Ernst Christian Walz (February 28, 1802 – April 5, 1857) was a German classical philologist and archaeologist born in Münklingen, in present-day Baden-Württemberg.

He was a student and later a teacher at Tübinger Stift in Tübingen. In 1832 he became an associate professor, and in 1836 a full professor of classical philology at the University of Tübingen as well as director of the archaeological collection of the Philological Seminar.

Walz made several contributions in the field of classical Greek philology, being remembered for an edition of a series of ancient Greek rhetorical works known as "Rhetores Graeci" (1832–36, nine volumes). In 1838-39, with Johann Heinrich Christian Schubart, he published an edition of Pausanias ("Pausianae Descriptio Graeciae"). After the death of August Pauly in 1845, Walz, along with encyclopedist Wilhelm Siegmund Teuffel (1820-1858), took over publication of the "Realencyclopädie der Classischen Altertumswissenschaft", an encyclopedia in which he was an author of various archaeological and mythological subjects.

Dodecahydroxycyclohexane is an organic compound with molecular formula  or  or . It is a sixfold geminal diol with a cyclohexane backbone and can be regarded as a sixfold hydrate of cyclohexanehexone ().

Dihydrate
The dihydrate  can be crystallized from methanol as colorless plates or prisms, that decomposes at about 100 °C.

This compound was synthesized by J. Lerch in 1862 by oxidation of benzenehexol  or tetrahydroxy-p-benzoquinone  and characterized by R. Nietzki and others in 1885, although the product was for a long time assumed to be hexaketocyclohexane with water of crystallization ().

Indeed, this product is still commonly marketed as cyclohexanehexone octahydrate, hexaketocyclohexane octahydrate, triquinoyl octahydrate and similar names. Its true nature was suspected since the 1950s or earlier, but was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis only in 2005.

Pentavryso (, before 1928: Ζελιγκόσδη - Zeligkosdi) is a village in Kastoria Municipality, in Kastoria regional unit of Macedonia, Greece.

The village centre is on an altitude of 790 m. Pentavryso is sprawling from the northern slopes of a range of green and sandy hills of the Tsemna range (900 m). Kinina hill (902 m), at the forefront of the range stands over Pentavryso and overlooks the Kastoria plain. The village is 15 km SW from Kastoria and approximately 13 km W from Argos Orestiko. To the north and at about 1 km from Pentavryso is the eastward flowing Aliakmon river.l

Name
Linguist Ivan Duridanov states the village's original name comes from the Slavic personal name Zhelegod.

The modern Greek name of the village Pentavryso (Πεντάβρυσο) means "the place with plenty of water springs".

History
The discovery of various antiquities testifies to the existence of a settlement during the Roman Empire on the currently flattened hill "Agios Spyridonas", at a distance of only one kilometer from the current village. In Pentavryso, in the summer of 1999, archaeologists discovered the oldest tomb relief of Upper Macedonia and one of the best classical works (in female form) that have ever been discovered in the entire Macedonia.

Demographics
The Greek census (1920) recorded 705 people in the village and in 1923 there were 575 inhabitants (or 70 families) who were Muslim. Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Zeligkosdi there were 103 refugee families from Pontus. The Greek census (1928) recorded 597 village inhabitants. There were 105 refugee families (358 people) in 1928.

Culture
The Association of Friends of the Environment in the village organizes every July events on the mountain Profitis Elias.

From a sports point of view, the local football team is active, playing in the first amateur category for the Kastoria championship.

But the biggest event in the village is the cultural activities of the 15th of August with emphasis on Pontic traditions. These activities are organized every year by the Cultural Association "The Pontos" culminating in a two-day (usually) party attracting people from Greece and abroad that exceeds 5 to 6 thousand participants.

The Sumba–Hawu languages are a group of closely related Austronesian languages, spoken in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.

The most widely spoken Sumba–Hawu language is Kambera, with a quarter million speakers on the eastern half of Sumba Island.

The Hawu language of Savu Island is suspected of having a non-Austronesian substratum, but perhaps not to a greater extent that other languages of central and eastern Flores, such as Sika, or indeed of Central Malayo-Polynesian in general.

Classification
The Sumba–Hawu languages are all closely related. Blust (2008) found convincing evidence for linking Kambera (representing the Sumba languages) with Hawu.

The Kreisliga Südwest (English: District league Southwest) was the highest association football league in the German state of Baden from 1919 to 1923. The league was disbanded with the introduction of the Bezirksliga Württemberg-Baden in 1923.

