U.S. Route 150 (US 150) in Kentucky is a  east–west highway that runs from the Indiana state line above the Ohio River to US 25/KY 1249 at Mount Vernon.

Route description

Louisville/Jefferson County
Starting on the Sherman Minton Bridge over the Ohio River, I-64 and US 150 enter the city of Louisville. Shortly after going through the bridge, both routes encounter I-264 at a directional T interchange. The freeway continues as an elevated freeway along the riverfront, passing the nearby McAlpine Locks and Dam. On the next exit, US 150 leaves the freeway and enters onto 22nd Street. The route runs through the neighborhood of Portland and Russell along this street. South of Griffiths Avenue, US 150 splits into a one-way pair, with eastbound traffic continuing to use 22nd Street and westbound traffic using Dr. W. J. Hodge (21st) Street and 22nd Street Connector. South of Main Street and Market Street, US 150 runs concurrently with US 31W and US 60. US 150 then turns eastward along Broadway, departing from US 31W/US 60.

In downtown, US 150 encounters I-65 between 1st Street and Brook Street. However, there are no direct connections to northbound and from southbound I-65. Just west of the Cave Hill Cemetery, US 150 turns southeast along US 31E (Baxter Avenue). Both routes soon turn southeast on Bardstown Road. The two routes then serve Strathmoor Manor, Strathmoor Village, Wellington, I-264 (Watterson Expressway), West Buechel, and I-265/KY 841 (Gene Snyder Freeway). South of I-265, the road becomes a four-lane divided roadway. The road reaches the city limit of Louisville shortly after intersecting with KY 660.

Mount Washington to Mount Vernon
After leaving Louisville and Jefferson County, US 31E/US 150 begins to bypass downtown Mount Washington. Just before intersecting with KY 44, the road downgrades to a four-lane undivided highway. Shortly thereafter, it then downgrades to two lanes. The two routes then serve Coxs Creek, and Nazareth. In Bardstown, both US 31E and US 150 split at a roundabout. At the same intersection, US 150 begins running concurrently with US 62 for around . Then, US 150 meets the Bluegrass Parkway (BG 9002) at a diamond interchange. The route then serves Fredericktown, St. Catharine, Springfield, and Texas. In Perryville, the route runs concurrently with US 68 for less than two blocks. KY 52 also begins to run concurrently with US 150.

In Danville, US 150 and KY 52 intersect US 127 Byp./US 150 Byp. (Danville Bypass). As both routes approach downtown, KY 34 and later US 127 briefly join in. After leaving downtown, KY 52 leaves US 150. After that, US 150 then enters onto a four-lane divided highway. This configuration is a continuation of the Danville Bypass. In Stanford, the route intersects with US 27 before returning to a two-lane undivided road. The route then serves Crab Orchard and Brodhead. In Mount Vernon, US 150 intersects with US 25/KY 1249. At this point, US 150 ends here.

Zero Degree is a 1998 postmodern, transgressive, lipogrammatic novel by Tamil author Charu Nivedita, later translated into Malayalam and English.

Awards and accolades
Zero Degree was longlisted for the 2013 edition of Jan Michalski Prize.
Zero Degree was inducted into the prestigious '50 Writers, 50 Books - The Best of Indian Fiction', published by HarperCollins.
 Zero Degree was selected as one of the fifteen incredible Indian novels.
The Sunday Guardian considers Zero Degree an important novel in Metafiction genre.

Literary contemporaries on Zero Degree
In his foreword to the Malayalam translation of Zero Degree, Paul Zacharia wrote, "It is like an open experimental laboratory. Amidst the smoke, noxious vapors, and beautiful imagery, I experienced a wondrous journey."
 Tarun Tejpal opines that Zero Degree is remarkable for its experimental voice and its varying and shifting tonalities.
Anil Menon considers Zero Degree bold and ambitious. He posits that the ancient fascination with language and reality continues to burst through the crust in Charu Nivedita’s works.
Noted translator Jason Grunebaum considers Zero Degree wildly exciting and complains that Charu does not write in Hindi, so that he would translate Charu's works to English.
Poet Vivek Narayanan says about Zero Degree: "I think we should take Zero Degree not just as a playful, ironic “postmodern” novel but as a novel of oppositions and contradictions: a deeply autobiographical novel where the self has been scattered, an ironic pastiche novel that speaks to raw experience, a defiantly cosmopolitan novel than nonetheless pins a very particular kind of schizophrenic rage that perhaps—I could be wrong—any Tamilian will immediately recognise."

Universities on Zero Degree
 Zero Degree was on the curriculum in Spring 2010 in a Comparative World Literature course, taught by Jordan Smith, at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB).
 University of Rochester has included Zero Degree in its translation program.
 The Malayalam translation of Zero Degree is in the curriculum for postgraduate students at the Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam.

