title: Montagne des Érables

text:
The Montagne des Érables, also known as Mont des Érables (translation: Maple Mountain), is a massif located in the Charlevoix-Est regional county municipality in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, Canada. It lies in the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park and is home to l'Acropole des Draveurs, a popular hike in the province. It is accessible via the entrances to the park, the main one being located in Saint-Aimé-des-Lacs.

Etymology

The mountain (along with many other geographic features and manmade installations in the park), whose name translates to "Maple Mountain,"  takes its name from the unique presence of maples juxtaposed with the tundra.

Geography

The massif contains the Acropole des Draveurs (Raftsmen's Acropolis), a rock face of the mountain overlooking the valley of the Malbaie River, at an elevation higher than . There are three "peaks" on the side of this wall. Besides the Acropolis, the mountain is made up of a large hilly plateau where the Pic Chevelu, Pic Maculé and Moucherolle lakes are located among others.

Geology
The mountain is mainly composed of gneiss charnockitic and migmatite. The barren western escarpment provides a glimpse of the upper layer of the Earth's crust. Although the Laurentian Mountains chain is one of the oldest on Earth and therefore very eroded, large cracks are visible on this summit as well as on the surrounding mountains due to the pressure on the Hautes Gorges fault.

Fauna and flora
A large part of the mountain is protected by the Grands-Ormes Ecological Reserve because of a maple grove to American elm and black ash, exceptional given its northern location. Also, its treeless summit is covered with alpine tundra and krummholz. This is vulnerable to trampling.

From 2004 to 2012, two to five woodland caribou of the Charlevoix herd occupied its summit, but since 2013, no sightings have been reported.

History
During the Quebec City bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics, the Acropole des Draveurs was approached to host the downhill events, because of its prominence particularly important compared to the other peaks of the massif. However, since there is no infrastructure and the mountain is located in an exceptional natural landscape, the option is not preferred. The project has created reactions from environmental groups, the Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality and the Corporation of the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve. The government decided to protect the region with the creation of Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park in 2000.

Recreation

Hiking
The Acropole des Draveurs trail, near the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park, provides access to the top of the mountain. To reach the trails to l'Acropole, hikers must take a bus from the reception. The hike is 10 km round trip with an elevation gain of approximately . Restored with stone steps at the beginning of the 2000s to increase its accessibility, it remains among the most demanding in Quebec.

title: Julia Carter Preston

text:
Julia Althea Carter Preston (26 January 1926 – 6 January 2012) was a British potter who was responsible for reviving the art of sgraffito (where designs are scratched on to ceramics) in the United Kingdom in the 1950s.

Born in Liverpool, the youngest of four daughters of the sculptor Edward Carter Preston and his wife Marie (née Tyson Smith), a watercolourist and the sister of the sculptor Herbert Tyson Smith, Julia Carter Preston attended the Liverpool Institute High School for Girls, Blackburne House. While studying at the Liverpool College of Art in the 1940s she discovered a passion for ceramics and chose to specialise in pottery, passing her pottery examination and gaining a National Diploma in Art in 1951. Following this, Carter Preston taught ceramics at several colleges in Liverpool and became Head of Ceramics and taught pottery at the Liverpool College of Art when John Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe were students there. She held this post until the mid-1970s. During the 1960s she worked for a period as Wedgwood's official lecturer in the north-west. In 1960 she married Michael Pugh Thomas, a marine biologist and environmental scientist. There were no children of the marriage.

Examples of Julia Carter Preston’s work were presented to Princess Margaret and the Duchess of Kent when they made official visits to Liverpool. Another piece was commissioned as a present for the Prince of Wales when he visited the newly restored St George’s Hall in the city in 2007.

An exhibition of her work was held at the Walker Art Gallery in 1999; this was opened by Antiques Roadshow expert Tim Wonnacott, who is an enthusiastic collector of her work. Carter Preston was made a Fellow of Liverpool John Moores University in 2005. Her work is represented in the Walker Art Gallery, the Liverpool University Art Gallery, the York Art Gallery, the Ulster Museum in Belfast and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.

After the death of her husband in March 2011 she lived in a nursing home near to her former home in Canning Street. Her own collection of her ceramics was donated to Liverpool Hope University where a trust has been set up to preserve the collection and support student bursaries.

title: William Leake (cricketer)

text:
William Martin Leake (23 April 1831 – 25 August 1918) was an English civil engineer and industrialist and a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University, the Marylebone Cricket Club and other amateur sides in the 1850s. He was born at Marylebone in London and died at Newnham on Severn, Gloucestershire.

