Dora Annie Dickens (16 August 1850 – 14 April 1851) was the infant daughter of English novelist Charles Dickens and his wife Catherine. She was the ninth of their ten children, and the youngest of their three daughters.

Life
Born at 1 Devonshire Terrace, Dora Dickens was named after the character Dora Spenlow, the child-bride of David Copperfield in Charles' 1850 novel David Copperfield. According to her oldest sister, Mary, on 14 April 1851 her father spent much of his time "playing with the children and carrying little Dora about the house and garden" of their Devonshire Terrace home. He then changed and went to the London Tavern for an annual dinner, at which he was to give a speech. Shortly before he spoke, his friend John Forster was called out of the room by one of Charles' servants, who came with the news that Dora had suddenly died after convulsions. He kept this from Charles until the speech was done.

"Half an hour before Charles rose to speak I had been called out of the room by one of the servants from Devonshire-terrace to tell me his child Dora was suddenly dead. She had not been strong from her birth; but there was just at this time no cause for special fear, when unexpected convulsions came, and the frail little life passed away. My decision had to be formed at once; and I satisfied myself that it would be best to permit his part of the proceedings to close before the truth was told to him. But as he went on, after the sentences I have quoted, to speak of actors having to come from scenes of sickness, of suffering, aye, even of death itself, to play their parts before us, my part was very difficult."

Impact on parents

Charles returned home. Mary later recalled, "I remember what a change seemed to have come over my dear father's face when we saw him again ... how pale and sad it looked." All that night he sat keeping watch over his daughter's body, supported by his friend Mark Lemon. The next day he wrote to his wife Catherine, who was recuperating at Malvern, Worcestershire. Anxious that news of death might further harm her health, he instead told of illness. Forster delivered the letter and later told her the truth. It read:

Devonshire Terrace, April 15, 1851

My Dearest Kate,

Now observe, you must read this letter very slowly and  carefully. If you have
hurried on thus far without quite understanding (apprehending some bad news)
I rely on your turning back and read again.

Little Dora, without being in the least pain, is suddenly stricken ill. She awoke out
of a sleep, and was seen in one moment to be very ill. Mind! I will not deceive you.
I think her "very" ill.

There is nothing in her appearance but perfect rest. You would suppose her quietly
asleep. But I am sure she is very ill, and I cannot encourage myself with much hope
of her recovery. I do not—and why should I say I do to you, my dear?—I do not
think her recovery at all likely.

I do like to leave home, I can do no good here, but I think it right to stay. You will
not like to be away, I know, and I cannot reconcile it to myself to keep you away.
Forster, with his usual affection for us, comes down to bring you this letter and to
bring you home, but I cannot close it without putting the strongest entreaty and
injunction upon you to come with perfect composure—to remember what I have
often told you, that we never can expect to be exempt, as to our many children,
from the afflictions of other parents, and that if,—if—when you come, I should
even have to say to you, "Our little baby is dead," you are to do your duty to the
rest, and to shew yourself worthy of the great trust you hold in them.

If you will read this steadily I have a perfect confidence in your doing what is right.

Ever affectionately, Charles Dickens

Catherine then "fell into a state of 'morbid' grief and suffering", recovering her composure after twelve hours or so. Charles retained his composure for some time. Mary recalled: "He did not break down until, an evening or two after her death, some beautiful flowers were sent ... He was about to take them upstairs and place them on the little dead baby, when he suddenly gave way completely."

Burial
Dora lies in Highgate Cemetery. Initially her coffin was placed in the catacombs whilst Charles sought a family plot. This took several years, for legal reasons. It was then found on a spot in view of London. The inscription reads "Dora Annie, the ninth child of Charles and Catherine Dickens, died 14th. April 1851, aged 8 months."  On her own death in 1879, Catherine was buried with her. Charles and the other children were not.

Colin Ranger Smith (20 November 1934 – 29 March 2004) was an English jazz trumpeter.

Biography
Born in London, he joined the Terry Lightfoot band in 1957 before moving on to playing with Cy Laurie, in 1958. His long tenure in the Acker Bilk band began in 1959, taking a break in 1966 to sail across the Atlantic in a 45-foot ketch. Rejoining Bilk in 1968, he worked at the same time in the band led by the saxophonist Tony Coe and the trombonist John Picard, and with Stan Greig's London Jazz Big Band.