Overview

Predecessor
From 1907, four regional leagues were formed within the structure of the Southern German football championship, in a move to improve the organisation of football in Southern Germany, these being:
 Ostkreis-Liga, covering Bavaria
 Nordkreis-Liga, covering Hesse
 Südkreis-Liga, covering Württemberg, Baden and Alsace
 Westkreis-Liga, covering the Palatinate, Lorraine and the southern Rhine Province

In 1908, a first Südkreis-Liga (English: Southern District League) was established, consisting of ten clubs and playing a home-and-away season. With the outbreak of the First World War, league football came to a halt and, during the war, games were only played on a limited level.

Post-First World War
With the collapse of the German Empire in 1918, no Württemberg championship was played in 1918-19 but football returned to a more organised system in 1919.

Southern Germany, now without the Alsace region, which had to be returned to France, was sub-divided into ten Kreisligas, these being:
 Kreisliga Hessen
 Kreisliga Nordbayern
 Kreisliga Nordmain
 Kreisliga Odenwald
 Kreisliga Pfalz
 Kreisliga Saar
 Kreisliga Südbayern
 Kreisliga Südmain
 Kreisliga Südwest
 Kreisliga Württemberg

The Südkreis-Liga was split into three regional competitions, Württemberg, Odenwald and Südwest, each with ten clubs. The three league winners advanced to the Southern championship. This system applied for the 1919-20 and 1920-21 season.

In 1921-22, the Kreisliga Südwest was split into two groups of eight, increasing the number of tier-one clubs in the region to 16. The two league winners then played a final to determine the Südwest champion, which in turn advanced to a Baden-Württemberg championship final against the Württemberg champion. The Odenwald champion was not part of this series but rather played a Rhine championship. This "watering down" of Südwest football lasted for only one season, in 1922-23, the number of top clubs was reduced to eight clubs in a single division, with a Baden-Württemberg final against the Württemberg champion once more.

In 1923, a league reform which was decided upon in Darmstadt, Hesse, established the Southern German Bezirksligas which were to replace the Kreisligas. The best four teams each from the Südwest and Württemberg were admitted to the new Bezirksliga Württemberg-Baden. The four clubs from the Südwest were:
 1. FC Pforzheim
 Freiburger FC
 Phönix Karlsruhe
 FC Mühlburg

National success
The clubs from the Kreisliga Südwest were not particularly successful in this era and none managed to qualify for the German championship.

Baden-Württemberg championship
Played in 1922 and 1923, these were the finals:
 1922:
 Südwest final: Karlsruher FV - Phönix Karlsruhe 2-2 / 3-2
 Baden-Württemberg final: Sportfreunde Stuttgart - Karlsruher FV 1-0 / 1-1
 1923:
 Baden-Württemberg final: 1. FC Pforzheim - Stuttgarter Kickers 3-0 / 1-1

Southern German championship
Qualified teams and their success:
 1920:
 Freiburger FC, Semi-finals
 1921:
 1. FC Pforzheim, Semi-finals
 1922:
 Karlsruher FV, not qualified
 1923:
 1. FC Pforzheim, 4th place

Cascumpec Bay is within Prince Edward Island in Canada and is adjacent to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

Description
Cascumpec Bay is located where Prince Edward Island's north shore at its northwestern extreme turns northeasterly to become the east shore of the island's Northeast Peninsula.  The bay covers an area of approximately  and is relatively shallow.  Cascumpec Bay fronts the Gulf of Saint Lawrence along its eastern side but is protected from gulf by a series of sandy barrier islands.  Most of the protection is provided by the Cascumpec Sand Hills, a single long barrier island given its name because of its extensive sand dunes.  Several estuaries are located along the landward sides of the bay, including the Kildare River, Mill River, Foxely River and Trout River.  The lands at the south end of the bay east of the Foxely River are almost entirely composed of peat and are known locally as the Black Banks.  Apart from the Black Banks, the Sand Hills, and most other islands, the rest of the land surrounding the bay is largely devoted to intensive agriculture.

Alberton Harbour is a northern lobe of Cascumpec Bay, separated from the main body of the bay by Oultons Island.  Alberton Harbour has its own passage into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence between the north end of the Sand Hills and the south extreme of Kildare Point, a sand spit that directs the Kildare River into the harbour instead of into the gulf.  The passage made Alberton Harbour an attractive shelter during the age of sailing and encouraged local seafaring settlements.  On the west side of Alberton Harbour opposite the passage is the town of Alberton with about 1100 residents.  Also on the harbour is Northport, a fishing village to the south of Alberton with about 250 residents.  These are the only two incorporated settlements near Cascumpec Bay.