Educated at Rugby School and St John's College, Cambridge, Leake was placed 24th in the list of Wranglers in 1854. As a cricketer, he played as a batsman, sometimes opening the innings but more often in the middle order; it is not known if he was right-handed or left-handed. His figures are not impressive by modern standards, but he retained his place in the Cambridge team across four summers and appeared four times, from 1851 to 1854, in the annual University match against Oxford. His best innings came in his first appearance in this fixture in 1851, when he opened the batting and made a score of 66, which was the highest innings of the match. After graduating from Cambridge he played one game for a "Gentlemen of England" side in the summer of 1854 and once for MCC in 1858.

After graduating, Leake appears to have gone to Sri Lanka, then called "Ceylon", as a civil engineer but then to have become involved in the introduction tea and cinnamon as crops on the island. By 1873, he had returned to England and was manager of a cement works at Blackwall in London, and he is recorded as such in the 1881 England and Wales census, when he was living in West Dulwich. He retained interests in Sri Lankan tea plantations and as late as 1898 he was representing "tea interests" in Ceylon to a committee debating future currency arrangements for India.

Die on Your Feet is an Australian television comedy series premiering on One on 7 August 2014.  The eight-part series follows the story of five fictional stand-up comedians trying to make a go of it in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The main characters are played by five real life stand-up comedians, and debuted at the real MICF.

The series was created by Greg Fleet, directed by Ted Robinson and is based on a 2005 play. It was filmed in 2010, with some of it even being shot during an actual MICF gala, but due to issues with the show being picked up, it did not air until 2014.

Plot
Five comedians and flatmates figure out their shows and relationships during a run of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Brian Ibsen (Hills) and Sophie Glass (Grant) are antagonistic ex-partners whose separation has not yet been made public. O.J. (Brough) and J.J. (Gates) also have recently separated from each other professionally, having been a well-established comedy duo. They all rally together to help O.J. figure out his show and gala spot, as well as promote him, all of which he is reluctant to do.

title: Hyphessobrycon bentosi

text:
Hyphessobrycon bentosi, the Bentos tetra, ornate tetra or candy cane tetra, is a species of characin fish found in sluggish tributaries at the Amazon Basin in Brazil and Peru. Occasionally, it makes its way into the aquarium trade. It has often been confused with the rosy tetra.

Named in memory of a Colonel Bentos, who was a volunteer on the Thayer Expedition to Brazil (1865-1866), during which the type specimen was collected.

Description
The ornate tetra can grow up to 4 cm (1.6"). It is silvery pink, and has a dark spot around the gills, which distinguishes it from the rosy tetra. Its dorsal fin is black and has a white tip on it.  Males have longer dorsal and anal fins and appear slightly larger than females.

Distribution and habitat
The ornate tetra lives in sluggish tributaries of the Amazon River, associated flood plain lakes. It is a benthopelagic fish and is often found in creeks and around submerged vegetation.

Diet
It is an omnivorous fish that feeds on small invertebrates.

In the aquarium
Ornate tetras are kept in the aquarium hobby. Most individuals in the aquarium trade are bred commercially over collecting them in the wild. They have been sold as bentos tetras, white tip tetras, or false rosy tetras in certain stores.

title: GKS Górnik 1979 Łęczna

text:
Górnicy Kibice Sportowcy Górnik 1979 Łęczna, commonly referred to as Górnik 1979 Łęczna, was a short-lived fan-owned phoenix club founded in 2011 by Górnik Łęczna fans who were unhappy with the name change to GKS Bogdanka. The club eventually changed its name back in 2013 but the fan owned counterpart has continued to operate in amateur football leagues until 2014.

The club has relative success, gaining promotion in its first season to the A-klasa, and advancing through a few rounds of the local Polish Cup. The club had also several players who transferred from the original Górnik Łęczna in protest of the name change.

On 22 August 2014 the club withdrew from all competitions and ceased to operate, the reason cited were the lack of funds and the fact that the original Górnik Łęczna team went back to its original name scrapping the GKS Bogdanka name.

title: Camp Abercorn

text:
Camp Abercorn is an American web series originally slated to release in September 2014 that focuses on being a member of the Boy Scouts of America and also being gay. Using the fictional scouting organization called the Compass Guides of America, Camp Abercorn brings attention to the BSA's position on homosexuality and "the real situations young men face while away from home for an entire summer."

