title: Benwerrin, Victoria

text:
Benwerrin is a rural locality in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia.

The original 1840s main track to Lorne passed through Benwerrin. The track was resurfaced with bluestone in 1877, but eventually bypassed for an easier alignment to the coast. Some remnants of the former track remain today, and are listed on the Surf Coast Shire's heritage inventory. Benwerrin Post Office opened on 1 November 1886 and closed on 30 June 1927.

Coal was found at Benwerrin in 1895, when mining began there on a small scale. The Great Western Coal Company being formed to mine it in 1897, and it initially carried the coal to Deans Marsh railway station by wagon. A second company was formed to build a tramway to the Forrest railway line in September 1898, but it went into liquidation by March 1899. The Great Western Colliery Company, which had taken over the mine, completed the tramway and it opened in 1893. The mine and tramway went into liquidation in December 1903; the tramway locomotive was sold in 1904 and the tramway lifted in 1905. The mine reopened in 1942 before closing for good in 1949, and little trace remains of the former tramway reservation.

Sawmilling in the area began in the 1870s and declined in the 1960s and 1970s. One mill which had survived the initial decline of the industry, Babington's Mill, closed in 1989 but reopened in 1991 as an open-air museum, the Babington's Benwerrin Sawmill Museum and Animal Nursery. The sawmill had been established in 1936 and survived the closure of many local mills in the industry by selling pulp and firewood before its eventual closure. Its reopening in 1991 by owner Erwin Babington saw the sawmill operate largely for tourist purposes, as both an indoor and outdoor museum with working demonstrations and guided tours. The museum no longer operates, but the site is locally heritage listed for its status as one of the few surviving mills in the area, and for its relatively intact complex of residential and industrial buildings and machinery.

Both the coal and timber industries at Benwerrin had to contend with the difficulties of transporting their product by wagon across the terrain of the Otway Ranges to the nearest railway station at Deans Marsh on the Forrest railway line. The coal mine attempted to address this by building a tramway, but following the failure of the mine and tramway in 1903, a movement began to extend another Otway Ranges railway, the Wensleydale railway line, to Benwerrin. Its advocates argued that it would open up excellent new timber country and revitalise the dormant coal industry. They also argued that it would allow for better tourist access to the town of Lorne, for which a through line was uneconomical due to the terrain. The railway authorities remained unconvinced that the extension to the already-failing Wensleydale line would pay for itself. While calls for the line to be extended to Benwerrin continued until at least 1919, it never occurred, and the Wensleydale line eventually closed in 1948.

The vast majority of the locality is today located within the Great Otway National Park and Otway Forest Park. The Deans Marsh-Lorne Road and the Benwerrin-Mount Sabine Road are the only two roads through the area. It includes sections of the Erskine River and the Stony Creek; the well-known Erskine Falls in neighbouring Lorne lie close to the border with Benwerrin.

title: Kappa Pictoris

text:
κ Pictoris, Latinised as Kappa Pictoris, is a star in the constellation Pictor.  It is close to the lower limit of stars that are visible to the naked eye having an apparent visual magnitude of +6.11. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.14 mas as seen from Earth, this star is located around 630 light years from the Sun.  At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.10 due to interstellar dust.

This is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B8/9 V. It is about 76.4% of the way through its main sequence lifespan. The star is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 264 km/s. It has an estimated 3.4 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 210 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,641 K.

title: Salvatore Rinella

text:
Salvatore Marcello Rinella (; born February 27, 1975, in Palermo) is a retired amateur Italian freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's middleweight category. He won three bronze medals in the 69 and 74-kg division at the Mediterranean Games (1997, 2001, and 2005), and also represented his nation Italy at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Having worked as a police officer for Polizia di Stato, Rinella trained full-time for the wrestling squad at Gruppo Sportivo Fiamme Oro in Rome, under head coach Mauro Massaro.

Biography
Rinella qualified for the Italian squad in the men's 74 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Earlier in the process, Rinella received a ticket to the Olympics by defeating Tajikistan's Yusup Abdusalomov for a third spot at the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria. He easily ousted Australia's Ali Abdo in his opening match on technical superiority, but fell behind Belarus' Murad Haidarau by a 2–4 deficit at the end of the prelim pool. Finishing second in the pool and seventh overall, Rinella's performance was not enough to advance him to the quarterfinals.

