title: Maria Elizabeth of Zweibrücken

text:
Maria Elizabeth of Pfalz-Zweibrücken (16 April 1663 – 23 January 1748), was the daughter of Adolph John I, Count Palatine of Kleeburg and Elsa Elisabeth Brahe af Wisingsborg, cousin of Charles XI of Sweden and the sister of Adolph John II, Count Palatine of Kleeburg and Gustav, Duke of Zweibrücken. She is foremost known for the scandal involving herself and her siblings, when she, after a long going conflict in 1686-88, eloped from the authority of her parents.

Parental conflict
Maria Elizabeth was born and raised in Sweden, where her father resided at Stegeborg Castle as the Duke of Stegeborg, being the brother of King Charles X Gustav of Sweden. She was the sibling of Catherine of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and Adolph John II, Count Palatine of Kleeburg and Gustav, Duke of Zweibrücken.

Her father, Adolph John I, resided permanently in exile from the Swedish royal court at Stegeborg Castle, after his unsuccessful career and the great reduction of Charles XI had left the family in poor financial circumstances. Their parents were described as bitter toward the royal house, and reportedly channelized their frustration in their behavior toward their children, who they treated worse enough to attract dislike even by the standard of the day. Because their economical situation prevented them from participating in social life in accordance with their rank, and their father was too proud to ask for financial assistance, their parents kept their children at Stegeborg Castle and isolated them not only from the royal court life and aristocratic society, but even from family members, prevented them from seeing anyone from outside the Castle and used them for domestic chores. Catherine and Maria Elizabeth, in contrast to their parents, were described as humble and obliging rather than proud nor pompous, and as "quite beautiful and lovely girls".

In 1686, the two sons applied for a position at court, but when they did not succeed, their father prevented them from leaving the Castle again. The same year, the sisters sent a letter to their half sister of their mothers previous marriage, countess Christina Oxenstierna af Croneborg and asked her for help. Christina asked Queen Hedvig Eleonora for help, who suggested that the father of the sisters asked for them to be made courtiers: Christina explained that the abuse at Stegeborg were already scandalously well known, and that she had not been able to see her mother since her remarriage. Christina's sister Elisabet De la Gardie sent money to Catherine. The 3 March 1687, the Duke had Catherine write a letter on behalf of herself and her sister in which she stated that she had no complaints and denied that she had ever asked anyone for help. Her father also sent back the money and demanded to know by which reason and condition his daughters had been given money against his consent.

Scandal
On 1 November 1687, the two sisters and their younger brother Gustav ran away from home with the assistance of their clerk Matthias Rigneer and their footman Petter. The party were apprehended by their father's servants. The siblings had to return and their helpers were imprisoned. This became a scandal when the Duke accused the judges for freeing those who helped his adult children escape his parental authority. This led to the governor of Östergötland, Erik Lovisin, conducting an investigation, in which he confirmed that the children were exposed to abuse. After the report, Charles XI offered to finance a trip abroad for the male siblings and give the female ones positions at court, but the Duke declined all efforts to violate his parental authority. In July 1688, the three siblings ran away a second time, and although the servants of their father caught up with them, they allowed them to proceed to the royal court in Stockholm despite their orders to stop them. There, they were given the protection of Queen Hedvig Eleonora, who made the sisters her ladies-in-waiting. The father sent their mother to court to claim them back, but she was forced to return without them.

Later life
In 1689, she and her sister nursed their parents at their death bed and was reconciled, after which Stegeborg Castle was confiscated by the crown. The two sisters then resided at Bråborg Castle supported by the same allowance previously given to their father.

Maria Elizabeth later joined the Protestant Herford Abbey. She later left Herford and joined her brother Gustav, who was at that point in Austrian service in Vienna, where she married count Christian Gottlob von Gersdorff auf Oppach. The marriage was unhappy and she later returned to Herford. She finally settled in Paris, where she converted to Catholicism.

