title: Ricardo Chéu

text:
Ricardo José Moutinho Chéu (born 14 May 1981) is a Portuguese football manager, currently in charge of U.D. Vilafranquense.

He managed Penafiel for four Primeira Liga games in 2014, while also leading six teams in the second tier. Abroad, he worked in Italy, Slovakia and Cyprus.

Managerial career
After leading Académico de Viseu to a mid-table finish in the 2013–14 season, Chéu was appointed in May 2014 as the new coach of Penafiel. Following three defeats in the first four games of the 2014–15 season, he left by mutual consent.

In November 2014, two months after departing from Penafiel, Chéu returned to management by returning to former side Académico de Viseu. In his second stint with the Viriatos, Chéu led them to a twelfth-place finish. The following season saw him depart in February 2016 after a string of poor results.

On 25 October 2016, Chéu succeeded Carlos Brito at Freamunde. After seven wins and six draws from 22 games in the second division, he resigned on 1 April following a 4–2 loss at Braga B.

Chéu returned to work on 14 December 2017 as the third manager of the season at 18th-placed União da Madeira. His team were relegated on the final day after a 3–2 loss at Cova da Piedade, whose winner came in the fourth minute of added time.

In July 2018 Chéu moved to Italy, accepting the role of head coach of newly promoted Serie C club Rieti. He resigned on 30 December following the club's change of ownership.

On 9 January 2019 Chéu was named new head coach of Slovak Super Liga club Senica on an 18-month deal, with the club second from bottom. Having avoided relegation, he moved in June to Spartak Trnava in the same league. He was replaced a year later, after coming fifth.

Chéu returned to his country's second tier on 11 September 2021, succeeding Rui Santos at 13th-placed Estrela da Amadora. He left by mutual consent at the end of the season on 1 June, having fallen one place in the table over his spell.

Chéu was hired at Doxa Katokopias of the Cypriot First Division in August 2022 and began his tenure on 29 August with a goalless draw away to the previous season's runners-up, AEK Larnaca. He left before the end of the calendar year and returned to Portugal's second tier on 9 February 2023 at Vilafranquense.

title: MV Fugro Equator

text:
MV Fugro Equator is a survey vessel owned and operated by Dutch company Fugro to provide a range of offshore survey capabilities.

History

Fugro took delivery of the ship on 27 July 2012. She is the third specially-designed, dedicated survey vessel delivered to Fugro and was planned to serve in the Asia-Pacific region.

The ship was contracted to conduct a bathymetric survey in the southern Indian Ocean during the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The survey was needed to produce a bathymetric map of the sea floor of the search area, which was previously poorly mapped and largely uncharted and mountainous, before a phase of the search using a towed side-scan sonar vehicle and autonomous underwater vehicles which need to operate close to the seafloor. In August 2017, it was announced that Fugro had been awarded the contract for that phase of the search and that Fugro Equator and sister ship Fugro Discovery would conduct the search (with some assistance from Malaysian & Chinese naval vessels).

In December 2017, Fugro Equator conducted a search for the submarine HMAS AE1 lost in 1914, possibly due to a diving accident, off the Duke of York Islands. This expedition was funded by the Commonwealth Government and the Silentworld Foundation with additional assistance from the Submarine Institute of Australia and the Australian National Maritime Museum. As a result of this effort, the submarine was found at a depth of  and was seen to be well preserved and in one piece. The exact location of the wreck was not announced by the Australian government at the time of discovery, in order to protect it from "unauthorised salvage attempts". The government's stated position is that the wreck will be treated as a war grave.

Equipment
The ship has digital seismic, acoustic, seabed, and sub-seabed mapping equipment as well as a dedicated Hugin 1000 autonomous underwater vehicle (capable of reaching 3,000 m depths).

title: Osgood T. Hadley

text:
Osgood Towns Hadley (January 19, 1838 – October 5, 1914) was a Union Army soldier in the American Civil War who received the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.

Hadley was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, on January 19, 1838. He married Susan F Carter (1841–1861) of Peterborough, New Hampshire, on November 14, 1860. She died September 17, 1861, and Hadley enlisted and was mustered into Federal service November 27, 1861, at Peterborough, New Hampshire.

He was awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism on September 30, 1864, while serving as a corporal with Company E, 6th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, at Pegram House, Virginia. Despite heavy enemy fire, Corporal Hadley retrieved and defended his colors and brought it back to his regiment. His Medal of Honor was issued, on July 27, 1896.

After returning to New Hampshire, he married  Sarah Naomi Ball (1848–1867) on September 22, 1865. She died July 4, 1867. The twice-widowed Hadley married a third time on November 25, 1868, to Lucy H. Brown Hadley (1845–1871). They had a son Willis Osgood Hadley (1870–1916) before she also died on January 15, 1871.

He died at the age of 76, on  October 5, 1914, having outlived three wives, and was buried at the Southborough Rural Cemetery  in Worcester County, Massachusetts. His son only survived him by two years, dying at the Glencliffe Sanitorium from tuberculosis at age 45. However, his daughter-in-law and six grandchildren all lived lengthy lives into the second half of the twentieth century.

