title: Georges Mehdi

text:
Kastriot "Georges" Mehdi (1934 – November 6, 2018) was a French-born Brazilian judoka, considered one of the most prominent practitioners of judo in Brazil.

Biography

Early career
An Albanian native born in Cannes, France, George originally came to Brazil on a vacation in 1949 and did not return. A trained judoka, he went to the jiu-jitsu school of Carlos Gracie, but left it after some time due to differences with the Gracie family. According to him, they taught very little throwing claiming that it was less useful than groundfighting, while Mehdi believed that they did so because they did not know how to throw. He also was uncomfortable with which he perceived as lack of honesty by the family, as they had been publicizing him as a French judo champion despite he was just a beginner. He then traveled to Japan to train in the Kodokan school in 1952.

According to fellow Gracie student Armando Wriedt, Mehdi was fired for being "lazy and undisciplined". In one instance, he would have almost thrown a student off a staircase during a challenge. In another point of friction, Carlson Gracie injured him while training. Additionally, Mehdi would have moved to Japan, by suggestion of Mestre Sinhozinho's former student Rudolf Hermanny, in order to escape the death threat of several policemen he had a brawl with.

Learning under all Japan champion and Kyuzo Mifune trainee Yasuichi Matsumoto, Mehdi trained for five years at the Tenri University in Nara, meeting names like world middleweight champion Isao Okano and the great Masahiko Kimura. He actually had already met Matsumoto in Brazil, where Yasuichi had seen him do judo while on a tour of the world. He provided Mehdi with tuition room and board and spending money for 5 years. Additionally Mehdi trained at the Kodokan and Chuo University. The training in Japan only lasted 6 months as George went to attend his sick mother. Georges spent a total of 10 years in Japan and taught Judo in a high school in Japan, probably the first non Japanese to do so. When he died Mehdi was a 9th dan in Judo.

Competition
Mehdi was referred to as the best judoka in Brazil, whom the Gracie family refused to face in judo competition. This was in 1942 after the loss of George Gracie to Euclydes Hatem, fearing that it might have a bad effect on their growing reputation.

In 1951, Mehdi was a witness to the Masahiko Kimura vs. Hélio Gracie fight and Helio's subsequent hospitalization, He stated that, unlike what the Gracie side claimed, Kimura was no giant, but about 5'6 and 185 lbs. Additionally he believed the fight was worked or choreographed to a point, with Kimura intentionally allowing Hélio to fight for minutes before finishing him.

In 1968, according to Wriedt, Mehdi trained with fellow Gracie student Pedro Hemetério, nicknamed "Okra Man" for his victory over the Judoka Akio Yoshihara. Georges would have capitalized in his superior conditioning at the time to hold him down and not letting him out, claiming to win by judo rules. Several Gracie students tried to assault his academy, but they were stopped by Rudolf Hermanny and two armed bodyguards that trained under Mehdi. Hemetério and the Gracies later challenged Mehdi to a fight, but he did not accept the challenge, stating in a newspaper that, "I don't want to fight Hemetério, because a Judoka is not on equal terms with a Jiu-jitsu fighter. While one is a sport, the other is a real fight." Wriedt recalls Hélio Gracie pressed Mehdi into making the claim.

He was the Brazilian judo champion for seven years straight. He competed in the 5th world championships. At the age of 32 he was already a 4th dan in Judo. He received a silver medal and a bronze medal in the Pan American games in 1963 and 1967 respectively.

Teaching career
He trained numerous individuals including Henrique Machado. George's students included Mario Sperry, Rickson Gracie, and Sylvio Behring. Judo champion Isao Okano said of Mehdi that "if you took all the knowledge of all the instructors in this hall [the Olympics], it would not equal the knowledge of Sensei Mehdi".

He was fluent in French, English, Japanese, and Portuguese.

Death
Sensei Mehdi died November 6, 2018, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aged 84.

title: June Craig

text:
Margaret June Craig AM (née Lynn; born 8 December 1930) is a former Australian politician who was a Liberal Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1974 to 1983, representing the seat of Wellington. She was a minister in the governments of Sir Charles Court and Ray O'Connor, and was only the second woman in Western Australia to serve as a government minister (after Dame Florence Cardell-Oliver).

Early life
Craig was born in Perth, and went to Presbyterian Ladies' College in Peppermint Grove. An excellent sportswoman, she represented Western Australia at tennis, and later studied physical education at the University of Western Australia and the University of Melbourne. In 1951, she married Frank Craig, whose father, Les Craig, was a member of the Legislative Council for over 20 years. Her own great-grandfather, Robert John Lynn, had also sat in the Legislative Council.

