title: Trilateral retinoblastoma

text:
Trilateral retinoblastoma is a malignant midline primitive neuroectodermal tumor occurring in patients with inherited uni- or bilateral retinoblastoma. In most cases trilateral retinoblastoma presents itself as pineoblastoma (pineal TRb). In about a fourth of the cases the tumor develops in another intracranial region, most commonly supra- or parasellar (non-pineal TRb), but there are reported cases with non-pineal TRb in the 3rd ventricle. In most cases pineal TRb is diagnosed before the age of 5, but after the diagnosis of retinoblastoma. Non-pineal TRb, however, is often diagnosed simultaneous with retinoblastoma.  Prognosis of patients with trilateral retinoblastoma is dismal, only a few patients have survived more than 5 years after diagnosis; all survivors were diagnosed with small tumors in a subclinical stage. Recent advances in (high-dose) chemotherapy treatment regimens and early detection have improved survival of patients with trilateral retinoblastoma.

title: Ernakulam–Kayamkulam coastal line

text:
Ernakulam–Kayamkulam coastal line is a railway line which runs along the coastal areas of Alappuzha, Ernakulam districts in Kerala state of India. The coastal railway line starts as a branch line from Ernakulam Junction railway station towards Alappuzha and joins with the route via Kottayam ( Ernakulam-Kottayam-Kayamkulam line) at Kayamkulam Junction. This is the only main track in Kerala yet to be doubled and the single line traffic causes major delays in the route. The coastal line has a total distance of .

History
The initial survey for the Ernakulam–Kayamkulam line via Alappuzha was started in 1975. The initial proposed alignment of the railway line from Ernakulam Junction to Alappuzha has been changed after protests from various quarters. This line was mentioned in 1977-78 final budget. The final alignment of the route which was approved was Ernakulam–Konthuruty–Nettor–Kumbalam–Aroor–Cherthala–Alappuzha. The construction of railway line was started on 15 April 1979 and the construction has been divided into two reaches as Ernakulam–Alappuzha reach and Alappuzha–Kayamkulam reach.

Ernakulam–Alappuzha section

The construction of this coastal railway line in Ernakulam Junction–Alappuzha railway station section was started in 1979. Construction of Alleppey-Ernakulam new B.G. Railway line has been included in the budget for 1979-80, with a proposed outlay, of Rs. 1 crore in the coming financial year 1979-80.
Around 140 hectares of land was acquired for laying the railway lines. 11 new railway stations and 6 major bridges have been constructed along this route. The Aroor Bridge is the Longest Bridge in this section having length of  The total cost outlay was 7 crores and the total length of the railway line is . The line was opened to railway traffic on 16 October 1989.

Alappuzha–Kayamkulam section
The construction of Alappuzha–Kayamkulam section was started as part of second phase of coastal railway development and the alignment was via Alappuzha–Punnapra–Ambalappuzha–Haripad–Kayamkulam. The total length of the railway line was  and the line was opened to railway traffic on 1992. Thus, the Ernakulam Junction–Alappuzha coastal railway line has been connected to Kayamkulam Junction railway station–Kollam Junction main railway line.

Stations
There are 18 stations along this route. Alappuzha, Cherthala, Haripad, and Ambalappuzha stations are the major stations along this route.

Electrification and track doubling
Ernakulam Junction–Alappuzha–Kayamkulam railway line is fully electrified. The double line work on  Kayamkulam–Haripad section has been completed and the double line track was commissioned in January 2012. The track doubling work for Haripad– Ambalapuzha was also commissioned. Hence there is a double line from Kayamkulam to Ambalapuzha with a track length of 31 km. Doubling of the  Long Aroor Bridge has started in 2019, but no sign of doubling as of September 2023.

The doubling works for the Ambalapuzha- Ernakulam junction sector is painfully slow. However, as of June 2021, The Railways has sanctioned an additional Rs 510 crore for acquiring land for the doubling of the line from Ernakulam to Thuravoor. This money bas been kept in the Collectorates of Ernakulam and Alappuzha districts without any further action.

No doubling works are initiated in this stretch as of September 2023. Railways are trying to complete the Ernakulam Junction - Kumbalam (7.71 km) stretch of the route in the first phase followed by Kumbalam - Thuravoor (15.59 km) and Thuravoor - Ambalapuzha (50 km) stretches in the second and third phases respectively. Ernakulam - Kumbalam stretch has the most number of bridges. The new estimate is as follows:

Ernakulam to Kumbalam : 600.82 crores.

Kumbalam to Thuravoor : 825.37 crores.

Thuravoor to Ambalapuzha : 1281 crores.

Rail traffic
The Ernakulam–Alappuzha–Kayamkulam coastal line has 20 express trains and 7 passenger trains running along this route.

There is also freight traffic through this line.

