title: Vrbanja (river)

text:
The Vrbanja () is a river in Central Bosnia, Bosnia and Herzegovina; with Ugar, the largest right tributary of the Vrbas. Its basin covers an area of approximately 703.5 km2. It has significant hydropower potential. There are many different estimations of the Vrbanja's length, from 70.5 km and 84 km to 95.4 km.

Name
Like many other sites in Bosnia, Vrbanja is named after the willows that grow along the river from Kruševo Brdo to Banja Luka. Other examples are Vrbanjci village and Vrbanja, near Banja Luka, as well as Vrbas and a bridge in the center of Sarajevo.

Geography
The Vrbanja source is on the slopes of Vlašić Mountain, upstream of Pilipovina village  (at about 1,530 meters above sea level). The area around the source is called "Prelivode", with a radius of around 2-3 kilometers. Prelivode is on a ridge between the Vlašić (1933 m) and Meokrnje (1425 m) mountains.

The Vrbanja flows through Kruševo Brdo, Šiprage, Obodnik, Vrbanjci, Kotor Varoš, Zabrđe, Čelinac and the settlement of Vrbanja. It joins the Vrbas river in Banja Luka.

During the Austro-Hungarian administration of 1878–1914, a wide network of railway communications was built along the Vrbanja, with the support of the Bosnian Government. Exploitation of the natural resources (especially wood and mining) was the primary intended purpose of this investment. The railroad was built along the valley of the Vrbanja from Kotor Varoš to Šiprage, where it branched along a few tributaries of the river. It leads to the area of the Riječice, across the pass between Jasen and Šepirice.

Tributaries
The river is fed by numerous tributaries from Vlašić, Čemernica, Borja and Uzlomac mountains. The most significant right-side tributaries are the Bobovica, Lopača, Trnovac,  Crkvenica, Kruševica, Jezerka, Bosanka, and Jošavka, and the most significant left-side tributaries, the Čudnić, Ćorkovac, Demićka, Sadika, Grabovička rijeka, Duboka river, Vigošća/Vigošta, Cvrcka and Jakotina.

Vrbanja valley in war in Bosnia
During the War in Bosnia  (1992 – 1995), Serbian Police and Army forces destroyed many of the surrounding Bosniak  and Croat villages along the Vrbanja valley, from Kruševo Brdo downstream to Banja Luka.  The local civilian population was killed or displaced and their homes and properties were destroyed.

The Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods (the "Limitation Convention") is a uniform law treaty prepared by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). It deals with the prescription of actions relating to contracts for the international sale of goods due to the passage of time.

The Limitation Convention was originally prepared as a chapter of a broader treaty on contracts for international sale of goods. Adopted in 1974, it was amended in 1980 to be fully aligned, especially with respect to scope of application, to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), adopted in the same year.

Adoption
As of 2 January 2016, the following 30 states have ratified, acceded to, succeeded to, or participate under the Limitation Convention:

The Limitation Convention has been signed, but not yet ratified, acceded to, succeeded to, or participated under, by Brazil, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Mongolia, Nicaragua, and the Russian Federation.

Substantive provisions
What follows is a very summary description of the content of the Limitation Convention, provided for preliminary information only. Readers are encouraged to refer to the explanatory note to that convention prepared by the UNCITRAL secretariat for further introductory information on the Limitation Convention.

In its original unamended version, the Limitation Convention applies when both parties have their place of business in contracting States (Article 3(1)). In the amended version, the Limitation Convention applies also when rules of private international law make the law of a Contracting State applicable to the contract of sale (Article 3(1)(b)). Hence, the Limitation Convention, as amended, applies in the same case as the CISG. The reference is to the rules of private international law applicable to the contract itself, and not to limitation matters.

Likewise, other matters relating to scope of application of the Convention, especially in its amended form, are treated similarly as in the CISG. However, article 5 of the Limitation Convention contains an additional list of excluded matters that is not present in the CISG.
The limitation period is four years, starting from the date when the claim accrues (Articles 8 and 9). The limitation period stops to run when judicial or arbitral proceedings are commenced (Articles 13 and 14).

If the debtor recognizes in writing its debt before the end of the limitation period, a new limitation period runs (Article 20). The limitation period is also extended in case of force majeure (Article 21). In any case, the limitation period expires in ten years from the date on which it commenced (Article 23).

The effect of the expiration of the limitation period is that no related claim may be recognized or enforced; however, that claim may be used as a counter-claim to set off, under certain conditions (Article 25).

The expiration of the limitation period may be taken into account only if invoked by the parties to the proceedings (Article 24); however, a State may lodge a reservation to Article 24 and therefore allow for the judge to declare the expiration of the limitation period ex officio (Article 36).

Practical relevance
The Limitation Convention has often been considered as a lesser, and less lucky sister of the CISG. However, it is applied regularly in certain regions of the world, especially Eastern Europe. The Case Law on UNCITRAL Texts database has an increasing collection of decisions relating to the Limitation Convention.

