La bénette, (bénéton, cassa-cou... en arpitan savoyard) est un outil traditionnel savoyard, utilisé pour transporter du fumier, remonter la terre de champs en pente, etc. Le bénéton est constitué d'un réceptacle d'osier évasé, porté sur les épaules, et fixé à deux montants en bois.

Vocabulaire
Le mot bénette vient du latin benna (chariot en osier). Cependant, le mot « bénette » est le terme francisé de mots savoyards. Selon le  Dictionnaire français - savoyard de Viret, les mots désignant cet outil varient d'une vallée de Savoie à une autre. Ainsi, la hotte se traduit par trois mots distincts « hotte - benne - oiseau ». En Savoie Propre, on trouve la forme casse-cou, ou encore casse-coup, casse-cou, cassa-cou. On trouve la forme (la plus courante) Bénéton en Pays du Mont-Blanc-Val d'Arly, Beaufortain, et des dérivés, bènéta dans le Genevois.

Description
La bénette est un type de hotte, de « sorte de hotte casse-cou », « constituée de deux perches de bois accouplées en triangle ». Les deux montants sont généralement réalisés avec de jeunes sapins (appelés darbelo en savoyard), ainsi que d'un « coussinet » réalisé en bois de hêtre. Le coussinet se situe en dessous de la partie en osier, et sert à maintenir en place l'ensemble du bénéton. La dernière partie est la partie en osier. Elle est constituée de « palettes » (planchettes de bois) fixées sur le coussinet, et maintenues ensemble par l'osier tressé dessus.

Utilisation
La bénette était traditionnellement utilisé pour remonter la terre poussée vers le bas par la charrue, lors des labours dans des champs en pente. On utilisait aussi la bénette pour divers tâches, comme transporter du bois, fumier, gravier... dans les terrains accidentés des montagnes savoyardes.

Die Kringelhöge ist die seit dem späten Mittelalter in der Hansestadt Lübeck veranstaltete Jahresversammlung des Amtes der Stecknitzfahrer.

Geschichte
Die in der Gilde zusammengeschlossenen Schiffer transportierten ab 1398 gut 500 Jahre lang auf dem Stecknitzkanal Salz von Lüneburg nach Lübeck und trugen so zu Reichtum und Macht der Stadt bei. Das Fest der Stecknitzfahrer  wird seit dem 14. Jahrhundert nach überliefertem Ritual bis heute jedes Jahr im Januar gefeiert. Im Lübecker Dom, in dem sich der Altar der Stecknitzfahrer von 1422 befindet, wird aus Anlass der Kringelhöge ein Gottesdienst in plattdeutscher Sprache abgehalten.

Der Name Kringelhöge setzt sich zusammen aus dem Substantiv Kringel (Brezel) und dem niederdeutschen Verb högen für freuen. Im Mittelalter trugen Waisenkinder bei der Versammlung Lieder vor. Dafür wurden sie mit Brezeln beschenkt, worüber sie sich sehr freuten (högten). In der Gegenwart übernehmen Schulklassen diesen Part. Sie werden noch immer mit Brezeln beschenkt.

Die Kringelhöge ist noch im 21. Jahrhundert eine reine Männerveranstaltung mit rund 200 Teilnehmern. Frauen sind erst am Abend zum Festball willkommen. Die Kringelhöge im Gebäude der Gesellschaft zur Beförderung gemeinnütziger Tätigkeit wird vom Ältermann, dem Vorsitzenden des Amtes der Stecknitzfahrer, geleitet. Früher fand sie im Alten Stecknitzfahrer-Amtshaus statt. Zu den geladenen Gästen gehören Binnenschiffer aus ganz Deutschland und Amtsbrüder wie etwa der Ältermann der Gothmunder Fischer, Kapitäne, nautische Schiffsoffiziere, Vertreter der Hafenwirtschaft und Honoratioren der Stadt wie der Stadtpräsident und der Bürgermeister.

Im Mittelalter wurden bei der Kringelhöge alle Anliegen der Stecknitzfahrer erörtert, doch ging es auch darum, gemeinsam zu feiern. Das Treffen findet traditionell als Frühstück statt, zu dem die Stecknitzfahrer früherer Jahrhunderte die Speisen selbst mitbringen mussten.

Serviert wird dazu in Zinnkrügen ein eigens für diesen Anlass gebrautes Braunbier. Die Krüge gehen mit einem plattdeutschen Trinkspruch reihum und werden vom Schaffer wieder gefüllt. Der Stecknitzfahrer sagt zu seinem Nachbarn: "Ik drink di to."  Dieser antwortet: "Dat do." Der Stecknitzfahrer, nachdem er getrunken hat: "Ik mag nich mehr." Der Nachbar: "Lang mi em her." (Ich trinke dir zu. - Mach das. - Ich mag nicht mehr. - Gib ihn (den Krug) mir.)  Getrunken werden auch Korn und Grog, der in Suppenterrinen auf den Tisch kommt.

In den Reden werden Themen aus den Bereichen Schifffahrt und Hafen erörtert. So sprach sich 2007 Ältermann Hartmut Haase für den Ausbau des Elbe-Lübeck-Kanals aus.  Festreden werden auch von Gästen gehalten, doch als in der zweiten Hälfte der 1980er Jahre Stadtpräsidentin Ingeborg Sommer diese Ehre zugekommen wäre,  wog ihr Amt das Hindernis, als Frau nicht willkommen zu sein, nicht auf, berichtete ein Teilnehmer von damals:  Den Öllermann is dat recht swoor fullen, man he müß se wedder na Huus schicken. (Dem Ältermann ist das recht schwergefallen, aber er musste sie wieder nach Hause schicken.)

Zum Brauch der Kringelhögen-Teilnehmer gehört das Rauchen von Tabak in Pfeifen aus Ton mit langem Mundstück. Dabei wird strikt darauf geachtet, den Tabak nur  mit einem Holz anzustecken. Ein Missachten der Regel wird wie andere Verstöße gegen die Gepflogenheiten der Stecknitzfahrer mit einer Strafe geahndet.

Emir Sultan, vollständiger Name Sayyid Šams al-Dīn Meḥmed ben ʿAlī Al-Ḥüseynī Al-Bukhārī, auch Emīr Sulṭān oder Emīr Seyyid, (* 1368; † 1429 in Bursa) ist nach der Überlieferung ein Nachfahre des 12. Imām Muḥammad Al-Maḥdi. Er ist der Schutzheilige von Bursa.

Leben
Nach seiner Haddsch erreichte er über Umwege Bursa, wo er erste Schüler um sich versammelte. Beim Sultan Bayezid I. genoss er so hohes Ansehen, dass dieser seine Tochter mit Sayyid verheiratete, die ihm drei Kinder gebar. Durch diese Ehe übte er auch großen Einfluss auf den Sultan aus, sodass es ihm gelang, diesen davon zu überzeugen, seinen exzessiven Alkoholgenuss zu unterlassen.

Als Murād II. das Amt des Sultans übernahm, besiegte er dessen Neffen Mustafa (genannt Muṣṭafā Düzme, deutsch "Mustafa der Betrüger", der den Herrschaftsanspruch Mūrads II. bezweifelte) angeblich nur durch die Kraft seiner Gebete. Im folgenden Jahr nahm Sayyid an der Belagerung von Konstantinopel teil.