"Save It for the Bedroom" is the debut single by British rock band You Me at Six, originally released in 2007. A re-recorded version was released in March 2009. The original recording was produced by Jason Wilson at Stakeout Studios in Hampton.  Wilson recorded all of their early work, helping develop the band's songwriting and performances from the age of 14.

The song is about how couples can tell abnormal behavioural styles of their partner leading to suspicion and then finally realising what has troubled them. In this case, sussing out that a partner has cheated on him/her (as the lyrics suggest). However, there is a mixed story when including the title as it shows a continuation of the relationship, "We'll save it for the bedroom".

The re-recorded version was featured on the soundtrack of Colin McRae: Dirt 2.

Music video
In the music video, the band members are in a Jeremy Kyle type talk show, dressing up as anti-social teenagers and disgruntled members of the public and couples which leads into a fight near the end, that started by the lead singer.

2007 original video
The original music video contains video excerpts of the band on tour, filmed all by a video camera of one of the band members. It features all band members and some touring crew partying and in some scenes has the band on stage playing the song live on separate tour dates. It is believed the footage is from their support tours with Angels & Airwaves, New Found Glory and the Audition.

Maruni is a Nepalese folk dance of the Magar community. Alongside Nepal, it is popular in Nepalese diasporic communities of India (Darjeeling, Assam, Sikkim), Bhutan and Myanmar. It is one of the oldest and most famous dance of the Nepalese community residing in these regions, originally danced as part of Dashain and Tihar festival. Dressed colorfully with rich ornaments, the dancers dance to commemorate "the victory of good over evil", accompanied by the traditional Nepali Naumati Baja orchestra.

Maruni Nach has been one of the significant identity of the Magar community since from the distant past until the present moment. In recent years, the dance has become in danger of extinction, due to lack of interest by young people in learning it. That fear has begun to mobilize some communities. Today, the community is pushing its young people to preserve the Maruni Nach.

History
The dance originated with the Magar community, and later on, people from the various communities started adopting it. Maruni as danced in Western Nepal is different than in other places. Maruni and Sorathi dances were created in Western Nepal by the Magar community, and Magars who migrated to Eastern Nepal started to make small changes as they performed it there too.  Nowadays other communities like Gurung, Kirat, and Khas also dance the Maruni dance on various occasions.

In the Balihang festival, Maruni, Sorathi, and Hurra (dances performed by the eastern Magars also known as Deusi Nach) are performed. It is believed to be originated from Magar Army during the 14th century on the behalf of sick King Balihang Rana Magar of Palpa, Pokhara Butwal. Balihang Rana Magar was a king during the 14th century (of Palpa, Pokhara, Baldeng, Butwal & Gorkhapur) during which the kingdom was extended from Palpa to Butwal and Gorakhpur. Deusi Re means "Priest-King" and Bahilo means "Let us help" which are related to the Balihang Rana Magar.

With time, Maruni was performed even during many personal events, especially marriages. Maruni is performed by both men and women who dress in colorful clothes, shining ornaments, and nose rings. Maruni performed by the Eastern Magars goes through several parts, like "Jhyaure, Saran Maruni, Sorathi Garra, Khyali, Maruni performed for the welfare of the danced house and at the last Maruni performed for accomplishing the dance. The dancers are usually accompanied by a clown who is called 'Dhatu Waray' which means liar but acts as comedian/joker. In the many forms of Maruni, nine unique instruments are used with the dance and this is called the Naumati Baja.

The styles of this dance vary according to where it is danced. The dance has different categories and styles depending on the songs. The song lyrics have purely based on their life and culture.

The Hubba Hubba Revue is a San Francisco–based neo-burlesque and variety show which opened in September 2006 and continues with weekly and monthly shows in San Francisco and Oakland.

Shows and locations
There are three versions of the show, all called The Hubba Hubba Revue. The main show is staged monthly on second Fridays at "DNA Lounge" in San Francisco, California. The burlesque and variety show involves dozens of local and touring performers. There are weekly shows every Monday at a smaller room in the same venue. A smaller monthly show was staged on the fourth Saturday at the "Uptown Nightclub" in Oakland, California., The Oakland show closed down in 2019. There are additional occasional shows staged for holidays or special occasions in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Description and cast
Jim Sweeney produces the show. He originally hosted Hubba Hubba Revue (as "Kingfish"), with co-host Eddie Dane. Dane died in March 2011. Jim Sweeney continues to host the show with co-host Alexa von Kickinface, and "Hooray Hostess" Maggie Motorboat as well as a rotating cast of co-hosts including Lee Presson from the swing revival band Lee Presson and the Nails, Jay Siren of Sacramento's "Sizzling Sirens Burlesque Experience" and, until her death in an automobile accident in May 2013, international burlesque star, Sparkly Devil.

