title: TKO Records

text:
TKO Records is an independent punk rock record label in Portland, Oregon. The label is primarily known for its role in the late 1990s American street punk scene and has continued its notability as a source of new releases, reissues, and archival recordings.  The OC Weekly newspaper recognized the label as "best record label" in Orange County in 2011 and its record store of the same name as "best punk-rock record store" in Orange County, 2008.

History

TKO Records was founded by Mark Rainey in 1997 in San Francisco, California. Early on the label rose to prominence with releases from the Dropkick Murphys, Lower Class Brats, Anti-Heros,  Swingin' Utters, The Templars, Pressure Point, Workin' Stiffs, U.S. Bombs, and The Forgotten. The label helped to establish a sound and aesthetic for the street punk scene in the United States that was then rising in popularity. As TKO's prominence within the punk rock scene increased, the label also began releasing records from veteran punk bands such as Cocksparrer, Angelic Upstarts, the Partisans, Slaughter and the Dogs, The Bruisers, Chelsea, The Business, The Real Kids, and Antiseen.

Eventually the label relocated to Orange County, California and from 2000 to 2005 continued building a name with notable releases from "Beach Punk" bands such as the Smut Peddlers, the Stitches, Smogtown, the Crowd and Broken Bottles while continuing to release street punk and Oi! records.

In 2007 TKO Records opened a record store in Fountain Valley, California as part of the label's ten year anniversary. The label continues to release reissues and archival recordings from seminal punk bands, such as Poison Idea, the Templars, T.S.O.L., The Meatmen, Antiseen, No For An Answer, Channel 3, and Iron Cross, as well as new recordings from Giuda,  The label's store front relocated to Huntington Beach, California in 2013 and has hosted readings from punk rock related writers, such as Tesco Vee, Jack Grisham, Alice Bag, Chris D. and Legs McNeil, as well live performances from artists including Deniz Tek, Chuck Dukowski, Scott Weinrich, Joe Keithley and Channel 3. The store specializes in rare, out of print records, as well as new releases from punk, hardcore, garage, reggae, ska, rock, and metal bands.

In the Fall of 2014, the label relocated to Portland, Oregon.

After being sold to new owners in 2016, the TKO Records record store in Huntington Beach, CA closed in January 2020.

Mark Rainey has also co-run the imprint record label Flat Records, along with Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys. Flat's releases have included records from Agnostic Front and Blood For Blood.

title: Ampliotrema cocosense

text:
Ampliotrema cocosense is a little-known species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Cocos Island, Costa Rica, it was described as new to science in 2011. Its distinctive features include its large,  ascospores and a notable chemical composition.

Taxonomy

Ampliotrema cocosense, was formally described as new species described by lichenologists Robert Lücking and José Luis Chaves  The species epithet of this lichen is derived from its type locality, which is Cocos Island. The type specimen was collected in April 1992 on a trail above the ranger station in Cocos Island National Park, located in Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

Description

Ampliotrema cocosense has a grey-olive-yellow thallus with a  texture and a dense  cortex. The  and/or medulla contain clusters of calcium oxalate crystals. The apothecia are sessile and rounded, measuring 1–2 mm in diameter, with a brown-black  that is partially covered by a 0.3–0.6 mm wide pore. The disc also exhibits a yellow-to-orange . The margin is entire, fused, and yellowish-white, covered by a thalline layer.

The species lacks a  and . The hymenium has a height of 150–200 μm and is  with apically branched . The ascospores are 80–100 by 17–22 μm in size, oblong, colourless, and I+ (violet-blue) when treated with iodine (indicating an amyloid reaction). They are richly  with thick septa and rounded . The secondary chemistry of this species includes protocetraric and virensic acids along with structurally related compounds, and the thallus (medulla) has C−, K−, and P+ (orange-red) reactions to standard chemical spot tests.

The lichen is most closely related to A. lepadinoides, which has similarly sized , but much narrower with transverse septa only. Ampliotrema cocosense can be distinguished from other Ocellularia species with large muriform ascospores by its unique combination of a wide pore, absence of a columella, paraplectenchymatous , inspersed hymenium, and protocetraric acid as its main secondary substance.

Habitat and distribution

Ampliotrema cocosense is known from a single, well-developed collection found in the lower montane rainforest of Cocos Island. The island's lichen diversity is not well-documented, particularly for non-foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) species. The discovery of this new species indicates that Cocos Island may harbour a unique lichen biota for certain groups of lichens. Most of the island's lichen flora represents pantropical species, with A. cocosense as the sole endemic representative.

title: The Creatures (Australian band)

text:
The Creatures were a garage rock band which formed in Mildura, Australia in 1965 as The Beagle Boys. They changed their name in February 1966 and relocated to Sydney where they were active during the mid- to late 1960s. The line-up included three Marcic brothers: Eric on guitar, Herman on bass guitar, and Rudolph on drums; together with Keith Matcham on lead vocals and Michael Parnis on rhythm guitar.

Australian music journalist, Glenn A. Baker, described their appearance: "at a time when moderate long hair was becoming acceptable, [they] dyed their tatty locks to bilious pastel shades and invited the media to react with appropriate horror". The group were billed as "the wildest, longest, coloured hair group in Australia, and 'Australia's answer to the Rolling Stones'". Richard White had replaced Parnis before the first single, "All I Do Is Cry" (1966), appeared. Hair colours were: red for Eric, blue for Herman, green for Rudolph, purple for Matcham, and pink for White.

The Creatures were known for their hard-driving 60's punk and protopunk sound, as typified by their singles, "All I Do Is Cry" (1966) and "Ugly Thing" (1967). Greg Lawrie replaced Eric on lead guitar prior to the second single. As Lawrie had "very short brown hair", he was given a red wig to wear, but during one performance "his wig came off! ... he put it back on and it was the wrong way, and he couldn’t see what he was doing." By December 1967 they had relocated to Melbourne and were renamed as Chocolate, where they issued another single, "I'm an Animal" (1969).

After the group disbanded, Lawrie joined Carson County Band in January of the following year. Herman played in Toby Jugg, alongside Garth Porter (later in Sherbet). In 1998 Kustom 65 record label issued a compilation album, It's a Kave-in!, with The Creatures' "All I Do Is Cry". The same track was covered by Shutdown 66 for the tribute album, Wild About You!, recorded live-in-the-studio by radio station, 3CR's Cara Beltrame in 2004.

title: Lucas Sullivant

text:
Lucas Sullivant (September 22, 1765 – August 28, 1823), was the founder of Franklinton, Ohio, the first American settlement near the Scioto River in central Ohio.

