text:
Elsebeth Egholm (born 17 September 1960) is a Danish journalist and best-selling author who writes mainly crime fiction novels. She is known internationally as the creator of the television series Those Who Kill.

Early life
Born in Nyborg on the Danish island of Funen, she grew up in Lisbjerg near Aarhus, where her parents had a garden centre. After schooling in Aarhus, she matriculated from the state gymnasium in Hasle. She went on to study piano at the Music Conservatory of Jutland, where she remained for four years before switching to journalism at the Danish School of Journalism (Journalisthøjskolen) in 1985.

Career
After an apprenticeship with Berlinske Tidende in Copenhagen, she worked as a background reporter for the newspaper until 1992, when she quit and moved to Malta. There she worked both as a freelance journalist and as a short story writer for women's magazines such as Alt for Damerne. On the Maltese island of Gozo, she met her future husband, British thriller author Philip Nicholson, with whom she lived until his death in 2005. Her first major success was De frie kvinders klub (The Free Women's Club) in 1999, followed by Scirocco and Mig og min ø (Me and My Island) in 2000 and Opium in 2001, addressing the problems of marriage in a background of international intrigue.

Her series featuring the journalist Dicte Svendsen began in 2002 with Skjulte Fejl og Mangler (Hidden Errors), continuing with Selvrisiko (Own Risk), Personskade (Personal Damage), Nærmeste Pårørende (Next of Kin), Liv og Legeme (2008), and Vold og magt (2009). By this time, her novels were also being published in Germany, Holland, Sweden and Norway. Translations into English include Life and Limb (2012) Next of Kin, Three Dog Night (2013) and Dead Souls (2014).

In 2018 Egholm was awarded the Harald Mogensen Prize by the Danish Criminal Academy (Det danske Kriminalakademi, DKA) for her novel I always find you.

Television
The 10-episode television series Those Who Kill (2012), first broadcast in Denmark as Dem som dræber (2011), tells how police detective Katrina Ries Jensen investigates several gruesome murders with strange psychological overtones.

Dicte, a series based on several of Egholm's books, was first broadcast in Denmark in 2013. It is centred in Aarhus, Egholm's home town.

title: Mr India – The Ride

text:
Mr. India is a motion simulator ride at the Adlabs Imagica amusement park located in Khopoli, Mumbai, India. Manufactured by E2M technologies, the ride takes riders through the entire journey of Imagica in a wondrous car, where the riders will be helping the host, Mr. India,  to fight the iconic Bollywood villain, Mogambo.

Characteristics

This ride consists of three pre-shows that load at three different levels. Each pre-show has a door that opens on queue to load each of the three the main show levels. Each main show level has three cars that seat 16 guests. Hence each main show level has the capacity of 48 guests.Total capacity of the attraction is 144 guests per show.

Car

Mr. India operates with 9 steel and fiberglass cars at 3 different levels. Each car has four rows  that can seat four riders in a single row, for a total of 16  riders per car i.e. 48 riders at each level; each row has its own individual leg bar restraint. The structure of the cars are colored yellow and black; the seats are black and the restraints are silver.

Reception

The Creative director for Adlabs Entertainment Limited, Aarti Shetty said,"Mr. India is a star attraction in the park simply because of the recall value the film generates to this day. And our technology has brought the film alive. The old-world charm with the new-age tech makes the same experience fresher and more relevant. ‘Mr. India’ has achieved cult status among a wide target audience and that is why we acquired it much earlier. When we were looking for a film for this great motion base experience we immediately realized it was fortuitous.”

title: Jews in Latvia (museum)

text:
The Museum “Jews in Latvia” () is located in Riga, Latvia. The main tasks of the museum are the research and popularisation of History of the Jews in Latvia, as well as the collection and preservation of evidence regarding the community of Latvian Jews from its beginning until the present time. The museum was founded in 1989. It is part of the Latvian Jewish community and one of the few private museums in Latvia accredited by the state.

The current director since 2008 is Latvian historian Iļja Ļenskis.

History
The museum was founded by a group of Holocaust survivors, under the leadership of the historian Marģers Vestermanis in 1989. In the beginning, the museum acted as a centre of documentation, but in 1996 the first small, permanent exhibition was organised. Currently, the museum is located in three halls, showcasing the history of Latvian Jews from the 16th century until 1945. Lectures, educational programmes and different cultural events are organised in the museum.

Exhibition

The museum's exhibition consists of three parts – Jews in Latvia until the year 1918, Jews in Latvia in the years 1918 – 1941 and Jews in Nazi-occupied Latvia. The exhibition opens with the early period of Latvian Jewish history – from the arrival of Jews on Latvian territory in the 16th century until the 19th century. The exhibition speaks about social, economic, political, intellectual and religious life, the legal status of Jews as well as their participation in various historical events in Latvia. The third hall is devoted to the tragic events of the Holocaust on Latvian territory. A special chapter is devoted to the honourable deeds of those Latvian citizens who rescued Jews from nearly complete extermination.

The French film maker Philippe Labrune saw a photograph in the Jewish Museum  of 4 women and a girl and began an investigation to out who the girl was. He discovered that she was Sorella Epstein and a French documentary was made on the investigation. It was broadcast in France in 2015.

Building
The museum is located in the building of the Riga Jewish community, a historical building which was once a Jewish club and theatre. It was built in the years 1913-1914 by the architects Edmund von Trompowsky and Paul Mandelstamm. Here in 1926 a Jewish theatre troupe started its performances, and thus the building was renovated. Various public organisations and a Jewish library were also located in this building. Jewish celebrations were often organised here– weddings, lectures, shows and meetings. During the German occupation of Latvia (1941-1944), a German officers' club was located here. During Soviet times the building served as a place of political education: various ideological events, as well as congresses of the Communist Party, were held there. The building was given back to the Jewish community in the early 1990s. Currently, the building is a state-protected architectural monument.

