for energy stores. The first instar typically lasts for approximately 20 hours, while the second instar lasts for 16 hours followed by the third instar for 72 hours. After the larvae have completed their development and stored as much energy as possible, they disperse to a safe area to complete their next stage, the pupal stage. This stage lasts for about 9 days before the fly finally emerges as an adult. The total lifecycle of C. cadaverina can take anywhere from 17–19 days depending on the temperature.

Forensic and medical importance

Post-mortem interval estimation
PMI estimation is used to figure out how much time has elapsed since a person died by using insects to help estimate this interval. It depends on the species of insect, as some are attracted to fresh corpses while others are only attracted to the putrid and advanced stages of decomposition. This means the insects go through waves of succession. Using this information as well as the lifecycle of the insect in question can help to estimate the PMI. The judgment depends on what stage of development the insect is in, as well as the weather in recent months among other factors. Specifically with C. cadaverina, they tend to be attracted to fairly advanced stages of decomposition, while rarely being found on fresh carrion. They also tend to be in the second wave of succession, usually showing up after Lucilia spp. and Calliphora spp.

Myiasis and maggot therapy
Myiasis is the infestation of living or necrotic tissue in a living host by fly larvae. Some flies may just lay their eggs in a festering wound, while other may infest unwounded tissue. C. cadaverina has occasionally been found in cases of myiasis but is not a fly that is regularly found. Myiasis is fairly uncommon in the United States, but tends to be very common in third world countries and can create a major problem with livestock, causing severe economic losses. Myiasis is different from maggot therapy in which physicians purposely use larvae of flies that feed on necrotic tissue in order to clean up a wound and aid healing. Maggot therapy can clean up a wound that has been festering for months very quickly.

Mitochondrial DNA analysis
In recent years, there have been numerous research projects on the topic of mitochondrial DNA analysis in fly larvae. In cases where larvae have fed on human tissue, these larvae are collected and then the gut is dissected out. The mitochondrial DNA from the gut is analyzed and can lead to the identification of the corpse the maggot was feeding on as well as the species of the maggot itself. This information could be critical if the body was too decomposed to lead to identification, or in other situations where identification would be near to impossible. Research concerning mitochondrial DNA analysis is currently being conducted on C. cadaverina in order to aid in investigations.

Disease transmission
Cynomya cadaverina has been found to demonstrate communicative behavior via clustering and aggregation. It has been described by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as being a part of the "filthy fly" category, as it tends to breed in excrement and thrives in filthy habitats. This fly can also pose a health hazard due to the transmission of enteric pathogens that can lead to foodborne diseases in humans.

Future research
Further research is being conducted on Cynomya cadaverina to gain more information on its lifecycle as well as its behavior in order to better pinpoint time of death with postmortem interval estimation. This information will further aid forensic entomologists as well as investigators in solving medicocriminal investigations. Also, continued research on mitochondrial DNA analysis will be able to provide more identifications in cases where identification may have seemed impossible. Although Cynomya cadaverina is not as forensically or medically important as some of the other species of fly, it can still be a powerful tool in investigations as well as aid in maggot therapy.

Okpofe is an autonomous community located in Ezinihitte Mbaise local government area (LGA), in Imo State, Nigeria with common boundaries with Itu, Ezeagbogu, Ihitte, Amumara and Oboama autonomous communities. Okpofe is the centre of the Ezinihitte Mbaise clan, and it is the only town in Ezinihitte Mbaise that does not share a boundary with another local government area in Imo State. It is quite a unique town in Ezinihitte. It is also on record that the Roman Catholic Church was first established in Okpofe town in the year 1918 when the first crop of missionaries brought to the town held the first Catholic mass at the shrine of Inyama Oguegbe Ajero, who himself was the Second Paramount King of the ancient town after Chief Mbagwu. Ezinihitte Mbaise (by 2018, the town marked the centenary celebration of the existence of the Roman Catholic Church in Okpofe.) The Anglican Juniorate in Mbaise is located in Okpofe too.

Its first traditional ruler in the modern era was the late Eze Ewulonu Modestus C. Anyankah, who ascended the throne at the age of 42, born by an Umuimee daughter to an Okwu man. Today, the traditional affairs of the town are under the care of His Royal Highness Eze Sir Reginald Jesse Chukwuma Aguwamba, who has been described as "the man of the people", and whose uncle was the last warrant chief that also crowned the late Eze Anyankah in the late 1970s. Eze Reginald Aguwamba was born by an Umuimee man. (Take note of the importance of this village Umuimee in the history of Ezeship in Okpofe). A surveyor by profession, Eze Aguwamba retired voluntarily from the Owerri Capital Development Authority to serve his fatherland as the Eze Oha II. He has, so far, led the community to an enviable position in the Oji Ezinihitte Festival that no other community in the clan has attained during the 2013 Oji Festival at Okpofe and the recently concluded one at Ezeagbogu. Within his first few months in office, some other developmental projects from the Imo State Government came into Okpofe.

