title: Devin Graham

text:
Devin Graham (born July 29, 1983) is an American videographer who produces adventure and extreme sport videos on YouTube under the name devinsupertramp. His channel has more than 6.1 million subscribers and over 1.5 billion total views.

Career
Graham began making films of his stunts snowboarding at an early age. After breaking his back and legs snowboarding, he shifted his focus to being behind the camera. He studied film making at Brigham Young University with the original intent on working on feature films. After seeing the successes of YouTube videos, specifically one made on a cellphone that amassed over two million views, Graham opted to focus on making videos of his own rather than completing his degree.

Graham mostly produces, films, and edits his videos on his own. In a number of occasions, Graham has stated that he's worked with his roommate Jeff Harmon, others for sound, and cameramen if required. In Logan, Utah, he recruited 30 fan volunteers to help him shoot a snowball fight after making a public appeal on Facebook.

Graham's YouTube channel has more than six million subscribers and his videos have amounted to over a billion views as of April 2021. His videos are noted for their high production value and frequent use of Glidecam stabilizers. Some of his revenue comes from corporate sponsorships for his videos; which have included the clothing brand Vooray, Timex, Kelloggs, Bear Naked, Mountain Dew, Ford, Ubisoft, and Reebok, as well as Speed Stick Gear.

Personal life
For a short time he dated fellow YouTube celebrity Lindsey Stirling; they both attended the same university and church. The two began dating shortly after the filming of the music video for Stirling's "Crystallize". They have since ended their relationship, but still remain friends.

Graham also dated Hailey Gardiner from the singing group Gardiner Sisters. "Happily Ever After", a song from their EP, Better, was written by Hailey in reference to the dissolution of their relationship.

Graham married Megan Smee on August 12, 2016. In November 2019 Megan and Devin's son, Atlas Michael Graham, was born.

title: 33rd Infantry Division (Poland)

text:
The 33rd Infantry Division was a reserve infantry division of the Polish Army in the final days of the Second Polish Republic. It was not part of peacetime structure of the army, and was formed on August 24–27, 1939, out of units stationed at military districts I (Warsaw) and III (Grodno). It consisted mainly of Border Protection Corps battalions, together with students of Central Border Protection Corps Officer School (Osowiec) and 32nd Light Artillery from Rembertów.

According to the operational plan of the Polish Army, the Division, commanded by Colonel Tadeusz Zieleniewski became part of Independent Operational Group Narew, as a reserve unit. In late August 1939, it concentrated in Czerwony Bór, and was tasked with defending the area of Ostrołęka, Łomża and Nowogród. One of divisional units was sent to Osowiec Fortress.

In the first three days of the Invasion of Poland, the division had limited contact with the enemy. On September 5, it was ordered to attack the 3rd Army (Wehrmacht). On the next day, it marched to its concentration point, north of Wyszków. In the night of September 6/7, 1939, the division, together with other units of the Wyszków Group, attacked the town of Różan, in order to hold Polish positions along the Narew river. The Wehrmacht responded with its panzers along a wide front, which resulted in a general Polish retreat. Subunits of the division began to flee in panic, mixing with the 41st Infantry Division, which also retreated. Polish losses were high, furthermore, Colonel Zieleniewski was unable to find General Wacław Piekarski, commandant of the 41st Division.

On September 7, five battalions of the 33rd Division reached Wyszków. On the next day, remnants of the Division were attached to Modlin Army. On September 10, the Division, while on the march, was attacked by tanks of Panzer Division Kempf. After another retreat, the Division regrouped in the village of Piszczac, where it rested for two days, and received new equipment from military magazines at Biała Podlaska.

In the night of September 14/15, General Mieczyslaw Rys-Trojanowski, who at that time stayed at Kowel, ordered the Division to march to Brzesc nad Bugiem, in order to reinforce the garrison of the Brest Fortress. Even though General Rys-Trojanowski was not in the position to dispose of units of Modlin Army, Colonel Zieleniewski obeyed the order, and in the morning of September 15 commanded his soldiers to march to Brzesc. Soon afterwards, however, General Emil Krukowicz-Przedrzymirski came to Piszczac, and ordered Zieleniewski to march to Włodawa. On September 17, the Division took part in a skirmish near Włodawa, after which it joined Northern Front of General Stefan Dąb-Biernacki, and marched southwards.

On September 19 at the village of Majdan Ostrowski, General Krukowicz-Przedrzymirski reorganized his forces, merging the remnants of the 33rd I.D. with the remnants of the 41st I.D. The new unit, with 6000 soldiers and 35 cannons, was named the 41st I.D., was commanded by General Wacław Piekarski.

title: H. Price McGrath

text:
Henry Price McGrath (January 13, 1814 - July 5, 1881) was a "sporting-man" who opened the first gambling house in the American South, and bred the race horse, Aristides, the winner of the first Kentucky Derby in 1875. In the 905 page book prepared by Dr. Robert Peter, Professor of Chemistry at the Agricultural and Mechanical College and Chemist to the Kentucky Geological Survey, that was published in 1882 under the title Fayette County, Kentucky With An Outline Sketch of the Blue Grass Region, the biographical section dedicated to Henry Price McGrath called him the "first turfman America has produced".