Politics
A member of the Liberal Party since 1950, Craig was elected to the seat of Wellington, in the state's south-west region, at the 1974 state election, becoming the first woman in the Legislative Assembly since Dame Florence Cardell-Oliver's retirement in 1956 (and the fourth woman overall). Following the Court government's retention at the 1977 state election, she was named Minister for Lands and Forests, becoming only the second woman to serve in a WA cabinet. The ministry was reconstituted in 1978 after a portfolio reshuffle, with Craig now Minister for Local Government and Minister for Urban Development and Town Planning. The latter portfolio was regarded by previous ministers as difficult, and Craig later wrote that she was disappointed she had failed to implement a "grand reshaping" of the town-planning system, despite the introduction of several smaller "technical" changes.

Following the 1980 state election, at which the government was again returned, there was speculation that the premier, Sir Charles Court, would retire. Craig was considered a potential candidate to replace him (along with Bill Grayden, Cyril Rushton, Ray Young, Jim Clarko, and his deputy, Ray O'Connor), but had little partyroom support. Court eventually resigned in early 1982, and was replaced by O'Connor, who retained Craig in his new ministry. The seat of Wellington was abolished in a redistribution prior to the 1983 election, and was largely incorporated into a new seat, Murray-Wellington. Despite this new seat being regarded as safer, Craig chose to contest another new seat, Mitchell, which incorporated areas on the outskirts of Bunbury. At the election, won by Labor in a landslide, Mitchell was won by Labor's candidate, David Smith. Craig was one of four ministers to lose their seats, along with Young, Bob Pike, and Richard Shalders. Both before and after her parliamentary career, she had been involved in community and charitable organisations, notably as the national president of the Save the Children Fund. She was named a Member of the Order of Australia (postnominals AM) in 1994, for "service to the community".

title: Anything Goes (Florida Georgia Line album)

Critical reception
Anything Goes has received mixed reviews from critics.  Writing for Allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine criticized the anonymity of the duo and their music, claiming that "they're playing to the largest possible audience, so nobody should be surprised that Anything Goes is so broad it avoids such messiness as personality."  He awarded the album 3 stars out of 5.  Tom Roland awarded the album 4 out of 5 stars in his review for Billboard, saying that "it shores up the duo's country flanks, and demonstrates that FGL intends to aggressively protect its progressive place in the genre, one that the act essentially designed on its own."

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 197,000 copies.  The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 1, 2014, and Platinum on March 29, 2016, for combined sales and streams of a million units.

title: Lagaan (soundtrack)

text:
Lagaan (soundtrack) is the soundtrack from the film Lagaan (also called Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India). It was composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. The soundtrack is made up of are six songs and two instrumental pieces. Rahman incorporated several music styles and genres to create the soundtrack.

The soundtrack received high critical acclaim, with many reviewers stating it as a "Magnum Opus" by A. R. Rahman. It is described as one of Rahman's finest and most successful works to date. The rich background score of the film also got great critical acclaim and is said to have contributed immensely to the film's success.

Track listing
It was the highest selling album in 2001.
It was AR Rahman's 2nd Big Hit after Dil Se in that time.
Specially Inspirational song Mitwa and Classical Song Radha Kaise Na Jale by Udit and Asha were biggest hit in that time.

Reception
The Los Angeles Times said that the "songs and dances are not mere interludes inserted in the action, bringing it to a halt—a Bollywood trademark—but are fully integrated into the plot and marked by expressive, dynamic singing and dancing that infuse a historical drama with energy and immediacy." A review of the tracks suggests that "the music is true to the time period (the British Raj)". Another review said: "A. R. Rahman is again at his prodigious best. His score for Aamir Khan's period drama Lagaan is a delectable blend of Indian classical music, folk melodies and jazzy snazzy tunes." The reviewer of Screen India said, "Great music, heard after a long time, which elevates your senses. That Rahman's among the best is proved here." The soundtrack was ranked No. 44 on Amazon.com's "The 100 Greatest World Music Albums of All Time". The soundtrack won 3 National Film Awards in three categories. A. R. Rahman won the award for the best music, Udit Narayan won the Best Male Playback Singer Award for "Mitwa" and Javed Akhtar won the Best Lyrics Award for "Ghanan Ghanan" and "Radha Kaise Na Jale". Lagaan also became the biggest audio hit of the year by topping the music charts and selling 3.5 million records within a year. According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 28,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's fourth highest-selling.

title: Greensand Cycle Way

text:
(Greensand Cycleway)
Signs for this route appeared in the first half of 2014. It covers roughly 40 miles (64 km), using minor roads and  runs roughly in parallel with its sister walk, the Greensand Ridge Walk. The route traverses Bedfordshire, making brief forays into the neighbouring counties of Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire. Its southern endpoint is at Leighton Buzzard and the route runs north-east to Sandy.
The waymarker for this route is simply Greensand Cycleway and the depiction of a bicycle on a brown background. There are some smaller, circular waymarkers employed to ensure continuity of the route for cyclists.