The story of Okpofe cannot be complete without mention of the late Sydney Ngozi Njoku. He almost single-handedly built Okpofe Secondary School, Okpofe Town Hall and the Okpofe Post Office. He made immense financial contributions for these projects. He undertook and concluded several human and structural developmental projects in Okpofe, Ezinihitte and Imo State at large. "Singoz", as he was popularly called, died in 1982 at the age of 42 years.
Also the contribution of late Hon Chief Dr Athanasius Nwaogazi Awuja JP MON who was born on November 7th 1933 to the family of late chief awuja eke of umueche, Chukwuoma Okpofe .a role model emulated by several Okpofe sons and daughters,he highly promoted technical education,many parents advised their wards to be as diligent in study as nwogazi awuja.he above all gave scholarships to many children of Okpofe who are today prominent citizens of Nigeria.
Chief A N awuja and his Lolo madam Grace u awuja (nne ebegbulem enyinna) established the sacred Heart Hospital Okpofe to afford women opportunity for health care within their locality.
In recognition of his immeasurable spirit of patriotism,philanthropism and generous contribution to the development of Okpofe autonomous community ,late HRH Eze E.M.C anyankah ezeoha 1 of Okpofe on 26th of December 1985 conferred on him a chieftaincy title as the aladimma of Okpofe.
In 1993, he received another honour from the imo state government as JUSTICE OF PEACE
To crown it all the president of the federal republic of Nigeria-His excellency,Olusegun Obasanjo conferred on him a national honour of MON in 2006

Alkap () is a Bengali folk dance popular in the districts of Murshidabad, Malda and Birbhum in West Bengal and Chapai Nawabganj, Randajshahi in Bangladesh. It has also spread to the adjoining areas of Jharkhand and Bihar such as Dumka and Purnia.

Etymology
Kaap means 'kavya' (verse) and Aal means 'part of the verse'. Another meaning of the word Aal is 'sharp'. The word Kaap is also one of the many meanings of 'sam' - a distorted form of gesture in the arena, or an image of a humorous comedian or social ugly subject.

Form
Alkap is an amalgamation of music, dance and theatrical presentation. An alkap group of ten to twelve performers is led by a sarkar (master) or guru (leader) and includes two or three young men called chhokras, one or two gayens or singers, dohar, choristers, and musicians. Alkap is presented in five parts: Asar Vandana, Chhora, Kaap, Baithaki Gaan and Khemta Pala. The programme is a reflection of rural society and puts the focus on the prevailing socio-economic condition of the rural masses.

In popular culture
Syed Mustafa Siraj's novel Mayamrdanga is about an Alkap team.

Tadhg Olltach Ó an Cháinte, Irish poet, fl. c. 1601.

A member of the Ó an Cháintighe bardic family, and a relative of Fear Feasa Ó'n Cháinte, Tadhg Olltach is probably to be identified with 'Teige on Canty, of Clansheane', mentioned in a fiant of Elizabeth I dated 14 May 1601, along with his wife, 'Margaret ny Fynan'. Slanshane appears as part of the Carbery lands of Mac Carrthaigh Riabhach in an inquisition of 1636, showing that it compromised the northern part of the parish of Desertserges, County Cork.

Tadgh is almost solely known by the poem Torchoir ceól Cloinne Cathoil, a lament for Conchubhar Mac Conghalaigh, harper to Domhnall Ó Donnabháin, lord of Clann Chathail from 1584 until his death in 1639.

Trivia

Ó an Cháinte's first name, Tadhg means 'poet' or 'philosopher'.  Olltach is a cognomen.

No Time to Bleed is the second studio album by American deathcore band Suicide Silence. It was released on June 30, 2009 through Century Media Records. The album was released in five different editions; the standard version, the Exclusive Hot Topic Edition, the iTunes edition, the vinyl edition, and the Maximum Bloodshed Edition. Upon its release, it debuted at number 32 on the Billboard 200, selling 14,001 copies in the United States alone. It is Suicide Silence's most critically acclaimed album and was re-released as No Time to Bleed: Body Bag Edition on July 1, 2010, little over a year after the record's original pressing. No Time to Bleed is also the first release to feature bassist Dan Kenny.

Background
Suicide Silence began writing for No Time to Bleed during the first half of 2008 and planned the recording and creation of the album later that year. On June 26, 2008, vocalist Mitch Lucker appeared on the MTV Headbangers Ball blog podcast. In the interview, Lucker revealed various information and stated that No Time to Bleed would be tracked as opposed to being recorded live, such as The Cleansing. Also from the interview, he said that it would "blow The Cleansing away" along with mentioning that they selected Machine to be the producer of the album.

On March 13, 2009, Suicide Silence completed tracking for No Time to Bleed. They also uploaded behind-the-scenes videos of the recording being processed on their YouTube channel. On April 20, 2009 the band uploaded the song "Lifted" onto their MySpace profile. Suicide Silence made a surprise appearance at the 11th annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and played the song "Wake Up". On June 1, 2009, the band uploaded "Wake Up" song onto their official merchandise page for streaming.

The standard, iTunes, Hot Topic, vinyl and Maximum Bloodshed editions of No Time to Bleed were released on June 30, 2009. Music videos have been created for the songs "Wake Up", "Genocide" and "Disengage". The music video for "Wake Up" was the first released from the album, it made its worldwide premiere through Fearnet on July 27, 2009, and was directed by David Brodski. "Genocide" was released as the album's first single on October 20, 2009 and spawned a music video that was created in collaboration with Bloody Disgusting to which led to its release on November 8, 2009. Prior to its release as a single, a remix for the song was created and featured in the film Saw VI. "Disengage" was released as the album's second single on April 20, 2010. The band made an announcement that a music video was in production for it during April and led to its release in June of that year.

In June, an announcement was made directly from the band that a re-release of the album was expected and would be known as No Time to Bleed: Body Bag Edition. The reissue was released on June 1, 2010. It includes a DVD which features previously unreleased live footage along with promotional videos of the album along with alternate artwork and packaging.

