Maggie Simpson in "Playdate with Destiny" is a 2020 American animated short film based on the animated television series The Simpsons. The film features Maggie Simpson. It is the first Simpsons short film released after the Disney acquisition of 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox).

The film premiered on February 29, 2020, attached to advance screenings of the Disney/Pixar release Onward, with its general rollout on March 6, 2020. It is the third Simpsons film made for theatrical release, after The Simpsons Movie (2007) and The Longest Daycare (2012). The short was released on April 10, 2020 on Disney+.

Plot
Maggie Simpson is taken to a playground by Marge. When another baby goes down the slide and almost crashes into her, she is saved by a boy named Hudson. Maggie becomes smitten with Hudson, and that's when the two play games together, which Maggie fantasizes as a whirlwind romance. At the end of the day, Maggie gives Hudson her blue bow to remember her by, and that night, she dreams about Hudson in her sleep.

The next day, Homer looks after Maggie instead of Marge, and decides he takes her to a different park with food trucks. Maggie sees Hudson waiting for her in the adjacent park, and desperately tries to get his attention, but fails when Homer pulls her away before she can. That night, Maggie drowns her sorrows in baby formula and becomes despondent over not being able to see Hudson.

The next day, Homer babysits Maggie again. Before he can take her to the same park as the day before, Maggie grabs hold of the car's steering wheel and steers it into the park where she met Hudson. She sees him boarding a train for children and runs across the park to catch up with him.

When Hudson sees Maggie trying to catch up with the train, he reaches out to her with her blue bow, but as she grabs her bow, Maggie fails to catch up before the train pulls away out of her reach. Maggie believes Hudson is gone forever, but is unaware that the train (running on a circular closed track) loops around to the station at which it started. Maggie and Hudson reunite on the train engine's cowcatcher, and exchange pacifiers (in lieu of sharing a kiss).

Production
Playdate with Destinys plot was pitched by The Simpsons writers Tom Gammill and Max Pross as part of the episode of season 31, "The Incredible Lightness of Being a Baby." They began working on the episode, and executive producer Jim Brooks suggested using the plot for a short instead.

After 21st Century Fox's purchase by Disney, the Simpsons staff sent Playdate with Destiny to Bob Iger and the Disney staff. According to Al Jean, they asked "Can we please, please go in front of a Pixar movie?" Once approved, they requested to be shown with "something that's compatible"; the staff were "ecstatic" when offered Onward.

Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Studios is reflected in the short's introduction showing a silhouette of Mickey Mouse before transitioning to Homer Simpson holding two donuts. Likewise, the logo for Gracie Films seen at the end of the short replaces one of the patrons with Mickey Mouse.

Release
Playdate with Destiny was first announced to the public on the show's official Instagram on February 27, 2020. It was revealed that the short would be shown in theaters in the United States prior to screenings of the film Onward, starting on March 6, 2020.

It was released to the streaming service Disney+ on April 10, 2020.

Followups
The Simpsons episode "The Incredible Lightness of Being a Baby" has been described as "an extension" and "a sequel," featuring a reappearance of Hudson.

A further short film featuring Maggie Simpson titled The Force Awakens from Its Nap released on Disney+ on May 4, 2021, Star Wars Day. It is the first of a series of shorts of The Simpsons, crossing over with other franchises on Disney+, throughout 2021.

"Nine Million Bicycles" is a song written and produced by Mike Batt for the singer Katie Melua's second album, Piece by Piece. It was released as the album's first single in September 2005 and reached number five on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Melua's first top five hit as a solo artist. It was a finalist for The Record of the Year prize, losing to "You Raise Me Up" by Westlife.

Background
According to Melua, the inspiration for the song came during a visit to Beijing with her manager Mike Batt. Their interpreter showed them around the city and told them that there are supposedly nine million bicycles in the city. Batt wrote a song based around the title "Nine Million Bicycles" after returning to England two weeks later, and it was one of the last songs to be recorded for Piece by Piece. Adrian Brett, who played the ethnic flutes on Batt's album Caravans (1978), contributed to the song; an ocarina was used for the low sounds, and a Chinese bamboo flute for the high sounds.

