Lucilia thatuna belongs to the family Calliphoridae, the species most commonly referred to as the blowflies, and the genus Lucilia. Along with several other species of Lucilia, L. thatuna is commonly referred to as a green bottle fly. L. thatuna is very scarce and not much is known about this particular fly. It has been noted to reside in mountainous regions of the northwestern United States.

Taxonomy and history
The genus Lucilia was first identified in 1830 by Jean-Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy, a French entomologist and physician. In 1926, American entomologist Julie Bockman identified the species Lucilia thatuna during his work with the U.S. Bureau of Entomology. The species was also referred to as Bufolucilia thatuna and Phaenicia thatuna until 1991 when Knut Rognes synonymized these genera names with Lucilia. This species can be identified through the Keys to the Genera and Species of Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of America North of Mexico (Whitworth 2006).

Morphology
Although other species in the genus Lucilia are called "green bottle flies," L. thatuna can be identified by a shiny, bluish thorax and abdomen (Whitworth 2006). The mature adult, also known as an imago, generally ranges from 4.5 to 10 mm in length (Byrd 2001). Size is strongly correlated with the availability of nutrient rich food and environmental conditions (Florin 2001).

Adult females tend to be slightly larger than males, with smaller eyes placed more laterally on the head and the ocellar triangle not surpassing the halfway point to the lunule. The narrow frons on the male distinguishes it from other common species such as Lucilia cuprina and Lucilia sericata. Other distinguishing characteristics include the presence of three postacrostichal setae and the first flaellomere broader in width than the parafacial at the level of the lunule (Whitworth 2006).

Life cycle and development
Once an adult female has fully developed eggs in her ovaries, she will follow the scent of decay to suitable carrion on which to deposit her eggs.  It is theorized that females will feed on the protein secreted from the carrion before depositing a possible 200 eggs through her ovipositor onto carrion. Depending on temperature, the eggs will usually hatch within a day producing the first instar larvae. These larvae will feed continuously upon the decomposing carcass until they are large enough to molt and enter the second instar. This process is repeated again for the third and final instar after which, the larva leaves the corpse to pupate. During this time, L. thatuna actively rearranges its physical composition to emerge as an adult fly after approximately two weeks depending on temperature (Byrd 2001).

Location
L. thatuna is not found in a wide variety of human habitats. Specimen collections have been few and sporadic over a ten-year period. Identification has only been documented in the United States, mainly in northwestern Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California, and Colorado. L. thatuna appears to have a local distribution in mountainous areas of elevation from 4,000 to 5,000 feet. Six specimens have been located on Mt. Moscow, two specimens on Lake Waha, three specimens in Latah County, and two specimens on Craig Mountain, Nez Perce County; all found in Idaho (Hall 1948).

Medical importance

Myiasis

As part of the family Calliphoridae L. thatuna is involved in myiasis, as most other blowflies are. Myiasis is the infestation of live or necrotic tissue on a vertebrate host by fly larvae (Stevens 2003). This disease is initiated by dipterous eggs being laid in natural body openings or exposed wounds (Stevens 2003). As can be imagined, the condition produces a variety of problems depending on the location of the larvae. L. thatuna is described as a facultative ectoparasite; it is able to live as a sacrophage or initiate myiasis. Myiasis caused by a facultative ectoparasite is semispecific (Stevens 2003). Semispecific is synonymous to facultative parasite. These flies do not utilize living organisms to lay their eggs. Rather, they will use dead organic matter; however, when a wound is present the flies will lay their eggs in it, causing myiasis.

Surgical maggots

The genus Lucilia is commonly used in maggot therapy. Maggot therapy is the process of using fly larvae to treat infected wounds; it is also known as Maggot Debridement Therapy. The maggots that are used are mass-produced and disinfected. They are placed into open wounds healing on their own. This type of therapy is effective because the maggots only eat the necrotic tissue, thus cleaning out the wound and promoting healing. The larvae used in therapy use secretions to increase efficacy of their healing properties. They usually produce positive results via three mechanisms of action: Debridement, disinfection, and stimulation of healing properties (The Role of Maggots 2009).

