Leubald was an attempt by the youthful Richard Wagner to write a tragic drama in the Shakespearean genre.  It occupied him during the years 1827-28 while he was at school, first in Dresden and later in Leipzig. The play combines elements of Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth and Richard III, with influences from Goethe and Heinrich von Kleist. The critic Theodor Adorno has noted: Leubald [and Wagner's other early writings] are all of a piece with those plays of which high-school pupils are wont to write in their exercise books the title, the Dramatis Personae, and the words 'Act I'.

It is unclear whether, or in what manner, Wagner intended to set this text to music, but the desire to do so may have been the factor which led him to begin the study of composition. No music for Leubald has survived, but the text of the play exists. It has been suggested that the character of Adriano in Wagner's later opera Rienzi is recognisably based on that of Leubald in the earlier drama.

"Hug My Soul" is a song by British band Saint Etienne. It was the third single from their third album, Tiger Bay (1994), and was released in  by Heavenly Records. It was written by vocalist Sarah Cracknell along with songwriting partners Guy Batson and Johnny Male (Male and Batson would help co-write a number of tracks on Cracknell's solo debut Lipslide).

The single was released with three B-sides: two written by Saint Etienne's songwriting partnership of Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, "I Buy American Records" and "Hate Your Drug", and a cover version of La Poupée Qui Fait Non (No, No, No)", a live recording produced by the band's friend (and future Heavenly label mate) Edwyn Collins. A second CD featured remixes by Motiv8, Secret Knowledge, Juan "Kinky" Hernandez and Sure Is Pure. It reached number 32 on the UK Singles Chart and was their first single not to be released on 7-inch vinyl.

This would be Saint Etienne's final release for Warner Bros. Follow up single "He's on the Phone" would be released on MCA Records, lifted from a dance compilation album called Life is a Dance. The US releases included a number of exclusive remixes - including an alternate album version (which was released as a bonus track on the US version of Tiger Bay), a Motiv-8 dub, and the On Tour In '94 dub.

The song bears a resemblance to the 70s disco hit More, More, More by Andrea True Connection. In particular, the phrasing of the "More More More" lyric "Ooh, how do you like your love?" is identical to the "Hug My Soul" lyric "Ooh, what are you dreaming of?", and both lyrics are the opening to each of their representative songs.

Marketing
The UK release featured cover art involving a photograph of abandoned musical instruments. The US release features a photograph of the band.

Critical reception
Tim Sendra from AllMusic described the song as "lush and sophisticated dance-pop". Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "Songs like "Hug My Soul" combine a familiar blend of airy modern pop with prominent dance beats and fairly aggressive execution." In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton said that Sarah Cracknell and the lads "return with what is probably not the most straightforward single they have ever released, moving away from the pretty pop tunes they have produced of late and going back to their ambient dub roots and the sort of sound that dominates their albums. No major surprises then and no large hits - for now." Ian Gittins from Melody Maker named it Single of the Week and a "ravishing, saccharine-and-switchblade lament". He praised Cracknell's "come-on tones ooze like honey over a twee-yet-tenuous plastic pop beat". Another editor, Simon Price, declared it as "an impertinent rewrite" of "More, More, More" that "swoons in the right places".

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Despite the six mixes to draw the attention of the dance-minded, it will always be a pop song. If you don't think you're ready, check out the lovely track "I Buy American Records"." James Hamilton from Music Week'''s RM Dance Update viewed it as a "strings sawed breathy sweet shuffler". David Quantick from NME felt it's "a proper tune". Another editor, Paul Moody, said the song, "which, for all its Sub Sub disco nuances and '70s soul flute fills, is little but a shuffle through Andrea True Connection's "More, More, More"." Neil Spencer from The Observer called it a "chart contender" and "disco slick". Tony Cross from Smash Hits praised it as a "piece of pop perfection".

Music video
The single was marketed with a surreal music video inspired by the 1975 French film La Bête. It was directed by British journalist, author, comedian and punk poet Steven Wells. The video involved what was, according to Wells, a “frighteningly realistic bear suit”. Werner Herzog later ripped this idea off for Grizzly Man. In the video, Sarah Cracknell plays a young girl asleep with her stuffed toys; she dreams of being chased by a bear, but ultimately ends up having jelly and ice cream with him in his den, attired in a sultry black dress that had featured in the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds are Forever, on which her father Derek Cracknell had served as a second unit director. "We had a meeting to discuss locations and so on, and it was decided that I'd wear a dress of my mum's that had been worn by Jill St. John in Diamonds Are Forever''," Cracknell recounted, "but that's another story." "Hug My Soul" was later made available on YouTube in 2012.

Track listing
All tracks were written and composed by Batson, Cracknell, Male; except where indicated.

The School Of Life is a social media company that offers advices about life issues. It was found in 2008 and has its headquarter in London, with branches in Amsterdam, Berlin, Istanbul, Paris, São Paulo, and Taipei. The company offer advices on many topics, including finding work, navigating relationships, managing anxiety, and having an impact on the world. It provides psychotherapy and bibliotherapy services, both online and in-person at physical shops.

History
The School of Life has several founders, including author Alain de Botton. Its curator Sophie Howarth is assisted by psychotherapists, artists, and educators. The staff includes philosophers Mark Vernon, Robert Rowland Smith, and Roman Krznaric.

Publishing
In 2016, The School of Life started its own publishing press named The School of Life Press. It has published over fifty books, some of which are mental health books for children. In 2019, a collection of the School of Life's ideas was published under the title of : 'The School of Life: An Emotional Education'.