Melua said that she liked the song "because it is a simple juxtaposition of a trivial idea ('Nine Million Bicycles') against an important idea ('I will love you till I die')". The website indieLondon named it one of the "highlights" of Piece by Piece, describing it as "genuinely sweet ... The meandering blasts of flute that weave their way throughout lend the song a Chinese feel and make it quite enticing".

The single's music video, directed by Kevin Godley, shows Melua being dragged across the floor through a variety of settings, including a brief shot of the Summer Palace in Beijing, until she returns to a picnic in a park with her friends.

Alternative version
In 2005, Melua was criticised by writer and scientist Simon Singh for inaccurate lyrics referring to the size of the observable universe ("We are 12 billion light-years from the edge. That's a guess — no one can ever say it's true"). Melua and Singh met, and Melua re-recorded a tongue-in-cheek version of the song for BBC Radio 4's Today program that had been written by Singh:

"We are 13.7 billion light-years from the edge of the observable universe; that's a good estimate with well-defined error bars/and with the available information, I predict that I will always be with you".

Melua later said that she 'should have known better' as she used to be a member of the Astronomy club at school.

 "Market Day in Guernica" (Batt) – 4:02

Emilie de Ravin (ur. 27 grudnia 1981 w Mount Eliza) – australijska aktorka filmowa i telewizyjna, która wystąpiła m.in. w serialach Roswell: W kręgu tajemnic, Zagubieni i Dawno, dawno temu.

Życiorys
Od dziewiątego roku życia studiowała balet, w wieku piętnastu lat przyjęto ją do prestiżowej Australijskiej Szkoły Baletu, ale po kilku latach nauki zrezygnowała, by spróbować swych sił jako aktorka. Miesiąc po przeprowadzce do Los Angeles zdobyła rolę jako Tess Harding w popularnym serialu młodzieżowym Roswell. Występowała w serialu telewizyjnym Lost, emitowanym również i w Polsce przez AXN oraz TVP1 pod tytułem Zagubieni. Kreowała postać Claire Littleton. Emilie nie pojawiła się w piątym sezonie serialu. Przerwę w kręceniu wykorzystała bardzo produktywnie, pojawiając się w wielu filmach kinowych i telewizyjnych. Najważniejszym z jej osiągnięć z tego okresu (2008-2009) zdaje się być niewielka rola w Public Enemies, gdzie wystąpiła u boku Johnny'ego Deppa i Christiana Bale'a, oraz główna rola kobieca w dramacie Twój na zawsze, gdzie pojawia się obok takich sław jak Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper czy Lena Olin.

Emilie de Ravin wyszła za mąż za Josha Janowicza dnia 28 czerwca 2006 roku. W 2014 roku byli w trakcie rozwodu.

En náutica, los Galones (Cordones, Molduras) son una especie de cintas, aunque de menor dimensión, que terminan la regala de la obra muerta del buque y saltillos de alcázar, toldilla y castillo de popa. (fr. Lisse; ing. Rail; it. Gallone, Forma, Serpe).

El galón o moldura principal de la regala corre desde popa a proa en toda la extensión del costado, paralelamente a la segunda cinta, terminando en la última cuaderna de proa. Sus dimensiones de ancho y grueso suelen ser de diez pulgadas el primero, y de tres el segundo, sin contar el contorno de la moldura.

El galón de alcázar va desde el portalón hasta la gambota de popa; el del castillo desde el portalón hasta la última cuaderna de proa, y el de toldilla desde un poco adelante de proa del palo de mesana hasta el coronamiento. Las dimensiones de estos son menores proporcionalmente al de regala.

Airbus CC-150 Polaris является военным самолётом на базе гражданского самолёта Airbus A310-300, переоборудованного для использования преимущественно в качестве дальнемагистрального транспортного самолёта ВВС Канады.

История
В 1997 году Airbus CC-150 заменил Boeing CC-137 (военный вариант Boeing 707). Первоначально пять переоборудованных самолётов были куплены авиакомпанией , а затем после слияния с Canadian Airlines в 1989 г. перешли к последней. Затем они были выкуплены ВВС Канады. Контракт предусматривал обслуживание самолётов. После покупки Canadian Airlines в 2000 г. Air Canada получила контракт на обслуживание и после реструктуризации поручила обслуживание CC-150 дочерней компании Air Canada Technical Services (ACTS), а затем компании Aveos Fleet Performance. После банкротства последней в 2012 г. правительство Канады заключило временный контракт на обслуживание самолётов с компанией L-3 Communications и объявила тендер на заключение долгосрочного контракта.

