title: Bullet Group

text:
The Bullet Group (SL2S J08544-0121) is a newly merging group of galaxies, a merger between two galaxy groups to form a new larger one, that recently had a high speed collision between the two component groups. The group exhibits separation between its dark matter and baryonic matter components. The galaxies occur in two clumps, while the gas has expanded into a billowing cloud encompassing all three clumps. As of 2014, it is one of the few galaxy clusters known to show separation between the dark matter and baryonic matter components. The group is named after the Bullet Cluster, a similar merging galaxy cluster, except on a smaller scale, being of groups instead of clusters. The bimodal distribution of galaxies was found at discovery in 2008. The galaxy group is a gravitational lens and strongly lenses a more distant galaxy behind it, at z=~1.2

Characteristics
As of 2014, the group is the smallest mass object to exhibit separation between its dark matter and baryonic matter components.

The galaxy group is dominated by one elliptical galaxy, situated in one of the two concentrations, while the other node has two large bright galaxies, which do not dominate the group. The group has an apparent radius of 200 arcseconds, and a virial radius of 1 megaparsec.

title: Paul Mistral Park

text:
Paul Mistral Park (Parc Paul Mistral in French) is an urban park located in Grenoble. It is 67 acres (27 ha) and it holds important sporting facilities and the city hall. Placed inside an old military engineering ground, it was created thanks to the International Exhibition of Hydropower and Tourism which took place in 1925.

History
In 1836, after the general Haxo achieved to build the city's ramparts, the current area of the park is used as a military engineering place outside the town for shooting training. So, this area is reserved for the military needs only and none building is allowed. At this location was also the door, one of the five city's gates, the door of the Alpes ("Porte des Alpes" in French) which allowed people to go to Eybens or Vizille.

The 1925 exhibition

In 1919, an ambitious mayor, Paul Mistral wished to open the city by destroying the Haxo ramparts. From 1921, thanks to the economic rising due to the use of hydropower, he planned to organize in Grenoble an international exhibition about hydropower and tourism. However, a such exhibition needed a vast ground near the city center and implied to destroy the southern ramparts.

Once the ramparts destroyed, the military engineering ground could be used and the new Alpes boulevard (became Jean Pain boulevard since 1944) is created at the North. The Eybens avenue is straighten up to go along the West side of the exhibition site.

At the southern side, the rampart walk became the Clemenceau boulevard, and at the East the Malakoff street is extended. Then, a new urban map is proposed by the parisian architect Léon Jaussely, to restructure the town. The International Exhibition of Hydropower and Tourism which takes place from 21 May to 25 October 1925 is visited by  people and includes various palaces and attractions. So, it was a great political and economic success for the mayor.

After the exhibition, the park still fenced in is opened to the public who is allowed only in the walks but the rate of frequentation is strictly regulated. In 1928, the installation of a carousel is refused by the town council. It's only from 1952 that children's attractions are installed. In July 1926, the depot used by visitors to park their car is destroyed. Various pavillons are bought by the city to Mr. Mornand and the :fr:Touring club de France, 18 October 1926. Over years, these building are destroyed except the orientation tower named Perret tower from the name of its architect. The railway's palace and the hydropower's palace will serve both as exhibition's palaces until the mid-1960. In 1929, the city rent the modern house, an exhibition attraction to install the radio "Alpes-Grenoble". The Perret tower stays reachable with its two lifts and is the main attraction but another starts to compete with it: the zoological garden in which two famous bears lives with wolves, deers, roes, wild boars. These bears were offered to the city in 1925 by the Russian ambassador. The 8 February 1932, the Paul Mistral city council votes the building of the first sportive facility in the Park as requested by the cyclist societies. A "cyclist track" is built with rows of seats along the Clemenceau boulevard to avoid their members to go train on the esplanade of the door of France.

