title: Armellodie Records

text:
Armellodie Records is a Scottish record label based in Glasgow, Scotland. Armellodie was established in 2007 by Al Nero and Scott Maple. The label is named after a track on Chilly Gonzales' 2004 album, Solo Piano.

Biography
The label's first release, in February 2007, was a 7" single called 'Wound Up' by Scottish band, Le Reno Amps, a band fronted by label founders, Nero and Maple. Another Le Reno Amps single followed before the label made its first full signing in 2008, Elgin-based rock troupe, Cuddly Shark who released their debut single 'The Punisher of IV30'. The only other release in 2008 would come in the form of Sheffield's Kill The Captains who released a 4 track EP.

The label continued with a compact roster for the next few years, only adding math-pop trio, Super Adventure Club to the label before announcing over 2010 and 2011 the addition of Thirty Pounds of Bone, The Scottish Enlightenment, Chris Devotion & The Expectations, The Douglas Firs, Something Beginning With L and The Hazey Janes.

2012 saw the label make their 30th release and add yet more artists to their roster. This was also the first year which the label had been run between Guangdong, China and Glasgow after Nero's relocation.

In 2013, Armellodie released a second album by their first signings Cuddly Shark as well as new albums by Thirty Pounds of Bone, The Pure Conjecture, Super Adventure Club and two EP's from Galoshins.

In 2014, the label have released second albums from The Hazey Janes and Chris Devotion and the Expectations as well as the debut album from Dan Lyth and the Euphrates.

Other activities
In early 2010, Armellodie ran a monthly club night in Glasgow's Bloc venue called BARmellodie. Each night would include a line up of three bands, both from the label and not on the label as well as a guest DJ.

title: Lecanora mugambii

text:
Lecanora mugambii is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. Found in western Kenya, it was described as new to science in 2011.

Taxonomy

Lecanora mugambii was first discovered and described by Paul Kirika, Imke Schmitt, Johnathon Fankhauser, and H. Thorsten Lumbsch in 2011. The holotype specimen was found in Kenya's Western Province, on the slopes of Mount Elgon Forest; there it was growing on large boulders in remnant cloud forest. This lichen differentiates from Lecanora glaucodea in terms of its thicker thallus, broader  and the presence of alectoronic acid.

Description

The physical attributes of Lecanora mugambii include a thin to thick thallus, ranging in appearance from  to - and possessing a whitish-grey colour. Its surface is smooth and lacks both isidia and soredia. This lichen bears sessile, abundant, and dispersed  that range from 0.6–1.5 mm in diameter. These apothecia have grey to grey-brown  under a thick, , whitish grey to bluish-grey . Its ascospores are non-septate, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid to somewhat spherical, measuring 11–15 by 7–10.5 μm. The lichen's biochemistry reveals the presence of several compounds, including alectoronic acid, atranorin, chloroatranorin, physodic acid, usnic acid, and other unidentified alectoronic acid derivatives.

Similar species

Lecanora mugambii shares some similarities with Lecanora glaucodea, a species native to the neotropics, but can be distinguished by its thicker, bullate thallus, larger apothecia, broader ascospores, and a distinct chemical composition. The species also bears resemblance to Lecanora formosula, which can be however readily identified by its thin thallus, slightly pruinose apothecial discs, smaller ascospores, and a different chemical profile.

Habitat and distribution

Lecanora mugambii has been found on siliceous rocks in exposed locations on the edge of a remnant cloud forest. Its known habitat is limited to its type locality at an elevation of , where it is quite common. This lichen coexists with other species such as Diploschistes scruposus, Ingvariella bispora, Pertusaria subventosa, and species from the genera Heterodermia, Punctelia, Tephromela, and Xanthoparmelia.

title: Bruche (river)

text:
The Bruche () is a river in Alsace, in north-eastern France. It is a left-side tributary of the Ill, and part of the Rhine basin. It is 76.7 km long, and has a drainage basin of
720 km2. Its source is in the Vosges, at the western foot of the mountain Climont, near the village of Bourg-Bruche. It flows through the towns Schirmeck, Mutzig, Molsheim and Holtzheim. It flows into the Ill in the city of Strasbourg, southwest of the historic centre. Its largest tributary is the river Mossig.

At Wolxheim, where the Bruche and Mossig meet, part of the water feeds the Canal de la Bruche, built in 1682 to link the sandstone quarries at Soultz-les-Bains with Strasbourg. The canal remained in use until 1939.

title: Lecanora printzenii

text:
Lecanora printzenii is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. Originally found in Spain, it was described as new to science in 2011. It shares several characteristics with lichens of the Lecanora varia group but is differentiated by its unique sequence in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of its DNA and by several distinctive physical characteristics.

Taxonomy
Lecanora printzenii was first described by Sergio Pérez-Ortega, Mercedes Vivas Rebuelta, and Josef Hafellner in 2011. The name pays tribute to lichenologist Christian Printzen of Frankfurt, Germany, in recognition of his significant contributions to the taxonomy of yellow Lecanora species.