Needed development

 A bypass line connecting Cochin Harbour Terminus railway station line with Alappuzha line near Kochu Kadavanthra and Thevara. It will help decongest Ernakulam Junction railway station and help start more south bound trains via Alappuzha. Also CHTS has been reopened  to do the same.
 Timely completion of doubling of line and improvement of signalling in a manner such that headway will be minimum. This will help start Kollam - Alappuzha - Kochi suburban trains. This will lead to a circular rail for Kochi.
 Building a connection between Aroor Halt and Kanjiramattom on Ernakulam–Kottayam–Kayamkulam line so that a circular suburban rail network can be developed around Kochi. And decongest Ernakulam yard.
 This line is devoid of any high degree curves and hence is suitable for upgradation of permissible speeds upto 130kmph. Currently the two fastest trains in the state namely Jan Shatabdi Express and Rajdhani Express passes through this line with speeds above 90 kmph at certain reaches.
 Replacement of major level crosses in the section with flyovers. Especially on Haripad - Mavelikkara, Ambalapuzha - Thiruvalla, Cherthala - Arthunkal,  Haripad - Edathua roads and at Atlantis Junction of Kochi.
 Development of infrastructure, amenities and last mile connectivity to stations along the line.

title: 2005 Wales Rally GB

text:
The 2005 Wales Rally GB (formally known as 61st Wales Rally GB) was the 12th round of the 2005 World Rally Championship. The race was held over four days between 15 and 18 September 2005, and operated out of Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom.

Report
This rally saw the death of Markko Märtin's co-driver Michael Park of Peugeot after Märtin's 307 lost control and traction, causing it to go off-road and crash into a tree at Stage 15 of the rally. Peugeot decided to withdraw Marcus Grönholm from the event due to the accident.

Race organizers cancelled the rally's final two stages, when Sébastien Loeb, who was in the lead, decided to take a time penalty that gave Petter Solberg the victory in the race. Loeb’s victory would have earned him the 2005 world championship, but he decided he did not want to win the title in such tragic circumstances. As a result, Loeb deliberately opted to check in to the final time control late to incur a two-minute penalty which dropped him to third overall.

Competitors returned to Cardiff to a subdued victory ceremony, where the traditional champagne-spraying ceremony was cancelled and a minute's silence was held.

title: Adolph Hallis

text:
Adolph Hallis (4 July 1896 – 1987) was a South African pianist, composer and teacher.

Life
Hallis was born in Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony and travelled to England in his twenties, where he studied at the Royal Academy of Music; his teachers there included Tobias Matthay and Oscar Beringer. He made his debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1919, and after a wide-ranging European career settled back in South Africa in 1939, where he became a teacher at the University of the Witwatersrand. He died in South Africa in 1987.

Career
During his career Hallis premiered numerous works, including piano concertos by Alan Rawsthorne and Erik Chisholm.  He gave the first British performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's First Piano Concerto in Birmingham in 1936. Although Arnold Cooke's Piano Concerto (1939/'40) was written for Hallis, the outbreak of WWII prevented him giving its première, which was given instead by Louis Kentner with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Clarence Raybould in 1943 in a studio broadcast for the BBC's Third Programme. In 1938 he made, for Decca Records, the first complete recording of the piano Préludes of Claude Debussy. With Sophie Wyss, Alan Rawsthorne, Christian Darnton and Benjamin Britten he formed the Hallis Concert Society, which gave a number of innovative concerts in London in the period 1936–1939. These included British premieres of both contemporary and historical British and European music, including works of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, François Couperin, Arnold Cooke, Alban Berg, Paul Hindemith, Elisabeth Lutyens and Elizabeth Maconchy.

Amongst Hallis's compositions were film music, (sometimes under the pseudonym of "Hal Dolphe"), including music for two films of Alfred Hitchcock, Rich and Strange (1931) and Number Seventeen (1932). His other works include a piano concerto and various piano pieces.

His students included many South African keyboard players of the postwar generations, amongst them Michael Blake, Norman Olsfanger winner of first SABC piano competition SAMRO Prize, Marcelle Mierowsky, Neville Dove, Marian Friedman, Paul Hepker, Petronel Malan, Anton Nel, Elizabeth de la Porte, Renee Reznek, and Jeanne Zaidel-Rudolph.

title: Mohamed ben Issa

text:
Mohamed ben Issa or al-Hadi ben Issa (also nicknamed Sheikh al-Kamil ; 1467–1526) was a Moroccan Wali and founder of the Triqa Issawiya. He is considered the patron-saint of the city of Meknes.

His Tariqa has found many followers outside his native region, and today has outposts throughout Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.

A hagiography was done by 18th-century Moroccan historian Ahmed ibn al-Mahdi al-Ghazzal in his book an-Nour al-Shamil ().

Life
He originated from semlala a clan of the jazula or gzoula tribe in southern Morocco and may have been a descent of the jazulah of the awlad Abu siba, a saharawi tribe in southern Morocco who can trace their linage Idriss II idriss al azhar as the book nour al shamil from Ahmad al ghazali states

As his father was a follower of Imam al-Jazuli, he was born in the region of Safi amongst the Mukhatar clan of the Shaym tribe and travelled as a youngster with his father to Fes

Descendants
One of his grandsons has a mausoleum in Jamat Shaim, where it is referred to locally as Sidi Issa ben Makhlouf.