Each monthly Hubba Hubba Revue show at DNA Lounge has a different theme, reflected in the burlesque acts, the opening skit, the go-go dancers' costumes and the flyer art. The rotating cast of characters includes female and male burlesque performers, as well as acrobats, aerialists, comedians, contortionists, magicians, vocalists, and other such variety performers. Although many of the acts are from the San Francisco Bay Area, a large and growing number of visiting performers from cities across the country and around the world have performed with Hubba Hubba Revue shows.

Flyer art
For each The Hubba Hubba Revue production, flyer artwork is commissioned from local artists. From 2006 to 2009, R. Black was responsible for the monthly "main-show" flyers. Black also introduced the idea of a "flyer girl" . Every month, a different performer would be chosen as the subject of the flyer. In January 2008, Sparkly Devil became The Hubba Hubba Revues first flyer girl. That month's theme was Creepshow Peepshow. Black also implemented the printing of flyers to a 2″ × 6″ bookmark size as well as the standard 4″ × 6″ ( page) size. In February 2010, performer/illustrator Casey Castille took over "main show" flyer duties. As of 2015, Castille continues to produce monthly flyers and posters for the show.

Notability and awards
On December 8, 2010, The Hubba Hubba Revue was named on the Travel Channel's list of Top 10 Best Burlesque Shows in the world. This was the show's first non-local recognition.

John Dunlap Stevenson (June 8, 1821 – January 22, 1897) was an American attorney, politician, and soldier in the U.S. Army in two wars. He was a brigadier general of volunteers during the American Civil War. In 1866 he was nominated and confirmed for appointment as brevet major general of volunteers.

Biography
Stevenson was born at Staunton, Virginia on June 8, 1821. After attending the College of South Carolina, he began practicing law in Franklin County, Missouri, in 1842. He served as a company commander in the 1st Missouri Mounted Volunteers, starting June 27, 1846, during Brigadier General Stephen Kearny's invasion of the New Mexico Territory in the Mexican–American War. Stevenson was mustered out of the volunteers on June 24, 1847. Stevenson later became a member of the Missouri state legislature. Even though he had been born in Virginia and had graduated from college in South Carolina, he became a strong supporter of the Union cause.

Stevenson entered the service in the Union Army as colonel of the 7th Missouri Volunteer Infantry Regiment. He soon had temporary command of brigades in the Army of the Tennessee.

On March 13, 1863, President of the United States Abraham Lincoln appointed Stevenson brigadier general of volunteers in the Union Army, to rank from November 29, 1862. Lincoln nominated Stevenson for the appointment on March 4, 1863, and the United States Senate confirmed the appointment on March 11, 1863. Because of a change in the rank date, which was initially to be on December 24, 1862, Lincoln submitted the nomination again on December 12, 1864, and the U.S. Senate confirmed the appointment on March 14, 1865. Stevenson resigned from the army as a brigadier general on April 22, 1864, but was recommissioned to rank from November 29, 1862, on August 7, 1864. He served in the Department of West Virginia thereafter.

Stevenson commanded the 3rd Brigade, 3rd Division, XVII Corps, referred to as the "Irish Brigade" during the Vicksburg Campaign. He is most famous for making a charge at the Battle of Champion Hill which broke the Confederate left flank. On March 26, 1867, President Andrew Johnson nominated Stevenson for appointment as a brevet brigadier general in the Regular Army (United States), to rank from March 2, 1867, and the United States Senate confirmed the appointment on April 5, 1867, for his service at Champion Hill. Stevenson participated in the subsequent siege and mine explosion at Vicksburg. He later commanded the District of Corinth.

Stevenson was mustered out of the volunteers on January 15, 1866. On February 24, 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated Stevenson for appointment to the grade of brevet major general of volunteers, to rank from March 13, 1865, and the United States Senate confirmed the appointment on May 4, 1866.

Stevenson was commissioned a colonel in the Regular Army (United States) and appointed to command the 30th U.S. Infantry Regiment, July 28, 1866. He was unassigned March 15, 1869. He was assigned to the 25th U.S. Infantry, December 15, 1870 and discharged from the regular army December 31, 1870. He returned to the practice law after his discharge from the army.

John D. Stevenson died in St. Louis, Missouri on January 22, 1897, and was buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery, St. Louis.

Yana Vladimirovna Demyanchuk (, born 1993) is a Ukrainian artistic gymnast who won gold on the balance beam at the 2009 European Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

Early life and training
Demyanchuk started gymnastics at 6 years of age. Initially, she trained in Ivano-Frankivsk, and later at the Republic Higher School of Physical Education in Kyiv.