The Osgood T. Hadley Memorial Bridge in Southborough, Massachusetts, is named in his honor.

title: L.A. Mix

text:
L.A. Mix were a British group composed of DMC mixer and club DJ Les Adams (29 November 1955 – 2 September 2019), his production partner and wife Emma Freilich and multi-instrumentalist Mike Stevens. All of the group's seven singles charted on the UK Singles Chart.

Biography
L.A. Mix consisted of then husband-and-wife team Les Adams and Emma Freilich, and Mike Stevens.

Their first hit was in 1987, "Don't Stop (Jammin')", which was based on a simple 8-track demo that Adams had formed in his home studio, and made No. 47 on the UK Singles Chart. That record got L.A. Mix in trouble, as the bassline had been taken from the song "Love Is the Message", resulting in Vincent Montana Jr. attempting to take an injunction out on the group.

The record deal was initially only for one single, but then Adams remixed Maurice Joshua's "This Is Acid" by taking the vocals, adding a synth lead from Black Riot's "A Day in the Life", using the rhythm synth from Inner City's "Big Fun", sirens from some of Todd Terry's records and some assorted sexual screams of unknown origin from his collection, and as a result the record went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Songs chart. Thus, the record label decided to release another single.

That single was "Check This Out", which reached No. 6 in the UK in 1988 and was their biggest hit. That also raised legal ire, this time of the then-owner of Easy Street Records as the song included a short sample of "You Don't Know" by Serious Intention, and the owner of that label was one of New York's top lawyers. The matter was settled out of court for $15,000. It is not to be confused by a Hardhouse song of the same name, also released in 1988.

Next, in 1989 they released "Get Loose", which featured rapping by Pauline Bennett (under her stage name Jazzi P) and charted at #25 after they had been diagnosed by the songwriting team of Stock, Aitken and Waterman as being "unlikely to have another hit". A fourth single, also released in 1989, "Love Together" featuring Kevin Henry, charted at #66. These four singles were aggregated on the album On the Side, which was released in 1989.

In 1990, the first of three singles from L.A. Mix's second album was released. "Coming Back for More", also the title track of the new album, was released as a single. The song featured vocals from Franseco (Leslie George), and charted at #50. In 1991, "Mysteries of Love", featuring Beverlei Brown on lead vocals, Marcus C on rap and co-production from Andy Whitmore, was released and made #46. Their final single, "We Shouldn't Hold Hands in the Dark", also featured vocals from Franseco but also from Juliet Roberts and charted at #69. L.A. Mix also produced two UK top 40 singles (one of which was a top ten hit) for Dannii Minogue's 1991 album, Love and Kisses; "I Don't Wanna Take This Pain" and "Jump to the Beat". They also produced work for Krush vocalist Ruth Joy, on her 1992 MCA album, Pride and Joy.

On 2 September 2019, it was announced that Les Adams had suffered a heart attack and died, after having suffered heart problems for some time.

title: Keesingia

text:
Keesingia gigas, the "giant" (Greek gigas) Keesingia, is one of two new species of Irukandji jellyfish, the only one of the genus Keesingia in the Alatinid family.

Found off the north-west coast of Western Australia, the species is able to deliver an extremely deadly sting which can cause the victim to experience the Irukandji syndrome which can cause pain, nausea, vomiting and in some rare instances stroke or heart failure.

About the length of a person's arm, the species is unique because Irukandji jellyfish are usually the size of a finger nail. Moreover, none of the specimens found so far have tentacles.  It was named after the marine biologist John Keesing, who captured one near Shark Bay in 2013. This and another new species bring the total number of jellyfish known to cause Irukandji syndrome worldwide up to 16, four them coming from Western Australia.

title: Georg Henisch

text:
Georg Henisch (1549–1618) was a physician, humanist, educator, astronomer, mathematician and a professor of St. Ann Gymnasium in Augsburg, Germany, in the 16th and early 17th centuries.

Life
Georg Henisch was born in Bartfeld (now Bardejov) in north-eastern Hungary (now Slovakia). The family moved to Bartfeld from Lower Saxony seeking religious freedom. His father Johannes was an attorney and worked for the city of Bartfeld. Henisch was educated in the Latin School run by Leonard Stockel and later spent three or four years at Wittenberg University (1570–1574). Subsequently he moved to Paris, Leipzig, and Basel, where in 1576 he obtained the title of Doctor of Medicine. In 1575 he was hired by an outstanding educator, Hieronymus Wolf, then-rector of St Ann Gymnasium in Augsburg, to teach rhetoric, philosophy, geography and astronomy on one year's probation. A year later he received tenure at St Ann Gymnasium and served there as a professor until his retirement in 1616. In 1576 he married the daughter of Augsburg pharmacist Phillip Wirsburg and had one daughter and three sons. Their son Phillip was later a professor of medicine at Montpellier. From 1576 until his death in 1618 he served as a city physician in Augsburg and was elected four times as the Dean of College of Physicians in Augsburg.