A map of the route can be found on "OpenStreetMap".

Route

Leighton Buzzard to Woburn

Woburn to Ampthill

Ampthill to Haynes
At the end of Abbey Lane (Ampthill), there is a T-junction with the Flitwick Road (Malden). Turn left and then right into New Road alongside open fields. You will briefly merge with Silsoe Road before turning right into Water End. There are a number of pretty thatched cottages here, as well as Water End Fisheries, a coarse fishing site.

Follow the road round until you come to Clophill Road. Here you can take advantage of the old "Dog and Badger" pub on the left to quench your thirst or appetite, but the route continues right, along the Clophill Road to meet with the Bedford Road (A6) - make sure you follow the Clophill Road round to the left and not onto the A507.

Take care crossing the A6 at this point. You can choose to leave the route here and follow the A6 towards Luton briefly, in order to drop into Silsoe and along to Wrest Park and its 3 centuries of parklands. Otherwise continue into Clophill and past the "Flying Horse" pub dating from about 1731. The village green boasts a "lock-up and pound" where once were kept any stray animals which were released back to their owners for a fine, a small convenience store with post office and snack bar, an Italian restaurant in the old "Green Man" - there is also a real ale pub, "the Stone Jug" which is a little off the route in Back Lane.

To continue the route, follow Shefford Road through the village, past the Mill House and the primary school. Turn left into Great Lane, a scenic route to Haynes, and follow this narrow, wooded country lane up over the hill until you meet with Church Lane (Haynes). There is quite a good view of Haynes Park, the house, from the top of the lane looking across the fields.

Haynes to Sandy
Turn right downhill on Church End Road. About 50m on the left is Church Lane and St Mary's Church where Queen Anne of Denmark and James I attended church on 30 July 1605. The route, however, follows Church End Road and then continues as it becomes Standalone Warren. At Appley Wood Corner you will see an entrance to "Chicksands Woods", which is part owned by the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom).  There is also a cycle, foot and bridle path leading towards Shefford, Bedfordshire from this location.

Staying on the Greensand Cycleway, continue along Standalone Warren until the next T-junction. Bear right and continue on to the crossroads with the A600. "Chicksands Bike Park"  is at the top of the warren in "Rowney Warren Woods" on the right. A refreshment van has been known to ply its trade at this location at weekends and holidays.

Cross the A600 and continue along Standalone Warren, keeping the woodland on your right. Follow the road round passed Southill Sawmills and continue onto the Bedford Road towards Old Warden. Old Warden comprises a number of pretty cottages, a village hall, the Hare & Hounds pub, a cricket club and church. It is also home to the Shuttleworth Collection and Shuttleworth College (Bedfordshire), an agricultural college. Continue along Bedford Road bearing left downhill past the cricket grounds and the Abbey Church of St Leonard. Turn left down Warden Road towards Ickwell.

Ickwell is a striking hamlet with its oversized village green which commodiously accommodates the village cricket club and some very old oaks. The cycle route continues along through the green and out towards Northill where the "Crown", a pub and restaurant, parts of which date back to the 17th century, awaits between the church and the village pond.

Continue through the village and towards Thorncote Green and Franklin's farm and poultry shop with their "freerange children". Continue along Thorncote Road until Hatch where you follow the signs right, along a path leading to Brook End Farm. Cross the staggered crossroads into the lane that leads to the Green at Beeston, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Bistone. Turn right along the Green and left into the Crescent. To continue the route, cross the bridge over the A1, follow the road for 50m before turning right into "The Baulk" and through the path over the River Ivel. Here follow the path round to the right leading to Ivel Road and then on to the High Street at Sandy, Bedfordshire. Buses are to be had in the town centre turning left along High Street, or trains from the station further down High Street to the right.

A good cycleway from the A1 at the north end of Sandy leads westwards back to Bedford.

title: Erg Chech

text:
The Erg Chech (), is a large erg in southwestern Algeria and northern Mali.

Geography
It is an almost uninhabited part of the greater Sahara Desert, an inhospitable desert region with long, extremely hot summers and short, very warm winters. The Erg Chech is a vast sandy expanse including compound and complex linear and star dunes. The mean elevation of the Erg Chech is just above 300 m, slightly lower than the neighboring Erg Iguidi stretching to the north. The barren plain of the Tanezrouft is located to the southeast.

One of the localities of the commune of Akabli in Aoulef District, Adrar Province, Algeria, is named 'Erg Chech'.

