title: Star Awards for Favourite Host

text:
The Star Awards for Favourite Host was an award presented annually at the Star Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1994.

The category was introduced in 2012, at the 18th Star Awards ceremony; Bryan Wong received the award for his performance in Renaissance. The award was introduced after the discontinuation of the Favourite Onscreen Partners (Variety) award. It was given in honour of a MediaCorp host that is deemed the most popular among the television audience. The nominees were determined by a team of judges employed by MediaCorp; winners were selected by a majority vote from the public via online voting.

Since its inception, the award was given to only one host. Bryan Wong is the most recent and final winner in this category, for his performance in S.N.A.P. Pornsak and Wong have been nominated on two occasions, more than any other host. Pornsak also holds the record for the most nominations without a win.

The award was discontinued from 2014 onwards as the popularity element of the award is already represented in the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes and Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes awards.

title: London Spy

text:
London Spy is a British-American five-part drama television serial created and written by Tom Rob Smith that aired on BBC Two from 9 November until 7 December 2015. It was aired on Netflix in 2018.

Plot
London Spy begins as the story of two young men: Danny (Ben Whishaw)—gregarious, hedonistic, and romantic—falls in love with Alex (Edward Holcroft)—asocial, enigmatic, and brilliant. Just as they discover how perfect they are for each other, Alex disappears. Danny finds Alex's body. They lived very different lives: Danny is from a world of clubbing and youthful excess; Alex, it turns out, worked for the Secret Intelligence Service.  Although utterly ill-equipped to take on the world of espionage, Danny decides to fight for the truth about Alex's death.

The executive producers were Juliette Howell, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, and Polly Hill. Filming began in 2014 in London, West London Film Studios, Kent, on the Isle of Grain and at Dartford.

The story was inspired by the death of Gareth Williams, an MI6 agent found dead under similar, mysterious circumstances.

Release
The first episode premiered in the U.K. on BBC Two at 9pm on Monday 9 November 2015, and the serial concluded 7 December 2015. In the U.S., it premiered on BBC America starting 21 January 2016. In 2018 it was carried on Netflix.

Episodes

Critical reception
Reviewing Episode One for The Guardian, Lucy Mangan called it "an unutterably delicious, satisfying dish," with "Jim Broadbent, in fully teddy-bear-carrying-a-switchblade mode.." and Whishaw "the most powerful actor ever made out of thistledown and magic." The Daily Telegraphs Jasper Rees was unconvinced: "Whishaw's intense fixity of purpose could do nothing to defibrillate his DOA dialogue..." The same newspaper's Harry Mount gave a critical review of episode 3 which he regarded as "wearily unconvincing" with "long spells of ennui."

After Episode 4 had screened, several prominent critics agreed that, whatever they thought of its story, the series possessed a haunting quality. Gabriel Tate of The Daily Telegraph wrote: "London Spy, has been adored and abhorred. Its ambition has delighted and infuriated, its obfuscation has intrigued and frustrated. It is, if nothing else, a singular vision..." A.A. Gill of The Sunday Times wrote: "This is a strange, inexplicably compelling story. There are vast lacunas in the plot, filled with the unblinking performance of Ben Whishaw, made more memorable because most of it is done without words. Everyone else revolves around him, but he remains essentially a hole at the centre of the doughnut. It is a characterisation of great depth, in a plot that is nothing more than a series of enigmas, presented enigmatically."

Jack Searle in The Guardian called it an "intoxicating series" with "a beguiling emotional aesthetic." "It was inevitable that, when prosaic explanation finally had to intrude on all this elliptical artistry, the spell was partly broken. A thriller hasn't so boldly made the genre beautiful since The Shadow Line. London Spy has lived in the gap between plot and subtext – between what it's about, and what it's really about. It's really about self-knowledge, and how lovers try to know each other while lying about themselves."

Following the screening of the final episode, Gabriel Tate wrote in The Guardian that the series had "a somewhat daft and implausible ending, but there was still much to enjoy, mostly from the brilliant Ben Whishaw." Benji Wilson in The Daily Telegraph called it "wonderful and infuriating in equal measure..Has there ever been a television series that's frustrated as much as London Spy (BBC 2)? Over five weeks this contemporary thriller has scaled giddy heights and then plumbed ludicrous depths, gone from being completely gripping to turgid as hell, thrown up single scenes of startling brilliance then followed them with some preposterous self-indulgence... London Spy potentially great script was in desperate need of some doughty editing."

