title: Edoardo Goldaniga

text:
Edoardo Goldaniga (born 2 November 1993) is an Italian professional footballer who plays a defender for  club Cagliari.

Club career

Pizzighettone & Palermo
Born in Milan, Goldaniga began his career when he was signed by Pizzighettone as a youth. He made his senior debut for the club in a Serie D league match in 2010. After eventually racking up more than 60 appearances for the club, he was subsequently noted by scouts from Serie A club Palermo, who agreed to sign him in July 2012. Initially joining the first team's pre-season camp, Goldaniga was then included into the Primavera under-20 squad, where he spent the 2012–13 season.

Pisa (loan), Juventus & Perugia (loan)
In July 2013 he was loaned out to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Pisa in order to gain regular first team experience. His impressive performances in the first half of the 2013–14 season won him interest from defending Serie A champions Juventus, who acquired 50% of the player's transfer rights in January 2014 on a co-ownership basis from Palermo (in a cashless swap with Eric Lanini). He remained with Pisa for the entirety of the 2013–14 Lega Pro Prima Divisione helping the team to a 6th-place finish in Group B and a spot in promotion play-off. Goldaniga featured in all 33 matches for the club as a starter, scoring two goals, although Pisa eventually lost out in their hopes for promotion following a 2–1 aggregate defeat to Frosinone in the semi-finals. Upon the conclusion of the loan agreement, Goldaniga returned to Juventus on 30 June 2014, after the club renewal of the co-ownership agreement.

After officially joining Juventus for the first time on 1 July 2014, Goldaniga was instantaneously sent out on a season-long loan deal to newly promoted Serie B side Perugia, who were promoted from the Lega Pro Prima Divisione as Group B champions.

Return to Palermo
After a great season in Serie B, Goldaniga re-joined Palermo who announced they had resolved co-ownership of the player with Juventus.

Sassuolo
He, along with Palermo goalkeeper Leonardo Marson, signed for Sassuolo on 29 July 2017.

Loan to Frosinone
On 15 July 2018, Goldaniga signed with Frosinone on loan until 30 June 2019.

Loan to Genoa
On 2 September 2019, he joined Genoa on a season-long loan with option to buy. On 16 September 2020, the loan was renewed for an additional season.

Cagliari
On 12 January 2022, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Cagliari.

International career
Goldaniga is part of the Italy U21 squad since April 2014, selected by coach Luigi Di Biagio, with whom he made his debut on 4 June 2014 in a friendly match against Montenegro. He has also featured for the Italy U20 squad on three occasions.

title: Weddell Polynya

text:
The Weddell Polynya, or Weddell Sea Polynya, is a polynya or irregular area of open water surrounded by sea ice in the Weddell Sea of the Southern Ocean off Antarctica and near the Maud Rise. The formation of the polynya exposes relatively warmer ocean waters (at surface freezing temperatures of -1.9°C) to a cold atmosphere, leading to a large exchange of heat which drives deep convection in the ocean, often reaching depths of a 1,000 to 2,000 meters.

Occurrences
The size of New Zealand, it re-occurred each winter between 1974 and 1976. These were the first three austral winters observed by the Nimbus-5 Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR). From 1976 to 2015 this polynya was rarely observed. The polynya reoccurred in 2016, and has since appeared in 2017. The 2010s occurrence has been smaller than the 1970s occurrence, being about the size of Maine in 2017, or roughly .

Since the 1970s, the polar Southern Ocean south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current has freshened and stratified, likely a result of anthropogenic climate change. Such stratification may be responsible for suppressing the return of the Weddell Sea polynya.

More recently, it was found that intense cyclones occurring over the ice pack, far south from the ice edge, were at the origin of the reoccurrence of the Weddell or Maud Rise Polynya in austral winter 2017. In certain winter months, the general atmospheric circulation around Antarctica exhibits a strong zonal wave 3 pattern which favor the development of polar cyclones closer to the coast i.e. over preconditioned oceanographic areas for polynya formation such as the Weddell Polynya in the Lazarev Sea and the Cosmonaut polynya in the Cosmonaut Sea around Antarctica.

Other Antarctic polynyas
The presence of polynyas in McMurdo Sound provides an ice-free area where penguins can feed, so is important for the survival of the Cape Royds penguin colony.

title: Already Gone (Taylor Henderson song)

text:
"Already Gone" is a song recorded by Australian singer and songwriter Taylor Henderson for his second studio album, Burnt Letters. Released as the second single from the album on 20 June 2014, it was written by Henderson, Louis Schoorl and Alex Hope and produced by Schoorl. The song's development was motivated by the fact that Henderson wanted to write a song about being away from home and missing his loved ones. Lyrically, "Already Gone" finds Henderson being torn "between living his musical dreams and pining for the simple way things used to be."

"Already Gone" received a positive reception from various publications, who complimented the production and Henderson's vocals. Upon its release, "Already Gone" debuted at number 42 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The accompanying music video was directed by Lawrence Lim and features Henderson in a recording studio and in his apartment putting photos of his loved ones on the wall. Henderson promoted the song with performances on television programs.

Writing and production
Taylor Henderson co-wrote "Already Gone" with Alex Hope and Louis Schoorl for his second studio album Burnt Letters. The trio also performed background vocals on the song. "Already Gone" was recorded, engineered and mixed by Schoorl, while the mastering was done by Leon Zervos. Schoorl also provided the bass, drums, piano and programming. Both Schoorl and Hope also played the percussion, while Henderson and Schoorl played the guitar. The concept of the song came from Henderson wanting to write about being away from home and missing his loved ones, as it is "one of the day-to-day things" he has to deal with. "Already Gone" was written in 45 minutes after Henderson could not return home because of a last-minute schedule change. The lyrics are about Henderson being torn "between living his musical dreams and pining for the simple way things used to be."