Gymnastics career

2007–08

Demyanchuk began her senior career in 2007 at a tri-country meet between Ukraine, Germany, and Catalonia. On vault, she competed a Yurchenko layout. On floor exercise, her tumbling passes were a double pike, a layout double twist, a front one-and-a-half twist to front layout, and a front handspring through to a layout full twist. On uneven bars, she performed a Tkatchev, a toe-on Tkatchev, a Pak salto, and a double pike dismount. On balance beam, her skills included a front tuck, back tuck, standing Arabian, roundoff–back layout, and double tuck dismount.

In 2008, she competed at the Voronin Cup in Moscow, placing 3rd in the all-around and in the vault, floor exercise, and uneven bars finals. She also competed at the Junior European Championships, where she finished 6th in the balance beam final.

2009
In February, Demyanchuk competed at the 2009 WOGA Classic in Frisco, Texas, where she placed 3rd in the all-around, 1st on uneven bars, 2nd on floor exercise, and 4th on the balance beam. She also competed at the Nadia Comăneci International Invitational in Oklahoma City, where she placed 2nd in the all-around (behind 2008 Olympic floor exercise champion Sandra Izbaşa of Romania), 3rd on vault, 1st on uneven bars, 4th on balance beam, and 3rd on floor exercise.

Demyanchuk had her breakout competition at the 2009 European Championships in April, winning the balance beam title ahead of Olympians Anamaria Tămârjan and Gabriela Drăgoi of Romania. She also qualified 4th into the all-around final, where she placed 12th.

At the 2009 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in London in October, Demyanchuk competed with Ukrainian teammates Dariya Zgoba, Valentina Holenkova, and Anastasia Koval, but performed poorly. She was the second reserve for the all-around final after finishing 26th in qualifications. She was 37th on the uneven bars, 46th on beam, and 30th on floor, and did not compete in any finals.

Demyanchuk went on to compete at the Swiss Cup in Zürich, where she and Mykola Kuksenkov placed 4th, behind one Swiss pair and two German pairs, with a total score of 29.3 in the last round.

2010
At the 2010 World Championships in Rotterdam, Demyanchuk competed on only two events, bars and beam. She placed 10th on beam in the preliminary round and qualified to the event final, where she fell on her dismount and finished 8th with a score of 13.733.

The Duchers (  or дучеры) was the Russian name of the people populating the shores of the middle course of the Amur River, approximately from the mouth of the Zeya down to the mouth of the Ussuri, and possibly even somewhat further downstream. Their ethnic identity is not known with certainty, but it is usually assumed that they were a Tungusic people, related to the Jurchens and/or the Nanais.

The name of this ethnic group is sometimes also written in English as "Jucher".

Life of the Duchers
The total number of Duchers (including other related Manchu groups, but not the Daurs or Evenks) of the Amur Valley at the time of the appearance of the Russian explorers in the region ca. 1650 has been estimated by modern scholars at 14,000.

According to the Russian explorers of the time, the Duchers, as well as the related groups, the Goguls, and their north-western neighbors, the Daurs, were agriculturalists. They grew rye, wheat, barley, millet, oats, peas, and hemp, as well as a number of vegetables. The Duchers had horses and cattle; pigs were a particularly important source of meat. They did some hunting and fishing as well.

According to the 17th-century Cossacks' reports, the Duchers lived in fortified villages () with 60 and more houses in each.

The predecessor of the Qing fortress Aigun (which was originally located on the left - now Russian - bank of the Amur, opposite to its later location) was  a Ducher town, currently known to the archaeologists as the Grodekovo site (Гродековское городище), after the nearby village of Grodekovo.  It is located south of the city of Blagoveshchensk and the fall of the Zeya into the Amur. Yerofey Khabarov reported the existence of this town (which he called Aytyun (Айтюн))  to the Yakutsk voivode D. Frantsbekov in 1652. According to the archaeologists, this fortress was first built around the end of the first or beginning of the second millennium CE.

The "tribute" of furs, grain, and livestock, collected (or looted, as the case may be) by the Cossacks from the Daurs and the Duchers was the main economic benefit derived by the Russians from their expansion in the region in the early 1650s, and, in order to deny it to them, the Qing government starting in 1654 resettled the Ducher farmers from the Amur valley to the Sungari and Hurka Rivers further south. The Daurs were resettled (to the Nenjiang River Valley) as well. When Onufriy Stepanov visited the lower Sungari in 1656, he found the Ducher villages deserted.

Ethnic identity
The ethnic identification of the Duchers and even the meaning of their name (and whether it was also a self-name) remain controversial.

Archaeologically, the Ducher culture can be identified since the second half of the 13th century (i.e., soon after the destruction of the Jurchen Jin Empire by the Mongols), being a successor of the earlier culture of the Amur Jurchens.

According to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, today's Nanai, Ulch, and other Tungusic people of the middle and lower Amur valley have incorporated descendants of the Duchers. The Russian scholar B.P. Polevoy goes even further, identifying the Duchers (at least, the ones from the Sungari / Ussuri mouth area) with the Nanais.

