title: Capel Colman

text:
Capel Colman is a parish in northeast Pembrokeshire, Wales, in the community of Boncath. Formerly in the Hundred of Cilgerran, Capel Colman is a small, rural parish of some  surrounded by the larger parishes of Cilgerran, Manordeifi, Clydau, Penrydd and Llanfihangel Penbedw. The parish is in the Manordeifi group in the Church in Wales Diocese of St David's.

The parish is named in some historical sources as Llangolman, but this is not to be confused with Llangolman, a village a few miles to the south of Capel Colman.

History
The recorded history of Capel Colman can be traced back at least to the 14th century, when it was a chapelry in the parish of Manordeifi. It was marked on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire. In 1594 it was a Crown property which was subsequently abandoned until it was re-endowed by the Anglican Church in the 18th century.

There was a parish school in Capel Colman: David Jones is listed as schoolmaster in 1737. The population of the parish in 1801 was 71, the majority of whom worked in agriculture.

In Liber ecclesiasticus, an 1835 report on the state of the established church, Capel Colman is described as a parish with a population of 130, valued at £72, patron Morgan Jones Esq.

In the mid-19th century about  of the parish were woodland with the rest split between arable land and pasture. Corn, butter and cheese were the principal produce. The Lord of the Manor in 1849 was Pryse Pryse.

Wilson's Gazeteer of 1872 described Capel Colman as a parish of 770 acres with a population of 157 living in 30 houses with Miss Jones of Cilwendeg the patron. By 1961 the population of the parish had risen to 171.

Church of St Colman
The church is dedicated to St Colman, an Irish saint of the 6th or 7th century; however, as there were several saints of the same name it is not clear which is referred to. The present building dates from around 1720, having previously been abandoned; it was later rebuilt and restored, and is now a listed building. The font is mediaeval. The church was rebuilt in 1837 for Morgan Jones of Cilwendeg but was reported as in need of repair in 1859. It was refurbished again in the 1890s.

Some sources describe St Colman as a chapel (hence the name of the parish), and some a church, and it may have been a chapel for Cilwendeg (see below) as it stands at the edge of Cilwendeg Park. It is referred to as a chapelry in tithe documents of the mid-18th century, and church appointments for 1771-2 are listed on the CCE database.

Extant parish records include Bishops Transcripts (1806–1878), baptisms (1813–1987), marriages (1770–1970) and burials (1824–1991), all held at the National Library of Wales. Capel Colman parish is in the benefice of the Manordeifi Group in the Church in Wales.

The parish was a joint perpetual curacy with the rector of Llanfihangel Penbedw from the 19th century. The Clergy List for 1841 notes that A. Brigstoke had been curate since 1833. In 1866 T Rogers was the incumbent, followed in 1888 by David Worthington, replacing David Lewis.

In 1878 a Harvest Thanksgiving Service was held in the church in the morning, and at Llanfihangel Penbedw in the afternoon with sermons and services in English and Welsh by clergy from several neighbouring parishes. All the clergy were invited to dinner by Mrs Lloyd of Kilrhue.

A major improvement in the church was made in 1895. The Western Mail reported:
"One of the very few remaining old churches of the upper portion of Pembrokeshire...Capel Colman, near Boncath, is being replaced by a new and handsome sacred edifice, which will be opened at the end of June. Since the appointment of the Rev. W.G. Phillips to the living of Capel Colman and Llanfihangel Penbedw, rapid strides have been made, until at the present time the number of communicants have reached 80. Mr Phillips has not only succeeded in raising a very handsome vicarage, but he has also taken in hand the restoration of his Parish Church with a like success, and in aid thereof a most successful and well-attended bazaar and open-air fete was held in the beautiful grounds of Cilwendeg...which was opened by Mrs Wodehouse (Pentre) in the presence of a large number of spectators."

In 1897 Rev. Morris James Marsden BA was appointed to the Perpetual Curacy of Capel Colman and Rectory of Llanfihangel Penbedw.

Cilwendeg House

Cilwendeg House, described as one of the most important mansions in Pembrokeshire, dates from the late 18th century and was built on the site of a former property dating back to the 1500s. It is a Grade-II listed building, along with other structures associated with it, either Grade-II or Grade-II*. The earliest recorded incumbents in the early 16th century were named Llewelyn, and in the early 17th century it was acquired by lawyer Jacob Morgan. In the 18th century it passed by marriage to the Jones family.

In 1780 the house was rebuilt by Morgan Jones senior.

Lewis's Topographical Dictionary (1849) describes Cilwendeg as:
"...an elegant mansion, erected within the last seventy years, is ornamented with a receding portico in good taste, and occupies the centre of an extensive demesne, beautifully laid out in plantations and pleasure-grounds, to which are entrances by two handsome lodges, more recently built; the lawn in front of the house embraces a view of some of the finest scenery in the county, including the luxuriant woods around Fynnonau."

The gardens are listed at Grade II* on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. One of the features is the Grade II* listed Shell House built in the late 1820s which was restored with the support of local residents and the Temple Trust in 2004. A more detailed description of the house and extensive array of outbuildings is given in the 2004 Buildings of Wales volume Pembrokeshire.

The 21 bedroom mansion was a care home from 1952 to 2010. Cilwendeg Park is the venue for Teifi Valley Motor Club's annual Rali Cilwendeg, and Cilwendeg Farm hosted the 2013 Urdd Eisteddfod. The estate was sold into private ownership in 2015, and the house has undergone a restoration for opening in 2019 as a residential and event venue.

title: Nik & Eva Speakman

text:
Nik Speakman (born 7 December 1961) and Eva Speakman (born 30 April 1969), known collectively as The Speakmans, are British writers, therapists, life coaches and TV presenters.

Career
Nik Speakman started a finance company, Personal Money Management, aged 17 and was working as a success coach at the time of his and Eva's 2005 appearance in That's Rich, a Granada Television series focusing on entrepreneurs in the north west of England. Eva Speakman ran the Heavenly Bodies gym in Oldham, at the time of the show.