The show is working with a $100,000 budget, which it met through crowdfunding on Indiegogo. George Takei endorsed the series and the Indiegogo campaign in early August, 2014, posting that people should fund it. The post on Facebook stated,  "This is an excellent new Web series in the final hours of its crowd funding campaign. The filmmaker - a gay Eagle Scout - shines light on the Boy Scouts of America, both what it stands for, and the controversies it still faces."

Synopsis

Setting and overview
The series is set in the Rocky Mountains at a summer camp mirroring a BSA-structured camp. GLAAD describes Camp Abercorn as "A new fictional dramatic web series... follow[ing] the staff [who] develop as leaders, or Compass Guides, while learning and growing away from the pressures of school and work." The camp is typical of scouting camps that generally deal with social interactions that are almost exclusively between males.

Characters
Colin: Colin hails from London and is a direct descendant of one of the Compass Guides founders. He wants nothing to do with the camp.

Mark: Mark is Camp Abercorn's new director.

Russell: Russell is a "archetypical life-time scout" who is the shooting sports director at Camp Abercorn.

Zak: Zak is Russell's protege, and also happens to be gay.

Plot
A British teenager angry with the world, a closeted Eagle Guide, and a Shooting Sports Director with a thirst for power, are part of the colorful staff that collide at Compass Guide Camp. A mysterious new Camp Director with a militant past (and pet chicken) finds he's not sure where he's going, but he's leading the way.

Cast
Zak: Morgan West
Russell: Brad Leland
Colin: Declan Michael Laird
Mark: Tyler Cook
Willy: Zach Louis
Sage: Jeff Rosick

Soundtrack

The Currys - Big Cold Mountain

Impact
Jeffrey Simon, executive producer of the series, hopes to "re-direct the conversation away from executives in fancy offices and bring it back to the values of scouts and importance of camp". He continues with "I am in awe of what activist organizations like Scouts for Equality and their LGBT allies have done and are still doing to bring change to the BSA. Boycotts and activism can go far to change policy, but no amount of lecturing can change people. What can change people are stories. What can change hearts and minds are stories." This series, acting as one of those stories, brings more attention to the BSA's policy of excluding gay men serving in leadership positions.

Simon continued, "I hope this series will help bring back some interest in the Boy Scouts. We need an organization to train our future leaders; leaders that believe in the power of equality. I hope I can one day join the troop and give back to the organization that gave me so much."

text:
Agostinho José da Mota (18 June 1824 – 21 August 1878) was a Brazilian painter and teacher.

Biography
He was born in Rio de Janeiro. His inclination for art emerged early in childhood. In 1837 he enrolled in the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts. He was a brilliant student and received the prize of travel to Europe in 1850.

He left the following year for Rome where he studied under the guidance of French landscape painter Jean-Achille Benouville. He spent 8 years in Italy and produced works of true merit there.

Returning to Brazil in 1859 he began to teach at the Academy. Initially he occupied the chair of drawing and then of landscape. He contributed several times to the general exhibition of fine arts, receiving the gold medal in 1852, the Order of the Rose in 1868 and the Order of Christ  in 1871.

Amongst his pupils, Modesto Brocos, Henrique Bernardelli, Pedro Peres, Firmino Monteiro and José Maria de Medeiros became well known.

The Empress Teresa Cristina commissioned several still lifes from him, a genre in which he excelled.

He was the pioneer of outdoor painting in Brazil, preceding Georg Grimm, who received the credit for this.

In later life he faced financial difficulties, having to paint advertising hoardings to survive. He died in 1878 in Rio de Janeiro.

title: Vartiokylä dumping ground

text:
The Vartiokylä dumping ground was a dumping ground in the Vartiokylä area of Helsinki between 1954 and 1962. It was located in the present-day neighbourhood of Myllypuro; the site is also known as the "Alakiventie Street area".

This dumping ground caused the best-known environmental disaster in the history of Helsinki. Part of the neighbourhood of Myllypuro was built on this site with no thought given to possible environmental hazards. In 1999, the city of Helsinki admitted that there was a problem with this neighbourhood and, as a result, apartment buildings on part of Alakiventie Street were torn down, and the land below was rehabilitated so as not to cause further problems.

History

Building of the Krepost Sveaborg
An esker was located at the site, most likely the one called Botbyhöjden, which was subsequently named Puotinharju in Finnish. The gravel from this esker was used for the building of the coastal fortifications in 1915–17 that became known as Krepost Sveaborg.

History as a dumping ground
By the 1950s, the city began to use the hole in the esker for purposes other than storing gravel. The residents of Herttoniemi, closer to the city centre, and especially those living in single-family detached homes on Kitusentie, began to complain about the smell of the Herttoniemi dumping ground located at the intersection of Siilitie and Sopulitie at the time.