The 2014–15 European Rugby Challenge Cup pool stage was the first stage of the inaugural season of the new European Rugby Challenge Cup format, which replaced the European Challenge Cup as the second-tier European competition for clubs.

It involved 20 teams competing, across 5 pools of 4 teams, for 8 quarter-final places – awarded to the 5 pool winners and the 3 top-ranked pool runners-up.

The pool stage began in October 2014, and was completed in January 2015.

Seeding
The 20 teams were seeded through a new system based on a club's performance in their domestic league for previous season alone, whereas the previous tournament, the European Challenge Cup, seeded teams based on performance in European Competition over 4 previous seasons.

English teams were seeded by performance in the 2013–14 Aviva Premiership. The winner of the 2013–14 RFU Championship play-offs is the final English seed.
French teams were seeded by performance in the 2013–14 Top 14, promoted sides have been seeded based on their performance in the 2013–14 Pro D2
Irish, Italian, Scottish and Welsh teams were seeded by performance in the 2013–14 Pro12.

Teams were then placed into 4 Tiers, each containing 5 teams, based on their seeding. A draw determined which two second seeded teams completed Tier 1, and based on this, the fourth seeded teams were allocated to either Tier 2 and Tier 3.

Given the nature of the Qualifying Competition, a competition including developing rugby nations and Italian clubs not competing in the Pro12, Rugby Europe 1 and Rugby Europe 2 are automatically included in Tier 4, despite officially being ranked 1/2 from that competition.

The brackets show each teams seeding and their league (for example, 1 Top 14 indicates the team has been seeded 1st from the Top 14).

Pool stage
The draw took place on 10 June 2014, at the Stade de la Maladière in Neuchâtel.

Teams will play each other twice, both at home and away, in the group stage, that will begin on the weekend of 16/17/18/19 October 2014, and continue through to 22/23/24/25 January 2015, before the pool winners and three best runners-up progress to the quarter finals.

The pool stage of the competition uses the same competition point system as previous European competitions, where, based on the result of the match, teams receive:
 4 points for a win,
 2 points for a draw,
 1 attacking bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match,
 1 defensive bonus point for losing a match by seven points or less.

Based on these competition points, the five pool winners from each group, will progress to the quarter-finals, along with the three best pool runners-up from the competition. If at any point in the competition there is a tie between two or more teams from the same pool, the following criteria will be used as tie-breakers:
 The club with the greater number of competition points from only matches involving tied teams.
 If equal, the club that scored the most tries in those matches.
 If equal, the club with the best aggregate points difference from those matches.

If this does not separate teams, and/or the tie relates to teams that haven't played each other (i.e. are in different pools), the following tie breakers are used:
 The club that scored the most tries in the pool stage.
 If equal, the club with the best aggregate points difference from the pool stage.
 If equal, the club with the fewest players suspended in the pool stage.
 If equal, the drawing of lots will determine a club's ranking.

Fixtures were announced on Thursday 14 August 2014 at 2 pm.

The 2014–15 European Rugby Champions Cup pool stage was the first stage of the 20th season of European club rugby union, and the first to be organised under the new European Rugby Champions Cup format, which replaced the Heineken Cup as the top European competition for clubs.

It involved 20 teams competing, across 5 pools of 4 teams, for 8 quarter-final places – which were awarded to the 5 pool winners and the 3 top-ranked pool runners-up.

The pool stage began on the weekend of 17–19 October 2014, and was completed on the weekend of 23–25 January 2015.

Seeding
The 20 teams were seeded through a new system based solely on clubs' performance in their domestic leagues for the previous season, whereas the previous tournament, the Heineken Cup, seeded teams based on performance in European competition over 4 previous seasons.

English teams were seeded by performance in the 2013–14 Aviva Premiership. Club seeding was based on regular season competition (Rounds 1 – 22) only.
French teams were seeded by performance in the 2013–14 Top 14. Clubs were seeded based on performance in the regular season and subsequent play-off phase
Irish, Italian, Scottish and Welsh teams were seeded by performance in the 2013–14 Pro12. Clubs were seeded based on performance in the regular season and subsequent play-offs.

Where teams were seeded based on play-off performance, if teams were eliminated in the same round of a knock-out tournament, their league position at the end of the regular season determined which team received a higher seed.

Teams were then placed into 4 Tiers, each containing 5 teams, based on their seeding. A draw determined which two second seeded teams completed Tier 1, and based on this, the fourth seeded teams were allocated to either Tier 2 and Tier 3.

The brackets show each team's seeding and their league (for example, 1 Top 14 indicates the team was seeded 1st from the Top 14).

title: Porsche Type 12

text:
The Porsche Type 12 was a German project to develop an "Everyman's automobile" (Auto für Jedermann) for Zündapp. Fritz Neumeyer, then owner of Zündapp, ordered Ferdinand Porsche to design and build the prototype in 1931. Eventually, two saloons, and one drophead coupé were built. All of those cars were lost during World War II, the last one in a bombing raid in Stuttgart in 1945. The Type 12 is considered an important early step in the development of the original Volkswagen. A replica of the Type 12 is on static display at the Museum Industrielkultur in Nürnberg.

