title: Richard Stapleton-Cotton

text:
Admiral Richard Greville Arthur Wellington Stapleton-Cotton  (7 November 1873 – 5 January 1953) was a British officer of the Royal Navy.

Early life and family

Richard Greville Arthur Wellington Stapleton-Cotton was born at Wellington Barracks, London, on 7 November 1873, the second son of Colonel the Honourable Richard Southwell George Stapleton-Cotton (1849–1925), of Plas Llwynon, Anglesey, and his wife, the Honourable Jane Charlotte Methuen, daughter of Frederick Henry Paul Methuen, second Baron Methuen. His father was the younger son of the second Viscount Combermere and had been the Inspector-General of Police in Guiana from 1889 to 1891, was an officer in the Wiltshire Regiment, having served in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 and in Bechuanaland in 1885, and served as a Justice of the Peace for Shropshire and Cheshire.

In 1910, he married Olive Harriet Cotton-Jodrell, a daughter of Sir Edward Thomas Davenant Cotton-Jodrell, of Reaseheath and Yeardsley, Cheshire, Member of Parliament for Wirral, and his wife Mary Rennell Coleridge.

Stapleton-Cotton and his dog Tinker are the only two males ever to be accepted as fully paid-up  members of the Women's Institute: he played a major part in setting up the first WI meeting in the UK, held in Anglesey in 1915.

title: Calcium monohydride

text:
Calcium monohydride is a molecule composed of calcium and hydrogen with formula CaH.  It can be found in stars as a gas formed when calcium atoms are present with hydrogen atoms.

Discovery
Calcium monohydride was first discovered when its spectrum was observed in Alpha Herculis and ο Ceti by Alfred Fowler in 1907. It was observed in sunspots the following year by C. M. Olmsted. Next, it was made in a laboratory in 1909 by A. Eagle, and with early research by Hulthèn, and Watson and Weber in 1935.  It was further observed in red dwarfs by Y. Öhman in 1934. Öhman proposed its use as a proxy for stellar luminosity, similar to magnesium monohydride (MgH), in being more apparent in the spectra of compact, cool, high surface gravity stars such as M dwarfs than in cool, low surface gravity stars such as M giants of non-negligible, or even comparable, metallicity.

Calcium monohydride is the first molecular gas that was cooled by a cold buffer gas and then trapped by a magnetic field.  This extends the study of trapped cold atoms such as rubidium to molecules.

Formation
Calcium monohydride can be formed by exposing metallic calcium to an electric discharge in a hydrogen atmosphere above 750 °C.  Below this temperature the hydrogen is absorbed to form calcium hydride.

Calcium monohydride can be formed by laser ablation of calcium dihydride in a helium atmosphere.

Gaseous calcium reacts with formaldehyde at temperatures around 1200 K to make CaH as well as some CaOH and CaO.  This reaction glows orange-red.

Properties
The dipole moment of the CaH molecule is 2.94 debye. Spectrographic constants have been measured as bond length Re=2.0025 Å dissociation energy De=1.837 eV and harmonic vibrational frequency ωe=1298.34 cm−1. Ionisation potential is 5.8 eV. Electron affinity is 0.9 eV.

The ground state is X2Σ+.

The electronic states are:
6σ27σ X2Σ+
6σ23π A2Π
6σ28σ B2Σ+
6σ24π E2Π
6σ7σ2 D2Σ+

Spectrum
B2Σ, with ν'=0 ← X2Σ with ν"=0 634 nm (or is it 690 nm?) CaH fluoresces with 634 nm light giving 690 nm emissions.

B2Σ+ ← X2Σ+ 585.8 nm to 590.2 nm.

A+2Π ← X2Σ+ 686.2 to 697.8 nm

R12 branch

R2 branch

C2Σ+ →X2Σ+ transition is in near ultraviolet.

Microwave spectrum
The energy required to spin the CaH molecule from its lowest level to the first quantum level corresponds to a microwave frequency, so there is an absorption around 253 GHz.  However, the spin of the molecule is also affected by the spin of an unpaired electron on the calcium, and the spin of the proton in the hydrogen.  The electron spin leads to splitting of the line by about 1911.7 MHz, and the spin relative to the proton spin results in hyperfine splitting of the line by about 157.3 MHz.