The Guardian Mark Lawson named the series one of the best shows of 2015.

The series was nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Mini-Series, the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Movie or Limited Series. and the Royal Television Society Award for Mini-Series.

Ecology
Lycodryas are arboreal snakes that are believed to be active hunters. However, their ecology is generally poorly known.

Description
Lycodryas are markedly elongated, slender-bodied snakes with often striking coloration. The head is distinct. They typically have 8 (range: 7–9) upper labials and 6–10 lower labials, 1 loreal scale, 17–19 rows of dorsal scales at mid-body and 13 or 15 rows of dorsal scales at the last ventral, 185–284 ventral scales, anal plate that is usually divided, and 70–130 subcaudal scales. The contracted pupil is a small vertical ellipse.

Species
The following nine species are recognized as being valid.
Lycodryas citrinus (Domergue, 1995)
Lycodryas cococola  Hawlitschek, Nagy & Glaw, 2012
Lycodryas gaimardii (Schlegel, 1837)

title: Houyoux

text:
The Houyoux is a northern tributary stream of the river Meuse in Belgium, flowing through Hesbaye in the province of Namur.

The Houyoux rises in Warisoulx passing through the villages of Villers-lez-Heest, Rhisnes, the Namur city suburbs of Saint-Servais and Bomel before its confluence with the Meuse in the city of Namur (In the distant past it fed the moat of the northern wall of the city of Namur).

In the past, along the Gembloux-Nemur road that passed through the old municipality of Saint-Servais, the Houyoux allowed some watermill powered industry to grow and contributed to the prosperity of the village before it became suburb of Namur.

The average flow of Houyoux measured at Rhisnes, in the municipality of La Bruyère (watershed ) between 1971 and 2003 was  per second. During the same period there has been:
A maximum average annual rate of  in 1981
A minimum average annual rate of  in 1971

title: Grundtvig's Church, Esbjerg

text:
Grundtvig's Church () is a modern church in Esbjerg in the southwest of Jutland, Denmark. Designed by Ole Nielsen of Lyngby, the building of dark red brick with a red-tiled roof was completed in 1969.

Background
The process leading to a decision on the church's construction dragged on for decades. As far back as the 1920s, the church committee of the Church of Our Saviour had discussed building a church to be named Rørkjær Church near Rørkjæar School southeast of the town centre. Matters were delayed after Jerne Parish was incorporated into Esbjerg Municipality, as well as by the Second World War (1940–1945). Further delays occurred when the congrational committee of Zion's Church discussed and finally decided to build Trinity Church (completed in 1961) in the east area of the town. Nevertheless, a competition was arranged in 1957, with Ole Nielsen submitting one of the 130 proposals but no decision was made owing to financial difficulties caused by inflation. In 1966, after it became easier to obtain a building loan, Nielsen's offer was accepted and the foundation stone was laid. The new parish was separated from Trinity Parish (Vor Frelsers Sogn) and the church was consecrated in 1969.

Architecture
The complex consists of the church itself with parish rooms to the west surrounding a courtyard. There is also a closed courtyard with a funeral chapel. The rectangular nave flanking Grundtvigs Allé with an altar to the north is completed by a low transverse tower behind the altar wall. The church's V-shaped roof rises towards the tower while a short area of roofing covers the organ loft at the south end.

Inside, the large wall surfaces are broken only by 12 narrow windows on the east side, creating a contrast with the much brighter tower room which opens into the chancel with light entering from a window high on the east side of the tower. The steeply inclined ceiling is of untreated boarding. The floor, which falls towards the slightly raised altar, is paved with white Italian marble tiling. The altar and pulpit are brick. There is a simple wooden cross above the altar which is decorated as the Tree of Life. The font is a solid granite block. The organ from 1971 was made by Frobenius & Sons, Lyngby. It has 18 stops, three manuals and a pedal.

title: Charles-Simon Pradier

text:
Charles-Simon Pradier (1786 – 21 July 1847) was a Swiss engraver who also worked in France and Brazil. He was recognized as one of the leading engravers of his day. He collaborated with Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres on several works.