Due to the brutal death of the Paul Mistral, the city council session of 31 October 1932 directed by its first deputy, Adrien Ricard, decided to rename the exhibition park into Paul Mistral park.

title: Theresia Bastion

text:
Theresia Bastion (), named after the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa, is the largest preserved piece of defensive wall of the Austrian-Hungarian fortress of Timișoara. It covers about 1.7 hectares of the city center. It was built between 1732 and 1734. Today it is used as a passage, but it also houses commercial spaces, restaurants, bars, a nightclub, a library and two permanent exhibitions of the National Museum of Banat, as well as the Ethnography department of the Banat Village Museum. The bastion is included on the list of historical monuments in Timiș County with LMI code TM-II-m-A-06103.03.

History

After the conquest in October 1716 of the Timișoara Fortress by the Habsburg army under the command of Eugene of Savoy, it was found that the Turkish fortifications could not cope with the new fighting techniques. As a result, the decision was made to restore the entire fortress. The fortification was done in the Pagan system. The Pagan system inspired the first of the fortification systems envisaged by Vauban; the similarity between these systems spread the claim that Timișoara would have been fortified in the Vauban style.

The Timișoara Fortress (; ; ) consisted of nine bastions: Charles, Francis, Theresia, Joseph, Hamilton, Castle, Mercy, Eugene and Elisabeth. The Theresia Bastion was the first to be built. Construction began in 1732 immediately after the hydrotechnical works to regularize Bega were completed, works that took place between 1728 and 1732 and which were intended to ensure the necessary water in the moat of the fortress so that the ravelin/bastion could function properly. It appears for the first time on the plans of 1732–1733. It was originally designed as a ravelin, surrounded by water, located in front of the curtain wall that was to unite the future Francis and Joseph bastions and was called the Ravelin of the Food Warehouse. Its construction was completed in 1733–1734. It was later incorporated into the fortification wall, and in 1744 it was renamed the Theresia Bastion, in honor of Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria.

In the course of time, it was the residence of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Timișoara, then it housed several workshops and warehouses, an apprentice school, a riding school, an ethnography school, a fencing school, a printing house, boarding schools or the State Archives. After 1970, the ethnographic collections of the Museum of Banat, a technical museum and the old collections of the County Library were moved here.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Timișoara was defortified. Within it, almost all the fortifications were demolished. The Theresia Bastion was the only bastion that was not demolished, the reason being that it had usable rooms along its entire length.

Currently, the bastion belongs to the Timiș County (bodies A, B, C and E), administered by Timiș County Council, and to the municipality of Timișoara (body D), administered by Timișoara City Hall.

Restorations
The first restoration of the bastion was between 1968 and 1969, according to a project by the architect Ștefan Iojică. On this occasion, a passage through the bastion was made for car and pedestrian traffic, and reinforcements were made by pouring concrete. But a number of specific details were removed, and the ditch in front of the bastion was reduced.

A second restoration took place in 2008–2010 and was carried out in five construction phases. The restoration project was developed by Archaeus in 2004–2009 under the coordination of the architect Marius Miclăuș, and the contractor was the consortium Bennert GmbH/Prowa Contracting and Consulting GmbH. As part of this restoration, the cement-based mortars poured during the previous restoration were removed. The brick arches in the bastion's flanks and retreat were converted into porticos by inserting timber frames. The mounds of earth above the flanks and retreat, which formed breastworks and where firing barbettes were set up, were also removed. The inner courtyard of the fortification was completely redesigned, by arranging the body E, a stepped pedestrian area. The attic, which was not used in the last decades, was transformed into a cultural space with exhibition or conference halls. The 300-year-old beams have been preserved and enhanced, as have the ventilation shafts.

Description

The bastion was located in the eastern part of the fortress. It is currently located almost in the center of the city, lying between the 1989 Revolution Boulevard, Martin Luther Street, Ion I.C. Brătianu Square and Vasile Goldiș Street. It is crossed in the north–south direction by Hector Street. It is part of the protected construction area ZCP 01 – Cetate historic district.

