Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA) is a program of the Government of Canada that provides financial assistance to provincial and territorial governments following large-scale natural disasters.

Provinces can apply to the program for assistance when eligible costs exceed one dollar per capita, at which point the federal government will share 50% of the cost. If the costs exceed $3 per capita this rises to 75%, and when costs reach $5 per capita, the federal government is required to pay 90 per cent of the costs.

Since its inception in 1970, a 2011–12 report stated that the program had paid out $2 billion in post-disaster assistance. Following the 2013 Alberta floods, $2 billion was earmarked for the province and the government sought a $689-million increase in funding for the program from parliament.

The program has come under criticism for favouring some provinces over others, and for not including public health emergencies in its remit.

Events that have received funding include 1996 Saguenay Flood, 1997 Red River flood, 2010 Hurricane Igor in Newfoundland and the 2011 Assiniboine River Flood.

Early life
Born at Altnanaghan, Newtownhamilton, County Armagh, he was educated privately and at University College London, where he studied chemistry under Alexander William Williamson. In 1846, he became an assistant in the Inland Revenue Laboratory at Somerset House, established to carry out the provisions of the Tobacco Act 1842; and was successively deputy principal from 1867 to 1874, and principal from 1874 till his resignation in 1894.

Career
The work of the laboratory was extended to alcoholic products; and when the Food and Drugs Act 1872 was amended in 1875, Bell was made chemical referee when disputed analyses of food were brought to court. Bell elaborated methods for analysing chemically foods within the operation of the Act. He was also consulting chemist to the Indian government, 1869 to 1894.

Bell's work was recognized in 1884 by his election as Fellow of the Royal Society, and he obtained the degree of Ph.D. from the University of Erlangen in 1882 and received the hon. D.Sc. from the Royal University of Ireland (1886). He was made C.B. in 1889. He was a member of the Playfair committee on British and foreign spirits, and served as president of the Institute of Chemistry from 1888 to 1891.

Works
Bell's researches into grape and malt ferments were published in the Excise Officers' Manual (1865) and in the Journal of the Chemical Society in 1870. Many of his results were written up in The Analysis and Adulteration of Foods (3 pts. 1881–3; German translation, Berlin, 1882–5). He published also Chemistry of Tobacco (1887).

Family
Bell married in 1858 Ellen (died 1900), daughter of W. Reece of Chester, and left one son, Sir William James Bell, who was alderman of the London county council (1903–7).

title: Okka Disk

text:
Okka Disk is an independent American jazz record company and label founded in Chicago by Bruno Johnson in 1994.

Okka began as a rock music label, but Johnson soon changed direction to record free jazz. Vintage Duets are the unreleased tapes recorded in 1980 by saxophonist Fred Anderson with drummer Steve McCall, and Caffeine, a trio featuring Chicago scene instigator Ken Vandermark. These were the albums that started the label. Okka Disk released many key early works by Ken Vandermark and was partly responsible for Fred Anderson's late-career renaissance.

The label also recorded European free jazz musicians such as Peter Brötzmann, documenting his transatlantic Chicago Octet and Tentet over ten albums. Since 2009, it organizes the Okka Fest, held in Milwaukee, where Johnson moved in 2002.

title: Shūhei Takahashi

text:
is a professional Japanese baseball player. He plays infielder for the Chunichi Dragons.

Early career
Takahashi started playing baseball from grade 1 at Fujisawa Zengyo Elementary school as a pitcher. He started to play with local club, Shonan Boys from his Fujisawa Zengyo Middle School days  and as a middle-school junior experienced the final of the Giants Cup in 2007. For high school, Takahashi had his sights set on playing for Yokohama High School but received an invitation to play for Tokai University Kofu High School by coach Junichi Izumi, which he accepted. Ryo Watanabe, currently of the Nippon Ham Fighters, played at the same school but was two years Takahashi's junior.

In spring of his first year of high school, he was deployed as a third-baseman and 4th in the batting line-up, becoming a regular for the team. From autumn, however, Takahashi was played as a short-stop. In spring of his second year in a practice game against Kashiwa Municipal High School, Takahashi recorded 2 grand slams in one inning. In spring of his third and final year, he contributed to victory in the prefectural tournament, hitting .471 along the way. In the final of the tournament, Takahashi recorded what would be a Yamanashi Prefecture record with his 57th home run. In the summer, his team bombed out of the Yamanashi Prefectural qualifying tournament for the Koshien, but was then selected for the Japanese representative team to play in the 2011 Asian Junior Baseball Championship. In 5 games and 20 at-bats, Takahashi smashed 10 base hits, registering 13 RBIs. In the final against the Republic of Korea, he would hit a 2-run homer that would make up his 71st home run as a high schooler, the 9th most in history for a high schooler, as well as claim tournament MVP honors.

In the 2011 NPB draft, Takahashi was the first pick for the Orix Buffaloes, Tokyo Yakult Swallows and the Chunichi Dragons where the Dragons won the rights to negotiate for the youngster's contract. He became the first high schooler in NPB draft history to have 3 teams select him as their first pick despite not having Koshien experience. On 25 November at a hotel within Yokohama city, Shūhei signed a provisional contract worth 12 million yen per year with a sign-on bonus of 100 million yen. This became the highest wage ever given to a high schooler in Chunichi history.

Takahashi was given the number 31, which was, up until 2009, worn by first-baseman Masahiko Morino.