Another, and probably  more common, view, expressed e.g. by the Russian archaeologist D.P. Bolotin or Tungusologist A.A. Burykin is that the Duchers were part of the Jurchens. This would imply that after being resettled to the Sungari and the Hurka they simply merged into the Manchu people.

The etymology of the word "Duchers" (which, besides дючеры and дучеры, had a number of other spelling variants in the 17th-century Russian manuscripts: чючар, джучар, жучер, дючан) is controversial as well. Some researches hold it obvious that it is related to Jurchens' self-name, jušen. Another view, expressed by A.A. Burykin, is that Russian "дючер" (Dyucher) may have come from Manchu , , meaning "guards along the river".

Mark Summers (born 4 August 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the late 1980s.

Summers played his early football at Old Xaverians with a strong presence before joining Richmond. He was used mostly as a ruckman and centre half forward in the VFL and after just three appearances in 1988 was a regular for the second half of the 1989 season. He only twice played in a winning team at Richmond after being struck down with a knee injury in game, forcing Summers to retire.

He competed in the 1988 Adelaide Bicentennial Carnival with the Australian Amateurs side.

Summers is now a musculoskeletal physiotherapist and has three children, Madeleine, Claudia and Harrison.

Thiago Rangel Cionek (, ; born 21 April 1986) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Italian  club Avellino. Born in Brazil, he played for the Poland national team.

Club career

Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Cionek began his career with local Cuiabá Esporte Clube. He moved to Europe for a brief spell at Portugal's GD Bragança before returning to Brazil with Clube de Regatas Brasil.

In 2008, Cionek went back to Europe, playing four seasons with Jagiellonia Białystok in his ancestral Poland. The team won the 2009–10 Polish Cup and the 2010 Polish SuperCup.

He then had a year in the Italian Serie B with Padova Calcio, before signing for another club from the same division, Modena FC on 2 September 2013. On 11 January 2016, he joined his third Italian club, US Città di Palermo of Serie A. Two years later, with his contract due to expire at the end of the season, he was sold to SPAL of the same league on a 2-year contract.

On 28 September 2020, he signed a three-year contract with Serie B club Reggina.

On 9 August 2023, Serie C side Avellino announced the signing of Cionek on a two-year contract.

Rembert Wurlitzer Co. was a distinguished firm in New York City that specialized in fine musical instruments and bows.

Founded in Europe in 1856, the Wurlitzer Co. was a world-famous musical instrument company known for its many ateliers in the United States.

Rembert Rudolph Wurlitzer (1904–1963), violin expert and a grandson of the founder of Chicago's Wurlitzer Co. (pianos, organs, jukeboxes), bowed out of the family firm in 1949 to found Manhattan's Rembert Wurlitzer Co., which has  bought, sold, authenticated and or restored more than half the world's 600 known Stradivariuses, and supplied instruments to Fritz Kreisler, David Oistrakh and Isaac Stern among others.

"Wurlitzer had built up a first-class workshop inviting the great Simone Fernando  Sacconi and his pupil Dario D'Attilli, where many of the best American repairers were trained. In his last years Sacconi spent much time teaching in  Cremona, Italy, and published I segreti di Stradivari (Cremona, 1972), setting out in detail Stradivari’s working methods."

They amassed a very important collection of the finest instruments (of the violin family) which included  Antonio Stradivarius, Giuseppe Guarneri, Domenico Montagnana, Sanctus Serafin, Lorenzo Storioni, Francesco Ruggeri, Joannes Baptista Guadagnini, Nicolas Lupot,  J. B. Vuillaume to name a few, as well as an important fine bow collection including bows by François Tourte, Dominique Peccatte, Nicolaus Kittel, Jean Pierre Marie Persois and many others. Most importantly was the acquisition of the Henry Hottinger Collection in 1967.

"He (Henry Hottinger) had an early interest in the violin, and bought his first Stradivari in 1935. His ambition after the war was to acquire one outstanding example of each of the old  Cremonese masters, and in the case of Stradivari and Guarneri  ‘del Gesù’, one example from each significant period of their production.
An illustrated catalogue (R. Wurlitzer: The Henry Hottinger Collection, 1967)  was published following the collection's sale to Rembert Wurlitzer Co. (the most highly regarded string instrument dealership of its day).
The instruments (about 30 violins in all) were subsequently dispersed all over the world."

This  shop became a leading international centre for rare string instruments  and was patronized by many of the preeminent names in the concert world.
From the turn of the century, the shop also imported many fine instruments made by the best contemporary makers of Europe (at the time)  including Albert Nürnberger, whom they  represented  as "the greatest modern bow maker" (c. 1912).

