title: Scania Citywide

text:
The Scania Citywide is a series of integrally-constructed low-floor and low-entry buses manufactured by Scania. It was unveiled in 2011 as the successor to the Scania OmniCity and OmniLink. It consists of two models: the Citywide LF is built on the Scania N-series chassis, whereas the Citywide LE rides on the Scania K-series chassis. They are exclusively available in mainland Europe, except in the UK and Ireland, where Scania chose to rely on Alexander Dennis, Irizar and other local bodywork manufacturers instead. It is assembled at Scania's plant in Słupsk, Poland. It is part of Scania's complete range of buses (alongside the flagship Touring and the inter-capacity alternative Interlink). The series shares some front styling details with the Touring coach, while most of the design is a simple facelift from its prior models.

Scania Citywide LF
The Scania Citywide LF (CN) is a transverse-engined low-floor city bus based on the Scania N-series chassis. It replaces the Scania OmniCity in 2011. This bus is entirely low-floor and is intended for intense inner-city services. It is available as a two-axle (CN UB4x2EB) between 10.9 and 12.0 metres and as an articulated bus (CN UA6x2/2EB) at 18.0 metres, known as the Scania Citywide LFA.

The Scania Citywide LFDD (CN UD4x2EB) is a double-decker bus demonstrator based on the Citywide LF, which was placed an order for one from Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) in 2014, with the first being delivered in February 2015. The LFDD utilizes the newly-developed 6.7-litre DC07 engine, which is a rebranded Cummins ISB 6.7 and a ZF Ecolife 6AP1402B Gearbox.

Scania Citywide LE

The Scania Citywide LE (CK) is a longitudinally-engined low-entry city and intercity bus. It is based on the Scania K-series chassis, and was introduced in 2011 to replace the Scania OmniLink. This bus is not entirely low floor, although it does contain a low entrance and low floor area at the front of the bus; it is intended for quieter intercity or suburban routes. It is available as a two- (CK UB4x2LB) or tri-axle (CK UB6x2*4LB) between 12.0 and 14.8 metres, and as an articulated bus (CK UA6x2/2LB) at 18.1 metres, known as the Scania Citywide LEA.

In 2013, Scania started testing the Citywide LE as a diesel-electric hybrid-powered bus, and in 2014 both the 12.0-metre two-axle and the 14.8-metre tri-axle were introduced in diesel-electric hybrid-powered versions.

A Suburban version of the Citywide LE is also available from 2017, known as the Scania Citywide LE Suburban.

For the Nordic markets, Scania released in 2014 an in-house competitor to the Citywide LE with the Scania OmniExpress 3.20 LE. An interesting design is that the Citywide LE Hybrid has a swooping roofline in the front and the rear it is a rear roof spoiler.

Second Generation (2019–)
The second generation Citywide was unveiled to the public on 17 October 2019.  It features a seven-inch semi digital instrument cluster as well as a new steering wheel with audio controls similar to its found in modern trucks. The new Citywide LF features a side-mounted longitudinal engine instead of transverse engine.

In addition to the internal combustion engine, a battery electric version (Citywide BEV) is also available for the first time.

title: Eagle's Perch

text:
The Eagle's Perch was an American helicopter that was designed by the Nolan brothers and produced by Eagle's Perch Inc. of Carrollton, Virginia. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

Design and development
The design was intended to be a simplified helicopter. Constructed by two brothers with no prior aeronautical experience or skills it employed a unique coaxial, counter-rotating, fixed pitch rotor system with no collective control, but employed a rudder. To account for the fact that the aircraft could not autorotate after a power failure, it was equipped with two engines and could hover on either one. A ballistic parachute was optional.

The Eagle's Perch was designed to comply with the US Experimental - Amateur-built aircraft rules. The aircraft had a standard empty weight of . It featured two coaxial main rotors, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, skid-type landing gear and two twin-cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition  Hirth 2706 engines.

The aircraft fuselage was made from welded steel tubing. Its  diameter two-bladed rotors were of a fixed pitch design. The aircraft had an empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of . With full fuel of  the payload for pilot and baggage was .

The manufacturer estimated the construction time from the supplied kit to be 240 hours.

The design was later developed into the Phoenix Skyblazer.

Operational history
The design won Grand Champion Helicopter at the Popular Rotorcraft Association convention in 1994.

By July 2014 no examples remained registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration and it is unlikely any exist today, although one, the prototype, had been registered at one time.

title: A Summer Bird-Cage

text:
A Summer Bird-Cage is the 1963 debut novel by Margaret Drabble published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. The title of the novel is taken from a quotation from the play The White Devil by John Webster:

‘"Tis just like a summer bird-cage in a garden: the birds that are without despair to get in, and the birds within despair and are in a consumption for fear they shall never get out."

Content
The novel centres on two characters who are sisters, Sarah and Louise. At the beginning of the story Sarah (who has recently graduated from Oxford University) has returned from Paris in order to be a bridesmaid at the wedding of Louise to the wealthy novelist Stephen Halifax. Sarah is at a transitional stage in her life and is not sure what she wants to do after her recent university degree. She is in a state of limbo, waiting for the man that she is in love with (Francis, a historian) to return from Harvard. The action pivots on the tensions between the two sisters, written from the perspective of Sarah who believes that Halifax is arrogant (an arrogance shared by her sister, in her view, which leads to profound friction between them). To complicate the picture, it becomes clear to Sarah during the course of the novel that Louise is having an affair with actor John Connell. The friction between the sisters leads, eventually, to Sarah confronting Louise about the state of her life and attitudes to the world and other people. The book does not involve an enormous amount of action in terms of plot. The focus is rather upon an exploration of the two women's characters and personalities and the way in which they affect each other.

title: WaterCar

text:
WaterCar is an American company that specializes in the manufacture and development of luxury amphibious vehicles. Based in Southern California, the company was founded by Dave March in 1999 when he was inspired by the Amphicar of the 1960s. March claims he originally had no plans to market an amphibious vehicle — just merely to build one. In 2013, the company released its first commercial vehicle, the Panther, which holds a top speed of  on land and  on water. The company holds 27 amphibious related patents as well as the Guinness World Record for the fastest amphibious vehicle. WaterCar vehicles are designed and manufactured at Fountain Valley BodyWorks, an  collision repair auto body shop in Southern California, owned and operated by March.

