title: Santa Maria a Sicola

text:
The chapel of Santa Maria a Sicola is a small Roman Catholic medieval chapel, off Via Giudecca Vecchia, in the neighborhood of Forcella, in the Quartieri Pendino of Naples, Italy.

History

The chapel and adjacent monastery were commissioned in 1275 by the High Protonotary of King Charles I of Anjou, Pier Leone or Peronelle Sicola or Sicula. This nobleman also founded the adjacent church of San Nicola de' Caserti. This chapel was favored by the Angevin kings, and was also later endowed by King Ladislaus. The nunnery, called a conservatory for aristocratic women, housed an order that took care of orphans.

In 1722, putatively to the maleficent humors of the region, the orphanage was transferred to the Sanità district, where it mutated the name to Santa Maria Antesaecula. In 1824, the chapel was granted to the confraternity of San Nicodemo dei Paratori or Apparatori (St Nicodemus of the Guild of the Stage Hands). After this time, the interior frescoes were lost. The church had two plaques: one recalling a consecration by a pope Clement (III?), another the burial of Dade of Antwerp. The interior artwork has also been removed.

The chapel, despite its antiquity, has been poorly cared for and severely dilapidated, and serves as a warehouse of building supplies and workshop.

title: TBF International Under-16 Tournament

text:
The TBF International Under-16 Tournament, or TBF Under-16 Basketball World Cup, is an international boys' youth age basketball tournament that is contested between the best Under-16 age national teams in the world. The tournament takes place every year in Turkey, and is organized by the Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF). Since FIBA does not currently organize an under-16 age boys' world championship, this tournament serves as the de facto boys' official Under-16 World Cup. It is considered by followers of European basketball to be one of the most prestigious international tournaments in the boys' youth categories.

History
The first TBF International Under-16 Tournament took place in Sakarya, Turkey, in 1994. In the first tournament, which was won by Italy, it was an Under-18 competition. Since then, the tournament has been an Under-16 competition. The list of some of the players that have played at the tournament, and have then gone on to have successful pro careers, includes players like: Hedo Türkoğlu, Kerem Tunçeri, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Ömer Aşık, Ersan İlyasova, and Peja Stojaković.

Eric Longden was a British cyclecar brand manufactured from 1920 to 1927, originally by the Australian racing driver Eric Longden, and from 1922 by the Air Navigation and Engineering Company from Addlestone (Surrey). ANEC also built the  Blériot-Whippet.

In 1922 there were four models: The 8 hp and 10 hp both had V2 engines. The 8 hp was side-valved and had a 1.0 litre displacement, while the 10 hp had overhead valves and a 1.1 litre displacement. There were also two side-valve four-cylinder models, the 9 hp, with a 1.1 litre displacement and the 11 hp with 1.3 litre displacement. Both four-cylinder versions had a wheelbase of 2489 mm.

During 1923, the 11 hp changed to a slightly smaller engine of 1.25 litres and an extended 2540 mm wheelbase. From 1924 onwards, this was the only model offered.

title: Paul F. Sharp

text:
Paul Frederick Sharp (January 19, 1918 – February 19, 2009) was a professor and college administrator. He served as the 15th president of Hiram College from 1957 to 1964, the 3rd chancellor of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill from 1964 to 1965, president of Drake University, and the 9th president of the University of Oklahoma from 1971 to 1977. Before his stint as a college administrator, Sharp was a professor of history at Iowa State University and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Early life and education
Sharp was born in Kirksville, Missouri. He was raised in Crookston, Minnesota, by parents who were both medical doctors. He earned his bachelor's degree at Phillips University.

He served in the United States Navy during World War II. He was assigned for much of this time as a liaison officer with the Australian Navy.  he earned his doctoral degree in history from the University of Minnesota. He was an instrutor in history at the University of Minnesota while earning his Ph.D. there.

Academic career
Sharp started his academic career as an associate professor at Iowa State University. He then moved to the University of  Wisconsin–Madison, where he was a full professor.

In 1952 Sharp did a Fulbright scholarship in Australia.

Scholarly impact
Sharp made a significant contribution to the international history of the Great Plains and the Canadian-American West. This line of work is anchored by two books. The first is The Agrarian Revolt in Western Canada: A Survey Showing American Parallels, 1948. Although Agrarian Revolt later would be recognized as a pioneering work of scholarship crossing the Forty-Ninth Parallel, in its time it was little appreciated. American historians were indifferent to Canadian topics, while Canadian historians were preoccupied with their own, nationalistic interpretations. The second book is Whoop-Up Country: The Canadian-American West, 1865–1885, 1955. Whoop-Up Country was well received, but Sharp, in retrospect, never thought reviewers and readers fully appreciated its revisionist cast. He intended the work to be a critical test, in the borderlands of Montana and Alberta, of Walter Prescott Webb's thesis of environmental determinism. Sharp concluded that Canadian national will, particularly the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, was capable of overriding environment as a historical influence on the Canadian Prairies.