Reactions
CaH reacts with Lithium as a cold gas releasing 0.9eV of energy and forming LiH molecules and calcium atoms.

title: 1973 Portuguese Guinea Legislative Assembly election

text:
Elections to the Legislative Assembly were held for the first and only time in Portuguese Guinea in March 1973.

Background
A fifteen-member Legislative Council had been established in Portuguese Guinea in 1963. Most members were nominated by colonial authorities or business groups. A minority of its members were elected, but only a small proportion of the colony's population met the literacy and tax-paying requirements to register as a voter.

On 2 May 1972 the Portuguese National Assembly passed the Organic Law for the Overseas Territories, which provided for greater autonomy for overseas territories. The Legislative Council was converted into a Legislative Assembly, with number of members increased to 17, of which five were to be elected by direct suffrage.

In late 1972 the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) held indirect elections to a National Assembly in the eleven regions of the territory that it controlled, with voting not taking place in the four still controlled by Portuguese forces.

Results
Due to the restrictive conditions on registering to vote and more than half the country being under the control of the PAIGC, there were only 7,824 registered voters, less than 3% of the adult population.

The elections were carried out on a non-party basis, with 6,995 people casting votes, giving a voter turnout of 89.4%.

title: Thulasi Nair

text:
Thulasi Nair is a former Indian actress who has appeared in two Tamil language films. She made her debut in Mani Ratnam's 2013 drama film Kadal.

Career
At age 14, Thulasi Nair was first considered for a role in director Mani Ratnam's Kadal after being recommended by actress Suhasini to audition for the lead role in November 2011. She was initially rejected with the director noting she was "too young for the role", before the team chose to sign her following Samantha's exit from the project. She would feature alongside fellow debutant Gautham Karthik in the leading roles, coincidentally 32 years after her mother and Gautham's father had also debuted together in Bharathiraja's Alaigal Oivathillai (1981). Nair lost twelve kilograms for the film and she went through a series of pre-production workshops conducted by actress Kalairani before the first schedule. Portraying the role of Beatrice, a young nurse with a child like personality, Nair worked alongside an ensemble cast including Arvind Swamy and Arjun and shot scenes across coastal Tamil Nadu. Her appearance was kept away from the media prior to release, with a clause in her contract preventing her from partaking in media interaction.

After the release of first theatrical trailer of the film, a kissing scene by her generated controversy as she was a minor. The film opened in February 2013 to mixed reviews and the film became a commercial failure at the box office. Nair's performance won positive reviews from critics, with Rediff.com noting that "when the script demands that she come to life at the end she manages to do it well." Similarly, another reviewer added "Thulasi, is natural and has lent an air of grace to her role", while Sify.com wrote "though she has a very little screen space, she has tried her best to do a fair job of the young, chirpy girl." Her performance fetched nominations for Best Female Debut Actress at the Vijay Awards and the South Indian International Movie Awards in 2014.

Before the release of Kadal, cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran signed on Nair to appear in a leading role in his maiden directorial venture, Yaan (2014). In Yaan, Nair played Srila, daughter of a retired defence officer, who lives in Chennai. Featuring alongside Jiiva, the film was shot extensively in Morocco and released in October 2014 to negative reviews and became a surprise failure at the box office. She received mostly negative reviews for her portrayal with Behindwoods.com noting "she gets a better outing this time, and has some range of expressions in her bag". In comparison, Rediff.com wrote that she is "barely recognisable", and that "there is barely any chemistry between the lead pair", while describing the film as a "terrible bore". She has not acted in any further film since.

Personal life
Thulasi Nair was born in a Malayali family to businessman Rajasekaran Nair and Radha, a leading actress in Tamil and Telugu films during the 1980s. Her elder sister Karthika is also an actress who appeared in Indian films, while she also has an elder brother, Vignesh Nair. Her maternal aunt Ambika was also a contemporary of Radha's, and Thulasi has revealed she often seeks advice on acting from her mother and sister.