In 2005, Rinella overcame his Olympic setback with a third career bronze medal in the same class at the Mediterranean Games in Almería, Spain. He also sought his bid for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, but failed to earn a spot from the Olympic Qualification Tournament, effectively ending his sporting career.

title: CiteAb

text:
CiteAb Ltd is a life science data company located in Bath, England that offers an antibody, biochemicals, experimental models, kits and protein search tool to aid biomedical scientists in their research.

History and operations

CiteAb started in 2013 as an academic project by Dr Andrew Chalmers, a senior lecturer at the University of Bath. The resource was established to help scientific researchers find suitable antibodies for their experiments - such antibodies can be helpful in context of screenings, therapeutic development, and drug discovery.

CiteAb ranks antibodies by citations, making it possible for researchers to find reagents that have been successfully used in past research papers. The accompanying citations are listed, so the data contained within the publications can also be checked. The CiteAb platform was built in collaboration with technology company Storm Consultancy, in Bath, in 2012. A trial website was soft-launched in September 2012 before the full website was publicly launched in September 2013. In June 2013, the number of antibodies listed by CiteAb reached the one million mark. In July 2014 the company announced it had 2 million antibodies in its database. In 2018 CiteAb added a biochemical search to its platform.

The company spun out from the University of Bath in January 2014, and CiteAb Limited was formed.

Awards and Funding

Initial funding was provided as part of an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) ‘Knowledge Transfer Account' and the Higher Education Funding Council for England’s ‘Innovation Fund’ – with funds administered by the University of Bath’s Research Development and Support Office – to enable the growth and development of CiteAb prior to its spin-out.

CiteAb was winner of the Best Startup at the 2013 Bath Digital Festival. It was awarded funding from the West of England Growth Fund, administered by the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership.

In August 2014, CiteAb was shortlisted for the Bath Business Awards in the category 'Innovative Startup Business of the Year'. On 11 September 2014 the company was named as the winner of the Bath Business Awards 'Innovative Startup Company' category.

In March 2018 CiteAb won the 'Export' category in the Medilink South West awards - at that point the company's products and services are used by between 50k and 100k individuals per month from 196 countries and 1,400 institutions.

title: Asno de las Encartaciones

text:
The , , is a breed of small domestic donkey from the western part of the autonomous community of the Basque Country, in north-east Spain. It is named for the comarca of Las Encartaciones (Enkarterri), in the province of Biscay (Bizkaia). It is the only small donkey breed of Spain, and resembles the Gascon donkey, now a sub-type of the Pyrenean donkey. The Asno de las Encartaciones is critically endangered, and is protected by conservation measures.

History

The Asno de las Encartaciones is indigenous to the western part of the province of Biscay, and is concentrated in the municipalities of Artzentales, Balmaseda, Galdames, Gordexola, Güeñes, Karrantza, Lanestosa, Sopuerta, Turtzioz and Zalla. The breed almost disappeared during the course of the twentieth century. The fall in numbers began in the first decades of the century, and was most rapid in the 1960s and 1970s; the population numbered about 1000 in the early 70s, and had fallen to barely 100 by the late 90s. As with other donkey breeds, the principal causes were the mechanisation of agriculture and the depopulation of rural areas.

The Asno de las Encartaciones was presented at agricultural fairs in Gordexola in 1994 and at Markina in 1995. As a result, a breeders' association, the , was formed in 1996, and a conservation plan, including a 12-hectare reserve at Gordexola, was published in 1999.

The breed was officially recognised in 2004. Its conservation status was listed as "critical" by the FAO in 2007 and by the SAVE Foundation in 2008. No population data is published by the Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente, the Spanish ministry of agriculture. Numbers of about 100 were reported in 1999, 2001 and 2008.

Characteristics

The Asno de las Encartaciones is the only small donkey breed in Spain. It stands about  and weighs approximately . The coat is black or dark bay in colour; the belly, muzzle and surround of the eyes are pale-coloured. It may have a darker dorsal stripe.