Collection of museum
The collection of the museum “Jews in Latvia” is the foundation on which the museum bases its organisation of exhibitions and research. Currently, the museum has around 14,000 items. Of these items, more than 5,000 make up the main stock, which is included in the Latvian National collection of museums. The collection consists of documents, photos, books and objects. A collection of memoirs from the 19th-20th century, a plentiful collection of family photos and materials of various Jewish organisations in the interwar period are to be noted separately.

title: Webdriver Torso

text:
Webdriver Torso is a YouTube automated performance testing account that became famous in 2014 for speculations about its (then unexplained) nature and jokes featured in some of its videos.

Created by Google on March 7, 2013, the channel began uploading videos on September 23 of the same year, consisting of simple slides accompanied by beeps. It was brought to public attention in 2014 when it became a source of speculation for viewers who discovered it and noted three atypical videos featuring jokes. It remained a popular mystery until YouTube humorously acknowledged that the channel exists as an internal testing utility. The channel stopped posting videos at its same rate after 624,774 videos as of May 4, 2017. The channel posted a few more videos in May, August, and October 2018, followed by subsequent uploads in July and October 2019. The channel once again posted a video on November 22, 2021. Another post was made on May 3, 2022, and four more have been made in 2023.

Videos

From September 30, 2016, to October 31, 2019, the channel uploaded a total of 624,774 videos. The interval between one upload and another was usually between 1 and 15 minutes, but sometimes up to one hour. With the exception of three, all videos follow the set of standards described below. The channel stopped uploading on May 4, 2017, but resumed uploading on May 18, 2018, until another halt four days later. A video uploaded on November 16, 2020, was then quickly deleted. As of now, the latest video uploaded by Webdriver Torso was on August 3, 2023.

Most of the videos are 11 seconds long, although some are also around 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 25 minutes long. They are slideshows showing slides about 1 second long each. Each slide consists of a solid white background overlapped by two solid color opaque rectangles, one red and the other blue. Both rectangles have a random size, shape, and position on the slide. When the two overlap, the red rectangle always appears over the blue one, and on rare occasions, the red rectangle completely covers up the blue one. Each slide has a random computer-generated wave tone. In the corner of each video, it says "aqua.flv - slide (slide number with four digits)". Early videos were called "aqua", which was then changed to "tmp", an abbreviation for the word "template" or "temporary", followed by random characters. Although some videos break this titling pattern, such as some titles having spaces and a 25 minute video titled "the" but still have the same overlapping blue and red triangles.

Unusual uploads

The channel has three videos which do not follow the channel's standards, featuring instead internal references or jokes. One of them, titled "tmpRkRL85" (presumably standing for "Temporary Rick Roll 1985" or "Template Rickroll 1985"), plays normally until the red rectangle becomes a silhouette of Rick Astley dancing (referencing the Rickrolling phenomenon) in the second half of the video. The video "00014" is a piece of timelapse footage recorded in Paris that shows the Eiffel Tower being lit up at night. At the end of the video, the camera is put down, and the Webdriver Torso Facebook page is visible for a few frames. The last one, "0.455442373793", is only viewable in France, requires a payment of 1.99 euros to watch, and is only payable with a French credit card. It shows an episode of the American adult cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force dubbed in Spanish. While seemingly not an internal reference or joke, the May 3, 2022, upload, titled "generated 10min vid," has text in the bottom left corner that reads "kaustubhb.20220503-161459.640x360x10min.0600s - Slide (slide number with four digits)" as opposed to the usual "aqua.flv - slide (slide number with four digits)".

Speculation
Prior to YouTube's confirmation of the channel as a test channel, there was some speculation about the identity and content of the videos. Hypotheses about the channel's purposes included spy messages, contact by extraterrestrial life-forms, construction plans and a Cicada 3301 recruitment program.

Unexplained references
Despite Google having clarified the channel's purpose, this did not explain the seemingly humorous references contained in some of the videos. These include the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode, the Rick Astley silhouette, and the Eiffel Tower footage. Additionally, Webdriver Torso at one time commented "Matei is highly intelligent". The "Matei" in question is unknown, but Basarab Matei, Matei Mancas, Matei Gruber, Matei Ciocarlie, and former Cinemassacre producer Mike Matei have all been suspected. The  "Matei" comment was apparently removed at some later time.

Soggetto Ventuno's investigation
An Italian blogger named Soggetto Ventuno found out that Webdriver Torso belongs to a network of accounts called "ytuploadtestpartner_torso". Ventuno then discovered some other accounts with similar videos, many of which were pulled or made private after Ventuno's investigations were published. The network linked to a Facebook page and a Twitter page, which have now both been taken down. The Facebook page had mentioned Johannes Leitner, a Google Zürich employee. Leitner was friends with another employee, Matei Gruber. A "Matei" is mentioned on 00014 (see above). Ventuno then compared scenes from pulled videos with Google Zürich photos, and noticed matching things, indicating that the pulled videos were recorded at Google Zürich, and that the channel and all similar channels were run from Google Zürich.

Purpose of videos
The videos are made to test YouTube video quality. After creation, the videos are uploaded to YouTube. The uploaded videos are then compared to the videos before they were uploaded, to see how much quality was lost.

YouTube's reply
When YouTube was asked about Webdriver Torso, they replied:

"We're never gonna give you uploading that's slow or loses video quality, and we're never gonna let you down by playing YouTube in poor video quality. That's why we're always running tests like Webdriver Torso."  This is a reference to Rick Astley's song "Never Gonna Give You Up".