She has juggled between completing her acting commitments and attending Podar International School in Mumbai.
She completed her undergraduate in Business Administration from Russel square international affiliated with Royal Holloway London. She then continued to pursue her Master in International Management from King's College London and graduated in 2020.

title: Vietnamese Nôm Preservation Foundation

text:
The Vietnamese Nôm Preservation Foundation (; Hán Nôm: ), shortened as the Nôm Foundation and abbreviated as VNPF, was an American nonprofit agency for language preservation headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, with an office in Hanoi, Vietnam. Established in 1999, it was engaged in the preservation of Chữ Nôm script (an ancient, logographic, Chinese character-based script once used by the Vietnamese people to write their language) remained in manuscripts, inscriptions and woodblocks.  In 2018, the Foundation declared its initial goal achieved and dissolved itself.

Foundation
The preservation of Chữ Nôm practiced by the foundation involves different approaches, such as the electronic font carving, ideograms entered into Unicode and the International Standard (regulated by ISO), digitization for displaying Nôm on the Internet and the revival of ancient works in literature, history, culture, musics and the arts (e.g. the chamber music called ca trù).

With the help of voluntary linguists, lexicographers and computer professionals from many part of the world, the VNPF publishes Nôm dictionary in both print edition and digital format, making it the first Nôm dictionary in TrueType. While granting scholarships to American and Vietnamese students who intend to research this subject, the VNPF also sponsored two international Nôm conferences and represented Nôm script at the international meetings held by the Ideographic Rapporteur Group.

Projects
There has been a scheme called the Digitization Project of the Hán-Nôm Special Collection cooperatively implemented by the Vietnamese Nôm Preservation Foundation and the National Library of Vietnam. In 2006, a Memorandum was signed by the VNPF, enabling it to build a digital library based on the existing collections in the National Library which stores world's most ancient scripts written in Hán Nôm. Through the resources from the National Library, the VNPF had digitized more than 2000 Hán Nôm texts until 2013.

Meanwhile, the VNPF has been directing another project to digitize the Thắng Nghiêm Temple (; Hán Nôm: ) near Hanoi. Constructed in the early 11th century under an imperial order, it is an important historical site for Asian Buddhism. The project will be completed by 2014, bringing a web database of the full record from the Temple, including manuscripts, epigraphical materials and visual heritages in Chữ Nôm. Additionally, the building structure and iconographical ideas of the Thắng Nghiêm Temple will be shown in a photographic overview.

Receiving funds from private donators, the Chino Cienega Foundation in California, the International Music and Arts Foundation in Liechtenstein, North Carolina State University and the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi, this project is aimed at recording Vietnamese Buddhism, offering historical documents of the Temple, opening a path for further temple digitization in the future and letting the materials to be globally accessible.

Staff
Since 1999, Professor John Balaban at North Carolina State University has been the president of the VNPF. In 2000, he published his influential book Spring Essence: The Poetry of Ho Xuan Huong (written in both chữ quốc ngữ and Hán Nôm), which was the first Nôm book ever printed in the modern times. Dr. Ngô Thanh Nhàn, a Vietnamese characters researcher at Temple University and a computational linguist at New York University, was the vice president from 1999 to 2007. Currently the VNPF has two vice presidents (Ngô Trung Viet and Brad Crittenden) and one secretary/treasurer (Stephen O. Lesser).

title: Parasesarma leptosoma

text:
Parasesarma leptosoma, also known as the arboreal crab, is an arboreal, leaf-eating mangrove crab, from East and South Africa where it is found on Rhizophora mucronata and Bruguiera gymnorhiza, but not on Avicennia marina. It occupies an ecological niche similar to that of another sesarmid, Aratus pisonii, from the Americas.

Crabs of the family Sesarmidae are some of the most diverse and important components of mangrove estuary communities in the tropics and are not found in Europe. Two genera common in African, Asian and Australian mangroves are Parasesarma (26 species) and Perisesarma (23 species). Often colourful, they have a squarish appearance and have two transverse pectinated crests on the upper edge of the male chelar carpus. The two genera are separated by the absence in Parasesarma or presence in Perisesarma of an anterolateral tooth.

