title: 1953 RAC Tourist Trophy

text:
The 1953 RAC Tourist Trophy was a motor race for sports cars, held on 5 September 1953 at the Dundrod Circuit in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It was the sixth round of the 1953 World Sportscar Championship, held just six days after the previous round, the 1000km of Nürburgring. The race was the 20th running of the RAC Tourist Trophy.

The race was won by Peter Collins and Pat Griffith, driving an Aston Martin DB3S.

Background
The race took place on Saturday 5 September, with Practice taking place on the Thursday and Friday before the race. The race distance was set at 111 laps with two drivers taking part for each entrant, with each driver being required to drive at least a third of the car's eventual distance in the event in order to be classified. The overall winner of the event would receive the Tourist Trophy and . In each class, first place would receive  and second place would receive .

Report

Entry
The event's entrants list should have been closed on 15 August, but due to a strike in France, the entry list couldn't be closed until 24 August. A total of 45 cars were initially registered for the event on 24 August. However, many teams decided to withdraw their registrations. These included the private Jaguar entrants of J. B. Swift and T. H. Wisdom, the Porsche's due to recent crashes in races at the weekend before the event. The Italian Stanguellini cars were withdrawn, potentially due to a shortage of cars due to recent crashes. Only 28 entrants arrived for practice and qualifying. None of the leading works teams made the trip across to Northern Ireland from mainland Europe. However, from England, the two works teams of Jaguar Cars Ltd. and Aston Martin took part. The team from Coventry arrived with three cars, Jaguar C-Types for the all British pairings of Tony Rolt/Duncan Hamilton, Stirling Moss/Peter Walker, and Peter Whitehead/Ian Stewart. Aston Martin also brought along three of their DB3S, with Reg Parnell pairing up alongside Eric Thompson. Roy Salvadori/Dennis Poore and Peter Collins/Pat Griffith made up the crew of the other two Astons. Also from England came three works entered Frazer Nash Le Mans Mk IIs and Kieft-Bristols.

Going into this round, Ferrari were leading the Manufacturers Championship by just two points from Jaguar. With no representation in the race, Ferrari would be unable score any points, but due to the nature of the scoring system where only the best four results out of the seven races could be retained by each manufacturer, Jaguar would need to finish at least second to score any points, with only one race remaining in the championship- the Carrera Panamericana in Mexico some  months away.

Race

Although World Championship points were awarded based on scratch order, this race was run as a handicap race. The race was run over 111 laps, but no cars started from scratch: the largest cars, the Jaguars, had a handicap of 4 laps and 5 minutes, 11.21 seconds. The race would end once any car completed 111 handicap laps.

Conditions of the race were foggy. Despite this, Aston Martin would finish in first and second places, both cars on the same lap. Car number 20, driven by Collins and Griffith took an impressive victory, winning in a time of 9hrs 37:12 mins., averaging a speed of 81.715mph. Second place went to Parnell and Thompson, in their DB3S, just 3:23 minutes behind. The podium was completed by the winner of the two previous Tourist Trophy races held at Dundrod, Moss, aided by his co-driver, Walker, in their Jaguar C-Type.

title: Myrtle (sternwheeler)

text:
Myrtle was a steamboat built in 1909 for service on the Coquille River and its tributaries, in Oregon.  The ability of this small vessel to reach remote locations on the river system was cited many years later as evidence in support of the important legal concept of navigability.

This steamboat should not be confused with a somewhat larger vessel, also named Myrtle, which was built in 1908 at Prosper, Oregon, but which was home-ported much further north, at Astoria.

Construction
Myrtle was built at Myrtle Point, Oregon, in 1909 for service on the Coquille River with the Myrtle Point Transportation Company.  The steamer was  long, with a beam of  and depth of hold of .

In 1915 the case came to trial before the Coos County Circuit Court, with Judge John S. Coke presiding.  Trial took over three days and 41 witnesses testified.  One witness who had seen the boom torn away stated that "the brush came down the river with such force and so high that it brushed the county bridge, 35 feet above the water and shook it."  The transportation company claimed losses of $2,500, representing $1,000 in damage to the boats, $800 in repairs, and $700 in lost revenues from the boats when they were taken from their run.

The Port of Coquille alleged that the milling company's boom was too far out in the stream and that the boat company had been negligent in mooring their boats to the boom.   The port also claimed the boat company was negligent by not posting a night watchman on the boats, and that had steam been kept up, the boats could have avoided being stranded on the jetty.  The port also claimed that the lumber company's boom was defective.

The jury however on June 11, 1915, returned a verdict in favor of the boat company, and awarded damages against the Port of Coquille in the amount of $1,750.  The port appealed, but the Supreme Court of Oregon ruled against them, finding that the evidence, evaluated in the light most favorable to the prevailing party, that is, the boat company, was sufficient to sustain the verdict.