Quotes

"If you are not already aware of it, having papers from the Wurlitzer Company (Rembert Wurlitzer) is as close to the "gold standard" as you can get! So many of today's expert were trained in their workshops and their legacy of quality and integrity is one  that sets the benchmark for American Violin shops today.  It would not be an exaggeration to assert that Rembert Wurlitzer and his company started the "Golden Age of American Violinmaking" that still continues to this day."
"In 1951 Sacconi went with his pupil D’Attili to work for Rembert Wurlitzer. A first-class workshop was built up and many of the best American repairers were trained in it. In his last years Sacconi spent much time teaching in Cremona, Italy, and published I segreti di Stradivari (Cremona, 1972), setting out in detail Stradivari’s working methods."
"To this day (presently 2009), Rembert Wurlitzer certification is still highly regarded and respected. That says a great deal about his expertise and reputation."

Derek A. Long (11 August 1925 – 16 July 2020) was a professor of structural chemistry at the University of Bradford, working in the field of Raman spectroscopy.

Life
Long was born on 11 August 1925 in Gloucester, England and was educated at Sir Thomas Rich's School and Jesus College, Oxford, where he studied chemistry with Leonard Woodward and obtained a first-class honours degree followed by a doctorate.  His area of research was Raman spectroscopy.  He then worked at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis for a year before returning to Oxford in 1950 as a research fellow, and then in 1956 moved to the University College of Wales, Swansea as a lecturer.  In 1966, having risen to the rank of Reader at Swansea, he was appointed Professor of Structural Chemistry at the University of Bradford, the first person to hold the title. He was the first director of the university's Molecular Spectroscopy Unit from 1982 onwards, until his retirement (with the title of Emeritus Professor) in 1992. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Reims and made a Foreign Member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Rome. He died on 16 July 2020.

Works
Long's first published paper was co-written with Chapman in 1949 for the Transactions of the Faraday Society on "Relative intensities in the Raman spectra of some Group IV tetrahalides".  In total, he published in the region of 200 scientific papers on Raman spectroscopy, including articles on its history and development.  He was the first in Britain to construct a recording Raman spectrometer (1948) and a hyper Raman spectrometer (1970).  He was the joint founding editor of the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy (1973 onwards), later becoming editor-in-chief.  His book, Raman Spectroscopy (1977), has achieved a considerable reputation and been translated into various languages.  A further book, The Raman Effect, was published in 2002.

The Praxis Discussion Series was established by the World Bank office in Sydney, Australia in order to provide a forum to discuss ideas, approaches, initiatives and policy pertinent to international development. Launched in January 2009 in partnership with Australian public affairs television channel A-PAC, the series aims to stimulate debate and promote the exchange of ideas. A one-hour panel-style program, the show is recorded throughout the year at the World Bank office.

Each session features three specialists on a select topic relating to international development. To coincide with the World Bank's work in the Pacific region, a World Bank representative is usually a part of the panel, joined by two other guest speakers providing different perspectives on the issue at hand.

Recognising a gap in the development conversation, Praxis opened its doors to one and all, allowing the general public to sit alongside representatives from Australian government departments, civil society and non-government organisations, and the private sector, as well as various academics and students, in order to tackle development issues from a variety of perspectives. With the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals coming up in 2015, such discussions are becoming increasingly important. Interactivity is valued above all else, and every audience member has the opportunity to have their say and question the views of the panelists.

Discussions are also broadcast in Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Papua New Guinea, while the World Bank's YouTube channel provides content online. Further, the involvement of the Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) has meant that audiences in Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea have been able to take part in discussions via video conference.

Roman Mikhailovich the Old (c. 1218 – after 1288 ) was an Olgovichi prince. He was prince of Chernigov (1246/1247 – after 1288), and of Bryansk (1246 – after 1288).

Biography
Roman was the second son of Mikhail Vsevolodovich (who later became prince of Chernigov, and grand prince of Kiev) by his wife, Elena Romanovna (or Maria Romanovna), a daughter of prince Roman Mstislavich of Halych. His mother most likely persuaded her husband to name their second son after her father. Around 1243, Roman’s elder brother, Rostislav Mikhailovich was disowned by their father when he decided to stay in Hungary.

On September 20, 1246, Mikhail Vsevolodovich was executed by the Tatars; Roman’s patrimony was Bryansk which controlled the water routes from Chernihiv (today Chernihiv in Ukraine) to Smolensk and across the Vyatichi lands to Suzdalia. The Lyubetskiy sinodik and the Ermolinskiy Chronicle identify him as the prince of Chernihiv. In the light of Batu Khan’s directive that only those princes who submitted to him would receive a yarlik (a patent), Roman obviously visited the khan after his father’s execution. The chronicles do not report his visit, but John de Plano Carpini alludes to it.