Name origin
The name Cascumpec originated as the Mi'kmaq name "Kaskamkek", which means "bold sandy shore".  In the 18th century, the name mutated slightly to the French name "Cachecampec", and then to the English adaptation "Kascumpeck".  Since then, the pronunciation has changed very little, but the current spelling was settled only in 1966.

Bird habitat
Cascumpec Bay ecosystem is identified by Nature Canada as an Important Bird Area.  Of particular interest are its use for migration staging by large numbers of migrating Canada geese, and as nesting habitat for great blue heron and osprey.  Also, the Cascumpec Sand Hills sometimes host nests of piping plover and colonies of common tern.

Rao Bahadur S. A. Saminatha Iyer (died 1899), also known as Thanjavur Saminatha Iyer, was an Indian lawyer, landlord, politician and theosophist who served as Chairman of the Tanjore municipality and a delegate to the 1885, 1886, 1887, 1889 and 1894 sessions of the Indian National Congress. He spoke against salt tax in the first session conducted in 1885 and in 1887, was a part of a 32-member team that wrote the constitution of the Congress. Christopher Baker and D. A. Washbrook describe him as the "most celebrated spokesman of the Tanjore gentry".

Early life

S. A. Swaminatha Iyer was born in the Tanjore district of Tamil Nadu. He was the eldest of four sons of Sankaranarayana Dikshitar, the others being S. A. Subramania Iyer, S. A. Ayyaswami Iyer and S. A. Ananthanarayana Iyer. On completion of his education, Saminatha Iyer practised as a pleader in Negapatam. Around 1887, Saminatha Iyer migrated to Tanjore where he served as Public Prosector at the Tanjore district court.

Politics

Saminatha Iyer took an interest in politics during his practise as a pleader in Negapatam. During the early 1880s, he was elected to the Negapatam municipality and served as a member. In 1882, Saminatha Iyer took the lead in organizing the Madras Native Association branch in the district. He also set up a Negapatam branch of the Theosophical Society in 1883 and served as its Secretary. When the Madras Mahajana Sabha was formed in 1884, Saminatha Iyer became a corresponding member.

In September 1885, Saminatha Iyer moved to Kumbakonam and succeeded Sir A. Seshayya Sastri as President of the Tanjore People's Association. He was the association's sole delegate to the first session of the Indian National Congress held in Bombay between December 25 and 28, 1885. Saminatha Iyer was subsequently made a "Rao Sahib".

At the session, Saminatha Iyer vehemently criticized the Salt Tax

During the third session of the Indian National Congress held at Madras in 1887, S. A. Swaminatha Iyer was appointed member of the 35-member committee which framed the constitution of the Indian National Congress. He also participated in the 1886, 1889 and 1894 sessions, in the last along with his younger brother, S. A. Anantanarayanan, a High Court vakil.

In April 1888, serious disturbances broke out in the Madras Presidency when there were rumours that a Brahmin student in the Madras Christian College had expressed willingness to embrace Christianity In June 1888, Brahmin students in the town of Nannilam in Tanjore district began to agitate for the missionary school in the town to be shut down. A meeting was held in the district and presided over by Swaminatha Iyer in which he gave a brief description of the Indian National Congress and exhorted the people to boycott the Christian school and instead start a national school for the education of children. Swaminatha Iyer criticised the liberal spendings of the faculty of the missionary colleges while the people of the Presidency suffered from poverty. The Christian school, eventually, became empty of students, a month before the inspection by the Madras government, thereby depriving it of a government grant of Rs. 200. Swaminatha Iyer prepared a list of prices of food items to illustrate the comparative poverty of the masses with regard to the affluent lifestyle of the missionaries. This was later supplied as evidence by Rev. Henry Simpson Lunn during the hearing of the Madras Christian College controversies.

Saminatha Iyer was elected to the District Board of Tanjore in 1886 and nominated Chairman of the Tanjore municipal council in 1887.  The same year he was made a "Rao Bahadur". As Chairman, Saminatha Iyer presided over the golden jubilee celebrations of the reign of Queen Victoria in Tanjore city. He was also elected Secretary of the Rajah Mirasdar Hospital, Tanjore. In 1892, he became the President of the Tanjore branch of the Theosophical Society. In 1893, Saminatha Iyer was succeeded as Chairman of the Tanjore municipal council by K. Kalyanasundaramier.

In 1892, when the mirasidars of Thanjavur district agitated against the rise of the land revenue from rupees 3.9 million to 5.6 million as per the newly introduced scientific settlement, Swaminatha Iyer led the movement. Saminatha Iyer unsuccessfully stood for election to the Madras Legislative Council for the Municipalities seat.