Use

The Asno de las Encartaciones is small but strong. It was used in the extraction of minerals from the mines of the Cantabrian coast, and in all kinds of agricultural work. Its hooves are small and do not damage the terrain. Because of the competitive nature of jacks, Basque farmers preferred to keep jennies; the meat of jack foals slaughtered at about three months was a traditional local delicacy.

title: Counter Fraud Centre

text:
Every year in the UK up to £49bn of public money is lost to fraud. Resources are stretched and fraudsters are increasingly sophisticated, making the public services more vulnerable than ever to criminal activity.

The CIPFA Counter Fraud Centre was launched in 2014 by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA). It builds on the Institute’s 130 year history of championing excellence in public finance management and is committed to helping public sector organisations prevent, detect and recover financial loss.

The Centre was named in the UK Government’s 2014 Anti-Corruption plan and in the 2017-22 Anti-Corruption strategy as having a key role to play in combating corruption, both within the UK and abroad. It also conducts the definitive survey of fraud and corruption activity in local government, the annual CIPFA Fraud and Corruption Tracker (CFaCT) survey.

The Centre supports the national counter fraud and anti-corruption strategy for local government, Fighting Fraud and Corruption Locally and offers training and a range of products and services that aim to measurably impact the fight against fraud in the public sector.

title: Louis Jean Baptiste Bergeron

text:
Louis Jean Baptiste Bergeron (10 March 1876 – 23 February 1948) was a French entrepreneur, engineer and inventor.

Bergeron was born in Lagnieu. In 1900, he started work as an electrical engineer and made a career in the Farcot company in St Ouen, a factory of steam engines and high-power electrical machines. In 1918, together with Beaudrey, he co-founded the company Beaudrey-Bergeron, which later, after a friendly split with Beaudrey, became Bergeron S.A., now part of Alstom.

He is remembered for his practical, mathematical methodology to study water hammer in hydraulic pipe systems which he also showed to be useful in the study of electromagnetic voltage/current surges in electricity systems. His last work From water hammer in hydraulics to lightning surges in electricity, published posthumously, became a reference work in electrical engineering.

In electrical engineering, application of so-called "Bergeron equations" allows the calculation of travelling wave phenomena in "long" conductors using numerical analysis. Hermann W. Dommel used these "Bergeron equations" in the EMTP (electromagnetic transient program) software in the late 1960s.

title: Tempelherrenhaus, Weimar

text:
Tempelherrenhaus (House of the Templers) was a venue in Park an der Ilm, Weimar, Germany, which emerged in the 18th century. It was ruined during a bombing during the Second World War.

History
When the Park an der Ilm was developed in the 1780s, the former Welsche Garten was included in the park. An old greenhouse, the Alte Orangerie, was converted to a romantic lounge in the park for the ducal court. The conversion was based on a design by Johann Friedrich Rudolf Steiner (de). It is located near the Roman House. It was used for social events, small receptions, exhibitions and concerts.

The upper corners of the roof were adorned in 1788 by court sculptor Martin Gottlieb Klauer, who created four wooden life-size sculptures representing Templar knights. The name of the house, derived from them, came in use around 1820. The wooden statues were replaced in 1818 by sandstone statues by .

In March 1945, the end of the Second World War, the house was destroyed by a bomb attack on the town. All that remained was the 1816 tower. Only one torso of a Templar figure remained in place. The other three are located in the basement of the Roman house, in an exhibition of the history of the Park an der Ilm. The tower was restored in 1998.

title: Dudley Collard

text:
William Dudley Collard (1907–1963) was a British barrister and writer on law in the Soviet Union. Collard was a member of the Anglo-Soviet Law Association, and represented the Communist Party of Great Britain as a lawyer. His affiliation with communism led to the intelligence services keeping a file on him.

Following the "Trial of the Anti-Soviet Trotskyist Center" in 1937 (the second of the Moscow Trials), Collard published a book through the Left Book Club entitled Soviet Justice and the Trial of Radek and Others which argued that the trials had been conducted fairly. Most historians now conclude that the Moscow Trials were show trials.

He was married to Elizabeth Katherine Collard (1911—28 December 1978), a writer, journalist and political activist with a particular interest in Middle Eastern issues.

title: Pro Natura (Switzerland)

text:
Pro Natura, founded in 1909 in Basel as Swiss League for the Protection of Nature, is the oldest environmental organisation in Switzerland.