Release and reception
Henderson announced the single's release by uploading an audio teaser video to his Vevo account on 11 June 2014. "Already Gone" was then made available for digital download on 20 June 2014. Speaking of his decision to release "Already Gone" as the next single from Burnt Letters, Henderson said: "The thing is that if I brought out another love song, I'd be shot. I'm constantly singing about love, and so I just felt I wanted to change it up a bit lyrically with the new single, and I also wanted to pick up the tempo to show off the diversity on the album." An acoustic version of the song is included on Henderson's extended play, The Acoustic Sessions.

Take 40 Australia described "Already Gone" as a "heartbreakingly bittersweet song", while Nova FM called it a "catchy tune" and believed it to be "one of those songs that really gets stuck in your head." Marcus Floyd from Renowned for Sound compared "Already Gone" to its predecessor "When You Were Mine", saying that the former "isn't as memorable, but it still has a nice stripped back feel and a chance for Henderson to show off that high range of his." Upon its release, "Already Gone" debuted and peaked at number 42 on the ARIA Singles Chart issue dated 30 June 2014. In its second week, the song dropped thirty-seven places to number 79. However, after the release of its music video, "Already Gone" moved back up to number 45 in its third week.

Promotion
The music video was directed by Lawrence Lim and filmed on two days in June 2014. A behind-the-scenes clip of the shoot was first shown on Sunrise on 30 June 2014, and later uploaded to Henderson's Vevo account on 1 July 2014. The official video was released on 3 July 2014. It features scenes of Henderson in a recording studio working on the lyrics for "Already Gone" and scenes of him in his apartment putting photos of his family and friends on the wall. At the end of the video, Henderson arrives at his family home, while a collage of the photos on the wall is shown. Take 40 Australia described the video as "flawless". Henderson performed "Already Gone" on Sunrise (11 July 2014), The Riff (18 July 2014) and The Footy Show (24 July 2014).

title: The Science of Star Wars (book)

text:
The Science of Star Wars is a nonfiction popular science book written by former NASA astrophysicist Jeanne Cavelos first published on April 15, 1999, by St. Martin's Press. The book uses fictional characters, worlds, and technology from the Star Wars universe as starting points for discussion of factual concepts in cosmology, biology, and technology, and discusses in a "semi-serious" fashion  the scientific probability of such fictional elements. "It takes the fantastic elements of the movies—like faster-than-light travel—and examines the current state of science to see if they're possible".

Summary
Chapter 1: Planetary Environments covers topics such as cosmology, planetary science, desert ecosystems, and the biochemical requirements for the origin of life, using fictional Star Wars locales such as Tatooine and Endor as starting points for discussion.

Chapter 2: Aliens discusses biological and evolutionary concepts such as bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion, mammalian physiology, bioluminescence, and others, based on fictional creatures such as Wookiees, Jawas, Ewoks, and Hutts (the race to which Jabba belongs).

Chapter 3: Droids explores topics such as artificial intelligence, neuroscience, human psychology using robotic droids such as C-3PO and R2-D2 as prompts.

Chapter 4: Spaceships and Weapons covers advances in quantum physics, string theory, anti-gravity, and laser technology, stemming from fictional devices such as lightsabers, and the Death Star.

Chapter 5: The Force discusses the plausibility of Jedi powers and "the Force" by exploring quantum physical concepts of tachyons and superstring theory as well as various fringe and the parascientific concept of parapsychology.

Reception
The book received generally positive reception for covering complex theories and concepts in a manner comprehensible and entertaining to non-specialists.
Charles Kolb of the National Endowment for the Humanities writes that Cavelos "has given us a good story and has transported the reader from science fiction to science fact and probability... There is a great deal of scientific material presented in an upbeat, non-trivialized, well-written and engaging style." However, Kolb found Cavelos' lack of direct citations to publications and expert interviews "particularly distressing" for readers wishing to verify in-line quotations or easily locate additional sources. Frederick Pratter's review in The Christian Science Monitor largely echoed Kolb's praise, stating "the scientific research presented is the mainstream of current thinking in astrophysics, cosmology, robotics, genetics, and biological adaptation. The style, as might be expected, is light and breezy, but rarely trivializes the material".

title: Firebase

text:
Firebase, Inc. is a set of backend cloud computing services and application development platforms provided by Google. It hosts databases, services, authentication, and integration for a variety of applications, including Android, iOS, JavaScript, Node.js, Java, Unity, PHP, and C++.

History
Firebase evolved from Envolve, a prior startup founded by James Tamplin and Andrew Lee in 2011. Envolve provided developers an API that enables the integration of online chat functionality into their websites. After releasing the chat service, Tamplin and Lee found that it was being used to pass application data that were not chat messages. Developers were using Envolve to sync application data such as game state in real time across their users. Tamplin and Lee decided to separate the chat system and the real-time architecture that powered it.  They founded Firebase as a separate company in 2011 and it launched to the public in April 2012.

Firebase's first product was the Firebase Realtime Database, an API that synchronizes application data across iOS, Android, and Web devices, and stores it on Firebase's cloud. The product assists software developers in building real-time, collaborative applications.

In May 2012, a month after the beta launch, Firebase raised $1.1 million in seed funding from venture capitalists Flybridge Capital Partners, Greylock Partners, Founder Collective, and New Enterprise Associates. In June 2013, the company further raised $5.6 million in Series A funding from Union Square Ventures and Flybridge Capital Partners.

In 2014, Firebase launched two products: Firebase Hosting and Firebase Authentication. This positioned the company as a mobile backend as a service.

In October 2014, Firebase was acquired by Google. A year later, in October 2015, Google acquired Divshot, an HTML5 web-hosting platform, to merge it with the Firebase team.