Parasesarma leptosoma was formerly considered widespread in mangrove along the coast of the Indo-Pacific region. A taxonomic review found that this included several similar species and that the true P. leptosoma is restricted to coastal parts of South and East Africa, as far north as Tanzania. In order to escape low tide predators, this species twice daily climbs mangrove stems to the canopy and feeds on fresh leaves, and is commonly found on Rhizophora mucronata, but studies suggest that it prefers the foliage of Bruguiera gymnorhiza. Its diet also includes algae, mollusks, insects and annelids. Its aversion to Avicennia marina may be due to its secreting salt from its leaves, while both R. mucronata and B. gymnorhiza are salt excluders. Distinguishing characters are its propodus being three times the length of its dactylus, and the carapace width only some 2 cm. Females carry the eggs, which remain attached to the swimming legs or pleopods until hatching.

Important physiological adaptations enable these crabs to feed on leaves, with no evidence of fermentation in the gut, a solution common in other animals.

title: Gun laws in the United States Virgin Islands

text:
In the United States Virgin Islands, law regulates the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition. As the U.S. Virgin Islands are an unincorporated territory of the United States, many U.S. federal laws apply, as well as Constitutional rulings and protections.

Summary table

Licensing process
The U.S. Virgin Islands have a stringent and restrictive licensing process to purchase or carry a firearm. A person must be 21 to get a non-carry weapons license, along with several other requirements. Applicants must pay $75 licensing fee, submit a signed application, be fingerprinted and photographed, and be of good moral character. That process is just for a permit to purchase firearms to store in a residence or business, and not for a concealed carry permit. There are six types of licenses:
 Blue, Business Protection
 Yellow, Home protection and handguns only
 Gray, farming and long guns only
 White, all active law enforcement
 Pink, current and retired law enforcement, personal protection, and special circumstances
 Green, target shooting, sports use and home protection

As a result of the SCOTUS Bruen Decision (6/22), the police must issue a carry permit to anyone who is not already barred from owning a firearm.

title: Ballynahinch Olympic F.C.

text:
Ballynahinch Olympic Football Club is a Northern Irish, intermediate football club based in Ballynahinch, County Down, playing its matches at Kilmore Playing Fields, Crossgar. They play in the Premier Division of the Northern Amateur Football League. Club colours are Claret and Blue.

History

Ballynahinch Olympic was formed in 1973 as a community based club to cater for the increased demand for soccer in the Ballynahinch area. Some of the founding members include Brendan McAllister, Brian Sloan, Sean Murnin, Jim Dornan and Barney Brown.

The idea came initially from Barney Brown in a work tea hut and it grew from there through the first training session and into the game. That first ever game was against a Plessey team and not surprisingly Olympic were beaten easily. The first pitch was in Magheralone and the first strip ever worn was red and white stripes. It was donated by a team in Belfast that were in the process of changing their strip.

Newcastle League (1973-2009)

The first club silverware was won only 3 seasons after its formation when the team won the Newcastle League Division 2 in the 1976/77 season. The increasing interest in football and the club made it an easy decision to start up a 2nds team who completed their first season during 1977/78. In this season the 1st team, now in Division 1 went right through the season undefeated.

As the club continued to thrive, new faces were attracted and one in particular, Tom Potter, was to become the new driving force in the club over a 12-year period between 1978 and 1990. During Potter's reign the 1st team won the double of the Division 2 title and the Harry Clarke Cup. They also started up their youth sections which have been the key to the clubs success over many years.

The 1991–92 season was another milestone year for the club, under the stewardship of Norman McCullough, the team reached the semi-finals of the Harry Clarke Cup and several months later failed at the final hurdle in the prestigious Junior Shield, losing to Kelvin Old Boys at Ballyskeagh. The club did manage to win some silverware that season though, the 2nd team managed by Eamon (Mouse) Wilson won the Binian Cup after a marathon penalty shoot-out. This was the first of a number of wins in this competition for the 2nd team.

In the winter of 1994 a young player named Mark Quinn who had progressed through the ranks of our youth teams and was at this time a regular in the first team squad died in tragic circumstances. It was his family's wish that he be buried wearing his Olympic No 11 shirt. Because of this, the club approached the Newcastle League committee asking that we retire the No 11 shirt in memory of Mark. This request was approved by the said committee.

One of the local competitions which the club participated in remained elusive, namely the Bobby Dalzell Cup. This situation was addressed in the 1997/98 season when, after several postponements, the First team captured the trophy by defeating Kilkeel in the final. At this time Damien Travers was in charge of the 1st team.