Sayyid erlag im Jahr 1429 der Pest. Sein Grab befindet sich in der Emir-Sultan-Moschee in Bursa, der Grablege mehrerer osmanischer Würdenträger.

Die Blass-Pappelrose (Alcea biennis, Syn.: Althaea pallida), auch Blass-Stockmalve, Blass-Stockrose, Blasser Eibisch und Bleicher Eibisch genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart in der Familie der Malvengewächse (Malvaceae).

Beschreibung

Vegetative Merkmale
Die Blass-Pappelrose ist eine mehrjährige bis ausdauernde Pflanze, die Wuchshöhen von meist 30 bis 120, selten bis zu 180 cm erreicht. Die wechselständig angeordneten Laubblätter weisen hinfällige Nebenblätter auf. Die ungeteilten bis handförmig geschnittenen Laubblattspreiten sind am Rand gekerbt bis kerbsägig. Zumindest oberwärts ist die Pflanze durch Stern- und Büschelhaare filzig-rauhaarig.

Generative Merkmale
Die Blütezeit der Blass-Pappelrose reicht in Mitteleuropa meist von Juli bis September. Die seitenständigen, kurz gestielten, zwittrigen, radiärsymmetrischen Blüten bilden einzeln oder in büschelförmigen Zymen einen langen, unterbrochenen Gesamtblütenstand. Die sechs, in selteneren Fällen bis zu neun Außenkelchblätter sind dreieckig-eiförmig und spitz. Es sind fünf Kelchblätter vorhanden. Die fünf Kronblätter sind frei, ungefähr 30 bis 45 mm lang und 25 bis 30 mm breit, tief ausgerandet und am Grund von grünlichgelber und außen von blassrosa bis helllila Farbe. Im Gegensatz zur Garten-Pappelrose (Alcea rosea) sind die Kronblätter stets deutlich länger als breit und überdecken einander mit ihren Seitenrändern nicht, wenn die Krone flach ausgebreitet ist. Die zahlreichen Staubblätter sind  miteinander zu einer die Griffel umschließenden Röhre verwachsen. Der oberständige Fruchtknoten weist zahlreiche Griffel auf.

Die Frucht ist eine Zerfallfrucht, die aus ebenso vielen Teilen besteht, wie Griffel vorhanden sind. Die scharfkantigen Teilfrüchte sind am Rücken der Länge nach rinnenförmig vertieft, behaart und besonders am Rand runzelig.

Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 42.

Systematik
Bei der Blass-Pappelrose handelt es sich vermutlich um die Stammsippe der gerne in Gärten kultivierten Garten-Pappelrose (Gewöhnliche Stockrose, Alcea rosea).

Ökologie
Die Blass-Pappelrose gehört zu den Hemikryptophyten.

Vorkommen
Die Art hat ihr Verbreitungsgebiet von Mittel- über Südost- und Osteuropa bis nach Westasien. Im deutschsprachigen Raum tritt die Art ausschließlich im Osten Österreichs auf.

In Österreich tritt die Blass-Pappelrose nur im pannonischen Gebiet Niederösterreichs sehr selten und möglicherweise meist nur unbeständig auf Ruderalfluren über Löss in der collinen Höhenstufe auf. In Wien ist die Blass-Pappelrose  vermutlich ausgestorben und gilt sonst als vom Aussterben bedroht.

Presidio (Originaltitel The Presidio) ist ein US-amerikanischer Actionthriller aus dem Jahr 1988 um einen Mordfall auf einem militärischen Stützpunkt. Regie führte Peter Hyams.

Handlung
Im Militärstützpunkt Presidio an der Golden Gate Bridge von San Francisco wird die Militärpolizistin Patti Jean Lynch ermordet, als sie einen Einbruch im Offiziersclub des Stützpunktes untersucht. Lieutenant Colonel Caldwell wird von militärischer Seite aus beauftragt, den Fall aufzuklären. Ihm wird der Polizist Jay Austin an die Seite gestellt.

Austin hat keine gute Erinnerung an Caldwell, da ihm dieser während seiner Militärzeit auf ebendiesem Stützpunkt ohne Prüfung die Schuld an einem Vorfall zugeschrieben und einen Offizier entlastet hat. Als sich Austin in Caldwells Tochter Donna verliebt, werden die Differenzen zwischen den beiden immer größer.

Im Mordfall verdächtigt Jay Austin den Offizier, den Caldwell vor Jahren gedeckt hat. Ein Projektil aus der Mordwaffe scheint den Verdacht zu bestätigen. Als Austin den Verdächtigen verhaften will, kommt dieser bei der Flucht durch einen Autounfall um; der Fahrer des Fahrzeugs begeht Fahrerflucht.

Für Austin ist der Fall damit abgeschlossen, nicht jedoch für Colonel Caldwell, dem das Tatmotiv fehlt und der mehrere Hintermänner vermutet, unter anderem den Besitzer des als gestohlen gemeldeten Fluchtfahrzeugs vom o. g. Mord. Tatsächlich stoßen die beiden durch das Motiv auf weitere Verdächtige und stellen diese in einer Lagerhalle, wobei sich unter anderem herausstellt, dass Sergeant Major Ross Maclure, ein guter Freund und ehemaliger Militärkamerad von Colonel Caldwell, einer der Hauptakteure in einer Schmuggelaffäre ist.

Kritiken

Trivia
Wie in vielen weiteren Filmen von Peter Hyams heißt eine der Nebenfiguren Spota. Der Name geht auf den Geburtsnamen seiner Frau zurück, mit der Hyams seit 1964 verheiratet ist. In Presidio ist George Spota ein Fahrer für eine Getränkefirma und ehemaliger Militärangehöriger, der in den behandelten Mordfall verwickelt ist.

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is an action-adventure platforming video game, that was developed and published by Konami for the Nintendo 64. It was released in 1999 and is a prequel and expanded version of Castlevania, also released on the Nintendo 64 earlier the same year; it contains a remake of the original game with improved graphics, added villains, and alternate versions of some levels.

Gameplay

A large part of the game's challenge is based on jumping from platform to platform while avoiding environmental hazards, such as enemies and traps. Platforms are usually stationary, but some may rotate out from under the player, move through the environment like a rail shooter, and crumble or fall away underfoot. There are some invisible platforms that either afford players a strategic advantage or lead to hidden items.

Castlevania includes elements from the survival horror game genre. In addition to the trappings and narrative devices of Gothic horror, players are often placed in situations that evoke feelings of stress, anxiety, and vulnerability. Players may be trapped in caged fights with monsters, such as the battle with the Cerberus hounds in the Villa when the screen darkens to near-black. Some caged battles are timed, such as the boss battles in the Duel Tower level, where the player will be crushed by a falling ceiling should they not best their enemy in time. Vampires are often fought in caged environments, with the added complication that they can latch onto Carrie, Cornell, Henry and Reinhardt to suck their blood. If the player does not break free by rapidly rotating the control stick, the character's status changes to "vamp" and they will not be able to use their primary weapon or healing items. Unless a specific item is used to recover, the game becomes exponentially more challenging. Castlevania features two high-stakes survival horror sequences: In the Villa's maze garden, players must help Henry through the labyrinthine hedges while strong, unbeatable enemies give chase. In the Castle Center, players must carefully carry the "magic nitro" item through a nerve-wracking obstacle course to its destination. One fall or hit can cause the volatile chemical to explode, resulting in immediate death.