Forensic importance
L. thatuna is of forensic importance because it belongs to the family Calliphoridae which are more commonly known as blowflies. The genus Lucilia is overwhelmingly the first to appear on carrion if left exposed to the elements such as in an outside environment or where the carrion is accessible to insects. Upon reaching the carrion, females will oviposit their eggs in moist openings such as the eyes, nose, mouth, and anus. The reason for this is because the maggots do not regularly burrow through skin and need a soft place to begin feeding. Given an ambient temperature, forensic entomologists can use degree day calculations to produce an accurate PMI, or post mortem interval. PMIs are sometimes referred to as 'time of colonization.' Lucillia thatuna is not as well known as some of the other species, but is comparable in life cycle and forensic importance to that of Lucilia cuprina.

Current research
Research from 1996 revolves around the evolutionary origin of the parasitic nature of genus Lucilia. This was analyzed using mitochondrial DNA and parsimony analyses by construction of phylogenetic trees. These tests were used to consider the relationships between the numerous species within the genus Lucilia and when each species developed a myiasis habit. The results show timelines of myiasis development within several of the Lucilia species (Stevens 1997).

Francis Bermingham, O.F.M., fl. 1652, was an Irish Franciscan friar and scholar.

Bermingham was a descendant of Meyler de Bermingham (1275), the founder of Athenry.

Popularly known as Franciscus a Galvia (Francis of Galway), he was born there early in the 17th century. Upon joining the Franciscan Order as a young man, he was sent abroad to be educated. He taught philosophy at Milan and in Rome was Jubilate lecturer in Divinity at the College of St. Isidore, as well as serving as Definitor General of his Order. He was named amongst those Franciscan friars banished from their convent at Galway in 1652.

Shannon LNG is proposing to develop a liquefied natural gas receiving terminal on the Shannon Estuary near Ballylongford and Tarbert in County Kerry to be built and operated by Shannon LNG Ltd, a company owned 50/50 by Hess LNG a subsidiary of the US multinational Hess Corporation and US hydrocarbons trading and transportation company Poten & Partners Inc.

Project
The site was originally owned by Shannon Development who have been courting a development for the site for many years owing to its sheltered location. In 2002, the natural gas Pipeline to The West was completed, crossing the Shannon 25 km from the site of the proposed terminal.

The project, the first LNG terminal in Ireland, is expected to cost €500 million. It will contain four insulated storage tanks of 200,000 cubic metres capacity and a regassification facility linked to the gas transmission system.

Planning and safety
As the project qualifies as strategic infrastructure under the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act 2006 and, consequently An Bord Pleanála and not Kerry County Council was the Planning Authority. The Kilcolgan Residents' Association and the Friends of the Irish Environment have lodged application for a judicial review of An Bord Pleanála's decision to approve the project on safety and environmental grounds.

In Ireland, development consent is divided among different statutory bodies. In order to obtain full development consent Shannon LNG requires an Integrated Pollution Prevention Control Licence (IPPC) from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a Foreshore Licence from the Department of the Environment for the construction of the marine aspects of the project.

In January 2010, the European Commission, in an interim finding, declared that the rezoning of the land for the proposed LNG terminal from 'Rural General' and 'Secondary Special Amenity' should have been subjected to a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as per the EU SEA Directive. The EU Parliament Petitions Committee stated:
“The Commission is also concerned by the discrepancy in the approach of the Irish authorities in dealing with the development under fast track legislation for 'strategic projects' whilst not requiring an SEA. [...] On the basis of the further information provided, the Commission has decided to raise the above-mentioned issues with the Irish authorities.”

On 29 November 2011, a major controversy was highlighted when the Irish Energy Minister announced in Parliament that the coming on stream of Shannon LNG in Ireland would lead to gas prices rising instead of falling.