Comparison with contemporary car concepts

It was an early example of the aerodynamic / rounded designs that came somewhat in vogue in the 1930s, developed concurrently with Mercedes-Benz's 120H, and ahead of Tatra's second V570 prototype, and DKW's F2-based, one-off rear-engined streamline prototype — both in 1933. In production cars the style was typified by the 1934 Chrysler and DeSoto Airflow, Toyota's AA copy of these (1936), and the eventual "People's car", the 1938 KdF-Wagen aka the Volkswagen Type 1 or Beetle.
Contemporaneous prototypes with a more extreme focus on aerodynamics were the 1933 Dymaxion car and Karl Schlör's Schlörwagen, developed from 1936 to 1939.

Description

The vehicle has a single, U-profile, central beam frame as opposed to the VW Beetle's central tube platform chassis. The car's body (made by Reutter) has – for its time period – a reasonably aerodynamic shape with covered rear wheel arches. Both the front, and the rear axles are leaf sprung and feature a single, transverse leaf spring each. Porsche used a worm-gear steering box and four hydraulic drum brakes on the Type 12. The car already has the VW Beetle-typical drivetrain design with a combined rear gearbox differential unit with the engine directly flanged to its rear end, which means that, the rear axle is a swing axle, located in between the gearbox, and the engine. This was technically feasible because the engine was rather short in length. Unlike the VW Beetle, the Porsche Type 12 has a wet single disc clutch.

The engine is a five-cylinder radial Zündapp-made Otto (spark ignition) engine, rather than the flat four Porsche preferred. The five-cylinder Zündapp engine is water-cooled, and has a regular water pump. The camshaft is of the cam drum variety (i. e. a very short camshaft) and actuates two overhead valves per cylinder. With its 70 by 62 mm bore and stroke, the engine displaces . It has a compression of ε=5.3, a single Zenith 26 mm carburettor, and produces  at 3200/min. The car's top speed is .

title: Macrorhineura

text:
Macrorhineura is an extinct genus of rhineurid amphisbaenian or worm lizard, including the type and only species Macrorhineura skinneri, named in 1970 on the basis of the front half of a skull from the Early Miocene Sharps Formation in Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Although the skull is incomplete, features such as a pointed, shovel-shaped snout indicate that it belongs to the family Rhineuridae. Within Rhineuridae, Macrorhineura is most closely related to Ototriton and Hyporhina, two genera from the Eocene and Oligocene of Colorado and Wyoming, based on the shared feature of equally sized dentary teeth in the lower jaw. Together they form a clade or evolutionary grouping of mid-continental rhineurids, which became isolated from a more western clade of rhineurids that includes Dyticonastis and Spathorhynchus. Rhineurids were relatively common across much of North America during the Paleogene, but their range contracted in the Neogene as the climate became colder, leaving only one living species in Florida, Rhineura floridana. The presence of Macrorhineura in the Miocene shows that mid-continental rhineurids persisted into the Neogene, although by this time their distribution range was already shrinking.

title: Little Beach, Portland

text:
Little Beach is a small secluded beach on the eastern side of the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England; part of the Jurassic Coast. It is found at East Weares, below Grove Point, and is found in close proximity of the two Salt Pans. The East Weares area, including Little Beach, has been labelled a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), largely due to the surrounding scrub and wildlife being of high nature conservation value.

Along with Church Ope Cove further south along the eastern side of Portland, Little Beach is one of the few beaches on Portland. However unlike Church Ope, Little Beach is often undisturbed.

As part of the anti-invasion measures during World War II, a minefield was placed above Little Beach, amongst other sites across East Weares. It formed part of the Isle of Portland Defences and Dorset Coastal Defences and was laid out in 1940-41.

Access
Little Beach can be reached via a pathway veering off the official coastal path of the East Weares area. A similar pathway further north links to the Salt Pans, and the remains of the Folly Pier Waterworks. The beach can also be reached via the coastline edge as well.

text:
is a fictional dish originating from Aristophanes' 391 B.C. comedy Assemblywomen, deriving from a transliteration of the Ancient Greek word . In A Greek–English Lexicon, it is defined as a "name of a dish compounded of all kinds of dainties, fish, flesh, fowl, and sauces".

It is the longest Greek word, containing 171 letters and 78 syllables. The transliteration has 183 Latin characters and is the longest word ever to appear in literature, according to the Guinness World Records (1990).

Variant forms
The form of the word quoted here is the version listed in the Liddell & Scott Greek lexicon (1940) and quoted therein as being amended by August Meineke, contrasting F.W. Hall and W.M. Geldart's 1907 edition of Aristophanis Comoediae (used in the Assemblywomen play) variant of (differences underlined): .

