title: Gordon M. Keller

text:
Gordon M. Keller is a Canadian scientist recognized for his  research on applying developmental biology findings to in vitro pluripotent stem cell differentiation. He is currently a Senior Scientist at the Ontario Cancer Institute, a Professor at the University of Toronto and the director of the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine.

Biography
Keller was born in 1952 in Saskatchewan and was raised on a farm. He completed his Bachelor of Science at the University of Saskatchewan. He completed his PhD in Immunology at the University of Alberta in 1979, and completed his postdoctoral fellowship with the Ontario Cancer Institute in 1983. He then began his career in Switzerland and Austria. In 1990, he moved to the United States. Initially, Keller was at the National Jewish Centre for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine in Denver, CO and later moved to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, NY. In 2007, Keller returned to Canada to assume his current role and established his laboratory at the MaRS Centre/Toronto Medical Discovery Tower. In 2016, Keller co-founded Toronto-based BlueRock Therapeutics with Lorenz Studer for the development of iPSC-derived cells for clinical transplantation.

Scientific research
In 1997, Keller's team was the first to successfully isolate the developmentally significant hemangioblast—a  multipotent precursor cell that can differentiate to the hematopoietic and endothelial cell fates—using embryonic stem cell technology.

Currently, the Keller group's research includes the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to the endodermal lineage: hepatocytes, cholangiocytes and pancreatic progenitors; as well as to mesodermal cell fates: cardiomyocytes, chondrocytes, T lymphocytes and myeloid precursors.

Honours
Keller holds a Tier I Canada Research Chair in Embryonic Stem Cell Biology (2013-2020). He serves on the Scientific Advisory Boards of the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine and Stemgent, and is also a founding member and past president (2005-2006) of the International Society for Stem Cell Research. In addition, he is a senior editor for the journal Development.

title: Kalthoon

text:
Kalthoon () is a 1981 Indian Tamil-language drama film, directed by Major Sundarrajan. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan, K. R. Vijaya and Sundarrajan. It is based on the play of the same name. The film was released on 1 May 1981 and become a hit at the box-office, running for over 100 days in theaters.

Plot

Parameshwaran Goundar, a farmer and a respectable honorable village chieftain, with much difficulty, sells his land to make Pazhanisamy, his youngest son, a doctor. He has two other sons, one adopted and one of his own. The younger son, however, turns out to be a womanizer though he tops in his college, much to the chagrin of father.

Parameshwaran's father too was a playboy and womanizer who murdered his own wife, Parameshwaran's mother, when she tries to stop him. Parameshwaran had murdered his own father not as vengeance but when his father's activities turn to ruin the village's reputation, his father being a chieftain. He serves his term and becomes the respectable chieftain for putting justice, respect and honour over family.

Seeing his third son follow suit of his father on account of his arrogance wrought by his education makes him hit him in front of the entire college. This turns the son against his entire family. The end is whether Parameshwaran Goundar delivers justice by killing his own son, as he did with his father, or the son relents and mends his ways.

title: Erechthias lychnopa

text:
Erechthias lychnopa is a species of moth in the family Tineidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and has only been collected in a karaka grove at Sinclair Head in Wellington in November . It has yet to be collected again. It has been hypothesised that the larvae inhabit dead wood. It is classified as "Data Deficient" by the Department of Conservation.

Taxonomy
It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1927 from a specimen collected by George Hudson in November, in a karaka grove, near Sinclair Head, Wellington. Hudson discussed and illustrated this species in his 1928 publication The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand. The holotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London.

Description

Meyrick described the species as follows:
In appearance this species is very similar to Erechthias externalla however it can be distinguished from this species as it is much larger.

Distribution

This species is endemic to New Zealand. It has only been found at Sinclair Head, in Wellington.

Biology and behaviour
The larvae of this species are likely to inhabit dead wood. The adult moths are on the wing in November. The habitat these moths have frequented is scrub forest.

Conservation status
This species has been classified as having the "Data Deficient" conservation status under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. E. lychnopa has yet to be found again since being first collected in November in shrubland at Sinclair Head.

Team SmartStop was directed by former professional cyclist Mike Creed, who in his own right had a very successful international cycling career. After coming on board with Team SmartStop and changing the program to a stage racing team, Creed led the team to many victories in 2014 including the USA Pro Road Race National Championships and the UCI America's Tour. It disbanded after the 2015 season. In January of 2016 riders came forward saying their wages for 2015 had not been fully paid yet.

title: Regulation and Supervision Bureau

text:
The Regulation and Supervision Bureau is the independent regulator for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi responsible for the oversight of water, wastewater and electricity.