Easter eggs

 When "Webdriver Torso" is searched into Google, the Google logo will look like a Webdriver Torso video. However, if a Google Doodle is running, it will sometimes not appear.
 In the Android L developer builds, the Android Version Easter Egg is a reference to Webdriver Torso videos.

title: The Boat Race 1846

text:
The 8th Boat Race between crews from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge took place on the River Thames on 3 April 1846.  Umpired by Charles Jasper Selwyn, Cambridge won in a time of 21 minutes 5 seconds, with a winning margin of three lengths.  The race was held on the ebb tide, starting in Mortlake and ending in Putney.  For the first time, outriggers were used by both crews.

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.

Following their ten-length defeat in the previous year's race, Oxford sent their challenge to Cambridge in February 1846, proposing that the race should take place at Easter.  The umpire for the race was Charles Jasper Selwyn.  Cambridge went into the race leading the contest overall, with five wins to Oxford's two since the inaugural race in 1829. On one of only a handful of occasions, the race was rowed on the ebb tide, from Mortlake to Putney.

For the first time in the history of the race, both boats used outriggers.  Both crews had professional coaches: Oxford used John Noulton while Cambridge were trained by Robert Coombes, a champion sculler.  It marked the start of the debate over the use of professional coaches which was not resolved until the 1852 race.

Crews
The Cambridge crew weighed an average of 11 st 8.375 lb (73.5 kg),  more per rower than their opponents.  Oxford saw three Blues return from the 1845 race in Royds, Stapylton and Milman;  Harkness and Hill returned for Cambridge.

Race

Conditions for the race were described by MacMichael as "very fine, and the little wind there was with the tide."  The race commenced shortly after 11.10 a.m., started by Edward Searle. Oxford won the toss and elected to start from the Surrey station, handing Cambridge the Middlesex side of the river.  Despite taking an early lead, Oxford were soon caught and Cambridge drew away, holding a third-of-a-length lead by Chiswick.  As the long bend began to favour Oxford, Cambridge slowed in shallow water allowing the Dark Blues to close some of the discrepancy, but by Hammersmith Bridge, Cambridge were back to a half-length lead.  A final surge from Oxford once again closed the gap, but Cambridge pulled away to take the victory in a record time of 21 minutes 5 seconds and by a margin of three lengths.

title: Mahinder Watsa

text:
Mahinder Watsa (11 February 1924 – 28 December 2020) was an Indian sexologist known for his sex columns in newspapers and magazines. His contributions to promote sex education in India earned him the 2014 Dr. Ved Vyas Puri Award.

Life and work
Mahinder Watsa's father was a military physician. Watsa was Punjabi. When he was around 7 years old, his family spent some time in Rangoon.

During his time at a medical college in Mumbai, Watsa stayed with friends of his family. Through them, he met his future wife, Promila. Despite coming from different backgrounds and castes (he was Punjabi, she was originally from Sindh), and going against a tradition of arranged marriages, the two wed after being friends for a number of years. The couple had a son and lived for a while in the 1950s in the United Kingdom, during which time Watsa worked as a hospital houseman and registrar. The family returned to India after his father fell ill and Watsa found work in Glaxo as a medical officer, while simultaneously running a private practice as a gynecologist and obstetrician.

Watsa began a career as a columnist in the 1960s when, in his late 30s, he was asked to start writing a medical advice column for a women's magazine. He continued authoring health columns for several women's magazines, such as Femina, Flair, and Trend, into the 1970s until he encountered resistance from an editor who insisted upon censoring queries about sexual health. Watsa however maintained his writing through numerous alternative outlets including men's magazines (such as 'Fantasy') and, later, websites.

One of the readers of the Femina column had filed an obscenity lawsuit claiming that the publishers were fabricating the letters to increase readership. The editor, Sathya Saran, managed to convince the judge to drop the case by delivering a sack of unopened letters to him.

Through his work as a columnist he became aware of the lack of sex education in India. In 1974, while working as a consultant for the Family Planning Association of India (FPAI), Watsa proposed that a sexual counselling and education program should be introduced. Despite oppositions, FPAI accepted his advice and started India's first sex education, counselling and therapy centre. In 1976, he organised India's first workshop on human sexuality and family life. The workshop was also addressed by Ashok Row Kavi, a notable LGBT rights activist in India. In the early 1980s, Watsa left his practice to work full-time in counselling and education.

Ask the Sexpert column
In 2005, aged 80, Watsa began writing a column called Ask the Sexpert for the newspaper Mumbai Mirror, which is noted for its witty replies to queries. The newspaper has subsequently been threatened with lawsuits and accusations of obscenity. Suchitra Dalvie, a gynaecologist, conducted a study by analysing more than 500 letters sent to the column. According to her, the study revealed a lack of sex education even among urban and relatively well-educated Indians. In August 2014, his editor estimated that he had received more than 40,000 queries for the column.

Death
Watsa died in Mumbai on 28 December 2020, aged 96.

Awards
 2014 Dr. Ved Vyas Puri Award: On 17 June 2014, he was given this award by the Family Planning Association of India (FPAI) for his contributions to sex education in India.

title: Xiaomi Mi 4

text:
The Xiaomi Mi 4 () is a smartphone developed by the Chinese electronics manufacturer Xiaomi for its high-end smartphone line, and was released in August 2014. Xiaomi held an event to formally introduce the high-end phone, and its complementary smart-accessory, the Xiaomi MiBand, during the Xiaomi New Product Launch Event 2014 on 22 July 2014.

Similar to the principle of the Xiaomi Mi2, the Mi 4 is a highly revamped version of its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi3. The phone is of a different design to its predecessor. It was also released slightly before the new MIUI 6, which was introduced in August 2014.