Description
The dish was a fricassée, with at least 16 sweet and sour ingredients, including the following:
 Fish slices
 Fish of the elasmobranchii subclass (a shark or ray)
 Rotted dogfish or small shark's head
 A generally sharp-tasting dish of several ingredients grated and pounded together
 Silphion, possibly a kind of giant fennel, now believed extinct
 A kind of crab, shrimp, or crayfish
 Honey poured down
 Wrasse (or thrush)
 A kind of sea fish or blackbird as topping
 Wood pigeon
 Domestic pigeon
 Rooster
 The roasted head of dabchick
 Hare, which could be a kind of bird or a kind of sea hare
 New wine boiled down
 Wing and/or fin

Context
The term is used in the ultimate chorus of the play, when Blepyrus (and the audience) are summoned to the first feast laid on by the new system.

English translations
In English prose translation by Leo Strauss (1966), this Greek word is rendered as "oysters-saltfish-skate-sharks'-heads-left-over-vinegar-dressing-laserpitium-leek-with-honey-sauce-thrush-blackbird-pigeon-dove-roast-cock's-brains-wagtail-cushat-hare-stewed-in-new-wine-gristle-of-veal-pullet's-wings".

English verse translation by Benjamin Bickley Rogers (1902) follows the original meter and the original form of composition:

An older English verse translation by Rev. Rowland Smith (1833) breaks the original word into several verses:

Season 1 (2014)
The first season consists of ten episodes and aired from June 29 to September 7, 2014. It takes place primarily in the small town of Mapleton, New York, three years after the "Sudden Departure" – an event which saw 2% of the world's population (approximately 140 million people) disappear and profoundly affected the townspeople. The characters of police chief Kevin Garvey and his family (wife Laurie, son Tom, daughter Jill and father Kevin Sr.) are focal points of the season, alongside grieving widow Nora Durst, her brother Reverend Matt Jamison, and the mysterious cult-like organization the Guilty Remnant (GR), led by Patti Levin.

The first season follows multiple storylines, notably the fallout from the Departure and the subsequent grief, anger and fear the townspeople share with the rest of the world. The season also focuses on Kevin's failing attempts to maintain order in the town and to keep his family together, the GR's increasingly nefarious schemes and the townspeople's sentiment against them, Matt's crisis of faith, and Nora's attempts to move on and conceal the pain she has been harboring since the Departure.

The first episode has no opening credits, while the opening theme for the other nine episodes is "The Leftovers (Main Title Theme)" by series composer Max Richter.

Season 2 (2015)
The second season consists of ten episodes and aired from October 10 to December 6, 2015. It takes place a year after the first season, centering on the fourth anniversary of the Departure. While some scenes take place in Mapleton, New York (the first season's setting) and other locations, the majority of the season takes place in Jarden, Texas, also known as Miracle, a town from which no one departed. The town has become a tourist site and a popular destination, leading Kevin, Nora, Matt and other characters from the first season to move to Miracle. New characters introduced include town staples the Murphy family: father John, mother Erika, daughter Evie and son Michael.

The second season follows multiple storylines, notably the ideological battle between those who believe Miracle is special and those who do not, Kevin and Nora's relationship being tested by Kevin's increasingly erratic mental state, the Murphy family's search for their missing daughter, and Matt's attempts to prove the existence of a miracle only he witnessed.

The opening theme for all ten episodes is "Let the Mystery Be" by Iris DeMent.

Season 3 (2017)
The third and final season consists of eight episodes and aired from April 16 to June 4, 2017. It takes place three years after the second season, centering around the seventh anniversary of the Departure. The first two episodes take place in Jarden, Texas (the second season's setting) and other locations, while the final six episodes primarily take place in the state of Victoria, Australia (which the characters believe will be the site of an apocalyptic event on the anniversary of the Departure). Kevin Sr. becomes a main character, after recurring in the first two seasons.

The third season follows multiple storylines, notably Matt and Kevin Sr.'s belief that the seventh anniversary of the Departure will bring an apocalyptic flood in Australia, Kevin coming to terms with his apparent immortality and coming to believe that it is his destiny to prevent the apocalypse, and Nora grappling with a scientific discovery that could reunite her with her family.

The first episode has no opening credits, while the opening theme for the final seven episodes changes with every episode.

title: Thomas Benson (1708–1772)

text:
Thomas Benson (1708– c. 1771), of Knapp House (alias Nap), Appledore, on the north Devon coast of England, was a ship-owner and merchant who was Sheriff of Devon in 1746–47 and MP for Barnstaple between 1747 and 1754. In 1753 he fled to Portugal from British justice, having been accused of customs duty evasion and maritime insurance fraud.

Biography
He was the second son of John Benson (died 1739) of Knapp by his wife Grace Melhuish. The Bensons were long established merchants at Bideford, with an established trade to France, Portugal and Placentia in Newfoundland. They also owned lime-kilns in Bideford, near Appledore. In 1737 Benson married his cousin Frances Melhuish (died 1752), a daughter of Roger Melhuish by his second wife Eleanor Barber. By Frances he had two sons and two daughters.

On his father's death in 1739 Benson inherited some of his ships and some property in Appledore together with £1,000. This was augmented when he became heir to his elder brother Peter, who died in 1743. In his will Peter tried to dissuade his brother Thomas from continuing in the family trade, as he considered the future economic climate to be unfavourable.