The species belongs to the Lecanora varia group, whose taxonomy was recently revised by several studies. DNA sequencing and molecular phylogenetic analysis shows that L. printzenii is closely related to other members of this group, such as L. varia, L. burgaziae, and L. densa.
The type specimen of L. printzenii was discovered by the first author in August 2007, in the , in the Castilla and León region of Spain. Paratype material of Lecanora printzenii was included in the seventh fascicle of the exsiccata series "Lichenicolous Biota" (no. 176), where it is hosted by an unspecified species of Umbilicaria.

Description
Lecanora printzenii is characterised by its yellowish-green thallus composed of convex, irregularly rounded , and its numerous , which can be either regular in shape or compressed and irregular. Young apothecia are sessile with thick margins that transition from greenish to black, and they feature a narrow yet distinct whitish band on the inner side. Initially rounded, the apothecia become  as they mature, and they become constricted at the base and cup-shaped. Older apothecia are flat, narrowly attached, and have a much thinner margin. The apothecial  transition from yellowish-green to melanised and can range from bare to somewhat . This melanization of both the apothecial margin and the disc is a feature that helps to differentiate it from its close relatives. The  partner of the lichen is a green alga from the genus Trebouxia with cells that are up to 20 μm in diameter.

Lecanora printzenii is chemically characterised by both usnic acid and psoromic acids as main substances.

Similar species
Lecanora printzenii belongs to the L. varia species group and is closely related to other species of the group such as L. varia, L. burgaziae, and L. densa. However, it is distinguished from these relatives by its lichenicolous habit, the  that is partly melanized, the blackish disc, and its distinct ITS sequence. Other lichenicolous species of Lecanora, such as L. lasalliae on Lasallia pustulata and L. gyrophorina on Umbilicaria hyperborea, do not belong to the L. varia group and differ in their habit, anatomical characters and chemistry.

Habitat and distribution
Lecanora printzenii is a lichenicolous lichen, meaning it grows on other lichens, and is specifically found on various species of Umbilicaria. It can cause significant damage to the areas of the lichen where it grows. The host range, however, may be broader, as one collection from Poland occurred on Psorinia conglomerata.

The species has been recorded in a number of mountainous regions across Europe including Sierra de Francia in Spain, the Alps in Austria, the Carpathians in Poland, and most crecently in Montenegro on the Balkan Peninsula. That record extends the known distribution of L. printzenii, which is anticipated to occur more broadly.

title: (The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs

text:
(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs is a song from the 2002 musical Hairspray. It is sung by Velma Von Tussle, the producer of The Corny Collins Show.

Synopsis
Velma Von Tussle recounts how she won a beauty pageant when she was younger, which she clearly considers to be her proudest moment. Velma recounts her tales of sleeping to the top and not being afraid to play dirty. She later interrogates Tracy, eventually kicking her out of The Corny Collins Show audition.

Analysis
DVDTalk wrote "Other songs help flesh out characters that have been changed from the film. 'The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs' gives Velma Von Tussle additional motivation, background and a reason to be bad while still advancing the plot. Since her character is something of a composite from the film (she combines the characters played by Debbie Harry, Mink Stole, and Sonny Bono), she becomes much richer and funnier."

Critical reception
Reviewing a stage production, Curtain Up wrote "Van Cleave is a powerhouse recounting "The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs"". Reviewing the film, BBC wrote "Michelle Pfeiffer is deliciously icy as scheming TV mogul Velma Von Tusselle, cha-cha-cha-ing in ("The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs".". Reviewing a stage version, Drew Sterwald of The News-Press commented "Tracy's nemesis...really sinks her teeth into the rotten role and delivers a show-stopping solo, "(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs"". IBJ noted that one performer "turns what the one-note evil TV producer Velma von Tussle and her "(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs" number into a show highlight." Reviewing a 90 minute intermissionless version performed in Las Vegas, TheaterMania wrote "The only other two numbers to be cut completely, "(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs" and "Cooties," aren't missed at all; the first is the closest thing to a clinker in the show, an uninspired attempt to musicalize the comic villainess Velma Von Tussle". CinePhillyist described it as "Michelle Pfeiffer's funny and more than a little dirty [number]". Similarly, EY Jacksonville called it "one of the funniest numbers in the show". IndyWeek commented "This show that features a number titled "The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs" had earned a standing ovation from a room ranging from children to the elderly. That's an achievement that Waters himself would approve." Reviewing Pfeiffer's performance in the 2007 film, Phawker wrote "Her fab rendition...commands your attention. Keeping Up With NX said "we even get so see Velma in all her crowning glory with the hilarious '(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs.'".

Reviewing a live performance, Variety said "“I Can Hear the Bells,” the fantasy ballet in which Tracy seduces and weds Link to the sound of rhythmic chiming, is performed with winking brio and remains a comic highlight of the first act."  Broadway Word described it as "lovelorn", and Theatre Mirror deemed it "a fall in love at first sight love song". Hoopls described it as "love-struck", while MC Theatre Guide named it "lovesick" and Shropshire Star called it a "love-struck ballad".

title: Run and Tell That

text:
"Run and Tell That" is an R&B song in the 2002 musical Hairspray, performed by the African-American character Seaweed.