Meteorites

About  of meteorites were collected in the Chergach strewn field, located in the Erg Chech north of Taoudenni, during the fall and winter 2007. Desert nomads reported that during daytime in July 2007 several detonations were heard over a wide area, a smoke cloud was seen and several stones fell from the sky, however no fireball was reported. Ouled Bleila was the finder of the first meteorites, but he died in October 2007 in a car accident on his way back from the trip to the Chergach strewn field. According to the Tuareg people, the elliptical strewn field stretches for more than .
In 2020 another meteorite was found.  These rocks represent bits of meteorite Erg Chech 002, the oldest pieces of volcanic rock ever found, likely from an ancient protoplanet.  These finds were used to confirm the Aluminuium-26 heterogeneity in the early solar nebula <Krestianinov et al. 2023>

title: Black Homestead Farm

text:
The Black Homestead Farm is a historic farm located west of Carrollton in Greene County, Illinois. Margaret Black, one of the county's first settlers, established the farm in 1821. The farmhouse, built two years later, is the oldest surviving house in Greene County. Architect William Reay designed the brick Federal house, which features a symmetrical plan with evenly spaced windows, an oval fanlight above the original main entrance, and a gable roof with chimneys at each end. A new entrance with a Greek Revival porch was placed on the house in 1855. Other 19th-century farm buildings on the property include a smokehouse, wash house, carriage house, and horse barn. The farm raised livestock and grew grain through the 19th and 20th centuries, as was typical of Greene County farms; it still has active corn and soybean crops.

The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 24, 2005.

title: Horror Double Bills

text:
≤≤←

The BBC2 Horror Double Bills were seasons of classic horror movies broadcast annually in the UK on BBC2 television between 1975 and 1983, with a revival in 1993. They provided rare opportunities (in a pre-VHS or DVD era) to see some of these films.

Format and content
Each Saturday night during the summer (usually July and August), two horror, science-fiction or fantasy movies would be shown, the majority of which were from Universal and Hammer studios, though lesser known movies were also featured. The first season was broadcast in 1975, under the title "Midnight Movie Fantastic", though the season title would vary throughout the years ("Horror Double Bill," "Monster Double Bill," "Dracula, Frankenstein & Friends"). The third season in 1977 ("Dracula, Frankenstein & Friends"), featured the best known Universal monster titles (paired with each other or a Hammer/AIP title), whilst the final original season in 1981 consisted of titles from Val Lewton's horror cycle made for RKO paired with more obscure modern titles.

After seven years, there was no season in 1982. A final series of Double Bills was broadcast during the summer of 1983, although this season was entirely made up of the classic Universal horrors from the 1930s and 1940s, all of which had been shown before, predominantly in the 1977 season "Dracula, Frankenstein & Friends."

The 1990s

After 1983, the BBC rested the format. However the Double Bills returned in 1993 following the success of an all-night Halloween horror marathon on BBC2 a year earlier.  The marathon was introduced and linked by Dr. Walpurgis, played by Guy Henry and created by Kim Newman. The other event of that evening was the broadcast of Ghostwatch on BBC1 starring Michael Parkinson, Mike Smith & Sarah Greene. During this evening, it was intended that Dr. Walpurgis would have the privilege of introducing for the first time on British TV the uncut version of Curse of the Werewolf (Hammer 1960), which the doctor described as having "extra stalk and slash scenes." However, problems led to the showing of the usual cut version of the film. The uncut version aired a few months later.

Dr. Terror's Vault of Horror was broadcast on Fridays on BBC1 between September and December 1993 and featured Guy Henry's character, though he was renamed Dr. Terror. The Double Bills only ran one year, although Dr. Terror would return to introduce individual horrors in 1994 and 1996.

title: 2014 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships

text:
The 2014 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, also known as the 2014 Hancock Prospecting Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, a long course (50 m) event, was held in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, from 21 to 25 August 2014.

Qualifying criteria
Unlike the World Championships and Olympic Games, nations can enter as many people as they like in the preliminaries of each event (in most international meets, only two swimmers from each nation are permitted). However, only two swimmers per nation can qualify for the semi-finals and finals. Prior to FINA's creation of semi-finals in the late 1990s, a total of 3 swimmers per country could qualify for the final and consolation heats of an event, with no more than 2 swimmers per country in a final or consolation.

For relays, each country may enter up to one team in each relay event to swim in the final heat and count toward the team score. Countries may also enter a “B” relay that will swim in a preceding heat. These “B” relays may not score points and are not eligible for medals.  An NOC may enter up to 1 swimmer per sex (2 total), if they have no swimmers meeting any qualifying B standard.

title: Pedro Nuno

text:
Pedro Nuno Fernandes Ferreira (born 13 January 1995), known as Pedro Nuno, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Azerbaijan Premier League club Sabail.