The Speakmans were subsequently hosts of a Living TV show, A Life Coach Less Ordinary, and in 2007 published a book, You Can Be Fantastic, Too!.

The couple are regular contributors on ITV's This Morning, hosting a segment about issues and anxiety disorders ranging from obsessive–compulsive disorder to fears, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder. In 2014, the pair briefly hosted a spin-off daytime ITV show of their own entitled The Speakmans.

The Speakmans have diplomas in an unspecified subject from Newcastle University, but have stated these are not related to their work.

The Speakmans use a technique known as Visual Schema Displacement Therapy (VSDT). A non-clinical study into the technique found that in the short-term it was more effective than an abbreviated version of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, the treatment which is recommended by the NHS for post-traumatic stress disorder. The study noted however that there was no clear explanation yet for why VSDT worked, and that a clinial trial would be necessary to ascertain whether the results were repeatable on a larger scale

The couple took part in series five of Celebrity Hunted in 2023.

Personal life
The Speakmans have lived in Littleborough near Rochdale in Greater Manchester since 2000.

title: Eurythecta robusta

text:
Eurythecta robusta is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the Department of Conservation.

Taxonomy

This species was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1877 and named Zelotherses robusta. Butler used specimens from James Hector that were collected on the Canterbury Plains. Later in the same publication, thinking he was describing a separate species, Butler also named this moth Steganoptycha negligens. In 1883 Edward Meyrick placed the species within the genus Eurythecta and synonymised both names given to the species by Butler. George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species in his 1928 publication The Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand. The lectotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London.

Description

Butler described the species as follows:

Meyrick noted that the species is extremely variable in colour.

Distribution
E. robusta is endemic to New Zealand. The species has been found in North, Mid and South Canterbury. The type locality of this species is likely Yaldhurst/West Melton in Christchurch and this area is now largely modified by the development of lifestyle blocks. The species has occurred at Kaitorete Spit, Gore Bay, Porters Pass, McLeans Island, and has surviving populations at Ashburton, and at the mouths of the Rangitata and Hinds rivers. Hudson stated that the species had been collected at Alexandra and Ben Lomond but there is some doubt as to whether this is the case.

Biology and behaviour
The females of E. robust are flightless. Adult males are on the wing from September until January.

Host plants and habitat
The larvae feed on low mat-forming herbs and turf plants. The favoured habitat of the species consists of open stony grounds or coastal grassland habitat.

Conservation status
This species has been classified as having the "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" conservation status under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. The main threat to this species is the destruction of its original habitat both by urban development and by farming practises.

title: Union Internationale des Avocats

text:
The Union Internationale des Avocats (UIA) or International Association of Lawyers is an international non-governmental organisation, created in 1927, that brings together more than 2,200 legal professionals from all over the world.

Historical Context

At the end of the 19th century, most European lawyers worked within autonomous and independent bar associations, each with their own customs.

However, after World War I"," European lawyers gradually realized the importance of helping certain bar associations modernise and build international contacts

In July 1925, lawyers from Belgium, France and Luxembourg initiated the "Union Internationale des Avocats" project, which came to fruition after two years of collaboration on July 8, 1927, in Charleroi, Belgium

The President of the Paris Bar Association, Georges Guillaumin, was nominated as the Association’s first president.

Once the UIA was formed, several bar associations sought its membership. After joining the Association, each new bar contributed unique efforts towards the UIA's dual objectives: adapting older bars to the new economic and international climate, and working with the League of Nations for the establishment of lasting peace.

Objectives
Today, the UIA defends the legal profession and encourages international networking, cooperation and understanding among lawyers with due regard to their cultural and professional diversity

Two objectives underlie the UIA's activities:
 Promote the essential principles of the legal profession and of the development of the legal field in all legal areas of specialisation at the international level.
 Contribute to the professional enrichment of its members via informational exchanges enabled by UIA commissions and working groups.

Missions
Today, the UIA is an association open to all lawyers from around the world, general or specialized, and brings together several thousand members and 200 bar associations, federations, and associations from 110 countries.

Multilingual and multicultural, the UIA is the only major international lawyers organisation to have eight official languages (French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Arabic, and Chinese) and to work in three working languages: French, English, and Spanish.

Moreover, the UIA has built more than 43 commissions composed of lawyers from jurisdictions spanning the globe. These lawyers practice in law firms, businesses, or public institutions. Each commission monitors the evolution occurring in a particular legal field (or practice) and determines how these changes will affect or be affected by other legal fields. All UIA commissions collaborate to keep each other informed of their respective developments and findings.

The UIA's commissions and working groups are divided into two principal fields: Business Law and General Practice and Human Rights

Business Law
The UIA commissions and working groups in business law focus on competition law, contracts, bankruptcy, corporate law, labour, intellectual property law, tax, banking, mergers and acquisitions, mediation, the international sale of goods, and foreign investments, among many other practice areas.

The UIA collaborates with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and notably presented a proposition for the definition of a "center of principal interests" (articles 2b) and 16-3 of the UNCITRAL law on international insolvency.

Every year, the UIA organises numerous seminars on international subjects. The UIA's events allow participants to meet colleagues, establish professional contacts and to debate questions about current events and controversial legal topics.

For its annual congress, the UIA creates working sessions for its commissions. These commissions produce reports accessible to all UIA members and organise congressional joint-sessions.

Each year, one or more principal themes are established for the Congress, inciting national and international legal and economic experts to engage in fruitful debate.

Protection of lawyers and Human Rights
The UIA intervenes throughout the world in favour of lawyers who are imprisoned or persecuted for practising their profession.

Since 1971, the UIA has benefited from its special consultative status in the United Nations and the European Council. Through the European Council, the UIA produced a policy recommendation concerning money laundering and the War on Terror.

The UIA is represented in the three main offices of the United Nations (New York, Geneva, and Vienna), where the UIA organises a summit for international bar association presidents. These summits permit bar association presidents to further the work initiated by the UN in diverse domains of international law.