Production
The phrase "Run And Tell That" is traced back to African American religious and secular songs. Literally, it means: "to exhort someone to go quickly and give information or news to another person or persons", however in this context it is more like "declaring to your adversary you will succeed in the near future, and that he or she should let the world world know that fact". This is Seaweed's only solo song.

Synopsis
The song has Seaweed singing about black pride stating, "The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice" and the realities associated with being marginalized by a white society.

Analysis
About.com analyses the song:

Kristi Music Lover wrote:

Critical reception
CinemaBlend said the song was "show-stopping" and "eye-popping in its energy". DemonMedia described it as a "soulful number". Reviewing the 2007 film version, FilmJournal wrote Elijah Kelley "simply sizzles in his featured number". Slate wrote it was a "group dance number".

title: Good Morning Baltimore

text:
"Good Morning Baltimore" is the opening number of the 2002 musical Hairspray. Written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, it is performed by the protagonist, Tracy Turnblad, and alludes to the distinctive beat and vocal effects ("oh-oh-oh") of The Ronettes' 1963 hit "Be My Baby".

Production
In the 2007 film, Tracy, played by Nikki Blonsky, blinks her eyes in time with the music at the beginning of this number.

Synopsis
Tracy Turnblad wakes up to a new day in Baltimore, and sings about everything she encounters on the way to school. She dreams of being a star. The song "takes us through Tracy’s morning routine, for instance, hitching a ride with the garbage man when she misses the bus for school."

Analysis
About.com examines the song's themes:

Answers.com adds further insight:

Critical reception
BroadwayReviewed said "'Good Morning Baltimore' from the musical Hairspray is one of the most well known songs from the broadway show. Not only does everyone love this show tune, but it is an awesome song to represent the city. It is positive, funny and a bit quirky, just like Baltimore." It adds the song "is the perfect way to open the show because it isn’t just funny, but it is a fun song to sing. It walks you through the city and you even somewhat feel like you are actually there when she is describing it." Talkin' broadway described the song as "lovably cheesy 1960s pop". Common Sense Media said this "infectious song...sets the cheery tone" of the rest of the 2007 film. Similarly, CinemaBlend explains "The song immediately sets the toe-tapping tone for the rest of the film".

Reprise
A reprise is performed by Tracy as she is imprisoned for protesting. The lyrics are changed to show Tracy's loneliness and love for Link.

title: I Know Where I've Been

text:
"I Know Where I've Been" is a gospel-style, soul song from the 2002 musical Hairspray, performed by "Motormouth" Maybelle as she leads a protest for racial equality through the streets of Baltimore.

Critical reception
The song is regarded by critics as the most serious in the production, examining themes of past struggle and future resolution. It received acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Reviewing a stage version, Broadway World wrote "When the fabulous Arthella Williams' "Maybelle" brings down the house with the show's one genuinely serious song "I Know Where I've Been," the audience is already being prepped for a standing ovation." In other stage musical reviews, CurtainUp notes "Inga Ballard as "Motormouth" Maybelle, stops the show with "I Know Where I've Been", while MD Theatre Guide writes "Aaliyah Dixon's voice soared to phenomenal heights in the tearjerker, "I Know Where I've Been" drawing the audience to roaring applause". Catholic News explains "Maybelle's stirring civil rights number -- "I Know Where I've Been"—is sung during a torch-lit protest march to the TV station and provides the film's most serious, genuinely moving sequence."

RationalMusic wrote "The song "I Know Where I've Been" is very pretty, but its slow and serious tone is jarring after the frivolity of the rest of the score. Also, is there some unwritten rule that says that if a show has black characters, they have to sing a gospel-style or religious song? " It has been described as "anthemic", "a power ballad about the struggles of racism", "one of the film's true highlights", and the "rousing, showstopper act two song". VeniceStage writes "Despite all the fun and fluff of hairspray, that message of tolerance and acceptance is one that hits home without preachiness." SparksUnderland wrote "The soul gospel filled number, 'I Know Where I've Been', seemed to raise the hairs on the back of my neck along with every other audience member there." A series of reviews compiled by NMST described the song as "soulful", a "powerful gospel-like blues ballad", "spiritual", "dramatic", and "knockout anthem".

title: Martha Gurney

text:
Martha Gurney (1733–1816) was an English printer, bookseller and publisher, known as an abolitionist activist.

Life
The daughter of Thomas Gurney, she had Joseph Gurney as brother, and it was the memoirs of Joseph's son William Brodie Gurney that preserved details of Martha Gurney's life. In 1785 she joined the Maze Pond Particular Baptist congregation.

Publications
One type of publication with which Martha Gurney made a success was transcripts of trials. Her brother Joseph being a shorthand writer, she in partnership with him, from 1773, produced a long series of trial books. Her business was in the Temple Bar area of London, moving later to Holborn. She also published sermons, for example those of James Dore, her minister at Maze Pond. In the years 1788 to 1794 she was at her most active in producing pamphlets.

In 1794, Gurney joined other radical publishers (Daniel Isaac Eaton, Joseph Johnson, James Ridgway and Robert Westley) in producing a new edition of Benjamin Franklin's Information to Those who would Remove to America. This pamphlet from 1784, encouraging British emigration to the new United States of America, was still in the 1790s considered subversive by the British authorities, and more generally.