Life
McGrath was born in Jessamine County, Kentucky. His father was a tailor and taught his son the trade, but McGrath sought looked to the business world to seek his fortune. He travelled about the American South and West. In 1852, he opened the first gambling house in the South, at New Orleans, Louisiana.

title: Allen Edwardes

text:
Allen Edwardes is the pen-name of D. A. Kinsley (born 1939), a scholar of Middle Eastern and Oriental erotica and sexual practices.

Edwardes is best known as the author of the 1959 book The Jewel in the Lotus, the introduction to which was written by the noted sexologist and prolific writer, Albert Ellis. The book, named after a famous mantra, is an amassment of sexual curiosities apparently plucked from a variety of ethnographical and orientalist sources. Throughout the book, one finds a plethora of uncontrolled generalizations concerning the sexual behaviour of non-western populations. Doubt has been cast on the sincerity of its scholarship. A recent study accuses the author of "more than a touch of prurience," and warns that "the guise of orientalist scholarship clearly gives Edwardes leeway to express a surfeit of subconscious homoerotic phantasy." As such, the book is a curious and highly specific example of a more general tendency in Western scholarship—or, in this case, rather pseudo-scholarship—which has been criticized as Orientalism by Edward Said.

Edwardes wrote a number of other books, including racy biographies of Robert Clive and Richard Francis Burton. The reviewer for Kirkus Reviews judged the Burton biography, published in 1963, to be "for sensation seekers and pseudo-intellectuals". Edwardes collaborated with R. E. L. Masters on Cradle of Erotica.

title: Chamfered square tiling

text:
In geometry, the chamfered square tiling or semitruncated square tiling is a tiling of the Euclidean plane. It is a square tiling with each edge chamfered into new hexagonal faces.

It can also be seen as the intersection of two truncated square tilings with offset positions. And its appearance is similar to a truncated square tiling, except only half of the vertices have been truncated, leading to its descriptive name semitruncated square tiling.

Usage and Names in tiling patterns
In floor tiling, this pattern with small squares has been labeled as Metro Broadway Matte and alternate corner square tile.

With large squares it has been called a Dijon tile pattern.

As 3 rows of rectangles, it has been called a basketweave tiling and triple block tile pattern .

Variations
Variations can be seen in different degrees of truncation. As well, geometric variations exist within a given symmetry. The second row shows the tilings with a 45 degree rotation which also look a little different.

Lower symmetry forms are related to the cairo pentagonal tiling with axial edges expanded into rectangles.

title: Jean Kincaid

text:
Jean Kincaid (1579–5 July 1600) was a Scottish woman who was convicted of murdering her husband.

Biography
Jean was the daughter of John Livingstoun of Dunipace, born in 1579 as Jean Livingston. She married John Kincaid of Warriston, who was a man of influence in Edinburgh, being related to the Kincaids of Stirlingshire, and who owned extensive estates in Midlothian and Linlithgowshire. In Early Modern Scotland married women did not adopt their husband's surnames.

Owing to alleged maltreatment, she was said to have conceived a deadly hatred for her husband soon after being married, and a nurse who lived in her house urged her to take revenge. Robert Weir, a servant of her father, and her reputed lover, was admitted by Jean Kincaid into her husband's chamber in his house at Warriston at an early hour on the morning of 1 July 1600, and he gripped John Kincaid tightly around the throat and held him for a long time until he was dead. News of the murder quickly reached Edinburgh, and "the Lady Warristoun", "the fause nourise", and her two "hyred women", were arrested "red-handed". Weir escaped, refusing to allow Jean Kincaid to accompany him in his flight. Roger Aston, a courtier, sent news of the murder to England, mentioning that Weir was the servant who kept Dunipace's horse.

Jean Kincaid and the other prisoners were immediately brought before the magistrates of Edinburgh, and a sentence of death was passed upon them. No official records of the trial are extant. Birrel wrote that:

According to Calderwood's History of the Kirk of Scotland, "the nurse and ane hyred woman, her complices, were burnt in the Castell Hill of Edinburgh". In the brief interval between the sentence and execution Jean Kincaid was brought, by the efforts of a clergyman, from a state of callous indifference to one of religious resignation. Weir, who was arrested three years afterwards, was broken on a cart wheel next to the Mercat Cross in Edinburgh, on 26 June 1603. The hangman used the coulter of a plough. This was a rare mode of execution in Scotland.