Pro Natura takes care of about 700 nature reserves of various sizes throughout Switzerland (250 square kilometres, of which 60 square kilometres are owned by Pro Natura).

History

In 1909, representatives of the Swiss Society of Natural Sciences founded the Swiss League for the Protection of Nature (German: Schweizerischen Bund für Naturschutz, French: Ligue suisse pour la protection de la nature) to fund and create the Swiss National Park (inaugurated in 1914). In 2000, Pro Natura launched a campaign supporting the creation of a second Swiss National Park.

In 1947, the Swiss League for the Protection of Nature organised an international conference on the protection of nature in Brunnen. It resulted in the creation of the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1948.

Between 1958 and 1963, the Swiss League for the Protection of Nature, together with the Swiss Heritage Society and the Swiss Alpine Club, established an inventory of landscapes and natural sites of national importance. Based on it, the Swiss Federal Council published the Federal Inventory of Landscapes and Natural Monuments in 1977.

Since 1995, Pro Natura has been a member of the global environmental network Friends of the Earth. In 1997, the Swiss League for the Protection of Nature adopted the name Pro Natura.

Objectives

The four main objectives of Pro Natura are:
 Enhance biodiversity
 Ensure the landscape identities
 Conserving natural resources
 Increase the relationship with nature

They reach their objectives through:
 Protection of nature at the political level (campaigns, federal popular initiatives, etc.)
 Nature protection in the field (nature reserves)
 Environmental education (nature centres, activities for schools, etc.)
 Communication (Pro Natura magazine)

Controversies
In 2020, 3 women left the Vaud division of Pro Natura, after having been subjected in 2018 and 2019 to behaviors cited as humiliating and demeaning by the executive secretary Michel Bongard. Although relieved of certain managerial functions, Bongard remains in office. According to the president of the Vaud chapter, Serge Fischer, who mentioned the possibility of filing a complaint because a confidentiality agreement had been established with the victims, the problem is limited to managerial errors.  Despite the introduction of a charter for equality in December 2019, women remain a significant minority at the head of the organization.

Other

Pro Natura also draws public attention to grievances. The foundation started a media campaign in November 2014 calling for action by the federal authorities regarding excess inventory in the structures for breeding livestock and the eutrophication of fields, which has increased massively since the 1990s, particularly in the case of phosphorus.

title: Francesco Miano-Petta

text:
Francesco Miano-Petta (born April 12, 1979, in Naples) is a retired amateur Italian freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's super heavyweight category. He won two bronze medals in the 120-kg division at the Mediterranean Games (2005 and 2009), and finished tenth at the 2004 Summer Olympics, representing his nation Italy. Having worked as a police officer for Polizia di Stato, Miano-Petta trained full-time for the wrestling squad at VVF Padula in Naples, under head coach Luigi Marigliano.

Miano-Petta qualified for the Italian squad in the men's 120 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Earlier in the process, Miano-Petta finished third from the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria to guarantee his spot on the Italian wrestling team. He lost two opening matches each to U.S. wrestler Kerry McCoy (0–7) and Kazakhstan's Marid Mutalimov (0–3) by an identical margin, but sailed smoothly with an easy victory over Kyrgyzstan's Yury Mildzihov, who forfeited to appear in their match due to injury. Finishing third in the prelim pool and tenth overall, Miano-Petta's performance was not enough to advance him to the quarterfinals.

Miano-Petta also sought his bid for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, but failed to earn a spot on a miniature Italian wrestling team from the Olympic Qualification Tournament. In 2009, he capped off his sporting career with a second career bronze medal in the 120-kg class at the Mediterranean Games in Pescara.

title: Bosniaks in North Macedonia

text:
The Bosniaks in North Macedonia (, ) number 17,018 people according to the 2002 census. The population is largely concentrated in and around the capital Skopje, but also in the municipalities of Veles and Dolneni.

Culture

Religion

Bosniaks started settling in Macedonia after the Congress of Berlin in 1878. Bosniaks in the Republic of Macedonia are predominantly adherents to Sunni Islam.