Заправщик

Два из пяти CC-150 были переоборудованы для дозаправки истребителей CF-18, которая стала невозможной после снятия с вооружения заправщиков CC-137, и получили обозначение CC-150T. Переоборудование самолётов является частью программы MRTT (Multi Role Tanker Transport — «многоцелевой заправщик»), начатой по инициативе Luftwaffe и ставшей выгодным вариантом для канадских вооружённых сил.

Канадская армия использовала переоборудованные Lockheed C-130 Hercules (имеющие в ВВС Канады обозначение CC-130H(T)) для обучения пилотов CF-18, однако затем вынуждены были отказаться от такого варианта и полностью положиться на союзников по НАТО в вопросах обеспечения дозаправки в воздухе. Осуществление программы CC-150 MRTT позволило Канаде получить собственные средства дозаправке на случай участия в боевых действиях.

Первый переоборудованный CC-150T закончил приёмочные испытания в мае 2008 года.

Эксплуатация
Четыре из пяти самолётов были переоборудованы в вариант Combi-Freighter («комбинированный транспортный самолёт») с усиленным полом и боковой погрузочной дверью. Пятый был переделан в VIP-самолёт для правительственных чиновников. Канадские ВВС классифицируют Polaris как стратегический военно-транспортный самолёт. Он способен перевозить грузы и людей на большие расстояния, однако не может садиться на грунтовых аэродромах, что является обычным требованиям к военно-транспортным самолётам. В таких случаях Канадские ВВС используют другие самолёты, такие как C-17 Globemaster.

Все пять CC-150 состоят на вооружении 437-й эскадрильи на базе Канадских ВВС Трентон.

В 2011 году два заправщика CC-150T были задействованы в ходе боевых действий в Ливии.

Margaret "Peggy" Mackall Smith Taylor (21 de septiembre de 1788-14 de agosto de 1852) fue la esposa de Zachary Taylor y primera dama de los Estados Unidos de 1849 a 1850.

Matrimonio y vida temprana
Nacida en Calvert County, Maryland, el 21 de septiembre de 1788, era hija de Walter Smith, un próspero plantador de Maryland y oficial veterano de la Guerra de la Independencia, y Ann Mackall; "Peggy" se crio en el refinamiento y la riqueza.

Mientras visitaba a su hermana en Kentucky en 1809, el doctor Alexander Duke le presentó al teniente Zachary Taylor, de regreso en casa durante un permiso.

El teniente Taylor, de 25 años, se casó con Peggy Smith, de 21, el 21 de junio de 1810, en casa de la hermana de la novia, la señora Mary Chew, cerca de Louisville, Kentucky. Su matrimonio parece haber sido feliz. Devota episcopaliana, la señora Taylor oraba regularmente por su marido soldado. Se volvió un poco reclusa porque, se dice, había prometido a Dios renunciar a los placeres de la vida social si su marido regresaba a salvo de la guerra. Mientras él servía en la guerra estadounidense-mexicana, ella vivía en su plantación de Cypress Grove cerca de Rodney en el condado de Jefferson, Misisipi.

Primera dama
Con el aumento en la carrera política de Zachary Taylor, su mujer Peggy Taylor literalmente rezaba por su derrota, pues temía las consecuencias personales de convertirse en presidente. Por el tiempo en que llegó a la Casa Blanca, las dificultades de seguir a su marido de fuerte en fuerte y el nacimiento de seis hijos le habían pasado factura.

Semiinválida, permaneció en el segundo piso de la Casa Blanca, dejando los deberes de anfitriona oficial a su hija Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Bliss.

Muerte
Con la muerte repentina del presidente, la entonces débil salud de la señora Taylor se deterioró rápidamente.

Margaret "Peggy" Taylor murió dos años después, el 14 de agosto de 1852, en Pascagoula, Mississippi. Fue enterrada junto a su esposo en Louisville, Kentucky.