Additionally, the UIA sits at the heart of the Consultative Councils of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
Finally, the UIA has followed the work of the preparatory commission of the International Criminal Court since its creation in 1998. The UIA also attends sessions of the Assembly of States Parties to the Statute of the Court. The UIA is a member of the executive council of the International Criminal Bar.

Charles Arnold "Arnie" Patterson (2 July 1928 – 9 March 2011) was a Canadian journalist, public relations professional and broadcaster.

Born in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, Patterson began his career after university as a reporter for The Chronicle Herald and Mail-Star newspapers in Halifax before moving to Toronto, joining the Toronto Telegram in 1954. Patterson was public relations director for Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation of Sydney, Nova Scotia on 23 October 1958 when a massive bump hit Colliery #2 in the coal mining town of Springhill, trapping 174 miners and killing 75. Patterson spent a month in the town, relaying information to the miners' families and to the 150 reporters who had made their way to Springhill to cover the disaster which had garnered worldwide attention. He was named Canada's public relations man of the year for his work during the tragedy.

In 1961 he applied to the Board of Broadcast Governors and was granted a radio station broadcasting licence. As Patterson Broadcasters, he launched easy listening CFDR at 790 on the AM dial on 5 December 1962 from the facility located at 66 Ochterloney Street. Later he was granted a broadcasting licence for CFRQ (Q104-FM), a rock radio station in 1983.

Patterson was inducted into the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame as a builder for his broadcasting/media work in 2008.

He was press secretary to Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau during the 1979 federal election, and was a general manager of Moosehead Breweries of Dartmouth.

Patterson died on 9 March 2011 at the age of 82.

title: Line 1 (Nizhny Novgorod Metro)

text:
Avtozavodskaya Line () is a line of the Nizhny Novgorod Metro and bears the abbreviation M1. The line opened in 1985 and crosses the city on a northwest-southeast axis. It comprises 11 stations and  of track and is thus about four times as long as the Line 2 (M2). The train station Moskovskaya is the second station, which does not cross, but only touches.

History
The construction of the line began on December 17, 1977. On this day, the first piles were driven into the base of the station Leninskaya. A commemorative sign was erected on the site of the construction (letter M in the tunnel). In September 1978 tunneling began from the station Leninskaya. July 13, 1984 in the pit of the station Moskovskaya collapsed walls. Two workers from the student brigade, who helped with the construction of the metro, died. There is a legend that the ghosts of dead students are still walking through tunnels and metro stations.

November 20, 1985, the grand opening of the Line 1 of the Gorky Metro was held. The launch complex of the first section included a 7.8 km long line with six stations: Moskovskaya, Chkalovskaya, Leninskaya, Zarechnaya, Dvigatel Revolyutsii and Proletarskaya; Depot and engineering building. In 1987, two more stations were opened - Avtozavodskaya and Komsomolskaya from the Proletarskaya station, and in 1989 - Kirovskaya and Park Kultury. November 4, 2012, the Gorkovskaya station of the Line 1 in the Upper City was opened.

title: Najm-e Sani

text:
Mir Yar-Ahmad Khuzani Isfahani (; died 1512), better known by his honorific title of Najm-e Sani ("The Second Star") was a Persian nobleman from the Khuzani family, who was the third person to serve as the vakil (vicegerent) of the Safavid Empire.

Biography
Najm was born during the 15th-century in Isfahan, and belonged to a prominent family which could trace its existence in Isfahan back to the 1440s. He had a brother named Mahmud Beg Khuzani. In 1509/10, Najm succeeded Amir Najm al-Din Mas'ud Gilani in the vakil office, and later in 1512, he, along with the Timurid prince Babur attacked the marauding Uzbeks, who had although suffered a heavy defeat in 1510 by Shah Ismail I, kept making incursions into the eastern Safavid province of Khorasan. It is disputed whether Najm led the attack without approval from Ismail I or not. After having crossed the Oxus River, Najm seized Qarshi, and had the city sacked and its inhabitants brutally massacred, which resulted in the death of over 1,500 men, and even children and women. A small Sayyid community was also massacred by the army of Najm, the prominent poet Maulana Binai being one of them.

Najm then attacked Ghazdewan, a town near Bukhara, but was unable to capture the town. Babur then advised Najm to retreat to Qarshi in order to wait for reinforcements. Najm, however, declined, which resulted in the mutiny of several Qizilbash chieftains who had been with him during his campaign. On November, a battle ensured at Ghazdewan between the Uzbeks and what was left of the army of Najm, which resulted in his defeat and capture. He was shortly executed, and was succeeded by Abd al-Baqi Yazdi in the vakil office.

title: SS Laura (1875)

text:
SS Laura was an 1875-built steamship owned by Peter Mærsk-Møller. Originally built as the Roll Call by J Readhead & Co in South Shields, she was renamed Ellen in 1881 and then acquired by Peter Mærsk-Møller in 1886 and renamed Laura. The ship was the first to bear the white seven pointed star emblem of the Maersk company, which was created by Peter Mærsk-Møller's son Arnold Peter Møller.

History

1875 to 1881
Roll Call was built in 1875 by John Readhead & Sons in South Shields, UK. Her iron hull was  long,  wide and had a draft of . She was fitted with a 40-HP steam engine which powered a screw propeller.

1881 to 1886
In 1881 the ship was acquired by O Prior & Co and renamed Ellen; she was registered in Copenhagen with J Svendsen serving as captain.

1886 to 1909
In 1886 the ship was acquired by Dampskibsselskabet Laura (Danish for "Laura Steamship Company") and captain Peter Mærsk-Møller in Svendborg. In 1898 Peter Mærsk-Møller handed captaincy of the Laura to one of his sons, Hans Nielsen Jeppesen Møller. Peter Mærsk-Møller would go on to found Dampskibsselskabet Svendborg (Danish for "Svendborg Steamship Company") in 1904 with another of his sons Arnold Peter Møller, which would eventually become the shipping conglomerate Mærsk.