Professional career

Chunichi Dragons

2012-2015

On June 17, Shūhei hit his first pro home run, the winner, at the Kyocera Dome off the pitching of then Orix Buffaloes righty, Hayato Terahara. He became the youngest drafted high school hitter to achieve the feat at 18 years, 4 months old and the first high school rookie to hit a homer for the Dragons since Masahiko Morino in 1997 and 8th overall. It was also only the second time that a maiden homer by a high school rookie became the winning run, the last time being by Morimichi Takagi in 1960. He would also rake 7 home runs to claim home-run champion honours in the Western League.

In 2013, due to an injury to Dominican 3rd baseman, Hector Luna, Takahashi was given the chance to state his credentials in his preferred position for the last half of the season. On August 1 in a game against the Hanshin Tigers at Koshien Stadium, Takahashi became the youngest player in Chunichi history to hit a come from behind grand slam. In the off-season, Takahashi switched numbers with outfielder Kei Nomoto with the young infielder taking on the number 9.

With regular all-star short-stop Hirokazu Ibata leaving the team for the Yomiuri Giants at the end of the 2013 season and Luna and Morino set at 3rd and 1st base respectively, Takahashi was given a chance in the pre-season to solidify his spot as a regular at Ibata's former position. However, due to poor batting form, he did not make the opening day roster with Anderson Hernandez being preferred over him.  Following that set-back, Takahashi was deployed in the Western league at either third base or short-stop, and, as with the previous year, made his return to the first team with an injury to Luna. On July 7, he was promoted to the first team to be the replacement third-baseman and on the July 14, hit his first home run of the season against the Yokohama DeNA BayStars while homering again against the Giants at Nagoya Dome on July 25. On August 12, Takahashi registered his 8th home run of the season at Gifu Prefectural Baseball Stadium with an out of the park home run.

Once again in the off-season, Shūhei had his number changed, this time to the famed number of Dragons legend, Kazuyoshi Tatsunami the number 3. (The number had been vacated by the departing Daiki Yoshikawa; Takahashi's 9 was given to the newly drafted Shun Ishikawa)

In 2015, Takahashi experienced a poor season with the bat, averaging only .208 and as such was dropped from the first team in July, not to return for the rest of the season. In the off-season he along with team mates Tomohiro Hamada, Iori Katsura, Shota Tomonaga and Junki Kishimoto were loaned to the Taiwanese winter league where Shūhei averaged .254 with 2 home runs.

Breaking-out and captaincy (2016-2019)

With the release of Hector Luna in the 2015 off-season, Shūhei was all but guaranteed third base and took his place in the starting day line-up, batting 7, against the Hanshin Tigers. After Ryosuke Hirata's injury early in the season, due to superb batting form, Shūhei was elevated to number 3 in the line-up. Up until the end of April, he was averaging .276 with 3 homers and 13 RBIs. However on April 30, Shūhei broke a bone in his wrist while playing against the Hiroshima Carp where he had to be substituted mid-game and as such was de-registered from the first team the following day.

On July 28, after spending time with the farm team recuperating, Takahashi made his return to the Dragons line-up against the Yokohama DeNA Baystars batting 6th in the line-up, fielding at third base. He contributed to the 15-2 victory with 2 hits and 4 RBIs to mark a tremendous return to the starting line-up against his hometown team.

2016 ended with Takahashi touching personal best totals for season at-bats, RBIs, hits and OBP.

Shūhei started the 2017 season on with the farm team, but was called up on 4 May quickly to replace Alex Guerrero at third-base against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp following the Cuban slugger's 2 errors the previous game. Shūhei batted 6th fielding at third base. On May 18 after achieving only 2 hits in 18 plate appearances and averaging .111, Shūhei was dropped from the first team.

With Nobumasa Fukuda entrenched at Takahashi's preferred position at third base, he was re-trained to play second base during spring camp. On May 31, against the Orix Buffaloes, Shūhei tied an NPB record with 4 doubles in consecutive plate appearances. Shūhei was able to be a mainstay throughout the season recording a personal best of 128 games played and for the first time passed the regulation number of at-bats to be considered for end of season awards. Shūhei also recorded double-digit homeruns for the first time in his career.

On January 16, it was announced that Takahashi would be the team captain for the 2019 season.

Personal

Shūhei enjoys shopping and his favourite food is ramen.

Due to the influence of his older brother, he is a fan of Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi. His brother is a former member of the Tokai University Sagami High School baseball team.

Growing up, Takahashi was a keen admirer of Giants and New York Yankees legend, Hideki Matsui. When he was drafted by the Dragons, he made mention of his respect and admiration for his new team-mate, Masahiko Morino.

Since 2014 he has been sponsored by Adidas.

Shūhei shares the same hometown as teammate Shinnosuke Ogasawara and the two attended the same elementary school and played at the same junior baseball side Shonan Boys. They played together in a local park as boys and their homes are said to be separated by about 10 minutes walk. When Shuhei turned professional with the Dragons, it was the then middle-school student Ogasawara that presented him with a celebratory bouquet.

On January 4, 2017, it was announced that Takahashi had married local Aichi office worker, Yuri, following a 4-year relationship, with plans to hold a wedding ceremony at the end of the 2017 season.