In May 2016, at Google I/O, the company's annual developer conference, Firebase introduced Firebase Analytics and announced that it was expanding its services to become a unified backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform for mobile developers. Firebase now integrates with various other Google services, including Google Cloud Platform, AdMob, and Google Ads to offer broader products and scale for developers. Google Cloud Messaging, the Google service to send push notifications to Android devices, was superseded by a Firebase product, Firebase Cloud Messaging, which added the functionality to deliver push notifications to Android, iOS and web devices.

In July 2016, Google announced that it was acquiring the mobile developer platform LaunchKit, which specialized in app developer marketing, and would be folding it into the Firebase Growth Tools team. In January 2017, Google acquired Fabric and Crashlytics from Twitter to add those services to Firebase.

In October 2017, Firebase launched Cloud Firestore, a real-time document database as the successor product to the original Firebase Realtime Database.

User privacy controversies
Firebase has been claimed to be used by Google to track users without their knowledge. On July 14, 2020, a lawsuit was filed accusing Google of violating federal wire tap law and California privacy law. It stated that through Firebase, Google collected and stored user data, logging what the user was looking at in many types of apps, despite the user following Google's own instructions to turn off the web and app activity collected by the company. The lawsuit was dismissed in January 2022, with Chief US District Judge Richard Seeborg ruling that a promise to avoid collecting user data did not amount to a contract.

title: NIHL South Division 1

text:
The NIHL South Division 1 is the top-level league in the Southern Region of the British National Ice Hockey League setup.

It forms one of four NIHL divisions, of a total of 43 teams, which are divided regionally.

The NIHL was reorganised for the start of the 2017-18 season, and South Division 1 features nine teams. The closing of the English Premier League meant that Basingstoke Bison, Swindon Wildcats, Bracknell Bees and Peterborough Phantoms joined the division, as the NIHL came to be the second tier of British ice hockey instead of the third.

The combination of semi-professional teams from the former EPL with largely amateur teams from the old NIHL South Division created pressure, with several teams preferring to play in South Division 2, in the face of increased costs and an unnaturally tougher playing field.

At the end of the season, the top eight sides will play two-legged quarter-finals before the final four sides will contest a play-off weekend.

Promotion and relegation between divisions in both the north and south have been aligned, with both sides operating an automatic one up, one down system, but in year one there will be no automatic relegation from D1 South (Britton) to enable the division to return to ten teams.

2020/21 clubs

Teams' participations in other cups
In June 2017, the NIHL confirmed there would be two new competitions alongside the league.

NIHL National Cup
The NIHL National Cup, features twelves NIHL teams in four regional groups. Six teams from the NIHL South Division 1 will take part, in groups C and D.

Group A: Billingham Stars, Blackburn Hawks, Solway Sharks

Group B: Sheffield Steeldogs, Peterborough Phantoms, Hull Pirates

Group C: Invicta Dynamos, London Raiders, Streatham IHC

Group D: Basingstoke Bison, Bracknell Bees, Swindon Wildcats

Group matches are two home, two away, against the other teams for a total of eight games. The top two sides move to quarter-finals to be held in early 2018.

Autumn Trophy
Six clubs will also take part in another competition, the Autumn Trophy, which is scheduled to conclude by early December. The teams will play initially in two groups, playing one home and one away, before semi-finals and a final. Teams from the NIHL South Division 1 will play in group B.

Group A: Basingstoke Bison, Peterborough Phantoms, Sheffield Steeldogs

Group B: Bracknell Bees, Hull Pirates, Swindon Wildcats

2016-17 standings

The last season featuring the old division structure was 2016-17, and finished with Chelmsford Chieftains topping the table.

title: USM Modular Furniture

text:
USM Modular Furniture is a Swiss manufacturer of modular furniture for the home and office. The company’s signature product line, USM Haller, is celebrated as a design classic and included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. USM Modular Furniture employs a staff of 460 throughout Europe and the United States and is represented by more than 410 sales partners in 40 countries worldwide. USM has an international presence with furniture showrooms in Bern, Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Munich, Paris, Stuttgart, Tokyo, and New York City. The company’s New York showroom and corporate offices are located at 28 Greene Street in SoHo.

History

USM was founded in Switzerland by Ulrich Schaerer in 1885 as a producer of iron works and window fittings. In the late 1940s, USM increased its product lines with metal and sheet-metal work to respond to the post-war economy.  In 1961, Paul Schaerer, grandson of USM founder Ulrich Schaerer, chose to take the company in a new direction by transforming the factory from a large, manually-oriented metal production plant into a modern, industrial enterprise. To achieve this goal, Schaerer commissioned Swiss architect Fritz Haller to design a building that would accommodate the Munsingen-based company’s factory and provide ample space for administrative offices. The building collaboration with Haller proved so successful that, in 1963, Schaerer, together with Haller, created the pioneering furniture product known today as USM Haller Systems for the company’s open-plan offices. Since the establishment of the USM Haller System, the classic furniture line has been utilized in homes and offices around the world.

Products

USM Haller furniture systems and product lines include the USM Display presentation system (developed in 1989), the USM Kitos modular table system (1990), and the USM Inos internal organization system (1996).  In 2010, USM launched its Quick Ship program to respond to increased demand for classic modern furniture pieces from the USM Haller modular system by making them available for delivery within 2–3 weeks in the Continental United States. Quick Ship represents a large selection USM pieces for the home and office, such as credenzas, shelving, tables, storage, and nightstands. These selections are in stock, pre-built, and available in seven colors.

USM Haller

USM Haller’s elegant proportions and minimalist design is characterized by high-quality construction and simplicity that gives the modern furniture flexibility as to how it can be configured and adapt to changing needs over time. The underlying impetus behind USM Haller modular furniture is that form follows function. Each furniture system is designed to be appropriate for both home and office environments and assimilates with any architectural or interior design.