Academic administrator
In 1964 Sharp took over the leadership of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Much of his time there was involved in trying to bring about the repeal of the North Carolina Speaker Ban. Early in his administration Sharp oversaw the consolidation of academic affairs, health affairs and research administration into one office. He left in at the end of 1965, serving only 17 months as chancellor. He let UNC Chapel Hill in large part because of the ambiguity caused by lack of clear definitions and dinstictions between the role of the UNC Chapel Hill Chancellor and the University of North Carolina president.

During his time as head of Drake University from 1966 to 1971 Sharp oversaw a 20% growth in enrollment and a 40% growth in the size of the faculty. He also oversaw the expansion of the number of master's programs and the creation of the first doctoral program at the university. He also oversaw the building of about three major buildings on the campus, doubling the size of the library and the start of construction on a fine arts building.

Sharp was head of the University of Oklahoma for six and a half years, from 1971 until 1978. During this time he lobbied heavily for the state legislature to increase funding for higher education. He also was the first president of the university to focus heavily on private fundraising.

Private life
Sharp and his wife Rose were the parents of three children. They met while both on the debate team at Philips University.

Later life
After stepping down as head of the University of Oklahoma due to health issues, Sharp worked for 10 years as the Regents Professor of history and higher education at that institution.

He also worked as a consultant to many organizations. He was the founding chairman of the Norman Community Foundation.

title: Anagast

text:
Anagast or Anagastes () was a magister militum in the army of the Eastern Roman Empire. He was probably a Goth, as his name (as well as that of his father, Arnegisc(clus)) seems to be of Gothic origin. He was sent to negotiate with Dengizich, a son of Attila, when the western wing of the Huns invaded the empire with the intention to finally conquer its capital Constantinople and had already reached the Danube. However, Dengizich refused to negotiate with him and demanded to speak directly with the emperor Leo I. The western wing of the Huns was defeated and Dengizich was killed in 469.

The town of Nikšić, in Montenegro, formerly bore the name Anagastum. It is not known whether or not the name referred to the Anagast above.

title: Severino Galante

text:
Saverino or Severino Galante (ca. 1750–1827) was an Italian painter, active in Abruzzo and Naples.

He was born in Civitella Casanova, Abruzzo. Severino painted both genre and landscape, as well as sacred subjects. He worked in Loreto for nearly seven years, and became a pupil of Anton Raphael Mengs and then Pompeo Batoni. In Naples, he worked with Giuseppe Bonito, then moved away from the city to Apulia and Calabria.

He did not make friends easily, and was said to flee to Dubrovnik and wander abroad, because of his "bizarre and intolerant genius". In Naples he painted allegorical subjects in praise of the Bourbons, and illustrated with drawings in book, then well known in Greece and Rome. After returning to Italy, he often to was seen mingling in the streets, in the taverns, and markets, searching for persons in dramatic situations. Thus he painted "the bailiffs, martyrs, and confessors".

title: Southern Lakes (New Zealand)

text:
The Southern Lakes is an unofficial name given to an area of the southern South Island of New Zealand. Despite being an unofficial designation, the term Southern Lakes is sometimes used by organisations such as the New Zealand Meteorological Service  and Automobile Association. Though exact definitions vary, the area encompasses parts of western Southland (including Fiordland) and Central Otago, and is occasionally extended to include the Mackenzie Basin of inland Canterbury, a total of roughly .

The region is generally lightly populated, with much of its southwestern part being uninhabited national park. Much of the scenery was heavily glaciated during the last ice age, and as such contains many broad U-shaped valleys, several of which are filled with large lakes. These include the country's deepest lake, Lake Hauroko, and three of the country's four largest lakes. If the Mackenzie Basin is included, seven of the country's ten largest lakes form part of the Southern Lakes.

Many of the region's lakes feed the country's second-longest river, the Clutha River, and its tributaries — these include Lakes Wakatipu, Wānaka, and Hāwea, as well as the artificial lakes Dunstan (formed on the river by a hydroelectric dam at Clyde) and Roxburgh (formed behind a similar but smaller dam at Roxburgh). Other lakes, such as Te Anau and Manapouri, feed the system of the Waiau River. The northern group of Mackenzie Basin lakes form part of the Waitaki River system.

The areas main centres of population are Queenstown and Wānaka in Otago, and Te Anau in Southland.

List of lakes

Lakes with a surface area of more than . Those listed as being in Canterbury are often excluded from definitions of the Southern Lakes.