History
In 1952, Yugoslavia and Turkey signed a free emigration agreement that allowed for Muslims in Yugoslavia to migrate to Turkey. Some of these individuals from more northern portions of Yugoslavia did not complete their migrations and instead settled in Macedonia, including 5,276 Bosniaks from Sandžak.

The historical censuses in Yugoslavia recorded "Muslims" (Muslimani), the so-called ethnic Muslims, in the SR Macedonia at the numbers of: 1,248 (0.1%) in 1971; 39,512 (2.1%) in 1981; 35,256 (1.7%) in 1991.

title: Bathurst Bullet

text:
The Bathurst Bullet is an express passenger train on the Blue Mountains Line operated by NSW TrainLink between Sydney and Bathurst. The service operates from Bathurst towards Sydney in the morning, and returns in the afternoon.

History
At the 2011 election, the incoming Liberal/National coalition government committed to introduce a day return service from Bathurst to Sydney for those working in Sydney.

Bathurst was already served by the daily Central West XPT and weekly Outback Xplorer services, but these were morning departures from Sydney, returning in the afternoon. The last day return service to Sydney had ceased in November 1988, being replaced by road coach services connecting with train services at Lithgow.

The Bathurst Bullet commenced operating on 21 October 2012. It is operated by a diesel-powered two-carriage Endeavour railcar. Upon reaching Bathurst, it returns to Lithgow to stable overnight. During periods of high demand such as the Sydney Royal Easter Show, it is operated by two sets.

In March 2014, a submission was made to extend the service to Orange. The submission to extend the train service was not successful but a connecting road coach service commenced 15 June 2015 for a six-month trial instead. Since October 2019, all Bullet services have a road coach connecting with Orange.

In August 2019, the NSW Government announced that a second daily return Bullet service will be started. The new service, known as Bathurst Bullet 2.0, commenced on 16 September 2019, with both Bathurst Bullet services now stopping at Tarana and Rydal. On Wednesdays, the Bathurst Bullet 2.0 operates to a slightly delayed schedule, to accommodate for the Indian Pacific.

title: John Humffreys Parry

text:
John Humffreys Parry (24 January 1816 – 10 January 1880) was a British barrister, who became serjeant-at-law.

Early life
The son of John Humffreys Parry the antiquarian (1786–1825), he was born in London on 24 January 1816. He received a commercial education at the Philological School, Marylebone, and spent a short time in a merchant's office in London; but then took a post in the printed-book department in the British Museum. He attended lectures at the Aldersgate Institution and studied for the bar.

Legal career
Parry was called to the bar in June 1843 at the Middle Temple. On the home circuit he built up a good criminal business, principally at the Old Bailey and the Middlesex sessions. Appointment as a serjeant-at-law, in June 1856, led him to success also in the civil courts. He was also largely employed in compensation cases, especially for the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway.

Parry obtained a patent of precedence in 1864 from Lord Westbury, and then led the home circuit. In November 1878 he was elected a bencher of the Middle Temple. His best-known cases were the trial of Manning in 1849; of Franz Müller, for the murder of Mr. Briggs, in October 1864; the Overend and Gurney prosecution in 1869; the indictment of Arthur Orton the Tichborne claimant, in 1873–4; and Whistler v. Ruskin in November 1878.

Political views
In politics Parry was a Radical—or advanced liberal—and at the time of the first Chartist movement he sympathised with some of their moderate views, and knew many of their leaders: William Lovett mentioned assistance received from him. Parry was also one of the founders of the Complete Suffrage Association in 1842.

In 1847 Parry unsuccessfully contested  against Lord Douro and Sir Samuel Morton Peto. In 1857 he was beaten in  by Tom Duncombe and William Cox, coming third at the poll despite heavy spending.

Death

Parry died on 10 January 1880 at his house in Holland Park, Kensington. He was buried at Brookwood Cemetery in Woking on 15 January 1880.

Family
Parry was twice married: first, to Margaret New, who died on 13 September 1856; and afterwards to Elizabeth Mead, daughter of Edwin Abbott; she predeceased him by a few hours. He had two sons, of whom the elder, John Humffreys, an actor, died in 1891; the second was Edward Abbott Parry, judge and man of letters.

The Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center is an environmental and cultural community center and museum in Buford, Georgia, United States. The center opened in 2006 and is designed to be an educational facility with a focus on environmentalism. The building itself follows the center's environmental theme and is a green building that utilizes less water and energy than other buildings of its size. It hosts exhibits and summer programs, many of which are focused on environmental topics, including water science and preservation primarily geared towards children. Located at the center are an historic home and barn from the 1800s that were each moved to sit adjacent to the facility in 2012 from elsewhere in Gwinnett County. It also has a ropes course that opened in 2011 and is connected to a series of several miles of walking trails that lead to other nearby destinations.

History
The center was the result of a collaboration between the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Gwinnett County Public Schools, the University of Georgia, and the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center Foundation. It was created as an educational facility for Gwinnett County with a focus on environmental issues. Funding for the $16.6 million project was provided through a special purpose local option sales tax that Gwinnett County implemented in 2001 and 2005.

The building was designed by architect Meg Needle of the Atlanta-based architecture firm Lord Aeck Sargent. Construction of the center began in spring of 2005, and construction was completed in August 2006. The center hosted an open house on September 30, 2006 and officially opened on October 6, 2006. New facilities were added in 2012 via a $2.2 million contract which included a festival field for outdoor events as well as a  storage building that were intended to highlight sustainable construction and environmental technologies.

Facility

The building is Gwinnett County's first LEED Gold certified building. The facility is made of stone and natural pine. It is designed to use 75 percent less potable water and 35 percent less energy than a typical building of the same size. The center is adjacent to the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center, one of the three most effective water reclamation facilities in the United States.

The center has a focus on water-saving and energy-saving strategies, such as using non-potable water from the nearby water reclamation facility for toilets, irrigation, and as part of the building's cooling system. The paved areas include porous paving and bioswales to help channel groundwater and runoff.

The roof is a  vegetated sloped roof, which was the largest sloped green roof in the United States at the time of its construction. The roof is planted with six different species of sedum to reduce surface runoff and to improve the quality of the runoff. The resulting grass on the roof grown from the sedum also reduces the heat absorbed by the building, keeping the building cool. The interior of the center is variously described as being  or ,

The building's location was chosen to minimize the need for grading, and because the chosen location had a dry ravine that was built over, with one wing on each side of the ravine with a bridge over the ravine connecting the two wings. The ravine was turned into a man-made stream made of reinforced concrete that flows between the two wings of the center and acts as a horizontal cooling tower.

The center is located on  of land and is connected to several miles of walking trails with a council ring and covered pavilion, and which connect to the Ivy Creek Greenway, the Mall of Georgia, and George Pierce Park. The center serves as a venue for events and weddings and allows for the rental of conference rooms, pavilions, a catering kitchen, and a theatre presentation center.

Exhibits
The center provides scientific, environmental, and cultural exhibits. Many of the exhibits are focused on the topics of water and water conservation, with many of the exhibitions geared towards school-age children. The center has hosted exhibits on the area's original Creek and Cherokee inhabitants, folk art exhibitions, and workshops that encourage environmentally friendly ways of living. In 2021 the Gwinnett County commissioners approved a $1.97 million exhibit called "Pathways Through the Piedmont" to showcase the ecosystem in the Piedmont region of the United States, including its waterways, geological formations, flora, and fauna. The center also hosts seasonal activities such as summer camp programs and acting as a location for environmentally-friendly Christmas tree removal after the end of the holiday season.

Chesser-Williams House

The Chesser-Williams House is a preserved home from the 1850s that was moved from its original location to sit adjacent to the museum. The house is an antebellum house made of heart pine in an I-house style. It is unknown who built the house, but it was owned and lived in by American Civil War veteran Benjamin Chesser in the 1870s, who had served Georgia in the American Civil War as part of Company D of Georgia's 9th Artillery Battalion, known as the "Gwinnett Artillery". Chesser was living in the house when an unknown itinerant German painter traveling from Texas to North Carolina painted scenic folk art on the interior and exterior of the home in exchange for room and board. The scenic painting-style folk art can be found inside the home in places such as the overmantel.

Donated by Jerald Williams, ownership of the Chesser-Williams house was given over to Gwinnett County in May 2012. In September 2012 the kitchen of the home was moved six miles from Braselton Highway to the museum, and in November 2012 the remainder of the house was moved. In 2015 the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center received an "Excellence in Preservation Award" from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation for their efforts in preserving the Chesser-Williams House.

