title: First Nations nutrition experiments

text:
The First Nations nutrition experiments were a series of experiments run in Canada by Department of Pensions and National Health (now Health Canada) in the 1940s and 1950s. The experiments were conducted on at least 1,300 Indigenous people across Canada, approximately 1,000 of whom were children. The deaths connected with the experiments have been described as part of Canada's genocide of Indigenous peoples.

The experiments involved nutrient-poor isolated communities such as those in The Pas and Norway House in northern Manitoba and residential schools and were designed to learn about the relative importance and optimum levels of newly discovered vitamins and nutritional supplements. The experiments included deliberate, sustained malnourishment and in some cases, the withholding of dental services.

The Government of Canada was aware of malnourishment in its residential schools and granted approval for the execution of nutritional experiments on children. It is now known that the primary cause of malnutrition in residential schools was underfunding from the Canadian government. The nutritional experiments residential school children were subjected to neither provided evidence of completion nor contributed to the body of knowledge around nutrition and supplementation.

Nutritional experiments conducted on Indigenous children in residential schools came to public light in 2013 through the research of food historian Dr. Ian Mosby.

History
Nutritional experiments were conducted between 1942 and 1952 using Indigenous children from residential schools in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and Ontario.

In March 1942, Canadian nutrition experts led a research expedition to Northern Manitoba that investigated the nutritional health status of First Nations peoples in the Cree communities of Norway House, Cross Lake, God's Lake Mine, Rossville and The Pas. Led by Dr. Percy Moore and Dr. Frederick Tisdall, the research mission was sponsored by Indian Affairs, Milbank Memorial Fund, Royal Canadian Air Force and Hudson's Bay Company. The goal of this initial survey was to investigate sustenance patterns and nutritional states of the Indigenous people in these communities by administering physical examinations, blood tests and X-rays on 400 residents.

Grave malnutrition was noted to the extent where many who continued to work were considered to be in need of medical attention. The malnutrition in the northern Cree communities was linked to other health problems, such as an increased tuberculosis death rate (1,400 per 100,000 people), compared to the non-Indigenous Manitoba population (27.1 per 100,000 people), high infant mortality (eight times the national rate), and higher crude mortality (five times the national rate).

In the years preceding the nutrition experiments, John Milloy, Mary-Ellen Kelm and other researchers regarded malnutrition as endemic in the residential schools and First Nations communities. For example, in the mid-1940s widespread malnutrition was discovered at Cecilia Jeffrey School and St. Mary's School in Kenora. At St. Mary's School, students were fed a flour mixture that was not legal under food adulteration law in Canada and at the Cecilia Jeffrey School, an experiment in nutrition education provided some students with nutrition supplementation and not others.

Recent food history research has indicated that the malnourishment of children at residential schools was intentional, evidenced by the Canadian government's awareness of malnutrition in residential school children before the experiments began. Other experiments with Indigenous children included deliberate withholding of milk rations to less than half the recommended amount for two years, providing some children with vitamins, iodine, and iron supplements but not others, the depression of vitamin B1 levels in students, and one school did not provide any supplements to any students in order to establish a baseline against the results collected from other schools.

In response to the results of the initial survey, an experiment was conducted among 300 malnourished Indigenous subjects, 125 of whom were provided any or all of the three nutritional supplements of interest: riboflavin, thiamine, or ascorbic acid. The experimental supplement group was compared to the malnourished group, which served as a control. The experiment was led by Moore and Tisdall, with the assistance of Dr. Cameron Corrigan, a resident physician in the Rossville Branch of the former Department of Indian Affairs.

Studies

The James Bay Survey
The 1947–1948 James Bay Survey expanded on the previous Northern Manitoba study, and sought to investigate the connection between nutrition and health in Northern Canada. Two sets of researchers set out to investigate the nature and effects of food shortages among Native Canadians in the James Bay Area. The first included three anthropologists surveying various Indigenous communities and deciding upon two for further study – Attawapiskat First Nation, and the Cree Nation of Waskaganish. The second set of researchers included physicians, a dentist, a medical photographer and an X-ray technician to examine the health status of the two First Nations Communities. Dr. Percy Moore and Dr. Frederick Tisdall remained the primary researchers of the study. A primary goal of the study was to investigate "possible methods for augmenting or improving the food supplies of the Bush Indians".

In 1948, as a part of a press release promoting the nutritional study, Indian Affairs stated:

They have abandoned the native eating habits of their forefathers and adopted a semi-civilized, semi native diet which lacks essential food values, brings them to malnutrition and leaves them prey to tuberculosis and other disease. The white man, who unintentionally is responsible for the Indians' changed eating habits, now is trying to salvage the red man by directing him towards proper food channels ...

Residential school studies
Research projects focusing on the nutrition of Indigenous school children between 1948 and 1952 took place in six Canadian residential schools.