It corresponds to the type of fortifications with three fortified "rings", characteristic of the first half and middle of the 18th century. The fortifications prior to 1707, from the time of Vauban, did not have the third ring.

The bastion consists of two flanks, the northern and the southern, about 142 m (75 fathom) long, which form an acute angle of 72° to the east. The ends towards the fortress of the flanks form the ears of the bastion. The bastion is provided with a retreat, being the only bastion of the fortress equipped with such a thing. The flanks had embrasures to the outside, and the retreat had embrasures both outward and inward. The purpose of the retreat was to defend in case the bastion was penetrated. To the west, the bastion is closed by a one-story building, which was used as a storehouse for food (proviant) and a powder room. The bastion was designed in this way to be able to function independently, as a last point of resistance, similar to a keep in medieval fortifications.

In the current classification, body A consists of the southern ear of the bastion and the southern wall of the retreat, body B consists of the one-story building with attic that closes the bastion to the west, body C consists of the northern wall of the retreat and the northern flank of the bastion to Hector Street, body D consists of the northern and southern flanks of the bastion east of Hector Street, and body E consists of the basement arrangement in the center of the bastion.

The extended play, the physical edition of which is a limited issue of 1000 copies, was released by The Vinyl Factory. It consists of covers of classic Italian pop songs as well as an original track entitled "In sintesi" produced by long-time musical collaborator Eddie Stevens. Two remix bundles of the album (available as a digital download and 12" vinyl) were released on 25 June and 10 September respectively.

Murphy commented on the official site for the EP that she "does not speak a word of Italian", admitting that although aided by her partner, Italian producer Sebastiano Properzi, "the correct pronunciation of the words along with understanding and conveying the meaning was difficult and tedious". She credited the songs with inspiring her to "exercise" her vocals and make them "bigger". Murphy also felt that her role in music is as a muse for the people she works with and highlighted this dynamic as affecting the recording of the EP, calling it a "natural disposition" for her since her days as part of Moloko.

title: The New Adventures of Little Toot

text:
The New Adventures of Little Toot is a 1992 animated feature film directed by Doug Parker.
It is based on the children's book character Little Toot, and follows an episode of Shelley Duvall's Bedtime Stories made by the same team in 1992.

Plot
The movie starts with three dogs in a storm. The father sends his children to a lifeboat while he stays on his ship. In the morning, Salty the Seagull and Echo the Dolphin notice the pups and bring them aboard the deck. Echo goes looking for Captain Dogwood, the father of the pups. The pups introduce themselves as Andy and Tina. Salty agrees to help find their father because he knows him. The only way to get to him is with Little Toot, a tugboat who used to be the busiest and proudest until the boats no longer needed him and he sat in the docks feeling sorry for himself until he grew dirty and messy and became the home for three cats, who make anything miserable.

They plan to dispose of the cats by scaring them, since cats are scared of dogs. At first the cats are petrified, but once they realize they are just puppies, they feel much less intimidated. The pups want them off Toot, but they refuse saying they need him to collect a shipment sardines they heard Dogwood was delivering. They also threaten to throw the pups overboard and feed them to a shark, until Salty gives Toot the encouragement he needs to get shoo the cats away. Toot uses his hose on the cats since they also hate water. It works and the cats run away. The crew then start to clean Toot up until he is ship shape once again. Echo returns and tells them that Dogwood is shipwrecked on an island. Salty goes to collect his most favorite food, Percy's Perfect Purple Pickle Pelican Pellets, while the others collect bubble gum and ice cream. As Little Toot chugs off, the cat Claws leader vows to use him to find all the sardines.

As Salty boards Toot, the gang travels many miles and destinations until they meet Typhoon Tessie, the weather lady. She proclaims that she knows what happen to Dogwood, saying she was responsible for the storm because it is her job to create the weather. She warns them that she must have her job to make sure the weather changes. She soon starts her weather storm and the gang battles through the weather. Meanwhile, the cats try to reach Toot, but battling the weather makes it difficult for them. They call out to the crew, and Toot heads back to save them.