At the end of the 2001/02 season the 1st team were relegated from the Premier Division. Into the hotseat came arguably the most successful management team the club ever had. Initially it was Paul (Charlie) Sloan and Francie McGoran and after the 2002/03 season they were joined by Steven Ward, three ex-players whose enthusiasm for the club never faltered even during many a lean year. The 2002/03 season seen the team go right through the league campaign winning every game. They finished the season as Division 1 champions, gaining promotion and winning the Purdy Cup along the way. Not satisfied with this, Sloan and Ward set about repeating the feat in the Premier Division. Many a dissenting voice at the start of the 2003/04 season reckoned the team would struggle to compete at the higher level. This was most certainly not the case and the team managed to go on and win the Premier Division title with games to spare. It is not often that a team retained the Premier League title, but in 2004/05 season, Olympic did so. Not only that, but the team also got to the final of both the Bobby Dalzell and Harry Clarke Cup competitions. They missed out on the Dalzell Cup, losing on penalty kicks to Castlewellan, but exacted some revenge by defeating Castlewellan in the Harry Clarke Cup final, scoring the winning goal with virtually the last kick of the game, making it another double winning season.

Although up to this point little has been said about the clubs 2nds team (and for the short time it existed, the 3rds team) but along with the youth teams they were the breeding ground for talent and ensured the ongoing success of the club.

Amateur League (2009-present)

The season of 2009/10 showed a new chapter for the club's history, their acceptance into the Northern Amateur Football League. After five years of trying with ill effect, their wishes were granted, with a step into Division 2C. The first league game was away to St.Theresa which ended in a 3–3 draw. Although, the club's first ever game in Amateur League football was in the Cochrane Crory Cup against Immaculata, going down 5–3. During this exciting period the club started to rise through the leagues with the return of managers Paul Sloan and Steven Ward in 2011/12 season, winning Division 2B in spectacular fashion clinching the title away to their local rivals Temple Rangers FC.

After promotion into intermediate football, season 2012/13 (Division 1C), playing their home games at Bellsbridge, ground sharing with Dromara Village F.C., the club proved again that it was a rising force in local football, narrowly missing out on league victory, but gaining promotion into Division 1B.

Niall (Minto) Murray took charge of the 1st team for the 2015/16 season in a player-manager role and guided his side to the top of the table, winning their first 10 games of the league campaign. Murray's stint as manager ended soon after though, resigning from his position to concentrate on his playing career and other commitments. His assistants Barry Reid and Martin Hughes stepped into the hotseat for the remainder of the season and the team never faltered. In the end, they won the Division 1B title by 12 points from second placed Newcastle FC.
The 2nds team continued to make giant strides under the leadership of long-standing chairman and manager Martin Sloan and former player John Molloy. After being promoted to the Newcastle League Premier Division for the first time, they secured a mid-table finish and made it to the Junior Shield last 16, to cap another good season for the senior teams.
That same season saw the formation of an U17 team which competed in the Downpatrick Youth League (DYFL). The team finished second in Section B and made it to the League Cup Semi-final under manager Barry McGoran.

Following promotion to Division 1A the club appointed Liam Sloan as manager alongside Barry Reid. Sloan had been heavily involved the club's recent success as a player and Reid, another former player himself agreed to continue in his role following the previous season's impressive league title win. The team met their aim of consolidation, eventually finishing eighth in a league won by East Belfast FC. They also reached the Semi-final of the Clarence Cup for the first time in their history, narrowly losing 2–1 to 1st Bangor FC at Seaview.
In the same season, the 2nds team were relegated from the Newcastle League Premier Division (NADAFL) after two years in the top flight.
The club also entered an U18 team into the South Belfast Youth League (SBYL) for the first time. The team, managed by Barry McGoran, had a good season, finishing third in their league.
It was a tough year for the club and the U18 team in particular following the devastating and tragic death of the highly rated and hugely popular Matthew Davis. The 18 year-old had only recently joined the club but had such an impact on his team-mates and peers that the SBYL renamed one of their cup competitions, The Matty Davis Cup, in his memory.