Retratos y fotografías
Durante muchos años ningún retrato o fotografía de Margaret Taylor pudieron ser plenamente autentificados y no se conocía ninguno superviviente. Un retrato a partir de descripciones contemporáneas fue realizado en 1903 por Lila G. A. Wolfall para el libro Presiding Ladies of the White House, publicado por la Agencia de Arte y Literatura Nacionales, Washington, D. C. Retratos y daguerrotipos supuestamente de Margaret Taylor emergían de vez en cuando dentro del mercado del coleccionismo pero ninguno fue confirmado o autentificado por historiadores de la Casa Blanca, la Biblioteca del Congreso o el Museo Smithsoniano.

Pero en 2010 se descubrió un retrato de Taylor en una placa tintada. Esta imagen en particular parece haber sido el modelo para todas su representaciones posteriores. Hasta inicios del siglo XXI, la única imagen conocida de Taylor era el retrato encargado por el Gobierno de EE.UU. en 1902 y se creía incorrectamente que ninguna fotografía había sobrevivido. Subastas de patrimonio ofrecieron un daguerrotipo de la primera dama, conservado por la familia Taylor, en noviembre de 2010, identificándolo entonces como una de las dos únicas fotografías conocidas. Había sido prestada por su hija, la anfitriona en la Casa Blanca Betty Taylor Bliss Dandridge, para ser utilizada como modelo para grabados e ilustraciones.

Una breve descripción de su aspecto personal en 1825, cuando tenía 37 años, la describe como "una mujer gorda, de aspecto maternal." Así aparece en "Early Days at Red River Settlement, and Fort Snelling.  Reminiscences of Mrs. Ann Adams, 1821–1829." publicada en Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society, Vol. 6, St. Paul, Minn., 1894" páginas 102–103:En el verano de 1825, el coronel y la señora Snelling con sus hijos... hicieron un viaje a Detroit para visitar a sus parientes, los Hunter y Mclntosh, en ese lugar. Los acompañé en ese  viaje... Cuando llegamos a Prairie du Chien, nos instalamos en Fort Crawford, y nos detuvimos un día o dos a descansar. Los Snelling fueron huéspedes del coronel Zachary Taylor y su esposa, que entonces estaban allí acuartelados. Era con una hija de este matrimonio que se casó Jefferson Davis, mientras era teniente en el ejército. Caí enferma allí, y quería regresar a casa, es decir, al Fuerte. Realmente no me importaba nada más que pasar la enfermedad en casa. Nunca me había separado de mis padres antes. La señora Snelling estaba alarmada, pues no sabía qué hacer más que la acompañara en el viaje, para cuidar de los niños. Habló con la señora Taylor. Aquella señora vino a verme. Era una mujer gorda, de aspecto maternal. Le dijo a la señora Snelling que la mejor manera era entretenerme y pronto olvidaría mi dolencia. Así fue hecho, y la cura tuvo éxito.Otra descripción del aspecto de Margaret Taylor, de noviembre de 1848, cuando tenía 60 años, se encuentra en el The Massachusetts Ploughman and New England Journal of Agriculture, del 18 de noviembre de 1848, Vol. 8, Núm. 7, página 2:

Biografia
Nato nella provincia de La Rioja, giovanissimo si trasferisce a Madrid dove studia presso l'Universidad Laboral de Lardero e presso la Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático, laureandosi in arte drammatica. Come molti attori trova difficoltà a trovare lavoro e si mantiene lavorando come usciere del Teatro Figaro di Madrid. Debutta in teatro con la pièce El caballero de Olmedo e successivamente collabora con la compagnia teatrale Teatro Pobre. Per tutti gli anni novanta è particolarmente attivo in televisione, dove si costruisce una solida carriera di attore comico, partecipando a serie televisive come ¡Ay, Señor, Señor!, Éste es mi barrio, Hostal Royal Manzanares, Periodistas e 7 vidas, quest'ultimo format conosciuto in Italia come 7 vite.

Nel 2001 Pedro Almodóvar lo nota nel film Lucía y el sexo e poco dopo gli affida la parte dell'infermiere Benigno in Parla con lei, che gli vale la prima candidatura al Premio Goya per il miglior attore protagonista. Due anni più tardi Cámara torna a lavorare per Almodóvar in La mala educación, dove interpreta il travestito Paca. Dopo le esperienze con Almodóvar, recita in produzioni al di fuori dei confini spagnoli: nel 2005 è nel cast di La vita segreta delle parole di Isabel Coixet, mentre nel 2006 è al fianco di Viggo Mortensen ne Il destino di un guerriero, dove interpreta il Conte Duca di Olivares.