Reception towards the device was generally positive, though there were still a high amount of negative feedback from users of Apple's iPhone due to its similar design and quality. Some media companies hailed it to be one of the best smartphones available in the market due to its high-end hardware which is sold for a comparably at a lower price compared to competitor smartphones. However, others criticized it for being too similar to Apple's iPhone 5S.

History
Before its official unveiling, media speculation primarily focused on leaks; including photos of the early prototypes of the device and screenshots of MIUI 6, these leaks were later proven to be fake.

Xiaomi announced the Mi 4 and MiBand during a media event at the CNCC on 22 July 2014. While the device was announced in July 2014, it didn't become available until August 2014, shortly before unveiling MIUI 6.

In August 2014, the Mi 4 was released in China and then to other countries. Xiaomi operated in a limited, however expanding, list of countries and consumers outside of the countries it operates in have to buy it online.

Features

Operating system and software

The Xiaomi Mi 4 ships with MIUI V5 (upgradable to MIUI V10), Xiaomi's variant of the Android operating system. The user interface of MIUI is based on the concept of direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures. Interface control elements consist of sliders, switches, and buttons. Interaction with the OS includes gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch and reverse pinch, all of which have specific definitions within the context of the Android operating system and its multi-touch interface. Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to the movement of the device such as rotating it vertically (one common result is switching from portrait to landscape mode). The device includes an updater application that allows it to update its OS to the latest version of MIUI available to it.

Windows 10 ROM Port
In March 2015, it was announced that selected registered users of Mi 4 devices in China would receive a ROM port of the Windows 10 Mobile operating system as a trial partnership between Xiaomi and Microsoft. The ROM flash download was released for these users in June 2015, who could then test the software on their devices and provide feedback to both Microsoft and Xiaomi.

Design
The device has a 5-inch (12.7 cm) Sharp/JDI OGS fully laminated touchscreen, with a screen resolution of 1080x1920 at a pixel density of 441 ppi. Its home button is similar to its predecessor and is mainly touch-based with adjustable haptic feedback. The phone itself weighs 149 grams (5.26 oz) and uses a stainless steel frame. The device is currently available in three color finishes, black, white and rose gold.

Hardware
The Xiaomi Mi 4 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974-AC) chipset, which, at one point made it the fastest Android smartphone to date according to the AnTuTu benchmark application. Its processor is a quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400 and its graphics card is an Adreno 330. The phone includes a 3080 mAh battery, which provides 280 hours of standby time. It comes with a 13 megapixel primary camera and an 8 megapixel secondary camera. Xiaomi also released another model of Mi 4 with 64 GB of internal memory.

Accessories

The Xiaomi Mi 4 was announced with a complementary US$12 smart accessory known as the Xiaomi Mi Band which is a waterproof sleep-cycle smart alarm, fitness monitor, sleep tracker and remote smartphone unlocker. It comes in various exchangeable bands and has a 30-day battery capacity.

Compatibility with CyanogenMod and dual-boot
The phone is compatible with CM13, CM14.1 and supports true dual-boot.

title: Xiaomi Mi Band

text:
The Xiaomi Mi Band is a wearable activity tracker produced by Xiaomi, unveiled during a Xiaomi launch event on 22 July 2014. This article is mainly about the original Mi Band; later versions have separate articles.

Design

The Mi Band resembles a bracelet in its design, and can be worn on either hand. The band's location can be set using the official Mi Band app called Mi Fit, later replaced by Mi Health and subsequently renamed to Zepp Life.

The band contains the core tracker which is around 9 mm thick, and 36 mm in length. It is inserted into a TPSiV wristband, which is hypoallergenic  and has anti-UV and anti-microbal properties. The tracker is inserted into the charger module, which can be connected to a 5.0 V external power source. It is also called "Xiaomi Fit".

Specifications

 Fitness monitor and sleep tracker
 Sleep-cycle smart alarm
 Unlock your Android without a password
 14-day standby power
 Water resistant (IP67)
 Vibrate alert (call and notification)

Software compatibility

At the time of launch, the only official way to use Mi Band was to use the Xiaomi's Mi Fit app although third-party software such as gadgetbridge do exist.

Later models
Xiaomi announced the Mi Band 1S, or the Mi Band Pulse, the successor to the Mi Band, on 7 of November 2015. It is almost identical to its predecessor, with the addition of a heart rate sensor on the bottom of the band, making it slightly bulkier at 37 x 13.6 x 9.9mm. The addition of the heart rate sensor seemed to have decreased battery endurance, which claimed to be 30 days of use from one charge.
In reality, the battery generally dies by 15 days.
Heart rate on the 1S is measured on demand, it does not offer continuous monitoring.

Other models followed, with the Mi Band 2 in 2016, the Mi Band 3, the Mi Band 4, Mi Band 5, Mi Band 6, Mi Band 7 and Xiaomi Smart Band 8. An app named "Zepp Life", by the manufacturer of the Xiaomi fitness tracking wrist band, is available on the Google Play Store. A later application called Mi Health was made available for Xiaomi phones running the MIUI user interface.

Privacy issues
Researchers from the University of Toronto found in 2016 that most fitness trackers, including the Xiaomi Mi Band and its app (version 1.6.122), were transmitting a range of personal data, including the email address of the user's contacts, geolocation, the phone's serial number, and information entered by the wearer regarding food intake, menstruation, pregnancy, etc. Xiaomi did not indicate how long the company retained user data on its servers after the termination of an account.

title: Rationing in the United States

text:
Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources, goods, or services, or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration, which is one person's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time.

Rationing in the United States was introduced in stages during World War II.