Prior assessments of food supply in the residential school system indicated a lack of sufficient food availability. An inspection was conducted in 1944 by Dr. A. B. Simes in a Manitoban Elkhorn residential school, finding that 28% of girls and 70% of boys who attended were reportedly underweight. A nutritionist determined the nutritional quality of food served at the Port Crosby residential school in British Columbia to have a "poor" rating score, with vegetables, cereals and meat reportedly underserved.

Medical professionals from the Red Cross and other organizations were responsible for assessing the food supply in these schools as well as the attitudes of the nearby Indigenous peoples living in reserves regarding the nourishment practices in the residential schools. Despite interference by many of these schools, a major food shortage was reported in these investigations.

In response, Dr. Lionel Bradley Pett, the leader of the Canadian Council on Nutrition at this time, led an initial survey that would investigate residential schools national and experiment with supplemented food items on students as subjects. In 1948, Pett began this five-year research project including 1000 Indigenous residential school students. These included:

 Blood's residential school (Alberta)
 St. Paul des Metis residential school (Alberta)
 St. Mary's residential school (Ontario)
 Cecilia Jeffrey residential school (Ontario)
 Shubenacadie residential school (Nova Scotia)
 Port Alberni residential school (British Columbia).

A research team of physicians, nurses, dentists and other medical professionals were tasked with assessing the health status of these Indigenous children (with blood tests, physical exams, etc.), as well as collecting data from school menus and administering tests for intelligence and aptitude, in order to inform experimental interventions to be implemented in each residential school for the studies that followed.

Survivors' accounts
Alvin Dixon, a former student at the Alberni Residential School in British Columbia and a survivor of the nutrition experiments, played a key testimonial role in the Truth and Reconciliation Hearings to uncover the truth regarding the details of these experiments. On a CBC Radio One radio series titled As It Happens, Dixon provides the following account:
I arrived in Alberni Residential school in September, 1947. One of my only memories of that year was being presented in a classroom with, like, a spreadsheet, seven days a week, of mealtimes and we were asked to fill in breakfast lunch and dinner. What we ate in those particular meals, and the thing that struck me as a ten-year old was "Why were they asking me? They know what they're feeding us." They didn't ask us if they were eating these things... And we didn't always eat what was presented to us, obviously, because it was totally inadequate food, a lot of the times, and not necessarily the best tasting or the best quality... I remember having to, all of us kids having to, steal fruits, steal carrots, potatoes, so we could roast the potatoes somewhere offsite, you know, on a fire and eat it because we were never full when we left, like I said, the dining room table.
Ray Silver, another former residential school student at the same residential school in Alberni, British Columbia, describes his bleak experiences in the following statement to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission:
And us kids, we used to sneak from the school, we must have had to walk about a mile, sneak away from the school, sneak over the bridge, and go to that dump, and pick up apples, they were half rotten or something, and they threw out, they were no more good to sell, but us kids that were starving, we'd go there and pick that stuff up, fill up our shirts, and run back across the bridge, and go back to the school.
Ethel Johnson, former residential school student of the Shubenacadie school in Nova Scotia, illustrates her younger sister's struggles eating the unpalatable food served at the school:
 And she couldn't eat it, and she started crying. And then she tried to make her eat it; and she couldn't. And then she threw up, and then she put her face in there. And she couldn't; when you're crying you can't eat anyway.

Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada was officially established on June 1, 2008, with the purpose of documenting the history, harm, and ongoing impacts of the Canadian Indian residential school system on former students, their families and their communities. It provided residential school survivors an opportunity to share their experiences during public and private meetings held across the country.

The TRC emphasizes that it has a priority of displaying the impacts of the residential schools to the Canadians who have been kept in the dark from these matters.

Notes on terminology
Retrieved from: Canadian Indian residential school system

 Indian has been used because of the historical nature of the article and the precision of the name. It was, and continues to be, used by government officials, Indigenous peoples and historians while referencing the school system. The use of the name also provides relevant context about the era in which the system was established, specifically one in which Indigenous peoples in Canada were homogeneously referred to as Indians rather than by language that distinguishes First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Use of Indian is limited throughout the article to proper nouns and references to government legislation.
 Indigenous has been capitalized in keeping with the style guide of the Government of Canada. The capitalization also aligns with the style used within the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In the Canadian context, Indigenous is capitalized when discussing peoples, beliefs or communities in the same way European or Canadian is used to refer to non-Indigenous topics or people.
 Survivor is the term used in the final report of the TRC and the Statement of apology to former students of Indian Residential Schools issued by Stephen Harper on behalf of the Government of Canada in 2008.

title: James Mata Dwane

text:
James Mata Dwane (1848 – 1916), priest and founder of the Order of Ethiopia.

Early life

Dwane was born in Kamastone near Whittlesea, Eastern Cape, in 1848. He was educated and later taught at Healdtown Methodist Missionary Institution.

At the mere age of 19, he decided to start a school in a nearby village and enrolled 60 learners whom he taught all he had learned. He then left for further education and formal teacher training at Healdtown Methodist Missionary Institution where he later served as a teacher. During this time, he became painfully aware of the difference in quality between white and black education.