 How to overcome your childhood (2018)
 Anxiety (2019)
 Big Ideas for Curious Minds (2019)
 What they forgot to teach you at school (2020)
 The Good Enough Parent (2021)

Criticism
The School of Life has been criticized for some of its representations of philosophers and philosophical arguments. The Los Angeles Review of Books has criticized a series of books by the School of Life as being a "vortex of jargon pitched somewhere between the banal banter of daytime talk shows and the schedule for a nightmarish New Age retreat." Professor Hans-Georg Moeller of the University of Macau has criticized the School's video on Lao Tzu, stating that it used fabricated quotes and misrepresented the Dao De Jing.

While praising the School of Life for its critiques of romanticism and efforts to foster emotional intelligence through philosophy, Jeffrey Howard argues it is a less rigorous philosophy than it is "self-help for those who might need a bit more engagement with the intellect in order to consider the more complete living that comes with also employing our faculties that operate from the neck down."

The Telemark Lodge (formally known as the Telemark Resort and Convention Center) was a resort in the lakes district of Bayfield County, Wisconsin. It was located two miles east of the town of Cable, Wisconsin prior to its demolition in April of 2021.

History
Telemark was founded as an alpine ski area by Tony Wise in 1947, one of the first in the United States. A massive lodge was built in 1972 but struggled financially as ski lifts and less costly airfare opened up bigger hills. Telemark added a large facility, the Colosseum, in December 1980, that provided indoor tennis and new facilities for the ski hill and the cross country ski area, which was "partially dismantled" by 1998.

The lodge was a cross country ski destination through the 1980s, but declined along with U.S. cross country skiing. The lodge endured four bankruptcies: one in 1984, a second in 1998, and a third in 2010. The third bankruptcy resulted in a foreclosure of the property, and a closure of the resort. It closed on May 5, 2010, and re-opened again in January 2011 after a sale was made that month. Telemark Hospitality LLC then began an extensive remodeling project during 2011. On April 2, 2013, once again the storied Telemark Lodge and its property closed due to various difficulties including a fourth bankruptcy.

In October 2013, the lodge was purchased by Newco, a private Colorado-based company,
now going by the name of Mount Telemark Properties LLC.
However, renovations were too costly and the Lodge was closed for the 2014 winter season.

Mount Telemark Properties has reportedly offered part of the purchased property (including the lodge itself) to Central Cross Country Ski Association ("CXC") in an effort to preserve the start location of the American Birkebeiner. After years of neglect it was demolished in 2021.

American Birkebeiner
Telemark is home to the American Birkebeiner cross-country skiing event founded by Tony Wise in 1973. Tony got his inspiration for the event from Norway's Birkebeiner. The race alone attracts thousands of skiers and spectators to the resort each year, and in fact is one of the biggest annual events for the resort.

Culinary history
Emeril Lagasse was at Telemark Lodge from 1978 to 1980. Other published biographies say he was in New England during that time period.

Telemark Resort ski hill statistics
 Base: 1320 ft (402 m)
 Summit: 1700 ft (518 m)
 Vertical Rise: 380 ft (115 m)

June Cohen is an American producer and entrepreneur. She is the CEO of WaitWhat, a media company she co-founded with Deron Triff. WaitWhat creates the podcasts Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman, Should This Exist?, Meditative Story, and Spark & Fire. Cohen was also host of the podcast Sincerely X in  its first season. Until December 2015, she was the Executive Producer of TED Media for TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design). She led the effort to bring the conference online, launching the podcast series TEDTalks in 2006, the redesigned TED.com in 2007, the TED Open Translation Project in 2009, the TED Open TV Project in 2010 and TED Conversations in 2011. Cohen joined the TED staff in 2005. She also produced TED's year-round salons, edited the TED Blog, and co-curated and co-hosted the annual conference in Long Beach, with TED curator Chris Anderson. She lives in New York City.

Early career
Cohen holds a BA in political science from Stanford University (minors in human biology, anthropology, African studies), where she was Editor-in-Chief of The Stanford Daily, which she describes as "another formative experience that has influenced everything I've done since."

Cohen was an early innovator in new media. In 1991, she led a team at Stanford University that developed the world's first networked multimedia magazines, called "Proteus". It was built in HyperCard, and used newly released QuickTime to integrate video. It was made available over the campus computer network, as a supplement to the campus newspaper, and was phased out after the advent of the web.

From 1994 to 2000, Cohen worked for HotWired, the pioneering website from Wired magazine, which introduced many of the conventions now commonplace on the web—it was the first website to introduce a membership system, a commenting system, and ad banners. She was part of the team that launched the site in 1994, and from 1997-2000, as the young Vice President of Content, she helped lead HotWired to profitability. She also oversaw all creative development on sites, from Animation Express to the HotBot search engine. She wrote the Net Surf blog from 1994 to 1996. In 1996 she launched Webmonkey, the how-to site for web developers. In 1997, she led the widely publicized launch of "HotWired 4.0," which featured extensive use of JavaScript and "dynamic HTML."

After leaving Wired magazine, Cohen wrote "The Unusually Useful Web Book" in 2003, hailed by critics as "an instant classic" and translated into four languages.