Reception

Critical response
Times of India rated the film 1.5/5. Renuka Vyavhare of TOI said that, "If you are planning to watch this film solely for Rajesh Khanna, don't". The film makes an unsuccessful attempt to make scene intense by playing loud music every time Rajesh Khanna appears on screen.  Johnson Thomas of FreePressJournal said that the film is a desi wannabe of the Hollywood film The Godfather and, the narrative is hapless, very amateurishly executed. Jyothi Venkatesh of the website Starblockbuster.com reviewed the film as lacking novelty. Rediff said that the Rajesh Khanna looks unwell in the movie and seems unable to deliver dialogues given to him. The website also speculate that the film was completed after Rajesh Khanna's death as there was found many repeated appearances of him and many dialogues of his shots delivered by some other person.

title: Soda PDF

text:
Soda PDF is a family of applications used to open, view, create, convert, edit, secure and share Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The software was developed by LULU Software, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

History
In 2010, shortly after the foundation of LULU Software, the first version of Soda PDF was launched as LULU Software’s flagship product line.  Soda PDF was created and originated at LULU Software’s headquarters in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

In December 2011, LULU Software announced that they would be launching a new Soda PDF product line featuring 3D viewing technology, new customizable viewing options, and enhanced editing capabilities. CNET reviewed Soda PDF Professional 2011 as being “capable, flexible, easy to use, and affordable enough for individuals and organizations that need more than what free tools offer yet can't afford the big-box bundles.”

In 2012, a new version called Soda 3D PDF Reader 2012 was released. This version was complimented for its “realistic” page-turning feature. The full featured Soda PDF 2012 was the next release, and its Pro version was rated as being impressive due to its “straightforward design,” with its navigation system enabling “accessing tools easier and more efficient.” It was also said to have “no trouble creating good-looking PDFs from source files saved in other file formats.” This simple and easy-to-use interface was carried over to future designs of the Soda PDF software.

Soda PDF 12
Soda PDF 12 was released on August 5, 2020, and included significant changes to the speed and functionality of the software. The upgrade includes the following features:

 New user interface
The major update regarding Soda PDF 12 was their newly revamped user interface in which the software completely revamped their user experience within the updated application.

 Increased speed
Part of Soda PDF 12’s improvements also included improving upon the speed of their PDF conversion tools. Soda PDF now has the fastest PDF to Microsoft Office converter on the market in which users can now quickly convert their PDF document to export the file as Word, Excel, PowerPoint document or even as an image file.

 New page feature
The release of Soda PDF 12 included a new feature tab called Page allowing users to view the layout of their document’s pages. Using the Page feature, users can select from a variety of tools to rotate, replace, move, or reverse the order of pages within any document. Page feature also includes tools for cropping, resizing, or modifying the margins of pages.

Furthermore, the new Page feature also included tools for extracting images from pages and an insert pages tool. Users also have the option of extracting a page, or a range of pages, to then create brand new PDF documents from those extractions.

 E-Sign
Soda PDF 12 also introduced a new E-Sign experience for its users. The new "Sign your document" and "Request Signature" tools were introduced which enables users to choose between adding their own e-signature to a PDF document, or to include, request, and track electronic signatures from other signers, respectively.

Features
Tech Republic remarked that one of the best functions of Soda PDF was how easy it was to change the file size of the PDFs when saving. While reviewing Soda PDF 5, they commented on the fact that reducing file sizes was a straightforward process with the optimize feature. The file size can be adjusted using a slider ranging from minimum to maximum quality. The output can be further tuned by tweaking image sampling based on whether images contain color, grayscale or monochrome elements. Tech Republic concluded that Soda PDF did an excellent job of balancing readability and crunching bits down to more manageable sizes. This feature was carried forward to Soda PDF version 6 as well.

Other Soda PDF 6 features are based on older versions such as Soda PDF 2012 and Soda PDF 5. The software also has the ability to read comic book files such as CBR and CBZ, and eBook files such as EPUB.