Lyrics and musical themes
In an interview prior to the recording of No Time to Bleed, Lucker stated that the lyrics to the album would be more focused on his personal problems instead of the previous subjects that were mainly about religion and politics on their first album The Cleansing. He also made a reference to this change in the song "Suffer", with the lyrics "A ruthless cleansing has already begun and it's time to move on".

The track "...And Then She Bled" consists of a recreation of a 911 emergency phone call recorded on February 16, 2009. A woman, Charla Nash, was attacked by a domesticated chimpanzee named Travis. It is composed of the scenario broken up into parts with the band members of Suicide Silence performing instrumental music that is appropriate to the situation included in the initial recording.

Reception

No Time to Bleed debuted at #32 on the Billboard Top 200, selling 14,000 copies in the U.S. alone shortly after its release.

Critical reception for No Time to Bleed was generally positive. Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic gave the album a rating of 4 out of 5 and praised the vocals and musicianship. He directly stated that there is a "surprisingly varied array of guitar riff textures, liable to impress the likes of Dimebag Darrell or Tool's Adam Jones. He followed along with saying "Cap this off with an instinctive nose for songwriting economy (no overlabored epics for this band) and lyrics that, while simplistic and even repetitive, at times (e.g. 'Wake Up' and the title track), are also both refreshingly direct and intelligible."

Jim Burt of Rock Sound gave the album a 9 out of 10 and opened his review by generally focusing on the overall delivery, describing that Suicide Silence have "mixed up the blast beats with super-size helpings of mammoth slow groove and extra brutal beatdowns, a tasty addition to their already formidable arsenal." He then closed his review stating that No Time to Bleed is "a ruthless and unrelenting attack on the senses and a top-class exercise in extreme metal oppression. Spearheading the US new-wave? The sky’s the limit… Phil Freeman of Alternative Press stated that the "thunderous drums" were the "best thing about the album" and even put focus into instrumental track, "...And Then She Bled" stating that it's "a moody instrumental, reminiscent of Slipknot's quieter moments."

Delta Blues (In a Land of Cotton) is a 2001 documentary film. The movie deals with the environmental problems emanating from the drying up of the Aral Sea, and the impact this has on political relationships in the Central Asian region (especially Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan). In particular, it focuses on the document Water-related vision for the Aral Sea basin for the year 2025 by UNESCO, as presented in 2000 at the 2nd World Water Forum in The Hague. This document has been criticized for setting unrealistic goals, and also, by focusing on the entire basin (south-west Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan), for implicitly giving up on the Aral Sea and the people living downstream in Karakalpakstan.

Summary

The cause of the drying up of the Aral Sea is the extensive irrigation, used for the production of (mainly) cotton. Apart from cotton being a thirsty crop, the irrigation canals are very inefficient and much water is wasted. Furthermore, the water that is returned to the rivers is highly polluted (with pesticides and fertilizers). There is however no incentive to change the irresponsible use of water in the region. Water is an externality, regarded as given by nature or God. This leads to a situation where those (countries, regions or farms) who use most of the available water, benefit the most, but do not pay for it, leaving others (living downstream) with less and polluted water.

Whereas in most debates about accountability for water use, privatization is seen as the enemy of the people dependent on the water, many NGOs in this (former Soviet) region claim instead that the source of the water-related problems lies in the irresponsible use of water, mainly by the agricultural sector (which is still predominantly owned by the state). Many claim that this can only be changed by changing the soviet paradigm, namely by putting a price tag on water: the more water one uses and/or pollutes, the more one should pay.

Arkansas Highway 385 is a designation for two state highways in White County, Arkansas. The southern segment of  runs from Griffithville to Kensett. A northern segment of  runs from Highway 367 in Judsonia to Plainview.

Route description

Griffithville to Kensett
Highway 385 begins in Griffithville at Highway 11. The route passes two properties on the National Register of Historic Places: the J.A. Neaville House and A.J. Smith House. The route heads north to Highway 87 in Kensett, where it terminates.

Judsonia to Plainview
Arkansas Highway 385 begins in Judsonia at Highway 367. Highway 385 runs south as Judson Ave, passing the Grand Army of the Republic Memorial within Evergreen Cemetery, the Judsonia High School Gymnasium near Judsonia High School, and the Judsonia Community Building Historic District.  The route runs south until reaching the Little Red River, after which the road turns west and becomes Hopkins Dr. Highway 385 continues west, intersecting first Highway 367 and US 67/US 167 (Future I-57) further west. The highway next turns north to terminate at Highway 157 at Plainview.

Highway 385 within Judsonia was formerly US 67 City, and earlier US 67, a mainline cross-country auto route. The history is still apparent today from the numerous properties along its curbs listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History
Arkansas Highway 385 first became a state highway in 1966. The graded dirt route ran north from US 67 to Plainview. The segment in downtown Judsonia was designated U.S. Route 67 City at this time. (US 67 City was a former alignment of US 67.) The southerly route of Highway 385 was first built as a graded dirt road across Cypress Bayou in 1966, but was not yet designated a state highway. The following year, Highway 385 was paved from the US 67/US 67C intersection to Plainview. The southerly route was added to the system in 1970, and paved in 1973. In 1976, US 67 was moved slightly west into today's US 67/US 167 alignment, with the former highway becoming Highway 367. This realignment meant the US 67C needed to be redesignated, and it became Highway 385.

Presidential elections were held in Finland on 16 January 1994, with a second round on 6 February. It was the first time the President had been solely and directly elected by a popular vote. Martti Ahtisaari defeated Elisabeth Rehn in the second round.