TED.com
After joining the TED team in 2005, Cohen soon hired a filmmaker specializing in the Web, Jason Wishnow, and began planning TED's first video podcast. Ever since Chris Anderson had, in 2001, acquired the TED conference—an elite, expensive, annual event, isolated from the world at large—he was looking for ways to make the talks available to a wider audience beyond the conference. June Cohen tried to interest TV stations in a TV show consisting largely of TEDTalks, but was told that the lectures lacked mainstream appeal. "When the BBC told me that TED talks were too intellectual for them, I thought it was time to change strategies," In June 2006, a small batch of free videos were posted online, under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs Creative Commons license. By January of the next year, 44 talks had been put online, and they had been viewed 3 million times. Based on that success, TED pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into its video production operations and into the development of a Web site to showcase about 100 of the talks. "Conventional business logic would tell you that in a community like TED you have to keep your commodity scarce and expensive to retain brand value," she said in an interview. "But the same year we started releasing most of our content for free we raised our conference price by nearly 50 percent and still sold out in 12 days."

In 2007, the new TED.com was launched, designed by Method, a design firm based in New York and San Francisco. The website has won numerous awards, including seven Webby Awards, iTunes Best Podcast of the Year (2006-2010), the Communication Arts 2007 Interactive Award for Information Design, the 2008 OMMA award for video sharing, the 2008 Web Visionary Award for technical achievement, the 2008 One Show Interactive Bronze Award, the AIGA Annual Design Competition (2009) and a 2012 Peabody Award. TED.com has been featured in two major design exhibits, at the London Design Museum and the Denver Art Museum. It was named one of the 50 Best Websites of 2010 by Time magazine, and has received praise from various media outlets, including The New York Times, The Guardian, and Design Week. According to announcements made at the TED Conference in February 2010, TEDTalks were watched 250 million times in the first 3½ years they were available. By July 2012, the talks had been viewed more than 800 million times. Some of the talks, like those by Hans Rosling, Ken Robinson and Jill Bolte Taylor have become viral hits.

"Putting the talks online free was risky and it turned out really well for us," Cohen has said in an interview. "It turned our audience of 1,000 conference attendees into an audience of 150 million people worldwide."

WaitWhat - media company
In 2017, Cohen co-founded WaitWhat, a media company, with Deron Triff, TED's former head of media partnerships and distribution. On their respective roles at TED, Cohen says, "I led the startup phase, when we got TEDTalks online, and Deron led the scale-up phase, when it got to 100 million views each month.” WaitWhat is described as a media invention company that's format and platform agnostic.  WaitWhat has publicly committed to a 50/50 gender balance, both in the podcast Masters of Scale, and among its investors. The company raised a $1.1M seed round, from a gender-balanced group of 12 angel investors, by raising money from women investors first.

 Masters of Scale:  In 2017, WaitWhat launched its first multimedia property - the Masters of Scale podcast hosted by Reid Hoffman. Masters of Scale aims to “democratize entrepreneurship”. The podcast has featured interviews with well-known founders and leaders including Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Huffington Post & Thrive Global founder Arianna Huffington, Ariel Investments co-CEO Mellody Hobson, and President Barack Obama. Over the course of each podcast episode, Hoffman and his guests share entrepreneurial insights and their entrepreneurial experiences. Masters of Scale won multiple Webby and Signal Awards in 2022. Cohen served as the guest host for two episodes featuring Reid Hoffman as the guest. Since 2017, the property Masters of Scale has extended into multiple additional audio series, a learning app, a book, and events.

Should This Exist: In February 2019, WaitWhat launched the podcast Should This Exist? — "an original audio series that aims to explore technology’s impact on humanity." This show is hosted by Internet entrepreneur Caterina Fake.
 Meditative Story: In August 2019, WaitWhat launched the podcast Meditative Story, in partnership with Thrive Global — a media company led by Arianna Huffington. The podcast combines first-person stories with meditation prompts and original music, to create a mindfulness experience in audio. Variety describes it as “part first-person narrative podcast and part guided meditation” Forbes  describes it as "a completely new kind of listening experience that blends intimate first-person stories with mindfulness prompts, enveloped in beautiful music composition." Deron Triff, executive producer of Meditative Story, told Forbes “We wanted to blend the storytelling experience with tools and strategies for mindfulness and wellness." The podcast's first season featured stories from Krista Tippett (host of the radio show On Being), NPR Host Peter Sagal, travel writer Pico Iyer, LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman, Beautycon Media's Moj Mahdara, actor Josh Radnor and astronomer Michelle Thaller, among others. Meditative Story appears on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast distribution platforms.
 Spark & Fire: In January 2021, WaitWhat launched Spark & Fire – a podcast that “celebrates the creativity of the world’s most admired creators, turning the abstract idea of the ‘creative process’ into a captivating, edge-of-your-seat hero’s journey” – in partnership with Skillshare.

Glen Duff () is situated adjacent to the 23rd road milestone on the A3 Castletown to Ramsey road with the junction with the B14 Bernaharra Road (Road of the Ayre) in the parish of Kirk Christ Lezayre in the Isle of Man.

Description
The Engineering Work Section, Highways Division of the Isle of Man Department of Infrastructure has its northern depot at Glen Duff Quarry, including a domed storage barn built in 2003 known as the 'Igloo', for storage of road salt treatments during the winter. The previous Isle of Man Highway and Transport Board Glen Duff depot was damaged by fire in a works highway garage in 1953.

The Glen Duff Depot and Glen Duff old quarry (previously known as ) has been identified within the Ancient Woodland Inventory by the Manx Wildlife Trust. Within the  site, the Trust observed hazel (Corylus avellana), oak (Quercus × rosacea) and silver birch (Betula pendula) trees along with wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) within the depot and old quarry.

Motor-Sport heritage
Glen Duff was part of the 37.50 Mile Four Inch Course for the RAC Tourist Trophy automobile races held in the Isle of Man between 1908 and 1922.