Adjacent to the Chesser-Williams House is the Lee Farm Barn, an historic crib barn from the 1800s. The barn was moved in 2012 from its original location in Lilburn, Georgia by dismantling it and reconstructing it in its new location. Separate from the center itself, the Chesser-Williams House and Lee Farm Barn are also used as a venue for events and weddings.

Treetop Quest
The center is the Gwinnett location of Treetop Quest, an outdoor ropes course that opened at the center in September 2011. Amongst the trees there are more than 120 courses for participants of differing ages, including zip-lining courses, rope ladders, monkey bridges, and rope swings. All of the courses have a belay system.

title: Muratti (cigarette)

text:
Muratti is a brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Philip Morris International. Several Muratti variants have been introduced over the years and were also sold as Ambassador, Ariston, Cabinet, Gentry, Iplic, Peer and Regent.

History
The company was founded in Istanbul by Greek tobacco trader Basil Muratoglu, in 1821. He moved the company to Western Europe in the 1880s, after the Ottoman Empire monopolized the tobacco industry—in 1885 the company was established in Berlin, Germany, and in 1887 in London, Great Britain.

Until 1939, the German army administration seized the entire production site in Köpenicker Straße. Muratti had to move to commander road number 20. Three years later, however, the Nazis completely shut down the factory, and at the end of the war, all the tobacco in the city was consumed. The Berliners were lining up for a pack of "Sondermischung", and on the black market a stick of American cigarettes cost 1,000 Reichsmarks.

The English company ended up under Philip Morris International. The German brand was bought by Martin Brinkmann in 1960, and now belongs to British American Tobacco.

Muratti cigarettes are sold in three varieties, Rosso, Chiaro and Zaffiro, all packaged in pichular packaging and featuring a slim profile.

In November 1991, cigarettes which were "too strong" for the Italian market were to be banned in the coming months, and all cigarette brands were to be lowered in tar and nicotine. A Muratti Ariston Filter cigarette contained 14 mg of tar at the time.

In December 1991, the distribution of the brands Marlboro, Merit and Muratti were suspended in Italy for one month due to problems with counterfeit cigarettes.

In February 1992, a third tax in 14 months was put on cigarettes in Italy, increasing the price of cigarettes by 50 or 100 Lira. A pack of Muratti Ambassador cost 3550 Lira at the time.

In January 2016, cigarette prices in Italy went up by 20 cents, and a pack of Muratti Ambassador Blu went from €5,20 to €5,40.
As of May 2023, the price of one pack of Muratti Ambassador is €6,20, regardless of the variety.

Advertisement

Various poster, billboard and magazine advertisements have been made to promote Muratti, both before and after World War II. The ones made after the war were especially promoting the "Charcoal multifilter" it had.

A film ad was also made in 1935.

A special set of cigarette cards were made for the 1936 Summer Olympics. They were given when you bought a pack of Muratti cigarettes.

In the 1980s, Philip Morris made a few posters and even a TV spot, and teamed up with the watch manufacturer Quartz to produce a watch called "Muratti Time".

In 1985, Muratti sponsored a concert of Paolo Conte in Bologna.

Sport sponsorship

Rally
Muratti sponsored an Italian rally event that was held in Gennargentu, Sardinia in June 1983 and 1984 called the "Muratti Adventure". In total, the rally consisted of five stages, seven special stages, plus six special sectors (in practice other special speed tests) for a total of 1,020 km. In this rally, the contestants had to drive from the eastern to the western part of Gennargentu, dubbing it as "the toughest rally race ever held in Italy".

Football
In 1905 the brand sponsored a football cup, named the Muratti Vase, being an annual competition between Alderney, Guernsey and Jersey.

Markets
Muratti (that includes all the other, older variants) was or still is sold in the following countries: United States, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and India.

title: KK Plama Pur

text:
Košarkarski klub Plama Pur () is a Slovenian basketball club based in Ilirska Bistrica that competes in the Slovenian Second League, the second tier of Slovenian basketball.