In Baptist abolitionist publishing, Gurney's collaboration with William Fox was prominent, with the productions of other figures such as William Button, and John Marsom. Fox's pamphlet of the early 1790s against sugar and rum from the triangular trade was published and promoted by Gurney, and sold eventually hundreds of thousands of copies, in 26 editions.

title: Kwon Jeong-saeng

text:
Kwon Jeong Saeng (September 10, 1937 – May 17, 2007) (Hangul: ) was a South Korean writer.

Life
Kwon Jeong Saeng was born Kwon Gyeongsu in Tokyo, Japan in 1937.  Shortly after the Liberation in 1946, he returned to Korea. Because he was extremely poor, Kwon never received a formal education, instead traveling Korea while working as a clerk, and sometimes resorting to betting to support himself. In 1967 Kwon settled in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do as a church caretaker. His first publication, “Puppy Poo” (, ) appeared in 1969 in Christian Education (, ); in 1971, his story “Lamb’s Shadow Ttallangi” (, ) was chosen as one of the winners of a spring literary contest sponsored by Daegu Maeil Sinmun, and in 1973, “Mommy and Cotton Jacket” (, ) was selected by Chosun Ilbo for its literary contest.

Kwon fell ill in his later years, and made a will that left all of his royalties to charities, including some in North Korea, Asia, and Africa. He also requested that his cottage be destroyed, or left to nature, and wanted his body cremated and spread on the mountains behind his home.

Work

The Literature Translation Institute of Korea summarizes Kown's work:

In 1996, Kwon's work "Puppy Poo" was turned into a successful children's picture book.

title: Baruch: My Own Story

text:
Baruch: My Own Story a memoir of Bernard Mannes Baruch, which he put together himself, originally published by Henry Holt in 1957. It has been republished in two volumes by Buccaneer Books in 1993.

Synopsis
It tells his story as a public servant and—prior to that—his financial success on Wall Street. The book starts off detailing Baruch's parents' lives and growing up in South Carolina and then the family's move to New York.  At that point—when Baruch was 10—his physician father became a leader in the beginnings of public sanitation and physical therapy.

In 1891, Baruch "made it" on Wall Street, becoming an employee at A. A. Housman, where he worked for more than 10 years. Thereafter he relinquished his Stock Exchange seat, left Wall Street and sold all his stocks upon his appointment to the War Industries Board by President Woodrow Wilson in 1918.

Background
Baruch completed this book when he was 87 years old. According to blogger Javier Gonzalez, Baruch was different to his contemporaries in the market as he had "a healthy detachment from monetary gains," enabling him to make more detached decisions than his contemporaries.  Being a balanced individual he was able to get more rewards than the stereotypical Wall Streeter who is often self-centered and only focused on their own wealth and well-being.  This book depicts how he "made it" without succumbing to this potential downfall.

The flight tried to take cover behind some buildings, but then people began firing at them from the rooftops. Corporal David Hayden who was also on the patrol said "It was as if everybody out there that day decided 'let's just have a go at them'. It was coming from all directions." The battle lasted for nearly 90 minutes with a heavy concentration of fire for 30 minutes. at one point the Gunner on a WIMK Was shot in the chest, only stopped by his ballistic vest, He was knocked off the WMIK. However he got back on the vehicle and continued firing. A bald man doctor was there to save the day.  Enemy forces were estimated at 50 with at least 16 of the insurgents being killed by the RAF Regiment. Besides the many insurgent deaths, LAC Beard was also killed. Corporal David Hayden carried Beard over  under enemy fire to medical aid whilst he was injured, however, Beard died of his wounds, becoming the 166th British casualty of the War in Iraq. For his actions, Corporal Hayden became the first airman of the RAF to be awarded the Military Cross.

title: Angélique Berthenet

text:
Angélique Berthenet-Hidalgo (born September 18, 1976) is a French retired amateur freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's flyweight category. Considering one of the world's top female freestyle wrestlers in her decade, Berthenet has claimed a silver medal in the 47-kg division at the 1996 World Wrestling Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, produced a staggering tally of five medals (one gold and four bronze) at the European Championships, and offered a chance to represent her country France at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Throughout her sporting career, Berthenet trained full-time for Dammarie Sport Wrestling Club (), under her personal coach Ryszard Chelmowski.

Berthenet made sporting headlines at the 1996 World Wrestling Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, where she won a silver medal in the women's 47-kg division, losing to the U.S. wrestler Tricia Saunders. In the same year, she won her first European championship title in the same category, and continued to produce four more medals (1997, 1998, 2002, and 2003) in her career. Eventually, she entered the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in New York City, United States, and came strong as a top medal contender in her category. Though she finished sixth in the women's flyweight, Berthenet qualified for her first Olympics and was officially selected to the French Olympic team.

When women's wrestling made its debut at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Berthenet seized her opportunity to compete in the inaugural 48 kg class. In the prelim pool, Berthenet opened her match by dismantling Mongolia's Tsogtbazaryn Enkhjargal with a 7–4 decision, and then easily pinned Guinea-Bissau's Leopoldina Ross within the first minute to secure a place in the semifinals. She lost the next day's semifinal match 12–0 in superb fashion to Japan's Chiharu Icho, and could not hold an early lead to throw the U.S. wrestler Patricia Miranda off the mat with a tough, 4–12 decision for the bronze medal, dropping her position to fourth.

title: 13th Special Operations Command

text:
The 13th Special Operations Command "Sacred Band" () was an umbrella unit of the Hellenic Army's special operation forces.