Peter Mærsk Møller attached a blue banner with a white seven pointed star to both sides of the funnel of Laura when his wife recovered from illness. In a letter to his wife, P.M. Møller explained in October 1886, "The little star on the chimney is a memory of the night when I prayed for you and asked for a sign: If a star would appear in the gray and cloudy sky, it would mean that the Lord answers prayers." The same star later became the emblem of the Maersk Group.

1909 and beyond
In 1909 the ship was acquired by O Litzio of Catania and renamed Ignazio. By 1918 the ship was registered to A&E Halfon of Benghazi, Libya, and called Adele.

By World War II, Adele was under German control. On 27 August 1941, she was attacked and damaged by Soviet Navy motor torpedo boats and was beached to avoid sinking.

title: Plaistow Carhouse

text:
The Plaistow Carhouse was a historic streetcar carhouse at 27 Elm Street in Plaistow, New Hampshire.  Built in 1901, it was a surviving reminder of a short-lived trolley service that served the town until 1930. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and was demolished around 1985.

Description and history

The Plaistow Carhouse was located in Plaistow's central village, at the southeast corner of Elm Street and Palmer Avenue.  It was a brick structure, consisting of a large structure in which trolleys were serviced, and a smaller area originally used as an office and waiting room.  The service area measured , and was covered by a flat roof with a monitor section at the center.  The office was two stories in height, also with a flat roof, and was five bays wide and two deep.

The carhouse was built in 1901 for the Haverhill, Plaistow & Newton Street Railway, which introduced service that year between Plaistow, Haverhill, and Amesbury, Massachusetts.  This company was eventually consolidated into one providing service as far as New Hampshire's seacoast.  The company provided year-round service to the industrial employment centers of Haverhill and Amesbury, with seacoast service running mainly in the warmer months. It became part of the Massachusetts Northeastern Street Railway in 1913. Coastal service was abandoned in 1920, and altogether by 1930. The Plaistow carhouse was one of several to survive in southern New Hampshire, and was one of the least-altered. It was designed by the New York City firm Sheaff & Jaastad.

After trolley service was discontinued, the building was used as a storage facility by an amusement company. It was purchased by the town in 1979 with the intention of conversion into a public safety complex. The former carhouse was demolished around 1985, however, in favor of a new structure.

title: Isabel Maria de Alcântara, Duchess of Goiás

text:
Isabel Maria de Alcântara, 1st and only Duchess of Goiás (3 May 1824 – 3 November 1898), was a Brazilian noble, the recognized daughter, born out of wedlock, of Emperor Pedro I of Brazil and Domitila de Castro, Marchioness of Santos, having been baptized on 31 May 1824.

She was legitimized, or recognized as a daughter of the Emperor, on 24 May 1826, by a decree who granted her the noble title of Duchess of Goiás and the right to be treated as "Her Highness, The Duchess of Goiás", treatment that would be unexpected and even irregular by Iberian monarchical traditions. Thanks to this, an order was sent to the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Brazil to salute the girl. She was thus, in practice, treated as a Brazilian princess (although these honors did not confer on her any place in the line of succession) and was considered in the First Reign of the Empire of Brazil a kind of protector of the province of Goiás.

Life

Birth and baptism
Isabel Maria was born in the city of Rio de Janeiro on 3 May 1824 and was registered as the daughter of unknown parents who would have been abandoned at the home of Colonel João de Castro (in fact, her maternal grandfather). In this condition, she was baptized twenty-eight days later, on 31 May, in the church of São Francisco Xavier do Engenho Velho, having as her godparents the parents of the Marchioness of Santos. Just before her two-year birthday, Emperor Pedro I publicly acknowledged his paternity (being the only one among his illegitimate offspring who was officially legitimized by him) and demanded that the alteration of the child's baptism seat to prove it.

Recognition by the Emperor
By a decree dated 24 May 1826, Emperor Pedro I of Brazil granted Isabel Maria the title of "Duchess of Goiás", the style of Highness and the right to use the honorific "Dona" (Lady), being the first person to hold the ducal rank in the newly Empire of Brazil. The imperial decree caused a furor in the Brazilian court and the event was celebrated in a party with grand gala pomp, celebrated in the Palace of Caminho Novo, the imposing residence that the Emperor built for his mistress the Marchioness of Santos on the outskirts of the Palace of São Cristóvão.

On 6 June 1826 and before the entire court, Isabel Maria was officially introduced to the Empress consort Maria Leopoldina of Austria. From then on, the Duchess of Goiás began to attend the palace daily to be educated along with her paternal half-sisters, the legitimate daughters of the imperial couple.

Following the death of Empress Maria Leopoldina in December 1826, Isabel Maria was taken to live permanently with her father at the Palace of São Cristóvão in August 1827. In 1829 Emperor Pedro I remarried and definitively broke up his relationship with the Marchioness of Santos, who was sent back to the city of São Paulo. The new Empress consort, Amélie of Leuchtenberg, had already made it clear that she would not allow that the illegitimate daughter of her husband would remain in the Palace of São Cristóvão and even before her arrival in Brazil, Isabel Maria had to be transferred to the Palace of Praia Grande, the official imperial summer residence, in the city of Niterói, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Studies in Europe
Emperor Pedro I decided to send his legitimized daughter to be educated in Europe; on 25 November 1829, 5-years-old Isabel Maria embarked to France, taking a letter from secretary Francisco Gomes to the Viscount of Pedra Branca with the recommendation that her academical instruction should be "the best possible to make a nun, with the least possible expense, without however lacking the decency due to a daughter His Imperial Majesty, since she is a bastard". The voyage had numerous mishaps: a storm damaged the sails of the ship, its occupants were affected by an outbreak of fever and the little Duchess of Goiás began to complain of chest pain. In view of this situation, Paulo Martins de Almeida, responsible for the girl, ordered the commander of the ship to change the course to the city of Plymouth, where they landed on 8 February 1830. The cortege settled in London, while the Viscounts of Itabaiana and of Resende sought in the city of Paris one school suitable for the education of Isabel Maria.