Minister Pat Rabbitte told the Dáil:
“The model is based on Irish prices following United Kingdom prices plus an additional amount for the price of transport through the interconnectors. In an environment in which gas from the Corrib field and LNG meet some or all of Irish demand, the interconnectors built and owned by Bord Gáis Éireann would become under utilised and their proper remuneration by the reduced number of gas customers becomes an issue. In such circumstances, the prices for the consumer would go up and there would be a windfall gain for the multinationals. Deputy Ferris is likely to be minded to agree with me that this is not the outcome we seek. We have no wish for prices to be pushed up as a result of a stranded asset, that is, the interconnector, and a windfall profit to the multinationals, much as we welcome them here, whether they are associated with Corrib or LNG."

Shannon LNG, in reaction, has referred the dispute with the Irish Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) over a proposed interconnector tariff to the European Commission.

Gordon Shearer, CEO of HESS LNG stated that the tariff not only contravened EU law but represented a massive policy shift from the previous government’s stance on interconnector policy.

In July 2014, media reports indicated the project had finally been abandoned and the company website was taken offline.

An Universal Etymological English Dictionary was a dictionary compiled by Nathan Bailey (or Nathaniel Bailey) and first published in London in 1721. It was the most popular English dictionary of the eighteenth century. As an indicator of its popularity it reached its 20th edition in 1763 and its 27th edition in 1794. Its last edition (30th) was in 1802. It was a little over 900 pages long. In compiling his dictionary, Bailey borrowed greatly from John Kersey's Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum (1706), which in turn drew from the later editions of Edward Phillips's The New World of English Words. Like Kersey's dictionary, Bailey's dictionary was one of the first monolingual English dictionaries to focus on defining words in common usage, rather than just difficult words.

Although Bailey put the word "etymological" in his title, he gives definitions for many words without also trying to give the word's etymology – because he doesn't know what the etymology is. A very high percentage of the etymologies he does give are consistent with what's in today's English dictionaries.

In 1727, Bailey published a supplementary volume entitled The Universal Etymological English Dictionary, Volume II. Volume II, almost 900 pages, has some duplication or overlap with the primary volume, but mostly consists of extra words of lesser circulation. It was not as popular as the primary volume. The title page of the supplementary volume says it contains "An additional collection of words (not in the first volume) ALSO an explication of hard and technical words in all arts and sciences... ALSO words and phrases contained in our ancient charters, statutes, and processes at Law ALSO the theology and mythology of the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans...."

The Bjørvika Tunnel () is a motorway immersed tunnel on European Route E18 in the city center of Oslo, Norway. The tunnel has two bores, with three lanes in each. In the west, it connects to the Festning Tunnel at Akershus Fortress and runs under the Bjørvika arm of the Oslofjord before ending in an intersection on the east shore, where it splits into Mosseveien (E18) and the Ekeberg Tunnel (National Road 190). The tunnel is  long, 675 meters of which run below sea level, and opened in September 2010. It was built by the  Norwegian Public Roads Administration The Bjørvika Tunnel is part of the Opera Tunnel complex which is the name of the interconnected system of tunnels between Ryen and Filipstad. The Bjørvika Tunnel is the first immersed tunnel in Norway.

The tunnel's cost was estimated to be around , and was financed through Oslo Package 1, with part of the funding coming from the city's toll ring. The project includes an additional  of roads,  of pedestrian and cycle paths and  of bus lanes. The project will create a  continuous tunnel from Framnes (at the Kiel ferry terminal) to Ryen. The connection with the Festning Tunnel will require a  sinking of the latter, and it will have a basement built under it.