While the USA has been a party to the Limitation Convention for more than two decades, only one recent judicial precedent deals with the Convention. This is unusual given that, for instance, the Limitation Convention applies to all contracts for sale of goods concluded between parties with place of business in the USA and in Mexico, unless opted out of, and may indicate limited awareness of its existence.

title: Mitrophyllum

text:
Mitrophyllum is a genus of succulent plants of the family Aizoaceae, indigenous to the arid region around the Richtersveld, on the border of South Africa and Namibia.

Description

The species generally grow stems, at the top of which two succulent leaves appear. Similar to the closely related genera of Monilaria and Meyerophytum, these leaf-pairs alternate consecutively between two different types of leaf-growth (heterophylly) and during the exceptionally hot summer they remain inactive in a dry sheath. When fused together into a cone-shaped corpuscle, this leaf pair is referred to as the plant's "mitre", and this is the origin of the genus name.
The two separate leaves of the free leaf-pair are rounded-triangular to tongue-shaped. The fused leaf-pair forms a cone-shaped to cylindrical corpuscle, which bears two smaller ear-like anthers at the top. This fused corpuscle dries out in the plant's dormancy period, eventually becoming a papery sheath in which the new (separate) leaf-pair forms.

Cultivation
In cultivation, the plants are not difficult to grow. However they require deep well-drained sandy soil and sufficient sun exposure. They are also adapted to very dry summers and watering mainly over the winter. Their period of growth is primarily over late autumn and winter.

They are slow growing, maturing over many decades, and are difficult to propagate by cuttings; consequently seed is the preferred means of propagation.

Species
 Mitrophyllum abbreviatum, a slender, low and densely-branched shrub, up to 40 cm tall. Free leaves 10–30 × 5–8 mm. Fused leaf-pair forming oval-rounded corpuscle that is wider than stem. Occurs in quartz rock crevices in the Augrabies area.
 Mitrophyllum clivorum, a slender-stemmed shrub, up to 60 cm tall. Free leaves 10–50 × 8–20 mm. Fused leaf-pair forming corpuscle that is roughly as wide as the stem (1–4 cm long and c.1 cm wide).  Yellow-white flowers appear in May–June. Grows in sheltered places near the Namibian-South African border.
 Mitrophyllum dissitum, a slender, multi-branched shrub, 40–60 cm tall. Free leaves 10–50 × 8–15 mm. Fused leaf pair forms connate corpuscle 10–40 mm long and 5–15 mm wide. Yellow-white and pinkish flowers. The fruit stalk of this species is uniquely dark brown and corky at its base. Occurs on steep, rocky, south-facing slopes.
 Mitrophyllum grande, a low, compact, un-branched perennial, up to 20 cm tall, with short-shoots only from which erect long-shoots develop. The internodes between the leaf-pairs are over a centimeter in diameter. Free leaf-pairs are 6–12 cm x 2–3 cm, and the very large, oval "mitres" (paired leaves) are 2–10 cm x 1.5-3.5 cm. Yellow-white (occasionally pinkish) flowers appear in May to July. The fruits are partially covered in membranes, and born on straight, erect stalks. This species occurs on south-facing slopes among quartz stones near the Namibian border.
 Mitrophyllum mitratum, a slowly-branching, compact, caudiciform shrub, up to 60 cm in height. Free leaves are 4–10 cm x c.2 cm. Fused leaf-pair forms large cylindrical cone, 3.5–10 cm x 1.5-3.5 cm. Yellow-white (occasionally pinkish) flowers break out of the fused leaf-cone from February to March. The fruita only sometimes have a very narrow membrane covering them, and are born on straight, erect stalks. It occurs on south-facing slopes, among quartz rocks in the northern Namaqualand near the Namibian border.
 Mitrophyllum roseum, a low succulent shrub up to 15 cm tall and often drooping. Distinguished by its magenta flowers, and its exposed fruits that are born on bent stalks. It grows on foggy, west-facing slopes near Komaggas.

title: District courts of Sweden

text:
The district courts of Sweden () are the court of first instance for the general courts in Sweden. The next instance are the courts of appeal (). The district court handle criminal cases, some civil law disputes and a number of non-contentious matters. There are 48 district courts across Sweden, and the catchment area is based on the geographic boundaries of several municipalities. The number of employees vary, from ten to several hundreds.

Types of cases

The general courts in Sweden deal with criminal and civil cases. Criminal cases are the cases in which someone stands trial under the suspicion of having committed an act defined in the Swedish Penal Code or in another law, for which a sanction is prescribed, like theft or tax offences. Civil cases are cases where two parties are in disagreement, for example, over the contents of a business agreement or cases relating to family law. The district court also handles a number of other non-contentious matters; such as adoption and appointment of legal guardians. Proceedings are generally open to the public, but access can be restricted for example in cases about sexual offences.