Legacy
A "memorial" of her "conversion…with an account of her carriage at her execution," by an eyewitness, was privately printed at Edinburgh in 1827, from a paper preserved among Wodrow's manuscripts. in the Advocates' Library, by Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe. The youth and beauty of Mrs. Kincaid were dwelt upon in numerous popular ballads, which are to be found in Jamieson's, Kinloch's, and Buchan's collections. The songs variously ascribe blame to the husband, the wife, or the devil. "The death of Lord Warriston" is a ballad printed by Francis James Child (Child 194); Buchan's version is also in the Oxford Book of Ballads (1969).

title: Northern Front (Poland, 1939)

text:
Polish Northern Front (1939) (Polish language: Front Północny, also called Army Group of General Stefan Dąb-Biernacki) was an operational unit of the Polish Army in the Invasion of Poland. It was created by order of Marshal Edward Rydz-Śmigły, on September 10, 1939.

Background
The Northern Front was one of two fronts (see Polish Southern Front), created to coordinate the activities of armies fighting the advancing Wehrmacht. According to Polish military planners, the Front was to be created out of units which had retreated southwards, after defending the border with East Prussia, and reserve units, concentrated east of Warsaw. The Front was supposed to defend the line of the Narew river, but this was already impossible on September 10, the day of its creation. Another line of defence, along the Bug river, also was impossible to hold, as units of the Northern Front were scattered after heavy fighting against the Germans. The Modlin Army had withdrawn to the Modlin Fortress, while Independent Operational Group Narew had been broken into a number of smaller groups. The Prusy Army, destroyed near Piotrków Trybunalski and Radom, was slowly recreated in the area of Chełm.

Organization
The Front was commanded by General Stefan Dąb-Biernacki, its quartermaster was Colonel Tadeusz Procner.

Actions
The Northern Front for the first time got in contact with the enemy in the night of September 16/17, 1939, when Wehrmacht units, advancing from Brzesc nad Bugiem, reached the town of Włodawa. Polish forces were unable to recapture the town, but they stopped the enemy advance towards Chełm.

After news of the Soviet invasion of Poland reached General Dab Biernacki and his officers, all units of the Northern Front were ordered to march southwards, to the area of Tomaszów Lubelski, to join Kraków Army and Lublin Army. All Polish forces tried to fight their way to Lwów and the Romanian Bridgehead. The Wehrmacht, well aware of it, tried to halt Polish advance in the Battle of Tomaszów Lubelski.

The second battle of Tomaszów ended in Polish failure. Very few soldiers and officers managed to flee southwards, facing not only the Wehrmacht, but also the Red Army, which had invaded eastern Poland on September 17.

Some weak units had remained in the area of Chełm until September 25, when they retreated towards Kraśnik. These forces capitulated on September 26, after realizing that it was impossible to cross the heavily guarded San river.

title: Jhilinga

text:
Jhilinga is a traditional Nepalese food specially popular during festivals. Jhilinga is super crunchy, and is favored by people of all age groups. It is closely associated with people of different ethnicity like the Gurungs, Newars, Magars, Brahmins. Popularity of Jhilinga still largely exists in villages and towns of Nepal. The process of making Jhilinga is really simple requiring minimal ingredients. However, a good set of skilled hands is required to craft the pieces into proper circles.

The history of Jhilinga is disputed. The dish is characterized by its frugality, reflecting agricultural hardship during ancient times. So it certainly was invented a long probably in villages across Nepal. Jhilinga is consumed largely during festivals, weddings and a variety of ceremonies. It is also associated with rituals and therefor has a significant cultural significance. From ancient times to even today, Jhilinga is used as Shagun (present) i.e. an offering taken with you when you visit guests or relatives.

Preparation methods

Ingredients
 Rice flour
 Water
 Food color of your choice

Method
Boil water in a deep casserole. Slowly add rice flour and food color into the boiling water while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. This process is similar to making dhindo albeit without the ghee. The mixture should have a good balance and consistency of flour and water. Once the mixture is properly cooked, process through noodle machine so thin and round strips of the mixture is produced. While the strips are coming out, hold the plate in such a way that the strips make concentric circles outwards. This requires skill and practice. Let the wet Jhilinga dray out in the sun. When dried, Jhilinga should be stored in dry airy place until ready to be fried.

Jhilinga can be deep fried to consume. Mustard oil or vegetable oil or a mix of oil and clarified butter (ghee) can be used to fry it.

title: NME's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time

text:
"The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" is a 2013 special issue of British magazine NME, available digitally or in newsstands on October 23. The list presented was compiled based on votes from current and past NME journalists. The list and writer's choices voting several times for the same act, were criticized by several papers including The Guardian.

The number one album was The Queen Is Dead by the Smiths.

Background
Made in a similar fashion to the Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, the list was voted for by NME journalists past and present, each of whom submitted a weighted list of 50 albums.