The concept of the USM Haller system is a modular freestanding desk and storage solution for the office or home. The tables are offered in standard shapes, sizes and finishes that can be accessorized with equipment for modern technology including: swing arms for telephones, monitors and computers, paper, and wire management organizers.

The USM Haller system frame is based on and constructed with three basic elements: the ball, connecting tubes and panels. The system can be built in any direction, taken apart and reconfigured for changing requirements. The furniture units can be further customized per application by adding doors, drawers and a variety of internal organizational accessories.

USM Kitos
Introduced in 1990, Kitos (Complex Integrated Table Organization System) is a highly functional modular table system that responds to the challenges of a fast paced work environment. Kitos can be transformed from a meeting table into a workstation. Its features include an adjustable column support, height and tilting work surfaces. Kitos offers a wide array of accessories: swing arms for monitors, telephones and computers, a “third level” shelf that can hold more equipment or increase a work surface and cable management. Like Haller, Kitos may be arranged in a variety of configurations.

USM Display
USM Display was introduced in 1989 and is a multi-functional partition and presentation system. The vertical supports provide the base for a variety of paneling options and organizational accessories. The system is ideal for reception, conferencing and retail purposes. Display accessories include angled or horizontal shelving, white boards and acoustic panels.

title: Butlers' Store

text:
Butlers' Store is a group of three historic commercial buildings in New Hope, Alabama.  The Butler family began their dry goods and hardware business in the 1850s, and in 1909 built 2 two-story buildings on New Hope's main street.  The central building was used for a general merchandise, dry goods, and hardware store and office space.  It features a five-bay façade with cast iron columns separating large glass panes atop wood panel bulkheads on the storefront level.  Large transom windows over the main windows cast light into the room with 18-foot (5.5-meter) ceilings and a mezzanine in the rear.  The northern building was used for a bank until the Great Depression, after which it was connected to the central building and used as a grocery store.  It is shorter than the central building, due to a lower ceiling on the ground floor.  Both of the older buildings have brick corbelling and slightly arched second-floor windows.  The one-story southern building was constructed in 1939 and housed a furniture store.  Three bays in width, its ground floor appearance is similar to the northern building, but its roofline is more plain.

The business flourished from the 1930s to the 1950s, when it also sold farm equipment, fertilizers, and building materials, and bought cotton and cottonseed.  Business declined as agriculture waned and commercial activity in nearby Huntsville increased, and the company closed in the mid-1970s.  Today, the buildings are owned by the city of New Hope, and house a police station, city hall, and public library.  They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

title: Yotoku Miyagi

text:
was an Okinawan Marxist artist, Communist Party USA member, and a member of Richard Sorge's spy ring.

Early life
Miyagi was born in Okinawa in 1903. When he was sixteen, he went to California after contracting tuberculosis. He arrived in Los Angeles in 1926, where he worked as an artist and ran the Owl Restaurant. Miyagi was aware of the exploitation of Okinawan farmers by the Japanese, and witnessed similar treatment of Japanese by Americans.

In 1931 Miyagi became a member of the Japanese Section of the CPUSA, but was never an active party member. In 1927, he married a Japanese girl, and in 1932 he and his wife rented a flat in West Los Angeles.

Career
In 1932, he was asked to return to Japan on a mission for the Comintern. On October 24, 1933, he left San Pedro on the Buenos Aires Maru, bound for Yokohama. He expected to return to the United States.

While in Japan, Miyagi established a network of informants, which included a secretary to an Imperial Army general. Miyagi translated Japanese reports and newspaper articles into English for Richard Sorge.

Capture and death
By 1941, all the members of Sorge's spy ring had been rounded up, and they had all made confessions. Miyagi died in Sugamo Prison in Tokyo in the middle of his trial in 1943. He was 40 years old.

The Order of the Patriotic War (Second Class) was posthumously awarded to Yotoku Miyagi in 1964.

title: Habeas Corpus Act 1816

text:
The Habeas Corpus Act 1816 (56 Geo. 3. c. 100) or Serjeant Onslow's Act was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that modified the law on habeas corpus to remove the rule against controverting the return in non-criminal cases.

Historically, the rules around factual inquiries in decisions around petitions for habeas corpus had been based on the Opinion on the Writ of Habeas Corpus, a House of Lords disquisition by Wilmot CJ in 1758, which effectively nullified a bill for passage of An Act for giving a more speedy Remedy to the Subject upon the Writ of Habeas Corpus. It made the argument that the writ allowed the judge only to ask for an explanation of why the prisoner was jailed known as the 'return'), not to debate whether that explanation was justified or to examine the facts of it ('controvert' it), which was the role of the jury.

There were several ways around that. One was "confessing and avoiding", introducing and discussing contradicting the facts reported by the jailer, but simply invalidating them. A second method was "proceeding by rule and motion"; by making a ruling that was independent of the return, the judges did not technically argue with the return or contradict it, but the same outcome was reached as if they had done so. That caused some concern because of feelings that it restricted the ability of the courts to deal with arguments over facts from the applicant for the writ. A bill was introduced in 1758 to resolve that but was rejected; a second bill was introduced in 1816 and passed, coming into law as the Habeas Corpus Act 1816. It explicitly allows judges to question and debate the facts laid out in a return, but it deliberately does not extend to criminal cases for fear that it could lead to a full trial being conducted just on the petition and return. It, however, seemingly applies if the petitioner or subject has been arrested for a criminal matter but not charged.