In a 2016 review of Soda PDF 8 PC Mag highlighted the "powerful PDF creation and editing tools" and Soda PDF's integration with cloud storage, but considered the modular pricing model a drawback and called the OCR "spotty".

Soda View / 3D and Create
Soda View/3D is a free PDF application users can use to open, view, and create PDF files. The flipping animation tool of its patent-pending 3D feature enables users to go through pages of PDF files as they would in real life. CNET has praised the 3D Reader as being “clean and inviting,” as well as “fast and easy to use.” However, the program also installs unwanted software that creates frequent pop-ups in Windows.

title: Ruggero Pasquarelli

text:
Ruggero Pasquarelli (born 10 September 1993), known professionally by the mononym Ruggero (stylised in all caps), is an Italian singer and actor. In 2010, he took part in the fourth series of the Italian talent show X Factor, and is also known for his performance as Federico in the Argentine telenovela Violetta (2012–2015) and as Matteo Balsano in Soy Luna (2016–2018).

Biography

Early life
Ruggero Pasquarelli was born in his house, Abruzzo, on 10 September 1993, to Bruno and Antonella Pasquarelli, and he grew up in Città Sant'Angelo, a town in the province of Pescara.
As a child, he took guitar and acting lessons. In 2008, Pasquarelli started taking singing lessons, and since 2009 he also studied piano. He has a brother named Leonardo Pasquarelli. In high school, Pasquarelli studied at the pedagogical liceo, and specialized in Arts and Entertainment. While he was a high school student, he also became a singer of the local rock band 65013.

X Factor
In 2010, during his senior year of high school, Pasquarelli auditioned for the fourth series of the Italian talent show X Factor. As a result, he was chosen by Mara Maionchi as a member of the "Boys" category. During the seventh live show, Pasquarelli finished in the bottom two for the first time, together with Cassandra Raffaele, but only Raffaele's judge, Elio, voted to eliminate Pasquarelli, and he was therefore saved. He finished once again in the bottom two during the tenth live show. Pasquarelli was not allowed to perform during the final showdown, since he was 17 years old, and Italian laws don't allow performances of people under the age of majority after midnight. A pre-recorded performance was broadcast instead. The judges vote resulted in a deadlock, and the public vote saved Nevruz, and Pasquarelli finished the competition in sixth place.

Violetta
In 2012, Pasquarelli landed the role of Federico in the Argentine telenovela Violetta.

The first episode he appeared in was  “An Approach, A Song” (season one, episode 56) until the series finale (season three, episode 80). He also took part in the European tour with all the cast.

He also took part in the three Live Tours in 2017 and 2018, playing shows in Latin America and Europe.
In 2017, he released his first self-written song called 'Allá voy' on the Soy Luna Soundtrack. In 2018, he released his second self-written song "Esta noche no paro" on the Soy Luna Soundtrack as well.

Solo singing career
On June 20, 2019, he released his first single "Probablemente", followed by the second single, "No Te Voy a Fallar", released on September 10, 2019.

title: Manitoba Highway 83A

text:
Provincial Trunk Highway 83A (PTH 83A) is a name for a numbered highway in Manitoba, Canada serving the town of Swan River.  The highway is an alternate route of PTH 83; the southern leg of the route was the original alignment of the parent highway.

Route Description

PTH 83A branches off from PTH 83 south of Swan River, becoming Centennial Drive once it enters the town limits. The highway then turns right on to Main Street southwest of the town centre and meets PTH 10A (4th Ave.) about 40 metres later (the original northbound terminus for PTH 83 was at this intersection).  The two highways run in concurrence through the town centre along Main Street until they terminate at PTH 10 and the current northbound terminus for PTH 83.  On the route, the speed limit is mainly 50 km/h, and 80 km/h approaching PTH 83 on the south side.

title: Malin Björk

text:
Malin Anna Björk (born 22 May 1972) is a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) of the Swedish Left Party and The Left (GUE/NGL). She is a full member of the parliament's Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) and a substitute member of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE).