In the 2017/18 season, Sloan and Reid set a clear objective of achieving promotion, something both men were no strangers to. After a flawless start to the season, the team went on to achieve promotion and won the Division 1A League title on goal difference from second placed Islandmagee FC. The team only lost two league games all season and completed their meteoric rise to the NAFL Premier Division for the first time.
The 2nds team also saw a rapid change in fortunes following relegation to the NADAFL Division 1. Barry McGoran and Martin Sloan were appointed managers and despite falling just short of promotion (fourth place), they managed to reach the Bobby Dalzell Cup final after a 3–2 victory AET against Premier Division side Celtic Bhoys. The team went on to lose the final at Meadowvale, Drumaness, 3–1 against eventual treble winners Ballyvea FC.
In the same season, due to an increased demand in the club and the youth team players integrating into the senior teams, the club decided to form a 3rds team. Simon Walsh and Martin Hughes took the reins and the team finished in a very respectable fifth position in the NADAFL Division 2.

Following promotion as champions and the club getting a pitch passed to meet intermediate standard, the 2018/19 season was their first ever in the NAFL Premier Division. It meant the club had climbed seven divisions in ten years. An achievement largely attributed to the continuity and ambition of the club on and off the pitch.
Olympic finished fourth in the league, just three points behind second place and the club reached its first ever Border Cup final, beating Orangefield OB 2–1 at Seaview in the Semi-final, but losing out to Crumlin Star on penalties after leading 1–0 with two minutes of normal time remaining. Olympic also reached the Clarence Cup Semi-final for the second time but lost 3–2 to Rosemount Rec.
The 2nds team were thriving too, winning their first ten league games of the season, achieving their aim of promotion to the NADAFL Premier Division as champions, edging out local rivals Ballynahinch YM. They also reached the Bobby Dalzell Cup final for the second consecutive season after a tense Semi-final against Ballynahinch YM which ended 0-0 AET. Olympic ran out winners on penalties. But they struggled to land a blow in the final, losing 4–0 to Celtic Bhoys.
Brian McCaffrey was appointed 3rds team manager and guided a young side to a comfortable mid-table finish to round off another good season for the club.

The same management team's remained in place for the 2019/20 season and the club continued to progress. They won their first 12 league games and yet again reached the Border Cup final after beating Shankill Utd 2–1 in the Semi-final. On the same night the club's 2nds team beat Mourne Rovers 4–3 in the Bobby Dalzell Cup Semi-final. Incredibly, it meant that for the second year in a row the club had reached the same two cup finals, which were due to be played within one week of each other, over the Christmas period. In fact, it would be the third consecutive Bobby Dalzell Cup final for the 2nds team.
This time the 1st team faced Rathfriland Rangers in the final at Seaview. The game ended 2-2 AET which resulted in a tense penalty shootout with Olympic holding their nerve to claim a dramatic 7–6 victory and lift the Border Cup for the first time in their history. Olympic were top of the league when the season was abruptly cut short in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The 2nds were in a mid-table position in their first season back in the Premier League when the season came to a halt and they had to endure the pain of their Bobby Dalzell Cup final being declared null and void. The original Boxing Day 2019 fixture was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Drumaness FC's home ground, Meadowvale, where the game was traditionally played. It was rearranged for St.Patrick's Day 2020 but the Coronavirus Pandemic meant it was postponed for a second time. After several more attempts to play the game over a nine-month period, it was eventually agreed that the competition be declared null and void.

The club has a successful youth setup with age groups ranging from U6 - U17 and continues to run its own Saturday Morning Youth League under the stewardship of Stevie Ward.

title: Ettore Gabrici

text:
Ettore Gabrici (Naples, 23 November 1868 – Palermo, 28 January 1962) was an Italian archaeologist and numismatist.

Biography
He attended the University of Naples, taking the courses of Giulio De Petra and graduated in 1889. For a few years thereafter he worked as an adjunct professor in grammar schools and in 1893 he was invited by De Petra to produce the catalogue of the coins in the Santangelo collection. From 1898 he had a position collaborating with the Naples National Archaeological Museum.

There Gabrici focussed in particular on numismatic research, publishing articles in the Rivista italiana di numismatica and attending the international numismatic congress which was held in Paris in 1900, where he gave a paper with the title "Le rôle de la numismatique dans le mouvement scientifique contemporain" (The role of numismatics in contemporary scholarship).

In 1901 he obtained the professorship of ancient history, though he continued to work with the archaeological superintendencies and with the Naples Museum until 1902.