Nel 2008 è protagonista della commedia Fuori menù, in cui interpreta un cuoco gay alla prese con un bizzarro triangolo amoroso, e della serie televisiva Lex. Assieme a Javier Bardem ed altri personaggi dello spettacolo spagnolo, partecipa al videoclip Moving dei Macaco. Nel 2014, alla quarta candidatura, vince il Premio Goya per il miglior attore protagonista con La vita è facile ad occhi chiusi.

WHKT (1010 AM) is a currently silent radio station licensed to Portsmouth, Virginia, serving Hampton Roads. The station is owned by Chesapeake-Portsmouth Broadcasting Corporation.

History
Although the station's initial application for a construction permit was filed in 1960, it did not sign on until December 12, 1971, as WPMH. It was a daytimer, allowed to broadcast only from sunrise to sunset, to avoid interference with other radio stations.  AM 1010 is a Canadian clear-channel frequency. Years later, the station was permitted to stay on the air around the clock, but using a low power at night.

Expanded band assignment
On March 17, 1997 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with WPMH authorized to move from 1010 to 1650 kHz.

A construction permit for the expanded band station, also in Portsmouth, was assigned the call sign WAWT on January 9, 1998, which was changed to WHKT the next month. The FCC's initial policy was that both the original station and its expanded band counterpart could operate simultaneously for up to five years, after which owners would have to turn in one of the two licenses, depending on whether they preferred the new assignment or elected to remain on the original frequency. However, this deadline has been extended multiple times, and both stations have remained authorized. One restriction is that the FCC has generally required paired original and expanded band stations to remain under common ownership.

Later history
In 2004, the call sign was changed to WRJR. Chesapeake-Portsmouth purchased WRJR from The Walt Disney Company, along with WHKT, in January 2010. In the interim, despite having previously brokered the station to Chesapeake-Portsmouth, Disney, in an FCC filing, stated that it took WRJR, along with five former Radio Disney stations slated to be sold (including WHKT), off the air on January 22. WRJR did not leave the air.

On July 1, 2010, the station's call sign was changed back to WPMH. On November 19, 2021, the call sign was changed to WHKT, in a swap that moved the call sign WHKT from AM 1270 to AM 1010, and WPMH from AM 1010 to AM 1270.

WHKT went silent on December 15, 2021, "due to the loss of its transmitter site". Responsibility for program origination of "The Lighthouse" religious format was assumed by WPMH on 1270 AM. WHKT briefly resumed operations on December 13, 2022,  "utilizing equipment loaned by another broadcaster", but went silent again on January 4, 2023 because "that equipment had to be returned".

Das Hernstein Institut für Management und Leadership ist eine österreichische Einrichtung für Führungskräfteentwicklung. Gründerin und Institutsträgerin ist die Wiener Wirtschaftskammer, eine der neun Landesorganisationen der Wirtschaftskammer Österreich.

Angebot
Das Institut ist Spezialist für die Gestaltung von Lern- und Entwicklungsprozessen. Das Portfolio umfasst offene und Inhouse-Entwicklungsprogramme und Trainings, in denen der spezifische Hernstein Lernansatz zum Einsatz kommt. Praxisorientierung, Methodenvielfalt und das sogenannte Beratungstraining stehen dabei im Zentrum. Die Kombination aus fachlichem Imput, aktivem Arbeiten und intensiven Reflexionsphasen soll nachhaltiges Lernen ermöglichen. Potenzialanalysen, Coachings, Moderationen und Future Labs ergänzen das Angebot. Seit 2017 bietet das Institut den Masterstudiengang Leadership an. Etwa die Hälfte der durchgeführten Veranstaltungen entfallen auf Inhouse-Veranstaltungen, die zweite Hälfte verteilt sich auf die Entwicklungsprogramme, Potenzialanalysen und Trainings.