Biography
Lucas Sullivant was of Irish descent; the original family name was of the ancient surname Ó Súilleabháin of southwestern Ireland.

In 1795 Lucas Sullivant was employed by the Commonwealth of Virginia to survey the Central Ohio portion of the Virginia Military District. Sullivant, along with approximately 20 men surveyed the western side of the Scioto River at the confluence of the Olentangy and Scioto Rivers. As payment for his work, Sullivant was given 6000 acres.
Sullivant, after surveying the land, returned to Kentucky where he courted Sarah Starling, the daughter of his mentor Colonel William Starling. In 1797, Sullivant returned to the Ohio and laid out a village of 220 lots in Franklin County, which he named Franklinton in honor of the recently deceased Benjamin Franklin.  This original settlement was abandoned a year later in 1798 when a flood submerged most of the town. Sullivant relocated the town less than a mile away, off of the banks of the Scioto River.  He also served as the first Recorder of Franklin County, Ohio from 1804 to 1807.

The replatted town was laid out in blocks that contained four lots in a square, with each lot measuring 99’ wide by 115’ deep. To encourage people to move to the new settlement, Sullivant offered free land for anyone willing to build a house along Gift Street, near the eastern edge of his plat. Along with platting and settling the town, Sullivant also built several structures out of brick and glass from Philadelphia. These buildings included a courthouse, a brick home to impress Starling (who was wed to Sullivant in 1801), a brick church and the first bridge across the Scioto River.

Personal life
Lucas Sullivant married Sarah Starling, the daughter of Sullivant's mentor.  They had four children, William Starling, Michael, Joseph, and Sarah Ann.  Lucas died on August 28, 1823, and was buried at the Old Franklinton Cemetery. He was later reburied at Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio.

title: Calodactylodes illingworthorum

text:
Calodactylodes illingworthorum is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is known only from the island of Sri Lanka. Common names for C. illingworthorum include the golden gecko, Illingworths' gecko, Illingworths' golden gecko, and the Sri Lankan golden gecko.

Etymology
The specific name, illingworthorum, which is genitive plural, is in honor of Margaret and Percy Illingworth.

Habitat and geographic range
A large, rock-dwelling gecko from the dry zone of Sri Lanka, C. illingworthorum is distributed in the monsoon forests of the eastern parts of the country, such as Namadagala, Monaragala, Nilgala, Gal Oya National Park, Buttala, and Ampara.

Description
The head of C. illingworthorum is wider than the body. The pupil of the eye is vertical. There are two pairs of enlarged, nearly rectangular lamellae under each finger and toe. The tail has 27 segments. The dorsum is a yellow-ochre color with dark brown spots. The throat is either bright yellow or orange. The chest and venter are pale gray or yellow. There are 4 pre-anal pores and 4 to 10 femoral pores.

Ecology and diet
C. illingworthorum inhabits rocky biotopes, such as granitic caves within savannah and monsoon forests. A single cave may house up to 50 individuals. Its diet comprises large insects, such as dipterans, coleopterans, their larvae, glow-worms, and other arthropods. Its call uttered throughout the day, and more commonly at dusk, is a harsh, chuckling note. It leaves its rock habitat by dusk to the adjoining vegetation for foraging and returns in the morning.

Reproduction
C. illingworthorum is oviparous. Eggs, measuring , are produced at communal nesting sites, glued to rock surfaces. Over 100 eggs are produced at a time. Each hatchling measures  in total length (including the tail).

title: Atlantic City algorithm

text:
Atlantic City algorithm is a probabilistic polynomial time algorithm that answers correctly at least 75% of the time (or, in some versions, some other value greater than 50%). The term "Atlantic City" was first introduced in 1982 by J. Finn in an unpublished manuscript entitled Comparison of probabilistic tests for primality.

Two other common classes of probabilistic algorithms are Monte Carlo algorithms and Las Vegas algorithms. Monte Carlo algorithms are always fast, but only probably correct. On the other hand, Las Vegas algorithms are always correct, but only probably fast. The Atlantic City algorithms, which are bounded probabilistic polynomial time algorithms are probably correct and probably fast.

Hortobágy is a village in Hajdú-Bihar County in eastern Hungary. It lies on the banks of the  river, which is crossed at Hortobágy by the Nine-arched Bridge, one of the principal man-made monuments of the Hortobágy National Park. The park consists mainly of the remaining areas of Hungarian puszta.

2016 explosive incident
On 1 July 2016, 4 demolition experts of the Hungarian Defence Force were killed and another seriously injured while attempting to detonate a 250 kilogram Russian-made fragmentation bomb manufactured shortly after WW2. The incident took place at a firing range within the Hortobágy National Park. The firing range covers 4,000 hectares (about 9,800 acres) and has been used for practice by the Hungarian armed forces for decades. It was reported that the detonator had already been removed when the explosion occurred.  The remote and sparsely populated area was used as a shooting range by the Hungarian Army for decades following World War II. The soldiers will be honored with the Hazáért Érdemjel medal.

title: Renu Chakravartty

text:
Renu Chakravartty (1917-1994) was a leader of Communist Party of India, noted parliamentarian and educationist.

Early life
Born in a well-off Brahmo family to Sadhan Chandra and Brahmakumari Roy, at Kolkata on 21 October 1917, she was educated at Loreto House and Victoria Institution in Kolkata and Newnham College, Cambridge. After her graduation with honours at Kolkata, she acquired a tripos in English Literature at Cambridge.

A niece of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, she was inspired to take interest in political affairs by him. In 1938, she came in contact with Rajani Palme Dutt, the notable British communist, and joined the Communist Party of Great Britain. On return to India, the same year, she secured membership of the illegal Communist Party of India and plunged into active left politics.

Marriage and politics
She married eminent journalist, Nikhil Chakravartty, in 1942. In the early forties she taught English Literature in the University of Calcutta. Along with Rani Mitra Dasgupta and Manikuntala Sen she played an important role in the formation of Mahila Atma Raksha Samiti. It later played a part in the Tebhaga movement. For the support of destitute women she was involved, along with her mother,  in the Nari Seva Sangha. In 1948, when the Communist Party of India was declared illegal, she went into hiding.

She was elected to the Lok Sabha from Basirhat in 1952 and 1957, and from Barrackpore in 1962. After CPI split in 1964, she decided to remain with the older organisation, and in two successive elections in 1967 and 1971 she was defeated from the same constituency by Md. Ismail of Communist Party of India (Marxist).