On 27 November 2018, Shūhei became a father for the first time with the birth of a daughter.

title: Tivantinib

text:
Tivantinib (ARQ197; by Arqule, Inc.) is an experimental small molecule anti-cancer drug. It is a bisindolylmaleimide that binds to the dephosphorylated MET kinase in vitro. (MET is a growth factor receptor.) Tivantinib is being tested clinically as a highly selective MET inhibitor. However, the mechanism of action of tivantinib is still unclear.

Tivantinib displays cytotoxic activity via molecular mechanisms that are independent from its ability to bind MET, notably tubulin binding, which likely underlies tivantinib cytotoxicity.

Possible applications include non-small-cell lung carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and oesophageal cancer.

In 2017, it was announced that a phase III clinical trial for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma had failed to meet the primary endpoint.

Production

Actress Vanessa Leigh signed on to star in the film six days before production began. The film was shot entirely in Rhode Island.

Release
Almost Human debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2013. The film was released on February 21, 2014 by IFC Midnight.

Reception
Critical reception for Almost Human has been mixed. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Almost Human holds a 45% approval rating based on 22 reviews, with an average rating of 5.50/10. The critical consensus reads "Almost Human lands with an impressively grisly B-movie splatter, but a fatally flawed screenplay undermines much of its impact." On Metacritic, the film holds an average score of 40 out of 100 based on 6reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

The Torontoist rated the film at 3 1/2 stars out of 5. Much of the criticism centered on issues that Fearnet's Scott Weinberg considered "'first-timer' problems", such as the movie's acting, repetition, and slowness in the second act. However, as a whole the reviewers generally enjoyed the film and believed that Begos did show future potential. In contrast, ReelFilm was more critical of the film and stated that while it had a "watchable vibe", the movie "squandered the promise of its setup to become just another generic, shot-on-a-shoestring horror effort."

title: Christie Hospital

text:
The Christie Hospital in Manchester, England, is one of the largest cancer treatment centres in Europe. It is managed by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

History
The hospital was established by a committee under the chairmanship of Richard Christie, a lawyer and academic, as the Cancer Pavilion and Home for Incurables. It opened at a site in Lorne Street off Oxford Road in 1892, at a site in Chorlton-upon-Medlock now occupied by Manchester Royal Infirmary. The name of the pavilion was changed by the addition of "Christie" in 1901 after Christie himself had died. In 1929 it had 34 beds and was resorted to by patients from northern England and north Wales; it was then the only provincial hospital solely for cancer treatment. Associated with it was the Radium Institute (founded in 1914, which moved to Nelson Street in 1921). In 1928, the hospital had 14 beds, 374 in-patients and over 7,000 out-patients who were given radium treatment.

Together with the Holt Institute, the Christie Hospital moved to a purpose-built facility in Withington, which was officially opened by Lord Derby in 1932.

The combined facility joined the National Health Service in 1948, and it is now one of the largest cancer treatment centres of its kind in Europe.

In April 2017, a fire, caused by welding work underway on the roof, burned down part of the Paterson research building. There were no casualties and the majority of the research work housed in that part of the building was saved. In April 2018, plans were revealed to build a new cancer research centre on the site of the former Paterson building, due to open in early 2021.

In 2012 it was announced that a new proton beam therapy centre would be built at the hospital. The machines were delivered in 2017, and the first patients were treated in December 2018.

title: Hochstein (rocks)

text:
The Hochstein, near the little southwest Palatine town of Dahn in southwest Germany, is a rock formation that is very popular with sports climbers and walkers.

Structure and location
The Hochstein (345 m) belongs to the many bunter sandstone rock formations that are typical of the Wasgau, a region that covers the southern part of the Palatine Forest and the northern part of the Vosges. Because the region of Dahn is especially rich in such landforms, it is known as the Dahn Rock Country (Dahner Felsenland). The Hochstein - like the other rock outcrops of the region - is made of a harder rock that has partly withstood erosion over the centuries. The entire massif runs for 1½ km east of Dahn across the Wieslauter stream and is heavily subdivided.

Especially striking is the Hochsteinnadel ("Hochstein Needle") at the western tip of the massif, near St. Michael's Chapel. Next is the Gratturm, followed by the main Hochsteingrat ridge itself. From here there are outlying spurs running northeast and south, of which the Haferfels stands out.

Flora
The remains of ancient juniper bushes are especially valuable, as are  luminescent mosses in small corners of the Hochsteingrat.

Features
In some places the leachate has created especially delicate weathering patterns.

Towards the end of the Second World War, families in Dahn sought refuge for a long time under overhanging rocks. Traces of their emergency shelter are still visible.

At the foot of the Hochstein is Dahn Cemetery which, with its 2,400 graves, is one of the largest war cemeteries in Germany.

title: Nadezhda (cockroach)

text:
Nadezhda  (, Hope) was a cockroach that was sent into space during the Foton-M 3 bio-satellite flight between September 14 and 26, 2007 by Russian scientists. Scientists monitoring the mission from Voronezh announced that Nadezhda had successfully produced 33 offspring on Earth, these 33 insects being the first earthlings known to be conceived in conditions of weightlessness. Nadezhda and the rest of the insects were traveling inside a sealed special container, and a video-camera was filming the whole process.