In an effort to advance his education vision he joined John Tengo Jabavu in a local newspaper in King William's Town as Co-editor for Imvo Zabantsundu (Black Opinion).

Methodist minister

After a period as a lay minister, Dwane returned to Healdtown in 1872 to study theology. His studies completed, he began his work as a probationer minister by assisting the Rev'd Robert Lamplough at the Ann Shaw church, Middeldrift. He was ordained as a Methodist minister in Port Elizabeth in 1881. Dwane served as a minister in a number of places in the Eastern and Northern Cape.

In 1892 Dwane went to England to collect money for the work of the Methodist church in South Africa. Dwane hoped to collect money to start an industrial school near Queenstown. His tour successful and he returned with a large amount of money. However, on his return, the Methodist authorities insisted that the money be paid into the general fund. Dwane was thoroughly disillusioned and this dispute over money led directly to his leaving the Methodist Church and joining the Ethiopian Church of Mangena Mokone.

Ethiopian Church

In 1896 when Dwane joined the Ethiopian Church, the amalgamation with the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AMEC) in America was being discussed. Dwane and two others were elected to go to America, but in the end only Dwane could raise the money so he went alone.

Eventually the House of Bishops and the Missionary Board of AMEC agreed to the amalgamation. Dwane was re-ordained (as bishop) and sent back as General Superintendent (GS) of the South African AMEC.

Anglican Church

Dwane became suspicious of the validity of the orders into which he had been inducted as bishop. The vicar of the Anglican Church in Queenstown, the Rev'd Julius Gordon, introduced Dwane to the Rt Rev'd Charles Cornish, Bishop of Grahamstown. Dwane became convinced that the Anglicans had the true Apostolic succession and in 1899 he wrote to the Most Rev'd William West Jones, Archbishop of Cape Town to negotiate the admission of the breakaway Ethiopians to the Anglican Church as a separate order.

In  August 1900 a service was held in Grahamstown Cathedral at which Dwane was formally accepted into the fellowship of the Anglican Church. After making the necessary vows he was admitted as the Provincial superior of the Order of Ethiopia, but he was not consecrated as a bishop.

The Anglican Church was slow to ordain ministers for the Order of Ethiopia. In 1902 fifty-three candidates from Queenstown were confirmed and twelve men were licensed as catechists but not as priests. The same year the Rev. W. M. Cameron was put in charge of training 'Ethiopian theological students' . Dwane assisted Cameron with the work of teaching the students.

Difficulties and disagreements

At a conference in 1905 Dwane complained that Ethiopian ministers had to work under white priests. The bishop firmly reminded the Ethiopians that they were "first members of the Church of the Province of South Africa and secondly members of the Order of Ethiopia". Dwane was criticized by the church authorities for taking part in commercial transactions. Two years later Dwane was replaced as Provincial. Cameron reported to the archbishop that 'the bishops of the province have not reappointed Mr. Dwane as provincial' and that he, Cameron, had been appointed acting-provincial. Dwane remained a priest in the Order of Ethiopia until his death in 1916 and never became a bishop.

Dwane's great-grandson, Bishop S. Dwane, became the first black bishop of the Order of Ethiopia; the position that his great grandfather had sought but never achieved.

Awards

The Order of the Baobab in Gold by then president Jacob Zuma for his contribution to the formation of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and educational development of Africans.

Literature contribution

Dwane wrote a book called Imaz'enethole (Cow and Calf).

Commemoration
The Anglican Church of Southern Africa commemorates Dwane in its Calendar of saints on the 9th day of February each year. In addition the collect for this commemoration is as follows:
God our Father,our teacher and our guide
your servant James Mata Dwane
preached the gospel of your Son
and lived the gospel which he preached;
grant that all of us by our lives
may proclaim the gospel that he taught;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

title: Tabnit sarcophagus

text:
The Tabnit sarcophagus is the sarcophagus of the Phoenician King of Sidon Tabnit (ruled c. 549–539 BC), the father of King Eshmunazar II. It is decorated with two separate and unrelated inscriptions – one in Egyptian hieroglyphs and one in the Phoenician alphabet. The latter contains a curse for those who open the tomb, promising impotency and loss of an afterlife.

It has been dated to early fifth century BC, and was unearthed in 1887 by Osman Hamdi Bey at the Ayaa Necropolis east of Sidon together with the Alexander Sarcophagus and other related sarcophagi. Tabnit's body was found floating perfectly preserved in the original embalming fluid. Both the sarcophagus and Tabnit's decomposed skeleton are now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museums.

The sarcophagus, together with the Sarcophagus of Eshmunazar II, were possibly acquired by the Sidonians following their participation in the Battle of Pelusium during the First Achaemenid conquest of Egypt, and served as models for later Phoenician sarcophagi. The Phoenician text is considered to have a "remarkable" similarity to that of the Shebna inscription from Jerusalem.