Organization
Sweden is divided into 48 judicial districts (), as prescribed by the government (SFS 1982:996). The district courts are general lower courts and usually courts of first instance. In the district courts, a judge other than the president of a court or a division of a court is simply titled Judge (). A judge who presides over a division is titled Senior Judge (), and the head official of the district court is titled Chief Judge (). Each district court has a Chief Judge, and usually one or more permanent salaried judges (). In order to be accepted for training as a judge one must be a Swedish citizen, hold a degree of bachelor of law at minimum and earned qualifications as a court clerk.

There are also more than 5,000 lay judges () linked to the district courts. Lay judges are laymen, not legally qualified representatives of the people, appointed by the municipal assembly, serving four years at a time. The district court make use of lay judges in criminal cases only.

Quorum of the court
The main rule in civil cases is that the district court should consist of three legally qualified judges, but there are several exceptions to this rule. In simple cases, and if the parties agree to it, the court can consist of one legally qualified judge. Another exception is  if the value of the claim is obviously low (not exceeding approximately SEK 22,000 in 2012), then the quorum is also one legally qualified judge. If a judge is excused after the commencement of the main hearing, the remaining two judges constitute a quorum.

At main hearings in criminal cases the district courts are prescribed to consist of one legally qualified judge and three lay judges. In criminal cases where the penalty is imprisonment, the presence of lay judges is required. However, if a lay judge is unable to attend after a main hearing has commenced, the bench constitutes a quorum with one legally qualified judge and two lay judges. In simpler criminal cases, where the penalty is a fine or where the legislation calls for imprisonment not exceeding six months, a legally qualified judge, without lay judges, constitutes the quorum.

Appeal
The person who has been convicted, the prosecutor and the victim of the crime can appeal against a district court in the appellate court. This must be made within three weeks of the date of the judgement. In some circumstances a leave to appeal is required, meaning a legally trained person at the court of appeal will examine the case and present a report to three qualified judges, before the case can proceed. If there is reason to believe that the next instance would arrive at a conclusion different from that of the district court, a leave to appeal will be granted. A judgement in a civil case can also similarly be appealed.

title: Courts of appeal in Sweden

text:
The courts of appeal in Sweden () are the second instance on issues relating to criminal cases, contentious cases and other judicial issues that have already been dealt with by a district court. The next and final instance is the Supreme Court (). The appellate court may in some circumstances require a leave to appeal, meaning they will only proceed with a case if there is reason to believe they might arrive at a conclusion different from that of the district court or if it is deemed important to establish a precedent.

Organization

The courts of appeal have jurisdiction in appeals from the district courts. The territorial jurisdiction (), dividing Sweden into nine court districts, is based on the geographic boundaries of several district courts, as prescribed by the government. The courts of appeal are:

The largest is Svea Court of Appeal, covering fifteen judicial districts. In the courts of appeal, a judge other than the president of a court or a division of a court is titled Judge of Appeal (). A judge who presides over a division is titled Senior Judge of Appeal (), and the head official of the appellate court is titled President, Court of Appeal ().

Approximately 650 people work for the courts of appeal in Sweden. Each court of appeal is divided into a number of departments, headed by a Senior Judge of Appeal or the President. There are also more than 600 lay judges () linked to the courts of appeal. Lay judges are laymen, not legally qualified representatives of the people, appointed by the county councils, serving four years at a time. The appellate court make use of lay judges in criminal cases only.

History
The courts of appeal in Sweden were the highest judicial body until King Gustav III founded the Supreme Court of Sweden in 1789. Today, these courts function mostly as appellate courts. They are the second highest general courts in both Sweden and Finland, and both countries have six of them.

The first hovrätt, Svea Court of Appeal, was founded 1614 in Stockholm. In Finland, then part of Sweden, the court in Turku was founded in 1623 by Gustavus Adolphus, mainly because it was difficult to travel from Finland to Stockholm.

During the imperial era, additional courts of appeal were introduced in order to relieve the original Svea hovrätt. Göta Court of Appeal was the second such court in Sweden proper, established in Jönköping in 1634. It was preceded by the court in Turku (1623) and the court in Tartu (1630), cities which during this era were part of the dominions of Sweden.

Quorum of the court
The main rule in civil cases is that the appellate court should consist of three legally qualified judges, but there are some exceptions to this rule. At least four legally qualified judges are required to sit for the adjudication of the case, if the district court consisted of three legally qualified judges. If one of the legally qualified judges is prevented from adjudicating after the commencement of the main hearing, the bench nevertheless constitutes a quorum.

In criminal cases, three legally qualified judges and two lay judges constitute a quorum. If there is no reason to impose a sanction more severe than fines in a criminal case, three legally qualified judges constitute a quorum. If one of the legally qualified judges or one of the lay judges are prevented from adjudicating after the commencement of the main hearing, the bench nevertheless constitutes a quorum.