Judith Farbey, a barrister and commentator on the law of habeas corpus, argues that the law is pointless; almost anything that could be justified under the 1816 Act could also be justified by classifying the fact that the judge wants to discuss as a "jurisdictional fact", another way of permitting debate. Paul D. Halliday, a professor of history at the University of Virginia agreed, arguing that "all these usages had been available at common law, and there is reason to question the status this act has traditionally received". The end result, though, was that "the rule against controverting the return may safely be regarded as a harmless relic of the past". Outside United Kingdom, legislation in various British territories and dominions ensured that it was enshrined in much Commonwealth law, including that of Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. Outside those jurisdictions in which it had a direct effect, it was still influential and was "soon duplicated in most American states".

title: Ji (surname 冀)

text:
Jì is the Mandarin pinyin romanization of the Chinese surname written  in Chinese character. It is romanized as Chi in Wade–Giles, and Kei in Cantonese. Ji is the 294th most common surname in China, with a population of 160,000. It is listed 316th in the Song dynasty classic text Hundred Family Surnames.

Demographics
As of 2008, Ji 冀 is the 294th most common surname in China, shared by 160,000 people, or 0.013% of the Chinese population. It is concentrated in the provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan. Shanxi has the highest number of people with the surname, accounting for 29% of the total.

Origins
According to tradition, there are three main origins of the Ji 冀 surname:

1. According to the Song dynasty text Lushi, King Wu of Zhou (reigned 1046–1043 BC) enfeoffed a descendant of Emperor Yao at the state of Ji 冀, located in present-day Jishan or Anze County, Shanxi province. During the Spring and Autumn period, Ji was conquered by the neighbouring state of Jin, a major power of the time. The people of Ji subsequently adopted the name of their former state as their surname.

2. After Jin conquered the state of Ji, the Duke of Jin enfeoffed his minister Xi Rui (郤芮, died 636 BC) at Ji, Xi Rui was subsequently also called Ji Rui, and his descendants adopted the name of his fief as their surname.

3. A third origin of the Ji surname is the state of Song of the Zhou dynasty. A branch of the ruling house of Song adopted Ji as their surname, and this source of Ji is a branch of Zi, the ancestral name of the lords of Song.

title: Hyporhina

text:
Hyporhina is an extinct genus of amphisbaenians or worm lizards that lived from the Late Eocene to the Middle Oligocene (approximately 40 to 30 million years ago) in what is now the western United States.

Species
It currently includes two species, both from the White River Formation in eastern Wyoming and northeastern Colorado:
 Hyporhina antiqua — the type species.
 Hyporhina galbreathi
 Hyporhina tertia — a third species named in 1972, and later synonymized with Hyporhina galbreathi.

Taxonomy
Paleontologist Georg Baur named the genus Hyporhina in 1893, making it one of the first prehistoric amphisbaenians to be described. Baur placed it in its own family, Hyporhinidae, because it possessed eye sockets that are enclosed at the back by postorbital bars, a feature that living amphisbaenians lack.

However, more recent studies have placed it within Rhineuridae, a family that includes the living Rhineura floridana from Florida, and many more extinct species from the western United States that were named after 1893 and have postorbital bars. Hyporhina differs from other rhineurids in having a steep angle to its snout.

title: Galantis

text:
Galantis is the Swedish group of electronic music  of record producer Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson. Formerly, it was a duo, alongside rising musician Style of Eye, until he decided to part ways with the project shortly after their sophomore album The Aviary in 2017. However, he made appearances in live performances and music videos as part of the project up until 2021.

Galantis had their first international success with "Runaway (U & I)" released in 2014, followed by "Peanut Butter Jelly" and "No Money".

Members

Christian Karlsson

Christian Karlsson has worked with the producing team Bloodshy & Avant, and with the Swedish indie pop band Miike Snow. Karlsson has co-written and co-produced tracks for artists such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue and Madonna. Specifically, Karlsson co-wrote the Britney Spears single "Toxic", which eventually earned an Ivor Novello award (for songwriting and composition) and a Grammy for Best Dance Recording. Karlsson is also a founding member of Swedish artist collective and record label Ingrid.

Linus Eklöw

Style of Eye, Linus Eklöw's stage name, co-wrote and produced Icona Pop's song "I Love It" featuring Charli XCX. Style of Eye, a Sundsvall-born and Stockholm-based DJ and producer, resides in the techno genre and comes from the underground scene. He explores a range of musical styles, from techno to house via distinct percussion and minimal, floating melodies. After growing up in a jazz and soul oriented family and playing a drumkit at age 10, Eklöw transitioned to electronic music after getting his first computer aged 15 and making "weird downtempo dubbeat and trip hop". DJing upbeat drum and bass followed at 16, and Linus moved into studio production with releases and remixes on such labels as Classic Recordings, Tiny Sticks and Rabid Records.

History

2007–2012: Early career
The duo initially met by chance at Karlsson's Robotberget studios in Stockholm, sometime in 2007. In 2009, Karlsson's band Miike Snow asked Eklöw, who produces and DJs as Style of Eye, to remix their song "Animal". After that, the two started hanging out in the studio together, playing each other songs and scraps of ideas. Explaining what drew him to Eklöw, Karlsson says, "He's an amazing programmer and designer of soundscapes. It was artsy, in a way. He was different."

There were many unfinished ideas that the pair fiddled with and then abandoned, but it wasn't until sometime in 2012 that things really came together, when they stopped the loop-based and software- approach common in modern dance music and switched to Karlsson's usual method of beginning a song on guitar or piano. The duo figured out their own approach—once they create a foundation with a simple arrangement, they build it up with stirring keyboards, monumental drums, imploring vocals and inventive flourishes. "We keep the song naked, and when we feel like we have the right one, we put some clothes on it and see how it feels," says Karlsson. "We realized, this is Galantis, this is our band," Karlsson adds.