Isabel Maria was finally taken to the city of Paris in France, and went on to study in the Ecole du Sacre-Coeur (now Musée Rodin), a boarding school where the daughters of the French Catholic aristocracy were educated. In Brazil, Emperor Pedro I received monthly medical reports and information on his daughter's development. The nuns responsible for the school reported that the Duchess of Goiás was extremely docile and, with the exception of the piano, had been doing well in all subjects. However, they also reported that it was given to mood swings when forced to study.

On 7 April 1831, Emperor Pedro I abdicated the throne of Brazil and left for Europe with his wife Amélia de Leuchtenberg and his eldest legitimate daughter Queen Maria II of Portugal. Shortly after a few months as a guest of King Louis Philippe I, the former Emperor and now Duke of Bragança acquired a home and Isabel Maria began to spend the weekends with her family. This time, Amélie of Leuchtenberg accepted her and ended up adopting her as a daughter. On January 25, 1832, the Duke of Bragança went to Portugal to retake the throne usurped by his younger brother Miguel, leaving Isabel Maria in the care of his wife and mother-in-law, Princess Augusta of Bavaria, Dowager Duchess of Leuchtenberg. Soon after the constitutional forces conquered Lisbon, the Duke of Bragança sent his brother-in-law, the Marquis of Loulé, to Paris to bring his wife and daughter Queen Maria II for Portuguese territory. The Duchess of Goiás, on that occasion, returned to the boarding school.

The Duke of Bragança died on 24 September 1834 and the task of raise Isabel Maria was assumed by his widow and her mother; in his will, the Duke gave his daughter a share of his estate. The Duchess of Goiás had been separated from the Marchioness of Santos at such a young age that she had no recollection of her biological mother and therefore she had always considered Amélie of Leuchtenberg and Dowager Duchess Augusta of Leuchtenberg as her natural mother and grandmother. In 1839, under the tutelage of the Marquis of Resende, Isabel Maria went to Munich and joined the Royal Institute of Young Women to complete her studies. In 1841, Amélie of Leuchtenberg sent news of her progress to her stepson, Emperor Pedro II: "Everyone is very happy with Isabel Maria at the institute, and my mother wrote that she grows and becomes more beautiful every day".

Marriage
At that time, Amélie of Leuchtenberg started looking for a suitable husband for her stepdaughter. Although she received a considerable inheritance from her father, Isabel Maria's dowry was provided by her siblings: Emperor Pedro II of Brazil, Queen Maria II of Portugal and by her own stepmother, who personally took care of her wedding trousseau.

In 1842, the Duchess of Bragança informed the Emperor of Brazil that she had arranged for the Duchess of Goiás to marry Ernst Joseph Johann Fischler von Treuberg, 2nd Count of Treuberg and Baron of Holzen, son of Franz Xavier Nicolau Fischler von Treuberg (1775-1835) and his wife Princess Maria Kreszentia of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1766-1844), youngest daughter of Karl Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. Thirteen years older than the Brazilian Duchess, the Count was a wealthy landowner and related to the Prussian royal family on his mother's side. In November of that year, Amélie of Leuchtenberg asked Pedro II of Brazil to grant the Imperial Order of the Rose to Isabel Maria's future husband.

The wedding ceremony took place at the Palais Leuchtenberg in Munich on 17 April 1843. Due to her marriage to a foreigner, Isabel Maria lost her Brazilian title and honors. The couple had four children:

Marie Amélie Fischler von Treuberg (6 February 1844 – 30 March 1919).
Ferdinand Fischler von Treuberg (24 January 1845 – 3 July 1897), 3rd Count of Treuberg and Baron of Holzen; married Rosine Antonie Therese, Edle von Poschinger. Had issue.
Augusta Maria Fischler von Treuberg (8 October 1846 – 16 August 1909), married Maximilian, Baron Tänzl von Tratzberg.
Franz Xavier Fischler von Treuberg (2 July 1855 – 1 February 1933), married firstly Karoline von Wendt and secondly to his first wife's sister, Ludovika Manuela Maria von Wendt. Had issue in both marriages.

Relationship with the Duchess of Bragança
In 1848 and shortly after marrying with Maria Isabel de Alcântara (full-sister of the Duchess of Goiás), Pedro Caldeira Brant, Count of Iguaçu, tried to contact his sister-in-law in Bavaria. Isabel Maria, who had no recollection of her maternal family, was shocked when she received from the Count, as proof of her biological ancestry, the letters exchanged between Emperor Pedro I of Brazil and the Marchioness of Santos in which the lovers mentioned their daughter. The story, which had been hidden from the Duchess of Góias by the express wish of the late former Emperor and Duke of Bragança, ended up initially shaking the family relationship that Isabel Maria had with her stepmother Amélie of Leuchtenberg, whom she considered her mother.

Widowhood and later years. Death
The 2nd Count of Treuberg died on 14 May 1867, just six months before the death of his mother-in-law, the Marchioness of Santos. Isabel Maria de Alcântara (who remained in Europe and never returned to her homeland), died at Murnau am Staffelsee in the Kingdom of Bavaria, on 3 November 1898, exactly 31 years after her mother's death.

title: Computation offloading

text:
Computation offloading is the transfer of resource intensive computational tasks to a separate processor, such as a hardware accelerator, or an external platform, such as a cluster, grid, or a cloud.  Offloading to a coprocessor can be used to accelerate applications including: image rendering and mathematical calculations. Offloading computing to an external platform over a network can provide computing power and overcome hardware limitations of a device, such as limited computational power, storage, and energy.

History
The first concepts of stored-program computers were developed in the design of the ENIAC, the first general-purpose digital computer. The ENIAC was limited in performance to single tasks which led to the development of the EDVAC which would become the first computer designed to perform instructions of various types. Developing computing technologies facilitated the increase in performance of computers, and subsequently has led to a variety of configurations and architecture.