Work
He is the author of more than thirty publications, including translations of Hesiod's poetry and the writings of the Cappadocian physician Arateus retained by the town library in Augsburg, Germany. His most outstanding publication was a thesaurus of the German language (1616; only the first volume from A to G was completed). He was a Protestant but served as a consultant to Pope Gregory XIII and contributed calculations to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582. His work alienated him from the Protestant elderly of the town of Augsburg because of their resistance to accepting the new calendar. Together with a fellow teacher, Simon Fabricus, he attempted to establish a free public university associated with St Ann Gymnasium, open to anyone who wished to learn. The timing was wrong due to the prevailing trend of the Counter-Reformation. He was in charge of the library at St Ann Gymnasium and published first, in German lands, a printed catalogue of the library including 8,500 titles. Only one of his books, The Principles of Geometry, Astronomie, and Geographie, was translated into English by Francis Cooke during his lifetime and published in London in 1591. He published several almanacs linking appearances of comets to major events, including weather predictions for the upcoming years between 1575 and 1616.

Beinecke Library at Yale University has several of Henisch's publications, including a copy of his German-language thesaurus published in 1616.

title: Oh Daddy (Fleetwood Mac song)

text:
"Oh Daddy" is a song written by Christine McVie that was first performed by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac as the tenth song off their 1977 album Rumours.

Background
Christine McVie wrote "Oh Daddy" for the band's drummer, Mick Fleetwood. At the time, Fleetwood was the only father in the band, with two daughters. However, both Lindsey Buckingham's former girlfriend Carol Ann Harris and Stevie Nicks' biographer Zoe Howe have written that the song was originally written for the band's lighting director, who McVie had been dating at the time. Both Harris and Howe contend McVie only later claimed that the song was written for Fleetwood.

During the Rumours sessions, the band jokingly referred to the song as 'Addy' due to a technical mishap. Caillat had made the mistake while playing back a take. "We were going to do some overdubs, and while rewinding the tape, a portable tape oscillator fell on the machine, sending it into free-wheel – the reels were spinning out of control. I jumped on the machine to stop it - and snapped the tape! Oh, man... [laughs] We listened back and there it was: ‘Oh ‘addy.’ The ‘D’ part of Christine’s vocal was cut off. My heart sunk."

Near the end of one take, Christine McVie played random notes on her keyboard to grab the attention of the engineers in the control room. The band opted to keep these unplanned additions in the final version of the song.

Producer Ken Caillat described "Oh Daddy" as "a beautiful, airy song." He noted that getting the proper tempo was particularly tricky since it sounded rushed at a quicker tempo but lethargic at a slower pace.  Fleetwood Mac biographer Cath Carroll praised McVie's vocal and likened the song to a "sexy, old English version of The Rolling Stones' 'Fool to Cry'." In 2012, Fleetwood listed "Oh Daddy" as one of his 11 greatest recordings.

In 1978, it was released as a single in Japan, with "I Don't Want to Know" as the B-side.

"Oh Daddy" was played consistently throughout the band's Rumours and Tusk world tours, and resurfaced for the 1997 The Dance tour before disappearing once again.

title: Brian Riley (ice hockey)

text:
Brian Riley is an American ice hockey coach and the third consecutive member of his family to coach at Army.

Career
Brian Riley made his debut at the college ranks as a freshman for Brown in 1979. While the team didn't enjoy much success in his four years there, Riley was able to use the experience to begin a college coaching career a year after graduating in 1983 when he became an assistant at SUNY-Plattsburgh. After three seasons Riley jumped up to the Division I ranks with Lowell but remained at the job for only one season.

Riley returned to his hometown of West Point in 1989–90 as an assistant coach under his brother Rob, remaining there until 1996 when he left to take on his first head coaching job at Shattuck-Saint Mary's, a preeminent prep school. Riley coached the Sabres for two years before leaving to return to West Point, remaining as an assistant until his brother stepped down as head coach in 2004, making way for Brian to run the family business.

title: William Serle

William Serle  (29 July 1912 – 7 October 1992) was a Scottish ornithologist, doctor, and Church of Scotland minister.

Biography

Serle was born in Duddingston manse in Edinburgh in July 1912, the son of the Rev William Serle (1866-1947), minister of Duddingston Kirk, and his wife, Isabella Ingram.

He was a student at George Watson's Boys' College from 1918 to 1930. He then went to study medicine at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1935. He took a job as a doctor in the Colonial Service, and sailed to Nigeria in 1937. He lived in Nigeria and the Cameroons for the next 20 years. During World War II, Serle joined the West African Field Ambulance Corps, seeing active service in India and Burma. For his valorous service, he was mentioned in dispatches twice and made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).

In 1956, Serle married Sheila Lawrie. They had five daughters and one son. In October 1957 Serle returned to the University of Edinburgh to study to become a minister. He was ordained in 1959 and made minister of Drumoak Church near Aberdeen, where he served for 28 years. Serle's health deteriorated in the mid-1980s, so he left Drumoak and retired at Ratho near Edinburgh, where he died on 7 October 1992. He is buried with his parents in Duddingston Kirkyard. The grave lies immediately south of the church.