Fines for defective equipment
In September 1915, as part of a widespread effort by the steamboat inspection service to crack down on safety violations in the Coos Bay area, the owners of the steamer Myrtle (W.R. Panter, T.W. Panter, W.A. Panter, S. Hufford, and Elmer Hufford) were fined $10 for not having an endorsement for change of master for the vessel, $100 for no fog horn, and $100 for having a defective fire extinguisher on board.  The occasion for the fines was the then recent (July 24, 1915) disaster in Chicago to the steamship Eastland, The possible remission of fines following compliance was not ruled out by the inspectors.

Competition
Myrtle was opposed by the motor launch Charm,  and had difficulty competing with the rival vessel.

Sinking at the dock
In February 1921, Myrtle sank at a dock at Myrtle Point.   On board was a cargo consisting of most of a rail car load of canned carrots.  The sternwheeler Dora, then also owned by the Panter family doing business as the Myrtle Point Transportation Company, was sent to Myrtle Point to aid in the salvage of Myrtle and the cargo.

Reconstruction

In 1922, Myrtle reconstructed by being reduced in length by   and converted to freight service.  The conversion was done at the Herman Bros. yard at Prosper.  For a time thereafter James W. Exon, of Portland, Oregon operated the vessel on the river.

Disposition
Myrtle was abandoned along the bank of the Coquille River on the ranch of Paris Ward, one of the shareholders in the Myrtle Point Transportation Company.

title: March of Ukrainian Nationalists

text:
The March of Ukrainian Nationalists is a Ukrainian patriotic song that was originally the official anthem of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. The song is also known by its first line "We were born in a great hour" (). The song, written by  to music by  in 1929, was officially adopted by the leadership of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists in 1932. The song is often referred to as a patriotic song from the times of the uprising, and a Ukrainian folk song. It is still commonly performed today, especially at events honoring the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and by nationalist organisations and party meetings, such as those of VO Svoboda.

Background

In 1919, with the end of the Polish–Ukrainian War, which resulted in the takeover of western Ukraine by the Second Polish Republic, many former leaders of the Ukrainian republic were exiled. As Polish persecution of Ukrainians during the interwar period increased, many Ukrainians (particularly the youth, many of whom felt they had no future) lost faith in traditional legal approaches, in their elders, and in the western democracies who were seen as turning their backs on Ukraine.  This period of disillusionment coincided with the increase in support for the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN).  By the beginning of the Second World War, the OUN was estimated to have 20,000 active members and many times that number in sympathizers. The song was written in 1929 during the midst of these political events and adopted by the organisation's leadership 3 years later.

The March of the Ukrainian Nationalists is written and performed as a military march and a call to arms. The first verse of the song refers to "the pain of losing Ukraine", referring to the short-lived independence of the Ukrainian National Republic from 1917-1921. The republic was divided up among the Soviet Union and the Second Polish Republic. The song also mentions a popular Ukrainian national motto, "A United Ukrainian state... from the San to the Caucasus". This is in line with the Ukrainian irredentist concept of having Ukraine's western border start at the San river in modern-day in western Ukraine and southeastern Poland  and its eastern border at the Caucasus Mountains in modern-day Southern Russia.

Ukrainian lyrics
Зродились ми великої години,
З пожеж війни, із полум’я вогнів,
Плекав нас біль по втраті України,
Кормив нас гнів і злість на ворогів.

І ми йдемо в бою життєвому,
Тверді, міцні, незламні мов граніт,
Бо плач не дав свободи ще нікому,
А хто борець — той здобуває світ.

Не хочемо ні слави ні заплати.
Заплатa нам це радість в боротьбі!
Солодше нам у бою умирати,
як жити в путах, мов німі раби.

Доволі нам руїни і незгоди,
Не сміє брат на брата йти у бій!
Під синьо-жовтим прапором свободи
З'єднаєм весь великий нарід свій.

Велику правду — для усіх єдину,
Наш гордий клич народові несе!
Вітчизні ти будь вірний до загину,
Нам Україна вище понад все!

Веде нас в бій борців упавших слава.
Для нас закон - найвищий то наказ.
"Соборна Українськая держава —
Вільна й міцна, від Сяну по Кавказ".

Ukrainian romanized lyrics
Zrodylys' my velykoi hodyny,
Z pozhezh viyny, iz polum'ia vohniv.
Plekav nas bil' po vtrati Ukrainy,
Kormyv nas hniv i zlist' na vorohiv.

I my ydemo u boiu zhyttievomu,
Tverdi, mitsni, nezlamni mov hranit,
Bo plach ne dav svobody shche nikomu,
A khto borets', toi zdobuvaie svit.