Club career
Born in Buarcos, Figueira da Foz, Pedro Nuno finished his youth spell with local Académica de Coimbra, joining the club at the age of 17. On 16 August 2014, he made his first-team – and Primeira Liga – debut, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute for Richard Ofori in a 1–1 home draw against Sporting CP. He scored his first goal the following 23 May 2015 in the last matchday, a 2–4 loss to Vitória S.C. also at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra.

Pedro Nuno netted four times in only 12 games in the 2015–16 season, but his team returned to the Segunda Liga after a 14-year stay. On 28 November 2016 he signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with defending champions S.L. Benfica, moving to C.D. Tondela on loan nine days later.

On 9 July 2018, Pedro Nuno cut ties with the Estádio da Luz-based club and joined Moreirense F.C. for three seasons. He scored five goals in his debut campaign, helping the side to finish sixth and narrowly miss out on qualification for the UEFA Europa League.

Pedro Nuno spent the vast majority of 2020–21 on the sidelines, after rupturing the ligaments in his right knee. In June 2021, he agreed to a three-year deal at B-SAD.

On 23 June 2022, Pedro Nuno was due to sign for Maccabi Bnei Reineh F.C. in the Israeli Premier League, but he was released one month later. In August, he moved to the Turkish TFF First League on a one-year contract at Adanaspor.

On 4 July 2023, Pedro Nuno joined Azerbaijan Premier League club Sabail FK on a one-year contract.

title: Obstetrical Society of London

text:
The Obstetrical Society of London was formed in 1858 and merged in 1907 with the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London to form the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM).

History
The Society was set up in 1858, the successor to an Obstetric Society dating from 1825, and in the aftermath of the Medical Act 1858. The founding group included James Hobson Aveling, Robert Barnes, Graily Hewitt, Henry Oldham, Edward Rigby, William Tyler Smith, Thomas Hawkes Tanner, and John Edward Tilt., Sir Charles Locock and Sir George Duncan Gibb.

Over its first 15 years the membership of the Society rose to about 600. The Act's proposals included regulation of medical practitioners, taken at the time to include midwifery; and the Society turned in time to certifying midwives. The diploma introduced in 1872 recognised the role of the midwife, in supervising "normal labour".

A dispute over ovariotomy, which other members opposed, led Barnes to leave and found the British Gynaecological Society in 1884. In the election for the presidency at the end of that year, matters came to a head when Alfred Meadows, supported by Aveling and Barnes, failed to be chosen by the Council. In 1907 both societies merged into the Royal Society of Medicine.

title: Rasasvada

text:
Rasāsvāda means – appreciation, sipping of juice, perception of pleasure; in Indian philosophy, it refers to the taste of bliss in the absence of all thought which is an obstacle in the path leading to  Nirvikalpa Samādhi ; it is aesthetic consciousness. Rasasvada means one gets a power of healing or a power of knowing the mind which gives enjoyment but this enjoyment is superficial enjoyment or happiness which should not be sought while seeking Truth.

Obstacles to Samadhi and their removal
Indian thought has identified four obstacles in the path leading to  Nirvikalpa Samādhi , they are – laya (torpidity),  vikṣepa  (distraction),  kāśaya  (attachment) and rasāsvāda (enjoyment). Sadananda explains that Laya is the lapse of the mental state into sleep because of the failure to rest on the Absolute. Vikṣepa is the resting of the mental state on things other than the Absolute, because of the failure to rest on It. Kāśaya is the failure of the mental state to rest on the Absolute, owing to the numbness brought on by impressions due to attachment even when there is no torpidity or distraction. But with regard to Rasāsvāda , Sadananda tells the followers of Advaita Vedanta:-

 अखण्डवस्त्वनवलम्बनेनापि चित्तवृत्तेः सविकल्पकानन्दस्वादनं रसास्वादः |
 समाध्यारम्भसमये सविकल्पकानन्दस्वादनं वा ||२१३||

that enjoyment (rasāsvāda) is the tasting by the mental state of the bliss of  Savikalpa Samadhi  owing to the failure to rest on the Absolute; or it may mean continuing to taste the bliss of Savikalpa Samādhi while taking up the Nirvikalpa Samādhi. in this context, Swami Nikhilananda clarifies that the bliss here is the bliss which is lower than that obtained through the Nirvikalpa Samādhi, and the term "continuing" is indicative of not having the strength to give up, as it should.

Distinction between Rasasvada and Brahmasvada
Indian thinkers had come to classify Consciousness as "Aesthetic consciousness" and "Mystical consciousness" but according to Abhinavagupta there is no distinction between rasāsvāda (aesthetic consciousness) and brahmasvāda (mystical consciousness), both are at par. Masson and Patawardhan have presented thirteen similarities that Abhinavagupta had found – 1) everything is blissful in the state of rasa, 2) one forgets own presence, 3) there is no material gain, 4) both experiences are aloukika (transcendental), 5) both experiences are ānandaikaghana (bliss of unity); 6) in both, distance between subject and object is removed, 7) time and space disappear during the experience of both, 8) there is total immersion, 9) special preparation is necessary, 10) rasa is not produced but suggested and Brahman is only a question of removal of ignorance, 11) obstacles must be removed to experience rasa and Brahman, 12) in both cases there is a sense of rest of having reached the goal beyond which there is nothing to be accomplished, and 13) the aesthetic experience or the mystical experience are not the ultimate goals.