Cockroach racing is a club gambling activity which started in 1982 at the Story Bridge Hotel in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The event is held on 26 January, Australia Day, and is given the title "Australia Day Cockroach Races". This type of racing has spread to many parts of the world including the United States. In North America, cockroach racing has recently become a popular feature for money, prizes, or just for its entertainment value. It is held in exhibitions promoting entomology where the public and entomologists participate.

In the first-ever event held in 1982, the winning cockroach was called 'Soft Cocky'. Cockroaches are brought to the races by the participants but the roach could also be bought at the venue of the races. The preferred option is, however, to bring one's own cockroaches, from the stable. The proceeds from the event are given away to charity.

Racing
The background to the starting of this race in Australia in 1982 is attributed to two bar buffs who boasted that the cockroaches of their area were the fastest in Brisbane. They tested the validity of their claims in a parking lot.

The racing event in Australia generates a feverish pitch and the event held annually is given the hyperbole as "the greatest gathering of thoroughbred cockroaches in the world". Every year, seven such events are held in Australia, which is known as the sprint, the steeplechase and main event held at the Story Bridge Hotel called the Gold Cup event. The race arena is  ring. The roaches kept in glass bottles are let out in the middle of the ring. The cockroach which reaches the edge of the ring first is declared a winner. There is an entry fee to participate in the event. The winners listed so far in the Hall of Fame of this Australian event are unusual names such as "Soft Cocky, Cocky Balboa, Cocky Dundee, Drain Lover, and Priscila-Queen of the Drains".

Cockroaches are known for their fast speed of movement, second only to the speed of tiger beetles. They can generate speeds up to 50 body lengths per second which in a sprinter's language is of the order of  or equivalent to completing a  sprint in less than 1 second.

In the United States

The racing of cockroaches as a club gambling activity started in Australia in 1982. However, at the Loyola University Maryland, the event of cockroach racing is called "Madagascar Madness: The Running of the Roaches." The students of General Entomology wing of the university train Madagascar Cockroaches for short sprints and also for marathon racing. The race generates lot of interest and large number of people gather to witness the event.

In the United States, the cockroach race is also a popular event held prior to the Presidential election. It is conducted every four years by the Pest Control Association of New Jersey. The race predicts the Democratic candidate for the presidential election; in 1999, Al Gore won over Bill Bradley and Bill Clinton "won by an antenna," in 1992.

In June 2008, in New Jersey, the namesake cockroaches of Barack Obama and John McCain were raced to find the winner in the race held at the Toms River Rotary Club. It was held under the auspices of the Rotary Club of Central Ocean Tom River's Bugfest. The event generated US$1500, which was donated towards providing scholarship to local students.

In popular culture
The 1995 film Race the Sun which dramatised the international competition of a solar-powered race car event, it had an entry from Hawaii, which was named as "Coackroach"; it is said that the design of the race car was inspired by the cockroach running across the room. The boy who designed the race car modelled it to resemble a cockroach with intent to "capture the organic, aerodynamic shape that first inspired cockroach racing. This eventually resulted in creation of robo-roaches.

In the episode "Ellie" of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, broadcast in May 2002, Gil Grissom, an entomologist, is the chief investigator. However, instead of solving the murder he pursues his interest in cockroach racing, taking a jar of Madagascar roaches to a conference. When the murder had been resolved, he glumly announces his roaches could win only second, third and fifth.

The village is situated in the historic region of Farther Pomerania. It lies approximately  north of Borne Sulinowo,  west of Szczecinek, and  east of the regional capital Szczecin.

History
The settlement was first mentioned in a 1403 deed, when the area was part of the Imperial Duchy of Pomerania. The estates were held by the Kleist noble family. After the Griffin dukes became extinct, Raddatz was incorporated into the Brandenburg-Prussian province of Pomerania in 1653.

The parish church was erected in 1744; it housed the personal carriage of the Polish king John III Sobieski, which was brought here by Field Marshal Henning Alexander von Kleist in the First Silesian War and rebuilt as a pulpit (today on display in the Museum of King John III's Palace at Wilanów).

The von Kleist dynasty held the manor until the late 19th century. After World War II, the region fell to the Republic of Poland. The remaining German population was expelled and Radacz manor became a State Agricultural Farm (PGR). For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.

Tony DeLap (November 4, 1927 – May 29, 2019) was a West Coast artist, known for his abstract sculpture utilizing illusionist techniques and meticulous craftsmanship.  As a pioneer of West Coast minimalism and Op Art, DeLap's oeuvre is a testament to his willingness to continuously challenge the viewer's perception of reality.

