title: Aron K. Barbey

text:
Aron Keith Barbey (born January 6, 1977) is an American cognitive neuroscientist, who investigates the neural architecture of human intelligence and brain plasticity.
Barbey is the Emanuel Donchin Professorial Scholar of Psychology and a Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Bioengineering at the University of Illinois.
He is director of the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, and
founding director of the Center for Brain Plasticity at the Beckman Institute, where he leads the Intelligence, Learning, and Plasticity (ILP) Initiative.

He has used both classical lesion methods and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques to better understand neural architecture and its relationship to intelligence.  Barbey used lesion mapping  to study Vietnam veterans who had suffered brain trauma.  He was able to record diagnostic images of their brains and relate this anatomical data to their documented problems, creating a "brain atlas" linking cognitive functions to neural organization.
He has suggested a framework called “structured event complex theory” that describes the inferential architecture of the prefrontal cortex.

His research group examines the effects of physical fitness, nutrition and cognitive neuroscience interventions (including TDCS) on brain health and intelligence across the human lifespan.
In 2019, Barbey was awarded the Mensa Foundation Prize for his neuroscientific work studying human intelligence.

Education and career
Aron Barbey received a B.A. from the University of Texas at Dallas in 1999, and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia in 2007.

From 2007-2011 Barbey was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Cognitive Neuroscience Section of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland.
There he studied Vietnam veterans affected by brain trauma. They experienced differential deficits depending on the locations and size  of their injuries. Barbey also served as an adjunct professor of psychology at Georgetown University, Washington, DC beginning in 2008.

In 2011 Barbey was appointed to the College of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Illinois, and became an Institute Affiliate of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.
By 2012, he was the director of the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory at the Beckman Institute.
In 2018, the Center for Brain Plasticity at the Beckman Institute was formed, under the leadership of co-directors Aron Barbey and Neal J. Cohen, leaders of the center's Intelligence, Learning, and Plasticity (ILP) Initiative.

Professional Activities

Aron Barbey is Associate Editor of Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. Barbey is also on the Editorial Boards of NeuroImage, Intelligence, and Thinking & Reasoning.
He is a co-editor of the Cambridge Handbook of Intelligence and Cognitive Neuroscience (2021).

Research

Cognitive Neuroscience of Human Intelligence

Barbey’s research investigates the effects of human brain damage on   intellectual  and social functions, with particular emphasis on the prefrontal cortex.

Studies of patients with frontal lobe damage have a long history in the neuroscience of intelligence and provide a direct way to test whether regions in the prefrontal cortex are necessary for specific intellectual abilities. However, it was only recently that the limited applicability and specificity of small sample studies of focal brain damage were overcome by contemporary lesion mapping approaches.

In a series of studies,
Barbey's research group investigated almost 200 patients with focal brain injuries and mapped the architecture of executive, social, and emotional brain systems. His research has helped to identify and characterize the neural systems underlying general intelligence,
emotional intelligence,
social intelligence,
fluid intelligence,
working memory,
cognitive flexibility,
and discourse comprehension.

Barbey's research has also revealed molecular genetic markers that predict general intelligence following traumatic brain injury.

Cognitive Neuroscience Methods to Enhance Human Intelligence

A central goal of Barbey's research is to establish and validate cognitive neuroscience-directed interventions to enhance human intelligence. Barbey is the Principal Investigator of the IARPA-sponsored INSIGHT project, along with co-investigators Arthur F. Kramer, Neal J. Cohen, and Charles H. Hillman.

Network Neuroscience Theory of Human Intelligence

Barbey has proposed a Network Neuroscience Theory of Human Intelligence that emphasizes brain plasticity, in which "general intelligence reflects individual differences in the efficiency and flexibility of brain networks" and "the capacity to integrate information across the brain as a whole". According to this view, "crystallized intelligence" involves the ability to rapidly access existing representations of knowledge and experience while "fluid intelligence" involves the ability to solve novel problems in ways that are adaptive and flexible.