Ne khochemo ni slavy ni zaplaty.
Zaplata nam tse radist' v borot'bi!
Solodshe nam u boiu umyraty,
Jak zhyty v putakh, mov nimi raby.

Dovoli nam, ruiny i nezhody,
Ne smiie brat na brata yti u bii!
Pid syn'o-zhovtym praporom svobody
Z'yednaiem ves' velykyi narid svii.

Velyku pravdu dlia usikh yedynu,

Vede nas v bii bortsiv upavshykh slava.

English translation

We were born in a great hour,
From the fires of war, and the flames of gunshots,
We were nurtured by the pain of losing Ukraine,
We were fed by anger and malice to our enemies.

And here we walk in the battle of life -
Solid, durable, unbreakable, like granite,
For crying hasn't given freedom to anyone yet,
But whoever is a fighter, he conquers the world.

We want neither glory, nor payment.
Payment for us - is the luxury of fighting!
It is sweeter for us to die in battle,
Than to live in bondage, as mute slaves.

Enough of ruins and disagreements for us,
A brother will not dare to go to war against a brother!
Under the blue-yellow flag of freedom
We will unite all of our great people.

A united nation one for us all is that one truth
This is our proud call to all people:
Be faithful to your homeland until death,
For us, Ukraine is above all else!

The glory of fallen fighters leads us into battle,
The law is the highest order we shall fulfill:
"Towards a free and united Ukrainian nation,
Free and strong, from the San to the Caucasus"!

Modern song
The March of the New Army () is a modern adaptation of the song that is used as a Ukrainian military march as well as a patriotic song with nationalist overtones. A modern text was adopted in 2017 at the initiative of Oleh Skrypka, lead singer of the Ukrainian rock band Vopli Vidopliassova. The new text honors the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who fought and died in the Anti-Terrorist Operation Zone during the War in Donbass. According to Skrypka, the text was conceived while at the front in a volunteer unit.

The new march was presented for the first time in early 2017 on the eve of the Ukrainian Volunteer Day, and was performed by Skrypka in cooperation with the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.  On August 24, 2018, the modern version of the song was performed the first time at the Kyiv Independence Day Parade dedicated to the 27th anniversary of independence and the 100th anniversary of the UPR. In his opening address at the parade, President Petro Poroshenko sang an excerpt of the song, describing it as one that "symbolizes the inextricable bond between different generations of fighters for freedom of the homeland."

Hepp was born in Ulm in Bavaria, the son of military veterinarian Dr. Leo Hepp (1871–1950). He completed his secondary education at Karlsgymnasium in Stuttgart, taking his Abitur in the spring of 1925.

Career

Pre-war
After taking his Abitur earlier in 1925, Hepp enlisted in the Reichswehr and was assigned to Signals Detachment 5 in Bad Cannstatt. After attending the Infantry School in Dresden and Artillery School in Jüterbog, he was commissioned as a Leutnant in Signals Detachment 5 and a few years later he was promoted to Oberleutnant. From 1935 to 1937, Hepp was an intelligence instructor at the Munich Kriegsschule of the Wehrmacht.

World War II
During World War II, he initially served on the Western Front in France as a staff officer of the 12th Army, before being sent in December 1940 to the Balkans. On 2 March 1941 he arrived in Bucharest, and when the 12th Army participated in the occupation of Greece shortly thereafter he served as a logistics staff officer in Thessaloniki and Athens. From July 1942 to May 1943, he served as the personnel staff officer for the 9th Infantry Division, with the rank of Oberstleutnant. From February 1944 to the end of the war in May 1945, Hepp served as chief of staff for the Chief Signals Officer at the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, under General der Nachrichtentruppe Erich Fellgiebel and Generalleutnant Albert Praun.

Post-war
After the war, Hepp was kept as a prisoner of the United States military, and called as a witness at the Nuremberg Trials. He joined the Gehlen Organization, a German intelligence agency established in Allied-occupied Germany by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, serving as the head of signals intelligence from 1946 to 1956. Under Hepp's leadership, West Germany's first electronic listening posts were set up to spy on East Germany, including the famous post at Tutzing disguised as the private firm "Südlabor GmbH". His department of the Gehlen Organization was very helpful to the U.S. intelligence community's efforts to track the movements of Soviet fighter and attack aircraft units. His successor as head of signals intelligence was his old boss Albert Praun.