Special courts
Svea Court of Appeal is, in addition to its regular responsibilities as the appellate court for the districts, also responsible for appeals  for some of the special courts, like the rent tribunals. The Land and Environment Court of Appeal () and the Patent and Market Court of Appeal () are also part of the Svea Court of Appeal.

Appeal
A leave to appeal is required for a case to be considered by the highest instance in civil and criminal cases, the Supreme Court. This is granted by the Supreme Court itself, and only done when it is deemed important to establish a precedent for the lower courts.

title: Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus

text:
Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus is an 1829 oil painting by Joseph Mallord William Turner. It depicts a scene from Homer's Odyssey, showing Odysseus (Ulysses) standing on his ship deriding Polyphemus, one of the cyclopes he encounters and has recently blinded, who is disguised behind one of the mountains on the left side. Additional details include the Trojan Horse, a scene from Virgil's Aeneid, on one of the flags and the horses of Apollo rising above the horizon. This painting is thought to be quickly done as a replacement for previous paintings submitted to the Academy that had been delayed. The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1829. Acquired by the National Gallery in 1856, the painting is on display in room 34.

title: Dadabhoy Havewala

text:
Dadabhoy Rustomji "Dady" Havewala (sometimes spelt Havewalla) (27 November 1908 – 21 July 1982) was an Indian cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1934 to 1941.

Havewala became famous in India before he played first-class cricket. In the final of the Times of India Shield in Bombay in December 1933, he scored 515 (with 32 sixes and 56 fours) as well as taking 11 wickets. It was the highest score in Indian cricket until 2013, when Prithvi Shaw made 546. When Havewala was around 120, a ball bowled by the opposing captain G. N. Lalljee hit the stumps and deflected without dislodging the bails. After reaching 200 he wanted to retire but was asked by his captain to slog and get out. Havewala started to hit out and some of his sixes landed among railway wagons in the Marine Drive yards. He reached his 300 after around a further twenty minutes, and ended the day at 453 not out. A large crowd attended the match on the next day, when Havewala was caught at deep mid off from a mishit.

Havewala made his first first-class century in 1935-36, playing for Bombay against Western India. Earlier in the season he had scored 71 against the touring Australian side, prompting Charlie Macartney to write, "I have seldom seen finer hitting than that by Havewalla."

He made another century in 1937-38 for Maharaja of Patiala's XI against the strong touring English team Lord Tennyson's XI and was selected to play for India in the last two matches India played against Lord Tennyson's XI. He made 44 in the first match, India's second-top score in an innings victory. In later seasons Havewala's batting form declined and he played as a pace bowler.

title: Age of Ambition

text:
Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China is a non-fiction book by Evan Osnos, a staff writer at The New Yorker. Age of Ambition chronicles the lives of people that Osnos came to know while he was in China from 2005 to 2013.

Age of Ambition was originally published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2014. The book was awarded the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2014 and was a finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.

Summary
Based partly on Osnos' reports in The New Yorker, the book describes his travels in China, where he interviewed people swept up by economic, political, and social change. Osnos chronicles their journeys and reflects on the political implications. The title refers to an emerging sense of individual aspiration, "a belief in the sheer possibility to remake a life," Osnos writes. "Some who tried succeeded; many others did not." Some of the featured subjects are prominent, including artist Ai Weiwei and economist Justin Yifu Lin; others are not prominent citizens, including a teacher, a street sweeper, and an auctioneer imprisoned for bribing judges.

Reception
In The New York Times Book Review, Jonathan Mirsky described it as "eloquent and comprehensive." In the San Francisco Chronicle, Minxin Pei called it "by far the most thoughtful and well-crafted work on China written by an American journalist in recent years.” The Economist, in an unsigned review, questioned the emphasis on Ai Weiwei and dissident lawyer Chen Guangcheng "whose well-documented lives and causes take up a little too much of the narrative."

title: Athenian Motorsports

text:
Athenian Motorsports was an American professional stock car racing team that last competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the Camping World Truck Series, and the ARCA Racing Series. In the Xfinity Series, the team last fielded the No. 05 Zaxby's Chevrolet Camaro part-time for John Wes Townley. In the Camping World Truck Series, the team last fielded the No. 05 Zaxby's Chevrolet Silverado full-time for part-time drivers: John Wes Townley, Parker Kligerman, Brady Boswell, Cody Coughlin, and Matt DiBenedetto. In the ARCA Racing Series, the team last fielded the No. 05 Zaxby's Chevrolet Impala part-time for Townley. The team was sponsored by Zaxby's Chicken Restaurants, co-founded by John Wes' father and team owner Tony Townley, and the team name is likely a reference to the company's home in Athens, Georgia. The team closed down in 2017, and sold its owner points to MDM Motorsports' No. 99 team.