When Salty points that they are heading towards Skull Rocks, the cats beg to return to their boat, only for it to sink. Lucky, Echo calls out to Toot to surf. By the time they make it out safely, the stormed has calmed. The pups congratulate Toot, while Salty orders the cats to clean up Toot, much to their chagrin. They make it to the island and find Dogwood's ship partly wrecked but safe. While Salty and the pups head out to find Dogwood, Toot falls asleep and the cats use the rope to tie the captain's ship to Toot, because they think that there are sardines in the kitchen. They find Dogwood who wakes up, happy to see his kids and Salty. Suddenly the volcano starts to erupt and they board Toot and sail out, while the cats manage to tie the ship on to Toot and be towed away. Lava blocks their way, but Toot has an idea. They put all the bubblegum in his mouth and he starts to blow a humongous bubble. They fly over the lava just in time.

As they float back down, they all congratulate Little Toot promising that there is still lots more for him to do and he replies that he will never feel sorry for himself again. As for the cats, they search the ship to find the sardines, only for Dogwood to reveal that he threw them overboard to lighten the boat, much to their dismay. When Toot compromises that they might like the pickles, Salty throws a fit refusing to share the pickles because he loves them so much, then starts babbling controllably until he manages to laugh at his own expense. Everyone begins to have a good laugh, except for the cats who decide to eat whatever is left on the ship and depressed that they don't have any sardines. As the rest of the gang laughs, they all head back to the harbor.

title: Rapid diagnostic test

text:
A rapid diagnostic test (RDT) is a medical diagnostic test that is quick and easy to perform. RDTs are suitable for preliminary or emergency medical screening and for use in medical facilities with limited resources. They also allow point-of-care testing in primary care for things that formerly only a laboratory test could measure. They provide same-day results within two hours, typically in approximately 20 minutes.

The European Union defines that a rapid test means qualitative or semi-quantitative in vitro-diagnostic medical devices, used singly or in a small series, which involve non-automated procedures and have been designed to give a fast result.

Lateral flow tests are probably the most known type of rapid diagnostic tests, similar to pregnancy tests, but there exist other systems as dipsticks, vertical flow, etc. Anything that can be used at bedside (point-of-care) of the patient. Emerging lateral flow technology, the Cornell FeverPhone, has been validated to differentiate causes of acute febrile illness such as Dengue Virus, Chikugunya Virus and Malaria using a single drop of blood in about 15 minutes.

Examples
Some examples of RDTs are listed below:
Rapid antibody tests
Rapid HIV test
Rapid plasma reagin
Rapid antigen tests
Rapid COVID-19 test
Rapid influenza diagnostic test
Malaria antigen detection tests
Rapid strep test
Rapid urease test
NEMIS Rapid pathogen screening test

title: Rottenmünster Abbey

text:
Rottenmünster Abbey, also the Imperial Nunnery of Rottenmünster (), was a Cistercian abbey located near Rottweil in Baden-Württemberg. The self-ruling Imperial Abbey was secularized in the course of the German mediatization of 1802–1803 and its territory annexed to the Duchy of Württemberg. The monastery was closed in 1850. The buildings of the former abbey now house a hospital.

History
In 1221, a branch of a sister community was formed at Hochmauern, south of Rottweil, thus founding the future monastery. On 9 May 1224, Pope Honorius III inducted the monastery into the General Chapter of the Cistercians. The Abbot of Salem, Eberhard von Rohrdorf, appointed the first Abbess, Williburgis. In 1237, Emperor Frederick II raised Rottenmünster to imperial immediacy and commended the protection of the monastery to the imperial city of Rottweil. Through donations and dowries, the monastery collected land between the Black Forest and Swabian Alb. The lands contained about 3,000 inhabitants and produced an annual income of about 30,000 guilders (in 1803). The Abbess was a member of the Imperial Diet and the Swabian Imperial Circle.