Als Hauptveranstaltungsort dient seit der Gründung das in der niederösterreichischen Marktgemeinde Hernstein gelegene denkmalgeschützte Schloss Hernstein, von dem sich auch der Institutsname ableitet. Derzeit trainieren und forschen am Hernstein Institut rund 60 Trainer und Trainerinnen. Viele von ihnen verfügen über eine gruppendynamische und/oder systemische Ausbildung.

Geschichte

Bereits 1963 erwarb die Wirtschaftskammer Wien unter dem damaligen Präsidenten Rudolf Sallinger das Schloss von der Vorbesitzerin Erste Österreichische Sparkasse. Sallingers Idee war es, das Schloss als Ausbildungsstätte für Führungskräfte zu nutzen. Nach Abschluss des Ausbaues zum Seminarzentrum fand am 15. Februar 1966 das erste Seminar im Schloss Hernstein statt, ein Unternehmensplanspiel. Im Laufe des Jahres 1965 wurden 28 Arbeitstagungen durchgeführt. 1967 führte Traugott Lindner mit einem Trainerteam das erste gruppendynamische Seminar in Hernstein durch und legte damit den Grundstein für die konzeptionelle Ausrichtung von Hernstein und für den Schwerpunkt im Verhaltenstraining. Gruppendynamik ist seither ein zentraler Baustein des Hernstein Instituts. In den folgenden Jahren gelang es, das Hernstein Institut international zu vernetzen. Experten wie der "Vater der Motivforschung" Ernest Dichter, der Bürokratiekritiker Cyril Northcote Parkinson, der Motivationsexperte Frederick Herzberg sowie der Verbraucherschutzanwalt, spätere Präsidentschaftskandidat und Symbolfigur der Linksalternativen in den USA Ralph Nader wurden zu Tagungen nach Hernstein eingeladen.

Die 1970er-Jahre brachten eine weitere Herausarbeitung der Grundlagen der bis heute geltenden Hernstein-Philosophie: die Verbindung von betriebswirtschaftlichen Aspekten mit sozialer Kompetenz. Ab 1973 bot das Hernstein Institut neben Seminaren auch innerbetriebliche Trainings an. 1976 sprach der linksliberale Ökonom John Kenneth Galbraith aus Harvard anlässlich der Festveranstaltung 10 Jahre Hernstein. In den ersten 10 Jahren wurden insgesamt 1083 Veranstaltungen mit 22.810 Teilnehmern durchgeführt.

Die 1980er-Jahre standen unter dem Zeichen der ganzheitliche Betrachtung von Organisationen. Unternehmenskultur wurde zum Schlüsselbegriff und Organisationspsychologie zum gewichtigen Ausbildungsaspekt. Mit der Gründung des Geschäftsbereichs INTRO (Interne Trainings und Organisationsentwicklung) trug man dieser Entwicklung Rechnung. Weitere Referenten im zweiten Jahrzehnt des Bestehens waren Ota Šik, Igor Ansoff, Vance Packard, Paul Watzlawick, Joseph Weizenbaum, John Elkins (Naisbitt-Gruppe) und Frederic Vester.

Zum 20-jährigen Bestehen des Hernstein Instituts sprach der US-amerikanische Ökonom mit österreichischen Wurzeln Peter Drucker zum Thema Innovationsgeist und Unternehmertum in der Gesellschaft. In den 20 Jahren von der Gründung bis 1986 führte Hernstein 3087 Veranstaltungen mit 54.093 Teilnehmern durch. 1987 wurde erstmals auch Coaching angeboten. Unter anderen lehrten der Physiker und Systemtheoretiker Fritjof Capra, der Kybernetiker und Konstruktivist Heinz von Foerster sowie der Organisationsentwicklungsexperte Peter Senge in Hernstein.

Die 1990er-Jahre waren wesentlich von den Themen: die Aufgabe des Managers als Coach, Entwicklung interkultureller Fähigkeiten und Veränderungsmanagement - Change Management geprägt. 1991 erfolgte der Start des ersten Universitätslehrgangs für Unternehmensnachwuchs. 1992 beschäftigten sich Hernstein-Forschungsprojekte mit den Themen Konfliktgrammatik und Umwelt und Management. Das Buch "Gruppendynamik" wurde herausgegeben. Hernstein wurde der Status einer außeruniversitären wissenschaftlichen Einrichtung zuerkannt. 1994 wurde das Schloss Hernstein um einen weiteren Trakt erweitert.