Discovery
At the beginning of 1887, Mehmed Sherif Effendi, the owner of a piece of land known as Ayaa, obtained a permit from the local authorities to quarry stone for the construction of a new building. On 2 March 1887, Cherif reported to the Kaymakam of Sidon, Sadik Bey, that he had discovered a well at the bottom of which there might be tombs. Sadik Bey examined the site and spotted a vault containing two sarcophagi through a hole in the eastern wall of the well. He escalated the matter to the Vali of the Syria vilayet, Rashid Nashid Pasha, and the Governor of Beirut Nassouhi Bey, and entrusted the well to the care of Essad Effendi from the gendarmerie of Sidon.

According to the American missionary narrative, the tombs were discovered in 1887 by the American Presbyterian minister William King Eddy (the father of William A. Eddy). William Wright sent a letter to The Times with news of Eddy's discovery and imploring the British Museum to "take immediate measures to secure these treasures and prevent their falling into the hands of the vandal Turk". This alerted the new curator of the fledgling Istanbul Archaeological Museum, Osman Hamdi Bey, who arranged for a full excavation and the transfer of the sarcophagi to Istanbul.

During the excavation, the workmen opened the Tabnit sarcophagus and found "a human body floating in perfect preservation in a peculiar fluid". Whilst Hamdi Bey was at lunch, the workmen overturned the sarcophagus and poured the fluid out, such that the "secret of the wonderful fluid was again hidden in the Sidon sand". Notably, after the "peculiar fluid" left the sarcophagus, the body started to become un-preservable. Hamdi Bey noted in 1892 that he had kept a portion of the sludge that remained in the bottom of the sarcophagus.

Inscription

The inscription is known as KAI 13. The Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription shows that the sarcophagus was originally intended for an Egyptian general named "Pen-Ptah" (pꜣ-n-pth). Transcribed in equivalent Hebrew letters, the Phoenician text is readable by a modern Hebrew speaker, with a few distinctions: as is customary in Phoenician, the direct object marker is written אית (ʾyt) instead of את (ʾt) in Hebrew, and relative clauses ('which', 'who') are introduced with אש (ʾš) instead of אשר (ʾšr) in Hebrew. Among less common words in modern Hebrew, the inscription uses חרץ for gold (Biblical חָרוּץ) and אר for the verb 'to gather' (אָרוּ 'they gathered', Biblical אָרָה).

Dating

Both the Tabnit sarcophagus and the Sarcophagus of Eshmunazar II are thought to originally date from the Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Egypt, which had its capital at Sais. This is partially due to their resemblance to similar sarcophagi such as the Psamtik II-era Horkhebit sarcophagus from Saqqara, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Tabnit (Phoenician: 𐤕𐤁𐤍𐤕 TBNT) was the Phoenician King of Sidon  549–539 BC. He was the father of King Eshmunazar II.

He is well known from his sarcophagus, decorated with two separate and unrelated inscriptions – one in Egyptian hieroglyphics and one in Phoenician script. It was created in the 6th century BC, and was unearthed in 1887 by Osman Hamdi Bey at the Ayaa Necropolis near Sidon together with the Alexander Sarcophagus and other related sarcophagi. Tabnit's body was found floating in the original embalming fluid and almost perfectly preserved, save for the face and neck which were not submerged, but Bey's men spilled all the fluid and left the body to rot in the desert sun, at which point it quickly decomposed to little more than bones and withered viscera. Both the sarcophagus and Tabnit's decomposed skeleton are now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museums.

The sarcophagus, together with the Sarcophagus of Eshmunazar II, was possibly acquired by the Sidonians following their participation in the Battle of Pelusium (525 BC), and served as models for later Phoenician sarcophagi.

Dating
Both the Tabnit sarcophagus and the Sarcophagus of Eshmunazar II are thought to originally date from the Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Egypt, which had its capital at Sais.

title: Farm to Market Road 156

text:
Farm to Market Road 156 (FM 156) is a farm-to-market road located in North Texas.

Route description
FM 156 begins at an intersection with Bus. US 287 in Fort Worth, near Meacham International Airport. The highway runs in an east–west direction traveling along Terminal Road, before turning north onto Blue Mound Road. After crossing I-820, FM 156 enters into the southeastern section of Saginaw. The highway briefly enters into the town of Blue Mound, before re-entering Saginaw. The highway runs back into Fort Worth, passing by the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, before intersecting US 81/US 287. North of US 81/287 FM 156 runs through sparsely populated areas of the city's northwest area. At School House Road, the highway loops around a rail line and enters Haslet.

Leaving Haslet, FM 156 turns to the east, passing a few miles to the west of Alliance Airport. The highway briefly enters Fort Worth again, interchanging with SH 114 near Texas Motor Speedway. Leaving Fort Worth, the highway runs through unincorporated areas of Denton County before entering Justin. Just outside Justin, FM 156 briefly runs through the western area of Northlake. The highway runs through the towns of Ponder and Krum before ending at I-35 in southern Sanger.