World War I

Although the United States did not have food rationing in World War I, it relied heavily on propaganda campaigns to persuade people to curb their food consumption.

World War II

In the summer of 1941, rationing in the United Kingdom increased because of military needs, and German attacks on shipping in the Battle of the Atlantic. The British government appealed to Americans to conserve food to help the UK. The Office of Price Administration (OPA) warned Americans of potential gasoline, steel, aluminum, and electricity shortages. It believed that with factories converting to military production and consuming many critical supplies, rationing would become necessary if the country entered the war. The OPA established a rationing system after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December.

Ration books, stamps, and tokens

The work of issuing ration books and exchanging used stamps for certificates was handled by some 5,500 local ration boards of mostly volunteer workers selected by local officials. Many levels of rationing went into effect. Some items, such as sugar, were distributed evenly based on the number of people in a household. Other items, like gasoline or fuel oil, were rationed only to those who could justify a need. Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability, but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps, ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products.

Each ration stamp had a generic drawing of an airplane, gun, tank, aircraft carrier, ear of wheat, fruit, etc. and a serial number. Some stamps also had alphabetic lettering. The kind and amount of rationed commodities were not specified on most of the stamps and were not defined until later when local newspapers published, for example, that beginning on a specified date, one airplane stamp was required (in addition to cash) to buy one pair of shoes and one stamp number 30 from ration book four was required to buy five pounds of sugar. The commodity amounts changed from time to time depending on availability. Red stamps were used to ration meat and butter, and blue stamps were used to ration processed foods.

To enable making change for ration stamps, the government issued "red point" tokens to be given in change for red stamps, and "blue point" tokens in change for blue stamps. The red and blue tokens were about the size of dimes () and were made of thin compressed wood fiber material, because metals were in short supply.

There was a black market in stamps. To prevent this, the OPA ordered vendors not to accept stamps that they themselves did not tear out of books. Buyers, however, circumvented this by saying (sometimes accurately, as the books were not well-made) that the stamps had "fallen out". In actuality, they may have acquired stamps from other family members or friends, or the black market.

Most rationing restrictions ended in August 1945 except for sugar rationing, which lasted until 1947 in some parts of the country.

Tires, gasoline, and automobiles
Tires were the first item to be rationed by the OPA, which ordered the temporary end of sales on 11 December 1941 while it created 7,500 unpaid, volunteer three-person tire ration boards around the country. By 5 January 1942 the boards were ready. Each received a monthly allotment of tires based on the number of local vehicle registrations, and allocated them to applicants based on OPA rules. There was a shortage of natural rubber for tires since the Japanese quickly conquered the rubber-producing regions of Southeast Asia. Although synthetic rubber had been invented before the war, it had been unable to compete with natural rubber commercially, so the US did not have enough manufacturing capacity at the start of the war to make synthetic rubber. Throughout the war, rationing of gasoline was motivated by a desire to conserve rubber as much as by a desire to conserve gasoline.

The War Production Board (WPB) ordered the temporary end of all civilian automobile sales on 1 January 1942, leaving dealers with one half million unsold cars. Ration boards grew in size as they began evaluating automobile sales in February (only certain professions, such as doctors and clergymen, qualified to purchase the remaining inventory of new automobiles), typewriters in March, and bicycles in May. Automobile factories stopped manufacturing civilian models by early February 1942 and converted to producing tanks, aircraft, weapons, and other military products, with the United States government as the only customer.

A national speed limit of  was imposed to save fuel and rubber for tires. Later that month volunteers again helped distribute gasoline cards in 17 Atlantic and Pacific Northwest states.

To get a classification and rationing stamps, one had to appear before a local War Price and Rationing Board which reported to the OPA. Each person in a household received a ration book, including babies and small children who qualified for canned milk not available to others. To receive a gasoline ration card, a person had to certify a need for gasoline and ownership of no more than five tires. All tires in excess of five per driver were confiscated by the government, because of rubber shortages.

An "A" sticker on a car was the lowest priority of gasoline rationing and entitled the car owner to  of gasoline per week. "B" stickers were issued to workers in the military industry, entitling their holder to up to  of gasoline per week. "C" stickers were granted to persons deemed very essential to the war effort, such as doctors. Motorcycles had D papers and motorcycle users who were essential to the war got "M" papers. "E" and "R" stickers applied to small and heavy highway machinery, respectively. "T" stickers were made available for truckers. Lastly, "X" stickers on cars entitled the holder to unlimited supplies and were the highest priority in the system. Clergy, police, firemen, and civil defense workers were in this category. A scandal erupted when 200 Congressmen received these X stickers. Referring to the lowest tier of this system, American motorists jokingly said that OPA stood for "Only a Puny A-Card."

As a result of the gasoline rationing, all forms of automobile racing, including the Indianapolis 500, were banned. Sightseeing driving was also banned. In some regions breaking the gas rationing was so prevalent that night courts were set up to supplement the number of violators caught; the first gasoline-ration night court was created at Pittsburgh's Fulton Building on May 26, 1943.

With the pending capitulation of Japan, the printing of ration books for 1946 was halted by the OPA on August 13, 1945. It was thought that "even if Japan does not fold now, the war will certainly be over before the books can be used".

On August 15, 1945, World War II gas rationing was ended on the West Coast of the United States.

From the time that the United States entered the war to the August 1945 Japanese surrender, there was a dramatic shift in behavior: Americans drove cars less, carpooled when they did drive, walked and used their bicycles more, and increased the use of public transportation. Between 1941 and 1944 the total amount of gas consumed from highway use in the United States dropped to 32 percent. The federal agency named the Office of Defense Transportation (ODT) was established during the war to focus on controlling domestic transportation and was responsible for collecting data, conducting research and analysis, setting goals for fuel consumption and helping determine rationing coupon values. ODT-imposed rationing of gasoline to civilians caused car owners to drive less, thus extending tire life and conserving fuel to maximize the oil and rubber available for military use.