Other notable lakes include the Mavora Lakes of Southland, Lake Hayes in Otago, and the artificial Lake Ruataniwha, part of the Canterbury-Otago boundary.

title: Islander (band)

text:
Islander is an American rock band from Greenville, South Carolina, founded in 2011. Their releases include numerous singles as well as two EPs, Side Effects of Youth (2012) and Pains. (2013), and three studio albums, Violence & Destruction (2014), Power Under Control (2016), and It's Not Easy Being Human (2022). The band is known for its uniquely dynamic and interactive live performances, as noted in various concert review publications.

History
The original members of Islander hail from  Greenville, South Carolina, and have been playing together since 2006; they broke up for a few years and got together under the name Islander in 2011.

Islander vocalist Mikey Carvajal is a participant in the non-profit outreach organization known as The Whosoevers. Some members of the organization include Brian "Head" Welch and Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu of Korn, Sonny Sandoval of P.O.D., Lacey Sturm formerly of Flyleaf, and motivational speaker Ryan Ries.

On June 17, 2016, the band released a new song, titled "Darkness", with the lineup of J.R. Bareis  (Love & Death) on Guitar, Ezekiel Vasquez (ex-ForeverAtLast) on Bass, and Arin Ilejay (ex-Confide, ex-Avenged Sevenfold) on Drums. The new song, and album Power Under Control, indicated a mixture on Nu-metal, emo, punk rock and alternative metal. On June 20, 2016, the band released "Bad Guy" from the upcoming Power Under Control, which will be released through the band's label Victory Records on August 5, 2016. On August 4, 2016, Alternative Press put out a stream for Islander's Power Under Control, the album to be released through Victory and produced by Cameron Webb, who also produced Violence & Destruction, at NRG Studios.

On August 31, 2018, Eleventyseven lead singer Matt Langston interviewed Mikey Carvajal on the Eleventylife podcast and discussed the music industry, growing up in the South Carolina, and navigating band politics.

In March 2020, during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the band released a cover of the R.E.M. song It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). The release was dedicated to lead singer Mikey Carvajal's aunt, who had recently died as a result of the virus. A portion of proceeds from the release were donated to the NYC Low-Income Artist + Freelancer Relief Fund.

Music
Victory Records signed the band in September 2013, and soon released their second EP, Pains. Their first studio album, Violence & Destruction, was released the next year. The music's material was generally well received by critics, as the first single off the Violence & Destruction, entitled "Coconut Dracula", has since been a very successful active rock radio hit, as it hit number 23 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. On January 13, the band released a music video for the track "New Wave", the highly anticipated follow-up to the "Coconut Dracula" music video, which premiered exclusively on Billboard.

In February 2021, the band released a new single, called The Outsider. In an interview, lead singer Mikey Carvajal described it as "a song for anyone that feels like an outcast [or] is struggling to fit in."

The band has received support from many big names within the music community. Sonny Sandoval of P.O.D. said "New school band with old school soul and passion. Keep your eyes and ears open for these guys!".  Brian "Head" Welch of Korn and Love and Death tweeted "A new, unique, sick band with a CD full of great songs. You won't regret getting Islander." Lacey Sturm of the band Flyleaf tweeted a picture of Violence & Destruction stating it was her "New Favorite Music".

Touring
The group toured with the Mayhem Festival 2014 tour including label acts Emmure, Ill Niño and Wretched in the summer of 2014, followed by tours with Otherwise, Nonpoint and Pop Evil in the fall. Islander began a U.S. tour with Papa Roach, Seether and Kyng in early January 2015, extending until early February. In 2019, they provided direct support for Blessthefall and Escape The Fate on their joint ten-year anniversary tour. Other acts they have toured with include P.O.D., Red, I Prevail, and Korn. They have also headlined several of their own tours, receiving support from acts such as The Funeral Portrait and Palaye Royale. They have played at numerous Rock Festivals such as Carolina Rebellion, Rock on the Range, Shiprocked, and Welcome to Rockville, with artists such as Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Linkin Park.

Style
Their music is similar to Deftones, Glassjaw, Korn, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit, Mudvayne, P.O.D., and Rage Against the Machine because musically it is alternative metal and rap metal, all the while, having a nu metal sound featuring the subsets alternative rock, hard rock, punk rock, and post-hardcore. Chino Moreno, Daryl Palumbo, Jonathan Davis, Fred Durst, Chad Gray, Sonny Sandoval, Zack de la Rocha are cited as vocal similarities to Carvajal.

title: MACS J0416.1-2403

text:
MACS J0416.1-2403 is a cluster of galaxies at a redshift of z=0.397 with a mass 160 trillion times the mass of the Sun inside . Its mass extends out to a radius of  and was measured as 1.15 × 1015 solar masses. The system was discovered in images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope during the Massive Cluster Survey, MACS. This cluster causes gravitational lensing of distant galaxies producing multiple images. Based on the distribution of the multiple image copies, scientists have been able to deduce and map the distribution of dark matter. The images, released in 2014, were used in the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) to help scientists peer back in time at the early Universe and to discover the distribution of dark matter.

title: List of high-speed railway lines

text:
This article provides a list of operated high-speed rail networks, listed by country or region.