Funding
Barbey's Decision Neuroscience Laboratory is supported by large-scale private and federal research grants and contracts, including the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), President Obama's White House BRAIN Initiative, the Director of National Intelligence's research agency, IARPA,
and contracts for $10 million from Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the study of individual optimization of human performance in the U.S. military using artificial intelligence.

title: Stanley Butler

text:
Stanley Butler (5 March 1910 – 24 May 1993) was a British cyclist. He competed in the individual and team road race events at the 1932 Summer Olympics.

Born in 1932 in West Norwood, Butler cycled with the Norwood Paragon team, and competed with his team-mate Frank Southall in tandem-paced racing at Herne Hill velodrome. In the 1932 Olympics, the team rode cross-country en route to the competition when Butler was injured during a training ride in Toronto. Consequentially, he started the 100km (62.14 miles) Olympic road race badly handicapped. Nonetheless, he competed and supported the Chambers brothers, Ernest and Stanley, who won silver medals in the tandem sprint. Britain finished fourth in the four kilometres team pursuit. After World War II he won the national 24-hours time trial championship in 1950, covering 458.18 miles (19.09mph) in atrocious weather conditions to set a new British record.

title: Stripped to the Bare Bones

text:
Stripped to the Bare Bones is a 1999 live acoustic album by English musician and songwriter Steve Harley. The album was produced by Harley and features Nick Pynn.

Background
Having returned to touring as Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel in 1989, Harley and his band would continue to tour throughout the 1990s. Although Harley had performed a small number of one-off acoustic-based shows during that time, his first acoustic tour would be the "Stripped to the Bare Bones" tour of 1998. In August 1997, Harley performed a string of casual, more acoustic-based, shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Accompanied by Cockney Rebel violinist/guitarist Nick Pynn, these shows consisted of music and chat about Harley's career. In November, he also performed an acoustic show at Castlemilk Festival in Glasgow. In the liner notes of Stripped to the Bare Bones, Harley revealed:

The success of these shows led to Harley and Pynn playing over a hundred dates in 1998 as part of the "Stripped to the Bare Bones" tour. This tour included fifty-four concerts in the UK alone, while around ninety songs were rehearsed for use on the tour. Coinciding with the tour was the release of the new compilation album More Than Somewhat – The Very Best of Steve Harley. Harley commented:

In March 1998, as part of the tour, Harley and Pynn played at The Jazz Café in London. This show was recorded using Sensible Music Ltd. and an ADAT system for possible release as a live album. During the show, Harley played acoustic guitar and harmonica, while Pynn played acoustic lead guitar, dulcimer, mando-cello and violin. Speaking of playing with Pynn, Harley commented: "It's a privilege to play with a musician of his calibre."

In September 1999, the album Stripped to the Bare Bones was released on the Burning Airlines label. The album featured fourteen live unplugged tracks from the show and CD liner notes by Kevin Cann. Of the included tracks on the CD, one was a new song titled "Only You". The song later appeared on the 2006 compilation The Cockney Rebel – A Steve Harley Anthology. A studio version later appeared on Harley's sixth solo album, Uncovered.

After the success of these shows, Harley would continue performing in the two-man acoustic format in 1999 and 2000, though with Cockney Rebel guitarist Robbie Gladwell rather than Nick Pynn. As Harley continued performing these shows, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel would not embark on a full tour until the "Back with the Band" UK tour of 2001, though would play a one-off rock band show at Blackheath Halls in November 2000, a concert that many (including Harley) have lauded as one of his best ever.  As the first acoustic album from Harley, two others would follow; Acoustic and Pure: Live in 2002, and Anytime! (A Live Set) in 2004.

Years later, Harley would eventually revive the two-man acoustic format (with Barry Wickens rather than Gladwell or Pynn) pending an "Audience With..." tour running over 67 dates from April to November 2024.

Release
The album was released in the UK by Burning Airlines (NMC Ltd.). In 2000, it was re-issued under a new title Unplugged by the budget compilation label Brilliant, which is run by Digimode Entertainment Ltd. The re-issue features the same track-listing as Stripped to the Bare Bones, but has different artwork. Although Stripped to the Bare Bones is now out-of-print, Unplugged remains in print to date.