In 1745 Benson presented a silver punch bowl, inscribed with his armorials, to Barnstaple mayor and corporation. He was elected to Parliament as the member for Barnstaple in 1747, and the following year he acquired a lease of the island of Lundy, off the North Devon coast, for a rent of £60 per annum from John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower. Some time before 1753, Benson also purchased the estate of Halsbury in the parish of Parkham, near Bideford, from Roger Giffard (died 1763).

In 1747 he obtained a contract from the Government to transport English convicts, and gave the usual bond to the Sheriff to ship them to Virginia or to Maryland. However he shipped them instead to Lundy where he employed them as slave labourers in building walls, etc. His defence was that sending convicts to Lundy was the same as sending them to America, saying "they were transported from England, no matter where it was so long as they were out of the kingdom". His interpretation of the law was upheld.

Illegal activities
Despite the advice his brother left in his will, Benson continued to trade and expanded his operations into illegal activities including avoidance of paying customs duties on his imports, a large part of which were of tobacco from the American colonies, a trade in which Bideford was pre-eminent. He stored his smuggled goods in a cave on Lundy, which were discovered and the Sheriff of Devon was directed to levy the penalties on Benson. In 1752 he failed to pay some £8,000 of duty on imports valued at £40,000 and was prosecuted in the Court of Exchequer for non-payment. His estates, including Nap, were sequestered by the Crown.

In 1752 he obtained insurance at Exeter for his ship Nightingale which was fully laden with a valuable cargo of pewter, linen and salt, supposedly sailing for Maryland in America. However he gave orders to his captain and relative by marriage, John Lancey, to secretly unload the goods onto Lundy, and to scuttle the vessel. On 3 August 1752 the captain put the plan into action and scuttled the vessel in the Bristol Channel. The plot was discovered by the authorities following a confession by a crew member and Lancey was convicted, and hanged at Execution Dock in London on 7 June 1754. The episode is the subject of crime novel Hell and High Water by Tanya Landman.

Benson fled to Portugal in 1753, and his English assets and lands were seized by the Crown. Halsbury was later sold to the Davie family of nearby Orleigh. In Portugal he was joined by two of his remaining ships, and with his nephew Thomas Stafford he established one of the largest English trading companies in that country. He is said to have died in Oporto in 1771 at the age of 64, but no direct evidence of this has been found.

title: Cascada del Vino

text:
Cascada del Vino  is a Venezuelan water fall with the peculiar feature that the river has a tinged of burgundy-colored product of an organic compound, tannic acid derived from the roots of the trees surrounding the creek along its path . The waterfall is located in the Dinira National Park, on the edge of town Moran Lara State, in the mountains of Barbecue a mountain range that is part of the eastern region of the Venezuelan Andes.

Conservation
The low population density in the regions near the Dinira National Park and the absence of human communities within the park have definitely helped Dinira is an area with well-preserved ecosystems. The rugged terrain and lack of roads also contribute to maintaining the secluded park and, therefore, free from external problems threatening nature.

Comparing data Dinira National Park with other national parks, forest fires do not appear to be a serious problem. However, these fires cause alterations that have great impact on paramo vegetation and subpáramo and many endemic species in the area.

The waterfall of wine is a recreation area visited by the inhabitants of the region, although unregulated tourism, especially during the carnival season and Holy Week, when, though the exact number of visitors is unknown due to lack of records, it is estimated during each holiday brings about 2,500 people to the area

The main challenge of this large number of visitors is the notorious accumulation of debris around the waterfall and some illegal or improper activities like graffiti, logging, fires, vandalism, etc.

Journey

To reach the Cascada del Vino from Barquisimeto take the road Quíbor–El Tocuyo, which divides: the road to the left is the Pan American route is taken towards Trujillo, passing through the towns of San Pedro, La Pastora and soap until, after about 45 minutes to the town of Barbacoas, where only 10 minutes is the Cascada del Vino.

Take the road to the right at the fork in the road Quíbor–Tocuyo leads to a preference for rustic road cars, as trails are formed by curved stone at the edge of the mountains.

title: Catalina Federal Honor Camp

text:
The Catalina Federal Honor Camp, or Tucson Federal Prison Camp, located in the Santa Catalina Mountains, held men subject to the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans. It had no security fence, boundaries were marked with stones painted white. 45 of the 46 prisoners were draft resisters and objectors of conscience transferred from camps in Colorado, Arizona and Utah, although Gordon Hirabayashi, who had challenged the exclusion of Japanese Americans from the West Coast, was also held here.

The camp was established in the Coronado National Forest in 1939, under the authority of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, with plans to use inmate labor to build a highway connecting Tucson, Arizona to the mountains. Expanded in the 1940s, the Honor Camp consisted of four prisoner barracks, a mess hall, laundry facilities, power and storage facilities, a garage, a vocational shop, one classroom, an administration building, fifteen cottages for prison staff, and water and sewage systems; a baseball field and farmland were also part of the Honor Camp facilities. Most of the draft resisters brought to the camp were transferred from the Amache, Colorado (a concentration camp), although others came from Poston, Arizona and Topaz, Utah; all were transported in leg irons and under armed guard. Gordon Hirabayashi, on the other hand, convicted in 1943 of violating one of the civilian exclusion orders against Japanese Americans when he refused to go along with the government "relocation", hitchhiked from Spokane, Washington to the Catalina labor camp. The inmates performed road work for what would become the Catalina Highway, drilling holes for dynamite, breaking rocks with sledgehammers and clearing trees, as well as growing food and cooking for the prison population.