History
The team debuted in May 2014 in the Nationwide Series (now Xfinity Series) running a partial schedule. In July 2014, the team expanded their operation into the Camping World Truck Series. In September, it was announced that veteran crew chief Mike Ford would join the team as the crew chief for the No. 25 Nationwide Series team, while Mike Beam would stay on as the crew chief of the No. 05 truck. The team also purchased the race shop of Richard Petty Motorsports owned by Boris Said near the Concord Regional Airport.

In November 2014 the team announced it would switch to Chevrolet and run full-time in both the Xfinity Series and Truck Series, with engines supplied by Hendrick Motorsports, and equipment purchased from Kyle Busch Motorsports and the defunct Turner Scott Motorsports (a former Hendrick-affiliated team). Townley would pilot the Truck Series entry full-time and run the majority of the Xfinity Series races.

Xfinity Series

Car No. 25 history

The team debuted in the Nationwide Series with John Wes Townley at Talladega in May 2014, finishing 13th. They ran car No. 25, which Townley had run the previous year with Venturini Motorsports part-time. The team announced on May 7 that it would compete in 12 additional Nationwide races in 2014, while Townley would continue to run the full season in Trucks with Wauters Motorsports and the ARCA Racing Series with Venturini. Beginning at the Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland in July and continuing at Indianapolis in July and Bristol in August, Athenian Motorsports announced a three-race sponsorship with the movie The Identical, running on the hood of the Zaxby's Toyota Camry.

In an August 2014 conversation with Motorsport.com, John Wes Townley said that Athenian Motorsports was preparing to run the full 2015 season in the Xfinity Series. The team expanded full-time for 2015, with Townley running 24 Xfinity races. The remaining races were to be filled by a driver with sponsorship. In February, it was announced that K&N Pro Series West driver and NASCAR Next member Dylan Lupton was hired to run a minimum of seven races in the No. 25 starting at Phoenix International Raceway, with continued sponsorship from Zaxby's. Lupton qualified 23rd and finished 19th in his debut at Phoenix. Alex Bowman drove two races at Michigan and Indianapolis due to drivers busy competing in their Series. The team withdrew from the October race at Dover, operating on a race-by-race basis for the remainder of the season.

The team returned in 2016 only running in the restrictor plate races. With Rick Ware Racing receiving the No. 25, the team changed to the No. 05, used in its other operations.

Camping World Truck Series

Truck No. 05 history

Initially, Athenian Motorsports was to have begun their Camping World Truck Series efforts in 2015 with John Wes Townley. After eight 2014 starts and two top five finishes in the Truck Series however, in July Townley left Wauters Motorsports' No. 5 Tundra, moving to the No. 05 Tundra owned by his father starting at Iowa. After Townley suffered a concussion at Pocono during an ARCA race, Clint Bowyer drove the No. 05 Zaxby's truck for Athenian in the Truck Series race that weekend. Bowyer, who had previously been sponsored by Zaxby's in 2010, finished fourth in the race. 2003 Truck Champion Travis Kvapil replaced Townley at Michigan. Kvapil qualified well and ran up front early, but blew the engine on lap 8. Townley returned at Bristol in August, running an all black 05 Zaxby's Tundra. Townley had a top 15 truck, but wrecked racing young NTS drivers Gray Gaulding and Brennan Newberry.

Townley returned to the No. 05 truck for 2015, with the team switching to Chevrolet. Former Truck Series winner Terry Cook would serve as the team's spotter. Townley would score his first career victory on October 3 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, taking the lead with six laps to go and winning on a fuel mileage gamble. Townley finished eighth in the championship standings.

Townley returned full-time for 2016, though Parker Kligerman drove at Kentucky Speedway due to Townley undergoing treatment for a possible concussion. Next week, 19 year-old Brady Boswell took over the No. 05 ride with Townley still injured at Eldora.

ARCA Racing Series

Car No. 05 history
In 2016, the team ran the No. 05 Zaxby's Chevrolet full-time in the ARCA Racing Series, with John Wes Townley running the majority of the season. The team won its ARCA debut at Daytona with JWT.

title: Seth Weeks

text:
Silas Seth Weeks (September 8, 1868 – December 1953) was an American composer who played mandolin, violin, banjo and guitar. Although he played many instruments he concentrated professionally on the mandolin. He is considered to be the first African American to play mandolin during its golden period and was considered instrumental in bringing the mandolin to the prominent national standing that it had in the early 1900s. He was the first American known to write a mandolin concerto (in 1900) and led a mandolin and guitar orchestra in Tacoma, Washington.

Biography
Weeks was born in Vermont, Illinois. One of his musical goals was to make the mandolin independent of other instruments, and his playing emphasized the duo style, a way of playing in which the mandolin takes the melody, counter melody and harmonic parts all at once. Properly done, duo style produces what sounds like "two or more instruments" instead of only one. A review of his music by Lyon and Healy of Chicago indicated success, saying that he had included harmony with the melody in most of his arrangements.

He toured America in "circuits" performing and teaching, including in public schools in Chicago, Boston, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco. He also performed in New York City, Philadelphia, Providence, Rhode Island, and internationally in Montreal, Canada.