Early career
Born in 1927 in Oakland, DeLap grew up in the Bay Area and studied art, illustration, and graphic design at several Bay Area colleges, including the San Francisco Academy of Art, and he also attended the Claremont Colleges in Southern California. He returned to the Bay Area, where he taught at the California College of Arts and Crafts, the San Francisco Art Institute and at UC Davis until he secured a teaching position at the newly founded campus of the University of California, Irvine. Bruce Nauman, James Turrell and John McCracken studied with DeLap.

Along with artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, DeLap followed a path of Geometric abstraction and Minimal art embracing the principles of limited color, geometry, precise craftsmanship, and intellectual rigor. Since the early 1960s, he was associated with an emerging movement of West Coast minimalism referred to as "finish fetish," along with several other artists including Craig Kauffman, Larry Bell, and DeWain Valentine.

Career
DeLap's work has been widely exhibited both nationally and internationally. Along with numerous solo exhibitions, DeLap was included in several important group exhibitions of the 1960s including; Primary Structures at the Jewish Museum; American Sculpture of the Sixties at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and The Responsive Eye at The Museum of Modern Art, New York City. He died on May 29, 2019, at the age of 91.

Collections
DeLap's work is in many private and public collections, including the San Jose Museum of Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art; The Museum of Modern Art; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; and The Tate Gallery, London, among others.

Semantic Intelligence is the ability to gather the necessary information to allow to identify, detect and solve semantic gaps on all level of the organization.

Similar to Operational Intelligence or Business Process Intelligence, which aims to identify, detect and then optimize business processes, semantic intelligence targets information instead of processes. It aims to enable better understanding and insight in data by all stakeholders. This will support better information sharing, reuse and governance and support better business decision-making.

Semantic Gap

Several types of semantic gaps can be identified:
 The semantic gap between different data sources - structured or unstructured
 The semantic gap between the operational data and the human interpretation of this data
 The semantic gap between people communicating about a certain information concept.

One application of semantic intelligence is the management of unstructured information, leveraging semantic technology. These applications tackle R&D, sales, marketing and security for activities that include Knowledge Management, Customer Care and Corporate Intelligence.

Several applications aim to detect and solve different types of semantic gaps. They range from search engines to automatic categorizers, from ETL systems to natural language interfaces, special functionality include dashboards and text mining.

One approach that aims to provide a holistic solution to achieve semantic intelligence is Business semantics management. Instead of focusing on very specific type of semantic gap (i.e. unstructured data), it aims to provide a whole solution to align business and it to share the understanding and semantics of information concepts.

History

In 2002, the software company Expert System S.p.A. started to popularize Semantic Intelligence as a term to describe a new generation of information access technology applications based on semantic analysis. In opposition to standard systems to process unstructured information (such as keyword based systems), semantic intelligence applications focus on the meaning of the texts.

In 2008, the software company  started commercializing years of academic research on semantic technology. It has positioned its Business semantics management approach as a way to achieve Semantic Intelligence.

The UK National Scrabble Championship (NSC), a British national scrabble tournament, held annually since its inception in 1971 (except 1995, 2020, and 2021). While it was formerly organised by Mattel, the copyright owners of Scrabble in the UK, since 2014 it is organised by Association of British Scrabble Players (ABSP). It is one of five major scrabble tournaments in the UK. The other four comprise of the UK Open, the British Isles Elimination Scrabble Tournament (BEST), the British Matchplay Scrabble Championship (BMSC) and the UK Masters. The current UK champion is Paul Allan.

History

In 1971, author and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth visited Bristol Prison whilst conducting research for a book and noticed the inmates playing Scrabble; at around the same time, he also saw the Royal Family playing the game in a British TV documentary. He placed a small ad in The Times inviting anyone interested in taking part in a National Scrabble Championship to contact him. Hundreds replied, and after he contacted the game's owners at the time, J. W. Spear & Sons, the Championships were born.

Stephen Haskell won the Championships in 1971 with an aggregate of 1345 points from 3 games. Regional qualifying events were introduced in 1976. The Championships continued to be decided by the three-game cumulative score method until 1988. In 1989, a hybrid format was introduced, in which the winner had to win all of his/her four games with the highest score possible. From 1990, the Championships have been exclusively 'play to win' format with no relation to points totals.