Piatra Tomii is a late Jurassic limestone outcrop forming a small hill near Răcătau village, Alba county, Romania. It is most well known for the Chalcolithic to Bronze Age flint mining settlement located on and near to the hill. The settlement is late Chalcolithic to Early Bronze Age. The people who occupied this site belonged to the Coțofeni culture (phase 3). The chief investigator of this archaeological site is Cristian Popa of the 1 Decembrie 1918 University, Alba Iulia. The artefact collection from this site are housed at the university in Alba Iulia. This site is significant as it is the first flint mine or quarry found so far in the Transylvanian basin. Petrographic analysis of the flint materials found at this site link it to artifacts found at prehistoric sites from throughout the Mures Valley leading researchers to believe that this site may have served an important role in the commerce of the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. The large size of the settlement compared to its relative isolation high in the Apuseni Mountains tends to support this theory.

Although the majority of the artefacts so far found at the site are of Chalcolithic age, some researchers believe that the site may have already in use as a source of flint during the middle of the Neolithic by people of the Vinča culture. This is based on initial comparisons of Neolithic chipped stone artifacts to the geological material at Piatra Tomii. This theory has not yet been confirmed by the archaeological record for the middle Neolithic period, but during test pitting in 2009, Petrești type pottery was found at the site, indicating that the site was in use long prior to the arrival of the Coțofeni population (and possibly abandoned until the late Coțofeni people arrived). The potsherds were found in and next to a flint extraction pit along with axes and chisels and an ashy soil, suggesting that they were also extracting the flint. It is possible that the material used during earlier cultures of the Neolithic period may have come from another flint source very near to but not at Piatra Tomii itself. Since only a small percentage of this site has been excavated, it is also possible that remains of Vinča culture simply have not yet been found at Piatra Tomii.

The Angola Transfer Company, organized in November 1906, was a railroad car float operation that primarily ferried cars of the Louisiana Railway and Navigation Company across the Mississippi River between Angola and Naples, Louisiana. The route was shortened to Angola–Torras in 1928 when a joint highway–rail bridge was built across the Atchafalaya River at Simmesport. The LR&N took over the Angola Transfer Company's property in 1929, concurrently with its lease to the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway. The L&A absorbed the LR&N in 1934 and abandoned the car float in 1940 after the Huey P. Long Bridge opened at Baton Rouge.

The Angola Ferry used to operate nearby, carrying automobiles across the Mississippi; its west landing is about  south of the old Torras landing of the L&A.

(, born July 18, 1983) is a Japanese professional mixed martial artist competing in the featherweight division. He is the former Shooto Lightweight Champion, Sengoku Featherweight Champion, and TKO Featherweight Champion.  Hioki is a long time Shooto veteran and has fought most of his fights in Japanese promotions including the largest mixed martial arts organization at the time, Pride Fighting Championships.

Mixed martial arts career

TKO Major League MMA
Hioki won his first MMA title in the Canadian promotion TKO Major League MMA, by defeating Mark Hominick for the featherweight belt. Prior to this Hioki had only one loss to Hiroyuki Takaya in Shooto and had a record of 8-1-1. He successfully defended this title twice before participating in the Sengoku Featherweight Grand Prix tournament.

Sengoku Featherweight Grand Prix
Hioki defeated Masanori Kanehara in the semi-final of the tournament but was unable to continue on to the final to fight Michihiro Omigawa due to an injury in his bout with Kanehara. Kanehara replaced Hioki for the final and ended up winning the tournament.

Shooto Featherweight Championship
On May 30, 2010 Hioki fought Takeshi Inoue for the Shooto Featherweight Championship (143 lbs) and won by a split decision making him the 9th fighter to win it and the 8th Japanese fighter to do so. Hioki had a controversially lost to Antonio Carvalho during his Shooto career.

Sengoku Featherweight Championship
After defeating Jeff Lawson at Sengoku Raiden Championships 14, Hioki received a title shot against then WVR: Sengoku Featherweight Champion Marlon Sandro. The Championship fight was held at World Victory Road Presents: Soul of Fight on December 30, 2010. Hioki defeated Sandro via unanimous decision. Hioki's superior reach and movement allowed him to out land and counter the aggressive Brazilian. Hioki became the third featherweight Champion for Sengoku.