Bundeswehr
In September 1956, Hepp joined the newly formed armed forces of West Germany, the Bundeswehr. From December 1959 to October 1960, he was commander of the newly formed 10th Panzer Division headquartered in Sigmaringen. From October 1960 to September 1961, he was Deputy Inspector of the Army and Chief of the General Staff, based in Bonn. In October 1961, Hepp was appointed the commander of the II Corps headquartered in Ulm, and in February 1962, he was promoted to the rank of Generalleutant. While he was corps commander, he had to handle the controversy surrounding the "Nagold affair" in 1963. This ensued when a recruit collapsed from heat exhaustion during a march of the 6/9 Fallschirmjäger Training Company from Nagold on July 25, and died in hospital a week later. Hepp made the decision, without consulting the Federal Ministry of Defence, to disband the training company for not adhering to proper training methods. In May 1967, Hepp was awarded the Grand Cross of Merit with Star. In September 1967, Hepp retired from the Bundeswehr and passed command of II Corps on to Generalleutnant Karl Wilhlem Thilo.

Federal Intelligence Service
After his retirement from the military, Hepp returned briefly to intelligence, serving in the Federal Intelligence Service from 1970 to 1972 as the leader of the signals intelligence division at Pullach.

title: Guillaume Van Strydonck

text:
Guillaume Van Strydonck (10 December 1861, Namsos – 2 July 1937, Saint-Gilles) was a Norwegian-born Belgian painter. He was initially a realist, but later turned to impressionism.

Life and work
Van Strydonck was born in Norway, where his father was employed by a Belgian company, but left there at an early age. When he was twelve, he began taking drawing lessons from Edouard Agneessens. Beginning in 1876, he enrolled at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts, where he studied under Jean-François Portaels. Later, he studied with Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris.

In 1883, he became one of the founding members of the secessionist group Les XX. At this time his painting style began to rely more on color and the use of light to express fleeting moods and he is considered to be one of the creators of a style that came to be called luminism. In 1884, he was awarded the Prix Godecharle.

He was very fond of travelling. In 1886, he took a trip to Florida and lived in India from 1891 to 1896. On his return to Belgium, he settled in Weert, on the Schelde River, making the Belgian countryside his main theme. He was a lecturer at the Royal Academy from 1900 to 1931.

title: Daniele Gragnoli

text:
Daniele Gragnoli (born 3 January 1994) is an Italian professional footballer who plays Lanciano.

Biography
Born in Rome, capital of Lazio region as well as the capital of whole Italy, Gragnoli was a youth product of S.S. Lazio. However, he was released during 2005–06 season.

Ascoli Picchio
After leaving Lazio, Gragnoli became a member of Ascoli Calcio's youth teams. During 2009–10 season, he was the member of under-17 team in National "Allievi" League. From 2010 to 2013 Gragnoli had played 29 games in the reserve league – Campionato Nazionale Primavera. He also made his Serie B debut on 25 August 2012 against Varese, the first round of 2012–13 Serie B. He was a late substitute for Yonese Hanine. In the whole season he made 3 Serie B appearances.

Parma
On 27 June 2013 Gragnoli was signed by Parma in co-ownership deal in 5-year contract, with Emiliano Storani moved to opposite direction also in co-ownership. Both 50% registration rights of the players were valued €1.6 million. Gragnoli also returned to the city of Ascoli Picchio on 31 July, joining Mirko Ronchi who signed by Parma on 30 July but immediately returned to Ascoli. It also revealed that Ascoli had apparently break-even again (€147,877) and positive net asset (€1,050,445) due to the €3.2 million selling revenue of Gragnoli on 30 June 2013, despite the audit report was rejected.

Gragnoli made 10 more league appearances for Ascoli Picchio in 2013–14 Lega Pro Prima Divisione. Gragnoli also played for the reverse team (under-19 team) as overage player.

During that season, the club, Ascoli Calcio 1898 SpA was declared bankrupted on 17 December 2013, by the court of Ascoli Picchio. The court also estimated the residual value of the assets were €862,000, which the residual value of the players contract such as Storani as well as the value of retained registration rights, such as Gragnoli and Ronchi were valued zero instead of valuing them by flopped historical values. In February 2014 the assets were takeover by the only bid from Ascoli Picchio FC 1898 SpA.

On 20 June 2014 new Ascoli sold Gragnoli, Di Gennaro and Pasqualini to Parma outright, as well as Parma bought back Colomba and Tamási (on 1 July); Ascoli bought Bright Addae from Parma on 18 July in definitive deal; Di Gennaro and Ronchi also signed by Ascoli in temporary deals on 20 June.

On 30 August 2014 he was signed by Slovenian club ND Gorica in temporary deal. On 2 February 2015 the loan of Gragnoli and Modolo were terminated.

International career
Gragnoli played all 3 games of 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Championship elite round.

title: Handy (song)

text:
"Handy" is a song by American musician "Weird Al" Yankovic from his fourteenth studio album, Mandatory Fun (2014). The song is a parody of the 2014 single "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea, featuring Charli XCX. Yankovic met Azalea in person for permission to spoof the song, and he completed his track shortly before the album was mastered and released. "Handy" focuses on a character who brags about his abilities regarding various handyman tasks. The music video was released on July 17, 2014 and features Yankovic assuming the character portrayed in the song. "Handy" received a mixed response from music critics.