Serle's father had an interest in birds, and was a member of the British Ornithologists' Union, so he may have picked up his interest in ornithology from his father. His first ornithological publication appeared in the Scottish Naturalist when he was only 18. Over his lifetime he published a total of 65 scientific articles or books on ornithology, of which about sixty dealt with African birds. His best-known work is the 1977 The Collins Field Guide to the Birds of West Africa, which he coauthored with G. J. Morel and which was illustrated by Wolfgang Hartwig. In addition to writing, Serle was a very active collector. He amassed a collection of about 10,000 study skins, as well as numerous eggs and nests. His collections of thousands of eggs and nests are now at the National Museum of Scotland (which also has his father's collection) along with detailed notes connected to them. Most of his study skins are at the Natural History Museum at Tring, and 500 are in the National Museum of Scotland. Serle named two species, the white-throated mountain babbler (Kupeornis gilberti) and Mount Kupe bushshrike (Telophorus kupeensis). James Chapin named a subspecies of Xavier's greenbul, Phyllastrephus xavieri serlei, in his honour.

Through his efforts, Serle greatly expanded the understanding of the birds of western Africa. Later in his life, he was unconvinced that ecological and ethological studies of birds were of great value. Writing in the Ibis after Serle's death, A. G. Marshall said that Serle was "a man somewhat out of his time, a Victorian naturalist and cleric," but that Serle's work was valuable because when he arrived in western Africa, extensive collecting and meticulous taxonomic work still "was vitally needed."

title: Sentris

text:
Sentris is a music video game where players solve puzzles by composing musical loops. Following a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in October 2013, an early access version of the game was released for Linux, Microsoft Windows and OS X in August 2014, with an official release in August 2015. A PlayStation 4 version is planned for the future. An Ouya version was in development, until the Razer acquisition rendered the contract void.

Gameplay
In Sentris, players drop musical notes from various instruments onto a set of rotating concentric circles, these circles represent musical loops which replay the music to the player. Within these circles lie puzzle targets, players must drop the correct note onto the target to succeed. Aside from the puzzle gameplay, Sentris also offers performance and remix modes.

Development

Sentris is designed and developed by Samantha Kalman, founder and director of Timbre Interactive. While Kalman had prior experience shipping software as QA director at Unity, Sentris is her first commercial video game. Given her experience, Unity was a natural choice for the game engine, Kalman also cites Unity's low cost as an important factor in her decision.

Kalman began working on Sentris full-time in the Summer of 2013. She had first attempted full-time games development in 2011, and though that attempt failed, it did produce Sen, a free music video game with many of the concepts that would be found in Sentris. Kalman was inspired to make a music video game by her time spent playing in a band, she wanted to create a game which captured the joy of creation she felt during jam sessions. Kalman is collaborating with musicians, Danny Baranowsky, Disasterpeace and Kasson Crooker on the game.

A well received showing of a Sentris prototype at the 2013 Seattle Indies Expo encouraged Kalman to seek funding on Kickstarter. The crowdfunding campaign began in October 2013 seeking to raise , it concluded in November 2013 with  raised. Though the campaign was a success, Kalman found it challenging to shift from developing the game to marketing it. She said that if she were to run future Kickstarter campaigns, she would have more help, and better plan the announcements during the campaign.

An alpha version of Sentris was released as an early access title in August 2014. The full version was originally intended for a 2014 release, but has since been delayed until Summer 2015. Planned updates include an engine upgrade to Unity 5, which will allow Kalman to access "the [new] audio mixer, new audio effects, and a ton of under-the-hood audio improvements."

title: Atlético Potosino

text:
Atletico Potosino was a Mexican football team that played most of their years in the Mexican First Division. Was last held in the city of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. They were known by the nickname of Cachorros and played with blue uniform with two vertical stripes on the left side of about 7 cm wide yellow and white that meant gold and silver that were exploited by the Spaniards in colonial times and their shield was the water box emblem historical monument of the city.

History
The team was founded in 1972 by the name of Pumas de la Universidad Autonoma de San Luis (UASLP-Pumas), debuting at Segunda División de México. At first it was regarded as an inferior when compared to the San Luis which had been founded in 1966 and then active in the Primera Division Mexicana.

After two seasons in Segunda Division de Mexico, the team was invited by the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol part of the Primera Division Mexicana for the season 1974–1975, with the aim of expanding the league to 20 teams, the other club was invited Unión de Curtidores, this privilege were given at the end as semi-finalists in the second division, but the name UASLP-Pumas had to be changed to Atlético Potosino because UNAM did not allow the team used the same nickname. In the 1973–1974 season, Club San Luis had dropped to the second division and Atletico Potosino had taken the place as the main team in the region.

In the 1975–1976 season the team was in serious relegation trouble and played a relegation playoff against Atlante to decide who descended. With an aggregate score of 2–1 Atletico Potosino achieved permanence and send Atlante to Segunda División.

For the 1976 season San Luis returns the maximum circuit and gives a rise to a Potosino classic. They would play two games in the 1976–1977 season, the first of which was at Week 14 ended in a 1–1 tie, while the second was in Week 33 with a score of 2–0 for the San Luis. This season both teams qualified for the playoffs but did not face each other again. In 1977 the San Luis was sold to Tampico and the city of San Luis would only have one team.

Atletico Potosino continued with outstanding seasons in the top level, reaching three liguillas. Their best season was 1978–1979, in which they finished in fifth place overall command of Alberto Guerra.