After the peak of 100 nuns at the end of the 14th century, the general population settled to between 20 and 30 nuns. During the Thirty Years' War, the monastery was looted by roving troops, and in 1643 the monastery was burned down by troops of the Duke of Württemberg. In 1662, only 14 women under vow and three lay nuns lived in the monastery. In the 18th century, the number of sisters rose to above 30. As a result of the Final Recess of 1803, the territory of the monastery was secularized and taken over on 23 November 1802 by Württemberg. Some 24 women under vow, four novices, and 14 lay sisters remained in the monastery. In 1826, the last Abbess Juliana Mayer died. In 1850, the last living sister, Franziska Gaupp, left the monastery. This ended its use as a Cistercian abbey.

Hospital
In 1898, a mental health institution was set up in the convent rooms, from which today's Vinzenz von Paul Hospital developed.

title: Pat Butler

text:
Pat Butler (16 May 1913 – 7 March 2001) was a British boxer who won the British welterweight title in 1934.

Career
Born in Rothley, Leicestershire, Butler was a grocer's assistant before he began his professional career at the age of 18 with a points defeat to Len Wickwar  in April 1932. In his first year, he lost several fights, but improved results, including a win over Wickwar in October 1933 led to a fight for the Leicestershire Welterweight title, which he won by beating Herbie Nurse. A run of victories, including a non-title fight against British welterweight champion Harry Mason, led to a challenge for Mason's title at Granby Halls, Leicester, in December 1934, which he won with on a points decision. By this point in his career Butler had fought 79 times, losing 13 fights. He fought several non-title fights in the month that followed and after suffering a first round defeat to Harry Woodward on 10 January 1935, he resigned as British champion, saying "I cannot go on like this. I must give up boxing for a time and take a long rest before returning to the ring." He soon returned, however, but he was hampered in 1935 by injury and illness including a septic arm, an ulcer on his eyelid, and a foot injury which turned septic. He was due to challenge Gustave Eder for his European welterweight title in March 1935, but the fight was cancelled with Butler needing to take a rest from boxing.

Butler retired after defeats to Kid Davies, Jack "Kid" Berg, and Eric Dolby in late 1935. He died in 2001.

Mario Abramovich (31 October 1926 – 1 December 2014) was an Argentine violinist and composer, considered an important figure linked to the music of tango.

He acted from a young violinist with excellent figures of tango integrating prestigious ensembles dedicated to the genre and has composed pieces.

He was a member of the group Sexteto Mayor since its founding in 1973, until his death in 2014.

Career
When Abramovich was six years old, he studied violin performance with Martin Llorca and later won a contest and became a violinist in the Teatro Colón. In 1943 he began his relationship with the tango. Worked as first violin with Osvaldo Fresedo, Miguel Caló and Argentino Galván, he joined the orchestra for 23 years of Héctor Varela and made recordings with Juan d'Arienzo and Aníbal Troilo.

In 1987, Abramovich performed on Bryan Ferry's solo album Bête Noire. He appeared on the Selección Nacional de Tango album En Vivo in 2005.

title: MACHO Project

text:
In astronomy, the MACHO Project was an observational search during 1992-1999 for dark matter around our Milky Way galaxy in the form of hypothetical Massive Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs), using the method of gravitational microlensing.
It was one of three first-generation microlensing searches started in the early 1990s, the others being the independent EROS and OGLE projects. The MACHO project was carried out by a team of US and Australian astronomers; observations used the  telescope at the Mount Stromlo Observatory near Canberra, which was dedicated to the project full-time from 1992 until 1999. The project did not solve the dark matter problem, but placed important upper limits on the fraction of dark matter in MACHOs across a wide range of masses, and achieved several notable discoveries in the field of microlensing, and new results on several classes of variable stars.