Life

Charles-Simon Pradier came from a family of refugees from Languedoc.
He was born in Geneva in 1786.
His brother was the sculptor Jean-Jacques Pradier (1790-1852), better known as James Pradier.
He was a pupil of Auguste Gaspard Louis Desnoyers, who was in turn a pupil of Pierre Alexandre Tardieu (1756-1844).
He was to become one of the most distinguished engravers of his day.
He became a member of the Drawing Committee of the Société des Arts in 1812, but was not active in it since he usually lived in Geneva.

Pradier was a member of the Missão Artística Francesa organized by Joachim Lebreton which brought a number of artists to Brazil, arriving on 25 March 1816.
These included the painters Jean-Baptiste Debret (1768-1848) and Nicolas-Antoine Taunay (1755-1830), the sculptor Auguste Marie Taunay (1768-1824), the brothers Marc Ferrez (1788-1850) and Zepherin Ferrez (1797-1851) and the architect Grandjean de Montigny (1776-1850).
They were to form the nucleus of a royal art academy in Brazil.
Pradier left Brazil in 1818 and returned to Paris. He claimed that in Brazil there was no appropriate paper for printing his works.

In 1825 Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres gave Pradier permission to make a print of his painting of Virgil reading the Aeneid to the Emperor Augustus.
Ingres introduced changes, and made a drawing in 1830 that seems to have been the version copied by Pradier.
Pradier won the cross of the Legion of Honour for this engraving.
Later Ingres created a smaller version of his Antiochus and Stratonice for engraving by Pradier, but the project was eventually abandoned.

Pradier returned to Geneva in 1847 in failing health. He died nearby at Mornex on 21 July 1847.
Pradier's last work was Jesus giving the keys to Saint Peter, after a painting by Ingres, on which he worked for seven years.
The engraving was exhibited in Geneva in August 1847.

title: Fort Mattapony

text:
Fort Mattapony/Ryefield  is a historic archaeological site located near Walkerton, King and Queen County, Virginia. The Fort Mattapony/Ryefield archeological sites, which has been dated archeologically to the fourth quarter of the 17th century, are located in a one-acre area on prominent grassy hilltop overlooking the Mattaponi River, Walkerton and Locust Grove.  Collectively designated 44KQ7 in Virginia's official inventory of archeological sites, the site consists of two closely associated components, the Fort Mattapony storehouse and a domestic structure called Ryefield. After abandonment of the fort at the close of the 17th century and the domestic structure by the mid-18th century, a later colonial plantation, Locust Grove, developed in the surrounding area, which continues to be occupied by descendants.

The land on which the Fort Mattapony/Ryefield archaeological sites are located was first patented by Edward Digges in 1653. Digges, who shortly thereafter became Governor of Virginia, deserted his patent, and in 1665 it was granted to Lt. Colonel Thomas Walker, in whose family it has remained ever since.

Both Digges' and Walker's patents refer to the 2,300 acre grant as the 'Mattapony Fort tract,' strongly suggesting that by 1653 a fortification of some sort was, or had been, located wi thin the confines of the property. Documentary research, however, does not indicate that an officially sanctioned fort was ever built on the tract during the first half of the 17th century.

Instead, the Diggs-Walker tract may have been called 'Fort Mattapony' because earlier settlers built a palisaded house, or fort, somewhere on the property. This was the type of fortified home colonists were encouraged to construct for their own defense, due to violation of the Treaty of 1646. This treaty stated that the land on the Northside of the York River was reserved for the Indians, and yet by 1653 settlement had spread both north and westward into that territory. Consequently, the Fort Mattapony tract lay within the frontier interface between the Indians and the English, a likely location for a fortified house.

In April 1679, the Grand Assembly "took into sad and serious consideration the sundry murthers, rapins, and many depredations lately committed and done by the Indians on the inhabitants of the country" and passed an act ordering the establishment of a fort at the head of each of the colony's four major rivers, the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the York, and the James. These forts were to be built above the Indian towns "for the defense of the County against the incursions of the Indian enemy" and were perhaps an official response to the conditions which had preceded Bacon's Rebellion. According to the 1679 Act of Assembly, each fort was to consist of a 22 foot by 60 foot sturdily constructed frame storehouse, built for the use of the men to be garrisoned there and a 10-foot square building to house their ammunition. The fort on the York River was to be located on the Mattaponi River, its northernmost branch, and was called Fort Mattapony.