In 1911, the Four Inch Course for automobiles was first used by the Auto-Cycling Union for the Isle of Man TT motorcycle races. This included Glen Duff and Glentramman section and the course later became known as the 37.73 mile Isle of Man TT Mountain Course which has been used since 1911 for the Isle of Man TT Races and from 1923 for the Manx Grand Prix races.

Ravenswood High School was a public high school located in East Palo Alto, California, United States. Opened in 1958, it served the East Palo Alto area of San Mateo County until its closure in 1976. In 1958 its enrollment was 629 students. During the existence of Ravenswood, East Palo Alto was the low-income area in the shadow of its more affluent neighbors Menlo Park, Atherton and Palo Alto.  The city of Palo Alto, while adjacent and sharing the same zip code, is a completely different city in Santa Clara County.  Ravenswood was part of the Sequoia Union High School District, which also serves the southern San Mateo County cities of Belmont, Redwood City, San Carlos, and Woodside.

History
The school opened in 1958 with 629 students. By 1964 enrollment had risen to 1,285.

However, white flight from the city of East Palo Alto led to a rapid increase in the percentage of African American students during the 1960s; both the Congress of Racial Equality and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People expressed concern about de facto segregation. Starting in 1965, a group called Mothers for Equal Education demonstrated for the school to be closed and East Palo Alto students sent to majority-white schools, believing that that would give them a better education; for two years, up to 200 students lived with families in Palo Alto or Los Altos in order to attend school there, in a covert program called the "Sneak-out". By 1970 enrollment had fallen to 781, 64% black. In 1968, A sit in was organized a group name "Students for Higher Education".  In the sit in, they called for classes in Black history and certain teachers deemed as "racist" to be fired.  The sit in was Captained by Charles Boulding (Student Body President) and Odia Chiles who later became Mayor of East Palo Alto. In 1968 the district had adopted a voluntary transfer program that essentially legalized the Sneak-out; in 1971 it introduced a voluntary busing program to reduce segregation in all its high schools, and also sought to make Ravenswood a magnet school, introducing an experimental curriculum including three- to six-week "mini-cycle" courses in subjects such as scuba diving, pottery, photography, golf, and mountaineering, and academic advisement and "houses" based on astrological signs.

Enrollment briefly recovered but declined again, to 823 in 1974. Few parents were willing to bus their children to Ravenswood, and there was increasing racial tension in the district high schools, with race riots occurring at Ravenswood among others. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, East Palo Alto hosted Black Power summits, and local opinion changed as to the value of integrated education, with the leader of the Mothers, Gertrude Wilks, now advocating private black education as a refuge from racism. In 1976 the district closed Ravenswood High School because of low enrollment and financial constraints. The campus was demolished in 1995 to make room for the Gateway 101 Shopping Center.

The closure of Ravenswood meant that the predominantly minority students of East Palo Alto were bused to other schools in the district, such as Carlmont High School in Belmont; these were more distant than Palo Alto High School, which is in a different district and across the county line, and at the time were predominantly white. Another of the district's high schools, Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, is also closer to East Palo Alto. In July 2013 the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, working with the law firm of Bingham McCutchen, submitted a report to the district school board asserting that bussing the East Palo Alto students to such schools as Carlmont rather than to Menlo-Atherton was a violation of their legal rights. In October that year, the district announced that it would make it easier for East Palo Alto students to attend Menlo-Atherton.

In 1976, students published a book celebrating the school. The 1995 play Circle in the Dirt by Cherríe Moraga examines mid-1990s gentrification in East Palo Alto and parts of the play recount the closure of Ravenswood and the long-lasting cultural impact of that closure on the community. In 2002, it was memorialized in a mural created by the Mural,  Music  and  the  Arts  Project at the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula in East Palo Alto, called Remembering Ravenswood: East Palo Alto's Educational Sacrifice.

Mother Was a Rooster is a 1962 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Robert McKimson. The cartoon was released on October 20, 1962, and features Foghorn Leghorn and the Barnyard Dawg. The voices are performed by Mel Blanc. It is the last-released cartoon scored by Milt Franklyn; Bill Lava would take over as composer for Looney Tunes cartoons starting with Good Noose until the cartoon department's closure in 1969.

Plot
Late one night, Barnyard Dawg sneaks into an ostrich hatchery to steal an egg, to place it under Foghorn Leghorn and then get him to believe that he laid the egg as a prank. Foghorn awakens and falls for it. When the egg doesn't immediately hatch, Barnyard Dawg decides to speed up the process by bonking Foghorn on the head with a mallet. The egg hatches an ostrich chick, to which Foghorn immediately warms up to as his own son, oblivious to the fact that the chick is an ostrich and even going as far as calling himself a mother. Foghorn proudly shows off his "son" to Barnyard Dawg as a gesture of goodwill, but Barnyard Dawg insults the ostrich. The ostrich buries his head in the ground in shame.

After an attempt to get back at Barnyard Dawg fails, which involves an anvil hanging from a tree while tied to a rope, the plot shifts to Foghorn's attempts to bond with his son, showing him how to play various sporting activities such as baseball and football. Despite these efforts to build the bird's self-esteem and forget Barnyard Dawg's maliciousness, the dog continually and unmercifully mocks the ostrich. The ostrich buries his head with each insult, agitating Foghorn even more. Finally, Foghorn has enough of the bullying and decides to defend his son's honor in a boxing match.