2013–2014: "You", "Smile", Galantis EP, "Runaway (U & I)", and international breakthrough
The duo signed to Atlantic Records' dance imprint Big Beat Records in mid-2013. Recording in a studio in the Swedish archipelago in the Baltic Sea, the duo began to focus heavily on their artistic direction. They opt to combine the excitement and big energy of electronic music with meaningful songwriting. The first composition they agreed upon was "Smile". After that, their direction became clear. "We felt the urge to fill the dance world up with songs and with songwriting that created our sound," says Eklöw.

Karlsson has said: "We always start with the song. We use guitar, piano, and bass lines we don't keep to figure out which clothes we're going to put on each melody and lyric. I think that's different than a lot of others in the dance scene. They have a beat they love and then force a top line on top of it. I feel like that makes it sound like a remix. I'd rather do it our way, it's more fun too." The first single with Big Beat Records, "Smile", was released that following November. Its controversial video premiered on Stereogum. "Smile" received several remixes from various artists, and an extended mix by dance music heavyweight Kaskade.

"Smile" also marked the first instance of the "Seafox", a creature that is the brainchild of visual artist Mat Maitland. The "Seafox" is the Galantis mascot, appearing in their videos, cover art and their live show.

In February, the duo released their second single "You". The track was subsequently played heavily during Ultra Music Festival and Miami Music Week, becoming the 8th most Shazamed track at the festival. Their debut self-titled EP Galantis was released on 1 April 2014.

Galantis had international success with their single "Runaway (U & I)", which debuted on 5 October 2014. The single is the second single from their debut album Pharmacy. The song subsequently went to the top of Spotify's Global and US Viral charts and became a top 10 Spotify track in the Netherlands, Belgium and Finland. In America, the track peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart. "Runaway (U & I)" has been certified Gold in Finland, 3× Gold in the Netherlands and Platinum in Norway and Sweden.
Galantis released the single "Gold Dust" on 19 February 2015, through Stereogum and reached number 1 on Hype Machine's Popular Chart.

Karlsson and Eklöw said: "When we started Galantis, we set out to challenge each other and experiment with all of the sounds and ideas that we find exciting. We built a studio on a small island in the Baltic Sea and our surroundings became a source of inspiration for the EP."

The first song, "Smile", has been featured by Kaskade, Diplo, Tiesto, Dada Life, Steve Angello, and Pete Tong, who featured it as an "Essential Tune", a feature on his BBC Radio 1 show. Their single "You" follows with a piano and vocal hook with the custom "Galantis filter", which blends male and female vocals together. Their song "Revolution" contains synths and a beat with an intended message of never giving up on your ambitions. "Help" follows and builds a piano melody into an anthem of resiliency. "Friend (Hard Times)" pairs a vocal with a deep house groove, while "The Heart That I'm Hearing" contains synths and a skittering rhythm.

2015: Pharmacy
Galantis released their debut album Pharmacy on 8 June 2015. The album was available for pre-order on 20 April 2015.

Their performance garnered praise from Dancing Astroaut, LA Times and Billboard, among others. Dubbed 'Seafoxchella', their live set debuted original songs and remixes from such genres as pop, electro, and house. The duo played an hour-long set at the Gobi Tent, with live controllers, visuals, and seafox stage set. Highlights included their single "Smile", as well as remixes to their other tune, "You". Following the second weekend of the festival, the duo kicked off their first live tour with a string of dates in North America.

Galantis have performed at Cochella 2014, and recently in 2017. The group's performances are characterized by them waving seafox flags, jumping from the stage, and doing other stunts that increase the energy of their shows.

The duo have begun another world tour in support of their second album, The Aviary. The tour begins in United States at Ultra Music Festival as they travel across the country before returning to Europe.

title: Dada Masiti

text:
Mana Sitti Habib Jamaladdin () ( 1810s – 15 July 1919), commonly known as Dada Masiti ("Grandmother Masiti"), was a Somali poet, mystic and Islamic scholar. She composed her poetry in the Bravanese dialect spoken in Barawa.

Biography
Dada Masiti was born Mana Sitti Habib Jamaladdin in the 1810s in Barawa (Brava), a coastal town in southern Somalia. Her family on both sides hailed from the Mahadali Ashraf clan. Her mother's maternal grandfather also belonged to the Ali Naziri Ashraf, which commanded more influence in the area and was the larger of the two subclans. The Ashraf had first established residence in Barawa around the start of the 1600s, and ultimately traced their lineage to the Prophet Muhammad. Like the claims of other Somali clans in this regard, this alleged genealogy is historically untenable.

What is known about Dada Masiti's early years is exclusively derived from different oral traditions. Accounts endorsed by descendants of her nearer relatives indicate that she was kidnapped and taken to Zanzibar. While she had been abducted, the kidnapping occurred while she was a teenager and was carried out with her consent by a suitor that her family had turned down as a potential husband. The two eloped and were wed in Pate. Their relationship shortly afterwards fell apart, and she was then reportedly held in a manner approaching slavery for around ten years. She eventually succeeded in escaping, and her maternal cousin Omar Qullatten, who at the time resided in Zanzibar, came to her rescue. Dada Masiti herself appears to confirm this version of events in her poetry since she alludes to having been led astray by worldly lures, and expresses contrition and a desire to atone for her deeds. Her poems also mention Omar Qullatten by name, and repeatedly request that God bless him. Dada Masiti never remarried and bore no children.

Dada Masiti immersed herself in religious studies under a Sheikh Mohammed Janna al-Bahluli. A follower of the Qadiriyya, her poetry demonstrates a detailed understanding of the Quran and Sunnah. Poetry dedicated to her by her contemporaries gives evidence that she was well-respected. Sheikh Qasim Muhyiddin al-Barawi referred to her as a "treasure to be jealously preserved".