She is the European Parliament's rapporteur on the EU resettlement framework. In October 2017, her proposal to resettle around 240 000 refugees per year in the EU member states was approved in the LIBE committee.

Together with her colleague Eleonora Forenza, she is the author of a report on gender and trade, which calls for a more gender sensitive EU trade policy. The report was adopted in the FEMM Committee and the Committee on International Trade in January 2018.

Björk worked for several years for the European Women's Lobby in Brussels. In 2009, she took up a job as a political advisor in the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality for the Committee's GUE/NGL coordinator Eva-Britt Svensson.

She was the Left Party's top candidate in the 2014 European Parliament election after she narrowly won a fight for the position against incumbent MEP Mikael Gustavsson. She was elected as the sole member for the party.

As a feminist, during the election campaign she focused on feminist issues as well as anti-racism, LGBT rights, protection of welfare and workers' rights, and opposition to austerity policies. She seeks stronger measures against social dumping, including overturning the principle of the ruling in the case Laval Un Partneri Ltd v Svenska Byggnadsarbetareforbundet, which held that the right to strike is limited if it disproportionately affected the right to establish or provide business in the EU. She opposes the proposal to create a Transatlantic Free Trade Area.

In April 2014, Björk refused to buckle her seat belt on board in a Swedish plane after she became aware that the plane would transport an asylum seeker from Iran who was about to get deported. As a result, the man was transferred to another place. He was later granted a permanent residency permit in Sweden.

She lives in Brussels with her partner and their two children.

Award criteria
The decoration could be awarded to veteran cadres of Umkhonto we Sizwe who have distinguished themselves during the "struggle" by distinguished conduct and exceptional combat leadership.

title: Manhunt in the City

text:
Manhunt in the City (), also known as The Manhunt, is a 1975 Italian poliziottesco film directed by Umberto Lenzi. It was co-written by Dardano Sacchetti and has a score by Bruno Nicolai.

Plot summary

Cast
 Henry Silva: Davide Vannucchi
 Raymond Pellegrin:Inspector Bertone
 Luciana Paluzzi: Vera Vannucchi
 Silvano Tranquilli: Giordani
 Claudio Gora: Lawyer Mieli
 Luciano Catenacci: Pascucci

Production
Manhunt in the City was filmed at Elios Film in Rome and on location in Milan. Lenzi originally envisioned Claudio Cassinelli in the role that Silva has. Henry Silva and Luciana Paluzzi are paired again, after their performance together in The Italian Connection (1972).

Style
The film is part of vigilante subgenre. The films script overturns initial assumptions where the engineer Vannucchi get manipulated by a fascist lawyer who heads an army of vigilantes and ends up killing the wrong person. Lenzi stated that he desired to make a film in contrast to Enzo G. Castellari's Street Law. The film also has a few elements of the giallo genre, as Silva's hunt for a criminal who wears a bracelet depicting a scorpion.

Release
Manhunt in the City was released in Italy on 8 May 1975 where it was distributed by Titanus. On its theatrical run in Italy, the film grossed 711.5 million Italian lira. According to Lenzi, "censors found it very annoying that in the end the Commissioner, understanding the protagonist's motives that lead to his revenge, lets him go unpunished."
The film was issued on DVD in Italy in 2010.

title: Sir Alexander Murray, 3rd Baronet

text:
Sir Alexander Murray, 3rd Baronet (after 1684 – 18 May 1743) was a Scottish baronet and politician.  He was a son of Sir David Murray (1659 - 1729) and his first wife, Anne Bruce.

Alexander Murray was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Peeblesshire from 1710 to 1713.