Hirabayashi served out his two 90-day sentences, and the draft resisters were pardoned in 1947, but the prison remained open until the highway was completed in 1951, when it became a labor camp for juvenile offenders. In 1967, the State of Arizona took over the camp and converted it to a youth rehabilitation center. The rehabilitation center closed in 1973 and the buildings were destroyed soon after, but many foundations and walls of the old structures remain. Today, the site serves as a campground and trail head, and is known as the Gordon Hirabayashi Recreation Site to honor the camp's most well-known inmate (whose conviction was overturned in 1987, after it was discovered that government officials withheld evidence that would have supported his case).

title: Owen Buckingham (1674–1720)

text:
Owen Buckingham (16 December 1674 – 5 March 1720) of Moulsford, Berkshire, was a British Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons  between 1708 and 1720. He died in a drunken fight with a friend.

Buckingham was the eldest surviving son of Sir Owen Buckingham of Moulsford and of St. Mildred's, Bread Street, London, former Lord Mayor of London and Elizabeth, the first of his six  wives. He was admitted to the Russia Company in 1698. Later, he  travelled abroad in Austria and Italy, and studied at Padua University in 1706.

Buckingham was returned as Whig Member of Parliament (MP) in a contest for Reading  at the 1708 British general election in succession to his father. He acted as teller for the Whigs and supported the naturalization of the Palatines in 1709. He voted for the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell in 1710. |At the 1710 British general election he was returned unopposed for Reading. He again acted as a teller and was an active opponent of the ministry's trade policy, voting against the French commerce bill in 1713. He was defeated at the 1713 British general election, but became a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber in 1714.

Buckingham was returned for Reading at a by-election on 6 June 1716. He was appointed a Commissioner for victualling the Navy in 1717 and was returned without opposition at the ensuing by-election. He voted with the Administration on the repeal of the Occasional Conformity and Schism Acts and on the Peerage Bill in 1719.

On 5 March 1720 Buckingham went to a birthday celebration at Windsor given by a friend, William Aldworth. They both became intoxicated and hots words were exchanged, whereupon they went outside and had a fight in the dark. Buckingham received a fatal wound, but took the blame upon himself  with his dying breath. He was unmarried.

title: Papa Don Schroeder

text:
Gerald Don Schroeder (December 29, 1940 – November 15, 2019), known professionally as Papa Don Schroeder, was an American radio station owner and former record producer, radio personality, and singer-songwriter, who was responsible for producing hit singles in the 1960s and 1970s by James & Bobby Purify, Carl Carlton, and others.

Biography
He was born in Pensacola, Florida, and attended Pensacola High School.  He grew up intending to study to become a doctor, and as a teenager worked during the summer as a lifeguard at Castle Park Resort in Holland, Michigan, where he started performing songs he had written.  He was heard by advertising executive Harry Smart, who recommended Schroeder to his friend Ewart Abner of Vee-Jay Records in Chicago.  As a result, Schroeder recorded a single for Vee-Jay produced by Calvin Carter, featuring his song "Melanie", so becoming the R&B label's first white artist.  Released in 1959, the record became a minor regional hit.

Schroeder attended the University of Tennessee, and began doing promotions and working as a DJ for radio station WATE, through which he met John Richbourg (John R.) who became his manager.  He recorded further singles under his own name in Nashville with producer Shelby Singleton for Philips Records, and at Sound Stage 7 Records. He also worked with Bobby Hebb in Nashville, and recorded with Gary S. Paxton in the Hollywood Argyles, as well as preparing demos in Muscle Shoals.  He had shows on radio station WKDA, and then started work for the Cedarwood music publishing company in Nashville, where he wrote songs with Mel Tillis and Wayne Walker, and produced demos. In 1963 he had his first songwriting success with "Those Wonderful Years", a country music hit for Webb Pierce, but then left to return to Pensacola.

Working for radio station WBSR, he became a local celebrity with the top-rated show in the area (the "Papa Ding-Dong Diddley Daddy Debatably Daring Dig'in Out Dash'n Dip Dig'in Don Schroeder Show"), mainly playing R&B music for a predominantly white audience.  Schroeder said:"I dreamed of bringing white people and black people together... and we did it...and packed it out... and never had a problem. It was phenomenal. That was a phenomenal statement in the '60s....  I played 75 percent black music and about 25 percent white music, and the white music I played was white music that I thought my black audience would put up with. But I was playing the black music I knew the white people would love, if they could just hear it. And that’s why we did the ratings we did."