In 1983–1984 season they played another relegation playoff against Unión de Curtidores and once again were saved from relegation. But it fell disastrously in the campaign 1988–1989 season with Jesus de Anda as coach, his last match was a 4–0 defeat against the Tampico Madero

His last 3 seasons in the first division were contrasting, in the 1986–87 season they were just a point to qualify for the playoffs with a team formed by 80% by Potosinos players, including notable players such as René Isidoro García, Mauricio Lopez Victor Medina, reinforced by players Nelson Sanhueza, Chilean Luis "Cholo" Castro, the Paraguayan Eligio Torres and other prominent players. The manager in this tournament was José Camacho.

For the following season the team did not reinforce themselves leading to Jose Camacho was soon sacked, and Pedro Araya was hired, he could but he was unable to help the team to top form. Then after the Argentine Luis Grill Prieto coached the last match and saves the team from relegation after earning a tie against Correcaminos, with a goal from midfielder Jaime Leon.

In the 88–89 season, the team suffered the losses of key players coming pretty bad reinforcements as the Chilean Juan "Rapido" Rojas, and some other players who did not perform as expected, Rodolfo Villegas, Paco Uribe, Rafael Bautista among others, emerging as figure midfielder David Rangel. This caused the team to be relegated to Segunda Division.

Their last two seasons in the Liga de Ascenso went unnoticed until the owner decided to sell the franchise.

Achter played college baseball at Michigan State University. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels.

High school
Achter attended Clay High School in Oregon, Ohio, where he starred for the school's baseball and basketball teams. In his senior year, 2007, Achter had a 7–1 win–loss record with a 0.92 earned run average (ERA) and 102 strikeouts, as well as batting .429 and leading his team to their second straight district championship. He threw a no-hitter against Findlay High School, and was named Toledo City League Player of the Year, tournament MVP, first team All-Toledo City League, and first team All-Ohio.

He was assigned to the Arizona Fall League after the season.

In 2014, Achter began the year at AA with the New Britain Rock Cats but did not remain there for long; after 6.2 scoreless innings in which Achter allowed three hits, one walk, and struck out 11, he was promoted to the AAA Rochester Red Wings where he was the only Red Wings' player selected to the 2014 AAA All-Star Game. On September 1 his contract was selected by the Twins and he was called up the Majors for the first time in his career. Two days later he made his Major League debut against the Chicago White Sox, pitching one inning in relief and not allowing a run.

title: CAMBRA

text:
CAMBRA is an acronym for Caries Management by Risk Assessment.  It describes a preventative form of dentistry in which patients are categorized by their relative risk for developing dental caries, based on risk factors including diet, oral hygiene, fluoride regiment, and past oral health history.

The CAMBRA system was developed as an evidence-based approach to the prevention, reversal, and treatment of patients with dental caries. The emphasis is on the whole disease process and employs the caries balance method, taking account of all factors that contribute to the development of dental caries (attacking factors) and all factors that research has shown to be protective from dental caries (defense factors). The assessment of this balance not only helps establish risk but suggests the correct strategies to prevent or reverse the process.
The CAMBRA system provides a more in-depth assessment tool as a key element of the overall approach and takes account of:
Caries disease indicators: Socio-economic status, developmental problems, and presence of lesions or restorations placed within the previous 3 years.
Caries risk factors: Visible accumulations of plaque and quantitative assessment of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli, frequent snacking, saliva flow and salivary modifying factors, fissure anatomy, root surface exposure, and the presence of appliances.
Caries protective factors: Systemic and topical fluoride sources, adequate saliva flow, xylitol in the diet, use of calcium and phosphate paste or chlorhexidine.
Clinical examination: Presence of white spots, decalcifications, restorations, plaque deposits.
The tool assigns patients to low, moderate, high, or extreme risk and offers two formats, one for patients aged 0-5 years, and one for 6 years onward.
A key benefit of CAMBRA is that it forces both the dental professional and the patient (or their caregiver) to consider all the factors relevant to the patient’s risk and disease state, shifting the focus away from the traditional restorative approach of cavitation and restoration toward the cause of the disease and the need to modify the causes wherever possible. It also allows for greater communication and understanding between all members of the dental team.

title: Bandhukkal Sathrukkal

text:
Bandhukkal Shathrukkal () is a 1993 Indian Malayalam-language comedy drama film, written, directed and produced by Sreekumaran Thampi, who also wrote and composed the songs. The film stars Jayaram, Mukesh, Rohini and Rupini. Both the film and the songs became blockbusters.

Plot

Bandhukkal Sathrukkal is the story of sibling rivalry between Viswabharan and Damodaran, both money lenders. The story is told by Sakshi, who appears in the scene in key moments and directs the story. Elder brother Damodaran's business is booming, whereas younger brother Viswambharan is financially struggling and is an alcoholic. Their wives Kamalakshi and Dakshayani also maintain animosity. Viswabharan's daughter Sheela is struggling with simple schizophrenia. Damodaran  has two sons; the elder son Uthaman is assisting father in the business, while the younger son Chandran is kind-hearted and interested in social activism.

Anamala Haridas, a talented but struggling singer arrives in the village searching for his estranged aunt Maniyamma and her daughter, Sakunthala. Haridas falls in love with Sheela in a case of mistaken identity, without realising that she is mentally ill. A relationship develops between Chandran and Sakunthala. When Chandran admits about his relationship with Sakunthala, his dad opposes him. Meanwhile, Uthaman takes advantage of the situation and tells Chandran to sign a document claiming he will not trouble his dad and the family, asking for any support after marriage. Uthaman marries Sugandhi, who is the daughter of Vasu Contractor and in the first day itself, she traps Uthaman in her line.