Recording

Eleven tracks had been completed for Mandatory Fun and a deadline had been set for the album release, but Yankovic wished to add a "big hit of the summer" to the set. He recalled that he determined the saturation point of "Fancy" by asking his daughter: "I said, 'Are they talking about Iggy Azalea at school?' And she says, 'Well, not so much.' I asked the same thing two weeks later and she said, 'Oh yeah, that's all they're talking about now!'" He then traveled from Los Angeles, California to Denver, Colorado to ask Azalea permission to parody her song. On June 7, 2014, Yankovic was backstage at KS107.5's Summer Jam where Azalea was set to perform. He explained in a radio interview at the event that if his request was approved, he would record his parody the next day.

Yankovic learned through a promoter that Azalea would be unable to speak to him at the venue, since she was preparing for her show. He was also told that the next opportunity to meet her would be in the United Kingdom; Yankovic felt this was "crazy" and decided to approach her directly. The encounter was described by TMZ as an "ambush" as Yankovic presented the potential parody lyrics to Azalea. He later clarified that the meeting was much more polite and blown out of proportion by TMZ. Yankovic also noted that meeting a spoof target in person is not his usual method for obtaining permission, but was necessary in this instance to meet the album deadline. "Handy" was recorded in June, and Yankovic announced that the album mastering process was complete that same month.

Composition
"Handy" is performed from the point of view of a person described in a Billboard review as "the world's most braggadocious contractor". The character portrayed in the song rhymes about various handyman tasks including installing countertops, tile floors, and repairing leaf blowers. The Wire noted that the only direct connection between the character and Azalea is the line "I got 99 problems but a switch ain't one", which refers to Azalea's appearance in the song "Problem". Allmusic noted that by focusing on its craftsman theme, the song "does a complete 180 thematically" from the original "Fancy".

Music video
Yankovic's publisher RCA Records opted not to finance any music videos for Mandatory Fun. Instead, Yankovic turned to various social media portals that helped to cover the production cost, with Yankovic foregoing any ad video revenue. This release strategy was considered by The Atlantic a "web-enabled precision video delivery operation, and evidence of some serious digital distributional forethought" as it allows the videos to be seen by different sets of audiences for each site.

The music video for "Handy" was released on July 17, 2014 through Yahoo! Screen's "Sketchy" channel, and is presented in the style of a late-night informercial with Yankovic performing as a residential general contractor. He is dressed as the character Schneider (played by Pat Harrington) from the 1970s television show One Day at a Time. The video includes appearances by Eddie Pepitone, Justin Giddings, and Ted Hollis.

Reception
Billboard expressed that while "Handy" opens with a "weak opening line", the rest of the song explores creative directions. A review by The Wire felt that the parody features clever lyrics, but "isn't quite catchy enough to be a hit".  The A.V. Club called it "a meticulous ape" of the original song, pointing out the electronic production and Yankovic's vocal delivery. Consequence of Sound questioned the lyrical subject matter by stating, "Really, who's going to get many laughs out of 'Handy' apart from that nonexistent cross-section of Bob Vila and Iggy Azalea fans?" The Arizona Republic ranked it the least of Yankovic's eight video-featured songs of the album, stating that while Yankovic's accent on the song is humorous, "The lyrics aren't as funny as the accent or the video." In an Exclaim! review, Vish Khanna highlighted song's theme and drew a parallel between craftsmen and Yankovic's profession as a parodist: "In a sense, this is what Yankovic does with other people's inventions; he tweaks them hard enough so that they might just be a little bit better."

title: Water Engineers for the Americas

text:
Water Engineers for the Americas (WEFTA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2002.

In rural populations around the world, approximately 15% of people do not have access to improved water systems, and between 30-50% have unimproved sanitation systems. Focusing on Latin American communities, WEFTA's mission is to ensure access to potable water and proper sanitation, reduce waterborne diseases, protect the environment and lessen the burden of hauling and disinfecting water on families, especially women and children.

Structure
WEFTA is an all-volunteer organization. The volunteer board of directors is made up of water engineers and community development professionals from several firms in the southwest United States, most notably Souder Miller & Associates (New Mexico) and Aqua Engineering (Utah). Engineers from these and other firms donate their expertise to help communities in Latin America build and maintain simple, inexpensive potable water and basic sanitation systems. Volunteers use vacation time or are on loan from their companies while on assignment. WEFTA works only when requested by the benefitting community, which covers the volunteer’s expenses on the ground. Transportation to projects is donated by individuals and through grants to cover overhead expenses through the Wallace Genetic Foundation. WEFTA also partners with UniversalGiving to raise fund for projects. 100% of any other donations received by WEFTA go directly to fund material costs for projects (such as PVC pipe, hand pumps, water purifiers, etc.).