Fort Mattapony was ordered constructed and outfitted by Captain Richard Johnson, whose home plantation lay between the Mastacock and Pesticock Swamps to the south of Thomas Walker's land. The fact he was charged with that responsibility suggests that the Walkers were not yet occupying the tract and that Johnson was the nearest militia officer.

40 men were originally assigned to Fort Mattapony. These men were to keep watch over their area and interrogate any Indians they encountered. Men from New Kent, York, and one-third of Gloucester County (now King and Queen County) were to supply and complete the garrison at Fort Mattapony. Four Indians native to the vicinity of each fort were to be in attendance at each garrison. All military units were to be completed by June 20, 1679, or two months from the time the act was passed authorizing construction of the forts. One year later, on July 8, 1680, the Executive Council ordered that each garrison be reduced to twenty men, ten of whom would be local militia, and ten, "his Majesty's soldiers." On July 22, 1680, Sir Henry Chickeley offered thirty-two of his soldiers to be divided among the four garrisons. The provincial soldiers they replaced were to be sent home with neither arms nor horses. This reduction of Fort Mattapony may have been in part due to the 1680 peace established between the Iroquois and the English, as well as the poor market price obtained for tobacco. The need for forts and their protection had seemingly lessened, as had the fiscal wherewithal to support them

Fort Mattapony was decommissioned in 1682

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

title: Badri (director)

text:
Badri is an Indian film director and screenwriter who primarily works in Tamil film industry. He started his career with television series Malargal and made his debut in films with Veerappu in 2007.

Career
Badri started his career by directing a Television series such as Aadugiran Kannan and Malargal for Sun TV. He then shifted to cinema by working as an assistant to Sundar C. and also made his directorial debut by directing him in Veerappu, remake of Malayalam film Spadikam. The film released in 2007 to mixed reviews, with one critic claiming that it is a "racy commercial entertainer" while another critic felt that it is not good as original. He again collaborated with Sundar C. with Ainthaam Padai, film received negative reviews with critics accusing director for plagiarism by lifting scenes from Malayalam film Devasuram.

He then written and directed Thambikku Indha Ooru with Bharath, the film received negative reviews and became unsuccessful at box office. He wrote dialogues for Sundar C.'s directorial Kalakalappu.

Shiva and Vendhar Movies approached Badri to direct the remake of Rajinikanth starrer Thillu Mullu. Badri said that he ventured into Thillu Mullu with an open mind. "I wanted to make the storyline contemporary. Retaining the characters from the original, I wrote the script to suit today's generation". The film was launched on 24 August 2012 with a puja at the Image Auditorium at MRC Nagar in Chennai. Celebs included Karthi, Sneha, Prasanna, Meena, S. A. Chandrasekhar, Ambika, Vijay Antony, K. Balachander, Vaali and Dharani were present at the launch. The team after shooting in Chennai and Hyderabad headed to Dubai and Abu Dhabi to can a few songs and scenes. The songs Ragaangal Pathinaru was also shot in Dubai. The shooting was completed in March 2013. After wrapping up the shoot, Badri decided to shoot a music video of the 'Thillu Mullu' remix and convinced the M. S. Viswanathan to appear alongside Yuvan Shankar Raja in the iconic song. Prakash Raj played the character previously portrayed by Thengai Srinivasan. Director Badri stated "the challenge was to cast someone in Thengai Srinivasan's role. I couldn't think of anyone other than Prakash Raj". Kovai Sarala was selected to play Sowcar Janaki's role. Santhanam reprised the special guest appearance by Kamal Haasan.

Thillu Mullu received mixed critical response. M. Suganth of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 and said, "Much of the credit for this (film) should go to director Badri, whose script clearly suggests that some amount of thought has gone into reworking a cult classic for present-day audiences. Instead of going for a scene by scene remake, he manages to spin newer situations that make it very much a film of our times."

title: Chakradhar Singh

text:
Raja Chakradhar Singh  (19 August 1905 −7  October 1947) was the Raja of Raigarh and Chief of Bargarh ruled by Gond dynasty. He was the ruler of Princely state of Raigarh from 1924 till his death in 1947. He was son of Raja Bhup Deo Singh, who died in 1917.