Temple politics

Swaminatha Iyer showed an active interest in the administrative affairs of Hindu temples right from the time of his election to the Kumbakonam Temple Committee, which administered Hindu temples in the Kumbakonam division of Tanjore district comprising the taluks of Kumbakonam, Mayavaram and Shiyali. Iyer was a member of the committee from 1885 till his death in 1899.

Death

Swaminatha Iyer died on 12 August 1899.

Family

Saminatha Iyer did not have natural offspring of his own. He adopted S. A. Venkatarama Iyer (1894–1961). His granddaughter is the noted ethnomusicologist, S. A. K. Durga.

The Master Chorale of Washington, formerly the Paul Hill Chorale, was a symphonic choir based in Washington, D.C., composed of approximately 126 auditioned volunteer choristers and twenty-four professional choristers.  Its most recent music director was Donald McCullough (1997–2009).

History
The chorale was founded in 1967 by Paul Hill as an informal group of about 35 singers.  In 1969, Hill recruited an additional 44 singers to perform Beethoven's Fidelio with the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO).  Over the next 42 years, the chorale rose on the Washington choral music scene and established itself as a prominent chorus in the nation's capital.  Over the years the chorale has appeared in hundreds of concerts at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, including performing in the center's inaugural concerts in 1971, at Wolf Trap's Filene Center, Carnegie Hall, Notre Dame de Paris, the Cathedral of Chartres in Chartres, France, and the Washington National Cathedral.  For nearly three decades, under the leadership of its founder and music director Paul Hill, the chorale performed a series of concerts at the Kennedy Center as well as appearing as guest chorus for the NSO under the batons of Howard Mitchell, Antal Dorati, Dmitri Kabalevsky, Julius Rudel, Erich Kunzel, Neville Marriner, Mstislav Rostropovich and Leonard Slatkin.  In addition, the chorale appeared in performances with entertainers including Victor Borge, Julian Lloyd Webber, Garrison Keillor, Danny Thomas, Christopher Plummer, and Peter Schickele, and with notable arts organizations including the Philadelphia Orchestra, Royal Ballet, Washington Opera, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Joffrey Ballet, Richmond Symphony, Fairfax Symphony Orchestra and Pacific Northwest Ballet. For twenty consecutive years, the chorale hosted the Kennedy Center's free annual Messiah Sing Along with Maestro Hill directing orchestra, chorus, and 3,000 guests in the Hallelujah Chorus.

The chorale's continuing success led to the establishment of a core of paid professional singers and the forming of a sister chamber choir, the Washington Singers. Sondra Goldsmith Proctor and J. Thomas Mitts, respectively, served as rehearsal accompanists and assistant directors in addition to performing on keyboard with the chorale in numerous concerts.

In the 1990s Maestro Hill was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.  In December 1993, he conducted the chorale's final Kennedy Center Messiah Sing Along seated on a stool.  President William Clinton, First Lady Hillary Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton attended the event.  In 1997, Donald McCullough, founder of the McCullough Chorale and Virginia Symphony Chorus in Norfolk, Virginia, became the group's second music director, replacing the ailing Paul Hill, who was awarded the title Conductor Emeritus. Soon after the name was changed from the Paul Hill Chorale to Master Chorale of Washington.

Under Maestro McCullough, the chorale maintained its reputation for choral excellence, expanding its professional core to twenty-four professional choristers, premiering numerous works by American composers, and producing several CDs.

In March 2009, the Master Chorale's board of directors, citing financial difficulties exacerbated by the financial crisis of 2007–2008, voted to dissolve the organization at the close of the 2008-2009 season.  The chorale's last performances with the National Symphony Orchestra were April 9, 10, and 11, with Kurt Masur conducting an all-Brahms program, including the choral work A German Requiem by Johannes Brahms.

On May 17, 2009, the Master Chorale, conducted by Maestro McCullough, performed their final concert to a full house in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall.  The program opened with a talk by Robert Aubrey Davis.  The chorale accompanied by orchestra performed Randall Thompson's Frostiana and, joined by soloists and children's chorus, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.

Story
Saeko Machida is a 16-year-old studious high-school girl who has a crush on a boy in her class named Yuichi Kimijima. Being deeply obsessed with him, she tries to gain his attention while stalking him, but without success. One day, she meets a strange man at a flea-market who gives her a red liquid, telling her that if she splashes it on Yuichi, her wish will become true. She acquires the liquid, certain that the liquid will cause Yuuichi to love her. Saeko finally gets the courage to confess her love to Yuichi, but he rejects her. Disappointed, she splashes the liquid on Yuichi. However, the liquid actually causes him to shrink, making him about three inches in height. She takes him home and desperately tries to get Yuichi to love her, but he still does not have feelings for her. Things will soon take a turn for the worse, when she realizes she can do whatever she wants as far as controlling and torturing him. He even attempted to run away, but failed.