Voter turnout was 78.4% in the first round and 78.7% in the second. This was an open presidential election, because the two-term Finnish President, Mauno Koivisto, had refused to seek a third term. His popularity had also clearly declined since Finland entered into a deep economic recession in 1991.

Martti Ahtisaari, a former primary school teacher and a long-time United Nations diplomat, emerged as the frontrunner after winning the Social Democratic presidential primary in the spring of 1993.  Having lived abroad for many years during his diplomatic career, he was at first largely unknown to most Finnish voters.  On the other hand, he appeared not to be tainted with political scandals or allegations of opportunism, contrary to some of his opponents, especially the Centre Party presidential candidate, Paavo Väyrynen.  This was also the first Finnish presidential election to include a popular female candidate. Elisabeth Rehn, the small Swedish People's Party's presidential candidate, appealed to voters through her reputation as a diligent, caring and sincere woman.  She was serving as Defence Minister during the election.

Rehn's popularity rose dramatically in early January 1994, helping her defeat her two major bourgeois rivals, Väyrynen and the National Coalition candidate, Raimo Ilaskivi.  Väyrynen bitterly blamed the media for scheming to make his support appear to be falling just before the first round of voting.  Some Finns voted tactically for Rehn on the first round to eliminate Väyrynen from the second round.  Ahtisaari and Rehn agreed on many issues, such as Finland's intention to become a member of the European Union.  They disagreed partly on economic issues, with Ahtisaari favouring more economic stimulation and Rehn viewing increased economic stimulus sceptically. The three-week period between the first and second rounds of voting saw Ahtisaari's support rise significantly, and during the final week of campaigning opinion polls showed him leading Rehn.

Old Main, built  in 1886 in Laramie, Wyoming, was the first building on the University of Wyoming campus and continues as its oldest. At an approximate elevation of  above sea level, it currently houses university administration.

History
Old Main was built as a result of the University Bill, passed by the government of the Territory of Wyoming. In a compromise among territorial legislators, Laramie was given the university, Cheyenne was given the capitol, and Evanston was given $10,000 to build an insane asylum. All three were fast-growing cities near Wyoming's southern border and connected by the Union Pacific Railroad.

Territorial Governor Francis E. Warren appointed three Laramie residents to a building commission (J.W. Donnellan, LeRoy Grant and Robert Marsh) and allocated $50,000 to build the first university building in the territory. The building commission contracted Frederick Hale to design and Cook and Callahan to construct the building.

Architecture and construction
Frederick Hale began his career as an architect in Denver around 1890.  After designing Old Main early in his career, Hale moved to Utah and became an important figure in Salt Lake City architecture. Hale designed the David Keith Mansion, the Downey House, the Haxton Place, and the Markland/Walker House, all built on Salt Lake City's historic Temple Street. He also built the A.O. Whitmore Electric Automobile Building in Salt Lake City.

Hale designed Old Main in the Romanesque Revival style. Its heavy stone construction, axial nature, symmetry, arch, and rectangular footprint all reflect the Romanesque style.  Rough-cut sandstone, quarried from east of Laramie, is the primary stone used. The trim stone is Potsdam Sandstone, quarried from the Rawlins area. This smooth-textured stone contrasts with the native sandstone.

As the first university building in the Wyoming Territory, Hale designed Old Main as an imposing structure. He included a central spire to serve both as a focal point for the structure and a signal of the building's importance. Old Main was built to reflect Wyoming rather than copying university structures of the Eastern United States. One can see the rough-textured body of the building representing the developing frontier, while the minimal usage of classical decoration might symbolize the emerging sophistication of the Wyoming population.

The Masonic Order laid the cornerstone on September 27, 1886, construction finished on September 1, 1887. Classes began five days later, on September 6, 1887.  It was originally called the University Building, because it housed the entire university. It included classrooms, labs, administration, maintenance, an auditorium, and a library. A two-story, 500-seat auditorium on the second level quickly became an entertainment center for Laramie.

Later changes

The central spire was removed in 1916 due to structural concerns, completely changing the character of the structure. This alteration resulted in a somewhat awkward central section, which is now hidden by two large spruce trees. After the campus expanded, the building was renamed the Language Building.

The auditorium was reduced in size during a 1936 renovation and completely removed in 1949. This remodeling drastically changed the building's interior and did not match the original style. The auditorium was replaced by a large central staircase and two stories of office space still in use today. The 1949 remodeling also officially changed the buildings name to Old Main. The office of the president was remodeled at this time and remains much unchanged today.

Originally the entrances to Old Main were elevated above ground level, so that visitors would ascend to the first floor before entering the building. They were modified in 1949 so that visitors now enter down to the basement level.

Context
Two Wyoming structures contemporary to Old Main are the Union Pacific Train Depot (1886) and State Capitol building (begun in 1887), both in Cheyenne.  At the time of construction, Old Main would have had a similar level of importance to the Wyoming Territory as the other two structures. Together, these three structures show that the 1880s were a time of excitement, growth, and change in Wyoming. Shortly after the construction of Old Main, the state of Wyoming joined the United States in 1890.

Influence
Old Main had a significant impact on the direction of architecture on the University of Wyoming's campus. This influence on later campus construction is visible through the similar use of native stone on most buildings and the similar three portal design used on structures such as Half Acre Gymnasium. University building construction today uses modern techniques and materials, such as steel, but still incorporate a rough-cut sandstone façade, resulting in a uniform architectural style throughout the campus.