Early life
He completed his education from Rajkumar College, Raipur. He succeeded to throne of Raigrah upon death of his elder brother, Raja Natwar Singh in 1924. The government management however continued till 1927 when Raja was invested with powers.

Music
He was a great patron of Indian arts, classical dance, music invited to his capital music and dance-experts from different parts of the country. His contribution has been important in the development of the classical form of Kathak. During the reign of Raja Chakradhar Singh, experts of both the gharanas, namely, Jaipur and Lucknow gained prominent positions and were patronised by him. Even experts from Benares gharana were in his court. The Raigarh Gharana of Kathak was established by him during his reign, which produced many luminaries, dancers, singers and musicians due to his patronage and philanthropy. Among the noted Kathak exponents to have served his court were Pandit Jaggannath Prasad of Jaipur Gharana and Guru Kalaka Prasad and his sons of Lucknow Gharana. He invented a new dance form by mixing different dance forms, which led to foundation of Raigarh Gharana. Raigarh Gharana thus founded by Raja Chakradhar Singh, although the youngest of all gharanas, has its own compositions of thumris, ghazals, todas and bols which are unique in themselves.

Chakradhar Singh was himself a great exponent of tabla and pakhawaj. He was himself also a good dancer and musician. His patronage extended to all dancers irrespective of their gharana. His name is often taken with Wajid Ali Shah of Awadh as a patron of classical Indian dance and music, especially with respect to Kathak dance and Hindustani classical music. Among the dancers and musicians to have performed or served his court were Pandit Makhan Lal Chaturvedi, Dr. Ramkumar Verma, Pandit Mahaveer Prasad Dwivedi, Pandit Padumlal Punnalal Bakshi. Even Sanskrit language writers like Pandit Sadashiv Das, Pandit Sharda Prasad, Pandit Kashi Dutt Jha served him, through them he translated a lot of music and dance literature in Sanskrit.

In 1938, Chakradhar Singh headed the first All India Music Conference held at Allahbad. In this conference Chakradhar Singh went with his team of 60 artists. In 1939, the conference organised a welcome party for Viceroy of India, where Kathak dancer Karthik Kalyan presented the dance and was assisted by Chakradhar Singh, who played tabla. He was given title of Sangit Samrat - (King of Music) by the Viceroy Lord Linlithgow at this conference. In 1943 conference at Khairagarh, he again played tabla for the dance performance of Kalyan Das.

He had a very good knowledge of Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu and Oriya and has written several books on Indian traditional music such as

 Alkapuri Tilasmi
 Bairagadiya Rajkumar
 Joshe Pharhad
 Kavya Kanan
 Mayachakra
 Moorj Paran Pushpakar

 Nartan Sarwasya
 Nigare Pharhad

 Raag Ratna Manjusha
 Ramyaras
 Ratnahar
 Taal Toynidhi
 Taalbal Pushpakar

Death
Raja Chakaradhar Singh died on 7 October 1947 just after independence of India. After his death, Lalit Kumar Singh, his son succeeded him to the throne of Raigarh and ruled briefly before the Raigarh State was merged into Union of India on 14 December 1947.

The princely states of Jashpur, Raigarh, Sakti, Sarangarh and Udaipur were united later to form the Raigarh district.

His second son Surendra Kumar Singh was s politician of Indian National Congress.

It was just weird to go from one to the other, two completely different characters."

Following the Montenegrin independence, Pljevlja played one season in the Montenegrin First League. After the relegation and one season spent in Second Handball League, the club was back in the First League, under the old name - RK Rudar.

First League seasons

In the SFR Yugoslavia and FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro, RK Rudar participated in the First League during the eight seasons: 1964/65, 2001/02, 2002/03, 2003/04, 2004/05.

After the Montenegrin independence, Rudar played in the Montenegrin First League during the seasons 2006/07, 2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12, 2014/15.

title: Fusion of the Belgian municipalities

text:
The fusion of the Belgian municipalities (French: fusion des communes, Dutch: fusie van Belgische gemeenten) was a Belgian political process that rationalized and reduced the number of municipalities in Belgium between 1975 and 1983. In 1961, there were 2,663 such municipalities; by 1983, these had been re-arranged and combined into 589 municipalities.