In January 1942 there was a study published by the Public Roads Administration that discovered that driving 35 m.p.h helped tires last four times as long than if the speed was 65 m.p.h. In order to extend the lifespan of tires and reduce the use, the ODT contacted the governors of all the states to establish lower speed limits. In March of the same year to decrease the large amount of single occupied drivers, car sharing programs were encouraged for workplaces that had more than 100 employees from the ODT and the Highway Traffic Advisory Committee.

Food and consumer goods
Civilians first received ration books—War Ration Book Number One, or the "Sugar Book"—on 4 May 1942, through more than 100,000 schoolteachers, PTA groups, and other volunteers.

Sugar was the first consumer commodity rationed, with all sales ended on 27 April 1942 and resumed on 5 May with a ration of  per person per week, half of normal consumption. Bakeries, ice cream makers, and other commercial users received rations of about 70% of normal usage. Coffee was rationed nationally on 29 November 1942 to  every five weeks, about half of normal consumption, in part because of German attacks on shipping from Brazil.

As of 1 March 1942, dog food could no longer be sold in tin cans, and manufacturers switched to dehydrated versions. As of 1 April 1942, anyone wishing to purchase a new toothpaste tube, then made from metal, had to turn in an empty one. By June 1942 companies also stopped manufacturing metal office furniture, radios,  television sets, phonographs, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, and sewing machines for civilians.

By the end of 1942, ration coupons were used for nine other items: typewriters, gasoline, bicycles, shoes, rubber footwear, silk, nylon, fuel oil, and stoves. Meat, lard, shortening and food oils, cheese, butter, margarine, processed foods (canned, bottled, and frozen), dried fruits, canned milk, firewood and coal, jams, jellies, and fruit butter were rationed by November 1943. Many retailers welcomed rationing because they were already experiencing shortages of many items due to rumors and panics, such as flashlights and batteries after Pearl Harbor. Ration Book Number Five is a very rare ration book, only issued to very few people.

Medicines
Scarce medicines such as penicillin were rationed by triage officers in the US military during World War II. Civilian hospitals received only small amounts of penicillin during the war, because it was not mass-produced for civilian use until after the war. A triage panel at each hospital decided which patients would receive the penicillin.

title: Fifth Street Asset Management

text:
Fifth Street Asset Management Inc. was an SEC-registered American credit-focused asset manager.  The firm lent to small and medium-sized businesses.  Revenues of these businesses is generally between $25 million and $500 million.

In October 2017, Oaktree Capital Management assumed management of Fifth Street's two publicly traded business development companies.

Fifth Street had principal offices in Greenwich, Silicon Valley, Dallas, and Chicago.

The firm had over $6 billion of assets under management across two public Business Development Companies (BDCs), Fifth Street Finance Corp., Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. as well as multiple private investment vehicles.
The stock of Fifth Street Finance Corp. is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker FSC. Fifth Street has over 100 professionals on their team. Senior management and board members own ~1.5% of Fifth Street Finance Corp.’s stock and ~6.0% of Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp.’s stock.

History
The Fifth Street entities were founded by Leonard M. Tannenbaum in 1998.

Fifth Street Asset Management owned two publicly traded business development companies, Fifth Street Finance Corporation and Fifth Street Floating Rate Corporation.  Fifth Street Finance Corporation was founded in 1998 and launched its IPO in 2008 and Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corporation was established in 2013.

In 2014, Fifth Street Finance partnered with the Kemper Corporation on two joint ventures, which allow lenders to take on and re-distribute more debt, for $200 million in equity commitments and $400 million in leverage.  Other firms that have entered into these agreements include Solar Capital and THL Credit.  Fifth Street Asset Management also has two senior loan funds on its books.

In the summer of 2014 they made decisions that caused their investors to lose their investment value. In July 2014 they issued new shares to grow their balance sheet, but set these shares at a new price and that, after fees, diluted the wealth of existing shareholders. In August 2014 Fifth Street Floating Rate Corp a business development company, managed by the same manager as Fifth Street Finance Corp. issued millions of new shares at a price of $12.14, a 20% discount to the previously reported net asset value per share of $15.13. This led to shareholders losing millions of dollars.

In October 2014, Fifth Street Asset Management completed its initial public offering and is currently listed on the NASDAQ(NASDAQ: FSAM).  The company had initially withdrawn its initial public offering, only to then amend it on October 28 and reduce the initial offering by 50 percent. Originally, the company planned to issue 8 million shares at between $24 to $26 per share. Company shares declined 21 percent to $13.37 on its first day of trading after opening at $17 per share.

Total revenues increased by 4.6%, or $1.1 million, to $24.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $23.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The growth in total revenues was driven by a 22.4% increase in year-over-year fee-earning AUM. Management fees (which include base management fees and Part I fees) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were $23.6 million, or 94.8% of total revenues.

On July 14, 2017, Oaktree Capital Management announced it would assume management of Fifth Street's two business development companies, Fifth Street Finance Corp and Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. Oaktree renamed the two funds Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp and Oaktree Strategic Income Corp, respectively. The transaction closed on October 17, 2017.

Recognitions
Fifth Street Finance Corp. has received an investment grade rating from Standard & Poor's and ranks among the top Business Development Companies based on its market capitalization.
Fifth Street  received the 2014 ACG New York Champion's Award for "Senior Lender Firm of the Year" and was named in 2013 the Mergers & Acquisitions M&A Mid-Market Lender of the Year.