The school staff began to suspect that Yuichi has gone missing. Later on, Saeko starts to have a new look following Yuichi's disappearance, causing Misa and her friends at her school to grow suspicious of her. They send Aya Morimoto, Saeko's only friend, to find out in return for 500 yen. She stealthy follows her and hides in the stall next to Saeko in the bathroom and witnesses her with Yuichi tied up on her cell phone and threatens to flush him away if he's going to run away again. After hearing a noise, Saeko realizes that Aya knows the truth of his disappearance and chases after her. While trying to outrun her, Saeko caught Aya and spills the red liquid in order to prevent her from telling everyone about what happened to Yuichi. The next day, Misa confronts her about Aya's disappearance at the girls' gym locker room. Saeko displays both Aya and Yuichi in the chain attached to her phone and threatens Misa to do the same if she ever told anyone.

Meanwhile, Yuichi tries to encourage Aya to stand up to her and seek help. After Saeko returns home from school, Yuichi distracts her by convincing her to take him on a day alone. Their departure allows Aya to send a cry for help to her brother via email. While they are out, Saeko falls to the ground when the dog jumps at her, allowing Yuichi to escape. Failing to find him, she returns home and finds the email Aya sent. The furious Saeko catches Aya attempting to escape while hiding inside a paper-made Sumo wrestler and crushes her to death with her shoe. She then picks up Aya's corpse with a tissue and disposes her in the trash bin. Yuichi ends up in the hidden area near the tunnel filled with the colony of four small men inside who rescue him from the elements and take him to their shelter in a wall inside the train station. The next morning, Aya's older brother visits Saeko at her house and asked her about Aya's disappearance, but she denied her involvement. Upon waking up inside a napkin from a hamburger place he worked at, Yuichi thanks the tiny men for saving him and learns that he unwittingly kept them alive by tossing half an eaten hamburger in the sewers.

Meanwhile, at the school, Misa unsuccessfully attempt to warn her friends, the school staff, and even the police about Saeko. However, only Aya's older brother takes her warning seriously and asks for her to trust him. At first, Misa is shocked by this and thinks he's crazy to want to talk to her. However, she quickly realizes that Aya's older brother is the only one who believes her and puts her trust in him. During his time in the tiny colony, Yuichi discovers that the men has chosen to shrink themselves about three inches tall for any reason they have which includes avoiding trouble with the law. He feels out of place and reveals to the group that he was shrunken by force because of Saeko's unrequited love for him. The men feel bad for Yuichi's plight and one man decides to take action but the other men tries to convince him not to get involved due to his drunken nature.

In the next scene, Aya's brother shows up with the police in Saeko's room to search for clues. During the investigation, detectives uncover evidence during the investigation such as Saeko's fan-like webpage containing facts about Yuichi, a dollhouse used as Yuichi's house, a knife used as torture, and a blood-stained shoe. One detective tries to console Saeko's disbelieving parents while the lead detective discovered a shrunken, crushed Aya in the trash can and shows the body to them. Saeko's parents faints upon realizing that their own daughter is now a murderer, and Aya's brother screams in horror. As Saeko returns near her home, she finds it's being marked off with crime scene tape by the police and flees. The neighbors sees her fleeing from the scene of the crime in the neighborhood. They realize the truth in Misa's warning about Saeko and suspects her in both Yuichi's disappearance and Aya's murder.

Now a suspect on the run, Saeko is seen wearing a hat and is trying to keep a low profile. She observes a newspaper article that contains Aya's murder and discovery on the front page. She also sees Misa giving details about her on the TV displayed on the front window of the shop. At this point, people now believe her warning about Saeko shrinking them. Even her disbelieving classmates rally to Misa's side by claiming that she had a suspicious and devious smile when she threatened to shrink them too. Saeko panics as her photo appeared on the screen and takes off. While sitting on the stairs near the tunnel, she cries out for Yuichi's help to save her from being arrested and finds a small man attempting to tie her shoe laces together. She used the man to find Yuichi and discovers him along with other small men he joined as refuge. Yuichi coldly rejects Saeko's request to help her out and tells her off that she deserved on whatever's coming to her. He also told her that he's happy being with the colony and that she's better off without him after all the mistreatment he endured in being shrunken against his will and torturing him along with Aya. Saeko leaves while the men cheer him on.