History
The Regulation and Supervision Bureau was founded in 1999 following the passing of an Emirate law reference Law No (2) of 1998. During 1997 and 1998 a privatisation committee was formed by the Abu Dhabi Government to study the UK model of un-bundling and privatisation of the then Water and Electricity Department (WED) which was a government owned vertically integrated organisation. Eventually, the WED Sector was broken into 12 companies including: production (4 off), transmission(TRANSCO), distribution and supply (2 off: ADDC and AADC) a single buyer and a number of smaller companies such as the remote services and islands grouping(RASCO, later merged into ADDC/AADC).

One of the guiding principles of the new law was the promotion of privately funded power and water production companies, generally referred to as independent water and power producers (IWPPs). As of August 2014 10 such companies have been established using project finance as the basis for a build, own and operate BOO model. The latest addition being Al Mirfa located some 120 km West of the capital Abu Dhabi.

Income Structure
The Regulation and Supervision Bureau (RSB) is not funded by the Government of Abu Dhabi but by the application of licence fees to licence holders. As of August 2014, there are over 40 licence holders in the Sector.

title: Alabama Ballet

text:
The Alabama Ballet is a ballet company in Alabama, United States.

History
Prior to the establishment of Alabama Ballet, there were three smaller ballet companies in the state of Alabama: the Birmingham Civic Ballet, the University of Alabama at Birmingham Ballet and Ballet Alabama. In 1981, dancers Sonia Arova and Thor Sutowski decided to start a bona fide ballet company in the state and created Alabama Ballet. Fifteen years later, in 1996, Wes Chapman and Roger Van Fleteren became co-directors of the company. Nearly a decade later, in 2005, Tracey Alvey became Ballet Mistress and, two years later, Artistic Director. After Chapman left, Van Fleteren became Associate Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer. Moreover, Leslie Fillmer serves as a music composer for the company.

One of its annual performances is The Nutcracker as choreographed by George Balanchine (1904-1983). Indeed, it is one of only six ballet companies in the world licensed to perform it. The company has also performed choreographic renditions of Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Since 1997, in conjunction with the Gorham Bluff's Institute, it has organized a summer residency in Gorham's Bluff, Alabama, overlooking the Tennessee River Valley.

Additionally, the company runs a school for children ages 3 to 18.

title: Vascular corrosion casting

text:
Vascular corrosion casting uses resin to capture the 3D structure of blood vessels within human and animal tissue. It is widely used in research as a technique for obtaining the volume and surface area of the blood vessel network within an organ. The earliest known use of corrosion casting was by Robert Boyle in 1663.

Technique
Vascular corrosion casting requires the use of a solidifying material such as a resin. The most common resin used for vascular corrosion casting is Batson's 17. The process begins with the draining of blood from vessels to prevent blockage from clotting, this can be achieved by perfusing blood vessels with a physiological fluid such as phosphate buffered saline. Subsequently, the blood vessels of interest are filled with resin (or alternative solidifying material). The resin is allowed to cure resulting in the blood vessel network containing a solid plastic material. Surrounding tissue is dissolved away using a corrosive chemical, commonly potassium hydroxide. Corrosion should not affect the resin, only dissolving tissue. The final product is a 3D network of blood vessels.

title: Singapore and the United Nations

text:
The Republic of Singapore officially became the 117th member of the United Nations (UN) after its independence on August 9, 1965. From 2001 to 2002, Singapore held a rotational seat on the United Nations Security Council and has participated in UN peacekeeping/observer missions in Kuwait, Angola, Kenya, Cambodia and Timor Leste.

History
Before independence, Singapore had merged with the Federation of Malaya with North Borneo and Sarawak to form Malaysia on August 31, 1963 and at that time, the Federation of Malaya was already a member of the UN. Due to distrust and ideological differences between leaders of the State of Singapore and the federal government of Malaysia, Singapore became an independent state about 2 years after the union, on August 9, 1965.

Requirements for joining the United Nations under the UN Charter of the time required sponsorship by minimum of 2 members on the United Nations Security Council, support from the members on the council and about 67% of the votes during the United Nations General Assembly to be successfully admitted into the organisation. After independence, Singapore applied to join the UN on September 2, 1965 with the sponsorship of Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Ivory Coast and Jordan. On September 20, 1965, Singapore's admission to the UN was put into vote in the security council and the result of the vote was unanimous. Singapore was then officially registered as a member of the UN on September 21, 1965, with Abu Bakar bin Pawanchee serving as the first permanent representative to the UN.

In 1969, the United Nations Association of Singapore was set up as part of the World Federation of United Nations Associations, which is part of 'The Third United Nations'.

Since then, Singapore has been actively participating in UN peacekeeping operations. In 1997, the country became only the seventh country to sign the Memorandum of Understanding on UN Standby Arrangements.