What was considered unnatural for the newborn cockroaches was that their carapace had darkened in colour much earlier, in comparison with natural-condition cockroaches who develop that darker tone later in their life cycle. But the rest of the conditions and capacities of the cockroaches remained normal. Later it was reported that Nadezhda's grandchildren, born to one of the space-born insects, had given birth on Earth to normal cockroaches, with a life cycle and development similar to that of any other cockroach.

title: Intelsat III F-3

text:
Intelsat III F-3 was a geostationary communications satellite operated by Intelsat. Launched in 1969 it was intended for operations over the Pacific Ocean; however, it spent most of its service life over the Indian Ocean at a longitude of 63 degrees east.

The third of eight Intelsat III satellites to be launched, Intelsat III F-3 was built by TRW. It was a  spacecraft, with its mass reducing to  by entry into service as it burned propellant to reach its final orbit. The satellite carried an SVM-2 apogee motor for propulsion and was equipped with two transponders powered by body-mounted solar cells generating 183 watts of power. It was designed for 5 years of service life.

The launch of Intelsat III F-3 made use of a Delta M rocket flying from Launch Complex 17A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The launch, which was conducted by NASA, took place at 00:39:00 UTC on February 6, 1969, with the spacecraft entering a geosynchronous transfer orbit. Shortly after launch, Intelsat III F-3 fired its apogee motor to achieve geostationary orbit.

Intended to be operated over the Pacific Ocean at a longitude of 174° east, Intelsat III F-3 was moved to the less important Indian Ocean slot at 63° east after only three months in orbit due to concerns regarding its reliability. The satellite was only regarded as partially operable; however, it remained in service until April 1979, before being decommissioned in December of that year.

At the end of its service life, Intelsat III F-3 was raised into a higher orbit to reduce the probability of it colliding with an operational spacecraft. As of February 3, 2014 it remains in orbit, with a perigee of , an apogee of , inclination of 18.63 degrees and an orbital period of 28.25 hours.

Derby Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust  was a former NHS trust that ran Royal Derby Hospital and the London Road Community Hospital, both in Derby, together with outpatient and diagnostic services in a range of community hospitals, health centres and GP surgeries across southern Derbyshire, until its merger in July 2018 with Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, when it created University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.

The trust had a substantial Private Finance Initiative contract. Innisfree Ltd, ISS Mediclean and Skanska were the partners. Its main hospital, Royal Derby Hospital was built at a cost of £340 million. The repayments on the scheme, £39m a year for 40 years, plus inflation, are set to be well in excess of £1.5bn.

Dr. Nigel Sturrock was appointed medical director of the trust in March 2014.

In February 2015, it was reported that Chief Executive Sue James had cashed in her pension entitlement by "retiring" on 30 March 2014 for 24 hours before being rehired. In response the trust has denied that any rules were broken.

The trust merged with Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to form University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust in 2018.

Performance

The trust had a backlog of 7,200 patients waiting for treatment in April 2015, with 1582 waiting over 18 weeks for treatment.  The trust plans to send 250 to Nuffield Health Derby Hospital at an estimated cost of £1.25m.  More may be sent to Care UK’s Barlborough Treatment Centre.

It expects a deficit of £29 million for 2015/6.

The trust produced a 117 page investigation in December 2015 of the Fit and proper person test in respect of Sue James' former employment at Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust. The report by two independent barristers cost £200,000. It completely exonerates her and  describes her performance as chief executive as exemplary and the allegations by Dr David Drew as "misguided". According to the barristers the behaviour of the Care Quality Commission prolonged the investigation and increased its costs.

title: Morus celtidifolia

text:
Morus celtidifolia, the Texas mulberry, is a plant species native to South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States, ranging from Argentina north as far as Arizona and Oklahoma. In the US, it grows in canyons and on slopes, usually near streams, from  in elevation. It is very often referred to as "Morus microphylla," including in Flora of North America, but recent studies suggest that these names are synonymous with M. celtidifolia holding priority.

Morus celtidifolia is a shrub or tree, sometimes reaching  in height. It has much smaller leaves than the other two species in the US (M. alba and M. rubra), the blade usually less than  long. The edible fruits are red, purple, or nearly black, and are consumed by wildlife, and, historically, by Native Americans. In ancient (probably prehistoric) times, the Havasupai people introduced the species to the Grand Canyon.

title: Unreal (TV series)

text:
Unreal (stylized as UnREAL) is an American drama television series that premiered on Lifetime on June 1, 2015. It stars Shiri Appleby as a young reality television producer pushed by her unscrupulous boss (Constance Zimmer) to swallow her integrity and do anything it takes to drum up salacious show content. The show was created by Marti Noxon and Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, and was inspired by Shapiro's award-winning independent short film Sequin Raze.

On July 28, 2017, it was announced that Unreal has been renewed for a shortened fourth season of eight episodes. The fourth season completed production in January 2018 before the third season had aired. By May 22, 2018, the fourth season had been acquired by Hulu. The streaming service distributed the series exclusively as a "Hulu Original" in the United States for a set period of time before the episodes aired on Lifetime. On July 16, 2018, the fourth season was released on Hulu and it was confirmed that the season would be the series' last.

Plot
Producer Rachel Goldberg returns to Everlasting, a popular dating show, after a breakdown. With a reputation to rebuild and executive producer Quinn King breathing down her neck, Rachel must pull out all the stops in what she does best: manipulating the contestants to create the outrageous drama that viewers expect.