Plot
Set in the year 1844, the game stars the man-beast Cornell in his quest to prevent his adoptive sister, Ada, from being used as a sacrifice to resurrect Dracula. The game opens as Cornell arrives at his village, which has been burned to the ground by Dracula's minions. He finds Ada's pendant in a doorway and follows her scent to Dracula's castle.

During the course of the game, Cornell comes upon a grand estate owned by the Oldrey family: J.A. Oldrey, the master of the Villa, Mary, his wife, and Henry, their son. Gilles de Rais and Actrise have turned Oldrey Senior into a vampire. At Mary's request, Cornell guides Henry to safety. Later in life, Henry returns to Castlevania to save kidnapped children.

Throughout the game, Cornell encounters his rival and fellow man-beast, Ortega. Ortega has allied himself with Dracula to finally beat Cornell in combat, turning into a chimera like creature. They eventually battle near the end of the game, just before Cornell defeats Dracula and saves his sister. He only accomplishes the latter by sacrificing his man-wolf powers. Unbeknownst to the hero, acquiring this power was the true aim of the dark forces, as it was the perfect sacrifice (not Ada, as Cornell had assumed) to resurrect Dracula at his full power.

Development
Legacy of Darkness was a continuation of Konami's first attempt (Castlevania, also published in 1999) to create a 3D Castlevania. For example, Cornell was present in early development media and press information for Castlevania, but was ultimately removed before the game's release.

Legacy of Darknesss primary focus is on a new story (a prequel to Carrie and Reinhardt's adventures) in which Cornell explores new levels, as well as redesigned levels from Castlevania. Levels from Castlevania that have not been drastically changed (such as the Villa) are often navigated in a new or novel manner and feature different puzzles. Completing the game once unlocks Henry's quest, and he explores his own set of levels and new bosses. Many are redesigned levels from Castlevania.

Carrie and Reinhardt's quests are a secondary focus (bonus features), that can only be unlocked after completing both Cornell and Henry's quests. Carrie and Reinhardt's quests lack the voice acting, some cutscenes and the original level designs present in Castlevania (due to space concerns), instead adopting the new level designs (from Cornell and Henry's quests). Their quests also feature new bosses from Henry's quest, such as Medusa and the Queen of the Spider. They are also given new armor and weapon designs, though the original starting armor from Castlevania can be unlocked during Henry's quest.

In Legacy of Darkness control of the game's characters, camera, and frame-rate were streamlined. The game supports the Nintendo 64's Expansion Pak add-on, which allows for an option in which textures are displayed in a higher resolution. However, this mode has some frame-rate issues.

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness was present within the series' original chronology from its original release until 2002, when a timeline published on the official Japanese Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance website omitted it – as well as several other Castlevania games – from the series' continuity. The others also included Castlevania Legends for the Game Boy, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and the original Castlevania release for the Nintendo 64.

In 2006, series producer Koji Igarashi stated that "These games were taken out of the timeline [...] not because I didn't work on them, but because they were considered by their directors to be side projects in the series". Since the 2002 removal, the events of Legacy of Darkness have occupied an ambiguous place in timelines published by Konami of Japan, Konami of America, and various gaming publications. The most recent English language timeline, distributed with preordered versions of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin in North America by Konami of America, includes Legacy of Darkness but does not describe the game's plot. Igarashi later clarified that he looks at the titles as "...a Castlevania "gaiden" (subseries)" and complimented them by stating "...they both have a really unique take on the Castlevania world."

Reception

Legacy of Darkness received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Blake Fischer of NextGen said of the game, "Legacy of Mediocrity is more like it, at least in 3D. We hope the next installment on Dreamcast will be better, but until then, this is satisfactory." (The planned Dreamcast game, Castlevania Resurrection, was eventually canceled.) In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40.

The Freshman of GamePro said in one review that the game was "basically what the N64's Castlevania was meant to be. It's more of a remake than a sequel, as if you're being asked to forget the one before ever happened. If future Castlevania 3D games can build on the good things about this one (and leave out the bad), then maybe the series can have a bright future after all." Boba Fatt, however, said of the game in another review, "Legacy is bigger, but it isn't better. Even with four characters, the gameplay bites the big one. It's not worth a second look from Castlevania fans, or even a first look from newbies."

In 2012, Tim Turi of Game Informer felt that the werewolf form was interesting but not enough to make it a good game.

Time Extension placed the game 19th on its list of ranked Castlevania games: "While having another storyline to play through is welcome, Legacy of Darkness doesn't do a great deal to correct what was wrong with Castlevania 64, and the attempts it does make at providing something superior – such as support for the N64's RAM upgrade for higher resolution – are undone; the game's frame rate tanks when the RAM pak is installed, making it hard to play. "

The Metropoolregio Eindhoven (MRE; ), until 1 January 2014 the Samenwerkingsverband Regio Eindhoven (SRE; ), is a regional governmental agency for the city region of Eindhoven, Netherlands. The MRE comprises 21 municipalities in the Eindhoven agglomeration, with a total area of 1,457.81 square kilometres. The region has nearly three quarters of a million inhabitants and some 35,000 companies (employing over 330,000 people).

Organizational structure
The MRE is a city region, which means that it is primarily a cooperation of municipalities (it also means that the MRE mandatorily carries out certain tasks for the municipalities, in the form of a joint administration). Final control over the MRE lies with the Regional Council (Dutch: Regioraad), which consists of representatives of the participating municipalities (either mayors or aldermen). The Council sets the general parameters and long-term guidelines within which the MRE operates. The Council also provides overview of the Daily Management, which is responsible for the daily running of the MRE.

The MRE is involved with many areas of administration that are cross-border concerns for the member municipalities. In order to facilitate this, the responsible aldermen for these areas meet six times a year in a meeting.

The Daily Management runs three separate services of the MRE:
 The MRE (the service which carries out the joint administration)
 The MRE Environmental Service, which assists the municipalities in environmental and regional planning
 The Regional Historic Center of Eindhoven

The Environmental Service is the largest of the MRE bodies.

In the area of administration, the MRE has three types of responsibilities:
 City region responsibilities. These are responsibilities that have been appointed to the MRE by mandate of being a city region (that is, the law delegates them to the MRE). Examples of these responsibilities are contracting public transportation and child care. Most of these responsibilities have been moved to the MRE from the province.
 Responsibilities as an extension to municipal administration. These are responsibilities that all member municipalities have delegated jointly to the MRE.
 Responsibilities that one or more member municipalities have unilaterally delegated to the MRE.

Public transportation
The City and Regional Transportation in North Brabant is not entirely the legidomain of the province of North Brabant. Being a city region, MRE is the concession granter for public transportation in the southeast of the province. The current concession holder is Hermes. The MRE also commissioned the creation of the Phileas, a guided bus which runs on the rapid transit lines to Meerhoven, Eindhoven Airport and Veldhoven.