Activities

Security Council
During the 2000 United Nations Security Council election, Singapore was elected as one of the five non-permanent members of the UN Security Council and served a two-year term from 2001 to 2002. In January 2001 and May 2002, Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani, the permanent representative of Singapore then, served as the President of the United Nations Security Council together with Ambassador S. Jayakumar. During Singapore's time on the security council, it managed to lobbied for a time extension for the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor until East Timor's independence, despite objection from a permanent member on the council.

Peacekeeping and observer missions
Since 1989, Singapore has taken part in 17 peacekeeping and observer missions with personnel from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and Singapore Police Force (SPF). Singapore's first peacekeeping mission was to oversee Namibia’s transition to independence, was in response to an urgent call for help from then UN General-Secretary Javier Perez de Cuellar on March 29, 1989. A total of 30 personnel from the SPF was sent on the mission and the country also contributed S$172,652 to the operations of the United Nations Transition Assistance Group.

Singapore has taken part in the following peacekeeping and observer missions led by the UN.

Notification of Casualties application
In December 2015, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Singapore and the United Nations to develop an information management tool to aid in peacekeeping operations. The main functionality of the software is to allow the reporting of casualty for personnel serving in peacekeeping operations, which will be then accessed by authorized users in the UN Headquarters in New York, and all Peacekeeping and Special Political Missions. The tool was developed by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (UN DPKO) and the UN Department of Field Support (UN DFS) and was launched in May 2017. The launch of the software was officiated by Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations in a ceremony in New York.

Representation
Singapore maintains 3 permanent missions to the UN and 1 permanent delegate to UNESCO. The 3 permanent missions to the UN are located in New York, which is headed by Ambassador Burhan Gafoor, Geneva, which is headed by Ambassador Tan Hung Seng and lastly at Vienna, which is headed by Ambassador Umej Singh Bhatia. The permanent mission in Vienna, also serves as the country's representative to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency. The non-resident permanent delegate to UNESCO is represented by Ambassador Rosa Huey Daniel.

title: Privacy Badger

text:
Privacy Badger is a free and open-source browser extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Firefox for Android created by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).  Its purpose is to promote a balanced approach to internet privacy between consumers and content providers by blocking advertisements and tracking cookies that do not respect the Do Not Track setting in a user's web browser.  A second purpose, served by free distribution, has been to encourage membership in and donation to the EFF.

Description
The EFF states: "If an advertiser seems to be tracking you across multiple websites without your permission, Privacy Badger automatically blocks that advertiser from loading any more content in your browser. To the advertiser, it's like you suddenly disappeared."  Privacy Badger works by detecting the presence of content loaded from third-party domains when you visit a website, then blocking those domains which are determined to be tracking you.  Controls on the software allow selective blocking of the third-party domains based on user preference.  While some of its code is based on Adblock Plus, Privacy Badger only blocks those ads which come with embedded trackers.

Privacy Badger has been noted as one recommended tool in a set of tools to protect online privacy.

In October 2020, following security disclosures by the Google Security Team, Privacy Badger changed its default behavior. While it would previously learn to block new trackers heuristically after installed, it now defaults to blocking only trackers it already knows from automated testing before release. While it can still be configured to learn heuristically, it is no longer the default option because it can be exploited by third-parties to fingerprint the user based on trackers it blocks.

History
The alpha version was released on 1 May 2014, followed by a beta on 21 July 2014.  In April 2017, the EFF announced that Privacy Badger had surpassed one million users.

Reception
Several publications reported on Privacy Badger in May 2014, following its alpha release.

Ian Paul, for PC World, mentions that Privacy Badger "only blocks third-party tracking, not first party", and mentions that prevention of browser fingerprinting is planned for a future release.

Ars Technica notes that if an advertiser makes a commitment to respect Do Not Track requests, their cookies will be unblocked from Privacy Badger.

Nathan Willis, writing for LWN.net, describes the green, yellow, and red sliders of the Privacy Badger menu as being a "nice visualization aid", making it easy for the user to toggle the trackers on and off, if desired – describing it as much easier to browse through than ad blocking add-on interfaces.

Kif Leswing writing for Gigaom writes, "Privacy Badger’s blacklist is generated through heuristic blocking, which means it gets better the longer it is used", and wrote in May 2014 that Privacy Badger "breaks a lot of websites", but considers it important as it is created by a nonprofit organization, and sums it up as "more than good enough".

Similar blockers
Privacy Badger belongs to a class of free tracker blockers which function as web browser plugins. tracker blockers similar to Privacy Badger include Disconnect, uBlock Origin, Redmorph and Ghostery.  Privacy Badger has also been compared favorably to Blur, which has an annual subscription fee.

title: Cape

text:
A cape is a clothing accessory or a sleeveless outer garment which drapes the wearer's back, arms, and chest, and connects at the neck.