Gopalkrishna Gandhi has summed up very succinctly, the era in which Renu Chakravartty served in the Indian Parliament: "The early Lok Sabhas and Rajya Sabhas more than rose to the standards of "daily assessment" set by Dr. Ambedkar, especially in MPs' stellar debating contributions. The lyrically thoughtful Nehru was matched by the rasping Kripalani. The Houses were well-served by the laser-eyed Feroze Gandhi, the fiery Bhupesh Gupta, the impassioned Hiren Mukherjee, the sedate Lakshmi Menon, the thermal Violet Alva, the acerbic Rammanohar Lohia, the excoriating Barrister Nath Pai, the striking Renu Chakravartty, the diligent Minoo Masani, the startling C.N. Annadurai, and, of course, the poetic Atal Bihari Vajpayee."

In around four decades of political life she was active in the workers' movement, organised many strikes and was sent to jail on numerous occasions. She was a vibrant contributor to the women's movement.  She was on the executive committees of many organisations.

title: Teófila Martínez

text:
María Teófila Martínez Saiz (born 1948) is a Spanish politician. She was the mayor of Cádiz, Andalusia, from 1995 to 2015.

Martínez is a member of the People's Party and member of the Congress of Deputies of Spain since the 80's.

Career
An architect by profession, Martínez was elected as provincial secretary-general of the Popular Alliance of Cadiz in December 1982. From 1983 to 1987 she was a councilor of El Puerto de Santa María. She has been mayor of Cadiz since 1995, and the most voted mayor of the provincial capitals of Spain in the municipal elections of 2003 and 2007 with about 60 % of the vote. With the municipal elections of 2011 validates winning for the fifth time by an absolute majority.

She has been a Member of the House of Representatives since 1989 (except for the period 2000 to 2008 when she was in the Andalusian parliament as senator for two consecutive terms). She presided over the People's Party of Andalusia from 1999 to 2004 and served as its spokeswoman at the Commission of Public Works of the Congress of Deputies and Commissions Coordinator of the Popular Party in Congress.

During her tenure as mayor, she authorized the dig of the railway passing through Cadiz, the upkeep of city's emblematic buildings, the development of idle shipyards, as well as the start of construction of the second bridge and conducting of Bicentennial of the Cortes of Cadiz, year in which commemorated the hundred years of the Constitution of Cadiz in 1812, the first Spanish constitution. Cadiz became in 2012 a Latin American Capital of Culture and hosted the 22nd Ibero-American Summit.

In early 2013, Teofila Martinez presented the proposal to boost the creation of the logistics platform in Southern Europe in the province of Cadiz, located between three continents (Europe, Africa and America) and located in a strategic axis of communication as is the Strait of Gibraltar. This proposal was supported by the Government of the nation, embodied with the presentation in the city of Cadiz in November 2013 national logistics strategy.

Martínez was criticized by social networks when on 23 August 2013 she spoke to the press complaining about the views of users of social networks on the Spanish politicians and explaining her dismay at people asking social aid in the City argued that "there are people asking to eat and having a Twitter is costing them money". Social networks argued, among other things, that two years ago she suggested to install WiFi free zones on several streets and squares of the city. On 13 September 2013 she apologized for her remarks saying that she recognizes that technology knows "the right thing" and argued that is not required to know the language of the new technologies.

Following the 2015 Spanish local elections, Martínez was replaced by José María González Santos.

In 2017, the Cadiz City Council had filed an investigation quarry against Martínez for her mishandling of funds directed at  in 2009, which resulted City Council to lose .

On 20 September 2021, Martínez, along with  had attended a conference at the Port of Cadiz Bay.

title: Anomomorpha lecanorina

text:
Anomomorpha lecanorina is a rare species of script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in southern Ecuador, where it grows in montane forests at altitudes of , it was described as new to science in 2011. The specific epithet lecanorina denotes the resemblance of its fruit bodies to those of the genus Lecanora.

Taxonomy
Anomomorpha lecanorina was first scientifically described by Dutch lichenologist Harrie Sipman as a new species in 2011. The epithet lecanorina was chosen to reflect the resemblance of the ascocarps to the genus Lecanora, which is an unusual occurrence for the family Graphidaceae. The type specimen was found in the Estación Científica San Francisco nature reserve in Zamora-Chinchipe Province, Ecuador.

Description
Anomomorpha lecanorina forms large, pale grey crustose patches, with a smooth upper surface that is delimited by a dark brown prothallus line. The ascomata are rounded, 1–3 mm wide, and have a distinct  margin. The  are hyaline, somewhat , with 4 by 1–2 , and measure 10–15 by 7 μm. A key distinguishing feature is the iodine (I)-negative hymenium and I+ dark-violet, muriform spores, which are indicative of the Graphidaceae.

The lichen's secondary chemistry is also unusual, as it produces constictic acid, whereas most other Anomomorpha species have norstictic acid. No pycnidia have been observed in this species.

Habitat and distribution
Anomomorpha lecanorina was originally described from three specimens collected from the Reserva Biológica San Francisco in the province of Zamora-Chinchipe, southern Ecuador. It is found in montane primary forests at elevations of . Two of the specimens were collected in the canopy of Elaeagia obovata trees, which have a relatively acidic bark. The region where Anomomorpha lecanorina is found appears to be particularly rich in locally endemic lichens. For example, three endemic Hypotrachyna species have been reported from the same area. A. lecanorina was later reported from the Ecuadorian Andes.

title: Anomomorpha tuberculata

text:
Anomomorpha tuberculata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in rare cerrado vegetation in southern Costa Rica, it was described as new to science in 2011. It is characterised by its conspicuous  on the thallus and sessile .

Taxonomy
Anomomorpha tuberculata was first formally described by lichenologists Robert Lücking, Loengrin Umaña-Tenorio, and Susan Will-Wolf in 2011. The type specimen was collected in Costa Rica, specifically in the Cerro Biolley Section of La Amistad International Park, at an altitude between . The species epithet tuberculata refers to the prominent  on the thallus.

This lichen species is placed in the genus Anomomorpha due to its non- lirellae with strongly  hymenium and minute ascospores. However, it deviates from other species in the genus because of its sessile lirellae and the absence of secondary substances. The large tubercles formed on the thallus are also unique within the Graphidaceae, making Anomomorpha tuberculata a distinct species.