Cast and characters

Main

Crew
 Shiri Appleby as Rachel Goldberg, a producer on Everlasting who is brought back to the show by executive producer Quinn despite Rachel's breakdown during the previous season. Though conflicted by how she must lie to and manipulate the contestants, Rachel is a "closer" who thinks fast on her feet and knows exactly what needs to be done to create drama on the show. Meanwhile, she is drawn back to her ex-boyfriend Jeremy and finds herself getting close to the show's suitor Adam, but she later loses relationships to both of them. Rachel is later promoted to supervising producer, which is short-lived as Coleman is hired by the network as the new showrunner.
 Constance Zimmer as Quinn King, Everlasting scheming, demanding executive producer who pushes boundaries on the show to maximize ratings. She is having an affair with Chet, but their dysfunctional relationship is strained by his marriage and their work. She later gets promoted to showrunner until Chet returns, and their conflict results in the network hiring Coleman as the show's new EP and showrunner.
 Craig Bierko as Chet Wilton, the eccentric and drug-using creator of Everlasting who is having a volatile affair with Quinn. His immaturity, vulgarity and callousness have given him a keen eye for what the audience wants, but his tremendous success has only fueled his self-destructive self-indulgence. He gets banned from work for his bad behavior behind-the-scenes, but later returns after adopting a healthier lifestyle, putting himself into direct conflict with Quinn. He also joins the men's liberation movement, and enlists Jeremy as part of his cause. The following season he starts dating a swimsuit model named Crystal.
 Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman as Jay Carter, a gay producer on Everlasting who is initially one of Rachel's only friends. He soon crosses Quinn, and becomes more willing to step over the line in order to ingratiate himself to Chet. He later becomes jealous of Rachel for her job promotion, and grows frustrated by competing against a newly promoted Madison. He later produces his own show, Passport to Dance.
 Josh Kelly as Jeremy Caner (seasons 1–3), a camera operator (later promoted to director of photography) on Everlasting, and Rachel's ex-boyfriend. Engaged to the show's make-up artist, Lizzie, at the beginning of the series, he still has unresolved feelings for Rachel. He briefly gets back together with Rachel, but breaks up with her after he finds out that she cheated on him with Adam. He returns to work on the new season a bitter and angry drunk over having his heart broken by Rachel. He later kills Coleman and Yael in a car crash after he rigs Coleman's car, so that they wouldn't expose the show's past crimes committed by the producers. He returns to work the next season clean and sober after going to rehab and taking anger management classes. He later leaves at the end of the sixteenth season of Everlasting to leave behind the toxic environment of the show.
 Genevieve Buechner as Madison (seasons 3-4, recurring seasons 1–2), Quinn's meek production assistant who had oral sex with Chet and is later promoted to junior producer on Everlasting, and later to Junior Vice President of Non-Scripted at the network, working under Fiona Berlin. Through the rapid progression in her career, she quickly learns to become more confident and conniving to get what she wants. As Vice President, she also produces her own show, #Adulting.
 Brennan Elliott as Graham (seasons 3-4, recurring seasons 1–2), the host of Everlasting.
 Aline Elasmar as Shia (season 1), a producer on Everlasting who has a professional rivalry with Rachel. Initially earnest with her take on contestant storylines, she soon learns that she has to be more ruthless and manipulative—like Rachel—to compete and succeed. To this end, she gets Maya drunk and tampers with Mary's mood stabilizing medication, but loses control of the outcome. She is sent home after the last of her assigned contestants quits.
 Michael Rady as Coleman Wasserman (season 2), an executive producer and new showrunner on Everlasting who was a documentary filmmaker prior to joining the show. He and Rachel become a couple and briefly date, but she worries when Coleman makes it clear he wants to destroy the show by publicly exposing its past crimes committed by the producers. He is later killed (along with Yael) by Jeremy when he rigs his car that crashes on the road.
Francois Arnaud as Tommy Castelli (season 4), a devious new producer on Everlasting who is brought in to handle the new games format for the show's All Stars season. He proves to be a match for Rachel's underhanded manipulation techniques, and eventually starts a relationship with her, leading to their engagement. In the series finale, Quinn scapegoats him as a rogue producer to protect Rachel.

Suitor
 Freddie Stroma as Adam Cromwell (season 1; guest star season 2), a rich British playboy and the "suitor" on Everlasting. He is reluctant to do the show, but is hoping the publicity will improve his "bad boy" reputation and help with his business ventures. As Adam becomes savvy to the producers' manipulations and what will make the show "better", he alternately plays along, and does some kindnesses to individual contestants. He also begins to develop an attraction to Rachel and has an affair with her, but it ultimately ends in heartbreak when he later finds out from her boss Quinn about her fragile mental health, and she convinces him to end his affair with Rachel. In season 2, Quinn briefly brings back Adam to participate as a consultant to the show's new suitor Darius in an episode on the new season of Everlasting, and to try to ruin Rachel's budding romantic relationship with Coleman and to get back together with her, but is unsuccessful at doing so when she does not want to get back together with him after he broke her heart.

She almost leaves Everlasting when her father dies, but she is coaxed back by Rachel with feigned assurances that she will likely win. She eventually wins Adam's heart and gets engaged to him, but later leaves him at the altar on their televised wedding day after she finds out from Rachel about Adam's affair with her off the set.