Dada Masiti's most famous poem was "After Life, Comes Death: When the Sheikh Dies, No One Should Weep", composed for her friend, the jurist Sheikh Nureni Mohammed Sabir. She also composed "Shaikhi Chifa isiloowa", a eulogy for Sheikh Nurein Ahmed al-Sabir al-Hatimy. Many of her contemporaries committed to memory her poetry, particularly women. Her verse still figures prominently in the poetic annals of Barawa.

After her death, Dada Masiti was buried on the site of her small house in Barawa. An annual ziyārah to her shrine is observed in the town.

title: Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.

text:
Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., known in Japan with the subtitle Lincoln vs. Aliens (リンカーン VS エイリアン Rinkān Bāsasu Eirian), is a turn-based strategy video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. The story is set in an alternate steampunk-based history and features a Silver Age comic book art style and a cast of characters from across American literature and folklore. The gameplay blends turn-based strategy with third-person shooter elements in a similar vein to the Valkyria Chronicles series.

Gameplay

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is a turn-based strategy game controlled in the style of a third-person shooter, similar to Sega's Valkyria Chronicles series. The gameplay involves a team of characters controlled by the player known as the "Agents of S.T.E.A.M." facing off against an opposing team of alien invaders. For the player, both movement and attacking requires the use of "steam", a resource that depletes whenever a character moves around or uses their weapon, in the latter case depending on the type of weapon be used. By saving up the same amount of steam required for the character's weapon to be used, certain characters can perform "overwatch attacks" during the opponent's turn, letting them attack enemies that wander into their line of sight with the added potential to stun them for the rest of the turn. However, the opposing alien team can also perform this strategy, so caution is encouraged. Before each level, the player selects up to four characters, with more becoming available as the story progresses. Each character has their own unique primary weapon that suit different play styles and strategies and a secondary sub-weapon that can be swapped between characters before each level. Every character also has a unique innate ability that remains active even during the enemy's turn, such as moving around crates, passively buffing nearby allies, or surviving potentially lethal blows. Finally, each character has a unique special move that can be used once per level and does not cost any steam. These special moves range from area-of-effect attacks to temporarily buffing or healing party members.

The main campaign is divided into chapters which are subdivided into levels, with mission objectives such as reaching the goal, saving a number of civilians, or escorting a character to safety. Throughout each level, the player can collect gears and medals scattered across the map. Gears are rarer and hidden in each level, while medals are scattered throughout and can also be earned by defeating enemies, more if they are defeated with overwatch attacks. In between levels, gears are used to unlock "boilers" that can alter characters' stats and the amount of steam available, while medals are used to unlock further sub-weapons and can be used at checkpoints mid-match to save the game, heal themselves, or restore fallen allies. Twelve playable characters are unlocked over the course of the story, but if the player manages to collect a grand total of 100,000 medals during gameplay, a thirteenth character is unlocked: a smaller version of the A.B.E. mech called "Stovepipe" (named after Lincoln's hat). Upon clearing a chapter in the campaign for the first time, that chapter can be revisited in harder challenge missions, such as by making steam and enemy health bars invisible or removing backtracking. Completing the chapter under these stipulations rewards the player with a medal bonus.

Beyond the main campaign, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. includes local and online multiplayer with three different gameplay modes. The first is a simple deathmatch mode where two players face off with their squads of four, with the added element of a 60-second turn timer. The second is "Medal Battle", which tasks the player to collect more medals than their opponent in only 5 turns. A small medal bonus can also be earned for taking out enemy soldiers. The third is "A.B.E. Battle", which pits two players against each other in giant A.B.E. mechs in real-time combat. Matchmaking online can be done either with random people or in tournaments, and medals earned in online matches can be transferred to the main campaign. The game is also compatible with Amiibo figures, allowing players to play as Marth (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal), Ike (voiced by Jason Adkins), Robin (voiced by David Vincent), and Lucina (voiced by Laura Bailey) from the Fire Emblem series by scanning their corresponding figures. Unlike the other S.T.E.A.M. members, the Fire Emblem characters cannot be revived at checkpoints should they fall in battle, and they must be revived by scanning their respective Amiibo figures again. Additionally, the Fire Emblem characters are not involved in the main storyline, and their equipment cannot be removed or swapped out.

Synopsis
The game's narrative framing device is that it is a comic book being read to the player. The story opens in a steampunk fantasy version of London on the opening day of the Steamgate Bridge. Henry Fleming (based on the protagonist of the same name from the novel The Red Badge of Courage and voiced by Adam Baldwin) is going over security detail at the American Embassy, when suddenly the city is attacked by an unknown enemy force. He manages to escape and meet up with his old friend John Henry (voiced by Michael Dorn). The two are then rescued by an airship called the Lady Liberty, captained by the once-presumed-dead President Abraham Lincoln (voiced by Wil Wheaton). He explains that the city is under attack by aliens and conscripts the two into the strike force S.T.E.A.M. (short for Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace).

After rescuing Queen Victoria with the help of Lion (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,  Tiger Lily from Peter Pan (voiced by Kari Wahlgren), and Tom Sawyer (voiced by Jeremy Shada), the soldiers are eventually forced to leave England to its fate and retreat to America. They are delayed by a giant monster that is defeated by Lincoln himself in his giant mech, the A.B.E. (Anthropomorphized Battle Engine). They swing by Boston in order to help the forces there and meet up with Queequeg (voiced by T.J. Storm). They then receive a distress call from Professor Randolph Carter (voiced by James Urbaniak) of Miskatonic University, S.T.E.A.M.'s expert on the occult. They meet Lion's friend Scarecrow (voiced by Paul Eiding) on the way there and manage to evacuate the university with Carter in tow. However, before they can get on the Lady Liberty, Carter's notes are taken by a mysterious creature called a Starface who then flees the scene.