History
Between 1999 and 2010, WaterCar developed three amphibious prototypes. One of these prototypes was the Python. Powered by a  Chevrolet Corvette engine, it reached land speeds of , and water speeds of , setting a Guinness World Record in 2010. Due to the high cost of vehicle production, the Python was never developed past the prototype phase.

In 2011, March began developing a more reliable amphibious vehicle using technology from the Python and other prototypes. In June 2013, he released the Panther, the first commercial vehicle developed by WaterCar. Since its release, WaterCar has been popular in the Middle East, selling to the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, with six additional vehicles being sold to the Crown Prince of Dubai and others sold to tech enthusiasts and residents of Silicon Valley. The Python's price is US$140,000 (initially US$135,000).

In January 2014, founder March was the first person to drive an amphibious vehicle from Newport Harbor to Catalina Island, a trip of over . The trip took 70 minutes, and he completed the drive on an estimated  of gasoline, a little more than half the total capacity of the Water Car's 25 gallon tank.

March was not the first to drive an amphibious car to an island; the first was Howard Singer of La Jolla who on Aug. 19, 1978, became the first person to drive an amphibious car from Long Beach to Santa Catalina Island. He left from the Long Beach Navy Pier at 7:30 a.m. driving an "Amphicar" and arrived at Avalon at about 3:15 p.m.

Technology
The WaterCar Panther is powered with a rear-mounted Honda Acura 3.7-liter engine, and a "Panther"-Jet boat drive engine. The vehicle can transition from land to sea and vice versa in under fifteen seconds, and has a hydraulic off-road suspension that retracts the wheels in less than eight seconds. This allows the Panther to drive into the water at 15 mph. Once in the water, the driver puts the vehicle in neutral, pulls a handle that switches the transfer case over to jet drive, pushes a lever to hydraulically lift the wheels and tires out of the water, and begins operating the vehicle just like a boat. The process is reversed when going from water to land.

Each vehicle employs a lightweight chassis made of chromoly steel (an alloy of chromium and molybdenum) that fits into a fiberglass hull. This development model allows for the light weight needed for an amphibious vehicle. The interior is made of road suspension seats as well as US Coast Guard approved closed-cell Styrofoam.

In the media
In 2014, the WaterCar Panther was featured in ABC's reality television series The Bachelor (S18, E06). The WaterCar has also been featured in USA Network's television series Royal Pains (S05, E15 • A Trismus Story) and on the CNBC episode Just Add Water (S02, E11 • Nov. 30, 2016) of Jay Leno's Garage.

title: Dirtymouth

text:
Dirtymouth is a 1970 American biographic film of the comic Lenny Bruce, starring Bernie Travis and written and directed by Herbert S. Altman.

After Altman completed the film, it was the subject of a lawsuit by film producer Marvin Worth.  Worth had obtained the film rights in two books written by Bruce, and he alleged that Altman's movie infringed the copyrights in those books. The court agreed that some of the content in the film was copyright infringement, and issued a preliminary injunction.  Travis had also starred as Bruce in a stage production at The Village Gate in Greenwich Village; that production was also the subject of a copyright lawsuit by the executors of Bruce's estate.

The film eventually received some small critical attention before being eclipsed by Worth's much more famous 1974 film production Lenny, directed by Bob Fosse and starring Dustin Hoffman.

title: Badr ul-Alam Syarif Hasyim Jamaluddin

text:
Badr ul-Alam Syarif Hasyim Jamaluddin (died 1702 or after 1717) was the eighteenth Sulṭān of Acèh Darussalam in northern Sumatra. His brief reign (1699–1702) marked a transition to more unsettled conditions in Aceh, as persons not belonging to the old sultan's family tried to rule the kingdom with limited success.

Dynastic change

Aceh was ruled by four sultanas in succession in 1641–1699.  Towards the end of the seventeenth century the moderate element among the literati made way for a more orthodox Islamic vogue which demanded the return of a male ruler.  A fatwa, ostensibly issued in Mecca, arrived in 1699 and deemed female rule incompatible with the sharia.  Badr ul-Alam Syarif Hasyim, an Arab of sayyid descent, then replaced the current sultana Zainatuddin Kamalat Syah and became the eighteenth Sulṭān of Acèh Darussalam.  It is sometimes speculated that he was married to his predecessor  According to the findings of D. Crecelius and E.A. Beardow, he was the son of Syarif Ibrahim Jamal ul-Lail, and the brother of Badr ul-Alam Zainul Abidin Jamal ul-Lail, Syarifah Salmah, Perkasa Alam Syarif Lamtui, and Sulaiman Jamal ul-Lail.  Of these, Badr ul-Alam Zainul Abidin Jamal ul-Lail may have ruled Aceh for seven months in 1699, before the enthronement of Badr ul-Alam.

Problems of acceptance

The Dutch East India Company, which was established on Sumatra's west coast, perceived the new sultan as a potential threat. The garrison in the important port Barus was strengthened in 1700 since "the government is again said to be in the hands of a king with fiery character". Aceh was visited by the Briton Alexander Hamilton in May 1702. Hamilton noted that the foreignness and ostensibly poor governance of Badr ul-Alam evoked the hostility of some orang kayas (grandees of the kingdom). Thus he imposed a harbour fee on the English ships and therefore estranged the English East India Company and at length people at the capital. There were demonstrations outside the palace where people demanded restitution of the former English privileges - otherwise they would place a new queen regnant or sultana on the throne. Some orang kayas contacted a nephew of Kamalat Syah who led a private life in Pidie and invited him to march on the capital to claim the throne. From Hamilton's account it is not known how the enterprise ended.