If, as is most likely the case, this reference was to Roman, Batu Khan gave him the yarlik not only for his patrimonial domain of Bryansk, but also for Chernihiv. On the other hand, other chronicles never refer to Roman as the prince of Chernigov. Available evidence suggests that, even though he held the yarlik for Chernihiv, the town was probably occupied by Batu Khan’s official (baskak), who requisitioned it for himself; therefore Roman was merely the titular prince of Chernigov. Nevertheless, he was probably instrumental in having the bishop of Chernigov transferred to Bryansk.

Under the year 1264, the Hypatian Chronicle reports that Roman of Bryansk sent his eldest son, Mikhail Romanovich to escort Olga Romanovna, one of his sisters, to her betrothed, Vsevolod Vasilkovich of Volhynia. 10 years later the same chronicler states that Khan Mengu-Timur ordered a number of princes, including “Roman of Debryansk” (i.e. Bryansk) and his son Oleg Romanovich, to campaign against the Lithuanians.

In 1288, according to an account of the foundation of the Uspenskiy Svenskiy Monastery in Bryansk, Roman became blind and was cured through the intervention of an icon of the Mother of God. In thanksgiving for his cure, he founded the Uspenskiy Monastery near the Desna River.

According to some accounts, the Tatars killed him at the Golden Horde.

The TSG Backnang Fussball is a German association football club from the city of Backnang, Baden-Württemberg. The club's most notable time was between 1965 and 1976, when it reached as far as Germany's second division for one season.

The club is one of four legally independent entities of the mother club TSG Backnang 1846.

History
The TSG Backnang was formed on 9 May 1846 as a gymnastics club.

Independently from this club, the FV Backnang formed in 1919 as a football club. It existed as such until the end of the Second World War, when the occupation authorities banned all pre-war sport associations and new ones had to be formed. In Backnang, the Sportvereinigung Backnang was formed, which included a number of pre-war associations, including the footballers. Eventually, the club returned to the original name of the gymnastics club, TSG.

The club did not break through to the higher reaches of German football until 1965, when it earned promotion to the tier-three Amateurliga Nordwürttemberg, where it finished fifth in its first season. The year after, the TSG came second in the league, behind the VfB Stuttgart Amateure, the second team of VfB which was not entitled to promotion to the professional Regionalliga Süd. It was therefore TSG Backnang who took their place in the promotion round, where the team finished first on equal points with the Offenburger FV. In a promotion decider, TSG won 1–0 and earned promotion to the second division.

On 21 November 1967, the club separated into four independent departments, one of them the football department. The reason for this was the promotion of the football team to the Regionalliga, a professional league, which had financial and legal implications for the club that the other departments did not want to carry. TSG only lasted for one season on the professional level, finishing second-last and being relegated back to the Amateurliga again. It came third in its first season back in the Amateurliga in 1968–69, after this it became a mid-table side in the league in the following seasons. After a number of good years, the TSG finished 16th in the league in 1976 and was relegated to the fourth tier.

After this, TSG Backnang disappeared into the lower amateur leagues until 1983, playing in the Landesliga Württemberg-Staffel 1 (V), when it achieved promotion to the tier-four Verbandsliga Württemberg. It played at this level for nine seasons, before being relegated again, without truly coming close to promotion to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. In 1991, the club won the Württemberg Cup, beating SSV Reutlingen 1–0. After a three-year absence, it returned to the Verbandsliga in 1995, played there for three years, after which they were relegated again.

TSG made one more return to the Verbandsliga for the 2003–04 season but was relegated again immediately. After that, the club played in the Landesliga Württemberg-Staffel 1 as an upper table side until winning the league in 2014 and earning promotion back to the Verbandsliga.

The club is famous for having a single ultra, named Nico.

Hungary has a tax-funded universal healthcare system, organized by the state-owned National Health Insurance Fund (). While healthcare is considered universal, several reasons persist preventing Hungarian nationals to access healthcare services. For instance, a Hungarian citizen who lived abroad but is unable to show contributions to another country's healthcare system will not be able to access the Hungarian healthcare system free of charge. However, to the OECD, 100% of the total population is covered by universal health insurance, which is absolutely free for children (all people under 16), mothers or fathers with babies, students, pensioners (everyone over 64), people with low income, handicapped people (including physical and mental disorders), priests and other church employees. In 2022 the cost of public health insurance is 8,400 HUF per month (280 HUF/day) which is the equivalent of $23.69. The healthcare system underwent significant changes which also resulted in improving life expectancy (7.48 years for men and 4.92 years for women between 1993 and 2013) and a very low infant mortality rate (4.6 per 1,000 live births in 2014). According to the OECD Hungary spent 7.8% of its GDP on health care in 2012. Total health expenditure was $US1,688.7 per capita in 2011, US$1,098.3governmental-fund (65%) and US$590.4 private-fund (35%).