Critical reception

On its release, Simon Evans of The Birmingham Post praised Stripped to Bare Bones as a live album which "finds Harley in fine form". He stated, "'Mr Soft and 'Make Me Smile' are among the back catalogue numbers getting an acoustic makeover which works surprisingly well in both cases, and even the mini-epics 'Tumbling Down' and 'Sebastian' benefit from a more low-key approach. Fans will also delight in the presence of 'My Only Vice' and 'The Best Years of Our Lives', as well as a smattering of more recent material that stands up well in such august company."

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic commented, "[This] album happens to be proof that Harley was a solid song-craftsman and a fine performer, more than just a glam has-been. His relaxed yet energetic performances and ease at storytelling make it a highly entertaining album, even for listeners who aren't familiar with his body of work." Dave Thompson of AllMusic reviewed the album's re-issue as Unplugged. He stated, "Harley's contribution to the "unplugged" bandwagon stands as one of the best. Harley is a most engaging host, punctuating songs with humor and anecdote, and if he does push the "gee, it's really great to be here" sincerity button a little too often for comfort, then that goes with the territory as well. A quarter of a century had passed since he was last considered a commercial force, yet his audience is as devotedly die-hard as ever, and the songs have held up remarkably well too."

title: Ou Kaapse Weg

text:
Ou Kaapse Weg (Afrikaans for Old Cape Way), numbered as route M64, is a mountain pass in the Cape Peninsula that connects the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town with the Fish Hoek Valley. It traverses the Steenberg mountains and passes through the Silvermine Nature Reserve. Ou Kaapse Weg is one of three routes to the Fish Hoek Valley: the others are Chapman's Peak Drive along the Atlantic coast and Main Road along the False Bay coast. Despite its name, the pass was only constructed in 1968, by the Divisional Council of the Cape.

Ou Kaapse Weg begins at a T-junction with Steenberg Road in Westlake, close to the southern end of the M3 expressway. It rapidly ascends the northern face of the Steenberg mountains, through two hairpin bends, to the summit at an elevation of . Near to the summit are entrance gates to the Silvermine Nature Reserve. The pass then descends along the valley of the Silvermine River, passing by Noordhoek to end at a junction with Kommetjie Road (M6 road), which provides access to Kommetjie, Fish Hoek and other places in the Fish Hoek Valley.

In 2012 Ou Kaapse Weg suffered severe traffic congestion because it was used as an alternative route to avoid construction work on Main Road between Muizenberg and Fish Hoek.

title: Little Red School House (Newport, New Hampshire)

text:
The Little Red School House, or the District No. 7 Schoolhouse, is a one-room schoolhouse on New Hampshire Route 10, south of downtown Newport, New Hampshire. Built in 1835, it is one of the state's few surviving pre-1850 district schoolhouses, and one of the least-altered of that group. It served the city as a school until 1891, and was acquired in 1951 by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is open as a museum during the summer months.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Description and history
Newport's Little Red School House is located about  south of downtown Newport, at the northwest corner of New Hampshire Route 10 and Pollard Mills Road.  It is a -story wood-frame structure resting on a fieldstone foundation, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main façade, facing south, has the building's main entrance, while the sides and back each have two sash windows.  The interior has plastered walls with a cove ceiling, and a painted wooden blackboard. The schoolhouse has its original wood stove, as well as original fittings for kerosene lamps. The benches are also original, but were moved in about 1885 to accommodate an additional wood stove. Exterior alterations are limited to the addition of folding shutters for the windows, and a flagpole near the entrance.

The school was built in 1835 to serve the town's seventh school district. Construction was done by a local carpenter for $140. Schools predating 1849 are rare in New Hampshire because the state in that year began promoting the construction of schools meeting standards specified in a publication by education pioneer Henry Barnard. This school remained in use until 1891, by which time Newport's rural population had declined enough to warrant adoption of a united school system.

title: AMD APP SDK

text:
AMD APP SDK is a software development kit by AMD for "Accelerated Parallel Processing" (APP). AMD APP SDK also targets Heterogeneous System Architecture (not only GPU).

AMD APP SDK was available for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows and Linux but was removed from AMD's official website. A developer stated in a forum post that the SDK was discontinued as the required libraries are now included with the drivers.