From 1903 he worked at the National Archaeological Museum in Florence, returning to Naples in 1905. In 1907 he achieved the position of inspector. In 1910 he failed to become the director of the Naples National Archaeological Museum and in 1914 he took on duties to the Museo di Villa Giulia in Rome. The same year he successfully gained the position of director of the Palermo Archaeological Museum along with a teaching position at the university.

From this point he focussed his attention on the archaeological investigation of Sicily, particularly Selinunte, where he conducted excavations from 1915.

In 1926 he was nominated archaeological superintendent, continuing to work at Palermo. The next year he gained the chair of archaeology and art history at the University of Palermo, which he held until his retirement in 1939.

Even in retirement he continued his research, publishing works through the 1950s. From 1956 he was a fellow of the Accademia dei Lincei.

title: João Suassuna

text:
João Urbano Pessoa de Vasconcelos Suassuna, better known as João Suassuna (9 January 1886 – 9 October 1930) was a Brazilian politician from the Sertão region. He was the father of the playwright and author Ariano Suassuna.

Biography
Suassuna was born in Catolé do Rocha. From 1924 to 1929, he was the president of Paraíba, immediately before João Pessoa. Whereas Suassuna was the defender of agricultural Sertão culture, João Pessoa was a supporter of modernisation. His son Ariano wrote about the opposition between the two men:

When Pessoa became president of his state, and Suassuna a deputy, the military were worried about this situation and declared part of Paraiba independent, which provoked the then President of Brazil, Washington Luís to intervene on behalf of the national government. Pessoa was murdered on 26 July 1930 by a relative of Suassuna.

On 9 October 1930 Suassuna was murdered in revenge in Rio de Janeiro where he had gone for a meeting with Washington Luís to try to find a solution to the social unrest in the sertão.

Legacy
 Ariano Suassuna was inspired by the life of his father to write the novel O Romance d'A Pedra do Reino e o Príncipe do Sangue do Vai-e-Volta.
 In 1960 the Campina Grande Airport was renamed the Presidente João Suassuna Airport.

title: Meander Dam

text:
The Meander Dam is a concrete gravity dam across the Upper Meander River, located in northern Tasmania, Australia. The impounded reservoir is called Lake Huntsman.

The dam was constructed in 2006 by the Tasmanian Rivers & Water Supply Commission for the principal purpose of delivering a reliable supply of irrigation water to the Meander Valley, estimated at . Adjacent to the dam is a small conventional hydroelectric power station.

Features and location
Proposals to build a dam on the Meander River below Warners Creek date back to at least 1968. The site was cleared in preparation for dam construction during the last 1980s. In 1995 a report by engineering consultants, GHD Group, stated that the lack of a reliable water supply for irrigation in the Meander Catchment is seen as a key factor limiting potential future expansion of agricultural enterprises. The pressure on water resources in the Meander Catchment resulted in the need to limit and sometimes prohibit the extraction of water from the river during the irrigation season. In 2002, a water management plan for the catchment was under development and was expected to address environmental flow concerns through the implementation of higher minimum river flows. This increase in minimum flows would result in the need to reduce the irrigation water currently extracted from the river, which would reduce agricultural production and prevent the development of water dependent agricultural enterprises.

However, the dam faced considerable opposition. Despite being passed by two other statutory committees of the Tasmanian Parliament, the Resource Management and Planning Appeal Tribunal knocked it back on economic and environmental grounds. The Tribunal vetoed the construction of the dam because it could not determine its economic value - as estimates ranged from a loss of 600,000 to nearly 40 million - and because it would affect two threatened species the epacris plant and the spotted tail quoll. In September 2003, following intervention by the Australian Government, the project was approved.

The Meander Dam wall, constructed with  of concrete, the gravity dam is  high and  long. At 100% capacity the dam wall holds back  of water. The surface area of Lake Huntsman is  and the catchment area is . The single uncontrolled centrally located conventional spillway is  wide with four off Flowgate spillway gates.

Since completing the construction of the Meander Dam a further four pump and pipeline schemes have been built to expand the reach of the water available from the dam and deliver irrigation water to the adjoining farming districts of Caveside-Dairy Plains, Rubicon River, Quamby Brook and Hagley.