Samuel Bolton Ashworth (11 March 1877 – 30 December 1925) was an English footballer who played as a defender in the Football League for Burslem Port Vale, Everton, Manchester City and Stoke. He played for Manchester City in their victory in the 1904 FA Cup Final, and also helped both City and Everton to finish second in the First Division.

Career
Ashworth played for Staffordshire clubs Stoke Alliance, Fenton Town, Stafford Wednesday, Stafford Rangers, and Stoke Nomads, before joining Stoke in 1901. He played 29 times in 1901–02, being used in all three midfield positions, but lost his first team place at the Victoria Ground in 1902–03 and made only 10 appearances. He left for Manchester City at the end of the season, who had just won promotion into the First Division. In his one season at Hyde Road, he won the 1904 FA Cup at Crystal Palace after injury prevented Billy Holmes from playing; City beat Bolton Wanderers 1–0. City also finished second in the Football League, three points behind The Wednesday. However Ashworth featured in just 22 games all season, and then went on to play for Reading in the Southern League, and then played 11 league games for First Division runners-up Everton in 1904–05, before returning to Staffordshire with Second Division side Burslem Port Vale in October 1905. His appearances during the season were restricted due to other commitments, and he left the Athletic Ground in the summer. He later played for North Staffs Nomads, Northern Nomads, Sheffield and Richmond Association. He returned to Stoke in 1920 and became a club director until his death in 1925.

Personal life
In 1915, a year after the outbreak of the First World War, Ashworth enlisted in the Royal Garrison Artillery. He served on the Western Front in France and Belgium and was gassed during fighting on the Ypres Salient, spending three months in hospital. Ashworth was mentioned in despatches in November 1915 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant the following month.

The Los Angeles Herald-Express was one of Los Angeles' oldest newspapers, formed after a combination of the Los Angeles Herald and the Los Angeles Express. After a 1962 combination with Hearst Corporation's Los Angeles Examiner, the paper became the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner folding on November 2, 1989.

History

Los Angeles Express

The Los Angeles Express was Los Angeles's oldest newspaper published under its original name until it combined with the Herald. It was established on March 27, 1871

Los Angeles Herald

Established in 1873, the Los Angeles Herald or the Evening Herald represented the largely Democratic views of the city and focused primarily on issues local to Los Angeles and Southern California. The Los Angeles Daily Herald was first published on October 2, 1873, by Charles A. Storke. It was the first newspaper in Southern California to use the innovative steam press; the newspaper's offices at 125 South Broadway were popular with the public because large windows on the ground floor allowed passersby to see the presses in motion. In 1922, the Herald officially joined the Hearst News empire.

Los Angeles Herald-Express
In 1931, Hearst merged the Los Angeles Daily Herald with the Los Angeles Evening Express to form the Los Angeles Evening Herald and Express, which was then the largest circulating evening newspaper west of the Mississippi.

Los Angeles Herald Examiner

The Los Angeles Herald Examiner was a major Los Angeles daily newspaper, published in the afternoon from Monday to Friday and in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays. It was part of the Hearst syndicate. The afternoon Herald-Express and the morning Examiner, both of which had been publishing in the same downtown Los Angeles building since the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, merged in 1962.

A Los Angeles historian wrote in 2010, “A 1962 merger [of the Examiner] with the Los Angeles Herald-Express, Hearst's afternoon paper, was merely a formality, as the two papers had shared workspace for decades.”

For a few years after the merger, the Herald Examiner claimed the largest afternoon-newspaper circulation in the country.

It published its last edition on November 2, 1989.

Foreign relations exist between Australia and Barbados. Neither country has a resident ambassador. The regional Australian High Commissioner to Barbados is accredited from Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. Barbados is represented in Australia through its High Commission in Ottawa, (Canada). Barbados maintains an honorary consul and a tourist office in Australia. Barbados and Australia established diplomatic relations on 7 January 1974. Both countries are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and comprised as former parts of the British Empire.

History
Barbados and Australia established diplomatic relations on 7 January 1974 with J. C. Ingram as the first High Commissioner. In 2001, Winfred Peppinck was appointed as High Commissioner.
From 1994 to 2004 Australia's High Commission in the Caribbean was resident in Bridgetown, Barbados. At that point the regional mission moved to Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago; due in part to the robust trade by Australian companies with Trinidad and Tobago's oil sector. It now serves Barbados and 13 other Caribbean countries. The official opening of the new building was made on 14 December 2006. By 2010, Philip Kentwell held the position of High Commissioner, now renamed Plenipotentiary Representative of Australia to the Caribbean Community. Kentwell remarked to the media that a new resident consulate was presently being planned for Barbados awaiting an official appointee to that post.

In 2018, the Freundel Stuart-led administration celebrated Australia Day in Barbados to highlight the 44-years of diplomatic relations between both nations.

In 2021, the Barbadian Mia Mottley administration held talks with the government of Australia with the aim of furthering ties following Barbados transitioning to a republic as well as discussions on climate change.

Economic relations

In 2009, multinational BHP Billiton, headquartered in Melbourne, became the first company to be granted a concession to search for oil and gas in the maritime areas of Barbados. The company was awarded offshore blocks in Carlisle Bay and Bimshire. In 2011, the Barbados government minister of Finance stated that various legislation was remedied to allow the Australian energy company to begin exploration in the near-term.

In 2009, both nations have given some consideration for the signing of a double taxation agreement between their two nations. Maxine McClean, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade for Barbados said: "You will no doubt agree that the negotiation and conclusion of relevant agreements will result in increased foreign direct investment, trade and general co-operation to our mutual benefit. In this regard Barbados looks forward greatly to the enhancement of its relationship and co-operation with Australia."