Llantrisant Church (Church of St Illtyd, St Gwynno and St Dyfodwg, also styled "The Mother Church") is located in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Glamorgan, Wales. Built within a short distance of Llantrisant Castle, it was originally in the Norman style of architecture. When described in History of Llantrisant, Glamorganshire (1898), little of the original church remained, with the only traces of Norman architecture being the baptismal font, a portion of the south door, and the lower part of the western arch of the nave. The tower, which is about  high, contains a peal of six bells. The living is a vicarage. Llantrisant Church is a Grade II* listed building.

History
The church was restored in 1873, at a cost of nearly 3000. In 1894, the tower and west end of the nave were restored at a cost of about 1200, when the bells were re-hung, and a white marble baptistery, for baptism by immersion was placed under the tower. There were 333 Free Sittings. Llantrisant Church was founded at a very early period; there appears to be no precise date of the foundation. The church was dedicated to the three Saints, Illtyd, Gwyno, and Tyfodwg. Iolo Morganwg MSS. mentions that "Einion ab Collwyn founded Llantrisant after Llangawrdaf was burnt. This Llangawrdaf is supposed to be near the old monastery of St. Cawrdav, to the south of Llantrisant." From where Iolo obtained this information is not mentioned.

Reference to Llantrisant Church is made in Survey, Exchequer Q.R., Roll 30. 1262. Calendar Inquisition, Record Office, Edward II., page 165. Gilbert de Clare had the advowson of Church. Clark's "Carte de Glamorgan," vol. II.. page 396, mentions indenture of 20 Charles II.. 1668. Sir E. Stradling to W. Prior, conveyance of advowson of Llantrisant Church with others to the said W. Prior. References are also made in vol. III., page 489,'also vol.. IV., page 557. The living is a vicarage in the Archdeaconry and Diocese of Llandaff, rated in the king's books at ^"24 14s. 2d., endorsed, with the vicarial tithes of the parishes of Aberdare, Llantwit, Llanwonno, and Ystrad-dyfodwg; in the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester, to whom the rectorial belong. These tithes are now collected by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England and Wales.

Chapels
There are also several chapels to Llantrisant, Llanilltyd, or Llantwit Vardre (St. Illtyd) Ystrad-dytodwg (St. Tyfodwg); Llanwonno (St. Gwyno); Aberdare (St. John the Baptist). The three first-mentioned chapels are in the patronage of the vicar of Llantrisant; the fourth has also been in the same patronage, but were given up to the Lord Bute on certain conditions. Aberdare Chapel is endowed with ^2,400 Queen Anne's Bounty; there are two Chapelries without the cure of souls in the parish of Llantrisant, one at Tonyrefail dedicated to St. John the Baptist, which is a perpetual curacy, endowed with /"i,888 Queen Anne's Bounty, and 40 acres of land; and in the patronage of the Prichard family of" Collenna.' In this Chapelry, engraved on a stone, is the following inscription: "Catherine Powell, of Wilton, widow, gave to 7 poor people, near dwelling-house, the use and benefit of one milch cow, together with 2 shillings and 6 pence, to each poor, every candlemas forever." The other chapelry is called Talygarn. After being long suffered to fall into decay, it was repaired, and a magnificent new church, built by G. T. Clark, Esq., of Talygarn. The living was a perpetual curacy endowed with ^"1,400 Queen Anne's Bounty, and £10 a year for ever from Sir Leoline Jenkins, and is in the patronage of the Principal and Fellows of Jesus College, Oxford.

Llantrisant Church is styled "The Mother Church" and the expression can only mean that the edifice so designated is of older foundation than the several chapels dependent upon it, and this is very generally admitted, it is certain that the church of Llantrisant is a church of the first or oldest foundation.

Bells

The bells, six in number, are engraved with the following inscriptions:

1st. "Prosperity to those that love good bells. E. E., 1718."
2nd. "Gloria Deo in excelsis, pax in terris, E.E., 1718."
3rd. "Anglicana, contra Pop: Et Fanaticos Floreat Ecclesia, 1718."
4th. "Morgan David, Evan Morgan, Ch. Wardens, E.E., 1718.".
5th. "Jacobus Harris, Sacer, Theologia, 1718."
Tenor bell, "Richardus Jenkins De Hensol Armigher, E.E., Anno Domini, 1718."

In October, 1893, while some workmen were carrying out some excavations for the restoration of the tower, under the supervision of Mr. Carter, the Architect, and Mr. C. Cooksley, the Contractor, they came across a most singular discovery, which turned out to be the mold for casting bells, also the furnace and other arrangements for casting. The pit, after use, had been simply filled in, and paved over, and the matter lost sight of. This plainly shows that the present peal of Bells were cast in the discovered foundry. It seems extraordinary that the belfry of a church should be used as a foundry, an incident rarely known in Wales. Some of the bells required re-casting and tuning. The work was done by Messrs. Carr, of Smethwick, who very arranged room for two more bells to be erected.

Architecture and fittings

The baptismal font is of ancient date, and fine workmanship, having been chiselled out of the solid stone, supposed to be of the 12th century period.

The interior view of the church shows the brass candelabra, presented by Anne Bassett, which was often used before the introduction of gas, for lighting the church. Inscription: "The Gift of Mrs. Anne Bassett, late of Miskin, to the parish Church of Llantrisant."

The brass lectern was the gift of Mrs. Jones, of Coventry Street, London, in commemoration of her family and relations who have been connected with Llantrisant for centuries. Inscription: "This Lectern was presented to Llantrisant Parish Church in 1893 by Mrs. Cecilia Jones, nee Lewis, in loving memory of her Family, who were all born in this Parish."

The communion plate, which is of silver, has the following inscription: "For we have seen his star in the east, and we come to worship him." The Gift of William and Jane Matthews, of Llantrisant, October 10, 1750.

There are three brass tablets on the walls of this church; one, in the chancel, in memory of Mr. Prichard, Collena,—one in memory of the Hewett family, who formerly lived at Tyr Mab Ellis,—and one in memory of an infant son of R. Hill-Male, Esq.

The carved oak screen dividing the church from the tower was erected by public subscription in memory of Canon Jones, Vicar of the Parish from 1865 to 1883. There was placed in the wall of the church an effigy of a warrior, which has the appearance of having been placed in a recumbent position before being removed to where it is at present. It is said to represent "Cadwgan Vawr of Miskin, theson of Dafydd ab Cynvrig Vychan, from Rhys Goch, ap Richard, ap Einion, ap Collwyn. He was a man of distinction, when Earl Gilbert de Clare attempted to put down the Welsh tenures, the said Earl was successfully opposed by Cadwgan, who permanently established the "Moes- y Dyfed."

Stained glass windows
The stained glass window in the east end presented by J. Prichard, Esq, (Diocesan Architect) of Llandaff, and other-members of the Prichard family, with the following Latin inscription: "Hanc fenestram Dei Gloriae memores necnon et proavorum in hac parochia per multa saecula degenerum qui supersunt de stirpe Prichard de Collenna sede hac domini jam faustas restaurata gratulabundi." The stained glass window on the south side was presented by Evan Evans, Esq., in memory of his brothers, Thomas, Richard, and William, 1872. In the chancel, there are two stained glass windows in memory of the Rev. Evan Morgan, Vicar of Llantrisant, who died 1864, and of his wife, Letitia, who died 1868.