The International Union of Railways defines high-speed rail as public transport by rail at speeds of at least  for upgraded tracks and  or faster for new tracks.

Overview
The following table is an overview of high speed rail in service or under construction by country, ranked by the amount in service. It shows all the high speed lines (speed of  or over) in service. The list is based on UIC figures (International Union of Railways), updated with other sources.

By region

Freight high-speed railway services

Missile carriers

Non-revenue or unfinished

High-speed networks under construction

Austria

All high-speed railway lines in Austria are upgraded lines.

Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania)

New high-speed line

Connections to Russian, Polish and Finnish high-speed railways are under planning.

Belgium

New high-speed line

China

Denmark

Denmark has a signalling system allowing max 180 km/h. There is a plan to replace it with ETCS before 2030. On some lines, 200 km/h or more will be allowed as a direct result, without upgrading other things.
Peberholm–Oresund Bridge has Swedish signalling system allowing max 200 km/h since 2000.

Feasibility studies

Multiple pre-feasibility and feasibility studies have been done or are in progress.

The consultants for pre-feasibility study for four corridors are:
Systra France's Company for Delhi-Panipat-Ambala-Chandigarh-Ludhiana-Jalandhar-Amritsar,
Systra, Italferr and RITES Limited for Pune–Mumbai–Ahmedabad,
British firm Mott MacDonald for Delhi–Agra–Lucknow–Varanasi–Patna
INECO, PROINTEC, Ayesa for Howrah-Haldia
Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and Oriental Consultancy along with Parsons Brinckerhoff India for Chennai–Vijayawada–Dornakal–Kazipet–Hyderabad

In September 2013, an agreement was signed in New Delhi to complete a feasibility study of high-speed rail between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, within 18 months. The study will cost ¥500 million and the cost will be shared 50:50 by Japan and India.

Location of the stations, its accessibility, integration with public transport, parking and railway stations design will play an important role in the success of the high speed railway system. Mumbai may have an underground corridor to have high-speed rail start from the CST terminal. European experiences have shown that railway stations outside the city receive less patronage and ultimately make the high-speed railway line unfeasible.

The feasibility study for the Chennai-Bengaluru high-speed rail corridor was completed by Germany in November 2018. The study found that the route was feasible. The proposed corridor would be 435 km long and would have an end-to-end travel time of 2 hours and 25 minutes with trains operating at a speed of 320 km/h. The study proposed constructing 84% of the track on viaducts, 11% underground and the remaining 4% at-grade. The current fastest train on the Chennai-Bengaluru route, the Shatabdi Express, completes the journey in 7 hours.

Diamond Quadrilateral project

The Diamond Quadrilateral high-speed rail network project is set to connect the four major metro cities of India namely: Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai. Prime minister of India mentioned in his address to the joint session of Parliament on 9 June 2014 that the new Government was committing to build the dream project. Although the route is not yet planned, the alignment could follow the existing Golden Quadrilateral railway line which links other major cities.

title: Violence & Destruction

text:
Violence & Destruction is the debut studio album by American rock band Islander. The album was produced by Cameron Webb and released on July 8, 2014, by Victory Records. It is the only album from the band to feature Andrew Murphy, Chris Doot and Eric Frazier on guitar, bass and drums, respectively.

Recording, production, release
Islander are a four-piece group from Greenville, South Carolina, whose first release was the EP Pains. (2013).

Violence & Destruction was recorded in early 2014 in studios in Southern California: Maple, in Orange County, and NRG Recording in North Hollywood, Los Angeles. Producer Cameron Webb had worked with such acts as Kelly Clarkson, Motörhead, Pennywise, Silverstein, Weezer and Alkaline Trio.

The album was released on July 8, 2014, through label imprint Victory Records. To promote the album the band toured on the Mayhem Festival 2014, playing on the Victory Records Stage with label mates Emmure, Ill Niño and Wretched.