Eleanor Faye Bartowski Woodcomb, MD, PhD, is the older sister of title character Chuck Bartowski on the television series Chuck. She is portrayed by actress Sarah Lancaster.

Biography
Eleanor Faye Bartowski was born to Stephen and Mary Bartowski in 1978. With the exception of her younger brother, Chuck (Zachary Levi), little was initially known about the Bartowski family beyond that their mother left them when they were younger (Chuck was in the fifth grade) and that their father was "never really there." Her father, Stephen J. Bartowski, first appeared in the episode "Chuck Versus the Dream Job."  Ellie attended and graduated from UCLA Medical School, where she met and went to school with her future husband, Devon Woodcomb. Devon was in love with her for three years ("give or take") before the events of "Chuck Versus the Seduction."  They began dating when Devon gave her his sweater and said it was meant for her because the color matched her eyes. She also earned a Ph.D., although neither the discipline in which, nor the university where, she studied has been revealed as of the end of season four.

When her brother was expelled by Stanford University in 2003 he came back to Echo Park in Los Angeles to stay with her. For much of their lives growing up, Chuck and Ellie relied on each other, and after Chuck returned home, Ellie became one of his main sources of support as he recovered from Bryce Larkin's betrayal. At the beginning of the series, Ellie is throwing a birthday party for Chuck and has invited a number of her girlfriends for him to meet in hopes of helping him get past Jill. In "Chuck Versus the Subway", late in season 3, she learns that Chuck is a spy.  In the season 4 opener "Chuck Versus the Anniversary" it is revealed Ellie and Devon are expecting a baby.  Daughter Clara is born in the mid season episode "Chuck Versus the Push Mix".

Series
Ellie Bartowski-Woodcomb is portrayed by actress Sarah Lancaster. She first appears in the series at the beginning of "Chuck Versus the Intersect," when Chuck tries to escape his birthday party which she arranged to try introducing him to real women. She remains one of the most important anchors between Chuck and his real life throughout the series, and her safety is one of his foremost concerns. When Chuck discovered Casey had bugged the home he shared with Ellie, he was even prepared to threaten Casey if he found out he was spying on her as well. When Chuck's extraction by the government was imminent, he made a point of telling her goodbye, and later asked Sarah to tell her something to make his disappearance "okay."

Most of Ellie's appearances in the series have been as part of the side-plots involving Chuck's real life and coworkers at the Buy More, so she has rarely figured prominently into the main arc. Her most significant role in the main plot of an episode came in "Chuck Versus the Truth," in which Ellie attempted to treat nuclear expert Mason Whitney when he was poisoned by Reardon Payne. When Whitney later died, Payne, disguised as a police officer taking a statement, exposed Ellie to the same toxic truth serum he used on Whitney to find where he hid his nuclear codes. Ellie nearly died as a result of the poisoning until Chuck administered the antidote. Although she was in a coma during this time, Ellie became the first person Chuck told about his secret life. She was also among the hostages in the Buy More when Ned Rhyerson crashed his car into the store while evading the police. For her sake, Chuck convinced Devon not to go through with a plan to overwhelm Ned, and later identified himself as the Intersect to Mauser to prevent him from killing her. The bracelet Chuck gave to Sarah in the same episode was a charm bracelet Chuck and Ellie's father gave to their mother when Ellie was born.

A major recurring thread in the series is the love/hate relationship she has with Chuck's best friend Morgan Grimes. Morgan has been in love with Ellie for a long time (or at the very least has a very strong crush on her), but Ellie is at first shown to barely tolerate him. However, as the series progresses, she and Morgan come to form something resembling a friendship, partly owing to them both missing Chuck as his spy life begins to interfere more frequently with his real life. Morgan also offers her support and comfort during a fight with Devon, where he admits he sees her as a sister (that he wants to have sex with so bad). Morgan's girlfriend Anna immediately takes a dislike to Ellie because of Morgan's long-standing crush.

Throughout the series, Ellie encourages Chuck and pushes him towards leaving the Buy More and doing something more suitable to his education level. After Chuck expressed misgivings about his relationship with Sarah in "Chuck Versus the Suburbs," she encouraged Chuck to break up with her, before Morgan reminded her that Sarah was the best thing that had happened to him in a long time. She was ecstatic when Chuck announced he was moving out and that he and Sarah would be getting a place together, but did not have a chance to react when Chuck later abruptly changed his mind.

Devon proposed to Ellie at the end of "Chuck Versus the Marlin," and she accepted. This began a secondary arc throughout the second season covering the preparations for the wedding. Ellie's regret that her father would not be there led Chuck to decide to track him down and promise that their father would be there. Their father indeed appeared at the end of the second season (see below). Ellie married Devon in the second-season finale.

In the third season, Ellie grows concerned that Chuck and Devon seem to be keeping secrets from her.  The secrets really have to do with Devon being in on Chuck's spy life since late in season 2, and Devon always has trouble lying to her, but Ellie remains unaware of what they are keeping from her.  She begins to snoop on Chuck—even enlisting Morgan, who shares suspicions about Chuck.  Their suspicions are allayed when they catch Chuck sneaking around to make out with Hannah, but Ellie still takes note of Devon and Chuck being "thick as thieves."