According to the chronicles Badr ul-Alam suffered from a sickness (apparently poliomyelitis) which prevented him from performing the salat (prayers). He therefore voluntarily abdicated his throne in 1702. He then withdrew to Tanjong, a village close to the capital but died after 14 days. Some sources date his abdication in 1709. His successor was a brother, Perkasa Alam Syarif Lamtui. It is possible that the details in the chronicles about his demise are incorrect, for in 1717 the Dutch provided a travel pass to an ex-sultan of Aceh named Sayyid Hasyim Darussalam who was performing the pilgrimage to Mecca.

title: Pom Klementieff

text:
Pom Alexandra Klementieff (; born 3 May 1986) is a French actress. She is best known for playing Mantis in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and Paris in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and an untitled eighth film.

Early life
Klementieff was born in Quebec City, Canada, to a Korean mother, Yu Ri Park, and Russian-French father Alexis Klementieff,World Guide to Foreign Services, vol. 1, World Guides Internationale Publikationen, 1986, p. 261 who was working there as a consul with the government of France. Her grandfather was Russian painter Eugene Klementieff (1901 – c.1985).

Her parents chose the name "Pom" because it is similar in pronunciation to the Korean words for both "spring" () and "tiger" ().

She is a French citizen but does not have Canadian citizenship because jus soli does not apply to children of diplomats. Klementieff lived in Canada for one year before her family began traveling extensively due to her father's job. They lived in Japan and Ivory Coast before settling in France.

Klementieff's father died of cancer when she was five, and her mother had schizophrenia and was unable to care for children, so Klementieff was raised by her paternal uncle and aunt. Her uncle, whom she described as "like [her] second father", died on her 18th birthday, and her older brother Namou died by suicide seven years later, on her 25th birthday. Klementieff briefly studied law in an undergraduate capacity after her uncle's death to appease her aunt, but did not find it appealing. She also worked as a waitress and saleswoman in France. She started acting at age 19 at the Cours Florent drama school in Paris. A few months into her education, she won a theater competition and two years of free classes with the school's top teachers.

Career
2007–2012: Early career

Klementieff's first professional acting job was the French independent film Après lui (2007), portraying the stepdaughter of the protagonist played by Catherine Deneuve. Filming for her scenes took three days. In one scene, Klementieff was supposed to push someone down a set of stairs but accidentally fell down the stairs herself, and director Gaël Morel kept that shot in the final film.

Her first leading role was in Loup (2009), a French film about a tribe of reindeer herders in the Siberian mountains. During filming, Klementieff stayed in a camp, hours from the nearest village, where temperatures dropped well below zero. She befriended nomads who lived there, worked with real wolves, rode reindeer, and swam with a horse in a lake.

2013–present: Breakthrough
Klementieff made her Hollywood debut in Spike Lee's Oldboy (2013), a remake of the South Korean film of the same name. She portrayed Haeng-bok, the bodyguard of the antagonist played by Sharlto Copley. A fan of the original film, Klementieff heard about the part through Roy Lee, a producer with the remake, and took boxing lessons after learning the role involved martial arts. After showcasing her boxing skills during her audition, Lee asked her to go home and come back wearing a more feminine outfit and make-up, like her character in the film. She contributed some of her own clothes to the character's wardrobe, and trained three hours a day for two months for an on-screen fight with star Josh Brolin. Klementieff herself came up with the name Haeng-bok, Korean for "happiness", after Lee asked her to research possible names for the character.

Klementieff moved to Los Angeles after Oldboy was filmed and began pursuing more Hollywood auditions. She continued taekwondo after the film, and has a purple belt as of the summer of 2014. Her next acting role was the film Hacker's Game (2015), in which she plays a hacker she compared to Lisbeth Salander from the novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Klementieff used her boxing skills again in the film, and due to the movie's low budget, she had to do her own make-up and choose her own wardrobe. It was her idea to dye her hair purple for the role, to which the directors first objected but later acquiesced. In 2017, she appeared in the romance drama Newness and the black comedy-drama Ingrid Goes West.

Klementieff received worldwide recognition when she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Mantis, appearing in the films Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019). In 2019, she appeared in an episode of the Netflix science fiction anthology series Black Mirror, the thriller film Uncut Gems, and had voice roles in the animated supernatural comedy film The Addams Family. In 2020, she had a recurring role as Martel in the HBO science fiction series Westworld.

In 2023 she reprised her role as Mantis in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and appeared as the enigmatic assassin Paris in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One''. She will reprise her role in the film's upcoming sequel in 2025.

text:
Zero-rating is the practice of providing Internet access without financial cost under certain conditions, such as by permitting access to only certain websites or by subsidizing the service with advertising or by exempting certain websites from the data allowance.

Commentators discussing zero-rating present it often in the context of net neutrality. While most sources report that use of zero-rating is contrary to the principle of net neutrality, there are mixed opinions among advocates of net neutrality about the extent to which people can benefit from zero-rating programs while retaining net neutrality protections. Supporters of zero-rating argue that it enables consumers to make choices to access more data and leads to more people using online services, but critics believe zero-rating exploits the poor, creates opportunities for censorship, and disrupts the free market.

Existing programs
Internet services like Facebook, Wikipedia and Google have built special programs to use zero-rating as means to provide their service more broadly into developing markets. The benefit for these new customers, who will mostly have to rely on mobile networks to connect to the Internet, would be a subsidised access to services from these service providers. The results of these efforts have been mixed, with adoption in a number of markets, sometimes overestimated expectations and perceived lack of benefits for mobile network operators. In Chile, the national telecom regulator ruled that this practice violated net neutrality laws and had to end by June 1, 2014. The Federal Communications Commission did not ban zero-rating programs, but it "acknowledged that they could violate the spirit of net neutrality".