Description
The thallus of Anomomorpha tuberculata can reach up to  in diameter. Its surface is uneven and grey to pale brownish or yellowish grey, featuring numerous large tubercles. These tubercles are orbicular with a constricted base and consist of numerous , angular plates () that eventually break off to expose a soredia-like surface. A similar type of -like schizidia also occurs in the Malaysian species Myriotrema squamiferum.

Apothecia are angular-rounded to elongate and sessile, with a thick and prominent . The  is grey-brown with white , giving it a grey-pruinose appearance.  are ellipsoid, 3-septate, and colourless, measuring 7–10 by 5–6 μm.

No secondary substances have been detected in Anomomorpha tuberculata.

Habitat and distribution
Anomomorpha tuberculata has been found in the rare cerrado vegetation in the southern part of Costa Rica, specifically in La Amistad International Park. Additional specimens have been discovered in Alajuela, Costa Rica, as well as in Venezuela and Guyana.

title: 2014 Harris County shooting

text:
On July 9, 2014, a mass shooting occurred in a home located in northern Harris County, Texas, near the Spring census-designated place, a suburban area of the Greater Houston area, leaving six family members dead, four children, and a lone survivor. 34-year old Ronald Lee Haskell, was apprehended after a standoff that lasted several hours. Haskell was related to the victims via his ex-wife.

Events
Police and court documents state that Haskell arrived at the residence, 711 Leaflet Lane, dressed as a FedEx employee. The house is in the Enchanted Oaks subdivision Section 3, in an unincorporated area outside of the Spring census-designated place but with a Spring postal address. Haskell was reportedly searching for his ex-wife, the sister of the mother living in the home. The door was answered by the mother's 15-year-old daughter, who initially did not recognize him; he asked for her parents and she told him they weren't home. Haskell left, but returned a short time later and told the girl he was her ex-uncle. When she tried to close the door on him, Haskell forced his way inside, tied her up, and made her lie face-down; Haskell did the same to the other four children and their parents when they returned to the house. Haskell then reportedly shot all seven people in the back of the head "execution-style" when they wouldn't tell him where his ex-wife was. Afterwards, he fled the scene using the family's car.

Five of the victims died at the scene, while one child died shortly after arriving at a hospital. The lone survivor, the 15-year-old girl, Cassidy, who initially answered the door, was able to identify the suspect, telling responding police that the gunman was planning on going after other family members. She survived being shot by raising her hand, the bullet grazed her head and finger causing a skull fracture and damaging the tip of her finger, then "played dead".

Using Cassidy's information, police confronted the suspect at a second home; a chase ensued for twenty minutes, involving about two dozen patrol cars and eventually ending at a cul-de-sac located about three miles from the scene of the shooting, shortly before 7:00 p.m. The police managed to disable the suspect's car with a spike strip, corner him at the cul-de-sac, and block his car with two armored vehicles. The suspect held a pistol to his head and spoke to police via cellphone. Nearby homes were evacuated during the standoff. After around three hours passed, the suspect surrendered to police without further incident.

Victims
The six slain victims included 39-year-old Stephen Robert Stay; his wife, 33-year-old Katie Stay; and four of their children: Bryan, 13; Emily, 9; Rebecca, 6; and Zachary, 4. The family arrived in the Houston area in 2012 after living in California, and the husband operated a real estate business. Two of the victims were pupils at Lemm Elementary School in Enchanted Oaks, and the oldest deceased child attended Schindewolf Intermediate School in Harris County.

The sole survivor was 15-year-old Cassidy Stay, a student at Klein Collins High School, who was able to phone police and inform them that Haskell was planning to attack her grandparents next. She was released from the hospital on July 11.

Cassidy Stay's survival of the shooting and her participation in Haskell's apprehension have earned her praise from the public. An online fundraiser campaign for her on GoFundMe received more than 16,000 participants and over $406,000 in donations.

Perpetrator

Ronald Lee Haskell Jr. (born August 26, 1980) was identified by police as the sole suspect in the shooting. He was raised in San Marcos, California, and also lived in Eagle River, Alaska, until 2004. In Alaska, he attended Chugiak High School, graduating in 1999. He had been voted as the class clown and king for both prom and homecoming. He worked as a parcel delivery driver for an independent service that had a contract with FedEx, but he stopped working for the company in January, according to a spokesperson. He married Melannie Kaye Lyon on March 15, 2002, in Orange County, California. He moved to Logan, Utah, where he lived from July 2006 to November 2013, mostly with his then-wife. Melannie Lyon later divorced him on February 14, 2014, and moved to Houston with the help of her sister, Katie Stay, who was one of the victims. Previously, the Stays were familiar with the Haskells, since both families belonged to a tight-knit church community in southern California.

Haskell had previously faced domestic assault charges and had a protective order put against him by his wife before they divorced. In June 2008, Haskell was charged with suspicion of domestic violence, simple assault, and committing an act of violence in front of children, after reportedly dragging his wife out of bed by the hair and hitting her on the side of her head. Haskell said he had only pushed his wife. He later pleaded guilty to the simple assault charge, and not guilty to the domestic violence charge; the charges were later dismissed after a plea deal was reached. On July 8, 2013, a protective order was filed by Melannie Lyon and served the following day. Melannie Lyon filed for divorce in August. The protective order was later dismissed in October 2013 when the Haskells agreed to a mutual restraining order in the divorce and custody arrangements involving their four children, with Melannie Lyon gaining primary custody. He had been living with his parents in San Marcos, California, since the divorce; police later stated that Haskell was found holding a California driver's license.

On July 2, 2014, over a week prior to the shooting, Haskell's mother, Karla Jeanne Haskell, told San Marcos police that she wanted a restraining order against her son after having "a ferocious argument" with him, during which he reportedly forced her into the garage, tied her wrists with duct tape, taped her to a computer chair for almost four hours, and threatened to kill her and his entire family. The incident was allegedly sparked when Karla Haskell told him that she was in contact with his ex-wife. Deputies investigating the incident searched for Haskell but were unable to find him. They would later learn that Haskell had been arrested in Texas for the shooting.

Legal proceedings
On the morning of July 10, 2014, Haskell was charged with six counts of capital murder, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. He was held without bond, and made his first court appearance on July 11. In court, as the charges against him were read, he began shaking and later collapsed for reasons that are still unclear. When deputies lifted him to his feet, Haskell stood for a minute, then collapsed again. As a result, he had to be removed from the courtroom in a wheelchair. He made reappearances in court on September 30 and  December 2, 2014 and January 21, 2015.