Local involvement

title: The Young Elites

text:
The Young Elites is a fantasy novel by novelist Marie Lu released on October 7, 2014. It is the first novel in the trilogy. The second book is called The Rose Society and was released on October 13, 2015. The third book, The Midnight Star, was released October 11, 2016.

Plot
A decade after the blood fever swept through the nation, most survivors—all of whom were children—gained strange markings during their time of illness. Those with visible markings became known as malfettos. When people close to malfettos, such as family members, began having strange accidents or deaths, people began to believe that these malfettos were bad luck and began treating them as second-class citizens. It is not widely known that the blood fever gifted some of these malfetto children with strange abilities—the children with these powers became known as The Young Elites. The Inquisition Axis believes that Young Elites are dangerous and vengeful and will destroy the nation, and thus seek to destroy them before they can do so.

Adelina Amouteru was a survivor of the blood fever and, as a result, her black hair turned silver and she lost her left eye. She grew up with an abusive father who wished to exploit any possible abilities that she may have developed. One night, in an attempt to escape from her father, she accidentally murders him when her powers manifest: she is a Young Elite who can weave illusions that can trick the sense of sight, touch, smell, and sound. She is then caught by The Inquisition Axis, led by a secret malfetto named Teren Santoro, and imprisoned. Later, in the middle of her execution, she is rescued by The Dagger Society, a group of Young Elites that seek others like themselves and teach them how to control and use their gifts.

Though it seemed that the Dagger Society have saved her out of kindness at first, the motives of Enzo, the leader of the society, are revealed. Enzo is the former heir of the throne. After his parents’ deaths, his sister removed his title and banished him from the palace for being a malfetto. She then married a duke, who became king, and started denouncing malfettos so Enzo could not regain the throne. Enzo seeks to overthrow the current king and gain control of the kingdom with the help of the Dagger Society. As the story continues, Enzo and Adelina start to develop feelings towards each other.

In the climax, Enzo battles Teren and Adelina attempts to use her power to cause Teren severe pain. She mistakenly attacks Enzo though, and with the distraction, Teren kills him. The Dagger Society expels her and she flees the country on a ship, vowing to create her own army and return.

Characters
 Adelina Amouteru Adelina, also known as the White Wolf, is the 16 year old main character of the story. A malfetto herself, her once brown hair has turned silver, and she's missing her left eye. After the death of her mother during the blood fever, she grows up with her cruel and abusive father, leaving a vengeful darkness in her heart. After silently witnessing how he sells her to a merchant as a paramour (not even wife), she flees her home in the middle of the night. Her father notices, follows her and intends to forcefully bring her back. Adelina, in a sudden and heavy outburst of her illusionist powers, accidentally kills him. She is subsequently captured by the Inquisition and sentenced to the stake. Shortly before being burned alive, she is saved by members of The Dagger Society and ultimately joins their ranks. She there finds out her powers are strongly linked to fear and anger, mirroring her horrifying childhood. During the training with the leader of the group, Enzo Valenciano, her powers of illusion quickly grow. She is very protective of her little sister Violetta and finds herself torn apart between fear and a bad conscience when Violetta's life is threatened by Teren Santoro.
 Enzo Valenciano Enzo is the founder of The Dagger Society. Publicly only known as The Reaper, Enzo is the son of the late king, crown prince to Kenettra and the rightful heir to the throne. Enzo was deposed by his elder sister Giulietta who gained the throne along with her husband, a powerful duke. After she became queen, Giulietta banished Enzo from the palace. The monarchs encourage the hunt of malfettos and portray them as demons and bringers of ill fortune in order to keep Enzo unfit for the throne. Seeking vengeance, Enzo forms the Dagger Society, planning to assassinate the king and queen and rightfully take the throne. The blood fever turned his hair and eyes dark red. He has the power to create and manipulate fire in all sorts of ways.
 Maeve Corrigan Maeve is the queen of the kingdom of Beldain, where malfettos are celebrated as children of the gods. Maeve is the youngest of her siblings, all seven of which are her brothers. The young queen is an Elite, she has the power to resurrect the dead, with the side effect of the resurrected slowly loosing themselves to the Underworld, and Maeve losing some of her life energy. She has kept it a secret from everyone, even Lucent, who shares a mutual love with her. Maeve's marking is clearly shown, as her hair is split into brilliant gold and midnight black.
 Teren Santoro Teren Santoro works for the queen, whom he has a secret love affair with. As leader of the Inquisition, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the elites to be unworthy scum, but still dangerous. Yet, unbeknownst to most people, Teren himself is also an elite and has the ability to instantly heal all kinds of wounds on himself as well as superhuman strength. The blood fever marked him with light blonde hair and formerly blue, now almost colourless eyes. He was once a childhood friend of Enzo's, having grown up in the palace as son of the First Inquisitor, but since Enzo became a malfetto and got dispelled from the court, the friendship quickly vanished. Teren does not know Enzo is The Reaper and is very surprised and upset to discover his former friend under the mask of his now greatest enemy when they duel at the end of the novel.
 Violetta Amouteru She is two years younger than her sister Adelina. Until the very end of the volume, she is believed to have no powers and to be "pure " and no malfetto, thus being her and Adelina's father's favourite, spoiled and seemingly happy and carefree child. She has a friendly, compassionate soul and frequently tried to persuade their father to let go of Adelina when he was tormenting her. She also tried to save Adelina from the Inquisition after she got captured, risking her own life and getting taken prisoner by Teren Santoro. Yet she turns out to be an elite, having the ability to take other elites' powers temporarily and to sense them. Due to her kind of power, she has no marks and doesn't get recognized as a malfetto.
 Raffaele Laurent Bessette Second in command and second founding member of the Dagger Society, Raffaele has the ability to manipulate other people's emotions - which he mostly uses for calm and comfort - and to sense the powers of Young Elites. He is very calm and thoughtful, a foresightful tactician and a scholar in some way. Also known as The Messenger, he collects information about the elites and their abilities, wishing to preserve them for future generations. He has two markings, one being the blue streaks in his black hair, and the other being his eyes, one of which has an emerald colour, the other one bright amber. Knowing of Adelina's inclination to fear and anger, he is worried about what she might become and counsels Enzo to kill her before she can betray or murder them.
Lucent Also known as Windwalker, Lucent has the ability to manipulate air and wind, and do whatever those can do (scream, howl, fly, whistle etc.). She is an outcast of her homeland of Beldain and became a member of The Dagger Society a couple of years earlier. She has red-blonde, curly hair. Her marks are grey spirals going up her arms.
Michel He has the ability to "unravel" non-living objects and make them appear in another place, similar to teleportation. Michel is a skilled artist, and taught Adelina to create more realistic illusions while she was in The Dagger Society. His nickname is The Architect.
Gemma Salvatore Gemma is known as the Star Thief and can command and control animals with her powers. She is a member of The Dagger Society as well as of the gentry class of Kenettra. Her father being a powerful and influential man among nobility, this is the only reason she's still allowed to walk around publicly and to participate in public events despite being a malfetto. Adelina is secretly envious of this loving and supportive father-daughter-relationship. Gemma's powers are linked to kindness, and she finds herself more often than not followed randomly by stray animals. She has a purple marking that covers half her face.
Dante Dante is another recruit of The Dagger Society and was once a blacksmith apprentice. His mark from the blood fever is dark, irregular markings that stretch from across his neck to part of his chest. He's known as the Spider for his strength and quickness and his ability to see in darkness. From the very beginning he was wary of Adelina's presence on the team and her powers and shows open distrust and aggression towards her. He frequently mocks and threatens Adelina and tries to persuade the others to get rid of her. His main argument in trying to convince Enzo is the developing mutual infatuation between Enzo and Adelina. Dante believes Enzo's feelings blind him on the one hand and are actually directed towards Enzo's former (and deceased) girlfriend Daphne on the other hand, who looked very similar to Adelina. Dante is also the only one who early on realises that Adelina is giving information about the Daggers to Teren Santoro, but, not knowing she does so in order to save her sister, suspects her of treason. Blinded by his assumptions and rage, he attacks Adelina and tries to kill her, only to be killed by her when she loses control of her powers.