AMD intends developers to employ AMD APP SDK to utilize Video Coding Engine hybrid mode to create hybrid encoders that pair custom motion estimation, inverse discrete cosine transform and motion compensation with the hardware entropy encoding to achieve faster than real-time encoding.

The AMD APP SDK v3.0 supports OpenCL 2.0 and Catalyst Omega 15.7 driver, also it includes samples for OpenCL as well as accelerated libraries such as Bolt (an open-source C++ template library) and the OpenCL accelerated OpenCV (Open Computer Vision) library. This last version can be downloaded with the aid of StackOverflow.

title: Dyker Beach Park and Golf Course

text:
The Dyker Beach Park and Golf Course is a public park and a municipal, 18-hole, championship golf course  in the southernmost part of Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, in New York City, United States. The area stretches from the Belt Parkway in the south to 86th Street in the north, between 7th Avenue on the west and 14th Avenue on the east.

The course totals 217 acres and includes 6,548 yards of golf. Both the park's and the course's roots go back more than 100 years, and it is one of the most played public golf courses in the nation.

The golf course is managed by the American Golf Corporation, which not only won the contract to run the majority of New York City courses in 1999 but also renovated and expanded the club house in 2007-2008. Dyker Beach Golf Course is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States and second oldest in New York City, behind Van Cortlandt Park, in the Bronx. The course is open all year round so long as weather conditions allow for play.

History

The park officially dates back to 1895, but its use as public land goes back to the times of the Canarsee Indians and the original New Utrecht Dutch settlers who referred to it as the "common land." The Indians and the Dutch were unable to farm the land or to build houses on it because it was mainly meadows, marsh, and swamps. During the 17th century, the Van Dyke family tried to drain and reclaim this marshy land by building dykes. Thus the origins of the park’s name – after the Van Dyke family who built dykes or the dykes that the Van Dykes built.

The park evolved in four stages between 1895 and 1934, from upwards of eight parcels of land. Starting in 1895, the City of Brooklyn secured the first parcel, which stretched from the shore of Gravesend Bay to about 92nd street, and hired the landscape architecture firm of Olmsted, Olmsted and Eliot to design a  park, to be "the only seaside park in Greater New York." It was to include a saltwater lagoon, children's playgrounds, bathhouses, lawns, and drives along the shore. According to the NYC Parks Department, the 1896 Annual Report of the Brooklyn Parks Department claimed that Dyker Beach Park would be the "finest seaside park in the world." Although bathhouses were erected and roads were constructed, the plans were revised in 1911 by Mr. Charles D. Lay, a former landscape architect for the Park’s Department, who proposed to decrease the size of the lagoon and to add concert groves. In 1918 work began to fill the swampy areas of the park.

Prior to the 1920s, land stretching from 92nd Street to 86th Street was privately owned. The Dyker Meadow Land and Improvement Company owned the largest parcel and leased the land to both the Dyker Golf Club and Marine and Field Club, who used the Dyker Heights Club House, built in 1898, as their golf club house. In February 1916, the Poly Prep Country Day School, which was moving from 99 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn to Dyker Heights, was unsuccessful in its attempts to purchase this parcel for their new county day school, as they were some $80,000 short. Thus, the land was sold to the NYC Parks Department. However, Parks Commissioner Raymond V. Ingersoll, who had two boys at Poly, offered the school a  site on 92nd Street and 7th Avenue, which was donated to the Parks Department by Frederic B. Pratt, the Chairman of the Brooklyn Committee on City Planning. The school graciously accepted the offer and constructed a neo-Georgian school, which still functions today in this same location.

According to the Parks Department, four additional parcels of land were acquired between 1924 and 1927 by assignment and condemnation and another three lots were transferred to the department in 1934, which concluded the expansion of the park. These later expansions unmapped many streets which ran between 92nd and 86th streets, one such street was ‘De Russy Street’ which was built in the 1870s. In 2008, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation agreed to name the circular driveway in front of the Dyker Beach Golf Course Club house in his honor.