On August 26, 2016, Haskell was expected back in court. and was then expected to stand trial in the fall of 2017, and face the death penalty. Haskell's trial commenced in August 2019.

On September 26 of that year, Haskell was found guilty of capital murder and was sentenced to death by lethal injection on October 11. He is currently on death row at the Allan B. Polunsky Unit near Livingston, awaiting execution.

Aftermath
The funeral for the deceased was held at the Hafer Road chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and a memorial service was held at Lemm Elementary, both in July 2014.

title: Lepraria sekikaica

text:
Lepraria sekikaica is a species of leprose (powdery) lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. Found in Western Australia, it was formally described as a new species by lichenologist John Elix. It was one of 100 new lichen species published in a single article, helping to highlight the extent of undiscovered global biodiversity. The type specimen was collected by the author in the Boyagin Rock Nature Reserve. It is known from several locations in Western Australia, where it grows on the ground under sheltered rock ledges. The lichen products made by Lepraria sekikaica include atranorin, homosekikaic acid, 4'-O-demethylsekikaic acid, and fragilin as minor products, and sekikaic acid as a major metabolite. The specific epithet refers to the latter compound; Lepraria sekikaica is the first known in genus Lepraria to contain this substance.

title: Bruce Pascoe

text:
Bruce Pascoe (born 1947) is an Australian writer of literary fiction, non-fiction, poetry, essays and children's literature. As well as his own name, Pascoe has written under the pen names Murray Gray and Leopold Glass. Pascoe identifies as Aboriginal. Since August 2020, he has been Enterprise Professor in Indigenous Agriculture at the University of Melbourne.

Pascoe is best known for his work Dark Emu: Black Seeds: Agriculture or Accident? (2014), in which he argues that traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples engaged in agriculture, engineering and permanent building construction, and that their practices provide possible models for future sustainable development in Australia.

Early life and education
Pascoe was born in Richmond, Victoria in 1947.  He grew up in a poor working-class family; his father, Alf, was a carpenter, and his mother, Gloria Pascoe, went on to win a gold medal in lawn bowls at the 1980 Arnhem Paralympics.  Pascoe spent his early years on King Island where his father worked at the tungsten mine. His family moved to Mornington, Victoria, when he was 10 years old, and then two years later moved to the Melbourne suburb of Fawkner. He attended the local state school before completing his secondary education at University High School, where his sister had won an academic scholarship. Pascoe went on to attend the University of Melbourne, initially studying commerce but then transferring to Melbourne State College. After graduating with a Bachelor of Education, he was posted to a small township near Shepparton. He later taught at Bairnsdale for nine years.

Career
While on leave from his teaching career, Pascoe bought a  mixed farming property and occasionally worked as an abalone fisherman. In his spare time he began writing short stories, poetry and newspaper articles.

In 1982 he moved back to Melbourne and sought to publish a journal of short stories. He came into conflict with existing publishers and instead decided to form his own company, raising 10,000 in capital with his friend Lorraine Phelan.  He ran Pascoe Publishing and Seaglass Books with his wife, Lyn Harwood.

From 1982 to 1998 Pascoe edited and published a new quarterly magazine of short fiction, Australian Short Stories, which published all forms of short stories by both established and new writers, including Helen Garner, Gillian Mears and Tim Winton. The first issue came close to selling out its initial print run of 20,000.

The main character in his 1988 novel Fox is a fugitive, searching for his Aboriginal identity and home. The book deals with issues such as Aboriginal deaths in custody, discrimination and land rights, as well as blending Aboriginal traditions with contemporary life and education.

Convincing Ground: Learning to Fall in Love with Your Country (2007), whose title is drawn from the Convincing Ground massacre, examines historical documents and eyewitness accounts of incidents in Australian history and ties them in with the "ongoing debates about identity, dispossession, memory and community". It is described in the publisher's blurb as a book "for all Australians, as an antidote to the great Australian inability to deal respectfully with the nation's constructed Indigenous past".

Pascoe featured in the award-winning documentary series which aired on SBS Television in 2008, First Australians, has been Director of Commonwealth Australian Studies project for the Commonwealth Schools Commission, and has worked extensively on preserving the Wathaurong language, producing a dictionary of the language.

Fog a Dox, a story for young adults, won the Prime Minister's Literary Awards in 2013 and was shortlisted for the 2013 Western Australian Premier's Book Awards (Young Adult category) and the 2013 Deadly Awards (Published Book of the Year category). Judges for the PM's Award commented that "The author's Aboriginality shines through but he wears it lightly...", in a story which incorporates Indigenous cultural knowledge.

Dark Emu (2014)
Dark Emu: Black Seeds: Agriculture or Accident?, first published in 2014, challenges the claim that pre-colonial Australian Aboriginal peoples were only hunter-gatherers. Pascoe argues that his examination of early settler accounts and other sources provides evidence of agriculture, aquaculture, engineering and villages of permanent housing in traditional Aboriginal societies. The book won Book of the Year at the NSW Premier's Literary Awards, and was widely praised for popularising past research on the sophistication of Aboriginal economies. The book also attracted controversy. A favourable review of its cultural implications in the academic online magazine  The Conversation touched off a debate there about Pascoe's use of his historical sources. A second edition, entitled Dark Emu: Aboriginal Australia and the Birth of Agriculture was published in mid-2018, and a version of the book for younger readers, entitled Young Dark Emu: A Truer History, was published in 2019. The 2019 version was shortlisted for the 2020 Adelaide Festival Awards for Literature in the Children's Literature Award section.

The success of Dark Emu and Young Dark Emu prompted a book-length critique by Peter Sutton and Keryn Walshe who argue that Pascoe selectively quotes sources and misinterprets archaeological and anthropological evidence to draw conclusions which give a misleading view of  Aboriginal societies.

In October 2019 it was announced that a documentary film of Dark Emu would be made for television by Blackfella Films, co-written by Pascoe with Jacob Hickey, directed by Erica Glynn and produced by Darren Dale and Belinda Mravicic.

Later work and other roles
In September 2015, in a collaboration with Poets House in New York, a recording of six First Nations Australia Writers Network members reading their work was presented at a special event, which was recorded. Pascoe was one of the readers, along with Jeanine Leane, Dub Leffler, Melissa Lucashenko,  Jared Thomas and Ellen van Neerven.

Pascoe was appointed  Enterprise Professor in Indigenous Agriculture at the University of Melbourne in September 2020, in a role "within the School of Agriculture and Food,... designed to build knowledge and understanding of Indigenous agriculture within the Faculty and to grow engagement and research activities in this area".