Doctrine of Rasa in Sanskrit literature
The Rasa doctrine of literature is based on two premises – i) that literary works, as verbal compositions, express emotive meanings and ii) that all literature is typically emotive discourse or discourse that has to do with the portrayal of feelings and attitudes rather than with ideas, concepts, statements of universal truth and so forth. The first premise raises philosophical questions with regard to kind of entities of emotions, their objective or ontological status, recognition, modes of expression, etc. The second premise relates to the problem of defining literature. Rasa, originally propounded by Bharata and which is multifaceted, is the most important concept in Sanskrit criticism and has influenced the theories of dance and the visual arts; this term means – aesthetic relish, and comprehends two ideas – that it denotes the relishable quality inherent in an artistic work and that it refers to the relishable experience occasioned by the work in the reader or the spectator. Every work - poem or play – is supposed to treat an emotive theme and communicate a distinct emotional flavor and mood. But, Bharata does not refer to Rasa as a semblance of a mental condition or an experience of an illusion of reality, for to describe it as a copy is to presuppose the existence of the object imitated, and that which appears as a copy of the mood cannot be traced.

Significance
In Rasasvada the sthayibhava (basic mental states) persists in the self, spiritual ecstasy is on the other hand free from any mental experience whatsoever; the mystical ecstasy is dominated by pure consciousness (Citta).

title: Sehebre

text:
Sehebre was a ruler of the Fourteenth Dynasty of Egypt, ruling for three to four years around 1700 BC during the Second Intermediate Period. According to Egyptologists Kim Ryholt, Jürgen von Beckerath, and Darrell Baker, he was the fifth king of the dynasty. As such he would have ruled over the eastern Nile Delta – and possibly over the western Delta as well – from his capital at Avaris.

Attestation
Sehebre is known solely from the Turin canon, a king list redacted during the early Ramesside period, over 400 years after Sehebre's reign. According to the latest reading of the canon by Ryholt, Sehebre's name is given on the 9th column, row 4 of the document (corresponding to entry 8.4 of Gardiner and  von Beckerath reading of the canon). Sehebre is credited a reign of 3 to 4 years, an unknown number of months and 1 day by the canon.

Identity
No contemporary attestation of Sehebre is known to this day. However, Ryholt points out that this stands at odds with Sehebre's reign length of three to four years, the longest reign of the 14th Dynasty and only equaled by his successor Merdjefare. At the opposite, kings with shorter reigns, such as Nehesy who reigned around 1 year, are well attested by contemporary artefacts. Thus, Ryholt suggests that Sehebre is to be identified with either Wazad or Sheneh, both of which are well-attested rulers of the 14th Dynasty, but who do not appear in the Turin Canon.

text:
Pancratium sickenbergeri is a species of flowering plant in the Amaryllidaceae family. It is a Saharo-Arabian plant that grows in deserts, such as the Negev. It is native to Israel, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. The flowers look like the Mediterranean species Pancratium maritimum, but the leaves of P. sickenbergeri are curly and the plant is much smaller. Unusually for the desert, the seeds are distributed by floodwaters when they occur in the winter.

title: Ram Mandir railway station

text:
Ram Mandir railway station (station code: RMAR) is a railway station on the Western and Harbour lines of the Mumbai Suburban Railway, serving the Oshiwara locality. The station is located in between Jogeshwari railway station and Goregaon railway station and is named after the century-old temple of Lord Ram in its vicinity. The station was opened to commuters on 22 December 2016.

History
The Ram Mandir Road station, the 37th station on the Western Line, was inaugurated on 22 December 2016, by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, after seemingly interminable stages of construction since 2008. Its first train, running from  to towards Borivli, arrived at 6 pm, while another bound for Churchgate pulled up at 6.10 pm.

The distance between Jogeshwari and Goregaon stations was considered long enough, hence this station was created.

The station has four platforms, two each for Western line slow trains and two for Harbour line section. Harbour line was extended to  on 29 March 2018.

The station got its name from a 150 year old temple of Lord Ram. The temple is located on sprawling grounds, in Goregaon West, and its weathered dome lends it a pleasant patina of age. A signboard inside the temple informs visitors that it was renovated in 1897, and residents say that a temple existed at the current location prior to that year. The idols—of Lord Ram, Lakshman and Sita—inside the sanctum sanctorum of the smaller temple, were transferred to the renovated structure.

title: Erich Schmid (physicist)

text:
Erich Schmid (4 May 1896, in Bruck an der Mur – 22 October 1983, in Vienna) was a physicist from Austria. He made important discoveries in the field of crystal plasticity.