Chandran goes to Sakunthala's house along with his dad for the marriage fixation, where Damodaran insults her. Hearing this, Haridas raises his voice and says that she is the daughter of the wealthiest man Ananda Kuruppu, who is his uncle and he will make the marriage grand. Chandran marries Sakuntala, after the marriage, Sheela takes the garland of Chandran (who is her cousin) to Haridas's neck and declares herself married, which is approved by the people. Sakuntala gets hugely insulted by Dakshayani, but she stands firm, to which all succumb.

Viswabharan has a huge debt to be cleared and he seeks the help of Vasu Contractor who worked under him, but is left empty handed. One event leads to another and finally Chandran, along with his wife, moves out of his home. Chandran gets to know that his brother has taken away all the property. Viswabharan comes to seek apology from his elder brother, but he dies  out of heart attack. Both Chandran and Hari work hard and start earning. Meanwhile, Damodaran gets to know that Vasu contractor has taken over his elder son and gets hugely heartbroken. He gets to know that all his property has been taken away by them and he is left with nothing. Dakshayani is mentally disturbed and has become very violent, as a result she is admitted. In a surprise event, Sheela gets recovered. Damodaran is left with nothing, but Chandran calls back his dad. Meanwhile, their home is auctioned by the bank, which Ananda Kuruppu acquires. In the final scene, it's shown that Damodaran slaps Uthaman and disowns him. Ananda Kuruppu tells him that "Hari and Chandran have taught that there are mistakes done even by old people, hence it's time to move on". When questioned about the updates, he says Sakshi used to give an update. Finally, the movie ends with a beautiful snippet.

title: Henry Bolewski

text:
Henry 'Harry' Bolewski (; 1890−1976) was an Australian rugby league footballer and coach of the early 20th century. A Queensland state and Australia national representative goal-kicking back-line player, he played his club football in Brisbane and Sydney. Bolewski later coached in the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership for Sydney's Western Suburbs club. He was also the younger brother of prominent rugby league footballers, Alex Bolewski and Mick Bolewski.

Playing career
From a Polish family and born at Rous Mill near Ballina, Bolewski went to Sydney where he played for Glebe DRLFC, making his first grade debut in the 1912 NSWRFL season. He also played in the Queensland town of Bundaberg, and first gained selection for the Queensland rugby league team in 1913, during which he played in two matches against New South Wales. After moving to Brisbane, Bolewski was selected alongside both of his brothers to play for Queensland against the 1914 Great Britain Lions tourists. He was then the only Queenslander selected to play for Australia in the first Ashes Test against the touring Britons in Sydney, becoming Kangaroo No. 87. He played on the wing and kicked the home side's sole goal in their loss to the British. The following season he rejoined his brother Alex at Glebe, scoring his team's only try in their loss to Eastern Suburbs in the City Cup final. Both players later spent time with the Newtown club. The 1921 NSWRFL season, Bolewski's last, was spent with Glebe.

Coaching career
For the 1944 NSWRFL season Bolewski became coach the Western Suburbs club, replacing Alf Blair, who moved to South Sydney. Wests improved slightly on the previous season, finishing 5th (out of 8), but failing to make the finals, and Bolewski was replaced by club great, Frank McMillan.

Harry Bolewski died on 26 August 1976, aged 86, late of Cartwright, New South Wales.

The Brussels Historic District is a historic district which encompasses much of the village of Brussels, Illinois. The district includes the buildings on  of Main Street and  of Community Avenue, the village's two main streets. The Brussels area grew significantly in 1843 due to an influx of German immigrants, and development in the historic district began in 1847 with the construction of Wittmond's Trading Post. The village continued to develop into the 20th century while maintaining its identity as an agricultural community.

The district contains 80 contributing buildings. The 21 homes in the district are mainly one-story or one-and-a-half-story frame structures. Ten commercial buildings, some with attached houses, are part of the district. St. Mary's Church, an Italianate building from 1863, and its associated church office, parish hall, grade school, and cemetery are all within the district. Other buildings within the district include a library, a gymnasium, an American Legion hall, and several barns and outbuildings.

The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.

title: Jinpa-ri Tomb No. 4

text:
The Jinpa-ri Tomb No. 4 is noted for its depictions of all twenty-eight Chinese constellations as noted in Koguryo astronomical charts. The Tomb is listed as a National Treasure of North Korea.

The paintings in the Tomb do not show the names of the constellations, nor do they show the connecting lines between the stars (but research has identified these paintings as part of the twenty-eight Chinese constellations). The paintings of the constellations in this tomb do show modifications over their Chinese depictions: the direction of the arrangement of the twenty-eight constellations is counterclockwise and the reversal of the east and west constellations (seven constellations of the east have been placed in the west and the seven constellations of the west have been placed in the east). These differences are thought to be due to an error by the painters or because the reproductions of the astronomical directions were erroneous. The stars are painted various sizes, using the Korean tradition of indicating the brightness of the stars. There are 128 stars in total in the painting; some scholars have identified the Big Dipper and either one or several other constellations.