History
The 13th SOC traces its descent to the 13th Infantry Regiment (13ο Σύνταγμα Πεζικού), formed in November–December 1913 as part of the enlargement and re-organization of the Hellenic Army after the Balkan Wars. Along with the 27th and 28th Infantry Regiments, it formed the 11th Infantry Division under III Army Corps, headquartered in Thessaloniki. Along with the bulk of the Army, the regiment was disbanded during the National Schism in 1916.

On 10 February 1920, the Regiment was ordered re-established, and by May it had been re-formed and joined the Xanthi Division in Western Thrace. In the second half of June 1920, the Regiment was placed at the disposal of the British command at Çanakkale, helping to secure the British occupation zone around the Dardanelles Strait. Between 1–10 July, it was shipped back to the area of Soufli. On 10 July, it crossed the Evros River as part of the Greek offensive against the Turkish army in Eastern Thrace, and advanced up to Kirk Kilisse. In April 1921, the regiment was transferred again to Asia Minor, participating in the operations of the remainder of the Asia Minor Campaign until 1922.

In the re-organization of the Army following the defeat in Asia Minor, the 13th Regiment was once again placed under 11th Infantry Division, now based at Kilkis. In 1935, it was renamed to 65th Infantry Regiment. A 13th Infantry Regiment was re-formed in Thessaloniki upon the outbreak of the Greco-Italian War on 28 October 1940. Its formation was completed by mid-November, and, once again placed under 11th Infantry Division, it participated in the Greek offensive in Albania in the Ersekë–Dobruzhe axis (21 November 1940 – 5 February 1941). It was then placed in a defensive position at Mali Spadarit (6 February – 2 April), where it was among the units that successfully faced the Italian Spring Offensive. After that, it was withdrawn to the rear, and, with the German invasion of Greece unfolding from 6 April, was gradually moved south back into Greece, reaching Metsovo on 17 April. Following the capitulation of the Army to the Germans on 23 April, the regiment was disarmed on 24 April and began to demobilize. The remnants were moved to Larissa on 4 May, and the unit was formally disbanded on 10 May.

During the Axis occupation of Greece, the Panhellenic Liberation Organization, a Resistance group active in Macedonia, formed a "13th Guerrilla Regiment" (13ο Αντάρτικο Σύνταγμα) near Kilkis, based on the unit's traditional association with the area.

The 13th Regiment was not re-formed after World War II. On 22 May 1988, the 13th Amphibious Raider Regiment (13ο Σύνταγμα Αμφιβίων Καταδρομών, 13 ΣΑΚ) was formed, assuming the overall command of the various hitherto independent amphibious raider units, i.e. the I Amphibious Raider Squadron (Α’ Μοίρα Αμφιβίων Καταδρομών, Α’ ΜΑΚ) at Rhodes, the III Amphibious Raider Squadron (Γ’ Μοίρα Αμφιβίων Καταδρομών, Γ’ ΜΑΚ) at Chios, and the various Special National Guard Detachments (ΕΤΕΘ) on other Aegean islands. Following the Imia crisis of 1996, the newly formed elite VII Amphibious Raider Squadron (Ζ’ Μοίρα Αμφιβίων Καταδρομών, Ζ’ ΜΑΚ) was added to the Regiment, and in 1998 the Army's oldest fully professional and most elite formation, the Special Paratroopers Detachment (Ειδικό Τμήμα Αλεξιπτωτιστών, ΕΤΑ), came under its command.

In 2001, the 13th Amphibious Raider Regiment was re-organized, being expanded into the brigade-level 13th Special Operations Command and receiving the honorary title "Sacred Band" after the World War II-era Greek special forces unit. In 2002, the 13th Signals Company and the 13th Engineering Company were added as specialized support units. The unit forms part of the 1st Infantry Division, which groups together the Army's special and rapid reaction forces. From September 2005 until the Corps' disbandment in 2013, the unit was additionally placed under the supervision of the II Army Corps.

In 2021, as part of a major reorganization of the Greek special forces into a single Special Warfare Command, the 13th Special Operations Command was replaced by the Joint Special Operations Command.

The formation is also known as "Force Delta" (Δύναμη Δέλτα). 41 fast landing boats MUNIN S-1200 were ordered in December 2021 for Hellenic Army amphibious raider squadrons of Greece's recently created Joint Special Operations Command. The first 4 boats were delivered on 3 July 2023.

title: Dynamic shear rheometer

text:
A dynamic shear rheometer, commonly known as DSR, is used for research and development as well as for quality control in the manufacture of a wide range of materials. Dynamic shear rheometers have been used since 1993 when Superpave was used for characterising and understanding high temperature rheological properties of asphalt binders in both the molten and solid state and is fundamental in order formulate the chemistry and predict the end-use performance of these materials.