 Ashley Scott as Mary Newhouse (season 1), one of the oldest contestants who is a single mother with an abusive ex-husband. Quinn, finding Mary uninteresting, pushes her to step up her game, not knowing that Shia has tampered with Mary's mood stabilizing medication and given her alcohol. Bipolar and struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, Mary begins to unravel under the pressure put on her by the manipulations of Rachel, Quinn, Shia, and Chet. She later commits suicide during the production of the show.

Concept and characterizationUnreal is set behind the scenes of Everlasting, a fictional reality dating series operating similarly to The Bachelor. Dalene Rovenstine of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "UnREAL has comic moments, but is also twisty and dark in a way you hope isn’t reflected by real-life reality shows." According to Noxon, the series is based on what really happens in the world of reality show production. Shapiro says, "Viewers want to believe in fairy tales, and those reality shows tap into that want. Our show dismantles that want." Adds Noxon, "We thought uncovering the behind-the-scenes machinations would make great stories, and we wanted to comment on the kind of bully culture of a lot of reality television." Shapiro says of the genre:

Writing for the Associated Press, Frazier Moore described the show's dynamic:

Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called Quinn and Rachel "architects of destruction—ostensibly of the people on camera, but really of themselves." Moore noted that, despite the contestants' expectations, "the game is fixed and the matchmaking premise is only a pretext ... [the contestants] are pawns in the Everlasting chess game, with Quinn, in her video-paneled master control, pronouncing which contestant is the designated villainess, which is the hot one, which ones are boring and should be bounced." Appreciating Rachel's "killer instincts" and manipulative skills, Quinn also "plays on Rachel's many weaknesses to keep her in line". Caramanica commented:

title: Rangkasbitung railway station

text:
Rangkasbitung Station (RK) is a railway station located in East Muara Ciujung, Rangkasbitung, Lebak Regency, Banten. It is the main station of Lebak Regency. This station has a small rail yard to keep passenger coaches and goods carriages. This yard also keeps locomotives from Jakarta which serve trains from . All train services that pass this station stop in this station.

Since 1 April 2017, KRL Commuterline commenced operations from Tanah Abang Station to Rangkasbitung Station, formerly terminating at Maja Station. Therefore, local services such as Kalimaya, Langsam and Rangkas Jaya, which terminate at  and Tanah Abang Station, have stopped operations.

Starting on 3 November 2020, the elimination of single-trip card (Tiket Harian Berjaminan or THB card) sales was carried out at this station in stages in order to reduce passenger contact in anticipation of the transmission of COVID-19 spread. However, passengers can still tap-in/tap-out with THB cards at the station.

History
In the past, there was a branch for the railroad line to Labuan via Pandeglang which has been inactive since 1984. On this line there is another branch for the line at Saketi to Bayah; it was built by Japanese prisoners of war better known as romusha during the Japanese occupation during the World War II. Thousands of people died because of the inhuman treatment of the Japanese soldiers. Branch lines are included in the reactivation master plan.

Building and layout
This station has four active lines.  Initially, line 1 was a straight line. After the Maja–Rangkasbitung double track was officially operated in line with the enactment of the 2019 train travel chart on December 1, 2019, line 1 is now only used as a double track straight line from the direction of Jakarta, while line 2 is used as a double track straight line towards Jakarta as well as a double track and single track from and towards Merak.

At this station there is also a train depot and a locomotive depot which store and maintain the flat carriages used for the Babarandek and Baja Coil trains as well as the Merak Local Train series and the locomotives that are given the task of pulling them. There is also a KRL depot which was built together with the construction of the double track.

The old station building which was a legacy of the Staatsspoorwegen has now been designated as a cultural heritage by PT KAI's Center for Preservation and Architectural Design Unit. Currently, on the west side of the old building, there is a new building in the form of a waiting room which is reserved for KRL passengers only, while the old building is used as a special waiting room for Merak Local Train passengers.

title: Naser Aliji

text:
Naser Ismail Aliji (born 27 December 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Romanian Liga I club Voluntari. Born in Macedonia, he played for Switzerland at youth international levels, and made his senior debut for Albania in 2015.

Club career

Early career
Aliji was born in Kumanovo and is of Albanian ethnicity. He lived there until he was four years old, at which time his mother moved to Baden, Switzerland together with her two other siblings, a sister and a brother, to join their father, who had been working there for many years. Aliji started his youth football aged 4 when he was sent by his brother to play with FC Baden. Aged 9, he moved to FC Aarau for one year and then he joined FC Basel in 2008. Later he played in their U-18 team and in their U21 team where he received various individual prizes as the youngster of the year.

Basel
Aliji signed his first professional contract with FC Basel on 20 June 2013 and joined their first team. Aliji made his first team debut on 17 August as he was substituted in during the Swiss Cup first round match against BSC Old Boys. He played his first match in the starting eleven in the Swiss Cup quarter-final against Le Mont on 5 February 2014 as Basel won 6–1. One minute before half time he gave the final pass to Marco Streller for him to score the third goal of the game. On 16 March 2014 Aliji made his Swiss Super League debut and played the full 90 minutes at St. Jakob-Park in the 5–0 home win, against Aarau. At the end of the 2013–14 Super League season Aliji won the league championship with Basel. They also reached the final of the 2013–14 Swiss Cup, but were beaten 2–0 by Zürich after extra time. During the 2013–14 Champions League season Basel reached the group stage and finished the group in third position. Thus they qualified for the Europa League knockout phase where they advanced as far as the quarter-finals.