He composed and arranged as well, performing his own works on tour. He became prominent enough that he was able to tour Europe (England, France and Russia) and live there periodically. He settled temporarily in Europe, living first in London until World War I, when he returned with his family to New York and played in jazz bands. When he returned to Europe in 1920, he went to France, playing at the Apollo in Paris. His place of death is unknown, but was reported in the January 9, 1954, edition of the New York Amsterdam News, on page 9.

He was an admirer of the performances of America's other mandolinists of his day, Samuel Siegel, W. Eugene Page, Valentine Abt, J. W. Marler, W. L. Barney (a Chicago musician in the 1890s through the 1920s), and Fred Lewis.

title: Sin Salida (2013)

text:
Sin Salida (Spanish for "No Exit" / "No Escape") was a professional wrestling major event produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) that took place on June 2, 2013, in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The main event featured a 10-man Steel cage match contested under Lucha de Apuestas, or "Bet match" rules where the loser would be forced to either unmask or, if he was already unmasked, have all his hair shaved off. This particular match included 10 Mini-Estrellass with 4 of them risking their  mask (Aereo, Eléctrico, Fantasy and Pequeño Nitro) and six risking their hair (Bam Bam, Demus 3:16, Mercurio, Pequeño Black Warrior, Pequeño Violencia and Shockercito). The final moments of the match saw Shockercito pin Pequeño Violencia to win the match. The other featured match of the show saw Negro Casas defend the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship against Máscara Dorada. The show also included three additional matches.

Production

Background
The Mexican wrestling company Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"; CMLL) has held a number of major shows over the years using the moniker Sin Salida ("No Exit" or "No Escape"). CMLL has intermittently held a show billed specifically as Sin Salida since 2009, primarily using the name for their "end of the year" show in December, although once they held a Sin Piedad show in August as well. All Sin Salida shows have been held in Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico which is CMLL's main venue, its "home". Traditionally CMLL holds their major events on Friday Nights, which means the Sin Salida shows replace their regularly scheduled Super Viernes show. The 2013 Sin Salida show was the third show to use the name.

Storylines
The event featured five professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

The main event 10-man match started out as an issue between Mini-Estrellas Shockercito and Pequeño Violencia in the spring of 2013, which saw Pequeño Violencia, often with the aid of other rudos such as Pierrothito or Demus 3:16 as they used underhanded tactics to target Shockercito whenever the two were on opposite sides during CMLL events. The storyline between the two seemed to be the focal point of the Mini-Estrella division until mid-May when it drew in a number of other rivalries, including re-igniting a long running rivalry between tecnico Bam Bam and Demus 3:16 as well the resurgence of the tension between Fantasy and Mercurio, a rivalry that had led to Mercurio being unmasked the previous year. On May 26 10 Mini-Estrellas faced off in a Torneo cibernetico elimination match featuring several of the Mini-Estrellas rivalries, but did not include neither the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Champion Pequeño Olímpico nor the Mexican National Lightweight Champion Pierrothito. During the match Shockercito and Pequeño Violencia ended up eliminating each other when they ended up in a position where they pinned each other at the same time. The match saw Demus 3:16 use the ropes to his advantage to pin long time rival Bam Bam. After the match the six rudos in the match attacked Bam Bam, only for the remaining five tecnicoparticipants to run back to the ring for the save. Following the torneo cibernetico match several of the competitors challenges their rivals to put their hair or mask on the line in a Lucha de Apuestas or bet match. CMLL announced the match the following day as they announced the 2013 Sin Salida event including four matches on the undercard in addition to the main event Steel cage elimination match that would include Aéreo, Bam Bam, Demus 3:16, Eléctrico, Fantasy, Mercurio, Pequeño Black Warrior, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Violencia and Shockercito. On May 28 five of the participants (and Pequeño Olímpico) faced off during an Arena Mexico show, with Bam Bam, Fantasy and Shockercito won the match by disqualification following Nitro pulling Fantasy's mask off during the match, followed by Mercurio fouling Shockercito during the match to really highlight the tension between the various competitors.

Negro Casas won the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship on February 13, 2013, from La Sombra and had proceeded to defend the championship several times in the subsequent year, including a successful title defense against Máscara Dorada on April 7, 2013. In late April Dorada had another match against Casas as Dorada teamed up with Atlantis and Titán against Casas, Volador Jr. and Último Guerrero as Casas and his team cheated their way to victory. After the match Máscara Dorada made a challenge for another championship match. Casas declined the request, stating that he would not even begin to consider a championship match until Máscara Dorada proved himself worthy by beating Casas in three matches in a row. In subsequent weeks Máscara Dorada managed to defeat Negro Casas and various partners in three consecutive Six-man tag team matches, each time with Casas losing at least one of the falls. Following Casas, Averno and El Felino's loss to Máscara Dorada and his Estetas del Aire teammates Valiente and Místico Negro Casas finally agreed to defend the championship on the June 2 Sin Salida show.