Reception
This NME listing was criticized by the media. The Guardian noted that NMEs Features Editor in 2013, Laura Snapes, rated in her top four spots four albums by the same band, the National. Snapes included a fifth National album at number 7 in her top ten greatest albums of all time. Similarly another NME journalist, Kevin EG Perry, also selected four albums by the same band in his top four spots, this time the Rolling Stones.

Ben Kaye of Consequence of Sound wrote that "if Laura Snapes had her wish, the top four would all be The National albums". He wrote:
The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead is the greatest album of all time. It's better than anything the Beatles ever did (though Revolver came close). Meanwhile, the band Queen is nowhere on the list at all, whereas Queens of the Stone Age shows up thrice (they also show up Thrice, who don't appear). Some other interesting highlights include Oasis' Definitely Maybe starting the top 10, PJ Harvey's Let England Shake making an impressive No. 15, Arcade Fire's Funeral (13) slotting higher than My Bloody Valentine's Loveless (18), and Outkast's Stankonia only good enough to slip in at 500.

More oddities: The highest ranked Michael Jackson album (Thriller) hits at 131, while LCD Soundsystem broke the top 50 with Sound of Silver (49). It's rad that Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American (429) made it on, but having it one spot below Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. and two above Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger seems kinda crazy. Speaking of the Boss, Nebraska (148) isn’t quite as good as Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange (147), but slightly better than Elliott Smith's Either/Or (149) and The Streets Original Pirate Material (150). Also, apparently Arctic Monkeys' one-month-old AM (449) is already better than Big Star's Third (451).
He also pointed out the differences between the list and the Top 100 British Albums Ever, released by NME in 2006. Michael Nelson of Stereogum thought the top three albums were a good choice, but said the rest was "a waking nightmare."

title: Lady Catherine Killigrew

text:
Lady Catherine Killigrew ( 1530 – 27 December 1583) was an English gentlewoman and scholar, the wife of Sir Henry Killigrew.

Biography
Catherine was the fourth daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke and Alice, daughter of Sir William Waldegrave. Her older sister Anne was the wife of Sir Nicholas Bacon, and another sister Mildred was the wife of Lord Burghley. Catherine was said to have been proficient in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

Lady Catherine married Sir Henry on 4 November 1565, and had four surviving daughters. Sir John Harington, in the notes to his translation of Orlando Furioso, has preserved some Latin lines in which she asked her sister Mildred, wife of Cecil, Lord Burghley, to use her influence to get her husband excused from going on an embassy to France. The verses were reprinted in Fuller's Worthies.

On 21 December 1583, she gave birth to a stillborn child, and on 27 December she died. She was buried in the church of St. Thomas the Apostle, London. It was burnt down during the great fire of London, but Stow, in his Survey, preserved the four Latin inscriptions on her monument, including one by herself and one by Andrew Melville.

title: Mabel Fonseca

text:
Mabel Fonseca Ramírez (born May 8, 1972 in Guantánamo, Cuba) is a retired amateur Puerto Rican freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's lightweight category. She produced a remarkable tally of four career medals; three of them were bronze from the Pan American Games (2003 and 2007) and World Championships and a silver in the 59-kg division from the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games. Fonseca also had an opportunity to represent Puerto Rico at the 2004 Summer Olympics, but her participation had been marred by a disqualification for failing the doping test. Throughout her sporting career, Fonseca trained as a member of the women's wrestling team for Esporto San Juan under her personal coach Reinaldo Jimenez.

Fonseca highlighted her wrestling career at the 2002 World Wrestling Championships in Chalcis, Greece, where she picked up a bronze medal in the 59-kg division over France's Sandrine Seve, and then boasted for another one at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

When women's wrestling made its debut at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Fonseca qualified as a lone wrestler for the Puerto Rican squad in the 55 kg class. Earlier in the process, she chose to drop down her weight class by four kilograms and thereby placed fifth from the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in New York City, New York, United States. In the prelim pool, Fonseca pinned Ukraine's Tetyana Lazareva in her opening match, but fell behind Sweden's Ida-Theres Karlsson with a similar disposition before reaching the minute mark. Despite missing a spot for the semifinals, Fonseca had a chance to edge past U.S. wrestler Tela O'Donnell 10–7, and China's Sun Dongmei 8–6 in overtime during the classification rounds. Fonseca originally claimed the fifth position, but was disqualified from the tournament after being tested positive for stanozolol, allowing other wrestlers behind her to upgrade their rankings.

Upon lifting her two-year suspension from anti-doping violation, Fonseca returned to the wrestling scene, and captured two more medals in the lightweight category at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games in Cartagena, Colombia, and at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She also vowed to improve her gaming strategy and sought to compete for the 2008 Summer Olympics, but missed a spot from the Olympic Qualification Tournament.

title: Herttoniemi dumping ground

text:
The Herttoniemi dumping ground was a small dumping ground in the northern part of the Herttoniemi neighbourhood in Helsinki. It was in operation during the years 1948–1953. It was founded in an old gravel pit near the Siilitie and Viikintie intersection. It was also known as the Sopulitie dumping ground.