The bout takes place in a makeshift ring, contained beneath the farm's wooden water tower. When Barnyard Dawg decides to cheat, Foghorn decides to forget the rules and — using a loose floor plank as a catapult — hurls his foe into the bottom of the water tank. Barnyard Dawg returns the favor, and the process repeats several times until the tank becomes dislodged and crashes on top of the ring, leaving both Foghorn and Barnyard Dawg with their own heads buried in the ground. The ostrich who had been watching the match remarks: "They've left me all alone. Where did everybody go?"

Legacy
This cartoon was incorporated into The Bugs Bunny Mother's Day Special (1979). In the bridging animation, Foghorn Leghorn appeared with his now-grown ostrich son.

Cadwaladers is a family run chain of cafes that originated in Gwynedd, Wales. The original ice cream parlour was introduced by husband and wife David and Hannah Cadwalader in 1927 in Criccieth and was originally run as a general store. The business was passed onto one of their children, Dafydd, who changed the emphasis of the store and removed fish from sale. He sold, from the end of World War II, vanilla ice cream that Hannah Cadwalader developed. The vanilla ice cream was made on the premises with a secret recipe, which is no longer used. The tagline of the vanilla ice cream was six lbs of "shan't tell you" and "a great deal of love and care."

After Dafydd Cadwalader died in 1983, Cadwalader's was bought by a family of Welsh entrepreneurs, The Andrews Family who also own Castle Leisure. The owners expanded the business to cover North Wales and Cardiff. Today, Cadwalader's stores can be found in Wales at Betws-y-Coed, Barry Island, Criccieth, Porthmadog, Tenby Porthcawl and three stores in Cardiff. There is also a store in England at Trentham Gardens.

As well as the original Cadwalader's vanilla ice cream and a variety of flavoured ice creams and sundaes, the cafe also sells its own bespoke blends of coffee, loose leaf tea, and other hot drinks.

The Criccieth store holds weekly live Jazz out of high season from September to June.

Administration
In September 2015, the business went into administration after a number of setbacks including losses following the opening of a new store in Manchester in 2010, the forced closure of the Portmeirion store in 2013 and poor sales in Summer 2015. The administrators Deloitte were appointed but the company was bought out by the management team. Five of the stores had to close, with the loss of 10 jobs, but the restructuring secured 92 jobs.

The Basílica of the Black Virgin of Monserrat (Spanish: El Santuario de la Monserrate de Hormigueros and Casa de los Peregrinos) is a historical Roman Catholic shrine built in the town of Hormigueros, Puerto Rico as dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary as a Black Madonna under the Marian title of “Virgin of Montserrat”.

Pope John Paul II granted a pontifical decree of canonical coronation titled Omnibus Manifestum towards its venerated Marian image on 18 July 1994. The Archbishop of San Juan, Cardinal Luis Aponte Martínez executed the rite of coronation on 12 February 1995. The same Pontiff issued a decree titled Celeberrimum in Civitate that raised the sanctuary to the status of a minor basilica on 19 May 1998.

History

The foundation of the basilica is on the site of a rural chapel built by the Catalan estate owner Don Gerardo González, who was the owner of the valleys of the region. Although the specific date when the original chapel was constructed is not known, some records date it as far as 1590. Also, radiocarbon dating tests done to pieces of wood from a coffin found in the basilica point to the existence of the chapel as far back as 1570.

The structure combines romantic elements and styles in its architecture, including a bell tower with Mozarabic elements.

In 1696, the chapel acquired a guest house called Casa de Peligrinos (Pilgrims House). In 1814, Juan Alejo de Arizmendi, the first native Puerto Rican bishop, fell ill in this house after traveling around the island in his second pastoral visit. He desired to be buried in his beloved chapel. He died in Arecibo the following October 12, but his wishes were not followed, burial instead taking place in his cathedral. The house is now the rectory of the basilica.

The basilica and its rectory were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 as the Santuario de la Monserate de Hormigueros and Casa de Peregrinos.

In 19 May 1998, Pope John Paul II issued a pontifical decree that raised the status of the structure to a minor basilica, a distinction held previously on the island only by the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista in the capital.

On 24 October 1999, the Archbishop of San Juan, Roberto González Nieves, Roberto González Nieves read the papal decree before the public in commemoration of the shrines 400th centennial anniversary.

Folklore

There is folklore about the town's founder, an explanation of why the church in the town, Basílica Menor de la Virgen de Monserrate, became so important. The legend has to do with the townspeople aiding Geraldo in finding his eight-year-old daughter, "with eyes as blue as the turquoise skies", when she disappeared. When his daughter was found 15 days later she was unharmed, not hungry, and unafraid and happily explained that a beautiful, black woman had helped her, caressed her face and given her fruit. Geraldo reported it was the Virgin of Montserrat and Geraldo said that for having helped his daughter she would be venerated for all ages. Many people heard of the tale but it had not been the first tale from Geraldo. The first and more popular tale from Geraldo had been that a savage bull was going to attack him and when he prayed, the bull bent its knees, bowed its head to the ground, and didn't attack. Some versions of the story state the bull's legs actually broke rendering the bull immobile and unable to charge at him. Since then, many Catholics perform penitence by walking the steps to the church on their knees. Many pilgrimages have been made to the church, even as early as in the 17th century.

"Mighty Mighty" is a song by R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire, released as a single in 1974 on Columbia Records. The single reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart and No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Overview
Mighty Mighty was produced by Maurice White and Joe Wissert and composed by Maurice and Verdine White. Mighty Mighty also came off EWF's 1974 album Open Our Eyes.

Critical reception
Simon Warner of Popmatters described the song as "an infectious rhythm track built on a chunky guitar line, riddled with snaking, Sly-like horn refrains, and edged with the multiple vocal harmonies."
Alex Henderson of Allmusic called Mighty Mighty "a gritty funk smoker". The San Antonio Express also praised the song saying "A mighty soulful hit for this talented group. They've certainly got the right elements."