Due to the Herttoniemi residents' persistence, their neighbourhood dumping ground was closed and a new one opened in the Botbyhöjden gravel pit. This new location was more convenient in the sense that there was only one person living in its immediate vicinity, a certain Ossian Gauffin, who spoke French, Finnish and Swedish and who was of Wallonian origin.

According to local lore, before the pit was turned into a dumping ground, it was first lined with clay. After that municipal solid waste, carcasses of dead animals, waste oil and other types of industrial waste such as waste from the cleaning operations of a margarine factory, and sulphuric acid from the local gas works, both in liquid form and as silt, began to be taken there.

Soon the leaves in the woods next to the dumping ground turned yellow, and Gauffin was puzzled by the oil that had appeared in the ditches in the surrounding fields. The pollutants escaped from the dumping ground through the esker around it, and with ground and surface waters flowed further into the small wood below it. From there it flowed through ditches of the fields and the Mustapuro brook to the vicinity of the Marjaniemi allotment garden and on to the sea near the Marjaniemi public beach. Helsingin Sanomat reported this in July 1957 in an article headed "Waste oil destroys woods in Herttoniemi". The article noted:

Part of the wood in the slope has been destroyed, walking is dangerous in certain areas due to the layer of oil that covers the ground, and oil found in the ditches in the fields below the slope causes damage to the local agriculture.

The trees in the local woods were dead or dying or clearly damaged in an area that measured up to . In addition to this, another hectare of the wood was facing a similar fate.

Now the city had to react to this revelation. Later the same year, the real property committee of the city forbade the disposal of waste oil and other hazardous waste materials at the dumping ground, but later, due to financial considerations, it had to allow the use of the site as the dumping ground of the Helsinki City Gas Works. The gas works was given special permission to continue to take its waste to the dumping ground, provided that it first neutralized the sulphuric acid waste with calcium oxide.

The city urged its public works department to guard the dumping ground more effectively — earlier it was not guarded at all, as was usual at the time — and to immediately take measures so that the hazards posed by the toxic waste already at the site could be minimised.

The end of the dumping ground
In the summer of 1962, the Vartiokylä dumping ground was closed, but not because of its environmental impact. The official story was that the place was full and could not accommodate further waste materials. Since it had originally been a hole from which gravel had been taken, it did not stick out from the surrounding areas, such as the Iso-Huopalahti dumping ground and the Vuosaari dumping ground did and still do. (These two dumping grounds now replaced the Vartiokylä dumping ground.) Thus, when the construction of the Myllypuro neighbourhood was begun, the new residents most likely were oblivious to the fact that there had once been such a site there.

Although officially the site was no longer a dumping ground, Helsingin Sanomat wrote in 1964 that: "The dumping ground has been closed for quite some time already, but still new loads of rubbish are quietly dumped along the road in the woods, next to the former site. The police has not been able to prevent this from happening".

The Myllypuro neighbourhood
After the dump was closed, the area was levelled into a sand field, where pine saplings began to grow. Once a travelling circus erected its tent on this sand field.

In the 1970s, the area was found suitable for apartment buildings. The wastewater flowing down the brook in the slope of the hill and depressions in the ground were then the only indicators of the former nature of the place. Apartment buildings and a daycare centre were built on the site. Until the landscape was given its finishing touches, the most visible sign of the former dump was the light paint pigment in the bottom of the local brook.

The problems emerge
During 1996–97 the ground and surface waters were examined in order to see if the gas porosity caused environmental stress. Nothing alarming was found in these tests.

However, in connection with work on the sewage system in November 1998, some earth was dug up which needed to be examined. In the same month, a company called Viatek began to investigate the soil at thirty neighbourhood locations, and the waters within the former dump in seven groundwater pipes. At the same time, air samples in the daycare centre, the after-school care centre, and from some of the apartments were collected (a total of six samples). When the examination of these was complete, the report showed that the concentrations exceed the guidelines of SAMASE (SAastuneiden MAa-alueiden SElvitys "Report on Contaminated Soils") project by several hundred times and that there was a large amount of contaminated soil. Polychlorinated biphenyls, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds as well as cyanide and heavy metals were found at the site.

In June 1999, the city arranged a briefing for the residents during which they learned of an evacuation plan that the city had devised. The residents were shocked. The final outcome of the investigations was that the apartment buildings were ordered to be demolished.