The area of the former dumping ground was , and its ground consisted of sand, and there were no ground water areas nearby. Only municipal solid waste and slaughterhouse waste was taken there. The history of this dumping ground turned out to be short, as the residents of Herttoniemi, especially those living in single-family detached homes on Kitusentie, began to complain about the smell of the dumping ground. Due to the persistence of the residents, the dumping ground located in their neighbourhood was closed, and a new one was opened in the Botbyhöjden gravel pit. It became known as the Vartiokylä dumping ground.

The landfill of this dumping ground was allowed to decompose between 1953 and 2002. After this new town plans were made for this site, and apartment buildings were planned for it. All of the landfill, down to the basement rock, was taken away, and clean earth was brought to replace it. The restoration work was undertaken in 2002.

The landfill was taken to a modern dumping ground. The matter was already completely decomposed. Only materials such as glass, porcelain, film and metal objects could be discerned. The earth was not contaminated to any significant degree. Some hazardous materials were found, however. Among these were e.g. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals.

title: Clementina Rind

text:
Clementina Rind (c. 1740–September 25, 1774) was a Colonial American woman who is known as being the first female newspaper printer and publisher in Virginia. Living and working in Williamsburg, Virginia, she took the printing press established by her husband, William Rind, after his death in 1773. Clementina continued to print The Virginia Gazette and also published Thomas Jefferson's tract A Summary View of the Rights of British America.

Early years

Little is known about Clementina's early life. She was born around 1740, possibly in Maryland. Sometime between 1762 and 1765, she married William Rind (1733-1773), a printer in Maryland who worked in partnership with Annapolis printer, Jonas Green on the Maryland Gazette. William Rind and Jonas Green worked together until publication of The Maryland Gazette was suspended in October 1765 as a protest to the Stamp Act of 1765. Afterwards, the Rinds moved to Williamsburg sometime between late 1765 and early 1766 in response to an invitation William Rind had received to start The Virginia Gazette. On May 16, 1766, the first issue of William Rind's The Virginia Gazette was printed, accompanied with the motto, "Open to ALL PARTIES, but Influenced by NONE." Within this newspaper, William Rind printed local publications advertisements as well as information from the Virginia House of Burgesses (laws, resolutions, proclamations, and journals), a practice Clementina Rind would later continue. As the printing press flourished, so too did their lives in Williamsburg. By 1767, they were living on the Duke of Gloucester Street, in a brick building that served as both a work space and a family residence. Together, Clementina and William Rind, built a life and family consisting of five children (one daughter and four sons) all of whom were born in Williamsburg, with the exception of the eldest who was born in Maryland.

Printing career
Following the death of her husband in August 1773, Clementina Rind edited and published The Virginia Gazette until 1774. She managed the press out of her brick home, now the Ludwell-Paradise House in Colonial Williamsburg. Rind printed submissions from female readers, giving the newspaper a strong female point of view. In 1774, Rind was the first to print Thomas Jefferson's A Summary View of the Rights of British America.

Rind became ill in August 1774 and died the following month in Williamsburg. She had five children: William, John, Charles, James, and Maria. She was honored as part of the first class of Virginia Women in History in 2000.

title: Nutwood Site

text:
The Nutwood Site is a pre-Columbian archaeological site located on the western site of Illinois Route 100 immediately south of Narrows Creek near Nutwood, Illinois. The site dates from the Jersey Bluff phase of the Late Woodland period, which lasted from 750 to 1100 A.D. A large shell midden is located at the site; the shells were likely fished from Narrows Creek and nearby Otter Creek. Four firepits, which were identified by their concentrations of burnt limestone and igneous rock, have also been found at the site. In addition, the presence of Hopewell pottery fragments suggests that the site had connections to the earlier Hopewell culture.

The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 1979.

title: Katharina Gaus

text:
Katharina Gaus (12 July 1972 – 3 March 2021) was a German-Australian immunologist and molecular microscopist. She was an NHMRC Senior Research Fellow and founding head of the Cellular Membrane Biology Lab, part of the Centre for Vascular Research at the University of New South Wales. Gaus used new super-resolution fluorescence microscopes to examine the plasma membrane within intact living cells, and study cell signalling at the level of single molecules to better understand how cells "make decisions".  A key discovery of Gaus and her team was how T-cells decide to switch on the body's immune system to attack diseases. Her work is of importance to the development of drugs that can work with T-cells in support of the immune system.

Education
Gaus studied physics and mathematics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany and a  MPhil (1996) and PhD (1999) from the Institute of Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge. While there she created a biosensor to detect protein-protein interactions and a ligand library, useful as  a  diagnostic  tool.