Pascoe is a Country Fire Authority volunteer. He battled the 2019–20 bushfires near Mallacoota. In January 2020, he went to New South Wales to help out there, before returning to Mallacoota. He cancelled his scheduled appearances at a Perth Festival event in February and at the Adelaide Writers' Week in March, to remain in East Gippsland to assess the damage done to his Mallacoota property, and to assist his community in the recovery effort in the aftermath of the bushfires.

Aboriginal identity
Pascoe states that in his early thirties he found Aboriginal ancestors on both sides of his family, including from Tasmania (Palawa), from the Bunurong people of the Kulin nation of Victoria, and the Yuin of southern New South Wales. He identified himself as Koori by the age of 40. He acknowledges his Cornish and European colonial ancestry  but says that he feels Aboriginal, writing, "It doesn’t matter about the colour of your skin, it's about how deeply embedded you are in the culture. It's the pulse of my life". He said that his family denied their own Aboriginality for a long time, and it was only when he investigated the "glaring absences" in the family's story that he was drawn into Aboriginal society and culture.

In Convincing Ground (2007), Pascoe wrote about the dangers of "people of broken and distant heritage like me...barging into their rediscovered community expecting to be greeted like the Prodigal Son", saying that those who have grown up without awareness of their Aboriginality cannot have experienced racism, being removed from family or other disadvantages, and cannot "fully understand what it is to be Aboriginal. You've lost contact with your identity and in quite profound areas it can never be reclaimed." He says that some branches of family trees and public records have often been "pruned of a few branches". In this book and in interviews, Pascoe admits that his Aboriginal ancestry is distant, and that he is "more Cornish than Koori".

Following columnist Andrew Bolt's breach of the Racial Discrimination Act in 2011 relating to comments about fair-skinned Aboriginal people, Pascoe suggested that he and Bolt could "have a yarn" together, without rancour, because "I think it's reasonable for Australia to know if people of pale skin identifying as Aborigines are fair dinkum". He described how and why his Aboriginal ancestry – and that of many others – had been buried, and that the full explanation would be very long and involved.

In January 2020, Pascoe said that he believed that allegations that he is not Aboriginal are motivated by wanting to discredit Dark Emu. He had already responded to the Boonwurrung Land and Sea Council's rejection of his connection to the Bunurong, saying that his connection was through the Tasmanian family, not through Central Victorian Bunurong. A few days later, the chairman of the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania, Michael Mansell, stated that he does not believe that Pascoe has Indigenous ancestry, and he should stop claiming he does. However, Mansell acknowledged that some Indigenous leaders including Marcia Langton and Ken Wyatt supported Pascoe’s Aboriginality based on his claim to community recognition.

In 2021, Nyunggai Warren Mundine, stated that genealogists "have produced research that all Pascoe’s ancestry can be traced to England. Pascoe has not addressed this and has been persistently vague about who his Aboriginal ancestors are and where they came from." Historian Geoffrey Blainey stated that "it is now known that [Pascoe's] four grandparents were of English descent".

Relación breve de la conquista de la Nueva España () is the account of friar Francisco de Aguilar, who in his youth took part in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire as a conquistador under the command of Hernán Cortés.

According to the introduction by the author, the account was written after Aguilar had joined the Dominican Order, at a time in which he would have been more than 80 years old, between 1559 and 1571. Following the death of Francisco de Aguilar, the manuscript came into the possession of the Viceroyalty of New Spain and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico Pedro Moya de Contreras, who then gave it to Philip II of Spain. Since then, the Relación breve de la conquista de la Nueva España has been held along with other 16th century manuscripts in the library of the Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. The manuscript survived a fire in the library that occurred on 7 June 1671.

Publication History
In 1892, the Mexican historian Francisco del Paso y Troncoso, managed to obtain a copy of “Relación breve de la conquista de la Nueva España”. This same copy was then used by fellow Mexican historian Luis González Obregón, who included it in his Anales del Museo nacional de México, t. VIII (1ª. época ), entrega 1ª.,, under the title Historia de la Nueva España (), in June 1900.

The text was modernized by Alfonso Teja Zabre, and released under the title Historia de la Nueva España, in November 1937. The editor refers to Francisco de Aguilar as Alonso de Aguilar; because according to Mexican historian José Luis Martínez, Aguilar changed his name when he joined the Dominican Order. This edition was republished in 1938 by the publisher Botas. En 1943, the publisher Vargas Rea again republished the work, this time under the title Relato breve de la conquista de la Nueva España .

In 1954 Federico Gómez de Orozco headed the publication of a new edition featuring an essay by Father Mariano Gutiérrez and a biography of the author written by Agustín Dávila Padilla. The edition was published under the title Relación breve de la conquista de la Nueva España, escrita por fray Francisco de Aguilar, de la orden de predicadores () by the publisher José Porrúa e hijos.

In 1963, the edition by Gómez de Orozco was translated into English and published by Orion Press under the title The Chronicle of Fray Francisco de Aguilar, with a preface by Howard D. Cline.

In 1977, Jorge Gurría Lacroix included a facsimile of the original manuscript, the introductions of past editions, and a preliminary academic study, under the name Relación breve de la conquista de la Nueva España, in the collection Serie de historiadores y cronistas de Indias no.7, National Autonomous University of Mexico.

In 2002, Germán Vázquez Chamorro, released a compilation entitled Conquista de Tenochtitlan (), which includes “Relación breve de la conquista de la Nueva España”.

title: Swiss labour law

text:
The Swiss labor law covers all standards governing the employment of some kind. The regulation of the employment by private employers is largely harmonized at the federal level, while public-sector employment still prevails a variety of cantonal laws. In particular, the civil standardization is distributed to a variety of laws. Of greater importance, particularly the new Federal Constitution of 1999, the Code of Obligations, the Labour Code as well as in the public sector, the Federal Personnel Act.