In 1935, the Club House was constructed, designed by architect John Van Kleek. This building was renovated and expanded in 2008 by American Golf Corporation to house all golf operations as well as a wedding ceremony and reception hall which can accommodate 300 patrons.

Dyker Beach Golf Course was run by the New York City Parks Department until 1984, when operations were turned over to a private operator, American Golf Corporation.

Today, besides the 18-hole golf course and the catering center, the park has baseball, football, and soccer fields as well as bocce, basketball, handball, and tennis courts.

Usage of the course
During the 1950s and 1960s, Dyker Beach Golf Course was the world’s busiest, with over 100,000 rounds played annually.

In 1965, a total of 103,581 rounds were played. A golf getaway located in the heart of Brooklyn, it was one of the most played golf courses in the United States in the 1960s, averaging over 350 golfers a day during the season. Many of its golfers are locals who line up early in the morning in order to get a number for a round of golf.

Notable golfers
Willy "Wiffy" Cox was the course's golf pro from 1921 to 1935.
The five Strafaci brothers were all regulars at the course.
Thomas Strafaci served as golf pro at Dyker, as did his son Thomas Strafaci Jr.
In the 1970s, Tiger Woods’ father, then-US Army Lt. Col. Earl Woods learned to play the game in 1972 while stationed at Fort Hamilton.
In 1898, Mungo Park Jr. was the club professional for the Dyker Meadow Club

Golf clubs
Dyker Beach Park is also home to four golf clubs that play on the course: the Shore View Golf Club, incorporated in 1930, one of the oldest public men's golf clubs in the United States; the Brookridge Ladies Club, also one of the older public golf clubs in the country; the Sand Trappers Senior Golf Club, that plays on Tuesdays and caters to older golfers; and a new club, Dyker Beach Women's Golf Club, that plays on Tuesday and Sunday mornings.

title: Berea Park

text:
Berea Park is a multi-sport venue in Pretoria, South Africa, on Lilian Ngoyi Street (earlier Van der Walt Street) near downtown. It has been utilized by multiple local sports teams in both football/soccer, including Berea Park F.C., and formerly cricket (North Eastern Transvaal).

The ground was formerly a cattle compound, part of the Hoffman farm. In September 1882 it started being the home for Pretoria's cricket team, and became known as Berea Park.

History
In September 1882, a former cattle pasture a few minutes by horse-cart from Church Square was dedicated as a cricket field for Pretoria players. The land was owned by a widow named Hoffman and was part of a farm including what is now Fountains Valley. By the time Walter Read's England side visited South Africa in 1892, the field was already known as Berea Park.

A Pretoria team played against the English visitors, in the first international cricket match in Pretoria, at the time the capital of the South African Republic (ZAR). The Pretoria team featured 22 players versus 11 on the Walter Read side. In the match, held from 29–30 January 1892, the Pretoria team won one turn and knocked 29 runs. In the 1906–07 season, the Currie Cup was held in Johannesburg and Pretoria, marking the beginning of domestic first-class cricket. The Northerns used the Park from the 1937-38 until the 1984-85 one, when their new stadium, Centurion Park, was built.

In 1897, the staff built the first clubhouse there. The first motor vehicle was exhibited in South Africa at Berea Park that same year. President Paul Kruger of the ZAR gave a speech for the occasion.

In 1903, South African Railways (now Transnet) purchased the Park as a sports ground for railway staff. The old clubhouse has since been used as a library, music room, and pub. The southern clubhouse was built in 1907, while the northern one was added in 1926, the year the Berea Rugby Club opened. A soccer team, the Pretoria South African Railways team, began using the field in 1918, and since 1935 Berea Park F.C. has competed in what was then called the Transvaal Soccer League.

Fire
In the 1990s, the building was used for administration and conference hosting, but later the structures and grounds began to fall into disrepair. A combined girls' and boys' high school used the grounds until an April 2010 fire did great damage. Since then, the site and terrain have not been used at all.

title: Sarsiado

text:
Sarsiado (also sometimes spelled as sarciado) is a fish dish from the Philippines which features tomatoes and eggs.
The name sarsiado in the Tagalog language means "cooked with a thick sauce". The name is derived from the Filipino word sarsa (referring to a thick sauce) which in turn is from the Spanish word salsa, which means "sauce".