Doctors' pay is the lowest among the OECD countries. General practitioners are paid 1.4 times the average wage and hospital specialists 1.6 times.

History

The first hospitals go back to the 13th-century mining towns of Hungary. The first mining health insurance was founded by János Thurzó in 1496. The first modern insurer was established in 1907, named Országos Munkásbetegsegélyező és Balesetbiztosító Pénztár ("National Workers' Sick-benefit and Accident Fund").

The first steps to overall health insurance took place in the Horthy era with the creation of Országos Társadalombiztosítási Intézet (lit. "National Social Insurance Institution") in 1928 (This is the predecessor of present-day Országos Egészségbiztosítási Pénztár.). Social services were complete by 1938, at that time the Hungarian social health insurance system was the most progressive and charitable in East-Central Europe.

After  World War II the Communist government fully nationalized social insurance. Since then the Hungarian healthcare system has been state-owned, overall, and available to all people.

The free-market shift initiated after the end of communist rule in 1989-1990 put a strain on the largely centralized, wholly tax-funded public health system, which required far-reaching reforms. These resulted in the creation of the National Healthcare Fund (), in 1993. The OEP, predominantly based on a social insurance system, is the public organization currently controlling the management of health care in Hungary. 83% of the financing for health care comes from taxes and other public revenues.

Participation in the insurance scheme is mandatory for everyone in the workforce, including the self-employed. Most private hospitals also operate under the OEP framework. Because of past hiring policies, Hungarian hospitals often have redundancies of doctors, and a lack of nurses, resulting in an unproductive misuse of human resources.

So-called "gratitude payments", another communist legacy, require in practice a cash payment to have access to better treatments. According to the survey conducted by the Euro health consumer index in 2015 Hungary was among the European countries in which unofficial payments to doctors were reported most commonly. In 2020 the government announced a crackdown on these payments along with an unprecedented pay rise for doctors.

Medical treatment deemed "medically necessary" is provided free of charge for European citizens in the country.

Infrastructure
As a high-income nation, Hungary has a relatively developed health infrastructure. Ambulances of the Országos Mentőszolgálat (OMSZ, "National Ambulance Service") reach all over the country within 15 minutes at the very latest. In 2013 OMSZ built 20 new ambulance stations and renewed 60 others with the purchase of 200 new ambulances.

Air ambulance service was completed in 2009 with the grand opening of Szentes air ambulance station. Air ambulance bases (in Budaörs, Balatonfüred, Sármellék, Pécs, Szentes, Debrecen, Miskolc) cover the whole country. Helicopters can reach 85% of the country's territory within 15 minutes at the very latest. All national and county hospitals have heliports, including the specialized and most professional university clinics and emergency centers in Budapest, Pécs, Szeged, and Debrecen.

Medical tourism

Hungary is one of the main destinations of medical tourism in Europe. The country leads in dental tourism, its share is 42% in Europe and 21% worldwide. The first medical tourists were Germans and Austrians in the 1980s, looking for cheap and top-quality dentistry services. Since the fall of Communism medical tourism is an emerging business, 60,000-70,000 people visit Hungary for dental treatments every year, earning 65–70 billion Hungarian forint (~$US325–350 million) for the dental sector alone. The cost of medical treatments is between 40% and 70% of the cost in the United Kingdom, United States, and Scandinavia. The most popular medical treatments are dentistry, cosmetic surgery, orthopedic surgery, cardiac rehabilitation, fertility treatment, dermatology, anti-aging treatment, obesity treatment, addiction programs,, and eye surgery. Plastic surgery is also a key sector, and 30% of clients come from abroad and can save 40-80% on medical expenses. Hungary is home to several medicinal spas (Lake Hévíz, Széchenyi Medicinal Bath etc.), and spa tourism is sometimes combined with other treatments.

Bill Monaghan (born 28 August 1968) is the current coach of the East Fremantle Football Club and a former player for the Subiaco Lions and Peel Thunder. He previously coached West Perth from 2009 until 2018.

Monaghan played 204 games for Subiaco and Peel, captained Peel, and represented Western Australia at fullback.

He coached the Lions reserves to premierships in 2003 and 2005, and was an assistant coach under Peter German during the Lions' 2004 and 2006 premierships. When German stepped down in 2006, both German and most senior players favoured Monaghan to take over as senior coach, but the club board instead chose Scott Watters. In 2007 and 2008, Monaghan joined the Fremantle Football Club in a development role. He was appointed senior coach of West Perth for 2009, taking the team to the finals in his first year. Days after leading West Perth to the 2018 WAFL Grand Final, which they lost to Subiaco, Monaghan was sacked as West Perth's coach. He then took the vacant head coaching position at East Fremantle, where he led the Sharks to victory in the 2023 WAFL Grand Final, breaking a 25-year premiership drought.