History

Capes were common in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood in the chaperon. They have had periodic returns to fashion – for example, in nineteenth-century Europe. Catholic clergy wear a type of cape known as a ferraiolo, which is worn for formal events outside a ritualistic context. The cope is a liturgical vestment in the form of a cape. Capes are often highly decorated with elaborate embroidery. Capes remain in regular use as rainwear in various military units and police forces, in France for example. A gas cape was a voluminous military garment designed to give rain protection to someone wearing the bulky gas masks used in twentieth-century wars.

Rich noblemen and elite warriors of the Aztec Empire would wear a tilmàtli; a Mesoamerican cloak/cape used as a symbol of their upper status. Cloth and clothing was of utmost importance to the Aztecs. The more elaborate and colorful tilmàtlis were strictly reserved for elite high priests, emperors; and the eagle warriors as well as jaguar warriors.

Semantic distinction

In fashion, the word "cape" usually refers to a shorter garment and "cloak" to a full-length version of the different types of garment, though the two terms are sometimes used synonymously for full-length coverings. A shoulder cape is thus sometimes called a "capelet". The fashion cape does not cover the front to any appreciable degree. In raingear, a cape is usually a long and roomy protective garment worn to keep one dry in the rain.

Use in formal wear
In full evening dress, ladies frequently use the cape as a fashion statement, or to protect the wearer or the fine fabrics of their evening-wear from the elements, especially where a coat would crush—or hide—the garment. These capes may be short (over the shoulders or to the waist) or a full-length cloak. Short capes were usually made of, or trimmed in, fur; however, because fur is less accepted as a fashion accessory in modern times, other expensive materials are substituted for it, with an opulent lining and trim. Typical fabrics used are velvet, silk, and satin. Capes are still authorized as an alternative to the more utilitarian trench coat for U.S. Army officers in mess dress, formal evening uniform.

The caped overcoat variant
Caped overcoats were popular for men during the Victorian era, with some caped Ulsters featuring multiple layered capes, and the Inverness coat (both formal evening and working day variants) had a cape. The Inverness coat is no longer commonly worn (though it has begun to be revived, on a limited scale, in steampunk fashion), and the Ulster lost its cape in the 1920s.

As protection
In modern times, capes are commonly used by hair and beauty salons for the purpose of hair styling services, in which usage they protect clothing from loose strands of hair being cut from the head and/or from the chemicals often used in such styling.

In fiction

The cape is a popular clothing item for superheroes (like Superman) in the American comic book genre. They are often used by comic book artists to create the illusion of motion in a still image. Most often, they are worn merely as a costume adornment. Other times, as in the case of Batman, The Shroud, Cloak of Cloak & Dagger and cloak of Doctor Strange the cape serves a functional purpose, such as gliding (Batman), transporting one to the Darkforce dimension (The Shroud), or initiating teleportation (Cloak). The supernatural character Spawn has a cape (actually a part of his living symbiotic costume) that obeys Spawn's mental commands, changing shape to scare, confuse or even kill would-be attackers, while Meta Knight of the Kirby franchise disguises his wings as a cape. Some media, such as Watchmen or The Incredibles, comment on the potentially lethal hazards of a cape.

text:
The Bradfords Group is a building supplies company with headquarters in Yeovil, Somerset. The business trades as Bradfords Building Supplies and Yeovil Plumbing Supplies in over 40 UK locations. In the year just ended (2018-2019)

History

There were Bradfords in Wiltshire from at least the 16th century. William Bradford, who was born in 1750 and lived at Thorney, married Ann Richards in 1782: she worked with her husband in running their business, which included coal merchants and quarries, until he died in 1806. Shortly after this she was joined by her son Job until her death in 1819.

In 1853 the Great Western Railway line was opened from Taunton to Yeovil, and Jabez Bradford started the Yeovil branch of the business. GWR came to an agreement with the Bradford family for sidings to be built near Yeovil Station; Jabez would be mayor of Yeovil from 1880-1882.

title: The Last Pool and Other Stories

text:
The Last Pool and Other Stories is a 1950 collection of short stories by the English author Patrick O'Brian. It was his first published book under that name (though he had published several works under his birth name Patrick Russ as a teenager). The thirteen stories are largely about rural experiences, focusing on hunting, shooting and fishing. Published by Secker and Warburg, the collection included several stories that would later be republished in The Walker and other stories. The collection was both a critical and financial success for O'Brian.

Contents
The collection includes the following stories:
"The Last Pool"
"The Green creature"
"The Returns"
"The Happy despatch"
"The Virtuous Pelga"
"The Drawing of the Curranwood badgers"
"It must have been a branch, they said"
"The Steep slope of Gally y Wenallt"
"The Long day running"
"Name calls"
"The Dawn flighting"
"The Trap"
"The Little death"

Themes and style
The writer and critic Steve Bodio described the stories as "some straight forward," and "some supernatural" and "uncanny" in the tradition of tales by T.H. White from the 1930s and Geoffrey Household from the 1950s. He noted that some have a "touch of terror."