Hioki vacated the title on June 25, 2011 after signing with the UFC.

Ultimate Fighting Championship
On the same date he vacated the Sengoku Featherweight Championship: June 25, 2011, UFC officials announced that Hioki had signed a multi fight deal with the UFC.  He debuted at UFC 137 on October 29, 2011, where he defeated George Roop via split decision.

Hioki faced veteran Bart Palaszewski on February 26, 2012 at UFC 144, winning the bout via unanimous decision.  Hioki dominated the whole fight taking down Bart Palaszewski several times and applying a variety of submission attempts.

Hioki was offered a title shot but turned it down and instead faced Ricardo Lamas on June 22, 2012 at UFC on FX: Maynard vs. Guida. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Hioki faced Clay Guida on January 26, 2013 at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Dodson. Despite landing more strikes than Guida, and consistently looking for submissions after being taken to the ground, Guida was awarded the split decision.

Hioki faced Darren Elkins on August 28, 2013 at UFC Fight Night 27. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Hioki faced Ivan Menjivar on March 1, 2014 at UFC Fight Night: Kim vs. Hathaway. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Hioki faced Charles Oliveira on June 28, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 43. He lost the fight via submission, with the loss being the first time Hioki has ever been finished in MMA.

Hioki faced Dan Hooker on May 10, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 65. He lost the fight by knockout in the second round, marking his first loss by TKO/KO.  Subsequently, he was released from the promotion.

is a Japanese visual novel developed by Lump of Sugar. It was first released as an adult game for Windows PCs on July 11, 2008 in both limited and regular editions, and was later followed by an Xbox 360 version. Tayutama is Lump of Sugar's third title after their previous titles Nursery Rhyme and Itsuka, Todoku, Ano Sora ni. The story centers on the male protagonist Yuri Mito, a high school student who is the son of a family that presides over the local Shinto shrine. As Yuri performs a ritual to transfer a relic that hosts a fictional, supernatural race called Tayutai, he and his friends accidentally summon a goddess, who incarnates as a young girl.

The gameplay in Tayutama mainly consists of reading a text-based, branching plot line with multiple endings, and offers pre-determined scenarios and courses of interaction based on the player's decisions. The game received two awards from the 2008 Bishōjo Game Awards for its visuals. It received a fan disc titled Tayutama: It's Happy Days in May 2009, and made several transitions to other media. It received a manga adaptation illustrated by artist Yukiwo, who co-created an original story for the adaptation. A twelve-episode anime series produced by the animation studio Silver Link was broadcast in Japan between April and June 2009. A manga anthology series drawn by multiple artists, an Internet radio talk show used to promote the anime adaptation, and several music albums were also released.

Gameplay

Tayutama is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Yuri Mito. Its gameplay mainly consists of reading and progressing through the story's narrative and dialogue. The game's text is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Yuri is talking to, appearing on top of background artwork. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the regular background art and character sprites. When the game is completed at least once, a gallery of the viewed CGs and played background music is available on the game's title screen. Tayutama follows a branching plot line with nonlinear sequences and multiple endings, where the plot's direction is affected by the player's decisions.

Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a decision is made. These decisions determine the sequence in which the story's events will occur, and progress the plot toward a specific heroine's ending. There are four main plot lines in the original Windows version that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. This is increased to five plot lines in the Xbox 360 version with the extended scenario for Nue. In order to view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and make different decisions to progress the plot in alternate directions.