Musical style, writing, composition
Critics compared the album to P.O.D. (The Fundamental Elements of Southtown) and the Deftones (Around the Fur) for its "different" sound. Singer Carvajal has been compared to Chino Moreno and Sonny Sandoval; while critic Rob Houston appreciated the vocals, some felt putt off because of his "shameless, and almost smarmy sounding" performance, especially the "'woos'". Big Cheese notes "this four-piece blends the atmospheric musicality of Deftones with the rap rock attitude of Fred Durst, with powerful results." Rock Sound says "Despite sounding like the odds are stacked against them, Islander stand a good chance of survival with their 100 per cent accurate nu metal recreations." They went onto write Islander "exhumed P.O.D.'s corpse (or did it rise from the dead itself?) with forensic precision and mated it with Chino Moreno's haunting croon."

Critical reception

Violence & Destruction was welcomed with predominantly positive reviews. John Hill from Noisey exclaimed, Their new track "Coconut Dracula" shows a lot of restraint with their influences, allowing them to just fucking play. Islander's able to really illustrate the potential of this genre. They sonically demonstrate that fragile dichotomy between softness and weight in a riff, and juggle it around over catchy hooks. I don't know what the fuck a Coconut Dracula is (I hope it's some kind of drink) but this track still WRECKS.

In a five-star review in HM Magazine, Rob Houston stated that Violence & Destruction will be able to hold its own for years." Amy Sciarretto, writing for Outburn, praised the album for its "funked out riffs, throatily wrapped vocals, and rage drenched sentiments", giving it an eight out of ten. In an eight out of ten review from Big Cheese, Paula Frost described it asHollering through 12 tracks in a passionate mix of soft singing besides raw intensity, frontman Mickey comes across as an urban realist. Next to the influence of Rage Against The Machine and non-stop thrashing, 'Violence And Destruction' is at times an intimate set of songs. Mixing rock, metal and hip-hop, 'Violence And Destruction' simply doesn't let up.

In New Noise Magazine, Nathaniel Lay gave it four and a half stars: "From start to finish, Violence & Destruction has a lot of greatness to share with its listeners". In a four-star review for Jesus Freak Hideout, Michael Weaver said the album was interesting because the band "put together a really solid collection of songs 13 years or so after the genre [nu-metal] died." Chad Bowar, for About.com, thought the album "wide-ranging" for its content, and gave it three stars. In a three-star review in Alternative Press, Jason Schreurs wrote that the band "tries too hard to create a sound that can easily be compartmentalized by its influences". Tim Dodderidge, in Substream Magazine, said that "the biggest problem is that these guys still need to fully develop their style into their own", giving the album three and a half stars. Awarding the album a six out of ten, Sarah O'Connor at Rock Sound felt The Downside? Their relative lack of fresh ideas means the songs need to be on point, and they aren't quite there. Their Deftones influence is a little too overbearing and there's a feeling that it needs to be stripped back before Islander can make any progress of their own.

title: Noenoe Silva

text:
Noenoe K. Silva (born October 19, 1954) is a Hawaiian author and scholar. A professor of political science at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, her work has appeared in Biography, American Studies, and The Contemporary Pacific.

Life
Silva was born on Oʻahu and is of Kanaka Maoli descent. She returned to Hawaii in 1985 after growing up in California. In 1991, she earned a bachelor's in Hawaiian language. In 1993, she completed a Master's degree in Library and Information Studies, and in 1999 earned a PhD in political science.

Work
While still a doctoral candidate, Silva was instrumental in rediscovering the Kūʻē Petitions, which had been presented to the United States government in 1897 in an attempt to halt American annexation of Hawaii. The petitions formed part of the basis for her book Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian Resistance to American Colonialism, an examination of Hawaiian language accounts of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

In 2006, Silva received a Katrin H. Lamon Fellowship from the School for Advanced Research to continue her research along similar lines through building a database of Hawaiian authors.

Silva also contributed to A Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language, an updated reprint of the first Hawaiian-English dictionary prepared by Lorrin Andrews in 1865, which was published by Island Heritage in 2003.

Awards
Aloha Betrayed received the Kenneth W. Baldridge Prize from Brigham Young University–Hawaii.

title: List of most-streamed songs in the United Kingdom

text:
In June 2014, the Official Charts Company (OCC) started including audio streams in the official UK Singles Chart, recognising their importance as an indicator of current popular trends and tastes in music. From this point onward, the popularity of a single or album track can be measured by both sales (which include paid downloads) and streams on officially recognised subscription and ad-funded on-demand services. Although the OCC added these figures to the chart in July 2014, they started compiling them in May 2012 through the Official Audio Streaming Chart. They are taken from on-demand audio streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer and Tidal, all of which are members of the Digital Entertainment and Retail Association (ERA). Video streams were also added in June 2018, with a new weighting system applied to "premium" streams (those on paid subscription services) and "free" streams (those on ad-supported services like YouTube and the free tier of Spotify).