Carter says to Lincoln that the aliens were not just after his research, but also the Necronomicon which has led to numerous discoveries that have improved technology manifold. It was kept at Miskatonic until recently and the team sets forth for its current location: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, directly under the White House. They manage to get to the White House, meeting with dashing thief the Fox (voiced by Grey DeLisle) and warrior queen Califia (voiced by Kimberly Brooks). While they do keep the Necronomicon from the hands of the enemy, they unfortunately have to abandon the capital.

With the Necronomicon, Carter concludes that the source of the threat is the Great Shugguth, a creature that can perpetually create soldiers, left behind by the aliens 200 million years ago for reasons unknown. The Shugguth is buried underneath the South Pole so the team stops by Monument Valley to repair and refuel. However, their base comes under attack and they barely manage to escape with the help of the cyborg Tin Man (voiced by Andrew Kishino) and Lincoln critically injured.

When all hope seems lost, a strange light appears in the Lady Liberty, revealing none other than Dorothy Gale (voiced by Amber Hood) who takes the team to Oz which is also under attack. They save Queen Ozma whose engineers at Oz manage to upgrade A.B.E. so it is capable of drilling through the ice in the South Pole as well as giving them emerald keys so they can teleport instantly between two points in space. Returning to Earth, they hear from General Ulysses S. Grant that half the planet has been frozen over and that they are running out of time.

Fighting through the aliens' lair, they manage to confront the Starface and defeat it, though the Shugguth turns mad and goes on a rampage. Lincoln faces off against the great beast, but in its death throes it intends to take out the entire planet. Lincoln then self-destructs A.B.E., destroying the Shugguth but at the cost of his own life. With the planet saved, S.T.E.A.M. pays their final farewells to Lincoln, throwing a bouquet into the great chasm where he made his last stand and are joined by other airships doing the same. A post-credits sequence reveals Lincoln's stovepipe hat, but an emerald key is nearby, hinting that he may have survived. The comic is then turned over to its final pages, revealing a new story arc is coming.

Development
This game marks the directorial debut of Paul Patrashcu, who had been with Intelligent Systems for eight years at that point. As with all of Nintendo's outside collaborations, the project was overseen by Nintendo's Software Planning & Development division under veteran producer Hitoshi Yamagami, who also oversees development of series such as Fire Emblem, Pokémon, and Xenoblade Chronicles. The first pitch began with the words "Steampunk Civil War", according to the director's explanation at Nintendo's E3 2014 developer roundtable where the game was first unveiled to the press.

Yamagami and Patrashcu, the latter of whom had a personal fondness for strategy games, wanted to make a game that was accessible to a broader group of people who previously found strategy games unappealing by removing certain abstractions that had been established in the genre, such as a heavy reliance on overhead maps and a general distance from the character units themselves. Thus the idea was born to use an over-the-shoulder third-person camera that would serve as the player's only way of seeing around the map, directly putting them in the respective character's shoes. That is also where the influence from third-person shooter games comes into play, with the direct control over the aiming reticle of the character's guns being in the player's hands, just like in a traditional shooter game. All of these mechanics were blended together under the familiar turn-based system of other strategy games, like Intelligent Systems's own Fire Emblem and Advance Wars series, or contemporaries such as XCOM and Valkyria Chronicles, resulting in a strategy game which aims to offer both a lot of depth and be welcoming to previously disinterested players.

Takao Sakai, the game's art director, explained that the art style was heavily influenced by the Silver Age of comic books, such as the works of Jack Kirby as well as more recent comic creators like Bruce Timm and Mike Mignola. The designs for the enemy alien characters were heavily influenced by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

Reception

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. has earned aggregate critic scores of 68% from GameRankings and a 69 out of 100 from Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average" reception. Ben Moore from GameTrailers called it "a complex game that's hard to put down," praising the varied gameplay and character progression systems, and the game's "absurd moments that keep things entertaining". GameRevolutions Ryan Bates enjoyed the level strategy that fans of the genre will "eat up" while "non-strategy gamers will find it easier to understand and get into than other current offerings". Henery Gilbert from GamesRadar praised the design and setting of a "unique world full of memorable characters," the gameplay mechanics, and "the odd team of steampunk weirdos really mixes up the gameplay to make for some impactful action, and the dense maps belie a raft of colorful design". Kimberley Wallace from Game Informer said the game's "biggest assets are its variety and unpredictability" in missions and strategies. IGNs Jose Otero enjoyed the design of the characters and gameplay options, calling the arsenal itself "wacky, but also extremely deep," though he felt that the enemies were less memorable visually than the playable characters. Otero noted the lack of an overhead map or view feature, feeling that it made players "have to think carefully" to avoid ambushes and make counters.

Austin Walker from GameSpot considered the lack of an overhead option as encouraging a "slow, dreary march forward" approach, while deeming the level design "uninspired" and the story "underdeveloped," as it "turns its back ... in favor of pure aestheticization". Kyle MacGregor from Destructoid enjoyed the gameplay as "a heady, engrossing experience" yet was critical of the enemy turns having a protracted length, being "hellaciously long". Justin McElroy from Polygon called the gameplay "annoying" and admitted that he didn't finish the game, calling it a "misguided, horrifically dull debacle". Nintendo would later release an update that addressed significant downtime by allowing the player to fast-forward through enemy turns. As such, McElroy updated his review to be more favorable towards the game, stating that it was "a whole lot easier to deal with its faults after the patch and, by extension, a whole lot easier to recommend" the game.

In its first week on sale in Japan, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. sold fewer than 1,865 copies at retail.

Legacy
Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. was the first video game to debut Marth's current English voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, who has since reprised his role in all future English-speaking appearances.

The game also received minor representation in the 2018 Nintendo Switch crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Henry Fleming appears as a Spirit and four music tracks from the game were included, including three tracks based on themes from the Fire Emblem series.