In 2008, Irrigation Tasmania installed a 215m long floating safety barrier, to protect recreational users from the hazards of the overflow spillway.

Power plant
The Lake Huntsman Power Station has one unique double Francis-type turbine, with a generating capacity of  of electricity. The Meander Dam, which creates Huntsman Lake and supplies the power station with water was completed in November 2007. The power station was commissioned in February 2008 by Tyco Tamar. Electric power generation is a by-product of water released to primarily satisfy irrigation purposes.

title: Move (4L song)

text:
"Move" is a debut and only single by South Korean girl group 4L. It was released as a digital single on August 4, 2014, through Jade Contents Media and A&G Modes.

Release
Jade Contents Media revealed the first teaser of "Move" on 28 July, bringing in a lot of attention due to the lesbian couple themed MV. After releasing two more provocative teasers, controversies arouse and the company responded with "Our strategy is to show raw sexiness. The teasers are just the tip of the iceberg."

4L released the full MV for "Move" on 1 August, while the single was released on Korean online websites three days later.

Promotions
4L held their debut stage on music shows with "Move" 14 September on SBS's Inkigayo. The reason for the big gap between the release of the song and the debut stage was that the choreography, song and clothes had to be changed.

Music video
The full music video was released 1 August and reached 1 million views four days later. It was also the fifth most viewed worldwide Korean MV on YouTube in August, surpassing established songs from artists like Kara, Secret and Sistar. The video is lesbian themed, even though the lyrics are not.

title: Wiener Library for the Study of the Nazi Era and the Holocaust

text:
The Wiener Library is a research library at Tel Aviv University which focuses on the Nazi era and the Holocaust. In addition to research books, the Library also holds the Wiener Archival Collection, consisting of thousands of documents on the Nazi era and the fate of European Jewry. The Library operates as part of the Sourasky Central Library.

History
The Jewish Central Information Office (JCIO), which became known after the war as the Wiener Library, was founded in Amsterdam in 1933 by Dr. Alfred Wiener, an active member of the "Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith" (Centralverein) who left Germany when the Nazis rose to power, and Prof. David Cohen, an Ancient History professor at the University of Amsterdam and a prominent member of the local Jewish community.

The establishment of the JCIO was based in an idea from the late 1920s of German Jewish activists to collect information about the Nazi party, as part of the struggle to prevent the strengthening of the party. In a similar manner, the Amsterdam center aimed to draw world attention towards the dangers of Nazi Anti-Semitism, and the worsening of anti-Jewish policies in 1930s Europe.
In 1939 Dr. Wiener transferred the collection to London. Throughout the war years he and his assistants continued to collect information and documents regarding the German occupation policy, responses to it, and particularly on the fate of European Jewry. When the war ended, Holocaust survivors' testimonies as well as information regarding the fate of Jewish refugees were collected. Up until his death in 1964, Dr. Wiener and his team continued to focus on expanding the collection.

In the late 1970s the Wiener Library in London and Tel Aviv University agreed to transfer the entire collection to the university. Following the transfer in 1980, the university's leading historians decided to establish the Wiener Library as a research library affiliated to the Sourasky Central Library. Copies of the original documents can be found on Microfilm at the Wiener Library in London.

Today
The Library's collection has expanded considerably over the past three decades. It now contains: archival material and online databases of primary sources; research books; pamphlets and periodicals; as well as literature of nationalist, anti-Semitic and national-socialist origins. It includes such items as: various editions of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", German and European newspapers of the Nazi period, extreme-right pamphlets, anti-Semitic and fascist movements and Holocaust denial literature.

The archive consists of thousands of documents from Europe in the Interwar period the Nazi era, concerning mostly the Holocaust, and the fate of Jewish communities and refugees in the post-war era. The archive includes such items as: documents from the Bern Trial, documentation of German Jewry in the 1930s, documentation of Nazi bureaucracy, survivors' and refugees' testimonies and documents from the Nuremberg trials.

The Wiener Library closely collaborates with research institutes at Tel Aviv University's Faculty of Humanities. As a research library it organizes a wide range of academic activities in order to promote interest in and research of subjects relating to the Nazi era and the Holocaust, amongst which are: lecture series, academic conferences, research workshops and exhibitions.