In den 2000er-Jahren stand das Institut thematisch unter dem Eindruck großer Veränderungsdynamiken durch Globalisierung und Internationalisierung. Interkulturelle Awareness, Selbstmanagement und Reflexionsfähigkeit traten ins Zentrum der Führungskompetenzentwicklung. Ab 2001 gab Hernstein mit dem Hernstein Management Report regelmäßige Studien zu Trends in der Personal- und Organisationsentwicklung heraus. Seit 2005 bietet Hernstein Potenzialanalysen für Führungskräfte an. 2006 konnte Hernstein zum 40-jährigen Bestehen des Instituts auf rund 100.000 Teilnehmer in etwa 4.500 Veranstaltungen verweisen. Gleichzeitig läuteten Referenten wie Alfried Längle, Joachim Bauer, Edgar Schein und Rüdiger Safranski am Jubiläums-Symposium unter dem Titel Leadership macht Sinn bereits den thematischen Fokus der kommenden Jahre ein. 2008 bestätigte ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsprojekt die Wirksamkeit des Lernansatzes "Hernstein Prinzip".

Ab 2010 verstärkte das Institut seine Ausrichtung auf Leadership-Kompetenz. Volatile, unsichere, komplexe und mehrdeutige Zeiten ("VUCA") verlangten nach Führungskräften, die andere inspirieren und für den Wandel befähigen. Agiles Führen, Transformationales Führen, Kollaboration und Ko-Kreation begleiteten daher thematisch das 50-jährige Jubiläum des Instituts im Jahr 2016. Zugleich erschien das Buch "Weil Führung sich ändern muss. Aufgaben und Selbstverständnis in der digitalisierten Welt". Der Startschuss des neuen Masterstudienganges Leadership erfolgte im Herbst 2017 in Kooperation mit der FHWien.

West End är ett samlingsnamn för de stora professionella teateruppsättningarna i och omkring West End i London.

Tillsammans med New Yorks Broadwayteatrar anses West End Theatre erbjuda den högsta nivån av kommersiell teater i hela världen. Kända skådespelare från filmindustrin medverkar ofta på dessa Londonscener.

Londons största teaterdistrikt ligger nära hjärtat av West End i London. Gränserna definieras traditionellt som The Strand i söder, Oxford Street i norr, Regent Street i väster, och Kingsway i öster. Några andra närliggande teatrar anses också tillhöra West End trots att de ligger utanför området, däribland Apollo Victoria Theatre i Westminster. Några exempel på teatergator i området är Drury Lane, Shaftesbury Avenue och The Strand.

Totalt antal besökare år 2002 var 12 miljoner och 2007 var siffran uppe i 13 miljoner. År 2013 sattes ett nytt rekord för West End då biljettförsäljningen nådde 14 500 000 stycken.

Andrew Lloyd Webbers Cats spelades 8949 gånger mellan 1981 och 2002 (21 år). Det var då den musikal som spelats längst.

Fictional police states have featured in a number of media ranging from novels to films to video games.