Monuments
Probably the most ancient monument anywhere about the church is the large slab with a roughly carved processional cross, which was built into the outside of the north wall of the Church. This is supposed from its character to have commemorated some ecclesiastical dignitary who lived long before the Norman conquest.

In the churchyard is a tombstone on which is engraved the following Crest, "A dragon's head erased, &c.," which tombstone is said to have been erected on one of the Trumans of Llantrisant, who were descended from the Herberts of Pembroke, and the Trumans of Northampton. Some of the family are now resident in the district. Also there can be seen on a headstone near the tower the inscription recording the death of one David Jenkins, who lived to the advanced age of 107.

En géométrie, une chaîne de Pappus est un anneau de cercles situés entre deux cercles tangents intérieurement. Cette configuration a été étudiée par Pappus d'Alexandrie au 3ème siècle après JC.

Construction
On se donne un arbelos, défini par deux cercles  et  tangents en un point ,  intérieur à . Notons  , , les rayons de ces deux cercles, , , leurs centres respectifs,  ,  leurs diamètres. La chaîne de Pappus se compose d'une infinité de cercles situés dans l'arbelos (région grise ombragée dans la figure), extérieurement tangents à  et intérieurement tangents à  ; ces cercles sont successivement tangents extérieurement, en partant du cercle de diamètre  considéré comme le cercle d'indice 0.

Propriétés
Le rayon, le diamètre et le centre du cercle d'indice  de la chaîne de Pappus supérieure sont notés respectivement ,  et  .

Situation des centres des cercles
Les centres des cercles de la chaîne de Pappus sont situés sur une ellipse de grand axe , et de petit axe . En effet, la somme des distances du cercle d'indice  de la chaîne de Pappus aux deux centres  et  des cercles de l'arbelos est constante :

Les foyers de cette ellipse sont donc  et , centres des deux cercles de l'arbelos.

Rayons et courbures des cercles de la chaîne.

Notons  la courbure du cercle d'indice  de la chaîne.

On a la relation de récurrence double  ,

laquelle permet d'obtenir :

 où .Les cercles  sont les deux cercles de Soddy associés aux trois cercles mutuellement tangents , donc d'après la formule de Soddy-Descartes, .

Cette récurrence affine a pour solution générale , ce qui donne, avec les initialisations, . Une application de la relation de Descartes donne , d'où  ou .

Or , ce qui donne , soit .

On peut remarquer que si  est entier et , toutes les courbures  sont entières. Par exemple, pour , , voir la suite .

Coordonnées des centres
Dans un repère orthonormé d'origine  et de premier axe , le centre du cercle d'indice  de la chaîne a pour coordonnées :

Hauteurs des centres
La hauteur  du centre du cercle d'indice  au-dessus de la base  est égale à  fois le diamètre   (théorème connu de Pappus), comme on le voit sur les formules précédentes.

Ceci peut être montré en utilisant l'image par une inversion  d'un cercle centré au point de contact . Le cercle d'inversion est choisi de sorte à couper perpendiculairement le cercle d'indice  : ce cercle se transforme ainsi en lui-même. Les deux cercles  et  de l'arbelos sont transformés en deux droites parallèles prenant en sandwich le cercle d'indice  ; par conséquent, les autres cercles de la chaîne de Pappus sont transformés en des cercles pris en sandwich par les mêmes droites. Le cercle initial  et le cercle final  contribuent chacun pour   à la hauteur , tandis que les cercles de  à  contribuent chacun pour . L'addition de ces contributions donne la relation  .

La même inversion peut être utilisée pour montrer que les points de contact mutuels de la chaîne de Pappus sont situés sur un cercle. Comme indiqué ci-dessus, l'inversion centrée au point  transforme les cercles de l'arbelos  et  en deux droites parallèles, et les cercles de la chaîne Pappus en une pile de cercles de mêeme taille égale pris en sandwich entre les deux droites parallèles. Par conséquent, les points de contact entre les cercles transformés se situent sur une droite à mi-chemin entre les deux parallèles. Et ré-effectuant l'inversion, cette droite de points de contact se transforme en un cercle.

Variantes
On peut construire une chaîne de Pappus en partant d'un cercle quelconque tangent aux deux cercles de l'arbelos, en particulier celui où le cercle initial  est tangent à . C'est le cas par exemple dans le problème XXXIV posé par Jacques Ozanam en 1696 (voir ci-contre), ou dans un sangaku de 1818.

Dans ce cas, le rayon de  vaut  et le rayon du cercle d'indice  est égal à .

La formule ci-dessus donnait  avec .

Or pour raison de symétrie, le cercle précédent  a même rayon que lui, donc  et . Ceci donne en même temps les valeurs annoncée de  et de .

The Personal Injury Commission resolves disputes between people injured in motor accidents and workplaces in NSW, insurers and employers.

The Personal Injury Commission was established by the Personal Injury Commission Act 2020 (NSW) and came into effect in March 2021.

Previously, personal injury claims within New South Wales was dealt with by other tribunals, such as former Workers Compensation Commission, and the Motor Accident Authority (now the State Insurance Regulatory Authority) which delivered the Medical Assessment Service, the Claims Assessment & Resolution Service, and thereafter the Dispute Resolution Service. All these services are now under the Personal Injury Commission, as of March 2021.

The commission was presided over by a judge, called a President, and was appointed by the Governor of New South Wales on the recommendation of the Attorney General of New South Wales. The President was the head of the commission and determines appeals and questions of law. The President also appoints Medical Assessors and Members. The Registrar oversees the day-to-day operations of the commission and makes decisions about certain disputes. Members and Medical Assessors are decision makers who are independent of the worker, employer, insurer, or any other party involved in a dispute.

Current Delegation of the Personal Injury Commission
The Delegation of the commission is as follows:

 Judge Gerard Phillips, President
 Marie Johns, Division Head, Motor Accidents Division
 Marianne Christmann, Principal Registrar
 Siobhan Flores-Walsh, Director, Legal and Policy
 Rodney Parsons, Former Division Head, Workers Compensation Division

Former Workers Compensation Commission
The Workers Compensation Commission of New South Wales was a tribunal in the Australian State of New South Wales. It had unlimited jurisdiction within the state in workers compensation matters.

It was re-established on 1 August 1998 replacing the Compensation Court of New South Wales for most workers compensation matters. Jurisdiction in respect of the injury of police and miners was transferred to the District Court of New South Wales. Common law claims continue to remain the common law courts.

History

Workers compensation was first introduced into New South Wales with the introduction of the Workmens Compensation Act 1910 (NSW). The Act applied to dangerous occupations in which personal injury arose out of an accident or in the course of employment.

The Workers Compensation Act 1926 (NSW) expanded the role of workers compensation in the State. It introduced compulsory insurance for employers and it also established the first specialised workers compensation tribunal in Australia, being the Workers Compensation Commission of New South Wales.

The commission exercised both judicial and executive power. It was constituted with a judicial member and two lay members. The commission also had the power to license and supervise the operations of insurers.

In 1984, the Workers Compensation Commission was replaced by two bodies, the State Compensation Board of New South Wales and the Compensation Court of New South Wales. The Board took over administrative and licensing functions which the commission formerly had, and the Court continued to exercise the judicial functions.

In 1998, the tribunal was recreated and the Compensation court was abolished.