Legal sources
The following laws define the conditions under which people in Switzerland may be employed:

The new Swiss Federal Constitution regulates some normative principles and the skills of the individual authorities, namely the competence of the Confederation and the cantons.
Fundamentally, the individual labor contract law, is written down in the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR). Basically is bases on the agreement between employers and employees. However, a number of basic legal norms (necessary norms) must be respected, and have precedence in case of dispute. The collective labor agreement for its part, is also set in its environment in the OR.
The Federal Law declaring collective agreements governs the official ways to declare collective agreements for industries and companies binding.
Also compelling public law is the labor law is that the employee-side guarantees minimum protection standards regarding working hours. Today, it is usually undercut by collective employment arrangements.
The Health Protection at Work shall not apply in Switzerland as labor law, but is treated under the accident insurance law (SUVA).
The working conditions of foreign workers (ISVA minimum standards in employment contracts) are posted only for individual projects / assignments in Switzerland. It is mainly wage and social dumping preventio.
The federal law against undeclared work to prevent this regard abuses by employers 'and workers' side.
If the State is the employer, the primary provisions of public law must be observed. The private law rules are only a subsidiary or analog-applied law. Since the cantons in the arrangement of their administrative law are largely autonomous, all cantons have their own regulations for public employment. At the federal level, the Federal Personnel Act (BPG) in particular  and as far as liability issues are concerned to note the Government Liability Act (VG).
The Gender Equality Act (GEA) prohibits any form of discrimination between women and men

title: Jalaun State

text:
Jalaun State was a Maratha princely state in the Bundelkhand region. It was centered on Jalaun, in present-day Jalaun district, Uttar Pradesh. The town was the capital of the state from 1806 to 1840. The last Raja died without issue and Jalaun State was subsequently annexed by the East India Company.

History
Originally a part of the Maratha Empire, it was later that the British occupied the area in 1803 and Jalaun state became a British protectorate in 1806.
Many of the inhabitants were Maharashtrian Brahmins, known as 'Dakhini Pandits'. Their ancestors had been at the service of the Maratha Peshwa. Govindrao II, its last ruler, died without a male issue in 1840 and the state was annexed by the British in the same year. Govind rao II daughter was married in Karwi which was a sanad satate established in 1818.

The fortified post of Kalpi, the former residence of the rulers of Jalaun State, was dismantled in 1860 and its place was taken by a market known as Baithganj. After the annexation the British authorities preferred Orai as capital of the district, claiming that Jalaun was an unhealthy place.

Rulers
All the rulers of Jalaun State were under Peshwa Government of Pune. Karkare Dynasty (also known as Hrigvediya Karkare Ballal Karhade Brahmins, basically belonged to Ratnagiri of Maharashtra were appointed by Peshwa Sawai Madhorao (II) Narayan Bhatt Ballal as local administrators in 1793 AD, under the protection of Shreenath Mahadji Shinde (also known as Madhavrao (I) Scindia, Patilbawa. Later on in 1795, jalun was placed under the assistance of Yashwant rao of Kalinjar, with whom they had marriage alliances. Yashwant Bhatt was killed in action in 1796, This Naikhai war was fought in Vindhya, which was supported by British East India Company agents. This led to Jalon being in weak position by killing of his able  commander. The Karkares tried to save Jaluan from the East India co. and thus fought against British Army during the famous Second Maratha – Anglo War. English Army won and the Maratha Army under Karkare Dynasty was killed brutally. Later on the fugitives settled in Gwalior, Banda and Jhansi. Administration of Jalaun was transferred to another Maharashtrian Brahmin family Deshastha Brahmins and bore the title "Raja".

Later on in the famous time frame of 1857, the Jalon along with Kalinjar and Jhansi Peshwai  fought one of the toughest battles in the history of 1857 mutiny. The were jaitely defeated in " Battle of Ajaygarh in 1858. 'Raja'.

title: Taribah

text:
Taribah () is a small town in Hadramaut, Yemen, about  East of the capital city of San'a. It is located  east of Seiyun and  west of Tarim, Yemen.  It consists of three or four villages, some isolated houses and a wide expanse of palm trees.

Many Hadhramis of Taribah have travelled to foreign lands in search of their fortune in life, and have died there. Despite the solitude of interment in distant lands, those who have died overseas are not forgotten in Hadhramaut. It is as if by being remembered, these sons of Taribah have in some manner been returned home.

A strange phenomenon is sometimes noticeable in Masjid Badr in the town, especially during the silent afternoon prayers of dhuhr or ‘asr. While the prayer is in progress, faint yet distinct whispers can be heard clearly, apparently coming from all directions at once. The intensity of the whispers never changes - even when one is in solitary prayer, the whispers can be heard at a constant level. And even more intriguing, the whispers are only heard when one is praying.

title: The Boat Race 1994

text:
The 140th Boat Race took place on 26 March 1994. Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames.  Cambridge won by  lengths.  The race saw the first competitors from Norway in the history of the race, in brothers Snorre and Sverke Lorgen.  It was also the first time that both competing coxes had previously won the event.

In the reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie defeated Oxford's Isis, while Cambridge won the Women's Boat Race.

Background
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  First held in 1829, the race takes place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities and followed throughout the United Kingdom and broadcast worldwide.  Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1993 race by  lengths, with Cambridge leading overall with 70 victories to Oxford's 68 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877).  The race was sponsored by Beefeater Gin for the eighth consecutive year.

The first Women's Boat Race took place in 1927, but did not become an annual fixture until the 1960s. Up until 2014, the contest was conducted as part of the Henley Boat Races, but as of the 2015 race, it is held on the River Thames, on the same day as the men's main and reserve races.  The reserve race, contested between Oxford's Isis boat and Cambridge's Goldie boat has been held since 1965.  It usually takes place on the Tideway, prior to the main Boat Race.

In preparing for the race, Cambridge had defeated crews from both Leander and Molesey. Meanwhile, Oxford lost out to London Rowing Club's lightweight crew, but narrowly defeated the University of London Boat Club.  They went on to secure victory in the Reading Head of the River race before head coach Richard Tinkler and his assistant Tim Bramfitt were removed from their positions.  Fred Smallbone was installed as finishing coach for the Dark Blues whose build-up concluded with a loss to Leander.  Cambridge were coached throughout by Harry Mahon, John Wilson and Sean Bowden.

Crews
The crews weighed-in at The Hurlingham Club five days prior to the race.  Oxford weighed an average of 14 st 7 lb (91.6 kg) per rower,  more than their opponents.  Oxford's crew featured two Norwegian brothers in Snorre and Sverke Lorgen, the first rowers from their country to participate in the Boat Race, both of whom had participated in both world championship and Olympic races.  Oxford Boat Club president Kingsley Poole referred to them as "Herdy and Gerdy".  He noted: "They've got some kind of kin thing where they can just switch on and go nuts".  Cambridge welcomed back five former Blues while Oxford saw three return in the form of Michels, Poole and Chick.