This is done by deriving the complex modulus (G*) from the storage modulus (elastic response, G') and loss modulus (viscous behaviour, G") yielding G* as a function of stress over strain. It is used to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt binders at intermediate temperatures from 10° to 150 °C (50° to 302 °F).

Early life
Cunnington was born in 1878 in Devizes, Wiltshire, the son of Annette Wright née Leach (1848–1919) and Henry Alfred Cunnington (1850–1879), a wine merchant, and was educated at Clifton College and Cambridge. He later moved to St Bartholomew's Hospital to train as a Physician.

War and marriage
During World War I Cunnington served as a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps. In 1918 he married Phillis Webb who was also a qualified doctor and for a number of years they had a joint practice in Finchley.

Costume and fashion
Cunnington and his wife collected clothes, and they soon had to build a large shed in the garden to house them all. By the end of the 1930s, they had about a thousand costumes, some of which they loaned out for some of the first British television transmissions.

Using his collection as a source, Cunnington published his first work, English Women's Clothing in the Nineteenth Century, in 1937. Although his second major work English Women's Clothing in the Present Century did not follow for 15 years he wrote a number of smaller works on the social implications and psychology of fashion. In collaboration with his wife he produced, A History of Underclothes, one of only a few studies on the subject at that time.

When they retired, they sold the collection to the Manchester Art Gallery for display at the Gallery of Costume at Platt Hall. Having moved to West Mersea, Essex the couple began a series of five handbooks that covered the history of English dress which they completed by 1959.

Cunnington died at his home at West Mersea on 21 January 1961 aged 82.

Museum of Clothes
In a letter to The Times in November 1937 Cunnington suggested a national costume museum. He also suggested that he would donate his collection to the nation if such a museum was established, if a museum was not established he would offer his collection for sale as he wanted it to remain together rather than being, as he said, "scattered here and there in existing museums".

In 1945 the collection was offered for sale for £7,000 with the hope that a single benefactor would keep it together. The collection was said to contain over 900 dresses, 650 hats or bonnets, 550 items of underclothing, 100 pairs of shoes, 90 shawls, 100 parasols and 350 examples of ribbons. The collection also included 1,200 bound and 2,600 unbound publications and 15,000 photographs.

In 1945 Lawrence Haward, the director of the Manchester City Art Gallery, launched a campaign to raise funds for the purchase of the Cunnigtons' extensive collection. In 1947 the collection was acquired and the Gallery of Costume at Platt Hall was opened. Cunnington served as an honorary advisor to the collection.

title: Breakthrough Prize

text:
The Breakthrough Prizes are a set of international awards bestowed in three categories by the Breakthrough Prize Board in recognition of scientific advances. The awards are part of several "Breakthrough" initiatives founded and funded by Yuri Milner and his wife Julia Milner, along with Breakthrough Initiatives and Breakthrough Junior Challenge.

Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics
Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics
Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences

The Breakthrough Prizes were founded by Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Anne Wojcicki. The Prizes have been sponsored by the personal foundations established by Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, Ma Huateng, Jack Ma, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Anne Wojcicki. Committees of previous laureates choose the winners from candidates nominated in a process that is online and open to the public.

Laureates receive $3 million each in prize money. They attend a televised award ceremony designed to celebrate their achievements and inspire the next generation of scientists. As part of the ceremony schedule, they also engage in a program of lectures and discussions. Those that go on to make fresh discoveries remain eligible for future Breakthrough Prizes.

Trophy
The trophy was created by artist Olafur Eliasson. Like much of Eliasson's work, the sculpture explores the common ground between art and science. It is molded into the shape of a toroid, recalling natural forms found from black holes and galaxies to seashells and coils of DNA.

title: George Hunter (speedway rider)

text:
George Hunter (30 January 1939 – 11 May 1999) was a motorcycle speedway rider. He rode for the Edinburgh Monarchs and the Wolverhampton Wolves.

Career
Hunter's early career was on grass. He joined Motherwell Speedway team in 1958 and moved to Edinburgh Monarchs in 1960. Known as the "Ladybank Express", he rode in 360 league matches for the Monarchs over his lifetime career.

In 1963 he was leading the 1962 world champion Peter Craven in the final race of a challenge match between Edinburgh and Belle Vue at Old Meadowbank when his engine seized. After taking evasive action Craven may have clipped Hunter's wheel before crashing through the fence and suffering fatal injuries.

Hunter narrowly missed out on being the 1963 Provincial League Riders Champion, suffering an engine failure while leading in the final. Ivan Mauger took the title.

Hunter was a British Finalist in 1966, 1967 and 1976 and gained 17 England caps, 3 Scotland caps and 16 British caps.

Having been part of the Midland Cup winning Wolverhampton Wolves in 1973, he might have expected to win it again in 1975 when Wolves only lost to Oxford Rebels by 2 points away and might have expected to win at home and thereby win on aggregate. However, George was not present for the second leg at Monmore Green, Wolves lost at home by 1 point and on aggregate by 3.

He retired in 1983.