Story
The story of Tayutama revolves around the male protagonist Yuri Mito, whose family manages the local Shinto shrine. One day during spring break, Yuri and his friends Ameri Kawai and Sankurou Kaname find in the school's woods a mysterious relic that was used in the past to seal the Tayutai, an ancient, mythological race. Yuri discovers that the school board has determined that the relic is insignificant for preservation, and that it will be demolished to allow the school to expand. After coming to the conclusion that destroying the relic may have adverse consequences, the trio attempts to relocate the relic's spirits. As Yuri performs the ritual, he summons Kikuramikami no Hime, a Tayutai goddess who explains to him the belligerent relationship between humans and Tayutai; Kikuramikami then incarnates as a young girl, Mashiro, in hopes of maintaining a mutual relationship with humans. Shortly afterwards, the relic is destroyed in an accident, releasing the entire race of Tayutai. Among them are Nue, Houou, and Ouryu, three influential Tayutai who hold humans in low regard and are referred to collectively as the . Following the incident, Yuri takes Mashiro to the Yachimata Shrine to live with his family, and later finds Mashiro as a teenager, who proclaims herself to be Yuri's wife.

In their attempt to create a world where humans and Tayutai can peacefully coexist, Yuri and Mashiro battle the members of the Three Mightiest in a successive, nonlinear order determined by the player's decisions. In one scenario, Nue, a young female Tayutai, begins to steal undergarments from the Flawless dormitories due to her curiosity in them. She is defeated by Mashiro and Mifuyu Kisaragi, and finds herself befriended by Mifuyu, who later begins to take care of her as a guardian. Yumina Takanashi, Yuri's stepsister, also begins to take care of Hou, an exhausted bird Tayutai who begins to nest on Yumina's head. Yumina is later attacked by Ou, another Tayutai who makes up the Houou couple with Hou, before the couple reconciles with the help of Yuri and Mashiro. Lastly, Ameri allies herself with Ouryu, the last of the Three Mightiest, out of jealousy from the amount of attention Mashiro receives from Yuri. After Ameri reconciles with Yuri, Ouryu agrees to stop attacking humans, and acknowledges Mashiro's goal.

Reception and legacy
According to a sales ranking conducted by PCPress, Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity was the second best-selling bishōjo game in July 2008, only falling behind Key's Little Busters! Ecstasy. It was also the second most widely sold game on Getchu.com for July 2008, and was the sixth most widely sold game of the year on the website. The game was also the twenty-seventh most widely sold game on the website for the month of April 2009. The game received two awards from the 2008 Bishōjo Game Awards panel, a silver prize for graphics, coming behind Akabeisoft2's The Devil on G-String, and a gold prize for character designs. Tadamoto Ōsawa, the editor-in-chief of the Japanese bishōjo magazine BugBug, praised Moekibara for his heroines' appealing character designs, and cited Mashiro as a character fitting for the award.

The anime adaptation received mixed reviews. Chris Beveridge of Mania.com praised the series' aesthetics. He stated that it "has a solid looking presentation to it with its animation style and character design," and in particular found the costume and setting designs appealing. However, he criticized how the storyline "has a whole lot of the familiar ... that keeps it from standing well on its own," and described the series as "not bad, it's just another show that we've seen before." Stig Høgset of T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews also noted the characters are "generally pleasant to look at." He described the adaptation's story as "fairly straightforward and hardly difficult to follow," but criticized it as "basically written with a complete disregard for logic and common sense." Høgset concluded by comparing Tayutama anime adaptation to Natsume's Book of Friends, stating that although the former is "honestly trying to tell a decent story about the possible friendship between two different races ... [the latter] does this a hell of a lot better."

Several characters from Tayutama also appear in video games created by other developers. Ameri, Mashiro, and Mifuyu were featured as playable characters in the fighting game Twinkle Queen. The game was released on August 26, 2010 for Wii, and also featured characters from The Devil on G-String, Windmill's Shukufuku no Campanella, and BaseSon's Shin Koihime Musō. Ameri and Mashiro were also featured as characters in Illusion's Characolle! 3D animation program series. The program's fourth entry, Characolle! Lump of Sugar, was released on July 1, 2011, and included the characters' models and scenery assets based on Tayutama locales as part of the package.

Cirsium rhothophilum is a rare North American species of thistle known by the common name surf thistle. It is endemic to California, where it is known only from the coastline around the border between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. It grows in sand dunes and coastal scrub near the beach.