Positive Noise were a new wave and synthpop band from Scotland who had a number of indie hits in the 1980s. They released three albums and several singles and were together for over five years.

History
The band was formed in 1979 by Ross Middleton (vocals), his brothers Graham Middleton (keyboards, vocals) and Fraser Middleton (bass guitar, vocals), Russell Blackstock (guitar, vocals), and Les Gaff (drums). Their first released material were two tracks ("Refugees" and "The Long March") on the Statik label compilation EP Second City Statik in 1980, and they followed this with two singles on Statik in 1981, both of which were top-ten hits on the UK Independent Chart. Début album Heart of Darkness was released in May 1981, after which Ross left to form the short-lived Leisure Process, with Blackstock taking over on lead vocals. Heart of Darkness peaked at number four on the independent chart, and the band's second album, Change of Heart (1982), also charted, reaching number 21. They released a third and final album, Distant Fires, in 1985, now with John Telford on drums and John Coletta on guitar, but their earlier success was not repeated and they split up shortly afterwards.

Ross Middleton had earlier worked as a music journalist, writing for Sounds under the pen name Maxwell Park.

In classical mechanics, Euler's laws of motion are equations of motion which extend Newton's laws of motion for point particle to rigid body motion. They were formulated by Leonhard Euler about 50 years after Isaac Newton formulated his laws.

Overview

Euler's first law
Euler's first law states that the rate of change of linear momentum  of a rigid body is equal to the resultant of all the external forces  acting on the body:

Internal forces between the particles that make up a body do not contribute to changing the momentum of the body as there is an equal and opposite force resulting in no net effect.

The linear momentum of a rigid body is the product of the mass of the body and the velocity of its center of mass .

Euler's second law

Euler's second law states that the rate of change of angular momentum  about a point that is fixed in an inertial reference frame (often the center of mass of the body), is equal to the sum of the external moments of force (torques) acting on that body  about that point:

Note that the above formula holds only if both  and  are computed with respect to a fixed inertial frame or a frame parallel to the inertial frame but fixed on the center of mass.
For rigid bodies translating and rotating in only two dimensions, this can be expressed as:

where:
 is the position vector of the center of mass of the body with respect to the point about which moments are summed,
 is the linear acceleration of the center of mass of the body,
 is the mass of the body,
 is the angular acceleration of the body, and
 is the moment of inertia of the body about its center of mass.

See also Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics).

Explanation and derivation

The distribution of internal forces in a deformable body are not necessarily equal throughout, i.e. the stresses vary from one point to the next. This variation of internal forces throughout the body is governed by Newton's second law of motion of conservation of linear momentum and angular momentum, which for their simplest use are applied to a mass particle but are extended in continuum mechanics to a body of continuously distributed mass. For continuous bodies these laws are called Euler's laws of motion.

The total body force applied to a continuous body with mass , mass density , and volume , is the volume integral integrated over the volume of the body:

where  is the force acting on the body per unit mass (dimensions of acceleration, misleadingly called the "body force"), and  is an infinitesimal mass element of the body.

Body forces and contact forces acting on the body lead to corresponding moments (torques) of those forces relative to a given point. Thus, the total applied torque  about the origin is given by

where  and  respectively indicate the moments caused by the body and contact forces.

Thus, the sum of all applied forces and torques (with respect to the origin of the coordinate system) acting on the body can be given as the sum of a volume and surface integral:

where  is called the surface traction, integrated over the surface of the body, in turn  denotes a unit vector normal and directed outwards to the surface .

Let the coordinate system  be an inertial frame of reference,  be the position vector of a point particle in the continuous body with respect to the origin of the coordinate system, and  be the velocity vector of that point.

Euler's first axiom or law (law of balance of linear momentum or balance of forces) states that in an inertial frame the time rate of change of linear momentum  of an arbitrary portion of a continuous body is equal to the total applied force  acting on that portion, and it is expressed as

Euler's second axiom or law (law of balance of angular momentum or balance of torques) states that in an inertial frame the time rate of change of angular momentum  of an arbitrary portion of a continuous body is equal to the total applied torque  acting on that portion, and it is expressed as

where  is the velocity,  the volume, and the derivatives of  and  are material derivatives.

Who Am I? (trans. Dr. Rajinder Singh) Who am I is the story of a young and educated married woman, who feels suffocated in her monotonous life and chooses to renounce the world for self-realization. She follows a group of sadhus and sadhvis to Hardwar, but from there moves on alone in her quest for truth.

The characters in Tiwana's novels and short-stories are the downtrodden and the innocent rural folk with suppressed desires and passions. Tragedy and irony mark the main elements of her fiction. Complex inner duality of the female psyche is the chief theme of Tiwana. Besides her achievement in fiction, Tiwana has also written two books on literary criticism.

Donald Hood Keefer (August 18, 1916 – September 7, 2014) was an American actor known for his versatility in performing comedic, as well as highly dramatic, roles.  In an acting career that spanned more than 50 years, he appeared in hundreds of stage, film, and television productions.  He was a founding member of The Actors Studio, and he performed in both the original Broadway play and 1951 film versions of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. His longest-lasting roles on television were in 10 episodes each of Gunsmoke and Angel.