The book was published when O'Brian's English birth was not well known, some reviewers focused on the "Irish" elements within the stories. In his book Sportsman's Library, Stephen Bodio described the book as capturing something Irish in its "uncanny atmosphere". And an Observer reviewer wrote  "This Charming book by an Irish sportsman is a genuine collection of tales of the Irish countryside."

Reception and success
Reviews of the collection were generally favourable. Both The Irish Times and the Irish novelist and playwright Lord Dunsany in The Observer gave positive reviews. The Western Morning News described the stories as taking "their tense drama in hunting, fishing and shooting, and their realism in the author's intimate knowledge." The reviewer particularly liked the story "The Trap" that had "rare poetical qualities" and that "exhibits a fine sense of period and of the mind of a dolish poacher". Bodio described the collection as containing "some of the best fishing and hunting writing I have seen".

Sales of the collection gave O'Brian more confidence in his writing, and he earned £30 beyond the advance from his publisher Secker and Warburg. According to his one of his biographers, Dean King, O'Brian used the advance to pay for hot water and electricity for the flat that he was living in with his wife.

title: Scott Owens (ice hockey)

text:
Scott Owens (born March 7, 1956) is an American former ice hockey player and coach. Owens was the long-time head coach of Colorado College.

Career
Scott Owens made his first appearance for the Colorado College (CC) Tigers during the 1975–76 season. While none of his four years saw CC finish with a winning record, they did earn their only conference title in school history in 1978. Once he had graduated, Owens became a player-assistant coach with TSV Kottern, which played in varying levels of West Germany's amateur leagues, for five years before returning to North America.

Owens' next job came in his home town of Madison as general manager for the newly formed Madison Capitols of the United States Hockey League (USHL). After two seasons, Owens also took the head coaching position with the Capitols, and under his leadership the team routinely finished in the top half of league standings. Owens left after the 1989–90 season to accept a position with the NCAA Wisconsin Badgers as an assistant under his old head coach Jeff Sauer. In 1991, he moved back to his alma mater Colorado College as an assistant coach. After four more seasons with the Tigers, Owens headed back to the USHL as head coach of the Des Moines Buccaneers.

Despite a rocky start that saw his first losing record as a head coach, Owen's tenure in Des Moines was even more successful than his time with the Capitols. In his third year, the Buccaneers won the Anderson Cup as the best regular season team and followed it up with a repeat performance in addition to a Clark Cup for winning the league title. Owens then returned Colorado College to take over as head coach. With the departed Don Lucia having revived the moribund program, Owens stepped in and had immediate success, making the NCAA tournament three straight years. The fourth year culminated with Peter Sejna, a player Owens had coached and recruited in Des Moines, winning the Hobey Baker Award, the first in school history.

Two years later, Owens has his best season with Colorado College, winning 31 games and qualifying for the 2005 Frozen Four with Colorado College's second Hobey Baker winner, Marty Sertich. After the success in his early years, Colorado College began to slip back into the rest of the pack. While still maintaining winning seasons over the next seven years, CC would only top 20 wins three times and win only one more game in the NCAA tournament before CC posted its first losing season in 20 years at 18–19–5 in 2012–13. The following year was much worse as the Tigers won only seven games and Owens then stepped down as head coach after 15 seasons. At the time of his resignation, Owens was both the longest tenured and winningest coach in Colorado College's ice hockey program history.

On May 21, 2015, Owens returned to coaching and the United States Hockey League when he was named head coach of the Sioux Falls Stampede. He retired from coaching on March 26, 2020, and returned to the Des Moines Buccaneers as general manager.

title: Pe'ahi (album)

text:
Pe'ahi is the seventh studio album by Danish indie rock duo The Raveonettes, and was released on 22 July 2014. Due to the purposeful lack of promotion or formal announcement of a release date, the album was dubbed a "surprise" release by the band. Pe'ahi received favorable reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number four in their native Denmark, and charted at number 161 on the Billboard 200 in the United States.

Background
After Sune Rose Wagner's father died suddenly in 2013, the band immersed themselves in Southern Californian surf culture. The album was created in early 2014 over four months working 12-hour days and is the first Raveonettes album to include musical elements such as harp, choirs, and staccato. Lyrically the album deals with tense subject matter such as Sune's near drowning in 2008 ("Endless Sleeper"), his difficult relationship with his father ("Kill!"), his father's death ("Summer Ends"), and infidelity ("Wake Me Up" and "A Hell Below").

The title of the album refers to a popular surfing spot in Maui.

title: Marianne Simmel

text:
Marianne Leonore Simmel (3 January 1923 – 24 March 2010) was a German-American psychologist with a special interest in cognitive neuropsychology.