Multitheoretical psychotherapy (MTP) is a new approach to integrative psychotherapy developed by Jeff E. Brooks-Harris and his colleagues at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. MTP is organized around five principles for integration:

Intentional
Multidimensional
Multitheoretical
Strategy-based
Relational

Being intentional involves making informed choices about the focus of treatment, theoretical conceptualization, intervention strategies, and relational stances.

MTP encourages counselors to think in a multidimensional manner, recognizing the rich interaction between thoughts, actions, and feelings within the context of biology, interpersonal patterns, social systems, and cultural contexts.

MTP uses a multitheoretical framework to organize training and treatment. Psychotherapists can use a combination of theories to formulate a multitheoretical conceptualization to understand clients and guide interventions. The combination of theorical ideas and interventions is based on the individual needs of clients.

MTP encourages therapists to work interactively with thoughts, actions, and feelings:
 Cognitive strategies are used to encourage functional thoughts
 Behavioral interventions promote effective actions
 Experiential-humanistic skills can be used to explore adaptive feelings and personal experiences.

Counselors are also encouraged to use theories that explore contextual dimensions that shape thinking, acting, and feeling
 Biopsychosocial strategies focus on biology and result in adaptive health practices
 Psychodynamic-interpersonal interventions are used to understand and modify interpersonal patterns
 Systemic-constructivist skills are used to explore family and social systems and encourage adaptive personal narratives
 Multicultural-feminist strategies encourage clients to adapt to cultural contexts and overcome oppression

MTP training involves building a repertoire of key strategies drawn from different theoretical approaches. Key strategies have been described using strategy markers (suggesting when a particular skill will be most useful) and expected consequences (predicting the likely outcome of a specific intervention). Training also involves learning how to combine ideas and strategies from different theories based on the individual needs of clients. Integrative treatment planning involves conducting a multidimensional survey, establishing an interactive focus on two or three dimensions, formulating a multitheoretical conceptualization, and choosing intervention strategies corresponding to focal dimensions. The Brooks-Harris (2008) text describes applications of MTP to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and health problems.

As a second-generation model of integrative psychotherapy, MTP combines features of earlier approaches. Like Arnold Lazarus' multimodal therapy, MTP encourages attention to the interaction of different dimensions. Like Prochaska and DiClemente's transtheoretical model, MTP describes the relationship between several different theories. Like Larry E. Beutler's systematic treatment selection, MTP predicts when particular strategies will be most useful.

Horace Thomas Johnson (30 December 1886 – 12 August 1966) was a cyclist from  Great Britain. He was born in Fulham, United Kingdom.

Johnson was often referred to as Tiny Johnson or H. T. Tiny Johnson. He won three silver medals at the Olympic games: the tandem race at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, plus both the individual sprint the team pursuit at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium.

Career
Johnson took up cycle racing in 1905 when he joined Putney A.C. at the age of 17. By the age of 20, in 1908, he won a silver medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, competing with Frederick (E.G.) Hamlin in the 2,000 metre tandem race.

In 1911 he won 32 races in top-class company.

At the 1920 Summer Olympics held in Antwerp, he won the silver medal after finishing second in the 1,000 metre individual sprint with a time of 15.1 seconds, identical to Harry Ryan who was awarded the bronze medal. The following day, 10 August, Johnson was a member of the British team in the Men's team pursuit. The team, which also included Cyril Alden, William Stewart, and Albert White, finished in the silver medal position with a time of 5 minutes 13.8 seconds.

In 1922, at the World Amateur Track Championships in Paris, he won the men's sprint title, beating the Olympic champion Maurice Peeters and teammate W. Ormston.

Awards

Golden Book

Johnson's achievements were celebrated in 1949 when Cycling Weekly awarded him his own page in the Golden Book of Cycling.

Камиль Стамати (; ,  — , ) — французский , , .

Сын грека на французской дипломатической службе и француженки. После смерти отца, работавшего во французском консульстве в Чивитавеккьи, в 1818 г. вместе с матерью вернулся во Францию. По решению матери не получил систематического музыкального образования, учился в большей степени литературе и истории и поступил на муниципальную службу, однако как музыкант-любитель с успехом выступал в различных домашних концертах. В 1832 г. на одном из таких концертов игру Стамати услышал Фридрих Калькбреннер, предложивший ему стать его учеником и одновременно ассистентом. На протяжении нескольких лет Стамати вёл подготовительный класс в престижной частной фортепианной школе Калькбреннера, предназначенной для детей из богатых парижских семей; одновременно он совершенствовал свою исполнительскую технику под руководством Калькбреннера, а также учился игре на органе у Франсуа Бенуа и изучал контрапункт под руководством Антона Рейхи. В 1836 г. он совершил также поездку в Лейпциг, чтобы взять некоторое количество уроков композиции и теории у Феликса Мендельсона.

С середины 1830-х гг. и до конца жизни Стамати считался одним из наиболее заметных частных педагогов Парижа. Большинство его учеников не становились профессиональными музыкантами — однако он был первым наставником Камиля Сен-Санса, учившегося у Стамати с семилетнего возраста вплоть до поступления в Парижскую консерваторию в 14 лет. Кроме того, у Стамати учился Луи Моро Готшалк.

Стамати оставил ряд сочинений, в том числе фортепианный концерт, фортепианное трио, несколько сонат; наибольшее значение имели многочисленные этюды, близкие к аналогичным высокотехничным этюдам Карла Черни.

Ebenezer Fuller Maitland FRS (23 April 1780 – 1 November 1858) was an English landowner and politician.

Origins
Maitland was the only son of Ebenezer Maitland (1752-1834), a London businessman and Bank of England director, and his wife Mary, daughter of John Winter. In 1807 he changed his name to Ebenezer Fuller Maitland in accordance with the wishes of his wife's unmarried aunt, Sarah Fuller, who left him her fortune.

Career
In 1804 Maitland served as a lieutenant-colonel in the Reading Volunteers. He was elected Member of Parliament for Lostwithiel in 1807, for Wallingford in 1812 and for Chippenham in 1826, holding the latter seat until 1830 when he unsuccessfully sought election at . He was appointed Sheriff of Berkshire for 1825–26 and Sheriff of Breconshire for 1831–32.

Fuller Maitland was a director of the South Sea Company from 1815 until his death and in 1829 was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. As well as two large London houses, he owned country estates at Shinfield Park and Park Place in Berkshire, Stansted Mountfichet in Essex, Garth near Builth Wells in Breconshire, and High Barcaple in Kirkcudbrightshire.

He died at Brighton in Sussex.

Family
In 1800, aged 20, Maitland married Bethia (1781–1865), the only child and heiress of Joshua Ellis and his wife Esther, the only child to marry of the banker William Fuller, said to be one of the richest men in England. They had twelve children, of whom four sons and four daughters married. His eldest surviving son and heir was the art collector William Fuller Maitland, who was father of the MP and cricketer William Fuller-Maitland.

The trapezius is a large paired trapezoid-shaped surface muscle that extends longitudinally from the occipital bone to the lower thoracic vertebrae of the spine and laterally to the spine of the scapula.  It moves the scapula and supports the arm.

The trapezius has three functional parts: an upper (descending) part which supports the weight of the arm; a middle region (transverse), which retracts the scapula; and a lower (ascending) part which medially rotates and depresses the scapula.