Career
Following her studies at the University of Cambridge, Katharina joined the Cell Biology Group at the Heart Research Institute in Sydney, Australia, led by  Roger Dean and  Wendy Jessup. Around 2002, she moved with Wendy Jessup's group to the Centre for Vascular Research at the University of New South Wales.

She received several fellowships, spending three months of 2001 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, working with Enrico Gratton before returning to Australia to take up an Australian Research Council postdoctoral fellowship.  In 2005 Gaus was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship and spent six months at the Max Planck Institute for Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, working in the laboratory of Kai Simons.

As of 2005, Gaus founded the Cellular Membrane Biology Lab, part of the Centre for Vascular Research at the University of New South Wales. As of 2009 she became a senior research fellow and associate professor of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in Australia.

Gaus was a member of the Australian Centre for NanoMedicine, founded in 2011, which is based at the University of New South Wales.  She was also deputy director and a chief investigator of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging.

Gaus was active in encouraging girls to enter scientific fields.

Gaus was elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences (FAHMS) in 2015.

She died on 3 March 2021 aged 48.

title: Irregularia

text:
Irregularia is an extant infraclass of sea urchins that first appeared in the Lower Jurassic.

Description and characteristics
These particular sea urchins are distinguished from other sea urchins by their irregular shape: the anus and often even the mouth are no more at the two poles of the test, creating a bilateral symmetry instead of the classical 5-fold symmetry of echinoderms. The group includes the well known heart urchins, as well as flattened sand dollars, sea biscuits and some other forms. Most of them live inside the sediment, moving in thanks to their particular spines, and feed on its organic fraction.

title: List of Japanese restaurants

text:
This is a list of notable Japanese restaurants. Japanese cuisine is the food—ingredients, preparation and way of eating—of Japan. The traditional food of Japan is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes, each in its own utensil, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. The side dishes often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Fish is common in the traditional cuisine. It is often grilled, but it may also be served raw as sashimi or in sushi. Apart from rice, staples include noodles, such as soba and udon. Japan has many simmered dishes such as fish products in broth called oden, or beef in sukiyaki and nikujaga.

Types of Japanese restaurants include:

Conveyor belt sushi – a sushi restaurant where the plates with the sushi are placed on a rotating conveyor belt or moat that winds through the restaurant and moves past every table and counter seat
 Izakaya – an informal Japanese gastropub
 Robatayaki – a method of cooking, similar to barbecue, in which items of food on skewers are slow-grilled over hot charcoal

National Committee of Americans of Polish Extraction, (Polish: Komitet Narodowy Amerykanów Polskiego Pochodzenia or KNAPP)also known as the National Committee of Americans of Polish Descent or its Polish abbreviation KNAPP , was a Polish-American organization active in the years 1942-1959 in the United States.

KNAPP was created in 1942 by Polish activists in the United States to lobby for Poland's independence during World War II. The organization viewed Stalin as a threat to Poland, and campaigned against British and American politicians as they made concessions giving Poland to the Soviet Union. Many Polish Americans joined the cause of the KNAPP and other Polonia organizations during World War II; the group's membership and public visibility peaked in 1944. In 1944, KNAPP started a nationwide Polish American Congress to assemble Polish American leaders for an annual meeting in Buffalo, New York.

Following the Yalta Agreement, KNAPP issued messages to its supporters in outrage that the Allies had not honored Poland's pre-war borders and effectively handed Poland to the USSR. The organization continued in the postwar years lobbying American politicians to raise awareness of atrocities committed against Poles in the Soviet Union.

History

The National Committee of Americans of Polish Extraction (NCAPE) was created on June 20–21, 1942 on the initiative of several Piłsudskiites, followers of the late Marshal Józef Piłsudski. Individuals associated with the Committee accused the Polish government-in-exile of compromising policies toward the Soviet Union and naiveté toward the attitude of the Western Allies regarding the Polish question.

The NCAPE aimed to defend Polish interests, especially the independence and territorial integrity of the prewar Republic, as well as to lobby for the implementing of the Atlantic Charter and the conditions of the Polish-British Alliance of August 28, 1939.
The activists of the Committee thought that Poland's right to an independent existence were threatened not only directly by the occupants, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, but also indirectly by the irresponsible and cynical diplomatic games of Great Britain and the United States. In their opinion, these Western powers were willing to pay any price to preserve their alliance with Stalin, which they thought fundamental to defeating the Third Reich.

Among the founders of the NCAPE were Wacław Jędrzejewicz, Ignacy Matuszewski, Henryk Floyar-Rajchman and Bolesław Wieniawa-Długoszowski. They decided to leave Europe for the United States after the defeat of France in 1940. In America, they saw a potential ally for Poland and the crucial geopolitical player in forging the European peace in the future. Consequently, the founders of the Committee established contacts with the Polish-American Piłsudskiites.