Since June 2014, U.S. mobile provider T-Mobile US has offered zero-rated access to participating music streaming services to its mobile internet customers. T-Mobile launched its plan called “Music Freedom” which would exempt users of T-Mobile from having to pay premium prices for access to music content; additionally, this content access would not count as part of an individual's cap, which is the limit they can reach before they are charged for data. In November 2015, T-Mobile US expanded zero-rated access to video streaming services.

In January 2016, Verizon joined AT&T by creating its own sponsored data program, FreeBee Data, which "enables content providers to pay a wireless provider to allow its subscribers to engage with or consume a piece of content without it counting against the customers' monthly allotments". Sponsored data on behalf of content providers through AT&T or Verizon covers the costs for the viewers and attracts more consumers. Some people have characterized this as ISPs having created a toll-free service for online users.

Advocates of net neutrality state that sponsored data "allows well-heeled content providers to pay for placement to the disadvantage of smaller companies that can't afford the same luxury". Verizon's FreeBee Data program which allows its own customers to access certain content, like ESPN and its video streaming service, for free along with any other relevant app access and the data will not count against their monthly caps. In this way, big ISPs discriminate against data and content from those who do not pay to have their content included in the FreeBee or other sponsored programs.

Similarly, mobile network operators are also able to use the underlying classification technology like deep packet inspection to redirect enterprise-related data charges for employees using their private tablets or smartphones to their employer. This has the benefit of Toll-free / zero-rated applications allowing employees to participate in bring your own device (BYOD) programs.

In education, and as a response to the closure of school buildings due to the COVID-19 pandemics, Colombian government has created a learning resources platform for mobile phone (movil.colombiaaprende) and "published a decree requesting mobile operators to provide zero-rating conditions for access to specific education services and websites (both voice and data). The government reached an agreement with mobile and Internet operators ensuring all inhabitants have access to educational content and guidelines, in particular lower income households, with a cap at about USD 20."

Reception and impact

Zero-rating certain services, fast lanes and sponsored data have been criticised as anti-competitive and limiting open markets. It enables internet providers to gain a significant advantage in the promotion of in-house services over competing independent companies, especially in data-heavy markets like video-streaming. A service provider, who is offering unlimited access to their service, will naturally seem more favourable to consumers over one where usage is limited. If the first provider is the one restricting access, they are creating a considerable advantage for themselves over their competition, thereby restricting the freedom of the market. As many new internet and content services are launched targeting primarily mobile usage, and further adoption of internet connectivity globally (including broadband in rural areas of developed countries) relies heavily on mobile, zero-rating has also been regarded as a threat to the open internet, which is typically available via fixed line networks with unlimited usage tariffs or flat rates. Facebook and the Wikimedia Foundation have been specifically criticized for their zero-rating programs, to further strengthen incumbent mobile network operators and limit consumer rights to an open internet.

The United States has not officially made a decision on the regulation of zero-rating providers; instead, adopting a “wait-and-see” approach to the matter. The FCC has therefore elected to examine on a case-by-case basis under a “general conduct rule” that “prohibits unreasonable interference with end users’ ability to select content and content providers’ ability to reach end users”. Days before the Trump inauguration, the Obama Administration FCC issued a report expressing concerns with T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T and their sponsored data programs. The FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau found issues in wireless broadband services that vertically integrate their own affiliated programming, along with service providers allowing unaffiliated content providers to sponsor data. The report concluded that vertically affiliated broadband providers that zero-rate affiliated content most likely violate the general conduct rule.

In the EU, specific cases such as those of Portugal were under scrutiny by national and EU regulators as of 2017, following the BEREC regulation on net neutrality.

In addition to commercial interests, governments with a cultural agenda may support zero-rating for local content.

Technical Infeasibility

Developments in data protocols have made many Zero-rating practices ineffective, depending on how the website is accessed. For example, if HTTPS is used, it is impossible for an ISP to inject additional advertisements into the web page. If the user is using a VPN, it would be impossible for the ISP to restrict what sites the user has access to, as only the VPN provider can see the user's activity.

title: Sarah Benedict House

text:
The Sarah Benedict House is located at 3751 Prospect Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.  The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is part of the Upper Prospect Avenue Historic District.

The brick Queen Anne-style house features asymmetrical massing, a hip roof, detailed masonry, irregular slate shingling and a tiled frieze between the first and second stories. The identity of the home's architect is unknown.

The house was built in 1883 for Sarah Rathbone Benedict, widow of Cleveland Herald publisher George A. Benedict. Widowed in 1876, Sarah Benedict lived in the home from its construction until shortly before her death in 1902 at the age of 87.

After her death, the Benedict House existed for many years as a single-family residence. As the Upper Prospect neighborhood transitioned during the early 20th century to a center for Cleveland's automobile retail sales and other commercial uses, the property served as a boarding house, office building and for light manufacturing. It later became "The Library," a popular bar for students at nearby Cleveland State University.

The house was renovated by the Cleveland Restoration Society to allow for its use by the Society as its headquarters and for office space.  The house can also be rented for special occasions.

Tours of the building's interior are by appointment only and are free to CRS members.

title: Tri-State League (ice hockey)

text:
The Tri-State League was a NCAA Division I ice hockey-only conference.  The league was the first attempt at creating a conference for hockey programs and, while it did not succeed in its goals, succeeding conferences were able to learn from the mistakes made and flaws in its design to form effective and long-lasting divisions.