He formed his own production company, Papa Don Productions, and arranged a record distribution deal with Larry Uttal of Bell Records. Schroeder also began promoting concerts by black musicians such as James Brown and Wilson Pickett.  In 1966 he produced Mighty Sam McClain's version of Don Gibson's song "Sweet Dreams", recorded with engineer Dan Penn at Muscle Shoals.  Through McClain, Schroeder was introduced to James Purify and Robert Lee Dickey, and produced the pair's recordings as James & Bobby Purify, including the hits "I'm Your Puppet" – written by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham –  and "Shake A Tail Feather", which was the first of Schroeder's productions to be recorded at Chips Moman's American Sound Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Schroeder also co-wrote several of the Purifys' recordings, and recorded two albums with the pair.  He also recorded and produced soul singer Oscar Toney, Jr.

In 1968, he built his own studio in Pensacola, but failed to recruit the musicians to make it successful.  After disagreements with James Purify, he closed down his record production business in 1969. In 1970, he took ownership of radio station WPNN in Pensacola, and remains the station president. He returned to record production in the mid-1970s, producing Carl Carlton's hit version of "Everlasting Love" as well as further tracks by James and Bobby Purify.

Schroeder died from throat cancer in 2019, aged 78.

"Try" was released as the first and only single on June 9 to the 16.

Background
Caillat wrote a full-length album in 2013, only to be told by her record company that she needed to find a new sound for her next album. She wrote over 60 songs for the album. In November 2013, she released the song "Hold On" as the intended lead single for the then-upcoming album. However, the song failed to connect with fans as well as hoped, and was ultimately left off the standard release of Gypsy Heart. To change the musical direction of the album, "Try" was selected instead to serve as the lead single for the Gypsy Heart (Side A) EP preceding the full album's release. Caillat describes the single "Try" as a "venting experience" after being told what she could and couldn't do for her own music. "To be told that your work isn't good enough – to do better, to be more like those pop artists out there that dress sexy and use Auto-tune on their voices – to be compared to someone so different, it hurt," she told Billboard. On June 9, she released Gypsy Heart (Side A), which contains the first five songs of the album. She stated to Billboard that she had wanted to release only a few songs because she thought "12 songs [were] too much to listen to at once".

Music and songs
Sonically, the EP is a musical departure from Caillat's previous releases, with a more produced sound. She stated in an interview with Fuse TV that working with new producers helped her "get out of [her] comfort zone". All of the songs on Gypsy Heart (Side A) are more produced than her usual releases, except for "Try". She describes the EP as "a fun new way to put out music", and as a blend of pop, folk, and R&B music. Of her collaboration with Babyface, Caillat says that "he just knows how to make the sound so crisp, and real, and current."

Promotion
Caillat embarked on the "Gypsy Heart Tour" to promote the album in the summer of 2014. The first stop was on July 17, 2014 in Saratoga, California.

Singles
"Hold On" was released originally as lead single on November 19, 2013, though the song was later omitted from the standard version of the album for uncertain reasons and was replaced by "Try" as Gypsy Heart'''s lead single. "Hold On" was however included in European versions of the album. "Try" was released as the album's second single worldwide and lead single in the United States on the day of the release of the EP, and a lyric video was released the following day featuring fans, as well as female celebrities such as Hoda Kotb, Miranda Lambert, Sara Bareilles, Katharine McPhee and the members of Fifth Harmony without makeup. "Just Like That" was released as promotional single on September 9.

Critical receptionGypsy Heart received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic wrote that Caillat "radiates good vibes so strongly, none of her calculated commercial considerations feels cold. And, as the sleekly modern Gypsy Heart proves, her charms are beguiling no matter her setting," giving the album 3.5 out of 5 stars and highlighted the tracks: "Live It Up", "Blaze", "Try", and "Bigger Love". Serena Weiss from The Ithacan stated that Gypsy Heart "can best be described as charming, with its hints of varying style in each song," and said that "the California singer has rendered a delightful album that will consistently intrigue listeners," while giving the album 3 out of 4 stars. Digital Journal editor Markos Papadatos gave the album even more positive review, said that "Colbie Caillat delivers on her latest album Gypsy Heart. Her songwriting is warm and sincere, and her vocals are gentle and heartfelt," and awarded the album 4.5 out 5 stars.

Kasmin Fernandes, writing for The Times of India, found that "while all the songs grow on you, they lack originality.Colbie has tremendous potential but plays it safe with this. She hasn’t managed to go beyond the usual route that new pop stars are taking. A little more experimentation would have made Gypsy Heart truly something that touches the soul. The production and finish of every song is good, making the album worth hearing... in small doses. On a less positive note, Jamie Parmenter from Renowned for Sound gave a mixed review and said that "despite the often predictable big choruses in most of the songs, the tracks are well thought out and work in their own right, it's just there’s too much unoriginality," and called it a "safe album" in which "Colbie almost seems scared to try something new and different." Magnus Hesse from laut.de summed the album as "soulless, ironed out and purely commercial."

Commercial performanceGypsy Heart'' debuted at number 17 on the US Billboard 200 chart in the week of October 18, 2014, with first week sales of 16,000 copies. By October 2016, the album had sold 91,000 copies in the United States.