The activity of the NCAPE found little understanding in the circles of the Roosevelt administration, but its biggest enemies were the communists living in the United States who proclaimed themselves to be representatives of the entire American Polonia.

Such opposition to the NCAPE stemmed from the sociopolitical atmosphere in the United States, which resulted from the meticulous work of the Soviet intelligence rezident. Soviet agents had since the 1930s seized control of a large section of intellectual, cultural and scientific life in America so that on the eve of the Second World War they were able to influence the federal government and the directions of American foreign policy. The work of Soviet Intelligence in the United States was supervised by Vasily Zarubin, the infamous officer of the NKWD connected to the Katyn Massacre (screened the Polish officers at the Kozelsk camp in terms of their utility to the Soviet Union). In consequence, the Committee was subject to systematic attacks in the press and on the political forum.

The NCAPE signaled the need to create a central political organization for the American Polonia, which had not existed until that point. Behind the initiative was the idea that only the citizens of the United States are eligible to vote in the American elections and can influence Washington. The Committee was joined in its efforts to create a political organization by the editors and publishers of newspapers: Maksymilian Węgrzynek in New York and Franciszek Januszewski in Detroit. Both dailies attracted the readership of members of Polish-American organizations, notably that of the three largest: Polish National Alliance (Związek Narodowy Polski), Zjednoczenie Polskie Rzymsko-Katolickie i Związek Polek w Ameryce with the headquarters in Chicago.

Consolidation

Polish immigrant mutual assistance associations reached the conclusion that they needed to consolidate in the defense of Poland. Their leaders found a common language with the NCAPE and established the Polish American Congress during the great Polonian conference in Buffalo in June 1944, attended by two thousand and five hundred delegates from different parts of the United States.

The task of this new organization was to influence the government of the United States to conduct policies beneficial to the Polish nation and to persuade the public opinion that Polish independence was compatible with the American raison d'être. The American-born (Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania) Karol Rozmarek was elected president of the Polish-American Congress. Rozmarek had been the first American-born president of the largest Polish-American immigrant organization, the Polish National Alliance since 1939.

Given the political atmosphere in America, the postulates of the American Polonia were perceived as harmful to the war effort by the Roosevelt administration. Soon after the conference in Buffalo, Rozmarek initiated efforts to obtain an audience with President Roosevelt, but was declined multiple times. Only in October 1944, amid the upcoming presidential election during which Roosevelt was running for the unprecedented fourth term, was the Polish American Congress invited to visit the White House. A large map of the Second Polish Republic with the 1939 borders, hung behind the president's desk, was to suggest that Roosevelt accepted the old eastern frontier of Poland. The photograph of Rozmarek and Roosevelt in front of the map circulated the American press. Rozmarek supported Roosevelt's campaign and the Poles eligible to vote in the United States followed in the election of November 1944. Nevertheless, when the decisions of the Yalta Agreement became clear in February 1945 and so did Roosevelt's participation in the conference, the Polish support for the president as well as for Rozmarek drastically declined.

The main accomplishment of the NCAPE was the consolidation of Polish immigrant organizations in the United States and the consequent creation of the Polish American Congress. Its delegates also attended the Polish-American conference in San Francisco in 1945. The circle around the Committee organized the Józef Piłsudski Institute of America and undertook literary and scientific activity after the war.

The organization was dissolved in 1959.

title: Tonight (Spica song)

text:
"Tonight" is the third digital single released by South Korean pop band Spica. It was released on August 28, 2013 under B2M Entertainment with distribution through CJ E&M Music and Live.

Production

The preparation and creation of the song was the main subject of the reality television show "Lee Hyori X Unnie" on OnStyle Entertainment Channel.  In the show, Lee Hyori, a long-established pop star and company colleague, provides counsel to the group, which had struggled to establish success as a group, on making decisions on every detail of a music single promotion, including song-writing, media relations, and styling. Lee Sang Soon, Lee Hyori's partner, was heavily featured on the show and lent his background vocals in the recording.

The song's lyrics were co-written with Lee Hyori and member, Kim Boa, with the original composition being completed by member and associates of Dsign Music.

Release
On August 22, 2014, the teaser for the single and music video were released.  The group members appeared in 1st Look Magazine with Lee Hyori to promote the release.

On August 28, 2014 (KST), the digital single, physical single and music video were made available to the public. The video was directed by Lumpens

Reception

In its first week of release, the song peaked at #10 on Gaon Music Chart, which tracks the success of South Korean music, and was eight on the weekly online download rankings with 102,297 paid downloads from August 28–31  It would fail to make the top 100 digital singles of 2013.

SPICA would perform on "comeback stages", which moved Lee Hyori to tears, but didn’t win on KBS Music Bank, MBC Music Core, SBS Inkigayo, and Mnet M! Countdown.