Personal life
Hunter was born in Ladybank, Fife, Scotland. He and his wife, Barbara, have a daughter, Natalie. Also two children Scott and Gillian from his first marriage. He died of cancer in 1999.

title: Himberrong

text:
Himberrong is a clan of the Anēwan (also 'Nganyaywana') Aboriginal tribe of what is now known as the New England Tablelands region in northeast New South Wales. Part of their traditional land, once an Aboriginal reserve called Inglebah, is now a heritage Aboriginal Place.

Territory
The territory of the Himberrong clan stretches from the Moonbi Range in the west (adjoining Gamilaraay), past Yarrowitch and Kunderang in the east (adjoining Dunghutti), and from Nowendoc in the south (adjoining Biripi) to north of Walcha (adjoining Inuwon). Border disputes over the Moonbi Range were common between the Himberrong and a clan of the Gamilaraay.

The main camp of the Himberrong was on the bank of the Muluerindie/Macdonald River about two miles upriver from where the  area of Inglebah now stands. Inglebah was declared an Aboriginal reserve by the NSW Aborigines Protection Board in 1893, and is now preserved as a heritage Aboriginal Place. Inglebah is the Anaiwan word for whirlpools of crayfish; the swamps and gullies throughout the Inglebah district are perforated with thousands of crayfish holes. Inglebah was home to 50 or families until the 1940s, when most of them moved away. The land was handed over to the Aboriginal Land Trust in 1975, and later to the Amaroo Local Aboriginal Land Council. Aboriginal community gatherings are often held at Inglebah.

"Traditionally Aboriginal people camped around Inglebah for fishing and ceremonial activities. Inglebah was favored because it was a sheltered, secure camping spot nestled between hills and the banks of the MacDonald River. It has a permanent water supply from the springs in the area, and various animals could be hunted there."

Language
The Himberrong clan spoke a dialect of the Anaiwan language. An elicitation of Anaiwan words was recorded on tape by Harry Wright in 1963 "as they were spoken by tribesmen coming into Armidale from Inglebah".

History
At the time of first contact, the Himberrong clan numbered around 600. Each year when winter was approaching, the clan would leave their camp at Inglebah, always heading east in the direction of the Macleay River (Dunghutti territory), but they would not push too far over the Great Dividing Range. On returning from their winter trips, the clan would have a great corroboree.

Inglebah Massacre
In the late 1800s, colonists used explosives to massacre the Himberrong clan at their main camp. The death toll is unknown.

"There were pieces of burning wood of all sizes hurled hundreds of feet into the air...the shrieks of natives could be heard as they fled in all directions...what became of them for the next six months was never known...they disappeared completely from their usual hunting grounds..."

title: Frieda Loehmann

text:
Frieda Loehmann (1873–1962) was an American businesswoman who founded the off-price department store chain Loehmann's.

Frieda Mueller was born in October 1873. When she was young, her family moved from Hoboken, New Jersey to Cincinnati, Ohio. She met flautist Charles Loehmann at the age of 19 and the pair married in the early 1890s. After his flute-playing career ended due to lip paralysis, he opened a haberdashery and Frieda had her first experience merchandising. The business did well at first, but went into bankruptcy following a move. In 1916, Frieda took a buying job in New York and the family moved to Brooklyn. She got the idea to sell samples and surplus apparel at discount prices and in 1920 started the first Loehmann's store in their Brooklyn home.

Loehmann purchased odd lots, samples, and overstock from fashion houses on Seventh Avenue. The business eventually earned $3 million per year.

Loehmann had three children, Charles, Marjorie, and William.

title: HD 106906

text:
HD 106906 is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Crux. It is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, having a combined apparent visual magnitude of 7.80. The distance to this system is approximately 337 light years based on parallax, and it is receding from the Sun with a radial velocity of +10 km/s. It is a member of the Lower Centaurus–Crux group of the Scorpius–Centaurus OB association of co-moving stars.

This is a double-lined spectroscopic binary system consisting of two F-type main-sequence stars with similar masses and a matching stellar classification of F5 V. Their orbital period is less than 100 days.

Planetary system
A distant circumbinary planet—HD 106906 b—is orbiting the pair at a projected separation of  with a period of at least 3,000 years. An infrared excess around the binary is coming from a circumstellar debris disk that is being viewed edge-on. This has a pronounced asymmetrical shape, extending 120 AU on the east side and out to 550 AU to the west. Planetary orbit is inclined to the debris disk by 39 degrees, and planet itself is visible nearly pole-on, having a large axial tilt.

title: AMD TrueAudio

text:
TrueAudio is the name given to AMD's ASIC intended to serve as dedicated co-processor for the calculations of computationally expensive advanced audio signal processing, like e.g. convolution reverberation effects and 3D audio effects. TrueAudio is integrated into some of the AMD GPUs and APUs available since 2013.

Overview
TrueAudio is a DSP for audio based on Cadence Tensilica HiFi EP DSP with Tensilica Xtensa SP float support.

AMD claimed that a few simple audio effects can use up to 14% of the CPU. Audiokinetic claimed that it is up to 10%. Independent software vendors (ISV), such as game developers, can use what is called a Wwise audio plugin to offload such computations to the TrueAudio DSPs. The on-die TrueAudio DSPs provide a better "silicon area to computing power" ratio and "power consumption to computing power" ratio for audio processing than the CPU, effectively making it an audio acceleration unit. Any additional benefits of the TrueAudio DSPs, such as "better effects", have been severely criticized.