The third match on the five match show combined a long running storyline between Atlantis and Último Guerrero with a more recently developed storyline between the Mexican Rush and the Japanese, New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) wrestler Shinsuke Nakamura. The six man tag team match that would see Guerrero team up with fellow Los Guerreros del Infierno teammate Euforia and the IWGP Intercontinental Champion against Atlantis, Rush and Diamante Azul was another chapter in the build to a Luchas de Apuestas, mask vs. mask match between Atlantis and Guerrero that had already been made official months prior, allowing for the tension between the two to grow as they escalated the storyline. In early 2013 Rush, along with a number of other CMLL wrestlers, had traveled to Japan to compete in the 2013 Fantastica Mania series of shows. During the shows Rush commented that he wanted to face the best that NJPW had to offer, including Nakamura, although at the time nothing else came of it. In May Nakamura traveled to Mexico to tour with CMLL for about a month, during which both Rush and Nakamura had less than complimentary words for each other. The Sin Salida match would be the first time the two would be in the same ring together, taking their war of words into the wrestling ring.

The second match on the show was not put together based on any ongoing CMLL storylines between the two parties, instead CMLL decided to team up the tecnico team of Diamante, El Hijo del Fantasma and Tritón and match them against the rudo team of  La Fievre Amarilla (Namajague and Okumura) teaming up  Virus for a traditional six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match. The 2013 Sin Salida show included a match between long time rivals, the experienced tecnico Metálico and El Hijo del Signo who portrays a brash, arrogant character out to prove that he is better than Metálico. The storyline began in early 2013 as they began to face off in matches on a regular basis. As the match series developed El Hijo del Signo began cheat more than once to defeat the veteran Metálico. The storyline between the two was featured a number of shows throughout March, April and including a one-on-one match on CMLL's Super Viernes show, their main weekly show and an indicator that CMLL is escalating the storyline between the two. The two were on opposite sides of a match on the Arena Coliseo 70th Anniversary Show where El Hijo del Signo got disqualified for pulling Metálico's mask off during the match, a move that is prohibited under lucha libre rules. A few weeks a later they were once again on opposite sides for the Arena Mexico 57th Anniversary Show, with El Hijo del Signo and Los Guerreros Tuareg (Arkangel de la Muerte and Skándalo) defeating Metálico, Sensei and Soberano Jr.

title: Hyperloop Transportation Technologies

text:
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, also known as HyperloopTT, is an American research company formed using a crowd collaboration approach (a mix of team collaboration and crowdsourcing) to develop around the world commercial transportation systems based on the Hyperloop concept.

The concept of the Hyperloop was popularized in 2013 by Elon Musk, not affiliated with HyperloopTT. The project was to develop a high speed, intercity transporter using a low pressure tube train which would reach a top speed of  with a yearly capacity of 15 million passengers.

HyperloopTT also plans to build slower, urban Hyperloops for inter-suburb travel.

History

JumpStarter, Inc
The company was founded by JumpStarter, Inc., utilizing the company's crowdfunding and collaboration platform JumpStartFund.

In 2013, HyperloopTT announced partnered with Ansys, GloCal Network and UCLA's Architecture & Urban Design program to aide in the early-stage development of feasibility testing, supply chain management and station experience.

Early routes

The company was not focused on the Los Angeles-to-San Francisco route that was the baseline of the Hyperloop Alpha design from 2013, and considered other routes.

In 2015, HyperloopTT signed and agreement with GROW Holdings, the developer of Quay Valley, California, to construct a  demonstration track beginning in 2016.

Also in August 2015, HyperloopTT announced partnerships with international engineering design and construction giant Aecom and Oerlikon, the world's oldest vacuum technology specialist. AECOM began providing services to HyperloopTT for the design of the full-scale Quay Valley prototype track.

Construction on this demonstration track in Quay Valley never started as GROW Holdings lacked the funds to continue the new community development and stopped all development in the valley.

Employee growth

The company's singular collaboration model meant that rather than employees, HyperloopTT has established a network of contributors all working a minimum of 10 hours per week in exchange for future equity.

Initial development was done by approximately 100 engineers compensated solely in stock options. This initial team was primarily based within the United States. The company has assembled a team of community members, attracting high level engineers and contributing corporations.

HyperloopTT saw a large growth in contributor numbers in 2015, in February the company had grown to nearly 200 contributors
and by November had more than doubled to just under 500 people.

HyperloopTT continued growing and began hiring full-time executives, to help manage the contribution of the crowd.

Today, HyperloopTT boasts more than 800 contributors in 40 countries with 50 full-time employees and more than 50 corporate partners.