In June 2016, "Sorry" by Justin Bieber became the first song to pass 100 million streams. By September 2016, it had been joined by two other Bieber songs: "Love Yourself" and "What Do You Mean?" as well as "One Dance" by Drake (the first song to achieve 100 million streams in a calendar year).

As of November 2022, the most-streamed song in the UK is "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi, with over 562 million streams. The song with the most streams in a single chart week is "Easy on Me" by Adele in the week ending 28 October 2021 with 24 million streams, whilst Little Mix hold the record for the most streamed girl group single, "Shout Out to My Ex".

History

In July 2014, the OCC announced that "Pompeii" by Bastille was the most-streamed song in the UK with 26.6 million streams. "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne was the most-streamed song in 2014 with just short of 40 million streams, whilst "Cheerleader" by OMI was the most-streamed song of 2015 with 71.7 million.

The record for most streams in a week has been broken many times since 2012 when the OCC started measuring it as streaming levels have continued to grow. In 2013, "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk was the first song to achieve 1 million streams in a week, "Uptown Funk" broke the 2 million streams barrier at the end of 2014 and in April 2015, "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth passed 3 million streams. In November 2015, "Hello" by Adele almost doubled the record to 7.32 million streams and, in the same week, Bieber also passed 4 million with "Sorry".

In the week ending 4 October 2014, "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor became the first single ever to reach the UK top 40 on streams alone before it was available to buy and in the week ending 13 December 2014, "Thinking Out Loud" became the first song to reach number one despite selling less than Union J's "You Got It All", the number-two song, due to streaming.

During 2015, streaming grew with an 80 per cent increase in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2014, with 59 songs being streamed more than 10 million times and 17 more than 20 million times. In total 53.7 billion songs were streamed in the UK in 2015, equating to almost 2,000 songs played in each UK household.

In December 2016, the OCC announced that streaming had grown from 275 million per week in 2014 to 990 million and, consequently, the formula for converting streams to sale equivalents in the singles chart would be changed from 100:1 to 150:1 from January 2017. Additionally, in June 2017, it was decided that after a record has spent at least 10 weeks on the chart, any track which has declined for three consecutive weeks will see its streams:sales ratio change from 150:1 to 300:1, in an attempt to accelerate their disappearance from the chart.

"Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran was the UK's most streamed song from July 2017 until November 2022, when it was overtaken by Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved".

title: King Laurin

text:
The South Tyrolean saga of King Laurin (German: König Laurin, Ladin: Re Laurin, Italian: Re Laurino) is part of a popular tradition in the Dolomites. It is a popular explanation of the  optical phenomenon of Alpenglow (Ladin: Enrosadira), by which the summit of the mountains change their color to shades of red and purple during and after sunset. King Laurin's legend is also considered to be the source of the German name of the Rosengarten group (Italian: Catinaccio) between South Tyrol and the Trentino.

The legend

King Laurin
King Laurin was the ruler of a thriving race of dwarves who lived up here and mined the mountains for precious jewels and valuable ores. He possessed a subterranean palace made of sparkling quartz. But his special pride and joy was the great garden located in front of the entranceway to his underground crystal castle. Countless wonderful roses blossomed in this garden, whose scent was enchanting. But woe unto those who might attempt to pluck even only one of these roses! Laurin would order that his left hand and right foot be chopped off! He exacted the same punishment from anyone who tore the silken thread which surrounded his entire rose garden instead of a fence.

Similde
Similde was the beautiful daughter of the “King on the River Etsch.” One day, he felt that the time had come to marry off the girl. So he invited all of the noblemen in the neighboring lands to join with him in a May Day ride – but he did not invite Laurin, the King of the Dwarves. Because of this, Laurin decided to wear his magic Invisibility Cape and attend without being detected. But as he caught sight of Similde, he immediately fell in love with her. So he grabbed her, leaped onto his horse, and galloped away.

The King on the River Etsch sent out his knights to find and rescue poor Similde. King Laurin, who believed that they would never discover him, pranced about in his Rose Garden. But the knights could see the roses swaying, and thus knew where Laurin was hiding. So they were able to trap him. Laurin was so angry at being discovered that he turned around and cursed the Rose Garden, which he believed had betrayed him: “Neither by day nor by night should anyone again glimpse this lovely sight.” But in saying that, Laurin had forgotten the time between day and night: The twilight. And so it is that the pink glow of the Rose Garden can still be seen at dawn and dusk.

Hartwig, Wittich, and Dietrich
For seven long days, the noblemen from the neighboring lands fought their contests to determine who should wed the beautiful Similde. Finally, there were only two champions left. It was decided that they should compete against each other in one final contest, with the victor winning the girl’s hand. One of the men was named Hartwig, and his shield bore the sign of the lily. The other was called Wittich, and the symbol of a snake could be seen on his shield.