Alone and depressed, Saeko attempts suicide by throwing herself off the bridge into the road below, but is saved by the flea-market man who just happened to be nearby. While talking to him, the flea-market man asks her if she got everything she desired in using his red shrinking potion. Saeko admitted to him that she got nothing from it and that her lovesick obsession had only brought her more trouble. She mentions that she now knows that Yuichi hates her for not only shrinking him, but also keeping him against his will. Saeko shows remorse in her actions for torturing both him and killing Aya, her own best friend. The flea-market man understands her pain and reveals that he hated women in general because women were made to love, but never to be loved. As part of her guilt, Saeko asks for the flea-market man for one last favor by letting her switch places with Yuichi since she should've been a lot happier watching him from afar rather than continuing to be lovesick over him. The man later talks to the leader of the small colony and asks him to have Yuichi so he can grow him back to normal. The leader is reluctant on this request because while he trusts the man, he mentions that Yuichi's now part of the group and is happy with them. However, the flea-market man is able to convince him that Yuichi didn't choose to be tiny and his family misses him. The leader agrees to the request upon realizing how much it means to Yuichi to be reunited with his family.

The man takes the sleeping Yuichi to the park bench and uses the blue liquid and grows him back to his normal size. Yuichi awoke and is jubilant on being back to his normal size. The man then gives the now-shrunken Saeko to him. She apologized to Yuichi about her actions and he not only forgives her, but also told her that he loves her. As they walked out of a park, the movie ends with the "End" sign displaying on the screen. However, it is not how the movie really ends.

In the real ending, a subsequent scene reveals Saeko inside a bird cage after being turned in to the authorities by Yuichi, who observes on the TV screen by the front window display of the shop. The TV shows the authorities have told the reporters that he is cooperating with them and will testify in the trial against her. The reporters surround Saeko's cage wanting answers from her in why she'd killed Aya and held Yuichi hostage for so long. The TV shows that she is suffering a panic attack and distressed by this. The authorities tries to hold the reporters back and away from the stressed out Saeko. Yuichi walks away with a satisfied look on his face, knowing that she will answer for her crimes.

Talentadong Pinoy (transl. Talented Pinoy), also known as Bangon Talentadong Pinoy (transl. Get Up, Talented Pinoy for its eighth season) is a Philippine reality talent show broadcast by TV5. The show premiere on August 16, 2008. Hosted initially by Ryan Agoncillo in its first five seasons, within exception of seasons 6 and 7, the show is handled formerly by Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez, it displays performances from singers, dancers, actors, musicians and comedians, to contortionists, impressionists, jugglers, ventriloquists and magicians. Contestants are allowed to perform any act they want. One difference to the Got Talent series is that the judges give their opinions on the performance of the performer and grades only 50% of the final score while the jury also grades 50% of the score to determine the winner. Its recent season aired every Saturday at 8 p.m. (PST). The show ended on March 13, 2021, and was replaced by 1000 Heartbeats: Pintig Pinoy.

Overview

The show aims to display and advance performances considered as talented by the judges. The audition process is mostly held in SM locations all over the Philippines. The judging panel is composed of "talent scouts" (three famous persons who decide if the performers are passed on their performances) and the "jury" (composed of about eight to ten ordinary persons with professions or occupations and are the main judges in the contest). (If several contestants are passed by the talent scouts, the jury will decide who will become the winner. The jury is changed randomly in every show.)

The contestants perform on stage within 1 minute and 30 seconds. When the performers successfully do their act in that time, the bell rings, indicating that the contestant succeeded. If the talent scouts don't like the act, they simply press their respective buzzers and the curtain will be closed partially. When the contestants receive three strikes from the talent scouts, the curtain will be completely closed accompanied by the buzzer, notifying that the performer's act is terminated. Mostly seven competitors will compete if there is a defending champion; there are eight contestants if it is searching for a new defending champion. They will become the defending champion when the performer wins on the contest either by unanimous or split-decision by the jury. They must defend their title for five consecutive weeks against other performers. If they succeed in defending the title, the defending champion becomes a "Hall of Famer."

Jean-Claude Floch (; born September 25, 1953), known as Floc'h is a French illustrator, comics artist, and writer.  He is known for his use of the style known as ligne claire. His older brother Jean-Louis Floch was also a cartoonist and illustrator.