Origin and preparation

Sarsiado is a delicacy from the Philippines which features a sauce predominantly composed of tomatoes and eggs. The bangus (or milkfish) is cleaned by removing the gills and other parts, rubbed with salt and then washed afterwards to remove blood and other scum.  It is then fried (usually shallow-fried, but deep-fried is not unheard-of) in a high temperature until the fish is cooked. The sarsa is then cooked in a separate saucepan - garlic, onions, and tomatoes are sauteed - in that order until cooked (with water sometimes added to maintain some moisture), and then beaten eggs are added and cooked to a rare done-ness. A souring element as well as a sweetening one may be added to the sarsa. Other fishes such as tilapia are also used in lieu of milkfish.

The sauce features a guisado - a sautee flavor combination of garlic, onion and tomatoes (although tomatoes are sometimes omitted, depending on the dish).

The dish is essentially a combination of two separate dishes: piniritong isda (fried fish), and tomato-scrambled eggs (for the sarsa), similar to the Chinese's stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs.

A similar dish is the Philippine version of the escabeche which also has fried fish topped with a sauce.

title: Tasmanian opium poppy farming industry

text:
The Tasmanian opium poppy farming industry was established in Tasmania in 1966.

Farms in Tasmania produce about 50% of the world's licit poppy straw that is later refined into opiates such as morphine and codeine.

Tasmanian Alkaloids is Tasmania's largest corporate grower of opium poppies.

A downy mildew outbreak in the 2014 poppy-growing season led to one Tasmanian company to look into growing poppies in the Northern Territory and Victoria of Australia.

title: Grabow (Meckl) station

text:
Grabow (Meckl) station is located on the Berlin–Hamburg railway in Grabow in the south west of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Together with four other stations, which also opened on 15 October 1846, it is the oldest station in the state. The Neoclassical entrance building, which dates from the opening of the line, and some other buildings in the station area are heritage-listed.

Location

The station is located in the town of Grabow in the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim, seven kilometres from the railway junction of Ludwigslust. It is located at kilometre 163.2 of the Berlin–Hamburg railway and is the last station in Mecklenburg before the border with Brandenburg. The station is about 500 metres northeast of the city centre. The railway crosses the river Elde southeast of the station.

History

Planning began for the construction of a railway line between Berlin and Hamburg around 1840. Different options were discussed. In Hamburg, a route running from Wittenberge south of the Elbe was favoured. There were several possible routes north of the Elbe, such as a route near the river or further inland. On 8 November 1841, the five states of Prussia, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Denmark, Lübeck and Hamburg signed a treaty for the construction of a railway line between Berlin and Hamburg. The Mecklenburg side under Grand Duke Frederick Francis II succeeded in achieving a route that was as close as possible to the court in Mecklenburg Schwerin.

A few months before, representatives of the town of Grabow in Berlin had called for the railway to be connected to the town. In March 1841, it was agreed that the town of Grabow would provide the Berlin-Hamburg Railway Company (Berlin-Hamburger Eisenbahngesellschaft) with free land and materials for the construction. The company pledged in return to build at its own expense a station and a freight yard for transfers to and from traffic river on the Elde. First, it was proposed that the line from the town would run on a south-western tangent of the town with the station west of the harbour of Grabow, but later it was proposed that the line would run on the northeastern edge of the town. Both plans were favourable for the town as very little valuable land would have had to given to the railway and, in addition, the nearby town of Ludwigslust would be served at a distance. After a visit by Friedrich Neuhaus to Grabow, it was found that the final route would require the acquisition a number of valuable properties for railway construction and the town had to compensate the owners accordingly. In addition, the new route passed near central Ludwigslust and so greater competition was feared.

Station and environment

The line between Berlin and Boizenburg was opened on 15 October 1846 and it was the first railway line in Mecklenburg. The connection to Hamburg was completed on 15 December 1846. Stations were opened along with the line in Mecklenburg in Grabow, Ludwigslust, Hagenow, Brahlstorf and Boizenburg. In the first years of operation on the line, Grabow was on the customs border between Mecklenburg and Prussia. The establishment of the North German Confederation in 1867 created a customs union and the controls were abolished.