Early life and career
Born in Highspire, Pennsylvania in August 1916, Donald Keefer was the youngest of three sons of Edna (née Hood) and John E. Keefer, who worked as a butcher.  When he was in his early twenties, "Don" moved to New York City, where he attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, graduating from that prestigious acting school in 1939.  That same year, at the New York World's Fair, he performed various roles on stage in excerpts of works by William Shakespeare.  During the 1940s, Keefer found work as supporting characters in Broadway plays such as Junior Miss and Othello.  He also began studying method acting in Manhattan as an early member of The Actors Studio.  In this period, he gained some early experience and performed in the new medium of television.  In 1947, Keefer appeared in a televised presentation of Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night and in an episode of the anthology series Kraft Television Theatre.  The next year, he performed again on Kraft Theatre in an episode titled "The Silver Cord".

By 1949, Keefer was back on Broadway as a cast member in the acclaimed production of Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman, directed by Elia Kazan. Keefer's exposure in that play led to his first movie role, reprising his performance as Bernard in the 1951 film version of Death of a Salesman.  He soon appeared in other films, including The Girl in White (1952), The Caine Mutiny (1954), Six Bridges to Cross (1955), Away All Boats (1956), and Hellcats of the Navy (1957). Increasingly, however, Keefer in the 1950s began focusing on performing on the "small screen", accepting more roles in a wide variety of television series.

Later films and television
Keefer appeared in dozens of television series. He also had small roles in some feature films, including Woody Allen's Sleeper. In 1966, he played the character Irving Christiansen in the movie The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming. He also had a small role in Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone prequel “Time Element” in 1958, starring William Benedix, Darryl Hickman and Martin Balsam. Keefer gave a moving performance as Dan in The Twilight Zone S3 E8 "It's a Good Life" (1961), whose birthday party turns fatal when he opposes six year old Anthony, played by Billy Mumy.

Personal life
On May 7, 1950, Keefer married the actress Catherine McLeod, and the couple remained married for 47 years, until her death on May 11, 1997.

In 1957, Don played husband to Catherine on an episode of Gunsmoke titled “Wrong Man” (S2E29), his character being a homesteader turned cowardly killer and abusive husband who she finally leaves.

At the time of Catherine's death (following his retirement in acting), the Keefers were living in Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County, California. The three Keefer sons are Donald McLeod, John H., and Thomas James. Keefer died at the age of 98 on September 7, 2014.

Polycap is a specific five-in-one fixed dose combination polypill created by Cadila Pharmaceuticals Limited of Ahmedabad, India that combines moderate levels of five different medications in a single, one-a-day pill aimed at reducing/preventing heart attacks and strokes.

Polycap containing three generic blood pressure medications and a statin dramatically reduces the risk of heart-related illness in people with no prior history of heart problems, according to the results of a recent clinical trial presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2020.

This result comes as part of the International Polycap Study (TIPS)-3, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to test the effectiveness of this fixed-dose combination therapy. The study investigators also examined the impact of aspirin alone and in combination with the polypill. When taken on its own, Polycap reduces by 20% the risk of heart attack, stroke, procedures to reopen clogged arteries and other heart disease, the researchers reported. The Polycap combined with daily low-dose aspirin is even more effective, reducing heart health problems by up to 40%. The study results were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Polycap combines 100 milligrams of aspirin, with simvastatin (a generic version of Zocor, the cholesterol-lowering statin; 20 mg) and low doses of three blood pressure medications, beta blocker atenolol (50 mg), ACE inhibitor ramipril (5 mg) and diuretic hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg). And despite containing multiple drugs, the pill has a fairly small size which can facilitate swallowing.

The International Polycap Study - 3 (TIPS-3)
The International Polycap Study 3 (TIPS-3) was a 2x2x2 factorial design study presented in two parts during the late-breaking clinical trial session. In TIPS-3, investigators randomized 5713 participants across 9 countries to determine if a fixed-dose combination tablet reduced the risk of major cardiovascular outcomes in a primary prevention population. As part of the factorial design, the additional interventions included aspirin alone compared with placebo as well as polypill plus aspirin compared with double placebo.

To be included in the study, patients had to be at intermediate risk for myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death. The participants’ average age was 64 years. Men 50 years and older and women 55 years and older with an INTERHEART risk score ≥ 10 (or men and women 65 years and older with an INTERHEART risk score ≥ 5) were included in the international study. Roughly 53% of study participants were women. Mean LDL cholesterol level and systolic blood pressure at baseline were 121 mg/dL and 144.5 mm Hg, respectively. For the trial, participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups. They were asked to take one of the following daily: both the polypill and aspirin, the polypill alone, aspirin alone, or only a placebo. The top-enrolling countries were India, the Philippines, Columbia, and Bangladesh; Canada enrolled 131 patients.

Medications included in the polypill were atenolol, 100 mg; ramipril, 10 mg; hydrochlorothiazide, 25 mg; and simvastatin, 40 mg.

Only 4.4% of those who took the polypill alone had a heart attack, stroke, artery-reopening procedure or died of heart disease, compared to 5.5% who took the placebo. About 4.1% of those who took aspirin alone developed heart-related illness, compared to 4.7% of those with the placebo.

Combining a polypill with aspirin provided the best benefits, the study authors said. The polypill/aspirin combination reduced heart problems and deaths by 31%, the researchers discovered. People who continued to take the pill without interruption for about four years saw a 40% reduced risk of heart problems.

The trial included a follow-up period of 5 years. During which, participants were monitored for nonfatal myocardial infarctions, nonfatal strokes, heart failure, cardiac arrest, and cardiovascular death.

The study was 95% funded by charitable organizations like the Wellcome Trust UK , parent company Cadila Pharmaceuticals and other government agencies.