The city tenants were offered housing elsewhere, and the owners of the apartments at Alakiventie 8 were to be compensated by the city for their former “market value”. A dispute arose over the issue of "market value". Some of the people continued to live in their units up until early November 2003. In 2008, the Helsinki District Court ruled that the city was to compensate the former residents of Alakiventie 8 since they were forced to move elsewhere; the city was also compelled to pay legal costs. Alakiventie 4 was intended to be left standing but instead was demolished.

The end result of the restoration works
A park was constructed on the site, in the middle of which a “cone” was built. The contaminated soil from the edges of the former dump was placed in this cone. The cone has been described as a “layered cake”, which has various layers insulating the “delicacies” of the core of the cone. The cone can be seen clearly on maps as a circle between the Roihupelto metro depot and the Ring I highway. It is  high, but it appears even higher due to the natural slopes of the esker below.

title: The Midas Coffin

text:
The Midas Coffin is a novel by Martin Cruz Smith published under the pseudonym Simon Quinn in 1975.  It was fifth of six installments in a series titled The Inquisitor.  The entire series was published inside a two-year span between 1974 and 1975.  The novel's protagonist is a former CIA agent named Francis Xavier Killy who has become a lay brother in the Militia Christi.  The novel follows Killy as he tries to track down a killer among a group of fanatics while trying to handle a train heist orchestrated by a former colleague.  It was nominated by the Mystery Writers of America for an Edgar Award in the category of Best Original Paperback Novel, Smith's third Edgar nomination.

Plot

A suicide bomber named Ivan Bolotny trying to destroy Lenin's Mausoleum ends up killing himself in a locked room.  Shortly thereafter his brother is murdered and a bishop named Nescou has gone missing.  The Militia Christi is tasked by the Catholic Church with solving the crime because church members can be implicated, and their lay brother Francis Killy is sent to Switzerland to track down Nescou.  Whilst there he runs into a former colleague named Carlin who worked for the British Secret Service as has partnered with a Russian massage therapist named Marya.  It turns out that Marya, Nescou and the Bolotny brothers are/were members of an fanatical anti-sex sect called Skoptsy.  Carlin, who is not a member of the sect, reveals to Killy that he quit the Secret Service after inheriting money from a relative and stealing a patent to refine titanium.  His company, however, has gone broke and he is now planning a train heist and requests Killy's help. Killy informs his superior, Cella, of this plan and is instructed to go along with it.  The plan involves tracking down a Russian train and breaking into it whilst it is stationary, removing gold bullion, and then replacing it with gold-plated lead so that the theft is not detected until well after it has been removed.  Though the heist is successful, the Skoptsy ambush Killy, and Nescou tries to shoot and kill Killy, but is ultimately unsuccessful.  Killy returns to report to Cella and is sent to Russia to track down Nescou and the gold in the resorts of Sochi.  While divining in a mud bath in Sochi, Killy discovers that the gold is hidden under the baths, but Nescou enters the room and tries to shoot Killy again.  Killy manages to submerge Nescou in the water and drown him.  Killy then returns to Switzerland where he expects Carlin has returned.  Carlin must dilute the quality of the gold because all Russian gold is refined to .999, whereas other countries only refine gold to .995.  Killy locates the smelting plant and tracks down Carlin.  The two have a confrontation where Carlin reveals that he did not know about the ambush.  Killy tells Carlin that the grandson of the man whose patent Carlin stole is aiming to get revenge, but the man enters the room and shoots Carlin before he can escape.  Killy returns home to Rome where he runs into his former girlfriend and tells his frequently absent partner Mario that he plans on making sure she is happy with her new husband and on rescuing her should she be ill-treated.

In Other Media

The plot of The Midas Coffin bears a strikingly similar resemblance to the plot of an episode of Breaking Bad titled "Dead Freight".  Both narratives feature a train heist where a train is stopped and its contents are removed and then replaced with materials that look similar but are not of the same quality.  Both narratives also require that the switch occur in a brief and specific amount of time and sets the characters racing against a clock to complete the swap.

title: Philip A. Amerson

text:
Philip Amos Amerson (born January 1, 1946) is a theological educator, pastor and social researcher. He served as president of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and the Claremont School of Theology.

Early life and education
Amerson was born in southern Indiana and raised in a Methodist pastor's home. After graduating from Shortridge High School in Indianapolis he attended Asbury College and Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky. His doctoral work was done at Emory University where he studied the Sociology of Religion under Jackson Carroll and Earl D. C. Brewer.  During this time he wrote Racism and Suburban Congregations: Strategies for Change.