The first instances of computation offloading were the use of simple sub-processors to handle Input/output processing through a separate system called Channel I/O. This concept improved overall system performance as the mainframe only needed to set parameters for the operations while the channel processors carried out the I/O formatting and processing. During the 1970s, coprocessors began being used to accelerate floating-point arithmetic faster than earlier 8-bit and 16-bit processors which used software. As a result, math coprocessors became common for scientific and engineering calculations. Another form of coprocessor was the graphics coprocessor. As image processing became more popular, specialized graphics chips began being used to offload the creation of images from the CPU. Coprocessors were common in most computers, however, declined in usage due to the development in microprocessor technologies which integrated many coprocessor functions. Dedicated graphics processing units, however, are still widely used for their effectiveness in many tasks including; image processing, machine learning, parallel computing, computer vision, and physical simulation.

The concept of time-sharing, the sharing of computing resources, was first implemented by John McCarthy. At the time, mainframe computing was not practical due to the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining mainframe computers. Time-sharing was a viable solution for this problem as computing time could be available to smaller companies. In the 1990s telecommunications companies started offering virtual private network (VPN) services. This allowed companies to balance traffic on servers which resulted in an effective use of bandwidth. The cloud symbol became synonymous with the interaction between providers and users. This computing extended past network servers and allowed computing power to be available to users through time-sharing. The availability of virtual computers allowed users to offload tasks from a local processor.

In 1997 distributed.net sought to obtain volunteer computing to solve computational intensive tasks by using the performance of networked PCs. This concept known as grid computing was associated with cloud computing systems.

The first concept of linking large mainframes to provide an effective form of parallelism was developed in the 1960s by IBM. Cluster computing was used by IBM was to increase hardware, operating system, and software performance while allowing users to run existing applications. This concept gained momentum during the 1980s as high-performance microprocessors and high-speed networks, tools for high performance distributed computing, emerged. Clusters could efficiently split and offload computation to individual nodes for increased performance while also gaining scalability.

Concept
Computational tasks are handled by a central processor which executes instructions by carrying out rudimentary arithmetic, control logic, and input/output operations. The efficiency of computational tasks is dependent on the instructions per seconds that a CPU can perform which vary with different types of processors. Certain application processes can be accelerated by offloading tasks from the main processor to a coprocessor while other processes might require an external processing platform.

Hardware Acceleration
Hardware offers greater possible performance for certain tasks when compared to software. The use of specialized hardware can perform functions faster than software processed on a CPU. Hardware has the benefit of customization which allows for dedicated technologies to be used for distinct functions. For example, a graphics processing unit (GPU), which consists of numerous low-performance cores, is more efficient at graphical computation than a CPU which features fewer, high power, cores. Hardware accelerators, however, are less versatile when compared to a CPU.

Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing refers to both the applications transported over the Internet and the hardware and software in the data centers that provide services; which include data storage and computing. This form of computing is reliant on high-speed internet access and infrastructure investment. Through network access, a computer can migrate part of its computing to the cloud. This process involves sending data to a network of data centers that have access to computing power needed for computation.

Cluster Computing
Cluster computing is a type of parallel processing system which combines interconnected stand-alone computers to work as a single computing resource. Clusters employ a parallel programming model which requires fast interconnection technologies to support high-bandwidth and low latency for communication between nodes. In a shared memory model, parallel processes have access to all memory as a global address space. Multiple processors have the ability to operate independently but they share the same memory, therefore, changes in memory by one processor are reflected on all other processors.

Grid Computing
Grid computing is a group of networked computers that work together as a virtual supercomputer to perform intensive computational tasks, such as analyzing huge sets of data. Through the cloud, it is possible to create and use computer grids for purposes and specific periods. Splitting computational tasks over multiple machines significantly reduces processing time to increase efficiency and minimize wasted resources. Unlike with parallel computing, grid computing tasks usually have no time dependency associated with them, but instead, they use computers that are part of the grid only when idle, and users can perform tasks unrelated to the grid at any time.

Advantages
There are several advantages in offloading computation to an external processor:

 External processing units can offer greater computational performance, storage, and flexibility when compared to a local computer.
 Computational limitations of a device could be ignored by offloading the workload to other systems with better performance and resources. Other aspects of the device could be improved including; energy consumption, cost, and portability.
 Enterprises that require hardware to perform business do not have to allocate resources towards information technology and infrastructure development.
 Cluster computing is more cost-effective than a single computer and is much more flexible in terms of adding more processing units.

Limitations
There are several limitations in offloading computation to an external processor:

 Cloud computing services have issues regarding downtime, as outages can occur when service providers are overloaded with tasks.
 External computing requires network dependency which could lead to downtime if a network connection runs into issues.
 Computing over a network introduces latency which is not desired for latency-sensitive applications, including autonomous driving and video analytics.
 Cloud Providers are not always secure, and in an event of a security breach, important information could be disclosed.
 Modern computers integrate various technologies including; graphics, sound hardware, and networking within the main circuit board which makes many hardware accelerators irrelevant.
 Using cloud services removes individual control over the hardware and forces users to trust that cloud providers will maintain infrastructure and properly secure their data.
 Application software may not be available on the target processor or operating system.  Software may need to be rewritten for the target environment.  This can lead to additional software development, testing and costs.

Application

Cloud Services
Cloud services can be described by 3 main cloud service models: SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. Software as a service (SaaS) is an externally hosted service which can be easily accessed by a consumer through a web browser. Platform as a service (PaaS) is a development environment where software can be built, tested, and deployed without the user having to focus on building and maintaining computational infrastructure. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is access to an infrastructure's resources, network technology, and security compliance which can be used by enterprises to build software. Cloud computing services provide users with access to large amounts of computational power and storage not viable on local computers without having significant expenditure.