History
Formed in 1950 by the six colleges, all located in the Northeast, the Tri-State League was named for the three states represented by the schools: Massachusetts with Williams, New York with Clarkson, Colgate, Rensselaer and St. Lawrence and Vermont with Middlebury. In the first season each school played one another once, resulting in five conference games for every team. After the 1950–51 season, however, Colgate left the conference, leaving the league with only five member teams. The following year seven western teams formed the MCHL and while it wasn't a direct rival to the Tri-State League it had several advantages over its eastern counterpart. For one the MCHL contained the majority of the regional schools playing D-I ice hockey so its league champion would almost assuredly be invited to the NCAA tournament whereas the Eastern region had more than 30 schools playing at the top level, giving the Tri-State League a much smaller footprint. Its influence grew even smaller after the second season when Williams left the conference, not only reducing its numbers to four, but no longer making the conference's title geographically correct.

It wasn't all bad news for the Tri-State League, however, as St. Lawrence was invited to play in the 1952 tournament. In fact, the Tri-State League would send a representative to the tournament each year from 1952 through 1964. With the success of the three remaining New York schools, Middlebury was left far behind in the standings, winning only two games over a seven-year stretch before leaving the conference after 1958–59. With only three teams as members the Tri-State League was a conference in name only and became completely superfluous in 1961 when the 28-team mega conference, ECAC Hockey, was formed including all three teams still in the Tri-State League.

The Tri-State League continued to award a trophy at the conclusion of the regular season for several years, even after changing its name to the ICAC (Independent College Athletic Conference), but even that was abandoned after 1971–72. Since joining ECAC Hockey in 1961, Clarkson, Rensselaer and St. Lawrence have remained in the conference and were reunited with Colgate the same year. While both Middlebury and Williams were inaugural members of the ECAC, both were dropped down to Division III after the conference split in 1964 and became founding members of the NESCAC in 1971 where they still reside (as of 2014).

Firsts
Aside from being the first official conference in the college hockey ranks, the Tri-State League also produced the first postseason conference game ever played when Clarkson and Middlebury tied at the end of the first season and were matched in a tie-breaker to determine the league champion. There wouldn't be another conference playoff game until the 1960 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. When Rensselaer won the national title in 1954 it became only the second eastern school to do so, and the first to win as part of a conference (Boston College had won in 1949 as an independent).

Hugo Hagen (1818 – 14 April 1871, Berlin) was a German sculptor.

Life

He was a student of Ludwig Wilhelm Wichmann. From 1842 to 1857, he was an assistant in the studios of Christian Daniel Rauch, where he contributed to creating the statues of Frederick the Great on the Unter den Linden, Albrecht Thaer at Humboldt University and Immanuel Kant in Königsberg. In 1865, he became the Director of the "Rauch-Museum". After the early death of Hermann Schievelbein, he helped complete the monument to Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom Stein. He also assisted Rudolf Siemering to complete Johann Gottfried Schadow's "Münzfrieses" (Coin Friezes) on the Old Berlin Mint.

Ironically, many of his own works were left incomplete when he died.

Selected major works
 1860/1861: Group, "Grace with Pegasus", on the roof of the Altes Museum
 1862: Monument for Friedrich Wilhelm, Count Brandenburg on the Leipziger Platz
 1866/1869: Johann Gottfried Schadow Monument on the porch of the Altes Museum
 1866/1869: Powerscourt Estate, County Wicklow, Ireland. Two winged horses for the "Triton Lake" and allegorical figures of "Fame" and "Victory", after designs by Rauch.
 1866: "Wrangelbrunnen" (fountain), in honor of Field Marshal Friedrich von Wrangel. The fountain wasn't completed and installed until 1877. Originally on the Kemperplatz, it is now at the corner of Urbanstraße and Grimmstraße in Berlin-Kreuzberg.

Social Democratic Youth () is the youth organisation of the Social Democratic Party of Portugal and it is commonly known by its initials, JSD. Founded by Francisco Sá Carneiro, the JSD has become an essential basis of the PSD itself. Its activity is recognized in election campaigns, with a crucial position in terms of mobilization and as a "laboratory of ideas of the party". While defending the values affirmed by the Social Democratic Party, the JSD is a structure with its own identity and, therefore, works in an autonomous manner in respect to the party.

Nowadays, the JSD has mainly based his political activity in areas such as Education, Entrepreneurship, Employment, Housing, Environment, Addiction and Childhood Obesity. In addition to this, the JSD defends a constitutional review of the Portuguese Constitution, and advocates European integration, employment, culture and environment, generational issues in which the JSD focuses its intervention.

The Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (; abbr. HSGPC), also known as the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC), is an organization responsible for the upkeep of Sikh Gurdwara in Haryana, India. It was formally formed on 11 July 2014 by the bill was passed by Haryana Legislative Assembly. Before this the Gurdwaras of Haryana were officially under Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). HSGPC is headquartered at Kurukshetra.

On 20 September 2022, the Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwaras (Management) Act, 2014, paving the way for the formation of Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC)

History
The idea of a separate gurudwara management committee for Haryana was originally proposed by Didar Singh Nalvi and then he started this movement on 27 December 2000. HSGPC was registered as a society in Jan 2003 with members as following : Jagdish Singh Jhinda, Gurbhajan Singh Chahal, Didar Singh Kamboj, Balwinder Singh bajwa, Hakam Singh Arnauli, Iqbal Singh Waraich, Avtar Singh Chakku, Nawab Singh Virk(Singhra), Jarnail Singh Ajrana, Manjit Singh Bedi & Surjit Singh Bajwa. Thereafter Harbans Singh Dachar was appointed as Chief Patron and Tirlok Singh Mann as Patron. Committee then appointed Jagdish Singh Jhinda as President and Vice Presidents as Nawab Singh Virk(Singhra), Joga Singh (yamunanagar), Jarnail Singh Ajrana(Kurukshetra), Avtar Singh Chakku and Surjit Singh Dabwali along with Didar Singh Nalwi as General Secretary

Support
On this Captain Amrinder Singh states Separate SGPC was a political issue and it in no way amounted to meddling with the Sikh religious affairs. there are already separate committees for managing the Gurdwara affairs of Patna Saheb and Hazoor Saheb, Nanded. Why to deny same rights to the Haryana Sikhs  Delhi Sikhs have their own committee called Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee for maintaining all historical Gurdwaras in Delhi.