21st century
The regionalisation of local government organisation slowly renewed the question of municipality merging, especially in Flanders. The Flemish, Walloon and Brussels Regions became responsible for their respective municipalities in 2001. The Flemish decree of 24 June 2016 on the Voluntary Merging of Municipalities created a regulated procedure, including a financial incentive for municipalities who merge. After decades without any change, some municipalities began seriously considering a fusion.

Fifteen Flemish municipalities were merged into seven per 1 January 2019, reducing the number of Flemish municipalities from 308 to 300, and the Belgian total from 589 to 581.

As of 2022, several more municipalities are in the process of merging by 1 January 2025.

title: Laboratoire de Physique des Solides

text:
The Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (Laboratory of Solid State Physics) is a research institute of the Paris-Saclay University, associated to the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS) as a joint research unit. It is located in Orsay, France, about 25 km southwest of Paris.

Research
The physics of condensed matter is addressed in all its diversity, but the current activities can be loosely divided into three main topics, each one involving about thirty permanent researchers:

 New electronic states of matter
 Physical phenomena with reduced dimensions
 Soft matter and physics-biology interface

Topic 1: theoretical and experimental studies, related to the properties of correlated fermions (superconductivity, magnetism, metal–insulator transition, and so on). Research fields variate from low dimension conductors and superconductivity to Quantum Hall effects and Kondo effect and heavy fermions.

Topic 2: studies related to “nanosciences”, broadly speaking. They are approached from the point of view of fundamental properties, and cover the situation when the size of an object becomes comparable to certain characteristic scales (coherence length, mean free path, etc.). Among the research fields there are the thermodynamics of nanostructures, the magnetization dynamics of magnetic materials, the (quantum) electronic properties at low temperatures and others. Used physical techniques: low-energy electron diffraction, high-energy electron spectroscopy and microscopy, X-Ray scattering, ion desorption by impact of very low energy electrons, and optical microscopy.

Topic 3: studies of “soft matter” including biological systems. Topics range from complex systems to living tissues, from liquid crystals to foams, passing through polymers or granular systems. These studies are often done at the interface with physical chemistry and biology. For studying scientists use theoretical and numerical analysis and modelizations.

Teaching
The faculty (but also the CNRS researchers) are actively involved in various undergraduate and graduate courses and programs aimed at students of the Orsay and Paris universities and at students of engineering schools (“Grandes Écoles”). The laboratory hosts a graduate program leading to a degree in solid state physics: the “Physics of Condensed Matter” master, common to the Paris VI, VII and XI universities, to the École Normale Supérieure and to the École Polytechnique.

More generally, research and technical training is a major concern of the laboratory, which, besides PhD students, hosts a large number of interns at many levels.

Outreach

The laboratory hosts a "Physics reimagined" research team entirely dedicated to innovating the way modern physics is taught for the general public. Collaborating with designers, museums and students, the team creates different tools, such as 3D animations, science graphs, folding hands-on and project about quantum physics as seen by designers, that help simplify understanding of complex areas of physics. "Physics reimagined" invited illustrator Heloise Chochois to create the comic about how the life of a physicist looks inside. Among other things, the team engages in research activities related to the science communication, interdisciplinarity and innovative pedagogies.

Other major contributions are the involvement in large-scale actions such as:
 2011, Year of Supraconductivity
 2014, International Year of Cristallography

History
The Laboratory of Solid State Physics was founded by André Guinier, Jacques Friedel and Raimond Castaing in 1959 on the Orsay campus.

The laboratory had been based in building 210, built for the École Normale, until 1970. Then the LPS was moved to building 510 on the Moulon plateau that it still occupies. In 1966 the laboratory was part of the Centre de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).

Three founders of the laboratory with Pierre-Gilles have established and developed there three research features that are still presented: reach a relation between material properties and the problems of matter organization, couple experiment with theory and develop physical instrumentation for answering these questions.

French physict Albert Fert received from the King of Sweden the medal and diplomas of the Physics Nobel Prize on the 10th December 2007. The award was for discovering the giant magnetoresistance at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides. The work had an impact on electronics created a new form of it- spintronics.