The granddaughter of famed sociologist and philosopher Georg Simmel, she was born into an assimilated Jewish family in Jena, Thuringia, Germany, to doctors Hans Eugen Simmel, a professor, and his wife, Else Rose, a pediatrician. She had younger siblings Eva Barbara, Arnold Georg and Gerhard Friedrich. She immigrated to the United States in March 1940 with her family as a stateless refugee and applied for citizenship later that year. The family was initially divided across New York City; the parents stayed at a lodging house while their children lived at various friends' homes. At age 17, with only an eighth-grade education, she initially lived in Queens, working as a housekeeper for another Jewish family. Nine years later, she received her Ph.D. from Harvard University and later served on the faculty at the College of Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago and at Brandeis University.

With Fritz Heider, Simmel co-authored "An Experimental Study of Apparent Behavior," which explored the experience of animacy. The study showed that subjects presented with a certain display of inanimate two-dimensional figures are inclined to ascribe intentions to those figures.  This result has been taken to establish "the human instinct for storytelling" and to serve as important data in the study of theory of mind.

In addition to her early work with Heider, Simmel went on to make important contributions in cognitive neuropsychology, for instance in her work on the phenomenon of the phantom limb.

She died in North Eastham, Massachusetts.

title: Kalix Church

text:
Kalix Church (, sometimes Nederkalix kyrka) is a medieval Lutheran church in Kalix in Norrbotten County, Sweden. It belongs to the Diocese of Luleå. The church is the northernmost medieval church of Sweden.

History

The presently visible church was preceded by a wooden chapel. The exact time of construction of the church is not known, but it was probably constructed during the late 15th century. The church is mentioned for the first time in 1472 when archbishop Jakob Ulvsson from Uppsala visited the church in connection with the inauguration of the altarpiece of the church. The event is mentioned in a letter of indulgence, which is also the oldest written record from Kalix as well as the only letter of indulgence that is known to have been issued from the Diocese of Luleå. The inauguration of the altarpiece may have been done in connection with either the inauguration of the new church or with the start of the construction of it. The church was damaged by fire in 1595, in which a set of medieval frescos were destroyed. A wooden church porch was replaced with one made of stone in the late 17th century. In 1747 the windows were enlarged and in 1753–54 the church was renovated.

The church has been pillaged by Russian troops on two occasions: in 1716, when cash and church vestments were carried off, and again in 1809, when it was used by Russian troops as a stable during the Finnish War.

The church was renovated in 1955 and again in 1972.

Architecture

Kalix Church is a typical representative of a type of late medieval hall churches found in the north of Sweden. The gables of the church display brick ornaments and the building has two medieval portals in its south façade. It lies close to Kalix river in what used to be a so-called church village () where congregation members who came from far away would have a small house or cottage in which to stay during church holidays, but of this church village only a single house remains today. Not far from the church lies the old parsonage. An external wooden bell tower, built by carpenters from Ostrobothnia, stands in the cemetery. All in all, the church and its environs constitute a typical representative of a church complex in Norrland.

Inside, the church ceiling rests on three star-shaped vaults. The church contains several medieval items. The aforementioned altarpiece still stands behind the main altar and is adorned with statues depicting, on the central panel, the Holy Virgin with the infant Christ, and on each side of her statues of James the Greater and James the Lesser. The baptismal font is also medieval, as are two separate sculptures of saints. The pulpit is one of the oldest in Norrland, and Baroque in style. The rood screen with its ornamented obelisks dates from the mid-18th century, while two more free-standing sculptures come from an altarpiece made in the 1880s. The choir window dates from 1972 and is made by artist Pär Andersson.

title: Annie Webb Blanton

text:
Annie Webb Blanton (19 August 1870 Houston – 2 October 1945 Austin) was an American suffragist from Texas, educator, and author of a series of grammar textbooks.

 Blanton was elected Superintendent of Texas Public Instruction in 1918, making her the first woman in Texas elected to statewide office.

Early life and education
Blanton was one of seven children born to Thomas Lindsay Blanton and Eugenia Webb Blanton. She had a twin, Fannie, who died young. Her brother, Thomas Lindsay Blanton, served as a Congressman from 1917 to 1936.

Blanton attended the University of Texas in Austin, earning a degree in English literature in 1899. Later in life, she pursued graduate studies at UT, earning a master's degree in 1923. She earned a PhD from Cornell University in 1927.

Teaching career
By the time she finished her undergraduate degree, Blanton had already taught for several years in rural schools and schools in Austin, to pay her own tuition. She was elected president of the Texas State Teachers Association in 1916, the first woman to hold that position.  Blanton was professor of English at the North Texas State Normal College in Denton from 1901 to 1918.  She later served on the education faculty of the University of Texas at Austin for 22 years.  She was the third woman to hold full professor status at the University of Texas. In 1929, she founded the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, a professional honor society for key women educators.