Race

Cambridge were considered to be pre-race favourites.  Oxford won the toss and elected to start from the Middlesex station.  After a poor start, which Oxford's cox Chick referred to as "a bit ropey", Cambridge took an early lead and were five seconds ahead at the Mile Post.  They extended their advantage to eight seconds by Hammersmith Bridge and sixteen by Chiswick Steps.  Poor steering from Haycock combined with determination from Oxford to stay in touch kept the Cambridge from moving too much further ahead;  the Light Blues passed the finishing post in 18 minutes and 9 seconds,  lengths and 20 seconds ahead of the Dark Blues. It was Cambridge's first back-to-back victory since 1973.  The race was umpired by former Cambridge Blue John Garrett.

In the reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie won by thirteen lengths over Isis, their seventh victory in eight years.  Cambridge won the 49th Women's Boat Race a week earlier, a  race at Henley-on-Thames, by one length in a time of 6 minutes and 11 seconds, their fifth victory in six years.

Reaction
Cambridge's boat club president Jon Bernstein said "it does not get any better than that."  The Cambridge number four, Richard Phelps, was more descriptive: "It was a bitch of a race. We never cruised."

title: Blobby Volley

text:
Blobby Volley is a free and open-source sports computer game series in which two blobbed shaped entities play volleyball against each other. There are multiplayer and single-player modes.

Game Rules

The rules used in Blobby Volley are derived from the standard volleyball rules. Unlike real volleyball, the movements of the players are limited to the two-dimensional space of the screen. The borders of the screen acts as an invisible wall which the ball bounces off, which is completely legal to use. Since there is only one player on each side of the field, it is permitted (unlike standard volleyball) for the player to touch the ball several times in a row.

The protagonists, blob like creatures without arms, can move left and right, jump and interacting with the ball by hitting it with their "head", therefore resembling a Header like gameplay.

The game ends when one of the two players reach 15 (or more) points and also there is a two-point lead over the other. Points may only be achieved by the player that serves the ball. Therefore, each of the players tries to make the other one commit a fault so they can serve and score points. A player can commit the following faults:

 The ball touches the ground in their own field
 A player touches the ball more than three times in a row (the initial serve also counts as a touch)

Features
Network games are possible in Blobby Volley where you can play against another human opponent. Locally, you can also play with another human opponent on the same system or against the AI. Blobby Volley allows you to configure keyboard and mouse controls, the colors of the blobs and the background image. Blobby Volley is available in three languages (German, English and French) and also gives an insight into a history of game statistics (wins, losses).

There are community made mods available for the game. For instance Quick Game which is a modification for Blobby Volley which speeds up the game and reduces the winning number of points to 10.

History
Blobby Volley was originally written in Delphi by Daniel Skoraszewsky with graphics by Silvio Mummert. Version 1.0 was released in November 2000 on the authors' homepage as Freeware for PCs with Windows. Development ended around 2005 with version 1.8.

Blobby Volley 2

Started in 2007 on SourceForge under the GPLv2 license, Blobby Volley 2 is the official continuation written by new programmers and based on the original assets. The continuation is programmed in C++ (gcc) instead of Delphi. This new version uses OpenGL/SDL for rendering which allows cross-platform ports for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The game is offered as freely downloadable and shareable Freeware, while also asking for donations for further development and server funding, which makes the game also donationware.

This version has several improvements over the first iteration of the series, for instance better bots, by using the Lua scripting language. There is now the ability to store multiple settings, which can be also exchange, due to a XML configuration files. A Replay functionality was added as also native Gamepad/Joystick support. It is now possible to change the game speed as also alter the default volleyball rules. There is improved network support with Dedicated servers, to reduce lag.

In November 2013 a commercial Android version was released, in 2014 a version for iOS. In 2016 a commercial version for Windows mobile followed.

Since 2016 there is also a version of Blobby Volley 2 available for browsers which utilizes HTML5 for rendering.

Reception
The Blobby Volley series became quite popular freeware game, either as single player casual game and also as competitive tournament game on LAN parties, for instance the GameCon. There is an online Sports league, running since several years organized by the community.

It is offered from many freeware download outlets, for instance it was downloaded between 2007 and May 2017 alone from SourceForge.net over 700,000 times, Chip.de counted over 1 million downloads (at May 2017). Blobby Volley was also included on several video game magazines' cover disks with freeware game compilations, for instance CD-Action 1/2007, GameStar 01/2012, or the Open Source Software CD. The game is also included in several Linux distributions, for instance Ubuntu OS.

In 2001 Gamehippo.com's staff awarded 9 of 10 points. A jeuxvideo.com retrospective described Blobby Volley as fun multiplayer game in 2009. Chip.de rated the game "very good" and called it a "fun volley ball game for one to two players". PCWorld.pl gave 4/5 points in March 2014. Linux For You September 2009 ranked Blobby Volley 3/5. Linux Format December 2014 selected Blobby Volley as "HotPick".

title: Aparoksha

text:
Aparoksha  (Sanskrit: अपरोक्ष), a Sanskrit adjective meaning not invisible or perceptible, refers to direct intuitive knowledge which is one of the seven stages of knowledge or conditions of Chidabhasa, the first three being the sources of bondage and the rest four being the processes of liberation; and to the continuation of the deepening of conventional knowledge. It removes sorrows. According to Indian philosophy, the three traditional kinds of knowledge are – pratyaksha (empirical), paroksha (conventional, universal) and aparoksha (transcendental). Aparoksha is the highest kind of knowledge which cannot be gained without the practice of morality that converts paroksha knowledge from which unity of existence is derived. This knowledge is gained by establishing a guru-shishya sambandha (Guru-shishya tradition) with a teacher who has already experienced that kind of knowledge (Aparoksanubhuti); the karma or acts required to be done, after gain of Aparoksha jnana is Vidya-karma which consists in sravana (hearing of srutis), manana (reflection) and nididhyasana (meditation on Brahman).

Aparoksha is savikalpa jnana (knowledge) when one re-recognizes the non-dual nature of the ever-realized Self (Tat Tvam Asi), it is the immediate knowledge gained through the pramanas; practice of Dhyana (meditation) removes all vikalpas (varied thoughts) and leads to nirvikalpa or the thoughtless state, which is the highest experience, the immediate realization of Truth. It is the method of cessation from individual and collective perception leading to the position of neutrality. Sarvam khalvidam Brahman (all this is Brahman) is paroksha knowledge, but the understanding  that Aham Brahman Asmi (I am Brahman) is aparoksha knowledge.