The season 2014–15 was also a successful one for Basel. Aliji scored his first goal for the team in the away game in the Stadion Brügglifeld on 19 July 2014 as Basel won 2–1 against Aarau. Despite this goal in the first match of the season and despite the fact that Basel had entered the Champions League in the group stage reaching the knockout phase on 9 December 2014 as they managed a 1–1 draw at Anfield against Liverpool, Aliji totaled just 17 appearances during the first half of the season, 5 (of 18) League, 3 (of 3) in the Cup and just 1 (of 6) in the Champions League, as well 8 further appearances in test games, mostly as substitute. Because Sousa did not rely upon Aliji and he could not make the starting eleven Basel looked for another solution. On 17 January 2015 it was announced that Aliji would be lent out to Vaduz to gain first team playing experience.

At the end of the season Basel won the championship for the sixth time in a row.

Loan on Vaduz
In January 2015 during the Winter transfers window, Aliji was loaned out to the fellow Swiss Super League team FC Vaduz for 1 year and half. Aliji made his debut for Vaduz on 15 February 2015 in the away match against Aarau, playing the full 90 minutes of the game, which ended in a 1–0 victory. Until the end of the league season Aliji played 17 matches all as a starter and substituted off in just one occasion. Aliji won the 2014–15 Liechtenstein Cup playing two matches including the final against Triesenberg on 13 May 2015 when Vaduz won 5–0 and Aliji played the full 90-minutes.

Having won the 2014–15 Liechtenstein Cup, Vaduz gained the right to participate in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round, where they were shorted to play against San Marino side La Fiorita. In the first leg, Aliji played the full 90-minutes match in a crucial away 0–5 victory. Then Vaduz qualified in the next round beating La Fiorita 5–1 in the second leg and winning on aggregate 10–1. Vaduz finds as an opponent in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League Second qualifying round the Estonia side Nõmme Kalju. Aliji managed to play another full 90-minutes European match in the first leg to help his team to take a 3–1 victory.

Return to Basel
Following an injury to Adama Traoré with the Ivory Coast national football team due to the absence of other left-backs, Basel used the contract rights to recall Aliji to their first team squad from the loan to Vaduz. Under trainer Urs Fischer Aliji won the Swiss Super League championship at the end of the 2015–16 Super League season for the third time. For the club it was the seventh title in a row and their 19th championship title in total.

On 1 July 2016 Basel announced that Aliji was leaving the club and would move to Germany. During his time with their first team, Aliji played a total of 64 games for Basel scoring one goal. 21 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, nine in the Swiss Cup, four in the UEFA competitions (Champions League and Europa League) and 22 were friendly games. He scored his sole goal in the domestic league.

1. FC Kaiserslautern
On 1 July 2016, Aliji joined 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Kaiserslautern on a free transfer, signing a contract until June 2019.

He should have compensated for the departure of Chris Löwe on the left side of defence. Initially a regular player under coach Tayfun Korkut, Aliji was not able to convince FCK and was sorted out under Korkut's successor Norbert Meier. Because, initially, he was unable to find a new club, Aliji's contract with FCK was terminated on 31 August 2017, two years before it expired, against payment of a severance payment.

Later years
Following this, Aliji was without a club for six months. In January 2018 he joined Italian club Virtus Entella in Serie B for six months. He later played for Dinamo București and Budapest Honvéd. He joined Voluntari in the summer of 2022.

Personal life
In the summer of 2018 Aliji returned to Switzerland to be with his  father who had a cancer diagnosis.

International career
Despite playing for Macedonia youth national teams and Switzerland youth national teams, Aliji did not exclude the option of representing Albania at international level. On 17 December 2014, the FSHF representative for talents in Switzerland, Sokol Dauti, confirmed that Aliji had decided to represent Albania and begun the procedure to get an Albanian passport. Three of his former teammates at Basel Taulant Xhaka, Shkëlzen Gashi and Arlind Ajeti play for Albania, despite having represented Swiss youth national teams. On 5 March 2015, Aliji received Albanian citizenship alongside his teammate Ajeti, and became the first player ever from Macedonia to wear the Albania national team shirt.

Aliji received his first call-up to the Albania national team by the coach Gianni De Biasi for the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Armenia on 29 March 2015. Despite the invitation he wasn't eligible yet to play for Albania in competitive matches as he hadn't yet received the go ahead from FIFA. Then Aliji was called up again in the next match of Albania, the friendly one against France on 13 June 2015. He debuted for Albania at international level against France playing the full 90-minutes match which finished in a 1–0 crucial victory against the UEFA Euro 2016 hosts with a free-kick scored by Ergys Kaçe in the 43rd minute.

On 21 May 2016, Aliji was named in Albania's preliminary 27-man squad for UEFA Euro 2016, and in Albania's final 23-man UEFA Euro 2016 squad on 31 May.

Aliji didn't manage to play any minute of all Group A matches as Albania were eliminated by ranking in the 3rd place behind hosts France against which lost 2–0 and Switzerland against which they also lost 1–0 in the opening match and ahead of Romania by beating them 1–0 in the closing match with a goal by Armando Sadiku. Albania finished the group in the third position with three points and with a goal difference –2, and was ranked last in the third-placed teams, which eventually eliminated them.

text:
Olga Borisovna Graf (; born 15 July 1983) is a Russian speed skater. Graf competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics, where she won bronze medals both in the 3000 metres event and in the team pursuit.