On 16 August 1710 he married Grizel Baillie (1692 - 1759), the elder daughter of Lady Grisell Baillie of Jerviswood and George Baillie.  Although this was a love match, it was a disaster.  After the couple had lived a few miserable months under her father's roof, Murray made himself a ‘voluntary outcast’.  There was a brief reconciliation in 1711–12, when he was accepted back into the Baillie household, but his behaviour led to a process for separation being instituted against him, and its completion in 1714 seems to have unbalanced him still further.

Murray took up arms in the cause of the Old Pretender in the Jacobite Rising of 1715 and was subsequently imprisoned at Marshalsea until 1717.  After his release, he took an interest in the exploitation of mineral deposits on land his father had purchased in Ardnamurchan, ran up substantial debts and lived for a time in France.  In 1735, on learning of the death of George Baillie, he returned to Scotland and engaged in correspondence with the Baillie family seeking financial compensation for defamation of character and erasure of the deed of separation.

In 1735, Murray wrote a whimsical proposal for the economic development of the island of St. Kilda.

In 1740, he published a collection of discussion documents, with the overall title The True Interest of Great Britain, Ireland and our Plantations: or, a Proposal for Making such a Union between Great Britain and Ireland, and all our Plantations, as that already made betwixt Scotland and England. etc.

In Fiction
Sir Alexander Murray of Stanhope features as a character in Andrew Drummond's fantasy novel The Books of the Incarceration of the Lady Grange (2016),.

title: Atarshumki I

text:
Atarshumki I (also Bar-Guš) was the King of Bit Agusi in ancient Syria; he was the son of Arames. The capital of Bit Agusi was Arpad.

History
Like his father, Atarshumki was rebellious against the Assyrian supremacy. At that time, Assyria was ruled by Shamshi-Adad V and then by Adad-nirari III.

Atarshumki tried to build a coalition with his neighbors against the Assyrians; finally, in 796, Adad-nirari III launched a military campaign in the area, and subjugated it.

The territorial conflict between Hamath and Arpad

The Antakya stele (de) is believed to belong to the later years of Adad-Nirari III. This is when the prominent official Shamshi-ilu, who is involved with the inscription, became active. Based on this, the inscription is believed to date in the 780s BC.

"The Antakya inscription describes the interference of the Assyrian King in a territorial conflict between Atarsumki, king of Arpad, and Zakkur, king of Hamath ... At that time, both kings were vassals of Adad-nirari III ... the settlement was established in favour of the previously hostile king of Arpad ... The reason for preferring Arpad is clear: it had broken up the lines of the Syro-Hittite coalition, and opened before Adad-nirari III the way to the south, to Damascus."

Chanoff believes resettlement is a vastly superior alternative to refugee camps, since re-settled refugees can support themselves and "get on with their own lives". He views his role as a humanitarian relief organizer to "attempt to help everyone in need."

In 2006, he founded the organization called Mapendo, which was renamed RefugePoint in 2011, to aid at-risk and obscure African refugee groups. Mapendo helped to evacuate more than 10,000 refugees from Sudan, Kenya, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. He explained:

Chanoff was born in Finland. His great grandparents escaped from pogroms in Russia. Many of his relatives were murdered in the Holocaust half a century later. He explained:

He moved to the United States and graduated from Wesleyan University. Chanoff received a bachelor's degree from Wesleyan University, and a master's degree in Humanitarian Assistance through a joint degree program at the Tufts University Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Chanoff is a dual United States and Finnish citizen and speaks Finnish, German, French, and Swahili.

Awards and honors
Chanoff was awarded the Charles Bronfman Prize for his humanitarian efforts in 2010. In 2013, he was awarded the Gleitsman International Activist Award, given to an activist who has "improved the quality of life for others." It is an award given to a leader who works to challenge "injustices around the world and inspires others to do the same." Past recipients of this award have included Ralph Nader and Nelson Mandela. In addition, he received fellowships from Ashoka, the Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation, and Echoing Green. In 2006, he was named a Waldzell Institute "Architect of the Future." He serves on the Steering Committee of New England International Donors.