Chemical Analysis of the Lime Plaster in the Tomb
A chemical substance and constituent mineral analysis of the lime plaster in the tomb has dated it to the middle of the 6th Century. Testing showed a white lime plaster layer made of lime and sand and a brown lime plaster layer made from a "clayish soil" of weathered rock and lime. Both types showed lump-typed clayish soil of weathered rock, lime and shell.

title: 2015 Spanish local elections

text:
The 2015 Spanish local elections were held on Sunday, 24 May 2015, to elect all 67,515 councillors in the 8,122 municipalities of Spain and all 1,040 seats in 38 provincial deputations. The elections were held simultaneously with regional elections in thirteen autonomous communities, as well as elections in the three foral deputations of the Basque Country, the four island councils in the Balearic Islands and the seven island cabildos in the Canary Islands.

Electoral system

Background
After Podemos' success in the 2014 European Parliament election, the party decided not to directly contest the local elections scheduled for May 2015 to focus on the regional and general elections to be held throughout that year. Instead, they opted for the Guanyem Barcelona formula, popular unity municipal candidacies comprising different parties and social movements. The model was reproduced in many cities under the name Ganemos (Let's Win).

United Left (IU), the traditional left-wing third party of Spain, also started debating whether to join these local coalitions. However, this option was not well received by some party sectors, particularly their Madrid branch, who feared that the party would lose its identity if it joined these coalitions. The first attempt at a joint candidacy that included Podemos and United Left, among others, succeeded in Barcelona with Guanyem Barcelona, later Barcelona en Comú, under activist Ada Colau's leadership.

Another national party that decided to participate in most of these unitary candidacies was Equo, as well as minoritary parties like For a Fairer World (PUM+J), Building the Left–Socialist Alternative (CLI–AS), Republican Alternative (ALTER), Renewal–Nationalist Brotherhood (Anova), or Initiative for Catalonia Greens (ICV). The unitary lists also included individuals from social movements like the anti-eviction PAH, 15M, o the so-called mareas (Spanish for "tides") made up of workers from different service sectors like teachers, Public Health System workers or young people forced to migrate as a consequence of the 2008–15 Spanish financial crisis.

Municipal elections
Municipalities in Spain were local corporations with independent legal personality. They had a governing body, the municipal council or corporation, composed of the mayor, the government council and the elected plenary assembly. Elections to the local councils in Spain were fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years.

Voting for the local assemblies was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered and residing in the corresponding municipality and in full enjoyment of their political rights, as well as resident non-national European citizens and those whose country of origin allowed Spanish nationals to vote in their own elections by virtue of a treaty. Local councillors were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with an electoral threshold of five percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each local council. Parties not reaching the threshold were not taken into consideration for seat distribution. Councillors were allocated to municipal councils based on the following scale:

Councillors of municipalities with populations below 250 inhabitants were elected under an open list partial block voting, with electors voting for individual candidates instead of parties: for up to four candidates in municipalities with populations between 100 and 250 inhabitants; and for up to two candidates in municipalities below 100. This did not apply to municipalities which, as a result of their geographical location or the convenience of a better management of municipal interests or other circumstances, made it advisable to be organized through the open council system (), in which voters would directly elect the local major.

The mayor was indirectly elected by the plenary assembly. A legal clause required that mayoral candidates earn the vote of an absolute majority of councillors, or else the candidate of the most-voted party in the assembly was to be automatically appointed to the post. In the event of a tie, a toss-up would determine the appointee.

The electoral law allowed for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, coalitions and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form a coalition ahead of an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors needed to secure the signature of a determined amount of the electors registered in the municipality for which they sought election:

At least one percent of the electors in municipalities with a population below 5,000 inhabitants, provided that the number of signers was more than double that of councillors at stake.
At least 100 signatures in municipalities with a population between 5,001 and 10,000.
At least 500 signatures in municipalities with a population between 10,001 and 50,000.
At least 1,500 signatures in municipalities with a population between 50,001 and 150,000.
At least 3,000 signatures in municipalities with a population between 150,001 and 300,000.
At least 5,000 signatures in municipalities with a population between 300,001 and 1,000,000.
At least 8,000 signatures in municipalities with a population over 1,000,001.

Electors were disallowed from signing for more than one list of candidates.

Deputations and island councils
Provincial deputations were the governing bodies of provinces in Spain, having an administration role of municipal activities and composed of a provincial president, an administrative body, and a plenary. Basque provinces had foral deputations instead—called Juntas Generales—, whereas deputations for single-province autonomous communities were abolished and their functions transferred to the corresponding regional parliaments in 1982–1983. For insular provinces, such as the Balearic and Canary Islands, deputations were replaced by island councils in each of the islands or group of islands. For Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera this figure was referred to in Spanish as consejo insular (), whereas for Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, El Hierro, Lanzarote and La Palma its name was cabildo insular.

Most deputations were indirectly elected by local councillors from municipalities in each judicial district. Seats were allocated to provincial deputations based on the following scale:

Island councils and foral deputations were elected directly by electors under their own, specific electoral regulations.

title: Henry–Jordan House

text:
The Henry–Jordan House is a historic house located in Guntersville, Alabama.