History
FM 156 originally ran from US 287 to the Denton County line, first designated on June 4, 1945. On July 2 of that year, a second section was designated from SH 114 north through Justin, Ponder and Krum, where it turned northwest to end at Plainview School  northwest of Krum. On December 17, 1945 (date of agreement March 23, 1946), the sections were connected. On March 30, 1949 the highway was rerouted north to Krum to end at US 77 south of Sanger; the old route was redesignated as part of FM 1173. The highway was rerouted around Haslet on March 26, 1991, with the old highway being turned over to the city. On June 27, 1995, the section of highway south of US 81/287 was re-designated as Urban Road 156 (UR 156) by the Texas Department of Transportation. The designation reverted to FM 156 with the elimination of the Urban Road system on November 15, 2018.

Several miles of the highway near Alliance Airport were realigned on August 26, 2010 as part of a $260 million runway extension project to allow heavily loaded cargo aircraft to take off in hot summer weather and reach Europe unrefueled.

title: The Voice Cambodia

text:
The Voice Cambodia is a Cambodian reality singing competition. The first season premiered on Hang Meas HDTV on August 3, 2014. One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner. The winner will receive 100 million Cambodian riel ($25,000), and become a singer for Hang Meas Production. As of January 2023, a third season is set to return.

It is the fifth national franchise in the Southeast Asian region after Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Philippines.

Format
The series consists of three phases:
 Blind Auditions
 Battle Round
 Live Shows

Blind Auditions
Four judges/coaches, all famous musicians, will choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditionee's performance to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer then the singer gets to choose which coach they want to work with.

Battle Round
Each team of singers will be mentored and developed by their coach. In the second stage, coaches will have two of their team members battle against each other by singing the same song, with the coach choosing which team member will advance to the next stage, but the one who is not chosen by the coach still has another chance from another coaches' steal to advance them to the next stage too.

Live Shows
In the final phase, the remaining contestants will compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience will help to decide who moves on. When one team member remains for each coach, the contestants will compete against each other in the finale.

Hosts and coaches
The show is hosted by Chea Vibol and Chan Keonimol, while the judges are Aok Sokunkanha, Chhorn Sovannareach, Pich Sophea and Nop Bayyareth, four prominent singers in Cambodia.

title: Subaru FA engine

text:
The Subaru FA engine is a gasoline boxer-4 engine used in Subaru and Toyota automobiles. It is a derivative of the FB engine, with efforts to reduce weight while maintaining durability as the main design goals. Although the FA and FB engines share a common platform, the FA shares very little in dedicated parts with the FB engine, with a different block, head, connecting rods, and pistons.

Development
The FA series engine was developed for the Subaru BRZ and the first FA engine, the FA20D, was designed to be mounted as low as possible and to minimize the polar moment of the chassis to improve dynamic response and handling. The FA engine features a shallower oil pan and shorter intake manifold to reduce overall engine height compared to the Subaru FB engine. The FA and FB engines share few parts.

A direct injection-only turbo variant of the FA20, the FA20F, was introduced in late 2012 with the 2012 Legacy GT (for the Japanese market) and in the United States, the 2014 model year Subaru Forester. Compression ratio for the turbo engine falls to 10.6:1 from 12.5:1 for the FA20D. A revised variant of the FA20F was introduced for the 2015 model year Subaru WRX; in this application, the camshafts, rocker arms, boost pressure, intercooler, and exhaust were revised to increase peak output.

FA20

Compared to the FB20 engine, which is undersquare with an  bore and stroke for  swept displacement, the FA20 is perfectly square with an  bore and stroke for  swept displacement. The  bore and stroke are also reminders of the heritage Toyota model AE86.

Common parameters for all FA20 variants
 Displacement:
 Bore:
 Stroke:

FA20D

The FA20D features both direct and port injection (Toyota's D-4S injection system) and Subaru AVCS variable valve timing system. It is used in the Subaru BRZ, and is identified by a Toyota engine family code known as the 4U-GSE, which is installed in the Toyota 86 and the Scion FR-S. According to Subaru, 0W-20 oil is recommended.

Wards Auto put the FA20D on their "10 Best Engines" list for 2013.

 Compression Ratio: 12.5:1
 Application: 2012-2016 Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86

Torque:  at 6,400 RPM

FA20F

A version with Subaru's own direct fuel injection and twin-scroll turbocharger was introduced in 2012. Also known as the FA20DIT. The FA20F was named to the Wards Auto "10 best engines" list in 2015 and 2016.

 Compression Ratio: 10.6:1

FA24

Common parameters for all FA24 variants
 Displacement:
 Bore:
 Stroke:

FA24F

The FA24F was introduced in 2018 initially for the 2019 model year Subaru Ascent. The bore is increased compared to prior FA20 engines, increasing displacement to . The engine has an all aluminum head and block in order to keep weight and warm-up times low. Direct injection and a turbocharger are used to provide output comparable to a 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, and the FA24 uses "regular" (87 AKI) fuel. At the 2019 Chicago Auto Show, Subaru unveiled the 2020 model year Subaru Legacy sedan, available starting in fall 2019 and featuring the FA24 as the uplevel engine option. The 2020 model year Subaru Outback also featured the FA24 as the uplevel option.