In order to rescue the king’s daughter, Similde, Hartwig and Wittich turned to the great and famous Prince Dietrich of Bern for help. The prince promised to aid them, although his wise old captain of the armory Hildebrand warned him of the strange magical powers of the Dwarf King Laurin.

Hildebrand, old captain of the armory, cried: "Rip up his belt!" But this was easier said than done, for after all, Dietrich wasn’t able to see King Laurin, let alone grab him. But then, Hildebrand had an idea: "Pay heed to the motion of the grass – then you will see where the dwarf is standing!" As Dietrich did this, he was able to see where Laurin was standing, so he ran to him, grabbed him around the middle, and broke his belt. Laurin thereupon fell to the ground, and Hildebrand was able to capture him.

Mènega
Mènega was a twelve-year-old maid who, together with her friends, herded the livestock on the Latemar. One day, an old man came by who had lost his knife. A short time later, the maid found the knife, and the man promised her and her friends a whole parade of dolls. On her way home, Mènega met a woman who taught her a spell so that the man would give her his dolls with golden crowns.

On the next day, the children waited for the old man until a doorway opened in the side of the mountain. Dolls wearing silk clothing appeared out of it. Mènega recited the spell, and the dolls were transformed into stone. Today, one can still see the silk clothing of the dolls sparkling in the sun.

The Water Nymph of the Karersee
Once, there lived a beautiful water nymph in the Karersee. She often sat on the shores of the lake, singing, but as soon as anyone would approach, she would dive back into the lake and vanish. To do this, some friendly birds would stay on the look-out. These chirping birds loved listening to the water nymph, but as soon as they heard some strange noise, they would twitter nervously and fly around in fear. Thus, the nymph would have time to dive into the lake and disappear, and never came into danger. But her curiosity was her undoing.

Thus it happened that an evil sorcerer who had fallen in love with the nymph and planned to steal her asked the advice of an evil witch. She advised him to stretch a rainbow from the Rose Garden to the Latemar, to disguise himself as a jewelry merchant, and so to entice the nymph away. But as he stretched out the rainbow and went to the lake, he forgot to disguise himself. The nymph recognized him and dived into the lake. The sorcerer was so furious that he threw the rainbow together with the jewels into the lake. And that is why the Karersee still glows in such lovely colors to this day.

The Dwarf of the Latemar
A poor farmer woman lived on a slope with her many children. They suffered great privations. The oldest child, a girl, had to leave home early to each day to work. One day, the girl discovered a dwarf in a crack in the mountain. The dwarf motioned for the girl to come closer. The girl did as she was ordered, and came to a large crack in the mountain in which there was a big pan. The dwarf posed the girl a question and then said that she could have the pan. The girl dragged the pan home, where her family was amazed to see it. But they always used the pan. This magic pan would always fill up when it was put on the fire, even if only a few ingredients were placed into it.

Years later, as the girl – who had now grown into a young farmer woman – inherited the farmstead, she enlarged it and became seven children. A short time later, there was a knock at the window, and the farmer woman knew what she would have to do. Starting then, she cooked for the dwarf and placed the food into the attic. This continued for many years, until one day the woman’s daughter-in-law refused to cook for the dwarf. Thus, she placed the empty pan into the attic. On the next day, the pan had disappeared, and the family again suffered great privations. There, where their farmstead used to be, one can still see a red mass of loose rocks, and no one can live there.

Tschei
There was once a hermit named Tschei, who lived on a slope above Welschnofen. Tschei had been cruelly driven away by the villagers, and so he and his friend Jocher decided to climb up into the Rose Garden. Because no one in the village wanted to buy his cattle from him, they took them with them. One day, a farmer was desperately searching for his sheep, and he discovered a green meadow which was covered with neither snow nor ice. He became curious, and walked over to this meadow. When he got there, that’s where he found his sheep. There was also a hut, out of which an old, gray-haired man came. It was Tschei, and he said that the man should take his sheep and never come back. A short time later, a hunter found a hatchet, and everyone said that it must belong to Tschei, and that he had forgotten it when he moved up to the Rose Garden. But one day, an old man came and fetched the hatchet and disappeared into a crack in the mountain.

Today, the Tscheiner Slope is still not completely covered with vegetation. One spot near a crack in the mountain lacks growth.

The Glacier Man
Giants, dwarves, and wild men once lived around the Karersee. One day, the wild men found a chest full of gold coins, to which they paid no particular attention. An old man then came and demanded that they give him back the chest. The wild men had taken a few coins out of the chest and refused to given them back, so the old man said that the time would come when the Glacier Man would come and look for them all. But the Glacier Man himself was never to be seen, and after nothing had happened for many years, they all continued to live in peace.