How it works

A community needing water or sanitation generally hears about WEFTA through word of mouth. A leader of that community fills out an application and submits it to WEFTA in Santa Fe or to a local WEFTA volunteer. Before committing to a project, a WEFTA member meets with the entire community to identify the community leader who will manage the role of the beneficiaries of the project. The local community must collect 30-40% of the material cost of the project or apply for these funds from their municipalities or regional governments. WEFTA often matches these funds, which are low due to the low-tech nature of the projects. The community performs all unskilled labor and also collects materials such as gravel or sand, depending on the project. One or more water engineers visit and live within the community and design the simplest, most easy to maintain system possible to provide potable water and/or basic sanitation. The volunteer stays until the project is completed and WEFTA returns approximately every two years to ensure that the system is still functioning and is well maintained. Once a community is engaged with WEFTA, WEFTA guarantees to maintain and repair the water system for life with the help of the community.

Work to date

In 2011, WEFTA was invited by a group of municipalities in the Urubamba Valley of Peru—the Sacred Valley of the Incas and site of a quickly developing tourism industry—to devise a simple solution for waste water treatment of the polluted Urubamba river. WEFTA representatives have made several trips there and submitted plans to use cheap, effective organic biodigesters to replace the costly and inefficient traditional chemical or filtration plants.

In November 2013, WEFTA entered into a partnership with USAID-ACCESO]to promote health and livelihoods of over 300,000 residents of western Honduras with WEFTA upgrading and building new water system worth approximately US$350,000 to achieve those ends.

By May 2014, WEFTA had completed 62 projects in seven countries (Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Peru). These projects have directly provided approximately 3,400 families (17,000 individuals) with potable water and/or basic sanitation or waste water treatment. WEFTA has worked with partners around the country and at the request of Save the Children in Honduras, Habitat for Humanity in Guatemala and Peru, Lutheran World Relief and Homes from the Heart.

In addition to designing and building water systems, WEFTA also provides training and education to partners in the countries it serves, seeking to empower local engineers and technicians to carry forward the work WEFTA has started with community-based, self-help projects  WEFTA has also held several WASH-in-Schools programs and built toilet, shower and drinking-water facilities for regional schools in Peru and Bolivia.

title: Talenti

text:
Talenti is an American brand of gelato and sorbet produced by Unilever.  Talenti is named after Bernardo Buontalenti, who is credited with inventing gelato.

Talenti began in 2003 as a store-front gelateria in Dallas, Texas.  Founder Josh Hochschuler based his recipe on a traditional Argentine gelato-making method.  The gelateria was closed by 2005, and Hochschuler refocused the business as a maker of gelato for sale to restaurants, hotels and eventually grocery stores.

International foods conglomerate Unilever purchased the brand in 2014.  In 2017, production was moved from Marietta, Georgia, to Unilever's central ice cream producing facility in Sikeston, Missouri.

title: Muriel Robin

text:
Muriel Robin (; born 2 August 1955) is a French actress and comedian. She won an International Emmy Award for Best Actress in 2007 and received a nomination for a César Award in 2001 and six nominations for a Molière Award.

Early years
Muriel Robin is the youngest of three children of Antoine Robin and Aimée Rimbaud, who owned shoe-shops in Montbrison. She had two sisters, Nydia and Martine. In 1960, the family moved to Saint-Étienne. When she was very young, she liked to make people laugh and dreamed of becoming a singer. After a lacklustre school career and a love of parties, she ended up failing her Baccalauréat twice in a row. Unsure of which career to follow, she started to sell shoes in one of the family's three shops, without being really motivated.

In 1977, aged 22, she left Saint-Étienne for Paris, taking a course in dramatic arts at Cours Florent, the entry college for the National Superior
Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, in Paris. She graduated and returned to sell shoes in Saint-Étienne

The 1980s
In 1981, she joined Roger Louret, whom she had met in Paris, in Monclar, with his theatre company, Les Baladins en Agenais. Notable people that she met there include Elie Semoun and Annie Grégorio.
In 1983, she returned to Paris with Annie Grégorio to work at the Petit Théâtre de Bouvard., where she also met Didier Bénureau. She came up against the authoritarian methods of Philippe Bouvard, but, even so, he gave her a part in a play he had written, Double Foyer. Following that, she played in a role co-written with Didier Bénureau, Maman ou Donne-moi ton linge, je fais une machine, (Mother, or, Give me your laundry, I am washing a load), in 1986, in Avignon, and in 1987 in Paris, at the Théâtre de Dix heures. The play was later shown in Monclar at the Théâtre de Poche.
She became known to the wider public, towards the end of the 1980s through a television programme called La Classe, broadcast by FR3 (which became France 3). Muriel Robin met and became good friends with Pierre Palmade. They created her first one-woman-show together, Les majorettes se cachent pour mourir, in 1988, directed by Roger Louret. This programme was a success and pushed Robin into the limelight.