An SGPC Member who was elected on SAD(B) from Karnal, Bhupinder Singh Asandh stand in support of  demand for an independent gurdwara body. He said neither he is honored and nor the SGPC sought his suggestions for the management of Haryana gurdwaras. Other SGPC (Badal) members Harpal Singh and Machonda Amrik Singh Janetpur, both from Ambala, were also supporting the demand for separate body to manage Sikh shrines in Haryana. The chief of Sehajdhari Sikh Party P. S. Ranu handed a memorandum to chief minister for inclusion of Sehajdhari Sikhs in the proposed body.

Radical Sikh outfit Dal Khalsa and spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh welcomed the passage of HSGPC Bill and congratulated Haryana Sikhs for getting the right to manage their religious institutions.

The formation of separate committee is supported by Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.

Criticism and Opposition
The move is opposed by Parkash Singh Badal (then Chief Minister of Punjab - SAD/BJP) and  SGPC Head-Avtar Singh Makkad and called it a planning of Congress Party to divide Sikhs. Parkash Singh Badal cried and even threats to quit as CM of Punjab.

On 3 July 2014, Jathedar of Akal Takhat, Giani Gurbachan Singh appealed Haryana Sikh not to form another committee and forms a 10 Member committee to talk with Sikh leaders of Haryana who are struggling for creating another committee.

Excommunications of HSGPC officials
Akal Takhat, Sikh's highest temporal seat excommunicated Haryana finance minister Harmohinder Singh Chattha. Also two top officials of HSGPC, Jagdish Singh Jhinda and Didar Singh Nalwi. This decision is called politically motivated.

Criticism of Excommunications
Coordinator of American Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee said It's a matter of serious concern that Sikh's top institution is losing credibility all because Akal Takht Jathedar's independence is under question

Bhai Mohkam Singh, the convener of United Sikh Forum met Jathedar Gurbachan Singh on 17 July and demanded to take back decision.

Capturing of Haryana Gurdwaras by SAD and SGPC
On 17 July 2014, Amritsar Based SGPC, backed with Shiromani Akali Dal, also executed their battle planning which they fortified many Gurdwaras in Haryana. They deployed around 5-100 Armed persons in Gurdwaras. On 21 July, Haryana Government said that they will not forcibly take over Gurdwaras and will do peaceful march for the same. HSGPC leader Didar Nalvi criticized CM of Punjab for making Arab like situation where shia and SUnni are fighting with each other.

on 6 August, members of HSGPC made a forceful attempt to enter Gurdwara in Kurukshetra and police used water canons, tear gas shells and cane charge to disperse them. Several HSGMC members were injured and some vehicles too were also damaged as HSGMC members were chased away by police.

HSGPC leader claimed that the Gurdwaras which are vacated by SGPC has missing Cash and Gold. Also, huge cash was withdrawn from Bank accounts and no entries made in official books.

title: Lee Jae-yong

text:
Lee Jae-yong (; born 23 June 1968), known professionally in the West as Jay Y. Lee, is a South Korean business magnate who has been serving as the executive chairman of Samsung Electronics since October 2022. He is the only son of Lee Kun-hee and Hong Ra-hee. As of September 2021, Lee has an estimated net worth of US$11 billion, making him the fourth-wealthiest person in South Korea. In January 2021, Lee was sidelined from taking part in major Samsung business dealings after he resumed serving a prison sentence for his bribery and embezzlement convictions. He was pardoned in August 2022, before reinstating his position at Samsung.

In 2014, Lee was named the world's 35th most powerful person and the most powerful Korean by Forbes Magazine's List of The World's Most Powerful People along with his father, Lee Kun-hee.

Early life and education
Jae-yong was born in Seoul, South Korea to Lee Kun-hee and Hong Ra-hee. He attended Kyungbock High School. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in East Asian history from Seoul National University, and his Master of Business Administration degree from Keio University. He attended Harvard Business School for about five years in pursuit of a Doctor of Business Administration degree, but did not graduate. He is the cousin of CJ Group chairman Lee Jay-hyun and Shinsegae Group CEO Chung Yong-jin.

Lee is fluent in his native Korean, English, and Japanese.

Personal life
Lee has one son Lee Ji-ho (born 2000) and one daughter Lee Won-joo (born 2004) with his ex-wife Lim Se-ryung. Lim Se-ryung is the Vice Chairwoman of Daesang group. Lim Se-ryung filed for divorce from Lee Jae-yong in 2009. Lee enjoys golf and horse riding.

Career at Samsung
Jae-yong started working for Samsung in 1991. He began serving as Vice President of Strategic Planning and then as "Chief Customer Officer", a management position created exclusively for Lee. His prospects for future company leadership dimmed when his father Kun-hee stepped down as Chairman due to tax evasion. In December 2009, however, his succession prospects were revived when Lee became the chief operating officer of Samsung Electronics. Since December 2012, he has been vice chairman of Samsung. He is one of the main shareholders of Samsung's financial services subsidiary, owning 11 percent of Samsung SDS. He has been described as having "been groomed to take over the family firm".

Criminal conviction and pardon
In January 2017, special prosecutors of the South Korean prosecutor's office accused Lee of bribery, embezzlement and perjury. Lee was questioned for more than 22 hours. The charges came as part of a "vast influence-peddling case" that led to the impeachment of South Korean President Park Geun-hye the preceding month. Lee was charged with bribing President Park Geun-hye and her close friend Choi Soon-sil.