Gulfport Veterans Administration Medical Center Historic District, also known as Centennial Plaza, is a  compound located in Gulfport, Mississippi.  The facility operated as a medical center under the Veterans Administration from the 1920s until 2005, when damage from Hurricane Katrina resulted in its closure.  The property was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 2010 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

History
Development of the property began in 1916, when it was selected as the site for Mississippi's centennial statehood celebration.  The centennial exposition was set to open in the autumn of 1917, but with the advent of World War I, the event was never held.

In support of the war, Mississippi leased the property, including the temporary centennial exhibition buildings, to the U.S. Navy for use as a training facility.  When the war ended, the U.S. Public Health Service took over the lease, and in 1921, opened a hospital for neuropsychiatric care of military servicemen.  In 1922, the hospital was transferred to the U.S. Veterans' Bureau.  That same year, the Bureau purchased the property from the State of Mississippi and began construction of several buildings that were completed in 1923.  As time passed, medical services increased and additional buildings were constructed to accommodate more veterans.

The medical center continued to operate into the 21st century, but closed after Hurricane Katrina's storm surge caused the collapse of one structure and flooding of the other buildings to a depth of .  Following storm cleanup, the Veterans Administration transferred the property to the City of Gulfport in 2009.

Contributing resources
The historic district contains twelve contributing resources, ten of which are historic buildings that were constructed between 1920 and 1950 in Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style.  The historic buildings were constructed using poured concrete, terra cotta brick with stucco finishes, and terra cotta tile roofs.  In the post-hurricane cleanup, the interiors of all ten buildings were gutted in preparation for future renovation.

The two contributing resources that are not buildings include the main entry gates and the site landscape which incorporated southern live oaks around the perimeter of each building.  The ten historic buildings are as follows:

Development
Development of the property as a community oriented marketplace, utilized existing buildings to create retail outlets, restaurants, and hotels.

Mississippi bicentennial celebration
The bicentennial celebration for south Mississippi was held at Centennial Plaza on March 31 and April 1, 2017. During the event, the U. S. Postal Service introduced a first-day-of-issue forever stamp to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Mississippi statehood. Approximately 25,000 people attended the two-day celebration.

Resort development
In August 2019, Centennial Plaza Resort opened to the public. The US$100 million development included renovation of 10 historical buildings within the  complex. When the new resort opened, it had two hotels containing over 200 rooms, two full-service restaurants, a  water park (splash pads, slides, pool), and a wedding chapel so as to accommodate both business and family clientele.

title: Wong Hong Mok

text:
Wong Hong Mok (better known as Huang Hongmo 黄宏墨) is a xinyao (新谣 Singapore Chinese folk-pop) singer-songwriter, music producer and professional photographer from Singapore. He, along with Liang Wern Fook and others are seen as pioneers of the genre.

His singing style has been described as bold and unrestrained but, unlike other xinyao singer-songwriters, writes about nature, and self. He has said that this comes from the time in his life when he spent a lot of time near the sea.

Crediting his father for his love of music, he is a self-taught musician; his family was too poor for him to be able to take music lessons. As well as playing the guitar, he taught himself how to play the harmonica and the piano.

As he grew up, he found most of the music that was around in the Chinese music scene, meaningless; however, inspired by the music of Lo Ta-Yu (罗大佑) from Taiwan, whose writings he found more meaningful, he started to write his own songs and, in 1982, wrote his first song, Discard (抛). His songs were first heard on the radio in 1984 on the Chinese radio programme New Voices, New Songs (歌韵新声), which was seen as a gateway for young musicians.

He won the “Best Lyrics Award” at the 1999 New Ballad Festival (新谣节). In June 2004, Wong Hong Mok was the first to represent Singapore in the 2nd Asia Music Concert (第二届中新歌会). In 1990, his first album "Wild Man's Dream" (野人的梦) was well received by music lovers. He remains the all-time favourite guest performer on MediaCorp Channel 8. His works include:
 "Endless Enchantment" (万种风情)
 "Childhood Homeland" (童言故乡)
 "The Wild Man's Dreams" (野人的梦)
 "The Soliloquy of a Stupid Bird" (笨鸟的表白)
 "Sunset Lake Colours" (夕阳湖色)
 "Mountain Affair" (山情)
 "Final Reminiscence" (最后的惦记)
 "If You Haven't Been Here Before" (如果你不曾来过)
 "Cherish" (惜缘)
 "No Return" (不能回头)
 "Silence" (沉默)