Navigation on the Elde was improved in the Grabow area in 1868. In response, a transhipment facility was established at the railway bridge in the southern part of the station precinct, where a crane transhipped goods between boats and rail wagons. However, demand remained low and the crane was dismantled in 1885. The area around the station was gradually developed in the second half of the 19th century. The Kießerdamm between the city and station was paved and an avenue of lime trees was built along it for pedestrians. A barrel factory was built at the station in 1858 and the district court and post office were built on Kießerdamm in the following decades. A residential area was established beyond the station in 1890.

There had been aspirations in the first decades after the construction of the line for another line running from Dömitz via Grabow to Parchim and Waren (Müritz); instead the neighbouring Ludwigslust station developed as a railway junction from 1880. As a result, Grabow Station was left behind compared with Ludwigslust.

After the Second World War, the transport patterns changed. The line between Hamburg and Berlin lost its importance due to the emergence of the Inner German border. Traffic between Rostock and Wismar towards Magdeburg and Leipzig, which used the Berlin–Hamburg Railway between Ludwiglust and Wittenberg, increased in importance.

The section between Magdeburg and Schwerin passing through Grabow station was electrified in 1986/87. After German reunification, freight traffic declined on the line. The freight facilities in Grabow station were closed and the freight tracks were dismantled. As part of the rebuilding of the Berlin–Hamburg line for high-speed operations, the former level crossings, including three in the town of Grabow, one at the northern and one at the southern end of the station, were removed and replaced with underpasses.

Passenger services

In the first years of operation of the line, the station was connected by two pairs of passenger trains and a pair of freight trains (with passenger accommodation) with Hamburg and Berlin and there was also a service from Hamburg to Wittenberge and back.

Before the Second World War, the rail service was relatively active. Grabow station was served by a total of nine pairs of trains a day in 1939. These included four through pairs between Hamburg and Berlin, two pairs of trains between Hamburg and Wittenberge and three pairs that shuttled between Ludwiglust and Grabow. Express (Schnellzug) and semi-fast (Eilzug) passenger trains did not stop at the station.

The importance of the station for passengers increased after the Second World War. In the early 1950s, there was a continuous pair of semi-fast trains from Rostock via Schwerin and Grabow to Zwickau; this service increased during the following four decades to up to four pairs of trains a day. From the 1960s until the early 1990s, the service ran to the south from the station at around 3am from Schwerin to Nauen, a morning train ran from Rostock to Nauen, an afternoon train ran from Schwerin to Berlin and in the early evening a train ran between Schwerin and Wittenberge. In the opposite direction, a fast train from Berlin to Schwerin reached Grabow around 3am, a morning train ran from Wittenberge to Schwerin, at noon a train ran from Nauen to Schwerin and in the early evening a train from Nauen to Rostock reached the station. After Die Wende (the change), traffic increased significantly to Hamburg as direct trains were established.

In the mid-1990s, services were extended and the timetable provided regular-interval services. Since then, Grabow station has been served every two hours. The 2012 timetable provided connections on the RE 2  service from Grabow directly to Wismar, Schwerin and Ludwigslust in the north and to Wittenberge, Nauen, Berlin and Cottbus in the south.

Infrastructure

The station building is located southwest of the tracks. It is a Neoclassical, two-storey building with five portals on its long side and three portals in the transverse direction with a gable roof and a mezzanine (that is a low storey). In both directions, the building had an avant-corps with a triangular gable, so that it has an approximately cross-shaped floor plan. It has not been used for railway purposes since the early 1990s. Until shortly after 2000 there was a restaurant in the building, but since then it has been empty. Its architect is not known by name, but it is believed, due to its similarities to many other buildings on the Berlin–Hamburg line, that the director of the Berlin-Hamburg Railway, Friedrich Neuhaus, delivered at least guidelines for the design of the station. A virtually identical station building was built at Bergedorf station in Hamburg; this was demolished in 1937 during the reconstruction of the local railway facilities.