On 18 March 2014, AnandTech evaluated AMD TrueAudio using the Thief video game.

True Audio Next
A new version of TrueAudio, TrueAudio Next, was released with the Radeon RX 400 series GPUs in 2016. TrueAudio Next utilizes the GPU to simulate audio physics. The move from a dedicated DSP to GPGPU breaks compatibility with the previous TrueAudio implementation. The TrueAudio Next SDK was released as open source through AMD's GPUOpen suite in August 2016. It also clarified that TrueAudio Next uses the GPU's ray-casting technology to do the audio computation, and can also reserve GCN compute units for lower latency.

Software support

AMD TrueAudio enables dedicated digital signal processing (DSP). Such dedicated audio processing horsepower is specifically for generating immersive soundscapes and saves CPU cycles that can be used for other game processing tasks such as AI and Physics.

The video games Murdered: Soul Suspect, Star Citizen, Thief and Lichdom: Battlemage (uses CryEngine) can be configured to use AMD TrueAudio if present.

There is an audio plug-in for Audiokinetic's Wwise (Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine) to off-load computation to the TrueAudio DSP(s). Wwise is available for Linux, OS X, Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One et al.

GenAudio's AstoundSound, a highly optimized collection of advanced DSP C/C++ software available as a library or a plugin for augmenting real-time audio engines on Linux, OS X, Windows as well as Android and iOS, can make use of AMD TrueAudio. AstoundSound is also wrapped for several plug-in formats, such as RTAS and Wwise and has been integrated into several DSP chips. AstoundSound is described as fully programmable audio engine.

Support for True Audio Next was added to the Steam Audio API in February 2018. The latest version was updated Nov 2022, and includes support for Unity, Unreal, and FMOD.

Driver support
AMD has retired the original AMD TrueAudio Technology support from Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.40, and introduced a new way for developers to support AMD TrueAudio Technology like features with AMD TrueAudio Next. There is a beta cross-platform support since end of 2019 and in 2021 it's still a pull request but now this branch configured as default and compiles on Windows, Linux, and MacOS using CMake.

Availability
AMD TrueAudio is found on-die of select AMD graphics cards and APUs. A die can house multiple AMD TrueAudio DSP cores, each having 32KiB instruction and data caches and 8KiB of scratchpad memory for local operation.

AMD TrueAudio SIP blocks are found on the dies of some GPUs of the AMD Radeon Rx 200 Series; namely the Radeon R7 260, Radeon R7 260X, Radeon R9 285, Radeon R9 290, Radeon R9 290X and the Radeon R9 295X2, and in Kaveri and Carrizo-based APUs. TrueAudio is also supported by the PlayStation 4 hardware.

An I²S solution is also supported for SOCs.

AMD True Audio Next is supported on RX 5000, 6000, and 7000 series GPUs.

title: Chord diagram (information visualization)

text:
A chord diagram is a graphical method of displaying the inter-relationships between data in a matrix. The data are arranged radially around a circle with the relationships between the data points typically drawn as arcs connecting the data.

The format can be aesthetically pleasing, making it a popular choice in the world of data visualization.

The primary use of chord diagrams is to show the flows or connections between several entities (called nodes). Each entity is represented by a fragment (often colored or pattered) along the circumference of the circle. Arcs are drawn between entities to show flows (and exchanges in economics). The thickness of the arc is proportional to the significance of the flow.

Name

Chord diagrams get their name from terminology used in geometry. A chord of a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle. Chord diagrams are also known as radial network diagrams and may sometimes be referred to as a type of circular layout.

Hierarchical edge bundling

While a small amount of data could be represented in a circular diagram using straight lines to show the interconnections, a diagram featuring numerous lines would quickly become illegible.
To reduce the visual complexity, chord diagrams employ a technique called hierarchical edge bundling.

Common usages

Chord diagrams are useful for showing relationships between entities and their relative magnitudes in comparison to alternative arcs. As a result, chord diagrams are popular in migration studies, economic flows, and genome studies. They have also been used to highlight unexplored relationships to help address the problem of filter bubbles.

External links

 Hierarchical edge bundling is the technique by which the lines that connect nodes are grouped together to reduce visual clutter.

title: Jurij Kohl

text:
Jurij Kohl (born May 17, 1975 in Jambyl, Kazakh SSR) is a retired amateur German Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's lightweight category. He achieved top five finishes in the 60-kg division at the European Championships, and also represented his nation Germany at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Before his competitive sporting career ended in 2012, Kohl trained full-time as a member of the wrestling club for KSV Köllerbach and ASV Mainz 88, under his personal coach Frank Hartmann. Born and raised in the former Soviet Union, Kohl also held a dual citizenship to compete for Germany in numerous wrestling tournaments, including the Olympic Games.

Kohl qualified for his naturalized German squad in the men's 60 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by receiving a berth and rounding out the top ten spot from the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in Créteil, France. He lost two straight matches each to Russian wrestler and two-time Olympian Aleksey Shvetsov (0–7) and China's Ai Linuer with a 2–3 sudden death decision, leaving him on the bottom of the pool and finishing nineteenth overall in the final standings.