Books by Annie Webb Blanton included Review Outline and Exercises in English Grammar (1903); A Handbook of Information as to Education in Texas (1923); Advanced English Grammar (1928); and The Child of the Texas One-Teacher School (1936).

Election to the Superintendency
The 1918 July Texas primary and November general election marked the first time Texas women could exercise their right to vote.   Blanton was elected to the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction with support from the Texas State Teachers Association, and with a campaign orchestrated by suffragist Minnie Fisher Cunningham. She served two terms, declining to run for a third term in 1922. (The superintendent office was the forerunner to the Texas Education Agency.) During her first term she successfully launched a "Better Schools Campaign," which amended the state constitution to allow local property taxes to fund public schools.

Blanton ran for Congress in 1922 in Denton County, Texas.

Personal life and legacy
Blanton lived with her teaching colleague, Emma Mitchell, for several years. When Blanton moved to Austin, Mitchell left her job to follow; the pair traveled together, and hosted social gatherings in their home. Annie Webb Blanton died in 1945, age 75.

There are schools named after Blanton in several Texas districts, and a dormitory at University of Texas at Austin. A biography of Blanton was published in 1993. In 2013, Blanton became the first woman to be the subject of a state historical marker in Denton County.

title: Ranpur State

text:
Ranpur State was one of many princely non-salute states of India during the period of the British Raj. It was one of the four native states located in present-day Nayagarh district, Odisha.

The state was bounded in the west by Nayagarh State and in all other directions by Puri district. It was very close to the seashore but had no coastline. Its southwestern part was thickly forested and was mostly uninhabited. The Ranpur ruling family claimed to belong to the most ancient lineage of the princely rulers of the Orissa Tributary States. The capital of the state was Ranpur, a small town near Kalupara Ghat railway station where the Raja resided.

History
According to legendary tradition, Ranpur State is of very ancient origin. The legendary date of its foundation is placed some time in the 18th century BC when the founder, a hunter named Basara Basuk, having defeated a giant demon named Ranasura, established his rule in the area. The name of the place is derived from the demon's name and was initially known as Ranasurapura, shortened to Ranpur in the course of time.

The Ranpur state rulers claimed to be the most ancient of all the lineages of the Orissa Tributary States, with a list of generations of rulers covering a period of 3,600 years with the Raja declaring indigenous origin in an inquiry in 1814. According to the family history, the founder of the kingdom was Biswabasab, a Sabara who hailed from the Nilagiri hills region, established his rule in the region after subduing the Bhuiyas of the neighbouring villages. Later the chiefs received the title of Narendra from the Eastern Ganga monarch Ananga Bhimadeva owing to his prowess in battle.

The state became a British protectorate in 1803 after the British defeated the Marathas in the Second Anglo-Maratha War and took over the region. The last Raja of Ranpur signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union, on 1 January 1948, merging his state into Odisha

title: Iain Picton

text:
Iain Sutherland Picton (31 August 1951 – 9 August 1991) was a political activist in the Conservative Party, representing the One Nation tradition Toryism, and a television producer.

Federation of Conservative Students and National Union of Students

Picton was active in the Liverpool University Branch of the Federation of Conservative Students between 1970 and 1975. Liverpool University FCS was dominated by the moderate faction in the Conservative Party and a major player in the Students' Union. He became the sabbatical President of Liverpool Students Union and a delegate to the National Union of Students. He rose to become a National Vice-Chairman of FCS (1974–75) on the moderate ticket and was elected to the Finance Committee of the NUS, the first Tory in two decades.

Conservative Party Youth and Community Officer

After the Conservative defeat in the 1974 General Elections, the Conservative Party created a number of staff positions charged with building relations with elements of the community the Party considered vital to its electoral success such as voluntary groups and ethnic minorities. Picton was recruited to head up the Youth & Community position in the North West Region of England, working under the Area Agent, David Smith from 1975 to 1979.

Parliamentary candidate

In the 1979 General Election Picton stood as the Conservative Candidate in Rochdale, a Liberal – Labour marginal, held by Cyril Smith. The election was characterised by clashes between Young Conservatives and the supporters of the National Front Candidate, Jim Merrick. Merrick was a former Conservative Councillor from Bradford who had been expelled by the Conservatives in 1970 and gone on to found the British Campaign to Stop Immigration.
The General election campaign in England was marred by serious, violent clashes. Rochdale became a focal point for demonstrations between local residents, left-wing groups and far-right supporters of Merrick and the one public meeting descended into a full-scale riot, requiring the town centre to be closed off and became the main news item on the BBC Evening News.

Young Conservatives

Picton joined the Young Conservatives in 1965 and became Secretary and then Chairman of Knebworth Young Conservatives Hertfordshire. Picton became Chairman of the North West Area Young Conservatives in 1978 and served two terms as National Vice-Chairman of the Young Conservatives, first under Bob Hughes and then Eric Pickles, with responsibility for Campaigning and International work on the British Youth Council. In 1981 he was elected National Chairman of the Young Conservatives on the moderate slate.