At the station building, the main platform is on the through track between Ludwiglust and Wittenberge. Until station renovation in the 1990s, an underpass connected under this track to a narrow island platform on the track operating in the opposite direction. Prior to the renovation, freight transport infrastructure lay behind it. These tracks have been removed, except for a track that has since been provided with an outside platform for trains towards Ludwiglust. A timber goods shed has been preserved, but it is empty.

The level crossing at Kießerdamm at the south end of the station was replaced with an underpass in the course of the upgrade of the line to a high-speed line in 2004. This underpass gives access to the platform towards Ludwiglust.

The entrance building, two sheds, a wall and a residential building situated opposite the station have heritage protection.

Train services
The station is served by the following service(s):

: Wismar – Schwerin –  – Grabow – Berlin  –

title: Sunset (apple)

text:
The 'Sunset' is an apple cultivar derived from the Cox's Orange Pippin cultivar. Both are found in Great Britain. The fruit has red stripes and an orange flush over a gold background. Usually, part of the apple is red while part of it is yellow. It is similar to 'Cox's Orange Pippin' in that it displays some russetting. The 'Pixie' apple is a distant descendant.

The Sunset's UK National Fruit Collection accession number is 1979-190. Its Orange Pippin Cultivator ID number is 1059.

Growing
The Sunset Apple is a popular alternative to Cox's Orange Pippen as it is regarded as easier to grow. The cultivar self-fertilizes and is a heavy cropper but requires thinning to avoid small fruit. It is the third flowering group. It is picked in late-September. The Sunset is known for attracting bees, beneficial insects, birds, butterflies/moths, and other pollinators. The tree is known to grow from 2.5 to 8 meters in height and width.

Climate
The Sunset Apple is suited to temperate climates.

Usage
The Sunset Apple is crisp and has an aromatic flavor. They may be kept for up to 2–3 weeks or eaten fresh.

Disease resistance
The Sunset has some resistance to cankers and scabs. It has demonstrated toxicity to cats, dogs, and horses.

Awards
The Sunset received an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1960.

The Sunset Apple won the RHS AGM in 1993.

title: San Pedro Art Association

text:
The San Pedro Art Association, established in 1936, is an art association set within the Los Angeles Harbor community of California. It has a history of established and well known artists dating back to its inception. Through exhibitions and public lectures, it encouraged works beyond representational art, and included figurative and abstract expressionist paintings in the 1950s. Though it originally exhibited primarily watercolor and oil paintings, the association evolved to include various other mediums and art forms.

History
The San Pedro Art Association (SPAA) was established in 1936 in San Pedro, California.  The original members' goals focused on expanding art in San Pedro and its surrounding communities. The association was formed by local artists in the community and it held seasonal art shows and exhibitions that were juried by established professionals and awarded artists in both oil painting and watercolor mediums.
 The SPAA has historically sponsored cultural art exchanges with artists outside the United States; this tradition continues through current exhibitions.  Since then, the association has expanded and is known for bringing local artists together with varied art forms that include painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, woodworking and jewelry making. Exhibitions continue to be presented seasonally and are open to the public.

In 1953, under the direction of its President Jay Meuser, the San Pedro Art Association wrote many of its bylaws and became a non-profit corporation providing a structure for the future growth of its membership and activities.
Some of the significant stated goals that continue to be utilized and implemented are:
 To further the mutual inspiration and development of its members by seeking to stimulate their interest in this organization and to encourage them in their own particular line of work.
 To promote means and opportunities for the education of the public with respect to art activities within the community.
 To enlarge and intensify the interest of its members in the artistic, cultural, and educational affairs of the community for its betterment by contributing to and encouraging art activities within the community.
These established goals of enriching the community through art were significant and continue today as an important function of the foundation for the organization and its membership.  The San Pedro Art Association is responsible for art lectures and demonstrations by local and other prominent artists as well as providing community events and monthly artwalks of galleries in historical downtown San Pedro.

In 2011, the San Pedro Art Association had its 75th anniversary celebration and exhibition.  Under the leadership of the association's president John Stinson, San Pedro Art Association was presented with certificates of recognition by the Los Angeles City and County as well as the State of California.