The format has changed several times over the years. It has regional qualifying competitions. A Scrabble tournament is split into at least two divisions based on players' ratings, and placings are determined by the number of wins, then by accumulated point differences (called the spread). In each one-day local tournament designated as an NSC qualifier, players who finish in the top 25% in the top division qualify, with decimals rounded to the nearest integer. For example, if there are 18 players, the top 5 will qualify (since 25% of 18 is 4.5, with the figure rounded up). In the second-highest division, the top 10% qualify. Additionally, extra qualification places are allocated for players rated 170 or above. [1]

Until 2013, qualifiers competed in a semi-final held in another part of the UK, involving 60 qualifiers from six NSC qualifiers competing in a 14-game stage, with the top two playing in a best-of-five final held in London. Since the ABSP replaced Mattel as the sponsor of the NSC in 2014, qualifiers now compete in a 17-game final held over a weekend in November, with no best-of-5 final. The final, like a normal Scrabble tournament, orders players based on number of wins, followed by number of spread points. The player who finishes first after 17 games is crowned the UK National Scrabble Champion and wins a cash prize of £1,000. Smaller cash prizes are also awarded to the top 10 players, plus a ratings prize for the player who improves their ABSP rating higher than all other players. In 2018, the finals were held in London.

The highest score under the cumulative score method was 1863 in three games by Nigel Ingham from Nottingham in 1987. The youngest champion was 15-year-old Allan Saldanha in 1993, and the oldest was 57-year-old Jake Jacobs in 2006, when the championship featured in the BBC Four and subsequently BBC Two program Marcus Brigstocke'''''s Trophy People. In 2012, Paul Gallen became the first player from Northern Ireland to win the title.

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Safari Park Cox's Bazar was developed on an undulating landscape of around  of area at Chakaria Upazila in Cox's Bazar District, Bangladesh, some 107 km away from the port city, Chittagong, with an objective to create facilities for eco-tourism, research work and entertainment as well as from conserving wild animals in a natural environment.

Dulahazara Safari Park is home to at least 4,000 animals of 165 species. After the new government took over in January 2007, joint forces rescued many of these new residents of the park during their drives at houses and establishments owned by graft suspects. Many individuals also donated some of the animals to the park during this period. The seized and donated animals recently sent to the park include ninety spotted deer,  forty two barking deer, three sambar deer, one freshwater crocodile, one saltwater crocodile, nine black bears, four pythons, seventeen peacocks, nineteen Turkish pheasants and two emus.

Another source of animals is the Dhaka Zoo. The animal population in Dhaka zoo has increased over the years due to their breeding, and the Dhaka zoo donated a number of lions and tigers to the Dulahazara Safari Park.

Visitor attractions

The park itself protects a large number of wild elephants which are native to the area. In the safari park there are domesticated elephants which are available for a ride. Other animal attractions include lions, Bengal tigers, crocodiles, bears, spotted deer and many types of birds and monkeys.

Since the park was opened to the public, it has been drawing a huge crowd all year round — 6,000 visitors daily during peak season (November to March) and 2,000 visitors daily during off season (April to October).

The Death of Money is a 1993 book (and an article with the same title) by Joel Kurtzman, a former editor of Harvard Business Review. Kurtzman uses the "death of money" to refer to a change in the economic nature of money in the United States following Richard Nixon's removal of US dollar from the gold standard (as in the Bretton Woods system), informally referred to as the Nixon shock.

The concept of "death of money" also refers to the fundamental change in the nature of business transactions based on a complex, electronically managed system of valuations used for stocks, bonds, insurance policies, and other financial contracts that go beyond the simple, historic notion of money representing physical reserves. A simple view of this concept is that if everyone decides to cash out their bank account on a single day, there is no longer enough paper money to represent it.

Kurtzman discussed how the new electronic financial economy allows for new trends in securitization (e.g., the inclusion of mortgage-backed securities into compound and complex financial instruments), and warned of possible financial reversals.

Kusowo  is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szczecinek, within Szczecinek County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland. It lies approximately  north-west of Szczecinek and  east of the regional capital Szczecin.

History
At the time of the foundation of the German Empire in 1871, the Kingdom of Prussia was the largest and dominant part of the empire. Pomerania was taken by the kingdom, and along with a few other places, and would later be called in Germany "Ostgebiete des deutschen Reiches" (Eastern territories of the German Empire).

Pomerelia (now Pomeranian Voivodeship) was handed over to Poland after the Greater Poland Uprising. It was, however, annexed by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. After the war, it was decided in the Potsdam Agreement that the Pomeranian Voivodeship would be returned to Poland.