Ellie gets her dream opportunity, a neurology fellowship at (UCLA rival) USC. Devon is initially opposed to the idea because he wants to get himself and Ellie away from the danger attendant with Chuck's spy life, but he relents, realizing how important the opportunity is to her. Soon she is granted a sabbatical, allowing her to take a year off so she can both pursue the fellowship and go to Africa with Doctors Without Borders as Devon planned.

In "Chuck Versus the Tooth" Ellie is manipulated by a Ring operative she met in Africa named Justin into believing that Casey is a double-agent and a threat to her father. While posing as a CIA operative, Justin recruits Ellie as an asset after she accidentally discovers a substantial amount of weaponry stashed away in Casey's apartment, and is tricked by Justin into revealing that Stephen left a means for his children to contact him. Their means of communication was through the advertising in newspapers, so they could send secret messages. However, Stephen came to Burbank, instead of revealing his whereabouts that Justin desired. When Ellie asked about what to do about Casey, Justin gave her a music box that could jam his communications. The box is later revealed to have a gun, which Justin urges her to use to shoot Casey, who was planting bugs around her apartment. Ellie couldn't bring herself to do it and instead struck Casey down with a frying pan before running to Justin. Unfortunately, he locked her in his office while lying that the CIA had safeguarded her father.

Ellie learned of her father and brother's involvement in the CIA in "Chuck Versus the Subway," and was instrumental in helping Devon and Morgan rescue the team from Daniel Shaw after witnessing her father's murder. Ellie approved Chuck's decision to finish Shaw and the Ring, but insisted he quit once they were defeated. However, Chuck would be drawn into the spy world once more with an unknown enemy that their father had been fighting.

In "Chuck Versus the Anniversary" Chuck was on his way to tell Ellie that he has to return to being a spy to find their mother, but she presumed that he was telling her that he's returning to the Buy More, now controlled by the U.S. government. In turn, she confides in her brother that she's pregnant. Ellie and Awesome are expecting a daughter. Although Ellie had discovered Chuck's work with the CIA during the previous season's finale, she did not actually see how good at it Chuck actually was—or how much he truly enjoyed the work—until "Chuck Versus the Coup d'Etat." She openly admitted being impressed with Chuck's skills when he and Sarah helped both Ellie and Devon, and Generalissimo Goya, escape a coup d'etat in Costa Gravas.

Ellie was briefly reunited with her mother in "Chuck Versus the First Fight," after Morgan arranged the visit as part of a plea deal in which Mary agreed to help the team locate Chuck following his capture by Volkoff agents. During the meeting, Mary explained to Ellie where she had been the last twenty years and also subtly provided hints relevant to a search Ellie was conducting for anything left behind for her by her father (prompted by Chuck's own inquiries if Stephen had done so). The story Mary told her about road trips in the family's old Mustang led her to the realization that a car she had seen in the classifieds of the newspaper—which she was searching due to her father's habit of leaving her coded messages in such a manner—was indeed left behind by Stephen as she suspected. With Devon's help Ellie recovered the vehicle and a note from her father. Hidden beneath one of the seats was one of his computers. She found it and Devon said he would take it. After Devon has Lester hack it to turn it on, there was a password that only Ellie knows, which was "Knock, Knock" and the answer was "I'm here".

The laptop contained her father's research on the Intersect in the brain from an engineer's perspective. She corrected it with her neuroscience but wasn't able to activate it through a new password which was known only by Chuck. Although Ellie was unaware of the purpose of her father's work, the corrections she made allowed Chuck to reactivate the Intersect.

In the episode "Chuck Versus the Muuurder", Ellie devotes her time to the research on the laptop, after it is given to her by National Clandestine Service Director Jane Bentley. When she is sleeping, the laptop scans her, and verifies her identity before accessing files on "Agent X".

In the series finale, Ellie moves with Devon, their daughter and Mary to Chicago.

Development

Sarah Lancaster was cast in the role of Ellie Bartowski in March, 2007, joining Zachary Levi, Adam Baldwin and Yvonne Strahovski. On January 16, 2009 it was announced that Scott Bakula would be appearing as Chuck and Ellie's father Stephen in a three-episode story.

Personality

Ironically, considering that Chuck's secret life has led him to save Ellie's on three occasions, she still plays the role of the over-protective older sister and deep-down still sees him as her baby brother. She frequently offers Chuck encouragement and advice on women in general, and his relationship with Sarah in particular. Although unaware of the truth of that relationship, Ellie is one of the first people to recognize that her interest in Chuck is genuine. She was immediately concerned when Chuck ran into Jill again and was meeting her for dinner to catch up.

She immediately took a liking to Sarah, and is one of the few characters who enjoys Casey's company or refers to him by first name ("He's so sweet!").

After Chuck, the most important person in Ellie's life is her husband, Devon Woodcomb. She's the only character who never refers to him as "Captain Awesome," although she did refer to his parents as the "Very Awesomes" when they were planning a visit. She loves him dearly, but under the effects of truth serum angrily complained about his frequent use of the word "awesome," and what she felt as moments of neglect of her feelings in the relationship. Ellie later accuses him of self-centeredness and disregard what she wanted when he a bought washer and dryer for their anniversary (as opposed to a big-screen TV).