Biography

After a quick study at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (School of Decorative Arts) in Paris, he dedicated himself to illustration and comics.  His first published comics pages were for the story Le Conservateur, written by Rodolphe, which appeared in Imagine in 1975.  The comics character "Sir Francis Albany" was created for Pilote magazine by Floc'h in 1977, and collaborating with François Rivière, Floc’h published his first collection of comics in 1977, Le Rendez-vous de Sevenoaks.  He and Rivière devoted themselves to a narrative and illustration style characterized by Anglophilia; the technique known as mise en abyme; as well as a ligne claire drawing style inspired by the Belgian tradition of comics illustration pioneered by Hergé and Edgar P. Jacobs.  Together they would create the series known as Une trilogie anglaise (An English Trilogy), which debuted in 1977.

Floc'h’s fame grew with the publication of Le Dossier Harding in 1980. Floc'h created commercial illustrations, in which he explored new drawing techniques and developed a personal style based on graphic minimalism such as in Le Secret de la Pulmoll verte in 1980.  In 1991, he collaborated with Jean-Luc Fromental on a collection of cartoons inspired by the work of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jamais deux sans trois.  They also collaborated on the books Ma Vie, Life, High Life and Var, le Département dont vous êtes le Heros.

Floc'h and François Rivière collaborated on the novel Les Chroniques d'Oliver Alban, Diary of an Ironist (2006), in which they explored the art and literature from two decades: the 1940s and the 1970s.  The two wrote the texts, with Floc'h also creating the art for the book.

In 2007, Floc'h published a very personal work in the form of his book Une vie de rêve: Fragments d’une autobiographie idéale, in which he lives a long life that extends from 360 BC to May 4, 2046, during the course of which he fulfills various fantasies (for example, he becomes a student of Plato and poses for Philippe Halsman).

Known mainly for cartoons and illustrations, Floc’h has however exhibited his art at various galleries, including the Pixi gallery in Paris and the Nicholas Davies Gallery in New York City.  Floc'h has also designed book covers as well as various movie posters, such as for Diabolo menthe and Smoking / No Smoking, and created illustrations for various newspapers and magazines in France, including Lire, Senso, Monsieur, L'Express, Le Nouvel Observateur, Libération, Le Monde, Le Figaro, and Elle.  In the United States, he has created covers and illustrations for GQ and The New Yorker.  A collection of his advertising artwork appeared in 1985 as Un Homme dans la Foule.

Maria Dolgorukaya (died 1580) possibly was the seventh wife of Ivan the Terrible, Tsar of Russia. The marriage (unauthorized by the church) may have been celebrated in 1580. Legend says she did not bear the Tsar any children and was revealed to have a lover after their first night together, when the Tsar discovered she wasn't a virgin. Ivan subsequently had her drowned.

Background
There is no evidence of her existence in primary sources. The first mention can be found in 19th-century Russian literature. Nikolay Kostomarov in 1866 wrote that the notice about her was found by Afanasiy Byichkov in a manuscript in the Imperial Public Library.

Modern historians now have doubts about whether she existed.

The Lord of the Sabbath is an expression describing Jesus which appears in all three Synoptic Gospels: Matthew 12:1–8, Mark 2:23–28 and Luke 6:1–5. These sections each relate an encounter between Jesus, his Apostles and the Pharisees, the first of the four "Sabbath controversies".

According to the Gospel of Mark:

Some versions of the Gospel of Luke provide a specific date for the incident – the second Sabbath after the first (likely to mean the Sabbaths counted from the Feast of First Fruits in accordance with Leviticus 23).

The Gospel of Matthew only provides an additional example to justify working on the Sabbath as "a second example, if the first does not convince you": "Or haven't you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent?".

Lutheran theologian Johann Albrecht Bengel suggested that this dialogue could have taken place at the time of year when the regulations on temple sacrifices in the Book of Leviticus were being read during Sabbath services; however, the Pulpit Commentary questions this by reference to a "double uncertainty: first, what time of year it really was; and secondly, what is the antiquity of the present custom of reading the whole Law every year?"

Matthew makes two statements regarding Jesus' view of his role: he is Lord [even] of the Sabbath and also he is "one greater than the Temple". There are different interpretations of the reference to the Son of man statement in Matthew 12:1–8 that "the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath". It may mean that Jesus is claiming to be the Lord or that his Apostles are entitled to do as they wish on the Sabbath.

Willard Stone (February 29, 1916 – March 5, 1985) was an American artist best known for his wood sculptures carved in a flowing Art Deco style.

Background
Stone was born and raised in Oktaha, Oklahoma. Stone's early interest in drawing and painting was thwarted when, at the age of 13, he picked up a blasting cap he found while walking home from school, and it exploded. Stone lost the thumb and most of two fingers on his right hand. He nevertheless became an accomplished sculptor and woodcarver. He took art classes at Bacone College, where he studied under Acee Blue Eagle and Woody Crumbo.  Crumbo used his influence with oilman and collector Thomas Gilcrease to further Stone's career, and in 1946 Gilcrease offered Stone an artist-in-residence position at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa. Stone worked for Gilcrease for three years.  He developed a distinctive modern style influenced by Art Deco and Art Nouveau, and took on contemporary topics such as nuclear warfare as well as less stylized works inspired by nature. After leaving Gilcrease, Stone worked in Tulsa at an iron works and for Douglas Aircraft Company.