Career
Amerson worked in several academic and religious settings, and also engaged in research on urban parishes for the Lilly Endowment.  From 1970 through 2000 he divided his time between academic research and the church, teaching in colleges and graduate schools.  He also taught for a year in the Republic of Panama at the Instituto Pan Americano.  In 1977 Amerson and his wife, Dr. Elaine (Mallard) Amerson left teaching posts at Emory University to become founding members of an intentional Christian Community, Patchwork Ministries, in Evansville, Indiana; they there stayed until 1986.  While serving as parish pastor in Indianapolis and Bloomington, Indiana Amerson continued to function as a researcher and consultant.

In the 1980s Amerson began to write, speak and teach about institutional leadership, urban community development and the role of congregations in addressing poverty and discrimination.  His work in these years was influenced by conversations with Robert K. Greenleaf. Amerson studied the role of Servant Leadership in urban parish life and interpreted Greenleaf's writings on the role of theological seminaries.

Amerson met John McKnight, an initiator of the Asset Based Community Development movement, at Northwestern University.  McKnight's critique of the social service industry and helping institutions influenced Amerson to focus more of his own work on building on the capacities found among the residents of poor communities.  He was additionally influenced by Herman B Wells, a member of his parish in Bloomington, Indiana, and president and chancellor of Indiana University, to study the development of social institutions.

In 2000 he became the president of Claremont School of Theology and then in 2006 moved to the presidency of Garrett-Evangelical Theology Seminary on the Campus of Northwestern University.  During these years he served two terms as leader of the Association of United Methodist Theological Schools and Senator and Vice-President of the United Methodist University Senate.

Amerson wrote and spoke of his concerns that his denomination gave preference to those in wealthy and suburban settings and practiced discrimination based on sexual orientation.  He was an elected delegate to the world gathering of United Methodists at their General Conferences in 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004.  He was a presenter on academic topics and a convener at several gatherings of the Oxford Institutes of Methodist Theological Studies, which occur every five years.

After retiring from seminary administration he served as interim senior pastor of St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch, Colorado (2014) and First United Methodist, San Diego, California (2018–19). He continues to undertake consulting, writing and research from his home in Bloomington, Indiana.

title: Bananas Music

text:
Bananas Music is an American record store that operates two locations in St. Petersburg, Florida. Opened in 1977, Bananas Music unofficially claims to be the largest record store in the United States, housing over 3 million vinyl records.

Background
According to the store's official website, Bananas was founded by Doug and Michelle Allen as a book store in 1977 that evolved into a record store in the ensuing years, eventually selling off its book inventory. The 6,500-square-foot warehouse, located at 2226 16th Avenue North, exclusively carries vinyl records, and unofficially claims to be the largest record store in the United States, carrying over 3 million records. In 2010, the store opened a second location nearby at 2887 22nd Avenue North that carries compact discs, DVDs, and vinyl. The location is larger than the warehouse, with over 10,000 square feet. "We saw the location on 22nd North in September and decided it was time to go back in a mainstream location," said owner Doug Allen to the Tampa Bay Times at the time. Bananas also has a 6,000 square foot warehouse for audio equipment and more stock which is located across the street from the two story warehouse.

Rolling Stone listed Bananas Music on their 2010 list of The Best Record Stores in the United States, writing, "A two-story warehouse housing nearly 3 million pieces of vinyl, this St. Petersburg monster is well named [...] Stories abound of fanatical collectors who plan vacations around all-day (or longer) excursions into its LP and 45 catacombs."

The Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies (IOCS) is a theological college in Cambridge, England. It works in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University and awards its degree programs through these universities. IOCS is the only Christian Orthodox institute for higher education in the UK and the only academic institution teaching the Orthodox faith in English anywhere in western Europe. Along with other theological colleges in Cambridge, it is a member of the Cambridge Theological Federation. The institute adopts a holistic approach to learning that integrates academic study with a liturgical life.

Foundation and vision
The idea of an Orthodox institute was conceived after Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1996 by the University of Cambridge. The institute was established and received the first admission of students in 1999. The declared aims of the institute, as expressed in its memorandum and articles of association, are "to advance religious and theological education, particularly of members of the Orthodox Church."

IOCS was founded 2 March 1999 as a registered charity and limited company in England and Wales. It became a member of the Cambridge Theological Federation in the same year. In 2012 the Orthodox Episcopal Assembly for Great Britain and Ireland recognised, approved and blessed IOCS as an educational centre and appointed one of its bishops, Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, to be the institute's first president. Concordant with the teaching at IOCS, he is also an advocate for teaching the Orthodox faith in English.

In 2013 the institute acquired its own premises in Palamas House on Chesterton High Street, Cambridge. Prior to this it was based in rented quarters at Wesley House, a Methodist theological college in Jesus Lane, Cambridge.