Personal life
Olga Graf was born 15 July 1983 in Omsk, Soviet Union.  She began speed skating in 1995 when her martial arts instructor suggested that she try it. She attended the Siberian State University of Physical Education and Sport.  In 2007, she joined the Russian national speed skating team.

Graf is married to Rustam Madaminov and lives in Kolomna, Russia. She speaks Russian, German and English.

Early speed skating career
Graf gradually worked her way up the world standings in women's speed skating.  In her debut 2007–08 World Cup appearance she finished 56th in the 3000m/5000m.  In the 2009–10 World Cup she improved her 3000m/5000m result slightly to 46th. She performed better that year in the 1500m where she finished 35th.   She did not qualify for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

title: Rhünda Skull

text:
The Rhünda Skull is a fossil human skull that was found just outside the village of Rhünda in North Hesse, Germany.
It is dated to the Magdalenian, about 12,000 years old.

Discovery

On the night of 19 July 1956 there was a heavy storm in North Hessen. This caused the stream northwest of Rhünda, the Rhündabach, to strongly erode the field that is now the Rhünda sports ground. On the morning of 20 July, a villager found parts of a hominid skull  in the newly-eroded stream bed, about  below the ground surface. The skull pieces were covered in calcareous sinter and surrounded by lime-rich tuff, loess, and basalt fragments.

History of Research

The find was passed on to Prof. Dr. Eduard Jacobshagen in the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology at the University of Marburg. On 26 August 1956, Prof. Jacobshagen present his research at the international congress 'Hundert Jahre Neanderthaler: 1856–1956 [a century of Neanderthals]' in Düsseldorf.
From his reconstruction of the skull, he postulated it belonged to the species Homo neanderthalensis, i.e. a Neanderthal.
This would mean the fossil was 30.000 years old. Furthermore, he thought the bones belonged to a female.

Heberer and Kurth from Göttingen University reconstructed the skull again and carried out fluorine and 14carbon dating on the surrounding material.
They suggested the skull belong to a 'modern' homo sapiens sapiens. Together with the 14carbon age of the calcareous sinter that surrounded the skull at 8,365 ± 100 BP,
the owner of the skull was thus firmly believed to have lived in the late to early Preboreal. This correlates to the Mesolithic period.

In 2002 Wilfried Rosendahl sent 2 g of the skull to the Centre for Isotope Research () at the University of Groningen. Using the accelerator mass spectrometry 14carbon method, they dated the sample at 10,000±80 years  BP. After calibration (with INTCAL 98), this gave an age of 10,015–9,747 BP,
which correlates to the Magdalenian-Azilian period, at the beginning of the European Mesolithic.  They also showed that the skull belonged to a man.

The skull resides in the Museum of Hessian History in Kassel; there is a copy in the museum in Gensungen, close to Felsberg.

title: Homerton University Hospital

text:
Homerton University Hospital is a teaching hospital in Homerton in the London Borough of Hackney. It is managed by Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

History

The hospital has its origins in the Homerton Fever Hospital, which opened at the north of the current site in December 1870. A smallpox hospital, built on adjacent land, opened in February 1871. The two facilities merged as the Eastern Fever Hospital in 1884 and a new isolation block was built in 1935. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 as the Eastern Hospital and became increasingly focused on neurological patients before closing down in 1982.

Construction of the new Homerton Hospital began in 1982 and was completed in July 1986. The hospital was built at a cost of £20 million and was opened by the Princess Royal in March 1987. As well as replacing the Eastern Hospital, the new hospital replaced the Mothers' Hospital Lower Clapton Road in Hackney, which closed in 1986, and the German Hospital on Ritson Road, which closed in 1987.

Clinical throughput increased further when the Hackney Hospital on Homerton High Street closed in 1995 and services were transferred to the current site.

The hospital was the designated hospital for the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Services
The hospital services the East London borough of Hackney and also the City of London. Specialist care is provided in obstetrics, neonatology, fetal medicine, laparoscopic surgery, fertility, bariatric surgery, obesity surgery and neurorehabilitation.

The hospital directly employs 3500 staff.

title: Jack Tuell

text:
Jack Marvin Tuell (November 14, 1923 – January 10, 2014) was an American Methodist minister and equal-rights advocate. He served as the United Methodist Church's Bishop of Portland, Oregon from 1972 to 1980 and of Los Angeles from 1980 to 1992. Tuell was a longtime opponent of same-sex marriage and the ordination of gay clergy.  However, he became a vocal proponent and advocate for the acceptance of both issues within the church later in life. In 2012, Tuell spoke at the United Methodist General Conference in Tampa, Florida, to protest current church policy on these issues.

Tuell was born in 1923 in Tacoma, Washington. He served in the Army Air Forces during World War II. He received a law degree from the University of Washington School of Law in 1948 and practiced as a lawyer in Edmonds, Washington, for the next two years. Tuell later received his master of divinity degree from Boston University School of Theology.

Tuell may have been best known as the author of "The Organization of the United Methodist Church," which went through eleven editions and was used by Methodist students regularly in seminary church polity courses.  He also was the author of an autobiography, "From Law to Grace," published in 2004.

Tuell died on January 10, 2014, at the Wesley Homes Health Center in Des Moines, Washington, at the age of 90. He was survived by his wife of 67 years, Marjorie Tuell, and three children, Jackie Joday, Cynthia Tuell, and Jim Tuell.