An initial request for an arrest warrant was rejected by the Seoul Central District Court in mid-January 2017. In February 2017, Lee was formally indicted, and arrested after the Seoul Central District Court issued a warrant. Lee was charged with "offering $38 million in bribes to four entities controlled by a friend of then-President Park Geun-hye, including a company in Germany set up to support equestrian training for the daughter of one of Park’s friends, Choi Soon-sil" and "Prosecutors alleged the bribes were offered in exchange for government help with a merger that strengthened Lee’s control over Samsung at a crucial time for organizing a smooth leadership transition after his father fell ill." After his arrest, Samsung admitted to making contributions to two nonprofit foundations allegedly controlled by Choi and her Germany-based firm but denied such contributions were related to the 2015 merger. A spokesman for Samsung said, "We will do our best to ensure that the truth is revealed in future court proceedings."

The case attracted the attention of the South Korean public; public opinion had turned against chaebols, whose influence on society angered many.

Lee was found guilty on each charge by a three-judge panel of Seoul Central District Court in August 2017 and was sentenced to five years in prison. (Prosecutors has sought a 12-year sentence.) In February 2018, the Seoul High Court reduced his prison sentence to 2.5 years, and suspended his prison sentence, leading to Lee's release after one year of detention. Subsequently, the Supreme Court of South Korea sent the case back to Seoul High Court, which held a retrial. In January 2021, Lee was sentenced to two years and six months in prison by Seoul High Court, which found him "guilty of bribery, embezzlement and concealment of criminal proceeds" worth about 8.6 billion Korean won (7.8 million U.S. dollars, £5.75 million British pounds), and found that Samsung's independent compliance committee, established in 2020, was not yet fully effective. Lee was returned to prison.

In mid-2021, the United States Chamber of Commerce, a lobbying group of American companies, joined Korean business groups to urge the president to pardon Lee, arguing that the billionaire executive can help strengthen U.S. President Joe Biden's efforts to end American dependence on computer chips produced overseas amid the global chip shortage. Lee was released on parole from the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang on 13 August 2021; the South Korean government argued that the release was in the national interest. His parole conditions included business restrictions for five years and requiring permission before travelling outside South Korea. Upon leaving prison, Lee apologized, bowing to reporters and saying: "I've caused much concern for the people. I deeply apologize. I am listening to the concerns, criticisms, worries, and high expectations for me. I will work hard."Ron Amadeo, Samsung's leader is out of jail, allowing US factory plans to move forward, Ars Technica (August 13, 2021).

In August 2022, President Yoon Suk-yeol granted a pardon to Lee, citing Samsung's importance to the economy; the pardon opened the door for Lee to take up leadership of the conglomerate.

title: Martha Graham Dance Company

text:
The Martha Graham Dance Company, founded by Martha Graham in 1926, is both the oldest dance company in the United States and the oldest integrated dance company. The company is critically acclaimed in the artistic world and has been recognized as "one of the great dance companies of the world" by the New York Times and as "one of the seven wonders of the artistic universe" by the Washington Post.

Many of the great 20th and 21st century modern dancers and choreographers began at the Martha Graham Dance Company including: Merce Cunningham, Erick Hawkins, Pearl Lang, Pascal Rioult, Miriam Pandor, Anna Sokolow, and Paul Taylor. The repertoire of 181 works also includes guest performances from Mikhail Baryshnikov, Claire Bloom, Margot Fonteyn, Liza Minnelli, Rudolf Nureyev, Maya Plisetskaya, and Kathleen Turner. Her style and technique, the Graham technique, is recognized in 50 countries.

Past

Location and inception

Graham began teaching in her studio at 66 Fifth Avenue, near 13th Street, and at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. Here she taught her special dance technique to the women who would become the first members of her dance company. They would practice new works for nine months and then give recitals in New York and abroad. During the years of 1938 and 1939, men joined the troupe. Later on, financial troubles would plague the company. At these times, Graham was supported by individual patrons. One of the contributors, Mrs. Wallace, made it possible for the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance find its current home at 316 East 63d Street.

Early works
Many of Graham's early works were austere. She designed her own costumes and neglected scenery. In 1930, she choreographed "Lamentation", a piece in which the dancer's expressed emotion is aided by the Graham's choice in fabric. There are two major themes present in Graham's work: Amerindian experience and Greek mythology. Her work "Primitive Mysteries", choreographed in 1931, was created after her visit to the American Southwest, and is a re-enactment of the ritual in honor of the Virgin Mary. It is set in three movements: the first movement is based around the birth of Jesus, the second Jesus' crucifixion, and the third Mary going to heaven.

Her work “Frontier” is the first piece she created with scenery: a fence and two ropes. It was a female solo that premiered in 1935 with music by Horst.

Her company was all female until she created her first male-female duet in 1938, “American Document”. In the movement entitled ‘Puritan Episode’ she danced with her future husband, Erick Hawkins. Hawkins became her lead male dancer for the company and her frequent dance partner. The two danced together in her most famous Americana piece “Appalachian Spring”. The piece premiered in 1944, set to music by Aaron Copeland.

After Graham's death

After Graham's death the company ran into financial and legal troubles. In her will, Graham left her legacy to Ron Protas giving him all rights to her choreography. His dispute with the Board of Directors came in the midst of financial troubles and talks of closing down the dance center. Protas responded by refusing to allow the company to perform Graham's works. This legal battle was fueled by the company's recent dry spell. Public funding had been cut for a few decades, but after Graham's death, private investors began holding out as well. The company performed on and off for the next decade. In 2000, the company canceled performances for the year and came close to bankruptcy. By 2004, the company began to perform again after two supreme court cases with Ron Protas, both of which the company won.

Present

Performances

The Martha Graham Dance Company continues to both perform Graham's works and create new ones based on the technique she developed. Early works are a part of the "long woolen period" and include works such as "Primitive Mysteries" and "El Penitente". Later, Graham turned to America for inspiration and created works such as "American Document", "American Provincials", "Appalachian Spring", "Letter to the World" and "Salem Shore". Later she turned to Hebrew and Greek mythology for "Cave of the Heart", "Night Journey", "Errand Into the Maze", "Judith", "The Witch of Endor", "Phaedra" and "Clytemnestra". Her later works reflected her retirement as they stopped including a main heroine and focused on more abstract concepts. All of these works are still included in the company's repertoire and are occasionally performed.