Mobile Cloud Computing
Mobile devices, such as smartphones and wearable devices, are limited in terms of computational power, storage, and energy. Despite the constant development in key components including; CPU, GPU, memory, and wireless access technologies; mobile devices need to be portable and energy efficient. Mobile cloud computing is the combination of cloud computing and mobile computing, in which mobile devices perform computation offloading to balance the power of the cloud for accelerating application execution and saving energy consumption. In this computation offloading, a mobile device migrates part of its computing to the cloud. This process involves application partitioning, offloading decision, and distributed task execution.

Video Gaming
Video games are electronic games that involve input, an interaction with a user interface, and generate output, usually visual feedback on a video display device. These input/output operations rely on a computer and its components, including the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage. Game files are stored in a form of secondary memory which is then loaded into the main memory when executed. The CPU is responsible for processing input from the user and passing information to the GPU. The GPU does not have access to a computer's main memory so instead, graphical assets have to be loaded into VRAM which is the GPU's memory. The CPU is responsible for instructing the GPU while the GPU uses the information to render an image on to an output device. CPU's are able to run games without a GPU through software rendering, however, offloading rendering to a GPU which has specialized hardware results in improved performance.

title: Crab on its Back

text:
Crab on its Back () is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh. It is a still life of a crab lying on its back with a green background. The Van Gogh Museum dates the work to August–September 1887, while other sources date it to early 1889. The painting is in the permanent collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

The painting is possibly inspired by a Japanese print of a crab by Hokusai that Van Gogh had seen in the magazine Le Japon Artistique, which his brother Theo van Gogh had sent him in September 1888.

title: Adalsinda and Eusebia

text:
Adalsinda or Adalsindis of Hamay and Eusebia of Douai, were 7th-century Columban nuns, who were sisters from a prominent Merovingian family; Eusebia became an Abbess. They are venerated as saints in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Their parents were Richtrudis, a Gascoigne-Basque heiress, and Adalbard I of Ostrevent, a Frankish duke of Douai. Both mother and father are also recognised as saints, as are another sister, Clotsinda, and a brother, Maurontius. They are especially venerated in Northern France and Flanders.

Eusebia's commemoration is on 16 March; Adalsinda's feast day is 25 December, around the date of her death, by tradition "during the solemnities of Christmas".

The two abbeys
Following their father's death in an attack, near Périgueux, , the sisters' mother, Richtrudis, retired to the Marchiennes Abbey that she and her husband had founded in 630. Her three daughters accompanied her there. All four became nuns, Richtrudis taking the role of abbess at Marchiennes. As Marchiennes had been made a dual monastery by Richtrudis around 647, her son Maurontius, once he became a monk, was also at the same abbey for a time. The abbey followed the Rule of Saint Columbanus from its founding until 1024, when it became a Benedictine monastery.

The earlier established () Hamay Abbey nearby at Wandignies-Hamage was located on the opposite side of the river Scarpe; it, too, had a connection to the family, being overseen by the sisters' paternal great-grandmother who was its founding abbess, . The smaller Hamay Abbey was later absorbed by its larger neighbour, Marchienne, possibly when Marchienne became a solely male Benedictine establishment in 1024.

Adalsinda
Saint Adalsinda (), the youngest child of the family, entered Marchiennes Abbey in , with her mother and sisters. Later she went to the abbey at Hamay, where her sister Eusebia had become abbess in succession to their great-grandmother, Saint Gertrude. Gertrudes's widowed daughter, Gerberta –who was Adalbard's mother, and so the sisters' grandmother– was also a nun of Hamay Abbey. Clotsinda remained at Marchiennes, with her mother.

Adalsinda's year of death is uncertain; some histories recount that she predeceased her mother, who died in 688, either giving the year as  or stating that she died very young. For example, authors P.F.X. de Ram (1866) and Dunbar (1904) give this earlier timing for her death. Writing in 2007, Dries van den Akker, a Jesuit author and editor stated, "more recent sources, which are based on historical research, give the year 715 as her date of death". This is the year given in the 1921 Benedictines of Ramsgate's Book of Saints and a 1945 essay by Cristiani. At least one modern work (1985) shows both years for Adalsinda's death in different sections, as Akker notes.

Eusebia
Saint Eusebia of Douai was born about 637, the eldest daughter of Richtrudis (or Rictrude) and Adalbard. Maurontius of Douai was her elder brother. According to Dunbar's 1904 Dictionary of Saintly Women, Queen Nanthild was Eusebia's godmother and had gifted her with the fine estate of Verny near Soissons.

Eusebia (), was sent to the nearby convent of  (alternatively known as 'Hamay' or 'Hamay-sur-la-Scarpe'). This was at the request of her great-grandmother and founding abbess of Hamay, Saint Gertrude. In thus adopting a family member as her protégé, Gertrude's actions are consistent with the monastic system of the time. Controlled by the ruling, landholding class that was closely linked to the Merovingian monarchy, ensuring succession by close relatives was a way to retain power and prestige within families.

Before her death, Gertrude named Eusebia her successor and she was duly elected abbess upon her great-grandmother's demise. Eusebia was but twelve years old, and her mother considering her too young for such responsibility, placed Hamay under the direction of Marchiennes. Eusebia eventually returned to Hamay, where she assumed her role of abbess. Her younger sister Adalsinda later joined her there. Abbess Eusebia died around 680. In Belgium and northern France she is called Ysoie, Isoie or Eusoye.

title: General Porter House

text:
The General Porter House is a historic house at 32-34 Livermore Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  Built about 1751, it is a well-preserved example of a Portsmouth gambrel-roofed double house, and has been home to a number of prominent individuals.  Now housing residential condominiums, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Description and history
The General Porter House is located on the east side of Livermore Street, a short residential street facing Haven Park south of downtown Portsmouth. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof and clapboarded exterior. A "Portsmouth double house", it is five bays wide and two deep, with additions on either side, and an ell to the rear. The main entrance is at the center of the facade, topped by a rounded pediment and flanked by pilasters. The roof is pierced by five dormers, all but the center one with gabled roofs. The center one matches the entry trim in having a rounded roof. The right-side projecting has a secondary entrance, also flanked by pilasters.