Description and history
The house was built in 1875–77 by Pat Henry, a prominent local merchant. Henry's grandfather and father were also merchants, and built their business into the largest in the Marshall County. Henry attended the Cumberland Law School, returning home to join his father, and eventually took over the business upon his father's death in 1856. He retired in 1876, and constructed the Greek Revival house around the same time. The two-story house follows a central hall plan, and has a wide entry porch with a narrow balcony above. The house was later acquired by Billy Jordan, a local farmer. It sits across from the Albert G. Henry Jr. House, built by Pat's brother in 1895.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1979.

title: De bono mortis

text:
De bono mortis ("Death as a good") is a sermon by St. Ambrose (340–397), a Doctor of the Church. The text, which argues that death is not a bad thing to be feared, was written between 387 and 391. A companion piece or supplement to his De Iacob, it was composed "as two sermons, perhaps for the catechumens awaiting baptism at Easter". Profoundly informed by neoplatonism, it is one of the texts through which Augustine of Hippo, Ambrose's pupil in Milan, came under the influence of that philosophy.

Content and importance
Ambrose argues that death is a good thing feared only by the foolish. The death of the body (other deaths he identifies are those of sin and to sin) is an emancipation of the soul, now free from the body, which is to be desired by all.

The "three deaths" Ambrose distinguishes are "death to sin so as to live to God; death as the completion of this present life; and the death of the soul due to sin". The death of the body ("natural death", or "death as the completion of this present life") is, far from being bad or even neutral, a good thing. According to Pierre Hadot, Ambrose derives this doctrine to a great extent from Origen; his neo-platonism—the language of Plato and Plotinus he received through Porphyry.

De bono mortis, as does his De Isaac vel anima, contains passages derived from Plotinus's Enneads, and the two exerted an influence on Augustine of Hippo, who was living in Milan teaching rhetoric and studying neoplatonism, and may have listened to them as sermons. One of the medieval codices that contains De bono mortis is the eighth-century Ragyndrudis Codex, a collection traditionally thought to have been used by Saint Boniface to protect himself during his martyrdom in 754.

Editions and translations
Ambrose's writings are well preserved. An early edition was prepared by Desiderius Erasmus and printed in Basel by Johann Froben, in 1527. The subsequent so-called "Roman" edition was ordered by popes Pius IV and Pius V; it was started by Felice Peretti di Montalto, then a Franciscan friar and later pope Sixtus V. This edition was published in five volumes between 1580 and 1585, and is said to "supersede all others, until the publication of the excellent work of the Benedictines"—that is, the edition published in the Patrologia Latina, vols. 14–17, which is sometimes still used in modern times "for the sake of clarity". Recent editions of the text are by Felicita Portalupi (University of Turin, 1961) and William Theodore Wiesner (Catholic University of America, 1970). Both those editions are based on the 1896 Latin text by Karl Schenkl for the Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, as is the Catholic University's translation of seven of Ambrose's works, including De bono mortis.

The PLL-01, also known as the WAC-021, is a type of 155 mm howitzer designed by Gerald Bull and built by Chinese defense manufacturer Norinco.

History
In 1980s, Chinese military industry acquired the license to produce GHN-45 howitzer from Noricum, subsidiary of the Austrian company Voest-Alpine, whom developed CHN-45 based on the design of the GC-45 howitzer. GHN-45 (Gun, Howitzer, Noricum) featured several improvements to the original GC-45, such as better ammunition and fire control systems. Due to the design improvement, GHN-45 had considerably longer ranges than other 155 mm cannon systems used by NATO and Western countries. This capability initially caused worry for allied forces in the Persian Gulf War. The designer Gerald Bull was contacted by China to develop his work for them, which he agreed. China also purchased extended-range ammunition technology from him.

The Chinese production designation of the GHN-45 is WAC-021 and PLL-01, which entered service in 1987. China continue to acquire and develop other technologies for the PLL-01, such as precision guided projectiles GP1. China also mounted the PLL-01 onto an indigenous-designed tracked chassis, resulting in the PLZ-45 (also known as the Type 88) and an ammo-carrier based on the same chassis. The PLZ-45 did not enter service with the People's Liberation Army Ground Force because China still use the doctrine developed for the Soviet-standard 152 mm ammunition at the time. However, two major batches of PLZ-45s were sold to Kuwaiti in 1997 and to Saudi Arabia in 2008.

Design
The PLL-01/WAC-201 is license-produced variant of the Austrian NORICUM GHN-45 howitzer, thus two systems are compatible in the choice of ordnance. The NORINCO Type WA-021 has an auto-frettaged barrel 45 calibers long, fitted with a multi-baffle muzzle brake, which has an efficiency of 30 percent. A screw-type breech mechanism opening to the right is employed and the chamber volume is 22.95 liters. The rifling employs 48 grooves with a twist of 1 in 20 calibers, and the grooves are understood to be three times deeper than the rifling depths found on comparable Western 155 mm designs. The weapon also accepts locally made Chinese ammunitions and NATO-compatible ammunitions.

Deployment
The weapon system is used by People's Liberation Army Ground Force and by the Iranian army as towed artillery. The PLZ-45 self-propelled howitzer was sold to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Algeria. It is also used by Iraq.