Organisation and administration
As a pan-Orthodox foundation, the institute is not maintained by any one branch of the Orthodox Church. It is supported by donations from a number of educational trusts and benefactors.

Biannual meetings of company members elect the chairman and directors. The directors also serve as trustees of the charity. The directors select a treasurer and a secretary for the company and appoint the principal, to whom is entrusted the day-to-day management of the institute with the advice of an executive committee of the board comprising the principal, the chairman of the board and the treasurer. Since 2012 the institute has also had a president, who is appointed by the Orthodox Episcopal Assembly for Great Britain and Ireland and serves as a liaison between the institute and the Assembly of Bishops. The first appointed president was Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, who is acting today.

Educational programs
A wide range of courses are offered by the institute designed to facilitate inquiry and understanding of the Orthodox tradition at all levels from introductory courses in the Orthodox faith to specialist doctorate research projects. Current programs include:

 The Way - an introduction to the Orthodox faith
 Distance Learning Certificate in Orthodox Christian Studies
 Distance Learning Diploma in Orthodox Christian Studies

University courses
Some courses and degree programs are provided in partnership with the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University:

 Certificate in Theology for Ministry (CTM)
 Bachelor of Theology for Ministry (BTh)
 BA in Theology and Religious Studies
 MA in Pastoral Theology
 Master of Philosophy (MPhil)
 Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The institute also organises an annual series of conferences entitled Community Lecture Days. In 2014 the theme of the lectures was "Orthodoxy in the contemporary world".

Liturgical life
Vespers is normally held in the institute library on Wednesdays evenings. As a pan-Orthodox house, the institute also encourages students to attach themselves to one of the other Orthodox congregations in Cambridge.

The T-shaped building is fashioned from stone reportedly gathered in the Mill Creek area about  southeast of Robbinsville.  The building occupies a prominent location in the center of Robbinsville; it is one of three North Carolina courthouses built with funds from the Depression-era Works Progress Administration.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

title: Planuncus

text:
Planuncus is a genus of cockroaches native to Old World (especially Europe) described by Bohn in 2013 and belonging to the family Ectobiidae, subfamily Ectobiinae.

The genus was only recently erected in an ongoing effort to create better groupings of species in the Ectobiinae and is composed of species previously classified as Ectobius and Phyllodromica that share a number of characters to set these off from other species in these genera. The defining characters are mainly in the male genitalia and subgenital plate, so externally the species of the genus are not clearly separable by a common denominator from the remaining species still in the genera Ectobius or Phyllodromica.

Subgenera

From the start, three subgenera are defined to further group the species within the genus Planuncus, containing the species listed below (types are listed in bold):

Subgenus Planuncus
This subgenus comprises the species that might previously have been addressed as the tingitanus-group of the genus Ectobius, including the recently described Ectobius vinzi. Formal classification of the species in this group awaits further research and some or all may or may not prove to be synonymous in the near future. For the time being the species group (or subgenus for that matter) might also be addressed as Planuncus tingitanus s.l..

All species in the subgenus had previously been classified in the genus Ectobius:
 Planuncus (Planuncus) tingitanus (Bolivar, 1914)  (org. Ectobius perspicillaris tingitanus)
 Planuncus (Planuncus) finoti (Chopard, 1943)  (org. Ectobius finoti)
 Planuncus (Planuncus) vinzi (Maurel, 2012)  (org. Ectobius vinzi)

Subgenus Margundatus

This is basically the baetica-group of the genus Phyllodromica as had been previously formalized by Bohn (1992), but now classified under Planuncus to better reflect the affinities to other species.

All species in this subgenus had previously been classified in the genus Phyllodromica:
 Planuncus (Margundatus) baeticus (Bolivar, 1884)  (org. Aphlebia baetica)
 Planuncus (Margundatus) agenjoi (Harz, 1971)  (org. Phyllodromica agenjoi)
 Planuncus (Margundatus) erythrurus (Bohn, 1992)  (org. Phyllodromica erythrura)
 Planuncus (Margundatus) intermedius (Bohn, 1992)  (org. Phyllodromica intermedia)
 Planuncus (Margundatus) krausei (Bohn, 1992)  (org. Phyllodromica krausei)
 Planuncus (Margundatus) maculosus (Bohn, 1992)  (org. Phyllodromica maculosa)
 Planuncus (Margundatus) paludicolus (Bohn, 1992)  (org. Phyllodromica paludicola)
 Planuncus (Margundatus) princisi (Fernandes, 1962)  (org. Phyllodromica princisi)
 Planuncus (Margundatus) striolatus (Bohn, 1992)  (org. Phyllodromica striolata)

Subgenus Margintorus
This, at its inception, monotypic subgenus accommodates the single species previously known as Ectobius nicaeensis:
 Planuncus (Margintorus) nicaeensis (Brisout de Barneville, 1852)  (org. Blatta nicaeensis)

title: Alice Pollock

text:
Alice Pollock (born 1942) is a British fashion designer and retailer who founded the boutique Quorum, which featured the work of fellow designers Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell, and later started the male modelling agency English Boy in London.