The Indian Polycap Study (TIPS)
A study called The Indian Polycap Study (TIPS) was sponsored by Cadila Pharmaceuticals Limited, (where the drug development program was coordinated by JP Parswani, President, and Dr. Arun Maseeh, Vice-President Medical Affairs), and led by Dr. Salim Yusuf of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and Dr. Prem Pais of St. John's Medical College in Bangalore, India. The results of the randomized, controlled, double-blind study, reported in March 2009 at an American College of Cardiology conference and published online by The Lancet, documented the outcome of 2,000 individuals with an average age of 54 given the medication, all of whom had at least one heart disease risk factor: diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, obesity or smoking. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00443794.

During a 12-week treatment period, 400 of the study participants were given Polycap. The remainder were divided into eight groups of 200 who were given either individual components or groups of them. Three of the groups of 200 received only aspirin, simvastatin or thiazide respectively; Three groups received two of the three blood pressure medications; Another received all three blood pressure medications, while the last received all three combined with aspirin.

The individuals who were given Polycap saw their blood pressure drop from six to seven points for both their systolic and diastolic levels. These reductions in blood pressure could cut the risk of heart disease by 62% and of stroke by 48% based on the results of other studies that showed risk reductions from cutting blood pressure levels. The combined pill was almost as effective as the individual pills with no increase in side effects.

Generic versions of the five components cost $17 per month in the United States as of 2009. Estimates are that the combined dose would sell for far less while offering the psychological benefit of reducing the "pill burden" on patients taking multiple medications. Distribution would require approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory bodies worldwide. Details of the polycap data were widely reported in the popular media, including USA Today, The Guardian (UK), BBC, CBS Healthwatch, ABC News, India Today.

Polycap PK Study
The Polycap (Cadila) has been found to be safe and effective for reducing multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Bioavailability of each component of PolycapTM and absence of their mutual interaction relative to single component reference formulations have been evaluated by a group of scientists led by Dr. Bhaswat Chakraborty.

Bioavailability of the components of the Polycap (aspirin, ramipril, simvastatin, atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide) when formulated as a single capsule was compared to identical capsules with each of its components administered separately in a five arm, randomized, single-dose, two-period, two-treatment, two-sequence, crossover trial with at least 2 week washout period in a total of 195 healthy humans.  Plasma concentrations of each drug and where applicable its active metabolite were measured using validated LC-MS/MS and UPLC. Mean pharmacokinetic parameters and their standard deviations were computed for each analyte.  Comparative bioavailability and absence of drug-drug interaction for each component were computed based on a point estimate of test/reference (T/R) ratio of geometric means falling within 80-125% for Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞.

The ratio of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ for Polycap and reference drugs was within 80-125% for atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide, ramipril, ramiprilat and dose normalized salicylic acid. However, for simvastatin the point estimate of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ for Ln-transformed data were significantly lower (~25%) and for its active metabolite,  simvastatin acid, it was significantly higher (~60%). Thus, the increased bioavailability of active simvastatin acid compensated for the loss of bioavailability of simvastatin alone. There was no indication of kinetic drug-drug interaction in any of components.

Francis Lee Jaques (September 28, 1887 – July 24, 1969) was an American wildlife painter.

Jaques hunted and trapped with his father and connected with editors and writers from major hunting magazines. While still a teenager, Jacques paid ten dollars to buy a taxidermy shop in Aitkin, Minnesota. He toughed out a few winters scarcely earning enough money to survive and bartering paintings to pay for services. He alternated railroad work in northern Minnesota and taxidermy in Aitkin to make ends meet.

In 1918, Jaques was drafted into the army. During his six-month stay in St. Emilione, France, he recorded his surroundings in several small pencil drawings and watercolor paintings. He came home with a rank of Private First Class and returned to Duluth, Minnesota. There he met Clarence C. Rosenkranz, an artist of the impressionist style, who helped him mix color and express his feelings through art.

In 1924, Jaques sent some of his paintings to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. His talent was recognized, and he was invited to join the museum's team as a background painter. The team traveled around the world gathering exhibit specimens. Jaques recorded his experiences throughout.

Jaques was almost 40 years old when he met Florence Page, a friend of his landlord. She was a budding writer just out of a prestigious school in the East, but was originally from Decatur, Illinois. Jaques and Florence found common ground in nature and developed a friendship. They were married in 1927.

Francis and Florence Page Jaques spent time camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of Minnesota. The time provided inspiration for their now-famous books, Snowshoe Country and Canoe Country. Sales from these two books helped fund the Jaqueses' involvement in the conservation project at Susie Island in Lake Superior. The conservation area was later named The Francis Lee Jaques Memorial Preserve in his honor.

The Jaqueses lived in New York City for over 25 years before returning to Minnesota to work at the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History on the University of Minnesota campus. Jaques worked designing and painting diorama backgrounds until his retirement.

The Jaqueses' final years were spent living in North Oaks, a few miles north of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Jaques painted daily and created a mountainous body of work. Upon his death Florence completed and arranged for publication of his biography, Francis Lee Jaques: Artist of the Wilderness World. She donated his remaining art works to the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History in Minneapolis and to the Saint Louis County Historical Society, Duluth, Minnesota. The second largest collection of Jaques art outside of the James Ford Bell Museum is located at the Jaques Art Center (121 2nd Street NW, Aitkin, MN 56431). Besides the permanent displays Jaques Art Center holds annual celebrations of his art that regularly include additional pieces on loan from the James Ford Bell Museum.

Frances Lee Jaques died July 24, 1969, at the age of 81. His wife, Florence Page Jaques, died January 1, 1972, at 82 years of age.