Cirsium rhothophilum grows up to  tall with fleshy, woolly herbage usually forming a mound. The thick leaves are wavy and covered in feltlike hairs. They may have smooth, lobed, or toothed edges and small spines. The largest leaves at the base of the plant may reach  in length. The inflorescence bears several clustered flower heads, each head up to 4 centimeters long and 6 cm wide. The heads are lined with woolly phyllaries and filled with off-white to pale yellowish disc florets but no ray florets. The fruit is an achene a few millimeters long with a pappus up to 2 centimeters in length.

The Y(4140) particle is an electrically neutral exotic hadron candidate that is about 4.4 times heavier than the proton. It was observed at Fermilab and announced on 17 March 2009. This particle is extremely rare and was detected in only 20 of billions of collisions.

Since it decays into J/ψ and φ mesons, it has been suggested that this particle is composed of charm quarks and charm antiquarks, possibly even a four quark combination.
The existence of the particle has been confirmed by members of the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider on November 14, 2012 and by the DØ experiment at the Tevatron on September 25, 2013. The Belle experiment has searched for this particle but found no evidence for its existence.
The LHCb experiment observes a peak at the same position in the J/ψϕ invariant mass, but it is best described as a Ds±Ds∗∓ cusp, and is much broader than the previous measurements of the Y(4140).

The Particle Data Group has renamed Y(4140) to follow naming conventions to X(4140).

Love's So Tough is a studio album by the Iron City Houserockers. Released in 1979, the Iron City Houserocker's first album attempts to capture the presence of what was essentially a Pittsburgh bar band playing to a blue collar crowd every night.  While Joe Grushecky's songwriting skills are clearly still developing, his potential is visible in cuts such as "Dance With Me" and "Heroes Are Hard to Find".  The general sound of the album is reminiscent of a slightly "harder" Bruce Springsteen, and the heavy use of harmonica would be a distinguishing factor of the Houserockers for several albums to come.

Background
In the spring of 1977 Joe Grushecky's brother Jon sent him a full page advertisement from Billboard, about the release of a Ronnie Spector record on Cleveland International Records.  The band was known at that time as the Brick Alley Band, and they sent a demo tape to Steve Popovich at Cleveland International Records.  After a personal phone call from Steve Popovich, Joe Grushecky and his band drove out to Cleveland and under the guidance of Steve Popovich and Marty Mooney, made a series of recordings that landed a deal with MCA Records.

The song "Blondie" was originally recorded during the Love's So Tough sessions and issued as the B-side to the "Hideaway" single.  The song would go on to be completely re-written with the help of Steve Van Zandt and re-recorded during the Have a Good Time... But Get Out Alive sessions and issued on that album in 1980.

The Chuck Berry song "School Days (Ring! Ring! Goes the Bell)" was also recorded for the album but was cut from the final release. The track was then released on Pumping Iron & Sweating Steel: The Best of the Iron City Houserockers.

A promotional-only picture disc LP containing an exclusive pre-release mix of the album as well as the track "Blondie" was released early to attendees of the 1979 NARM National Convention in North Canton, Ohio.

The album was reissued in CD format in 1999 by Rock Heritage, and again in 2019 in remastered digital format by Cleveland International Records for its 40th anniversary.

The Eisenhower Monument at the United States Military Academy is a monument to former General of the Army and the 34th President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The subject
As a member of the famed West Point Class of 1915, (known as "The Class the Stars Fell On"), Eisenhower rose to prominence as an Army officer during World War II, where he was the Supreme Allied Commander Europe. After the war, he served as the Army's Chief of Staff before being elected President in 1952.

Description and commissioning
The statue stands nine feet tall and is perched upon a pedestal of red granite.