Quorum
Pollock founded Quorum in 1964 with the textile designer Celia Birtwell. Her first backer was the theatre producer Michael White, whose wife, the former model Sarah Hillsdon, designed for Quorum until her pregnancy. It was Pollock's second backer, a stockbroker called Michael Armitage, who introduced her to Ossie Clark at his RCA show. This led to the Clark/Pollock design partnership at Quorum where the fashion become more subtle, as the mini was replaced by the midi and maxi hemlines.

Clark has been credited with opening the Quorum boutique with Pollock and he was designing clothes whilst he was still at the Royal College of Art.

Quorum provided a shop window for the work of many young designers, and began featuring Clark's work in 1965. Other Quorum designers included Michael Rainey (before he launched his own boutique Hung On You in winter 1965), Sheridan Barnett, who later launched label Barnett and Brown with Sheilagh Brown and the textile designer Frances Ronaldson, who went on to marry Pollock's ex-husband, Nick Pollock. Pollock designed for the label into the 1970s. She and Clark parted ways in 1973 and Clark and Birtwell's marriage ended the following year.

Quorum'''s fashion shows were known for their opulence and were popular with celebrities including the Beatles and David Hockney. Radley Gowns purchased the boutique in 1969.

English Boy
In 1966, Pollock and Sir Mark Palmer founded the early male modelling agency English Boy'' in Chelsea, London, with Palmer as manager. Palmer declared that the agency's aim was "to change the image of British manhood and put the boy, as opposed to the girl, on the magazine cover in the future."

The agency was initially run by Jose Maria Fonseca before she joined forces with April Ducksbury to found their own successful agency, Models 1, in 1968.

Google Public Alerts was an online notification service owned by Google.org that sends safety alerts (weather watches, warnings, advisories, safety instructions, etc.) and launched to the United States, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil on October 30, 2012, and to the Philippines on November 12, 2014. It is part of the Google Crisis Response team and publishes content from its partners of each country. If you activate Google Now, you can see suitable weather and public safety on Google Search and Google Maps.

On June 3, 2014, Public Alerts connected with Twitter to display tweets about the current event to keep people safe via special sources. Google called it "extreme public alerts" because it can answer questions, such as whether schools are closed. Google says "it's only enabled in majorly English-speaking countries".

Google Public Alerts was discontinued by Google.org on March 31, 2021, though the functionality will be available on other Google services such as Google Search and Google Maps.

The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing For A Children's Series was an Emmy award honoring direction in children's television programming. Since 1979, direction in children's series and specials competed in the same category. However, by the nineties, separate categories were created for the two mediums. In November 2021, it was announced that all Daytime Emmy categories honoring children's programming will be retired in favor of a separate Children's & Family Emmy Awards ceremony that will be held starting in 2022.

title: Elbert H. Parsons Law Library

text:
The Elbert H. Parsons Law Library (also known as the May and Cooney Dry Goods Company Building) is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama.  It was built in 1913 by the May and Cooney Dry Goods company to replace their building which was destroyed by a fire in 1911.  The store occupied the building until 1931, when they went bankrupt due to the Great Depression.  J. C. Penney moved into the building in 1934 and remained until 1966, when it moved to "The Mall" on University Drive.  In 1973, it was purchased by the county and renovated to house a public law library.

The building is a three-story structure with the façade faced in white glazed terra cotta.  The street level has a large arch, decorated with a line of bay leaf clusters surrounded by alternating green and red blocks.  The inside of the arch was converted from a storefront to large glass panes with a single central entrance in the 1973 renovation.  The second and third floors each have five one-over-one sash windows, with the third floor windows slightly smaller than the second.  The building is topped with a projecting course of bay leaf garlands, a set of five colored panels in line with the windows, and a corbeled cornice with several rows of geometric designs.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The person for whom the building was ultimately named, Elbert H. Parsons (1907–1968), was a Huntsville-based judge of the Alabama Circuit Court.