Early agreements

In 2016 then HyperloopTT CEO, Dirk Ahlborn, announced an agreement with the Slovak government to perform feasibility studies regarding routes connecting Vienna, Austria to Bratislava, Slovakia, and Bratislava to Budapest, Hungary. Total costs for this project are estimated to be . The resulting annual system capacity is projected to be 10 million passengers. The company announced in March 2016 that they would be using passive Inductrack systems for their titular Hyperloop. However, in August 2018 the agreement expired after the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and HyperloopTT didn't reach an agreement to continue the project.

In September 2017, HyperloopTT signed an agreement with the Andhra Pradesh State Government in India to build a Hyperloop between the cities of Amaravati and Vijaywada. The two-phase project would begin with a 6-month feasibility study which would be followed by actual construction.

In July 2018, HyperloopTT announced an agreement to create a joint venture with the government of China's southwestern province of Guizhou to construct a 10 km long Hyperloop track in the city of Tongren.

Funding
In 2016, HyperloopTT had raised $31.8 million in cash and received $77 million in man-hours, services rendered, land rights usage and future in-kind investments.

HyperloopTT's collaboration model has enabled significant advancement with significantly less financial resources as compared to competitors. A 2020 Forbes article stated that HyperloopTT had received a total of $50 million in-cash investments since founding, a small figure compared to Virgin Hyperloop's $350 million. Despite the disparity in investments, HyperloopTT's Great Lakes project is the closest commercial Hyperloop project to operation.

Current prototypes
HyperloopTT is currently operating or designing four prototypes.

Toulouse

Since 2017 HyperloopTT has an agreement with the city council of Toulouse and established a research and development center to test hyperloop-related technologies at the Francazal Airport, in the heart of the renowned "Aerospace Valley".

Construction began on the 320-meter long test system in April 2018. The completed test-track is 4 meters in diameter making it the world's only full-scale hyperloop test track.

Abu Dhabi
In November 2016, HyperloopTT signed an agreement with the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipal Affairs and Transportation to conduct a feasibility study for a hyperloop system connecting the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. In 2017, HyperloopTT and the Office of His Highness Sheikh Falah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan signed a strategic partnership agreement accelerating the development of the system to create an innovative infrastructure in line with the Abu Dhabi 2030 vision.

In 2018, HyperloopTT and Aldar Properties signed an agreement to develop the first 10-kilometer section of a system between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The system is expected to be operational by 2023.

Great Lakes
In February 2018, HyperloopTT announced a public-private partnership with the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) metropolitan planning organization and the Illinois Department of Transportation for the development of the United States’ first interstate hyperloop system in the Great Lakes megaregion. The project which initially only focused on connecting Cleveland to Chicago expanded in 2019 to include Pittsburgh as HyperloopTT looks to create the first part of a national network that would connect the midwest to the east coast through Pittsburgh.

The Great Lakes project resulted in the world's most comprehensive hyperloop feasibility study demonstrating that the system would, “not only be a boon to communities along the travel corridors but also would be a strong business investment.” The study projected development costs of about $40 billion, but would see a $30 billion profit in the first 25 years of operation. The study also predicted a 931,745 increase in jobs, $74.8 billion increase in property values, and an expanded tax base that would generate $12.7 billion in government revenue from 2025 to 2050.

The report also projected that the renewable powered emission-free hyperloop system proposed by HyperloopTT would eliminate 143 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by replacing air, car, and rail transit along the corridor.

Hamburg
In 2018, HyperloopTT announced the creation of a joint venture with Hamburger Hafen und Logistik Aktiengesellschaft (HHLA)  the leading container terminal operator in the Port of Hamburg. The project aims to build a 100-meter test track to test the cargo system before expanding the system to connect the port with an inland container yard to alleviate port congestion. In 2019, HyperloopTT announced a partnership with the Gaussin Group, a French autonomous vehicle company, to create the AIV HyperloopTT electric self-driving vehicles that will cost-efficiently carry and transfer containers for the fully automated Hyperloop Cargo System.

Schedule

Previous season
Vanderbilt came into the 1998 season unranked and had a streak of 14 losing seasons. 1998 was no better as Vanderbilt finished the season with a 2–9 record, 1–7 in the SEC. The season began with a 42–0 loss at Mississippi State.   The next week fared no better for the Commodores as they were beaten by Alabama, 32–7.  In week three, Vanderbilt had its home opener, but to no avail, as the Commodores fell to Ole Miss, 30–6, and in week four, Vanderbilt lost to TCU, 19–16 in overtime.

The next game for the Commodores was a loss to Western Michigan at home, 27–23.  Vanderbilt put themselves out of bowl contention with a 31–6 loss to Georgia.  The week following, Vanderbilt got their first win, a 17–14 win over South Carolina.  The next game also ended with a Vandy victory, a 36–33 overtime win over Duke. Victory was short-lived, however, as the Dores lost their final three games.  A 45–13 loss to Florida started the gloomy November, followed by a loss 55–17 to Kentucky, and a 41–0 loss to instate rival Tennessee.