Compression Ratio: 10.6:1
2019+ USDM Subaru Ascent, 2020+ USDM Subaru Legacy badged as Legacy XT, and 2020+ USDM Subaru Outback badged as Outback XT
Power:  at 5,600 RPM

2022+ Subaru WRX
Power:  at 5,600 RPM
Torque:  at 2,000-4,800 RPM
2022+ Subaru Levorg/WRX Sportswagon/WRX GT

FA24D

Like the preceding FA20D, the FA24D uses the Toyota D-4S fuel injection system, which combines direct and port injection. It has the same displacement as the FA24F turbocharged engine with an identical 94×86 mm bore and stroke, but the compression level is increased to 12.5:1. Fitting the existing FA24F, with its bottom-mounted turbo, to the second generation Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 would have required raising the price and overall center of gravity, so natural aspiration was chosen instead. The torque curve was revised, with peak torque coming at a lower engine speed in the FA24D, and without the significant torque decrease between 3,000 and 5,000 RPM exhibited by the FA20D, which resulted from tuning that engine for fuel economy. In addition, an oil cooler has been added to the engine. One important difference is that the 2022 Toyota GR86 engine requires an oil that meets the ILSAC GF-5 standard while the 2023 GR86 engine requires ILSAC GF-6A, while in markets like Australia the 2022 Subaru BRZ still allows ILSAC GF-5 and additionally allows older ACAE A3 and A5.

Compression Ratio: 12.5:1
2022+ Subaru BRZ/Toyota GR86
Power:  at 7,000 RPM
Torque:  at 3,700 RPM
The engine is fitted with an additional carbon filter in some regions which slightly restricts the intake.

title: The 21st Question

text:
The 21st Question is a British game show that aired on ITV from 4 to 15 August 2014 and was hosted by Gethin Jones.

Format
There are 11 contestants in each game. Each contestant is on the show for a full week, unless they make it to Q21, meaning that if they are out, they have a chance to play again.

Question 1
Question 1 is about playing for position in Questions 2–20. There is a question with ten potential answers. Five of these are correct. Each contestant taps their answers in. The fastest person to get all five answers gets to choose their position first (out of spots 1–10 or the Power Spot), with the second person choosing second, and so on until the slowest person is left with the last remaining place.

Questions 2–20
The person in the Power Spot battles each of the other contestants individually (starting with the person on Spot 1 onwards) with multiple-choice questions based on a category chosen by the person on the Power Spot. If both players get the question correct, or if both get it wrong, another question is asked until both have answered three questions with one another. If this happens on the third question in a battle, the person who is not on the Power Spot leaves the game and is out. If the person on the Power Spot gets it wrong but the other gets it right, the other takes the place of the Power Spot player and the person who is on the Power Spot is out. If the Power Spot player is right but the other player is wrong, the other player is out.

Due to there being just 21 questions in the game, often the players in spots 8, 9 and 10 don't participate in a game, meaning that there are regular updates on the probability of them playing – if the probability of one of them reaches 0, they leave the game as there is no chance of them winning.

Every correct answer adds to the prize fund, and contestants are regularly given the opportunity to 'Double Up' – this means that the Question is made harder but is worth twice the money.

Question 21
The player on the Power Spot by the end on Q20 gets to play the 21st Question. A final question is a 'Top 10' list. The player must give six answers from the list, with just one wrong answer resulting in them being out.

If the player is able to get three answers correct, they will win half the total prize fund accumulated in the previous questions. If the player chooses to gamble and gives another two more correct answers, they win the total prize fund. If they gamble once more and give one more correct answer, they will win double the prize fund.

If at any time a user gives an answer that is not in the top 10 they win nothing.

title: Dark Tourist

text:
Dark Tourist (also known as The Grief Tourist) is a 2012 American psychological thriller film directed by Suri Krishnamma, written by Frank John Hughes, and starring Michael Cudlitz, Melanie Griffith, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.  Cudlitz plays a bisexual security guard who engages in dark tourism.  It premiered at Filmfest München on July 3, 2012, and Phase 4 Films released it theatrically on August 23, 2013.

Plot
Jim Tahna, a quiet and solitary man, explains in voice-over narration his hatred of society and his employers, though he enjoys his work as a security guard, as it allows him long periods of solitude.  On his vacation time, he engages in dark tourism, the visitation of murder sites.  His current subject is Carl Marznap, a mass murderer and arsonist.  He leaves Yonkers, New York, to visit Carl's home in California.  His neighbor at the cheap motel in which he stays, Iris, turns out to be a prostitute.  Nervous, Jim fumbles in conversation with her, then states in voice-over how much he hates prostitutes.  At a local restaurant, he meets Betsy, a friendly waitress.  Jim introduces himself to her as Carl and falsely claims that his sister has been diagnosed with cancer.  Betsy and Jim draw closer over their difficult lives, and she invites him to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