Right-wing infiltration

Picton grew concerned with signs of organised extreme right wing infiltration and collaboration with them by sympathetic racists in the Conservative Party. The Daily Telegraph reported: 'The National Chairman of the Young Conservatives, Mr Iain Picton is convinced that there is a problem and that action has to be taken to tackle it.' Picton stated: If I ever find any evidence of National Front infiltration, I shall move everything to make sure these people are thrown out.'

The Daily Telegraph listed examples of National Front links in Coventry, West London, Petts Wood, South Shields, Preston and the Solent area of Hampshire. The Telegraph referred to 'particular worries' about some Federation of Conservative Students branches which 'sent a delegation containing students with skinhead haircuts, braces and union-jack badges to the federation's conference.'

Picton believed that unless the issue was confronted, the Young Conservative movement 'could suffer serious political and structural damage.' Picton attacked the National Front, calling them racists. 'They are dangerous, they are pro-racist where we are anti, and they are anti-democratic where we are pro'. Picton's lieutenant, National vice-chairman, Phil Pedley stated: 'So far we have only discovered a handful of people but they appear to be working to some sort of a strategy.'

Countering CND

Under Picton's Chairmanship the National Young Conservatives sought to counter the influence of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament attempts to influence Young Conservative Branches and established Youth for Multilateral Disarmament under Phil Pedley.

Youth Unemployment

The Young Conservatives took a leading role in calling for the Government to do more for young unemployed and charged another National vice-chairman, Peter 'Chalkie' White with the responsibility of developing the YC's stance, resulting in a policy paper "Britain's Youth – What Future?" Picton stepped up his criticisms of the Conservative Government's attitude after the Toxteth riots in Picton's adopted city of Liverpool.

Picton was regarded with disdain by many on the right of the Party including Thatcher's PPS, Ian Gow, who, prior to a meeting between Picton and the Prime Minister wrote: can the unspeakable Iain Picton come quarter of an hour early?...I gave him a drink at the House last night. He is bearded and unemployed".

Get on your bike

At the 1981 Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool, it was Picton's contribution to the debate on Unemployment, that provoked Norman Tebbit's famous response. In the aftermath of the 1981 riots in Handsworth and Brixton, Tebbit responded to Picton's suggestion that rioting was the natural reaction to unemployment by telling the Conference I grew up in the '30s with an unemployed father. He didn't riot. He got on his bike and looked for work, and he kept looking till he found it.' This response was the origin of the slogan "On yer bike!".

Tory Reform Group

Unemployment and compassionate Conservatism remained a theme after Picton's chairmanship of the Young Conservatives and he returned to it when elected chairman of the Tory Reform Group.

In May 1985, the Tory Reform Group criticised the Government's handling of unemployment and Picton's press release on the issue was referred to in Prime Minister's Questions. At the 1985 Conservative Party Conference he clashed again with Norman Tebbit, who dismissed activists' concerns as being worries about presentational issues. Picton said: "When Conservatives say presentation, they often mean policy. People are really worried.' He was backed by Northern Ireland Secretary James Prior: " I sometimes think the modern Conservative party lacks understanding and that compassion has become a dirty word'.

Picton returned to the theme of decaying inner cities and the risk of rioting in 1985 with a Tory Reform Group press-release calling for a rejuvenation of city centres which were "embarrassingly tatty, unkempt and in part positively slum-like." and suggested it might take another riot to get the Government to act. The cover of the Tory Reform Group's magazine 'Reformer' reproduced newspaper cuttings of the Birmingham Handsworth riots with the headline: 'The Nation in Peril?'

Anti Apartheid

In 1986 Picton criticised the Conservative Government's reluctance to join other Commonwealth countries in imposing sanctions against South Africa. Speaking on behalf of the Tory Reform Group. The Associated Press reported: "The Tory Reform Group, to the left of Mrs. Thatcher in her governing Conservative Party, joined those pressuring the prime minister to reverse herself and approve tough sanctions against South Africa at a meeting of seven Commonwealth nations next week." Picton was quoted as saying; "...economic, strategic and political interests all require us to impose substantial sanctions against South Africa''.

Combatting the SDP

In 1987 Picton published a Tory Reform Group pamphlet: Building One Nation: why the 'Alliance' has nothing to offer', a detailed argument why One Nation Tories should remain the Conservative Party to realise their objectives and not join the SDP.

Lambeth Council

Iain Picton stood as a Conservative Candidate in the 1982 Lambeth Council elections and was elected for the St Leonard's Ward with a majority of 1,200 votes over his nearest challenger (SDP). Picton served one term as Councillor and was succeeded as Conservative Councillor for the St Leonard's ward by John Bercow.