title: Isentropic analysis

text:
Isentropic analysis in meteorology is a technique to find the vertical and horizontal motion of airmasses during an adiabatic process above the planetary boundary layer. The change of state of air parcels following isentropic surfaces does not involve exchange of heat with the environment. Such an analysis can also evaluate the airmass stability in the vertical dimension and whether an air parcel crossing such a surface will result in convective or stratiform clouds. It is based on the study of weather maps or vertical cross-sections of the potential temperature values in the troposphere.

On a synoptic scale, isentropic analysis is associated with weather fronts: warm fronts are found where the wind crosses lines of a chosen potential temperature from lower heights to higher ones, while cold fronts are where the wind crosses descending heights. Synoptic clouds and precipitations can thus be better found with these areas of advection than with conventional isobaric maps. From a mesoscale point of view, an air parcel moving vertically will cross isolines of potential temperature and it will be unstable if the value of those lines decrease with altitude, or stable if they increase.

title: Tuvixeddu necropolis

text:
The necropolis of Tuvixeddu () is a Punic necropolis, the largest in the Mediterranean. It is located in a hill inside the city of Cagliari, Sardinia called Tuvixeddu (meaning "little cavity" in Sardinian).

History
Between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC the Carthaginians chose this hill to bury their dead: these burials were reached through a well dug into the limestone rock (from two to eleven meters deep), a small opening introduced to the burial chamber. The burial chambers were beautifully decorated; there were found amphorae and ampoules for the essences. Of particular interest among the Punic tombs, the "Uraeus Tomb" and the "Fighter Tomb", decorated with paintings of palm trees and masks, still well preserved. Another famous tomb is that "of the Wheel".

On the slopes of the Tuvixeddu hill there is a Roman necropolis, which overlooked the road at the exit of the city. The Roman necropolis consists mainly of arcosolium tombs and columbaria.

The necropolis opened to the public in May 2014, during the XVIII edition of Monumenti Aperti. The archaeological area is large, it originally consisted of an area of about .

Paleogenetics
A 2017 Ancient DNA study by Claudia Viganó et al. found that a man buried ~2000 years ago in the necropolis of Tuvixeddu carried the cod39 mutation that cause Beta thalassemia. The paternal and maternal haplogroups of this individual, suggests that he was likely autochthonous of Sardinia.

title: Xanthophryne tigerina

text:
Xanthophryne tigerina, sometimes known as the Amboli toad, is a species of toads. It is endemic to the Western Ghats of India and known only from the vicinity of Amboli in Maharashtra. It was described as a new species in 2009 and placed in a new genus along with its sister species Xanthophryne koynayensis.

Description
This species is medium-sized for a toad, males are smaller (male snout–vent length , female ), somewhat elongated with a broken canthal ridge. They are yellowish with dark stripes on top and sides of the body and lack webbing between the toes and fingers.

Reproduction
Breeding takes place in temporary ponds in cavities within lateritic rock. About 30–35  eggs are laid in a clutch.

Habitat and conservation
This species occurs on the ground in patchy evergreen forest and plantations. It is considered "Critically Endangered" because it is known from a single location only, its habitat is declining in the extent and quality (loss of forest cover), and its abundance is declining.