Schmid studied physics and mathematics at the University of Vienna and received his doctorate in 1920 under the supervision of Felix Ehrenhaft. He then became the assistant of Ludwig Flamm. In 1951 he accepted a position at the University of Vienna and stayed there until retiring in 1967.

One of his most successful contributions is the book "Plasticity of Crystals: with special reference to metals" ("Kristallplastizität: Mit Besonderer Berücksichtigung der Metalle") which he coauthored with Walter Boas. In 1960 the Austrian Academy of Sciences awarded him the Erwin Schrödinger Prize and named the institute for material sciences after him ("Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science"). He was also awarded the Wilhelm Exner Medal, the Austrian Decoration for Science and Art and the Ring of Honour of the City of Vienna.

The Schmid Factor (or Schmid's Law) is named for him.

title: The Boat Race 1870

text:
The 27th Boat Race between crews from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge took place on the River Thames on the 6 April 1870. Cambridge won by  lengths in a time of 22 minutes 4 seconds, their first victory since the 1860 race.

Background
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  The race was first held in 1829, and since 1845 has taken place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having defeated Cambridge by three lengths in the previous year's race and led overall with sixteen wins to Cambridge's ten.

Cambridge were coached by George Morrison who had also coached them in 1869.  He had rowed in the 1859, 1860 and 1861 races and had also acted as a non-rowing president for the 1862 race,  yet the previous year's decision to engage a member of the opposing university was greeted with consternation and considered by many Cantabrigians as "a disgrace to the Club".  Morrison had also coached Oxford six times previously.   Oxford's coach was Frank Willan, who had rowed in four victories for the Dark Blues between the 1866 and the 1869 race.  He also rowed for Oxford against Harvard University in 1869. The race was umpired by Joseph William Chitty who had rowed for Oxford twice in 1849 (in the March and December races) and the 1852 race, while the starter was Edward Searle.

Crews
The two sets of rowers averaged the same weight, at 11 st 13.25 lb (75.7 kg) each.  Oxford's crew contained four Blues, two of whom (S. D. Darbishire and W. D. Benson) were rowing in their third consecutive race.  Similarly, Cambridge saw four of the 1869 crew return including the Cambridge University Boat Club president John Goldie and John Dale.

Race
According to Drinkwater, despite Oxford being "manifestly the weaker crew", they were pre-race favourites based on their "prestige".  A report in The Graphic noted that only two steamers were present, following the race, one carrying the umpire, the other to transport the Edward, Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VII) and the Francis, Prince of Teck amongst others.

Oxford won the toss and elected to start from the Surrey station, handing the Middlesex side of the river to Cambridge.  Cambridge took an early lead even though their stroke rate was lower than that of the Dark Blues, and led by three-quarters of a length by the time the crews shot Hammersmith Bridge.  Oxford stayed in touch for the next  but following a spurt, they almost levelled the race by Chiswick Eyot.  Cambridge's stroke John Goldie led a surge to pull back ahead of Oxford, and despite their best efforts, Oxford could not recover.  Cambridge won by  lengths in a time of 22 minutes 4 seconds.  The victory was Cambridge's first since the 1860 race, and brought the overall record to 16–11 in Oxford's favour.

title: Minister for Forestry (Western Australia)

text:
The Minister for Forestry is a position in the Cabinet of Western Australia. The minister is responsible for the Forest Products Commission, an agency of the government of Western Australia, and may hold other portfolios in addition to forestry. The current Minister for Forestry is Jackie Jarvis of the Labor Party, who holds the position as a member of the Cook Labor Government.

The responsibilities now incorporated in the portfolio were originally held by the Colonial Secretary, and subsequently the Minister for Lands. A separate Minister for Forests was not appointed until the 1917 Lefroy Ministry, with the inaugural minister being Robert Robinson. From the late 1950s to the early 1980s the forests and lands portfolios were generally held by the same person, and for a brief period during the Court Ministry the two portfolios were merged, under the title Minister for Lands and Forests. The portfolio was again merged with others during the late 1980s and 1990s, with the minister responsible for forestry known as the Minister for Conservation and Land Management from 1985 to 1993 and as the Minister for Primary Industries from 1993 to 2001. Although the portfolio has since then often been held by the Minister for Agriculture or the Minister for Fisheries, it has been once again a standalone portfolio since 2006.