Microlensing

If a compact object (which may be dark or bright) is located very close to the line of sight to a background star, then gravitational lensing causes the star to appear to split into two images on opposite sides of the compact object (or a complete ring if the alignment is almost perfect). Microlensing refers to the special case of lensing where the two images are too close to be seen as separate objects in a telescope, but the time-varying geometry (as the source and lens move) causes the apparent brightness (the sum of the two images) to vary with time; this variation has a characteristic shape which can be calculated theoretically. Microlensing is predicted and observed to be very rare, typically less than 1 star per million microlensed at any given moment in time, but it is a powerful technique because the effect relies only on the gravity of the lensing object, rather than its light: therefore it is sensitive to completely dark or very faint objects including black holes, substellar brown dwarfs and remnants of dead stars (e.g. old white dwarfs and neutron stars). For these reasons, microlensing is very useful for testing whether dark matter is made of such objects.

Observations
The  telescope at Mt. Stromlo was refurbished for the project, and equipped with a prime-focus wide-field corrector, a dichroic beamsplitter and a pair of 16 megapixel CCD cameras (between 1992 and 1995, this was the largest CCD system in astronomical use). The cameras imaged a 42 by 42 arcminute square field of sky in two colours (blue-green and red light) simultaneously. Every clear night, the system monitored dense star fields, up to 80 fields in the Large Magellanic Cloud or 100 fields in the Galactic Bulge on a regular basis, with each field observed from twice per night to weekly, depending on field priority and season. From this image data, light curves (brightness vs time) were constructed for over 8 million stars in the LMC, and 15 million stars in the Bulge; large computer searches were then run to find brightening events characteristic of microlensing, and also variable stars.

Results
The project made a number of notable discoveries documented in around 35 scientific papers published between 1993 and 2003: the most important results were firstly, upper limits on the contribution of MACHOs to the dark matter in the Milky Way: no more than xx percent can be composed of MACHOs between xx solar masses () and xx solar masses; secondly, confirmation that microlensing occurs as expected, based on large samples of events with the theoretically predicted properties.

The project also achieved several "firsts" in microlensing, including the following:

 The first strong detection of microlensing of a star, in 1993.
 First real-time announcement of an ongoing microlensing event, in 1994.
 First observation of parallax effects in a microlensing event, in 1995.

Later developments
The MACHO project completed observations in December 1999; after 2000 the telescope+camera system was then used for a supernova search, but this was cut short when the telescope was destroyed by the January 2003 Canberra bushfires.

Several other microlensing surveys continued, including the OGLE and MOA projects, with the main focus after 2000 changing towards microlensing as a method for detection of exoplanets. Microlensing planet searches are especially sensitive to low-mass exoplanets and those in fairly wide orbits (many astronomical units, beyond the snow-line), and are also the only way of detecting "orphan planets" ejected from their parent systems; so microlensing planet searches are complementary to the better-known radial velocity and transit methods.
 the new Korean Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) is a new-generation microlensing survey. The future NASA NGRST space mission () includes a substantial microlensing planet survey as one of its key projects.

title: St. Mary's Church, Utrecht

text:
St. Mary's Church, also called Mariakerk or Maria Maior, was one of five collegiate churches in the Dutch city of Utrecht, the others being St. Martin's Cathedral, St. Salvator's Church, the Pieterskerk, and the Janskerk. It dated from the eleventh century and was considered one of the finest buildings in Romanesque style in the Netherlands.

The church was demolished in stages during the first half of the nineteenth century. Today only the cloister at the Mariaplaats remains, behind the Gebouw voor Kunsten en Wetenschappen which houses the Utrecht Conservatory.

History
St. Mary's Church was said to be founded jointly by Henry IV and Conrad, Bishop of Utrecht as the western culmination of the kerkenkruis of Utrecht. Conrad was a loyal supporter of Henry IV during the Investiture Crisis. He accompanied him during his expedition in Italy in 1083 and was present at his coronation as emperor in 1084.