On his tour of Marznap's home and crime scenes, Jim becomes increasingly disturbed by hallucinations and vague flashbacks.  Eventually, Jim hallucinates Marznap himself, who urges him to teach the world what it feels like to be a victim.  Once tortured and gang-raped in juvenile detention, Marznap explains that he sought revenge by burning down a church, as he blamed those people for doing nothing to help him while his father abused him.  After the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Jim and Betsy bond further, and Betsy invites him to dinner at her house.  Betsy offers him marijuana, and he reluctantly accepts.  When she tries to kiss him, he becomes agitated and demands that they have sex without any affection.  When she asks him to slow down, he berates her and leaves.  Marznap encourages him to visit Iris.  A trans woman, Iris has anal sex with Jim, and he flashbacks to a childhood gang rape.

Jim and Carl discuss their shared experiences, and Jim expresses his belief that he is broken beyond repair.  The next day, at the restaurant, Betsy apologizes to Jim, and he calls her disgusting.  She runs away crying, and Jim returns to his motel.  Jim breaks into Iris' room, scares off her client, and beats her savagely.  After he berates Iris, God, and the kids who raped him, he takes Iris to the church, where he strangles her.  Marznap and Jim then discuss what to do next; Marznap counsels him to commit suicide, and Jim slits his own throat.  In the epilogue, the police reveal that Jim has killed six trans-women prostitutes on his various dark tourism trips, and a young man visits Jim's house as part of his own dark tourism.  Around a hole in the wall in Jim's house, a message reads, "From this void, no one returns!"

Cast
 Michael Cudlitz as Jim Tahna
 Melanie Griffith as Betsy
 Pruitt Taylor Vince as Carl Marznap
 Suzanne Quast as Iris
 Brad Bufanda as Manny

Production
Production was originally to take place in New Orleans but moved to Los Angeles after a money dispute.  Cudlitz and Griffith were drawn to the film because of the writing.

Release
Dark Tourist premiered at Filmfest München on July 3, 2012.  It received a limited release in the United States on August 23, 2013.  It was released on Blu-ray, DVD in the United States on February 25, 2014.

Reception
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 33% of nine surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 4.7/10.  Metacritic rated the film 40/100.  Geoff Berkshire of Variety called it "a well-acted but rote and ultimately repellent character study".  Karsten Kastelan of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film is unrelentingly dark, which makes it too uncomfortable to enjoy.  Nicolas Rapold of The New York Times wrote that the film's mood is weakened by Vince's and Griffith's appearances, and the post-credits scene is "too clever by half".  Annlee Ellingson of the Los Angeles Times criticized the film's pacing and called the climax "a grotesque, exploitive mess".  Ernest Hardy of The Village Voice wrote that the film "veer[s] hard into cliché" but the actors give good performances.  Gareth Jones of Dread Central rated it 1.5/5 stars and wrote, "What should be a deep and wounding trip to the edge of sanity remains far too understated and impenetrable for its own good."  Becki Hawkes of Daily Dead rated it 4/5 stars and wrote, "There's an intense evocation of dread throughout: a crawling, fetid sense of evil, which some viewers may simply find too repellent to watch."

title: Floridobia

text:
Floridobia is a genus of very small freshwater snails (and one species found in brackish coastal marshes) that have an operculum, in the family Hydrobiidae, the mud snails.

Floridobia siltsnails are dioecious (having separate male and female individuals). Females are usually much larger and more numerous than males. They are believed to have a life-span of about one year. In the relatively warm waters of Florida springs, reproduction occurs year-round. The snails feed on microbial organisms and detritus attached to surfaces. Floridobia species tolerate low dissolved oxygen levels found near spring vents, which helps protect then from most fish predators.

A study of F. floridana reported that the increased presence of cyanobacteria in its diet slowed its growth. Cyanobacteria blooms are becoming more common in Florida springs due to excess nitrogen entering the groundwater feeding springs, thus threatening the survival of siltsnails.

Species of Floridobia were classified in the genus Cincinnatia prior to 2002, based on the structure of the penis. Thompson and Hershler erected the new genus of Floridobia in 2002, moving 15 species from Cincinnatia, based on the structure of the penis and the female genitalia. A study of mitochondrial DNA in nymphophiline snails published in 2003 found that Floridobia formed a monophyletic clade, with F. winkleyi as a sister to the Florida Floridobia species.

Species
Most of the known species in the genus are endemic to a single spring, a set of springs, or a spring run, in Florida. Species within the genus Floridobia include:

Two possible new Floridobia species have been identified, but have not been published and accepted as of 2023. Floridobia species A has been reported from the Ogeechee River in Georgia. The Waccamaw Floridobia has been reported from Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina.