The house was built c. 1751 by Matthew Livermore, who was New Hampshire's first formally-educated lawyer, and was a representative to New Hampshire's provisional government during the American Revolutionary War. The house has been moved twice, both times in the 19th century. Another major owner was Samuel Coues, a leader of the shipbuilding industry in Portsmouth during the 19th century, and leader of the American Peace Party in the 1840s. Its most recent notable resident was General Fitz John Porter, a United States Army general who served in the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War. The building was converted into condominiums in 1983, at which time the doorways were reconfigured, removing one in the left projection.

title: Norcliffe Chapel

text:
Norcliffe Chapel is in the village of Styal, Cheshire, England.  It is a Unitarian chapel, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.  The chapel was built in 1822–23 by a mill owner for his workers, and was extended by his son in 1867.  Further additions were made in 1906.  The chapel is built in brick, and is in Gothic Revival style.  Since 1977 it has been in the ownership of the National Trust, but continues to function as an active Unitarian chapel.

History

The chapel was built at a cost of nearly £308 in 1822–23 ().  It was paid for by Samuel Greg, the founder and owner of Quarry Bank Mill, and was for the use of his workers.  Greg was a Unitarian but many of his workers were Baptists. The chapel originally served the latter denomination, but since 1833 it has been Unitarian.  The chapel was a simple structure with a rectangular plan, rectangular windows, a flat roof, and a small belfry.  It also had a full-sized baptismal pool.  The chapel had no chancel or porch.  Samuel Greg died in 1834, and ownership of the chapel passed to his son, Robert Hyde Greg, who was also a Unitarian.  In 1867 he commissioned improvements to the chapel.  A chancel, a porch, buttresses, and a plinth were added, the door was moved, the flat roof was replaced by a pitched roof, Gothic-style windows containing stained glass were inserted, and a larger bellcote was built.  The improvements cost £1,000.

Robert Hyde Greg died in 1878, and in the following year a trust was set up to administer the chapel.  In 1906 a council room and a vestry were added, which were designed by Thomas Worthington.  The chapel continued to be administrated by the trust, but by 1977 the Styal estate, other than the chapel, was owned by the National Trust.  The chapel was in need of repairs that could not be afforded by the chapel trust, and its ownership passed to the National Trust.  The chapel continues in use as an active Unitarian chapel.

Architecture

Norcliffe Chapel is built in brick on a stone plinth with stone dressings, and has a roof of Kerridge stone-slate with a stone ridge.

title: Druk Athletic FC

text:
Druk Athletic (also known as Veterans) was a football club from Thimphu, Bhutan, that competed in the A-Division, the highest level of football in Bhutan. They originally competed in the second tier of football, but eventually won promotion to the A-Division, there they remained for a number of seasons, although they almost perennially struggled against relegation, before finally succumbing in 2011.

History

2002–2007
The first recorded mention of Druk Athletic competing in any level of football in Bhutan was in 2002, when they competed in the B-Division. In the single round-robin group stage they performed disappointingly, winning only one of their games, a 6–0 victory over eventual last place finishers, RC Cables, and did not progress to the knock out stage. The following season was more successful, though sources are confusing. The team lost to RIHS in the knock-out final of the B-Division, but apparently were declared champions and were promoted to the A-Division for the first time.

Insufficient details is present in the surviving records for the 2004 season to show how Druk Athletic performed, though it is known they did not compete the following year, but again, a lack of detail on that season's B-Division means it is not possible to say whether they were relegated in 2004 or simply did not compete. All that can be said is that if they did play in the 2005 B-Division, they did not finish in the top two, as the final was contested by Choden and Rookies.

The next record of the club competing is in 2007. They finished in the top two of the B-Division and entered the promotion / relegation play-offs together with Wolfland from the B-Division and the bottom two teams in that year's A-Division, RIHS and Rigzung. Veterans won all three of their matches and were promoted to the A-Division for the second time in their history.

2008–2012
For their second period in the A-Division, they changed their name from Veterans to Druk Athletic. the team struggled in 2008. Although their final position is not known, they were in second last position at the halfway stage of the season with only two wins from their seven games to that point. Results are incomplete in the records for the remainder of the season, but it is recorded that they suffered heavy defeats, 11–1 against Transport United and 12–0 versus Yeedzin.

Their struggles continued in 2009 when they were saved from relegation only by the withdrawal of Royal Bhutan Army halfway through the season, who at that point had already gained more than twice the number of points Druk Athletic would amass throughout the whole campaign. Their sole victory came against Rigzung, 3–1, who finished below them, and their only other point was gained in a 2–2 draw versus Transport United. In their thirteen games, they conceded 113 goals and finished the season with a −101 goal difference, ending up on the receiving end of very heavy defeats at the hands of Yeedzin, 20–0 and 16–1, Druk Star, 13–1, Choden, 11–0 and Druk Pol 10–0.

The following season saw a slight improvement in their fortunes. They finished a place lower than 2009 in second last place, although this time all teams completed their twelve matches. They managed to gain two wins, 2–1 against Choden and 3–2 versus Nangpa. they also managed to perform much better defensively, still finishing with the worst goal difference in the league of −41, but only conceding 52 goals in their 12 games.

Despite finishing in second last place, there appears to have been no promotion or relegation between the A and B-Divisions, and Druk Athletic competed again in the top flight of Bhutanese football in the 2011 season. No details are available in terms of results, but it is known that Druk Athletic again finished second last with Nangpa propping up the table for a second consecutive season.

It appears that there was again no promotion or relegation, as Nangpa again took part in the A-Division in 2012, however Druk Athletic did not, and if they did compete in the B-Division then they could have finished no higher than fourth as three semi-finalists are known from that season's knock out stages. Their current status is unknown as there are no details indicating they took part in either the 2013 or 2014 B-Division competitions.