List of works featuring a police state

Nineteen Eighty-Four by  George Orwell. Orwell's novel describes Britain under the totalitarian Oceanian regime that continuously invokes (and helps to create) a perpetual war. This perpetual war is used as a pretext for subjecting the people to mass surveillance and invasive police searches. The novel has been described as "the definitive fictional treatment of a police state, which has also influenced contemporary usage of the term."
 The Star Wars franchise by George Lucas. The Galactic Empire dominates the galaxy the series is set in and rule it with the help of brutal enforcement carried out by the foot soldiers known as stormtroopers. The Galactic Empire is later reformed under the name of the First Order, who continue the totalitarian and authoritarian practices of their predecessor.
 The Star Trek franchise by Gene Roddenberry. The Cardassian Union is a military dictatorship ruled over by the Central Command and a separate agency known as the Obsidian Order, which serves as both the secret police and intelligence agency of the Union. The Obsidian Order strictly polices the citizens of the Union, even going so far as to record the measurement of each indigent of what each citizen eats. Any person arrested for a crime on Cardassia is treated to a show trial with a pre-determined guilty verdict that usually results in life imprisonment or a death sentence.
 Warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop. The Imperium of Man is a galactic empire run by a small group of oligarchic elites known as the High Lords of Terra. The Imperium imposes strict sets of rules on almost all of their citizens. The Inquisition not only keeps a watchful eye on everyday citizens but would destroy whole planets should there be dissenters or Chaos collaborators.
 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The elite of the Capitol dominate, exploit and repress the rest of what is left of an impoverished United States.
 THX 1138  directed by George Lucas. This 1971 film echoed contemporary images of police beating up anti-Vietnam War protestors.
 We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. The novel is about the "One State" where people live in glass homes and have no privacy.
"A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury. A fascist state is inadvertently created by time travelers as a result of the Butterfly effect.
The television series Babylon 5 features two police states. One is the Earth Alliance government under President Morgan Clark, who ascended from being Vice President after assassinating President Luis Santiago and other moderates; the Alliance uses hardline military units, Psi Corp, Nightwatch, and other factions to crush all dissent, leading to civil war with the anti-fascist military units, government officials, and civilians. The other is the Centauri Republic under the rule of the insane Emperor Cartagia and the more extreme lords in the nobility led by Lord Refa. Cartagia rose to power with the death of his uncle Emperor Turhan and Prime Minister Malachi, and his regime assassinated, punished, slaughtered anyone that became obstacles to power.
"The Honor Harrington Series" by David Weber. Between the books 'A Short, Victorious War', and 'Ashes of Victory', the Republic of Haven is ruled by a 'Committee of Public Safety' which, having come to power by a violent coup, maintains that power by dictatorial methods, carried out by the Office for State Security (StateSec). Towards the end, StateSec assumes complete control over the Republic, only to be overthrown by a military coup whose leaders then restore a democratic system.
At the end of episode 8 in season 3 of Riverdale, the town of Riverdale becomes somewhat of a police state after the town is put under quarantine with the police, under the orders of mobster Hiram Lodge, exercising control and dominance over the town's inhabitants.
The song "Everything Is Under Control" by Coldcut has lyrics that mention a police state: "Television incision on our frontal lobe, Capitalism: our mind control. You know Big Brother ain't a TV show! It's how we roll with what they know."
The state of Gilead in the universe of The Handmaid's Tale novel and TV series exercises extreme control over all its citizens, especially with regard to the reproductive autonomy of fertile women.

Grimalda is an ancient village or hamlet in Istria, Croatia, mentioned for the first time in 1202. It is located on a 447 meters hilltop. This place is also called Belvedere d'Istria because of the magnificent views. The name Grimalda is of Lombard origin (Grimoaldo), a Germanic tribe that dominated northern Italy from the 6th to 8th centuries. The Romanic Church of St. George situated on the graveyard was erected in 13th century and reconstructed during the Gothic period when pillars were added on its outside. Towards the end of the last century, in 1891, beside the old church, the new parish Church of St. George was built in Neoclassical style. The main square is still called with the German word 'Platz' by the inhabitants. The inhabitants are called 'Grimaldesi'.

 original name: Grimalda
 geographical location: Istria, Croatia, Europe
 geographical coordinates: 45° 18' 59" North, 13° 58' 51" East
 Churches
The small church of St. George, it has been redecorated several times and, consequently, apart from the original Romanesque elements, it also has gothic supporting walls. Close to this small church is the bigger neoclassical church, also dedicated to St. George.

"Milwaukee, Here I Come" is a song written by Lee Fykes and recorded as a duet by American country singers George Jones and Brenda Carter.  The single, released on the Musicor label, was a hit, reaching #13 on the Billboard country singles chart.  Carter was also signed to Musicor, which is the main reason she was brought in to sing with Jones on the track, and in an interview with Music City News in the summer of 1968, Jones expressed interest in producing the seventeen-year-old Maynardville, Tennessee singer.  However, Jones would soon make several television appearances singing "Milwaukee, Here I Come" with Tammy Wynette, whom he married in 1969.

Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton also covered the song, including it on their 1969 album Always, Always.

John Prine covered it with Melba Montgomery on his Grammy-nominated 1999 album In Spite of Ourselves.