Name and history
The trapezius muscle resembles a trapezium, also known as a trapezoid, or diamond-shaped quadrilateral. The word "spinotrapezius" refers to the human trapezius, although it is not commonly used in modern texts. In other mammals, it refers to a portion of the analogous muscle. Similarly, the term "tri-axle back plate" was historically used to describe the trapezius muscle.

Structure

The superior or upper (or descending) fibers of the trapezius originate from the spinous process of C7, the external occipital protuberance, the medial third of the superior nuchal line of the occipital bone (both in the back of the head), and the ligamentum nuchae. From this origin they proceed downward and laterally to be inserted into the posterior border of the lateral third of the clavicle.

The middle fibers, or transverse of the trapezius arise from the spinous process of the seventh cervical (both in the back of the neck), and the spinous processes of the first, second, and third thoracic vertebrae.  They are inserted into the medial margin of the acromion, and into the superior lip of the posterior border of the spine of the scapula.

The inferior or lower (or ascending) fibers of the trapezius arise from the spinous processes of the remaining thoracic vertebrae (T4–T12). From this origin they proceed upward and laterally to converge near the scapula and end in an aponeurosis, which glides over the smooth triangular surface on the medial end of the spine, to be inserted into a tubercle at the apex of this smooth triangular surface.

At its occipital origin, the trapezius is connected to the bone by a thin fibrous lamina, firmly adherent to the skin. The superficial and deep epimysia are continuous with an investing deep fascia that encircles the neck and also contains both sternocleidomastoid muscles.

At the middle, the muscle is connected to the spinous processes by a broad semi-elliptical aponeurosis, which reaches from the sixth cervical to the third thoracic vertebræ and forms, with that of the opposite muscle, a tendinous ellipse. The rest of the muscle arises by numerous short tendinous fibers.

It is possible to feel the muscles of the superior trapezius become active by holding a weight in one hand in front of the body and, with the other hand, touching the area between the shoulder and the neck.

Innervation
Motor function is supplied by the accessory nerve. Sensation, including pain and the sense of joint position (proprioception), travel via the ventral rami of the third (C3) and fourth (C4) cervical spinal nerves. Since it is a muscle of the upper limb, the trapezius is not innervated by dorsal rami, despite being placed superficially in the back.

Function
Contraction of the trapezius muscle can have two effects: movement of the scapulae when the spinal origins are stable, and movement of the spine when the scapulae are stable. Its main function is to stabilize and move the scapula.

Scapular movements
The upper fibers elevate the scapulae, the middle fibers retract the scapulae, and the lower fibers depress the scapulae.

In addition to scapular translation, the trapezius induces scapular rotation. The upper and lower fibers tend to rotate the scapula around the sternoclavicular articulation so that the acromion and inferior angles move up and the medial border moves down (upward rotation). The upper and lower fibers work in tandem with serratus anterior to upwardly rotate the scapulae, and work in opposition to the levator scapulae and the rhomboids, which effect downward rotation.

An example of trapezius function is an overhead press. When activating together, the upper and lower fibers also assist the middle fibers (along with other muscles such as the rhomboids) with scapular retraction/adduction.

The trapezius also assists in abduction of the shoulder above 90 degrees by rotating the glenoid upward. Injury to cranial nerve XI will cause weakness in abducting the shoulder above 90 degrees.

Spinal movements

When the scapulae are stable, a co-contraction of both sides can extend the neck.

Clinical significance
Dysfunction of the trapezius can result in winged scapula, sometimes further specified as "lateral winging" and in an abnormal mobility or function of the scapula (scapular dyskinesia). There are multiple causes of trapezius dysfunction.

Palsy
Trapezius palsy, due to damage of the spinal accessory nerve, is characterized by difficulty with arm adduction and abduction, and associated with a drooping shoulder, and shoulder and neck pain. Intractable trapezius palsy can be surgically managed with an Eden-Lange procedure.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
The trapezius muscle is one of the commonly affected muscles in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). The lower and middle fibers are affected initially, and the upper fibers are commonly spared until late in the disease.

Underdevelopment
Although rare, underdevelopment or absence of the trapezius has been reported to correlate to neck pain and poor scapular control that are not responsive to physical therapy. Absence of the trapezius has been reported in association with Poland syndrome.

Society and culture

Exercises
 The upper portion of the trapezius can be developed by elevating the shoulders. Common exercises for this movement are any version of the clean, particularly the hang clean, and the shoulder shrug.  The uppermost area can be trained through neck extension.
 Middle fibers are developed by pulling shoulder blades together. This adduction also uses the upper/lower fibers.
 The lower part can be developed by drawing the shoulder blades downward while keeping the arms almost straight and stiff.

It is mainly used in throwing, with the deltoid muscle and rotator cuff.

Piąte zawody cyklu Pucharu Świata w skokach narciarskich 2017/2018 odbyły się w dniach 16-17 grudnia 2017 roku w Engelbergu.

Kwalifikacje do pierwszego konkursu indywidualnego wygrał Austriak Stefan Kraft, który oddał również najdłuższy skok w zawodach o długości 134,5 metra. Za nim uplasował się lider Pucharu Świata Richard Freitag i jego rodak Markus Eisenbichler. Wszyscy reprezentanci Polski pomyślnie zakwalifikowali się do konkursu głównego. W zawodach miały miejsce dwie dyskwalifikacje dotyczące używania nieprzepisowego kombinezonu, a otrzymali je Alex Insam oraz Kento Sakuyama. Na starcie stawiło się 68 zawodników.

Pierwszy konkurs na skoczni Gross-Titlis-Schanze wygrał reprezentant Norwegii Anders Fannemel oddając próby na 133 i 127,5 metra. Drugą pozycję, ze stratą zaledwie jednej dziesiątej punktu zajął Richard Freitag. Podium zawodów uzupełnił Kamil Stoch, który do zwycięzcy stracił dokładnie 2,8 punktu. W czołowej dziesiątce zawodów znaleźli się także Dawid Kubacki (miejsce ósme) oraz Piotr Żyła (miejsce dziesiąte). Punktowali ponadto sklasyfikowany na miejscu siedemnastym Maciej Kot oraz dwudziesty drugi Stefan Hula. Do serii finałowej nie uzyskał awansu Jakub Wolny, którego skok na 116 metr dał mu trzydziestą czwartą lokatę. Cały konkurs przeprowadzono z szesnastej platformy startowej.

Kwalifikacje do drugiego konkursu wygrał Kamil Stoch skacząc 134,5 metra. Za nim, tracąc równo punkt, znalazł się Richard Freitag, który skoczył dokładnie tyle samo co Stoch. Trzeci był Dawid Kubacki, który do zwycięzcy stracił zaledwie 1,6 punktu. W zawodach wystąpił Sandro Hauswirth, który dołączył do drużyny Szwajcarów po zawodach w ramach Alpen Cup, lecz nie zdołał uzyskać kwalifikacji do konkursu głównego.