List of ministers for forestry
Twenty people have been appointed as Minister for Forestry (or equivalent) in Western Australia, with William Bovell's 11 years and 335 days the longest time period in the position. In the table below, members of the Legislative Council are designated "MLC". All others were members of the Legislative Assembly at the time of their service. In Western Australia, serving ministers are entitled to be styled "The Honourable", and may retain the style after three years' service in the ministry.

title: Long Rhön

text:
The Long Rhön () is a ridge in the Central Rhön which forms part of the High Rhön within the Rhön Mountains. The Long Rhön is an elongated basalt plateau in the centre, roughly 800 metres above sea level, which is only occasional interrupted by mountain peaks. Its highest  mountain is the Heidelstein (). A majority of the area is part of the Long Rhön Nature Reserve. In this area of the Rhön is the Black Moor.

Natural region grouping

The Long Rhön was first defined in 1968 as part of the natural region classification (M = 1:200,000) as a natural region and grouped as follows:
(to 35 East Hessian Highlands)
(to 354 High Rhön)
(to 354.1 Central Rhön)
354.11 Long Rhön

Boundaries

The boundary of the Long Rhön in the west along the Ulster valley may be taken from Hilders to its source roughly on the 600-metre-contour. The B 278 and an imaginary line several hundred metres west to roughly the height of the Rhönhaus separates it from the Wasserkuppen Rhön. The treeline as far as the Rhönkopf may be taken as the boundary with the Eastern slopes of the Long Rhön to the south and east of the area, continued by an imaginary line running north-northeast to the L1123 near Reichenhausen. The boundary in the north with the Auersberg Kuppenrhön is once again the 600-metre-contour and thuse circumnavigates the Buchschirm.

Climate and Vegetation

In 1969, Frankenheim had the following climatic statistics: 940 mm of precipitation, about 125 days of mist and fog during the year, and an average annual temperature of 5.1 °C.
As a result of centuries of deforestation a harsh, grassland countryside has evolved on the Long Rhön. Reforestation was not undertaken until 1815. Over 80% of the land is used for agriculture.

title: Badi ki dhar

text:
Badi Ki Dhar also known as Badi Dhar is a holy place situated, near Solan city in Solan district, around  from Shimla in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is about  from Piplughat and can be seen from the famous Ridge ground of Shimla. Badi Dhar is situated at an altitude of 6781 feet above sea level. At the time of Britishers, they surveyed the Badi Dhar to establish Shimla, but people use to say that they were not successful to make is Shimla (due to some reasons or Devta Bara Dev Panch Pandav). Beautiful sights of Shimla as well as Pinjore-Zirakpur road can be seen from the top of the hill. Although only few can spot Pinjore-Zirakpur road from the top of the hill that is also during the nights only. The place is famous for its Lord Shiva temple and annual fair which is organised on 14/15 June. It is expected to rain on the fair day every year, which makes it popular in the whole District. Gathering of around 5,000 to 10,000 people is expected on that day.

History
Badi dhar was the part of District Mahasu (now Shimla) until 1972 in erstwhile tehsil Arki (Bhagal), later District Solan was formed in 1972 and it merged in district Solan.  It is said that the Pandava spent the last year of their exile at this place in the caves of the hill and forest. A temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is situated here, local people call him BaraDev and the name of this peak is also on his name.  It is said that pandavas visited this place after the battle of "Mahabharta", to atone the curse of killing their own brothers. They went in search of Lord Shiva for MOKSHA. They had been told by "Narad" that Lord Shiva is sitting on the peak of this range in meditation. After knowing the place they went there with a plan to meet Lord Shiva. As per saying Pandavas resided around the peak for eight days and on the ninth day they went to meet Lord Shiva. As they reached the top of mountain Shiva disappeared in a shape of buffalo to Kurukhestra leaving the "dhuni." After that Pandavas erected a temple here dedicated to Lord Shiva and every year people around this dhar recreate the same thing for eight days with Music such as big drums and other local music instruments and on ninth day they go to the peak with their five deities "The Pandavas". As per local saying Pandavas visited this place twice.

Mandi )), Shali ka tibba ( District. Shimla )) and southern himachal's highest sacred peak Churdhar (District. Shimla/solan/sirmour )).

Infrastructure
A drivable road goes from Shimla to Badi Ki Dhar. The state highway is  away. Well connected with road with direct bus from Solan to badi dhar. Place is good for trekking, providing excellent views and freshness due to the presence of Deodar(Ceder) and Ban(Oak). A sarai is built up there for night stay. A helipad is also built there at an altitude of  just  before the temple.

Temples
The local Hindu temple lies on a hill, and is known for scenic views, including sight of the towns of Himachal and Punjab. These sights are visible from this height.

Festival
Badi Ki Dhar is known for a fair that is held once every year on 14 June. The fair is dedicated to the worshiping of Lord Shiva including Pandava's. A beautiful Yatra of Pandava is done in the presence of huge numbers of people gathered at this place.