A few years later, the Dirlingers came and settled in the mouths of the Locher Valley. Disputes were constantly breaking out between the Dirlingers and the wild men. But when the Dirlingers demanded the Grunschaft Meadow for themselves, this led to the last and greatest conflict. The wild men had many fearless warriors, but they nonetheless lost the battle.

A few years later, the sole survivor among the wild men, the Glacier Man, searched for his allies, but in vain. But as fate would have it, the Dirlingers didn’t enjoy their victory for long. At first, the rich Dirlingers ones promised the poor ones the best land. But the rich broke their promise, and so one of the poor Dirlingers journeyed to the “Witch’s Cauldron” to call upon the Devil for help in spreading the Plague. As a result, everything was torn down and even the most-beautiful meadows soon disappeared into the forest.

The Stone Maiden
The story goes that this maiden was once a princess. She and all her followers wanted to hurry to the aid of the wild men for the last and greatest battle against the Dirlingers. But as she came to a mountain ridge and saw the terrible defeat of the wild men, she was so shocked that she turned into stone.

The Fellow from Marchegg
In Gummer, a fellow from Marchegg would traipse around, even in the light of day. He groaned under the burden of stones he was carrying. He asked everyone he met what he should do with this burden, until one day someone answered that he should put it back where he found it. On that day, the enchantment was lifted.

The Witch Langwerda
Langwerda, also known as “Lomberda,” was a witch who lived in a valley below the Rose Garden. One day, she ordered her servant girl to sweep out the attic with a bundle of wheat stalks. But the servant girl used some pine twigs instead, and a short time later, a storm started brewing. When Lomberda went to see whether the servant girl had done a proper job, she found that the entire attic was full of pine needles. The witch punished the maid, because if she had used a bundle of wheat stalks, as she had been told to do, everything would have been full of grain, instead.

The Brothers
A king had two sons who traveled to the Rose Garden even in late autumn. The roses still bloomed here, regardless of the season of the year. One of the brothers said that he saw a pale stalk with a rose on it. The two brothers now raced to see who could get it first. The one who had seen it first was not as fast as the other brother. When he finally came to the rose, the slower brother said full of anger that the rose belonged to him, since he had seen it first. The other replied that he had come to it first, so that it was his. After a brief struggle, the brother who had seen the rose first stabbed and killed the other. Since then, no roses grow there anymore.

The Little Man
The Little Man had discovered the blue stone up in the mountains, near the Rose Garden. He marched back and forth from the place to the valley, taking as much of the blue stone with him on each trip as he could. But he didn't keep the stone for himself. Rather, he sold the pieces to a dyer in Bozen who said that it was the most-beautiful blue that he had ever seen. The dyer gave him as much money as the Little Man wanted. Thus, the Little Man could live well – but no one ever found out where he had gotten the blue stone.

The Goat
A farmer had many goats which he always took to a particular clearing in the forest where they could graze. One day, one of the goats ran into the forest and then soon came out again with half a loaf of bread in its mouth. The farmer wanted to know where the goat had gotten the bread. But when he followed the goat into the forest the next time, the goat ran this way and that, all the way through the forest, and was thus able to fool the farmer. To this day, no one knows where the goat had gotten the half a loaf of bread.

The Tailor
Behind Welschnofen in the direction of the village of Kar, there was a deep hole in the earth. One day, a tailor came along and saw it. He thought it would be amusing to frighten the devil that lived in the hole. So he pointed his gun into the hole and began shooting until all of his ammunition was gone. In an instant, the devil climbed out of the hole and ran away. But not just one devil came out: A great many small and large devils clambered out of the hole. The tailor ran to the nearest farmhouse and sought refuge there until the devils had gone away.

title: Homewood (Ellicott City, Maryland)

text:
Homewood is a stone house located off of Homewood road in Ellicott City in Howard County, Maryland.

Homewood was built on the Carroll family's Doughoregan Manor for Robert Goodloe Harper Carroll (1839-1915), who served in Company K of the Confederate 1st Virginia Cavalry. He served with his younger brother Albert, who died in battle. The family home was passed on to R. G. Harper Carroll II, then to the Wright Family. The house stayed in the Carroll family until the 1960s before it went through a series of owners including a Rouse Company executive and the administrator of Howard County General Hospital. In 1996 Joan Cochran, wife of former county Executive Edward L. Cochran, listed the 14-acre property for sale for $1.4 million.

Homewood has six fireplaces, library, wine cellar and grand foyer. The house offers six bedrooms and a gourmet kitchen.

The Homewood Center for disruptive and emotionally disturbed youths was built near the site in 2002, and given the name Homewood Alternative Learning Center to sound "elegant".