The bid for the monument originally included noted sculptors Donald De Lue, Felix De Weldon and Walker Hancock, but the commission went to class of 1953 West Point graduate Robert L. Dean Jr. After receiving the commission, Dean was offered one of the General's actual uniforms as a model by Eisenhower's son. Dean molded the wax model at his home in Pennsylvania and cast the bronze statue in Italy before the monument was unveiled on 3 May 1983.

Erasmo Oneglia (1853–1934) was an Italian printer, born in Turin, who was also a successful stamp forger in the 1890s and early 1900s.

Oneglia's first forgeries are believed to have been of the early stamps of Newfoundland and they are included in the second edition of Robert Brisco Earee's Album Weeds in 1892.

In 1897 he was arrested in London for trying to sell forgeries  to the stamp dealers Stanley Gibbons, however, he was let off with a fine of just 20 shillings and his stock confiscated.

Oneglia was closely associated with other Italian forgers of the period such as Angelo Panelli, as well as with the brothers Mariano and Jean de Sperati who worked in Turin for a while and probably with Oneglia.

Cirsium scariosum is a species of thistle known by the common names meadow thistle, elk thistle and dwarf thistle. It is native to much of western North America from Alberta and British Columbia, south to Baja California. There are also isolated populations on the Canadian Atlantic Coast, on the Mingan Archipelago in Québec, where it is called the Mingan thistle.

It was first published in Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc., ser.2, vol.7 on page 420 in 1841.

Description
Cirsium scariosum is a variable species growing in a variety of habitat types. It is made up of several geographic races, most of which have been previously classified as species. The races intergrade but their morphologies can also be quite different. This is generally a biennial or perennial herb. It takes three main forms, a stemless, flat rosette with a cluster of flower heads in the centre, a mounding form with a short, erect stem, or a fully erect form reaching up to  in height. When there is a stem it is usually fleshy, ridged, and woolly in texture. The leaves are sharply toothed or cut into toothed lobes, lined with spines, and up to  at their longest near the base of the plant. The inflorescence holds several flower heads, each up to 4 centimeters long and 5 cm wide. The flower head is lined with phyllaries which may have spines and teeth and filled with white to purple disc florets but no ray florets. The fruit is a compressed achene a few millimetres long topped with a pappus which may be 3 centimeters in length.

It also received a nomination for the Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Rhythm Album of the Year in 2010. It sold 300,000 copies worldwide.

Critical reception

In a mostly positive review, AllMusic writer, Jason Birchmeier says the album "finds him developing as an artist and experimenting with different styles without abandoning his reggaeton roots". He also went on to say that the album is a "solid effort filled with lots of good songs and a few excellent ones". He called "El Amor" the "most obvious stylistic experiment" and the "primary highlight", and said that it "showcases Tito's singing ability".

Rüdiger Safranski (born 1 January 1945) is a German philosopher and author.

Life

From 1965 to 1972, Safranski studied philosophy (among others, with Theodor W. Adorno), German literature, history and history of art at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main and as well at the Free University in Berlin (then West Berlin). There, he worked as an assistant lecturer for German literature from 1972 to 1977. He earned a PhD from FU Berlin in 1976 for a dissertation by the title of "Studies on the Development of Working-Class Literature in the Federal Republic of Germany" (original ). In the late 1970s, he worked as the co-publisher and editor of the Berliner Hefte, a journal on literary life. From 1977 to 1982, Safranski worked as a lecturer in adult education. Since 1987 he has worked as a freelance writer.

In 2005 he married his longtime girlfriend Gisela Nicklaus.

He lives in Berlin and Badenweiler.

Works and TV appearances
Safranski's most popular works are monographs on Friedrich Schiller, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Since 1994, he is a member of the P.E.N. Center, since 2001 member of the Deutsche Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung (German Academy for Language and Poetry) in Darmstadt.

From 2002 to 2012, he co-hosted (along with Peter Sloterdijk) a bi-monthly debate on philosophical and ethical questions, the so-called "Philosophical Quartet" (German: Philosophisches Quartett), for German public-service TV station ZDF.