The 1990s
During the 1990s, Robin appeared in plays including Tout m’Enerve, Bedos-Robin a collaboration with Roger Louret, Feu la Ma La Mère, and On Purge Bébé. She also presented on radio, on Europe 1, with her programme, Tout Robin.
In 1997, she obtained her first role in cinema, replacing Valérie Lemercier in Les Couloirs du temps : Les Visiteurs 2 by Jean-Marie Poiré. The same year she wrote and directed with Pierre Palmade in the play, Ils s'aiment,(They Love Each Other) played by Pierre Palmade and Michèle Laroque, which was a success and received a nomination for the Molière for the Best One-Man-Show or Sketch Show.

The 2000s
In May, 2000, she announced that she would finish with the genre of the one-woman-show and concentrate on her profession as a comedian, but also that year, took her first big role in cinema in the eponymous role of Marie-Line, by Medhi Charef. Other roles on stage and screen followed, in the following years.

Personal life
Robin is a lesbian, and has been out since she was young. Her partner is actress and producer .

She has strongly criticized the French film industry for blacklisting and refusing to cast LGBTQ actors, describing this behavior as "if you are gay, you are not desirable". While straight actors are seen as extending their acting range by taking LGBTQ roles, LGBTQ actors are, she says, routinely denied the opportunity to take straight roles. Robin says studios refused to cast her in serious roles due to her sexuality.

Support for charity
Between 1992 and 2007, Muriel Robin was active in supporting concerts by the Enfoirés given for "the Restos du Cœur" created by Coluche and of which she became a sponsor until 2007. In 2001 she became equally involved with the journalist Marine Jacquemin in "La Chaine de l’Espoir" (The Chain of Hope) organised by the French Medical Institute for "L'Enfant de Kaboul" (The child of Kabul), in Afghanistan. This hospital opened in 2005.

In 2022 French actors cut their hair in support of women in Iran. The protesters included Marion Cotillard and Juliette Binoche, as well as Isabelle Adjani, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin and Muriel Robin.

title: Kompania Handlowa Polska

text:
Kompania Handlowa Polska (English: Polish Trade Company), also known as Black Sea Trade Company (Kompania Handlu Czarnomorskiego), Black Sea Company (Kompania Czarnomorska), and Kherson Company (Kompania Chersonska) was a Joint-stock company which existed in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1783–1793. It controlled international trade of the Commonwealth via the Black Sea ports. Kompania Handlowa Polska was formally opened by Antoni Protazy Potocki on March 18, 1783 in Winnica, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (now: Vinnytsia, Ukraine).

Following the First Partition of Poland (1772), the Commonwealth lost land connection with its major Baltic Sea port, Gdańsk. Polish goods, transported northwards along the Vistula, were subject to high Prussian duties, with tax offices located at Fordon and Kwidzyn. As a result, Polish merchants and magnates were forced to find another trade route. Main Polish export at that time was agricultural produce from fertile lands of Polish Ukraine (see chernozem).

From 1768 Poland was a de facto Russian Empire protectorate. Furthermore, as a result of the Russo-Turkish War (1768–74), the Russians seized Black Sea coast together with the Crimea, and gained free pass of their ships through the Turkish Straits. Polish magnates decided to take advantage of this, and approached Russian government, asking for permission to use their Black Sea ports.

In early 1783, Empress Catherine the Great allowed Poles to use the port of Kherson, built in 1775. Soon afterwards, a Polish consulate was opened there, together with a department store. No Russian duties were imposed on Polish goods at Kherson. In 1785, Antoni Protazy Potocki purchased land in the town of Jampol, and built there the Dniester river port, together with warehouses.

Potocki personally talked to a number of magnates and merchants, urging them to abandon the Vistula river trade, and move southwards, to Polish Ukraine. He was supported by Michał Ossowski, a merchant from Pomerelia, Potocki's friend and adviser. Ossowski was chief agent of Prot Potocki's bank, also operating company's office in Kherson.

At first the company transported its goods only to Kherson, where they were loaded on Russian ships, and transported to Western European ports. Later on, the company bought several ships, with mostly international crews. First ship of Trade Company Poland was Św. Michał; in 1784, Polska, Ukraina, Podole, Jampol and Św. Prot were bought. As a result of these purchases, first regular Polish merchant fleet was created. Its ships sailed mostly from Kherson to Marseilles, but also to Barcelona, and Alexandria.