Reception
The Times of India gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and commented: "Despite the earnest attempt to churn out a riveting plot, the scenes suffer from a dreadful langour. Jiju lavishes disoriented, aimless scenes teeming with a confusing array of colours and light as if to enhance the intricacies of his plot. The act misfires as the film slumps into a drab barrage of sequences. The fluidity that flashed here and there vanishes forever." Lensmen, in a 3,5/5 stars review, stated: "Jijo Antony’s direction has its flaws and pluses. The drama and cheesy feel in scenes could have been reduced in the making and there is no real control over the background score. Screenplay was written in a predictable way in the first half and after a point the second half also becomes slightly predictable. The story of the SLR photographer was finding it difficult to synchronize with the overall story. But as I said, there is this reasoning part in the second half which was a surprise and the haunting feel of the climax helps the movie in creating that much needed disturbance in the viewers mind. Pappinu’s camera has captured some nice visuals but the quality of the camera was poor (especially those night sequences)."

title: Lowcostholidays

text:
Lowcostholidays was a travel company and a consumer-facing brand of the lowcosttravelgroup, which was founded in 2004. It operated to destinations worldwide, with a focus on European city and beach breaks. Around 500 people worked for the brand, which was based in Palma de Mallorca, with additional offices located in London, and Krakow. The company collapsed and went into administration on 15 July 2016. The collapse of the company was blamed on low turnover in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.

History
lowcostholidays was founded in 2004 by CEO Paul Evans, and operated in 13 different markets.  Evans had a background in the travel industry, where he worked for companies including Saga Holidays, Airtours/My Travel Group, First Choice and Holiday Hotels.

lowcostholidays’ former headquarters were located in East Grinstead, before relocating to offices just outside Gatwick Airport, in summer 2011. The brand then moved its business to Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in November 2013.
Following the move  Evans responded to criticism, saying, “We are centralising our lowcostholidays business and simplifying our structure…having a single trading entity, through which all of our holidays are sold, means we can achieve significant efficiencies and cost savings.”

The brand’s German site was the first to launch internationally, followed by a further nine European sites.

In June 2013, lowcostholidays launched its single parent holidays campaign, offering lone parents cheaper rates on selected hotels when travelling with children.  The same month, their Secret Hotels programme launched, allowing customers access to cheaper beach breaks by booking an undisclosed hotel.

In early 2014, lowcostholidays expanded further, opening offices in Atlanta, United States and Sydney.

Collapse

On 15 July 2016, the company collapsed and went into administration. The administrator, Smith & Williamson, claims that there are approximately 27,000 Lowcostholidays customers currently on holiday and 110,000 who had booked trips but were yet to depart. In 2013, the CAA warned holidaymakers to avoid booking with the company, due to its relocation to Spain, which meant that its bookings were no longer protected by ATOL. This ensures that customers can return home and receive a refund if a company does collapse.

Lowcostholidays had ignored these warnings, stating that holidaymakers had protection under a Spanish scheme. Its sudden collapse was blamed on "the recent and ongoing turbulent financial environment" (leading up to and following the Brexit vote).
The company advertised on ITV in the UK the week before, and a 60% sale on their Facebook page the day before they entered into administration.

Awards
lowcostholidays was named ‘Best Tour Operator-Agent Website’ at the 2009 Travolution Awards. In 2010, the company won Travolution’s ‘Rising Brand of the Year.’ It featured in the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 League Table twice, in 2009 and 2011  and won ‘Best Optimised/Responsive Mobile Website’ at the MOMA (Marketing on Mobile Award) Awards in early 2013 . The UK site has also been nominated for ‘Best Travel Blog’ and ‘Best Use of Mobile’ in 2014’s Travolution Awards . The brand’s Irish site, lowcostholidays.ie, was voted ‘Best Online Travel Agent’ in 2013 by the Irish media.

Marketing
lowcostholidays launched its first TV advert, created by MPG Media Contacts, in June 2011. A year later, a national bus campaign was launched, the messaging stating, ‘I bet you can’t guess what we do’; later replicated in a similar, ‘Does what it says on the bus’ campaign in September 2013.

In October 2012, lowcostholidays offered a free holiday to a man named Thomas Cook, after he failed to secure a break from the travel company of the same name.

When offering the free holiday, Charlotte Hunt said "if your name was 'lowcostholidays.com' we would certainly have accepted your request". In October 2012, Adam K Dean messaged the company through its website's feedback form, claiming to be "Mr Lowcostholidays" and requesting a holiday to Greece. Lawrence Hunt, non-executive chairman (originally chief operating officer), later sent an SMS to Adam K Dean accepting the request, and subsequently provided a free holiday to Kos, Greece. Jessica Whitworth, managing the "social" aspect of the free trip, later said "after a few internal discussions we have decided that the whole ‘Thomas Cook’ story is now past its expiration date and we don’t feel that publicising your holiday would be of any additional value."

In June 2013, the brand created a YouTube advertisement, consisting of UGC submitted by social fans in its Little Stars competition - the video generating over 126,000 views.

In late 2013 and early 2014, lowcostholidays partnered with  BETA to produce a selection of TV adverts. that aired in the UK and Ireland.
The campaign continued into 2014, with 10 second, destination focused adverts appearing in the lead up to summer.