The single continued a streak of limited success but did result in a top 10 single for the group. Both the song and music video did receive positive critical press, with a particular emphasis on the vocal quality of the recording and the colorful imagery of the video.  One writer remarked on the competing themes: "Even though Spica's intent was probably to be liberating, it was still problematic because it detracted from the theme of innocent fun and instead felt dangerously close to voyeurism."

title: Our Love (Caribou album)

text:
Our Love is the seventh studio album by Canadian musician Dan Snaith, released under the moniker Caribou on October 6, 2014 by City Slang worldwide and October 7, 2014 by Merge in North America and South America. It is Snaith's fourth album as Caribou, having released his previous album, Jiaolong, as Daphni in 2012. It features collaborations with Jessy Lanza and Owen Pallett.

The album reflects on the success of Snaith's breakthrough album, Swim, four years prior. The lyrics are more personal and reflective than his previous albums, influenced by the birth of his daughter. It is an electronic album with R&B and hip hop influences.

Following the less positive reception of Jiaolong, Our Love debuted to critical acclaim, with praise for its subtle composition and themes. The album appeared on numerous end-of-year lists, was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards and was shortlisted for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize. It peaked at #46 on the Billboard 200 and #8 on the UK Albums Chart.

Production
The album title reflects the success of Swim. Snaith said "the primary impulse on this record was to make something that was generous in the sense that it was for everybody, not just for me locked in a studio by myself." The album features contributions from Jessy Lanza and Owen Pallett.

Our Love contains R&B and hip hop influences. Snaith described the lyrics as being more personal compared to previous Caribou releases, saying "Part of it's just getting older and being more reflective, thinking, 'What is it that I want to have in my music when I look back on it? What are the things that matter to me?' And they are clichéd things: the love in my life, whether that be my family or my friends." Snaith cited the birth of his daughter as a major reason for the more personal lyrics.

Release
The album's first single, "Can't Do Without You", was made available for free online on June 3, followed by "Our Love" on August 18, 2014. A music video for "Our Love", directed by Ryan Staake, was released on October 7, 2014.

Reception

On Metacritic, Our Love has a Metascore of 84 based on 33 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Alexis Petridis of The Guardian praised the album as "rich, strange, endlessly fascinating music" and "a subtle, beautiful triumph." Pitchforks Jamieson Cox chose the album as that week's "Best New Music" and called it "a very assured record, from its unconventional, austere arrangements to its unrelenting focus and thematic consistency." Fred Thomas of AllMusic wrote that Our Love "stands as the most straightforwardly danceable Caribou album to date, but holds on to both the experimental bent and composition-minded musicality that helped build the project's one-of-a-kind sound world." Drowned in Sounds Alex Baker said that while the album "lacks the element of surprise that Swim had," Our Love "holds in abundance all the hallmarks of a master: so rich, so textured and despite being predominantly electronic, so human."

In a mixed review, Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor called Our Love "a grower" and wrote that he had "come to appreciate its nuanced production, even on songs that initially fell flat," but nonetheless felt underwhelmed. Slant Magazines Jesse Cataldo criticized the album's "dreary" sound, writing that the album lacked "the nervous energy and addictive grooves of 2010's Swim or the sample-based bounciness of Snaith's recent side project, Daphni."

Accolades
Our Love appeared on numerous end-of-year charts. Consequence of Sound ranked the album at number five on their list of the top 50 albums of 2014, writing "As the world goes electronic, artists must work even harder to maintain the humanity that brings so many people together through music. Our Love is proof that artists can adopt timeless dance floor tactics without losing themselves in the hysteria." The Guardian also ranked the album at number five on their end-of-year list, writing "Our Love ran far deeper than most dance records, exploring the complexities of adult relationships: new fatherhood, friends' divorces and even death." The album was nominated for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize shortlist.

title: Beirute

text:
A Beirute is a Brazilian sandwich influenced by Syrian-Lebanese cuisine made with pita bread, brought to Brazil in the early twentieth century by Levantine immigrants. The Beirute sandwich uses two whole pieces of bread, not inside the pocket of a single piece of bread. The contents of Beirut can vary greatly, the most found ingredients are pita bread, roast beef or sliced silverside, or ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato slices and a fried egg.

The Beirut sandwich developed from the blending of cultural influences in cities like São Paulo. The name Beirute is a reference to the capital of Lebanon, from where many Lebanese Brazilians migrated.

The Beirute has similarities with other sandwiches in Brazil: The combination of ham and cheese exists in the misto-quente toasted sandwich, and ham or roast beef with cheese and tomato exists in the bauru. The combination of lettuce with tomato (and sometimes egg) also exists in some hamburger recipes.
This type of sandwich is found in various regions and cities of Brazil. Some cafeterias, as well as places that serve hamburgers, serve it with french fries and soda, an influence of American cuisine.