Although usually calm and collected, Ellie becomes a nervous wreck and a perfectionist when she is required to be near Devon's parents, whom she refers to as the "Very Awesomes." In "Chuck Versus the Gravitron," Devon's parents are supposed to come over for Thanksgiving and Ellie's nervousness manifests with her cleaning at a hurried pace, cooking multiple turkeys (which she promptly throws in the trash for flaws only she notices) and uninviting Morgan. Ellie was greatly intimidated during a visit from Devon's parents, and was quickly driven to frustration by Honey Woodcomb's interference with the wedding plans, but hits her breaking point when Woody offers to walk her down the aisle (the only part of the wedding she imagined was her father doing this). She was also deeply disturbed by her perception of Devon's bachelor party, after seeing incriminating photographs taken by Lester of an unconscious Devon with Agent Forrest (dressed as a cop-themed stripper). She was hurt, and believes Chuck and Morgan are covering up willful actions taken by Devon during the party (she later learned the truth). And like Chuck, Ellie also has a trusting nature, which the Ring used to manipulate her into thinking that her handler was CIA and that Casey was a double agent.

It is unknown whether she has the same ability to absorb and retain visual information as her father and brother.

Leslie George Katz (c. 1918 – April 18, 1997) was an author and publisher who founded Eakins Press, a specialty publisher of books of art and literature.

Biography
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Katz attended Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he met his future wife Jane Mayhall. The two married in the 1940s and moved to New York City. As husband and wife, they were active participants in New York's bohemian community starting in the 1950s, and became friendly with many of the prominent artists at the time.

Over the course of his career, Katz wrote for publications ranging from Classic Comics to The Nation. He wrote speeches for Adlai Stevenson and created plays for a Brooklyn community center. Katz was also a board member of Yaddo, the artists' community located on an estate in Saratoga Springs, New York.

He contributed garden statues to the Brooklyn Museum of Art that were retrieved from sites being demolished and helped arrange the Museum of Modern Art's acquisition of photographs taken by French photographer Eugène Atget.

Eakins Press
Katz established Eakins Press in 1966, naming it in honor of painter Thomas Eakins.

Katz had obtained the funds to operate the press and his other business ventures by selling a series of paintings by Eakins that his father had purchased secretly and placed in locations scattered around Baltimore. Katz discovered his father's secret in the 1950s, and sold the paintings to art collector Joseph Hirshhorn.

In the three decades before his death, Eakins Press published 56 books that were described by The New York Times as being "notable for their meticulous, elegant design", including works of photography, poetry, sculpture and the New York City Ballet.

The company's first book was a replica of the original 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass, the collection of twelve poems written by Walt Whitman that he had published himself. Another of the early books was Message From the Interior, a collection of photographs by Walker Evans, who was best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration that captured the effects of the Great Depression. Eakins Press also published works by his wife, including the 1966 volume of poems and plays Ready for the Ha Ha & Other Satires and the two-volume collection of poetry Givers and Takers printed in 1968 and 1973.

A January 1993 show at the Zabriskie Gallery in New York City featured selections of 14 works published by the Eakins Press, along with samples of the art produced by the artists highlighted in the books.

Death
Katz died at age 78 on April 18, 1997 in his home in Manhattan, due to cancer. He was survived by his wife and a brother, the jazz pianist Dick Katz.

An t-Athair Liam Ó Beirne () was a Roman Catholic priest, a writer of Modern literature in Irish and a language revival activist.

Life
Liam Ó Beirne was born at Milltown, County Galway in August 1871 in the townland of Carrownageehy to Thomas and Bridget (née Quinn) Beirne. The local Connaught Irish vernacular was always spoken at home. Beirne attended Ballindine National school in County Mayo. After completing primary school, Beirne attended St Jarlath's College in Tuam. He then went on to join the priesthood, registering at St Patrick's College, Maynooth on 3 September 1892.

He was ordained a priest for the Tuam Archdiocese in Galway City on 19 November 1899. During the Gaelic revival, he wrote under pseudonyms  An Beirneach and An Fear Mór Maoil ("The Big Bald Man"). His books An Troid agus an tUaigneas and Seo Suid won him much acclaim.

Fr. Beirne died in 1949, aged 78 years. He is buried at Kilclooney Graveyard, Milltown.

Legacy
His ordination chalice, with his parents' marriage tokens affixed to it, is on display in the Milltown Heritage Centre.

In 1999, the centenary of Fr. Byrne's ordination in 1899, was celebrated in his native Milltown in recognition of the village's Irish language past. The celebration also marked the centenary of the death in New York City of fellow Milltown man, pioneering Irish language magazine editor, Philo-Celtic Society founder, and driving force behind the Gaelic revival Mícheál Ó Lócháin.

At this celebration, a wreath was laid on "An Beirneach's" grave at Kilclooney Cemetery, Milltown by his two surviving relatives. This was followed by Mass in Irish in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Milltown and a ceilidh of Irish traditional music performed by local musicians.

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is breast cancer arising from the lobules of the mammary glands. It accounts for 5–10% of invasive breast cancer. Rare cases of this carcinoma have been diagnosed in men (see male breast cancer).

Types

The histologic patterns include:

Prognosis
Overall, the five-year survival rate of invasive lobular carcinoma was approximately 85% in 2003.

Diagnosis
On mammography, ILC shows spiculated mass with ill-defined margins that has similar or lower density than surrounding breast tissues. This happens only at 44–65% of the time. Architectural distortion on surrounding breast tissues is only seen in 10–34% of the cases. It can be reported as benign in 8–16% of the mammography cases.

Ultrasound has 68–98% sensitivity of detecting ILC. ILC shows irregular or angular mass with hypoechoic or heterogenous internal echoes, ill-defined or spiculated margins, and posterior acoustic shadowin.

Loss of E-cadherin is common in lobular carcinoma but is also seen in other breast cancers.

Treatment
Treatment includes surgery and adjuvant therapy.