Ships of the Company Fleet used a modified Russian Navy Ensign, with a blue St. Andrew's Cross and a Polish eagle on a red rectangle in upper left corner. This banner was a compromise: according to international treaties, only ships equipped with Habsburg and Russian banners were allowed to pass through the Turkish Straits. Polish historian Antoni Rolle argues however that ships of the Company Fleet used a traditional Polish banner (white eagle on red field), which was changed only for the passage through the straits.

The development of Black Sea trade resulted in decrease in Polish exports through Baltic Sea ports of Gdańsk and Königsberg (Królewiec). Furthermore, prices of Ukrainian grains went up.

The price of shares of the company was estimated at 1000 red zlotys, with maximum number of ten shares per a shareholder. Its statute allowed foreigners to purchase shares, and the company was personally supported by King Stanisław August Poniatowski, who himself negotiated with Catherine the Great the conditions of usage of the port of Kherson. Furthermore, it enjoyed the support of Primate Michał Jerzy Poniatowski.

The development of Black Sea trade was slow, due to several factors, such as:
 underdevelopment of Ukrainian agriculture and infrastructure,
 financial problems of Polish merchants,
 long and hazardous route from Kherson to Western Europe, via the Mediterranean,
 high costs of transport,
 natural obstacles along the Dniestr river route, such as rocks and waterfalls near Jampol.

The company began to decline after the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish War (1787–92), when most ships were seized by the Russians to transport their troops. By 1793, it virtually ceased to exist, also because of financial problems of Potocki and loss of agricultural lands in the second partition of Poland. Furthermore, one of its major investors, Warsaw bank of Tepper-Ferguson declared bankruptcy.

title: Our Lady of Berdyczow

text:
Our Lady of Berdyczow (; ) is a 17th-century icon of the Virgin Mary, patterned after Rome’s Our Lady of the Snows. The icon, whose size was 70 x 51 centimeters, was crowned on 16 July 1756. At that time, it was kept at a Roman Catholic shrine at Berdyczow, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (now: Berdychiv, Ukraine). The shrine in Berdyczhow was the most important such location of the Kiev Voivodeship, and whole Polish Ukraine (see Shrines to the Virgin Mary).

The original painting of Our Lady of Berdyczow perished in a 1941 fire. Its copy (143 x 93 cm) was made in 1991 by a painter and restorer from Krakow, Bozena Mucha-Sowinska.

History
The history of the shrine dates back to 1630, when Voivode of Kiev Janusz Tyszkiewicz built a Discalced Carmelites church and a monastery, as a votum for his release from Ottoman captivity. Tyszkiewicz presented to the church the icon of Virgin Mary, kept by his family. Due to numerous wars and conflicts of the 17th century, the icon was kept at Lwów (1648-1721) and Lublin (1722-1736).

Since the Berdyczow icon was associated with several miracles, Pope Benedict XIV agreed to crown it with golden crowns. The coronation took place on 16 July 1756, and the ceremony was led by Bishop of Kiev Kajetan Soltyk. From May 28 until 14 June 1768, Polish rebels under Kazimierz Pulaski defended the monastery from Russian troops (see Bar Confederation). In 1820, when Berdyczow was part of the Russian Empire, the papal crowns were stolen. Pope Pius IX sent new ones, and the re-crowning ceremony took place on 6 June 1856, ordained by Bishop of Luck and Zytomierz, Kasper Borowski.

In 1924, Soviet authorities seized the monastery together with the church, opening here a museum and a cinema. The icon was preserved as a piece of art. In 1941, the complex, together with the icon, burned in a great fire.

Carmelite monks returned to Berdychiv in 1991. On 19 July 1997, Bishop of Kiev and Zhytomir, Jan Purwinski, blessed the copy of the original icon. The third crowning of Our Lady of Berdychiv took place on 19 July 1998.

On 27 October 2001, the church at Berdychiv was named all-Ukrainian national sanctuary.

title: Cosmic Horseshoe

text:
The Cosmic Horseshoe is the nickname given to a gravitationally lensed system of two galaxies in the constellation Leo.

The foreground galaxy lies  directly in front in the line of sight to a more distant galaxy. Due to the passage of the light from the background galaxy through the gravity field of the foreground galaxy, the background galaxy's light is lensed by the warped spacetime environment of the foreground galaxy, thus giving the background galaxy a warped appearance. Unlike most lensed galaxies, the shape of the lensed light of this background galaxy appears shaped like a horseshoe.

The foreground galaxy, LRG 3-757, is found to be extremely massive, with a mass a hundred times that of this galaxy. It is notable because it belongs to a rare class of galaxies called luminous red galaxies, which has an extremely luminous infrared emission.

The system was discovered in 2007 by an international team of scientists using the comprehensive Sloan Digital Sky Survey and is greatly studied by the Hubble Space Telescope.