Current company

In 2005, Janet Eilber became Artistic Director and Denise Vale took the position of Senior Artistic Associate.
In 2015,

title: George Hillier

text:
George Alexander Hillier (1815–1866) was an English antiquarian.

Life
The eldest son of William Hillier, commander R.N., he was born at Kennington, and was educated at Place Street House, near Ryde, Isle of Wight. A bookseller and printer, he was declared bankrupt in July 1839.

In the later 1840s Hillier was undertaking antiquarian and family history researches, with access to the British Museum. In 1853 he was acting as a dealer in manuscripts, which he sold to the museum; then shortly the provenance and authenticity of the manuscripts came under suspicion. Frederic Madden broke off the relationship, but the potential scandal was hushed up. In this "Hillier affair", the evidence points to Hillier's having obtained access to Madden through his assistant Richard Sims, with genuine manuscripts from Mostyn Hall and Bridgewater House, Runcorn to sell, as Madden's investigation with John Payne Collier (much later shown to be a forger) quickly concluded.

The discovery of the Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Chessell Down in the Isle of Wight, and the excavation of the graves, was Hillier's significant contribution to archæology. Once more his good faith came into question, however, when artefacts for which he had agreed a sale with Lord Londesborough went to a pawnbroker.

Hillier died at Ryde on 1 April 1866, and was buried at Binstead.

Works
Hillier's works included:

 The Topography of the Isle of Wight. To which is appended, a Voyage round the Island, Ryde, 1850.
A Voyage Round the Isle of Wight, 1850.
A Day at Arundel; comprising the antiquities of the Castle, ecclesiastical associations, and neighbouring beauties, 1851 (2nd edition)
 A Narrative of the attempted Escapes of Charles the First from Carisbrook Castle, and of his detention in the Isle of Wight. Including the letters of the King to Colonel Titus, now first deciphered and printed from the originals, London 1852.
 The Sieges of Arundel Castle, by Sir Ralph Hopton and Sir William Waller, London 1854.
Result of the Excavations on Brighstone and Bowcombe Downs, Isle of Wight, August 1854, 1854.
 A Memorial of the Castle of Carisbrook, London 1855.
 The Stranger's Guide to the town of Reading, with a History of the Abbey, Reading, 1859.

A long-term project, a History and Antiquities of the Isle of Wight, was left incomplete. Hillier was also employed in illustrating Charles Warne's Dorsetshire, and travelled with the author to prepare the map.

title: Janika Fabrikant

text:
Janika Fabrikant (born 1934), is a French-Swiss painter of urban and industrial landscapes, who was born in Paris, France. She lives in Zürich, where her painting is prominent because of its special characteristic of  cognitive dissonance. Her style, based on Surrealism, expresses a marked discrepancy between visual reality and terror.

Career
From 1953-1955 Fabrikant studied painting  at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. In 1961 she  moved to Zurich, where she enrolled at the  Zurich University of the Arts and studied painting from 1982-1985.

Her artistic development was inspired by visits to the U.S.A. where she felt a closer affinity to the contemporary art movements compared  to Picasso and the Parisian avant garde, with which she had grown up. She was strongly influenced by Edward Hopper and  Milton Avery. In Detroit Fabrikant discovered her theme  which she rendered in her characteristic synthetic colours, removed from nature. In 2013, one of her installations, The Butterfly, was selected as a finalist in the Waste•smART creative competition, run by the European Environment Agency.

Style
To reach out to Fabrikant's visual language some critics have attempted to categorize her style as “Visionary Precisionism” or “Expressive Objectivity” But her work is more complex. Although her paintings certainly have an element of American Precisionism, her irony, her sense of paradox, the monumentalization of the banal shows Fabrikant's roots in  Pop art.

Since 1987 Fabrikant has participated in group exhibitions in Switzerland, France, the U.S.A. and one in China. Her work was selected to be showcased at the Exhibition 93, Union des Femmes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, decorateurs UFPS “Les Contemporaines” at the Grand Palais, in Paris (1993), and she was profiled by World's Women On-Line. Her work was  presented at the Fourth United Nation's World Conference on Women in Beijing, China (1995), organized by artist Muriel Magenta at Arizona State University, Tempe, U.S.A. One of her paintings was selected for the electronic Space Art archive stored at the MIR Space Station, as a result of her participation in the Ars ad Astra Exhibit, organized by the OURS Foundation.

Fabrikant's first solo exhibition was held in 1987. In total she has had 12 solo exhibitions, mainly in Paris and Zurich. Her work is not only in private collections, but several paintings were  acquired by the Bollag Galleries.  Since 2010 she is represented by the Galerie Alex Schlesinger in Zurich.

title: Zarqa al Yamama

text:
Zarqa al-Yamama () was a legendary blue-eyed woman from the Al-Yamama region who lived in the pre-Islamic Arabia. She belonged to the Jadīs tribe and was known for her exceptional intuition, sharp eyesight, and ability to predict events before they occurred.

Zarqa al-Yamama’s legend
According to the ancient tale, Zarqa's tribe relied on her powers in detecting enemies and defending their land; as she was believed to have the ability to see riders from the distance of one week. In hopes to evade Zarqa's gaze, enemies of her tribe decided to hide behind trees which they carried. Zarqa noticed what was going on and alerted her tribe that the trees were moving towards them and that they hid soldiers behind them. To her dismay, members of her tribe thought she was going mad and choose to ignore her warning. The troops of Hassan al-Himyari eventually reached her tribe and killed every man in the camp, then they tore out Zarqa's eyes and crucified her.