The church was located further west in the kerkenkruis because the location in the immediate west of the Traiectum was already occupied by business district Stathe, and the Buurkerk.

From 1085 onward Conrad spend more time in Utrecht, and it is postulated that the construction of St. Mary's Church started around this time. The church was built to resemble the Speyer Cathedral in mind as an example, which served as the most eminent church of Henry IV, and which was the burial church of the Salian dynasty. As such St. Mary's Church became a symbol of the emperor.

In 1099 the construction of the St. Mary's Church had advanced to a point that the choir could be inaugurated. In the same year however, Conrad was murdered, and the construction came to a standstill. Only after an episode in 1133, when Floris the Black entrenched himself in St. Mary's Church during his raids of the diocese, construction was resumed, albeit under a different plan: the nave and the west side were performed in Lombard style, which gave St. Mary's Church a remarkable Italian appearance, unlike anything found north of the Alps. Around 1160 two towers were added next to the westwork.

At this point, St. Mary's Church had a very grand, monumental stature. Unlike the other Romanesque churches in Utrecht, it had two further transepts, was entirely vaulted in stone and additionally had stands above the aisles. St Mary's Basilica was linked to a chapter of thirty canons.

In 1421 the relatively modest Romanesque choir was replaced by a much larger Gothic choir. The windows in the west wall were also modernized. A picture of Emperor Henry was placed. In 1528 the painter Jan van Scorel became canon of St. Mary's Church; among other things he designed a rood screen and some stained glass windows. After his death he was buried in St. Mary's Church, his tomb becoming the first elaborately decorated grave ever to be given to an artist in the Netherlands.

The church' decline began during the siege of Vredenburg in 1576, when the north tower was destroyed by cannon fire. After the Reformation, the church was taken in use by the Anglican Communion and the choir was re-purposed to serve as an exhibition space. In 1682 the remaining tower was demolished followed by the demolition of the entire west side in 1715.

The lifting of the chapter in 1811 eventually led to the destruction of the church. Emperor Napoleon ordered the demolition of the church in 1813 for the proceeds from the sale of materials. The demolition was complete by 1816 leaving only the Gothic choir, which had served as a concert hall since 1764. This too was finally demolished in 1844, making way for the new Gebouw voor Kunsten en Wetenschappen.

Cloister

The cloister of St. Mary's Church was spared because at the time of the demolition of the church it resided on the territory of the Old Catholic Church. Of the three arms is the western arm is the oldest, originating in the eleventh century. The other arms arose around 1140. During later repairs of the cloister, the original tuff walls were replaced by brick. The columns and capitals are sandstone. The westarm was rebuilt in 1633. Restorations took place during the early twentieth century.

title: Infa Riot

text:
Infa Riot is a punk rock band formed in 1980 in Wood Green, North London, England by vocalist Lee Wilson and guitarist Barry D'Amery.
The name Infa-Riot is an abbreviation for "In for a Riot".

Infa-Riot played their first gig as supporting act for Angelic Upstarts in the Lordship Pub, Wood Green (now a betting shop). Their fourth gig was reviewed in the Sounds magazine by Thomas "Mensi" Mensforth of Angelic Upstarts. Two Infa Riot tracks were issued in the legendary Strength Through Oi! compilation in May 1981 and their classic song  Each Dawn I die was issued in the follow-up compilation Carry on Oi later in 1981. Their first single Kids of the '80's was released in September 1981. The single peaked number 2 at the UK Indie Chart in February 1982. Infa Riot's second single, The Winner came out in May 1982 and the debut album Still Out of Order in August. The album spent four weeks in the UK Albums Chart reaching number 42.

In 1984 Infa Riot changed their name for the less controversial The Infas and released their second album Sound & Fury. The Infas played their last gig in November 1985. It was recorded and released in 1988 in the Live and Loud!! series by Link Records. The band was formed again in 2011.