Art career
After 1961, Stone was able to devote himself entirely to art, and he opened a permanent studio in Locust Grove, Oklahoma, from which he continued to work until his death in 1985. Stone was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1970 and received honorary degrees from Bacone College and Oklahoma Christian College.

Stone, Crumbo, and Blue Eagle became the Oklahoman artists most closely identified with Gilcrease. Gilcrease ultimately acquired more than 50 of Stone's works. In addition to the large collection at Gilcrease, Stone's art is collected in many other museums, including the Five Civilized Tribes Museum in Muskogee, the Cherokee Heritage Center in Park Hill, the Smithsonian, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma, the Great Plains Art Museum at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and the Museum of Western Art (formerly the Cowboy Artists of America Museum) in Kerrville, Texas.

Stone identified as being of Cherokee descent but was not an enrolled member of any Cherokee tribes, making his claims of Native American identity a source of controversy. The Cherokee Nation, during Chief Wilma Mankiller's administration, designated Stone as a tribal artisan in 1991, which allowed him to present his artwork as being American Indian-made under the 1990 Indian Arts and Crafts Act.

Stone's sculpture Exodus, in the collection of the Cherokee Heritage Center, is especially well known and was used extensively in Cherokee publications.  Stone's "Lady of Spring" was included in the 1997-98 White House art exhibition "Twentieth Century American Sculpture at The White House: Honoring Native America." The guide to the White House exhibition calls Stone "the unsung hero of Native American sculpture", and describes "Lady of Spring" (an elongated female nude) as "classic Art Deco," comparing it to the nudes of Alberto Vargas and "Spring Awakening" by Ferdinand Preiss.

In 2009, the Gilcrease Museum held its first major exhibition in 20 years devoted to Stone's work, entitled "Storyteller in Wood."

Stone is the maternal uncle of painter and illustrator Jeanne Rorex-Bridges.

Willard Stone Museum
The Willard Stone Museum is currently located at his homeplace in Locust Grove, Oklahoma.  The museum's goal is to relocate to the historic building that housed the first bank in Locust Grove, located in downtown and built in 1912, to house the collection.  In 2019 the museum’s board of directors authorized build-out of the new facility, and in September 2020 launched a fundraising campaign to finance the needed renovations.

Personal life
Stone, who died in 1985, was survived by son Jason M. “Briggs” Stone, a sculptor in his own right, who was born in 1945 and died in 2021.  Other children included Irene “Skez” Stone, Nettie Sanders, Evelyn Holland, Lyda Henson, Linda Callery Grant Stone, Danny Stone, Dwight Stone, Rocky Stone, and Michel Stone.

Liberation Suite (sometimes LibSuite) was a Jesus Music era Christian rock band. They originated in San Marcos, Texas but soon moved to Great Britain, where they found their greatest success. Cross Rhythms characterizes the band as having a "special relationship" with the United kingdom and a straightforward approach to music and ministry. Typical of Jesus music, they played songs in a variety of styles including country, new wave, and rock.

Background
Liberation Suite formed early in the Jesus Music era, prior to 1971 in San Marcos, Texas. The group got their start as a backup band for a choral group called Sound 70 based in San Marcos, Texas, but began traveling with evangelist Bill Lowery and the Christ is the Answer tent ministry in 1973.

In 1974 they moved for six months to Northern Ireland, which was at that time war-torn by The Troubles. Here they ran what was essentially a street concert ministry, as well as playing many concerts in schools, colleges, and large concert halls. During this time they also played at the inaugural Greenbelt Festival in England. They then moved to London after being signed to Word Records' Myrrh label. Throughout 1975 the band toured with Malcolm and Alwyn, Barry McGuire, and Jamie Owens. In 1976 they toured Europe with Chuck Girard before moving back to Texas until 1979, when they relocated to Los Angeles.

During a brief reunification period in 1980 they recorded their second album, Stride For Stride, and again toured Europe.
They moved back to Texas in 1981, members moving into other types of ministry or work, regrouping from time to time for a few concerts or recording.
Several other versions of the band lineup toured parts of America and Europe, and recorded in 1990–92.

In 2008 they released Live In Europe, a live concert from 1976, recorded in Sweden.