History

The club was founded in 1956 as a basketball section of TVD Partizan Ilirska Bistrica. It was renamed to KK Lesonit in 1962. KK Lesonit won the Slovenian Republic League in 1964 and qualify to Yugoslav First Federal Basketball League. In the 1965 season of the Yugoslav First Federal Basketball League, KK Lesonit won only once, against KK Rabotnički Skopje, finishing the season in last place with one win and 21 losses in 22 games. After being relegated from the Yugoslav First League, KK Lesonit played another three seasons in the Yugoslav Second League before being relegated back to the Slovenian Republic League in 1969. The club ceased to operate in the eighties, when basketball moved to indoor arenas and Ilirska Bistrica did not have adequate facilities. It was refounded in 1996 and is now named KK Plama Pur Ilirska Bistrica for sponsorship reasons. The club competed in the 3. SKL-West league until 2013, when it was promoted to the Slovenian Second Basketball League. In the 2013–14 Slovenian Second League season Plama Pur finished second, qualifying for playoffs to the Premier A Slovenian Basketball League. Plama Pur finished the playoffs in last place with a 0–4 score, with two losses against KK Šentjur and KK Elektra Šoštanj, respectively. In the 2014–15 season, Plama Pur finished seventh, barely escaping the relegation playoffs with a last round win over KK Celje, which sent Celje into the Slovenian Second League relegation playoffs. Before the start of the 2015–16 Slovenian Second League season, Martin Novak resigned after five years as head coach. He was replaced by Grega Nachbar, younger brother of basketball player Boštjan Nachbar.

The 2014 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby (known through sponsorship as the Gillette Home Run Derby) was a home run hitting contest in Major League Baseball (MLB) between five batters each from the American League and National League. The derby was held on July 14, 2014, at the site of the 2014 MLB All-Star Game, Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Yoenis Céspedes was the winner, repeating his winning performance in 2013 to join Ken Griffey Jr. and Pete Alonso as the only players to win consecutive Home Run Derbies.

In June, MLB named José Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays and Troy Tulowitzki of the Colorado Rockies the Home Run Derby captains. On July 8, 2014, the captains each made their first three picks, while saving their final pick for July 10. Tulowitzki selected Todd Frazier of the Cincinnati Reds, Yasiel Puig of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins, and would later select his teammate Justin Morneau who played in Minnesota for ten seasons. Bautista selected defending home run derby champion Céspedes of the Oakland Athletics, Brian Dozier of the Minnesota Twins, and Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles, and added Oakland's Josh Donaldson as his fifth AL selection.

Rule changes
As announced by Major League Baseball, there were changes to the format of the Home Run Derby in 2014. Five players participated from each league, making ten total participants rather than eight in the past. The batting order for the first round was determined prior to the event, with hitter #1 for the National League hitting first, followed by hitter #1 for the American League, and so on until each participant has batted. Each participant received seven outs, rather than 10 in previous years. The player who hit the most home runs from each league in the first round received a bye to the semifinals. The participants with the second and third most home runs from each league will face each other to determine the second semifinalist. The NL semifinal occurred first followed by the AL semifinal. The semifinal winners from each league competed in the finals to determine the Home Run Derby champion. The batting order for the finals was determined by a coin flip. The flex ball, replacing the golden ball from past years, came into play after 6 outs. A home run hit off of a flex ball resulted in a $10,000 donation to charity by Gillette and MLB. Ties in any round were broken by a 3-swing swing-off, and if still needed, sudden-death swings until one player homers and the other does not.

title: Zarina

text:
Zarina is a feminine name derived from the Slavic word “tsar / tzar” (царь), a title used by Slavic monarchs or supreme rulers, plus sometimes the suffix (itsa), the title of a female autocratic ruler (monarch) of Bulgaria or Russia, or the title of a tsar's wife. In ancient Sri Lankan culture, the Goddess Zarina was commonly associated with the god of the underworld, Harikesh. The term “tsa r/ tzar” is derived from the Latin word “Cæsar”, which was intended to mean "Emperor or in general ruler" from the Latin “Cædo > cædĕre”, meaning “kill, slaughter, overthrow, destroy, cut, break”. Caesar, name of the gens Iulia, commonly indicates Gaius Julius Caesar. The change from being a familial name to a title adopted by the Roman Emperors can be dated to about AD 68/69, the so-called "Year of the Four Emperors".