Ostatni konkurs indywidualny przed Turniejem Czterech Skoczni wygrał lider Pucharu Świata Richard Freitag. Uzyskał on 137,5 oraz 135 metrów, a jego nota końcowa wyniosła ponad 285 punktów. Drugi stopień podium, ze stratą prawie dwunastu punktów wywalczył zwycięzca kwalifikacji Kamil Stoch. Tylko jedną dziesiątą punktu za nim sklasyfikowany został, zajmując trzecie miejsce, zwycięzca pierwszych kwalifikacji Stefan Kraft. Podobnie jak w pierwszym konkursie, zawody w pierwszej dziesiątce ukończył Piotr Żyła, ale tym razem na miejscu siódmym. W drugiej dziesiątce znaleźli się kolejno trzynasty Stefan Hula, szesnasty Maciej Kot oraz dwudziesty Dawid Kubacki. Na dwudziestym czwartym miejscu został sklasyfikowany Jakub Wolny. Zawody, podobnie jak kwalifikacje do nich oraz pierwszy konkurs, rozegrano z belki szesnastej.

Khin Maung (Bank) ( ; 1910 – 20 December 1983) was a Burmese painter and sponsor of the arts who was influential in the art world of Mandalay, Myanmar. More importantly, however, he was the major force for the development of a modernistic movement in painting in Burma, which began in the early 1960s.

In 1952, Khin Maung became a bank manager, and thus he is often referred to as Khin Maung (Bank) to differentiate him from another Burmese painter Khin Maung (Yangon). The names of both Khin Maung (Bank) and Khin Maung (Yangon) are sometimes spelled as "Khin Maung".

Life
Khin Maung (Bank) was born in 1910 at Tantse (), Shwebo District, the second son of a merchant, and became interested in painting at an early age. He began his formal training through a correspondence course from the London-based Press Art School in 1933. In 1934, he took further correspondence courses from (Pyinmana) U Hla and the London School of Fine Arts. He started drawing cartoons and commercial paintings in 1935. He was interested in modern art and graphic art, and after World War II first began teaching these subjects to two young Mandalay artists, Win Pe and Paw Oo Thet, who would both, in turn, have a great impact on the movement in modernistic painting in Burma.

He wrote and gave workshops about modern art, explaining the principles to other artists. In the 1960s, when a movement in modernistic painting began to bloom for the first time in Burma, he exhibited his works in Rangoon, as his students Paw Oo Thet and Win Pe and many other painters with modernistic inclinations were also doing. Along with Bagyi Aung Soe, he is considered one of the founders of modernistic art in Myanmar, but it is very likely that Khin Maung's interest preceded Aung Soe's as he was roughly 15 years older than Aung Soe and there is evidence that his first fully conceived work of modernistic painting occurred as early as 1945 or 1946. In Southeast Asian terms, this would roughly put him on par in time with painters such as Affandi in Indonesia, who were turning to modernistic painting during the same decade. With respect to Burma, Khin Maung may be accurately called the "Father of Modernistic Painting" there.

Khin Maung helped organize art exhibitions in Mandalay and Yangon, and in 1971 he was one of the founders of Lokanat Galleries, an early art gallery in Yangon which is still active today. He worked closely with other Mandalay artists such as Aye Kyaw, Ba Thet and Aung Khin. Khin Maung died on 20 December 1983 in Mandalay.

Work
Khin Maung's painting techniques were influenced by European theories and techniques, derived initially from the British artists in Myanmar during the colonial era. He is known, for instance, to have done early paintings in the British Watercolor School style, which his Mandalay predecessors, Ba Zaw, Saya Saung, and Ba Thet, were fond of (though Ba Thet would ultimately rebel against this style). Later, he became intensely interested in the 20th century European and American movements in modernistic painting. His work was not aggressively modernistic, but it did show cubist and other vanguard influences. The most provocative aspect of Khin Maung's work, however, is that in searching for a modernistic idiom which would suit Burma and not disenchant the conservative tendencies of Burmese culture, he also deeply sought inspiration from the mural painting of Bagan, which was 800 years or so old. This leap in thought was rather brilliant, for it revealed to Burmese painters who were interested in modernising stagnant forms of painting in Burma, namely naturalism and realism, that they did not have to wholly mimic or entirely borrow from the outside world to do so. They could find plenty of inspiration for figurative or non-figurative abstraction in the history of Burmese art itself, in the ruins at Bagan.

Gustaf Wilhelm Palm (født 14. marts 1810 uden for Kristianstad i Skåne, død 20. september 1890 i Stockholm) var svensk landskabsmaler og professor, og far til maleren Sofia Anna Palm de Rosa.

Palm fik sin første undervisning hos en tegnelærer i Lund og studerede fra 1828 ved Kunstakademiet i Stockholm. Sideløbende ernærede han sig ved at farvelægge grafiske plancher i bøger. Palms tidligste arbejder viser stærk påvirkning fra den romantiske naturopfattelse hos den svenske landskabsmaler Carl Johan Fahlcrantz (1774-1861). Hans rejse til Norge i sommeren 1833 medførte et stærkere realistisk islæt i hans kunst i de følgende år.

I 1837 rejste han afsted mod Rom. På vejen gjorde han ophold i København, hvor han mødte både den danske maler og akademiprofessor C.W. Eckersberg og den norske landskabsmaler Johan Christian Dahl, som netop da var på besøg i København. Især mødet med Dahl fik stor betydning for Palm. Han rejste videre til Berlin og derfra til Wien, hvor han blev i to år. På denne tid slog påvirkningen fra Dahl igennem i hans kunst. I 1840 rejste han videre til Italien og tilbragte vinteren 1840-41 i Venedig, hvor han udførte en lang række skitsebogstegninger. I juli 1841 ankom han til Rom, hvor han blev de følgende 11 år og blev en af hovedskikkelserne i den svenske kunstnerkoloni.

Opholdet i Rom blev den vigtigste periode i hans kunstnerliv, og han med sine mange oliestudier udført ude i naturen bidrog afgørende til fornyelsen af svensk kunst. På sine sommerudflugter til landsbyer i bjergene omkring Rom udførte han en lang række malede og tegnede studier. Maleriet af den lille italienske bjergby Tivoli, Udsigt mod Tivoli i Italien, fra 1844 (tilhører Statens Museum for Kunst) er karakteristisk for mange af Palms italienske oliestudier. Her mærkes påvirkningen fra Dahl tydeligt i den maleriske behandling. Studien viser en panoramisk udsigt og er malet med stor friskhed og har et stærkt præg af umiddelbar oplevelse. Under opholdet i Rom knyttede Palm kontakt til flere unge danske malere, der også var taget til Rom på studieophold, bl.a. Thorald Læssøe, A.C. Lunde og Lorenz Frølich. Især Læssøe synes påvirket af Palm.

I 1851 foretog Palm en rejse til Sicilien og Spanien, og han gjorde ophold i Paris, inden han i 1852 var tilbage i Stockholm. Han blev samme år medlem af De Frie Kunstneres Akademi, og i 1859 blev han lærer ved akademiets tegneskole. Ved skolens nedlæggelse i 1880 fik han titel af professor. Han fastholdt sin ungdoms kunstneriske idealer og kom med tiden i modsætning til de yngre kunstnere, som gav ham øgenavnet "Palma Vecchio" (Gamle Palma, egl. tilnavnet på en italiensk renæssancemaler) som repræsentant for en svunden tid.

Palm signerede sine malerier med "GW" og et lille palmetræ.

Hovedparten af Palms studier og skitser findes på Nationalmuseum i Stockholm.
