title: See You Next Tuesday (film)

text:
See You Next Tuesday is a 2013 independent drama film directed by Drew Tobia and his first full length feature film. The film had its world premiere on October 13, 2013 at the London Film Festival and Eleanore Pienta as a pregnant woman that has a complicated personal relationship with her family.

Tobia initially came up with the concept for the film after viewing one of Eleanore Pienta's photography projects, which featured a pregnant woman that had a phobia of her fetus contracting an infection by flies. From there Tobia wrote the film's script and added additional characters to round out the cast. Filming took place in Brooklyn in Greenpoint, Sunset Park, and Bushwick.

Synopsis
Mona (Eleanore Pienta) is an unpleasant pregnant woman that ends up getting fired from her job as a checkout clerk at a grocery store in Brooklyn. She's later kicked out of her mother May's (Dana Eskelson) apartment, which forces her to move in with her lesbian sister Jordan (Molly Plunk) and her girlfriend Sylve (Keisha Zollar). Mona's relationship with Jordan is as toxic as her relationship with her mother, and her presence soon puts an additional strain on Jordan and Sylve's own relationship.

Reception
Critical reception for See You Next Tuesday has been mixed to positive and Tallie Medel (via Paste magazine) considered the film to be one of her favorite movies for 2013. The Tucson Weekly and Toronto Star both praised the film, and the Toronto Star commented that the film was sometimes "abrasive" and that "Flashes of humour and some unexpected moments of poignancy help temper the rough stuff". Critics for IndieWire lauded the film, with one critic citing the movie's birth scene as a highlight while the other remarked that See You Next Tuesday deserved more attention than it got.

The Hollywood Reporter panned See You Next Tuesday overall, as they felt that it was "deeply unpleasant" and that it was "solely for viewers who demand extremes."

text:
Ritual Groove Music is the debut album by Swiss pianist, composer, record producer and author r Nik Bärtsch's band Mobile recorded in Switzerland in 2000 and first released on the Tonus Music label in 2004.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos called it "A tip-of-the-iceberg recording, in the figurative and literal sense, one can speculate this is a mere beginning, almost child's play, for what Bärtsch and his crew have in store for the future of his compelling and singularly original music". On All About Jazz Budd Kopman noted "For the most part, the tracks sound spliced together, which only further enhances the trance-like effect the music can have. The album thus sounds like a show with terrific pacing, bringing the listener up and down by changing parameters such as overall pitch and speed of the figures".

Gilbert Bigio is a retired Haitian businessman. He is the founder of GB Group and Haiti's billionaire. He was sanctioned by the Government of Canada for his involvement in arms trafficking and human rights violations in Haiti. Bigio is also the de facto leader of Haiti's Jewish community and an honorary consul to Israel.

Bigio's name appeared in the 2021 Pandora Papers leak of secret offshore company documents by the ICIJ. In an accounting document from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, Bigio was revealed as the buyer of Epstein's Mercedes Maybach at a price of $132,000. Other leaked documents showed Bigio moving wealth to Miami and Switzerland through offshore companies in different tax havens.

Early years
Bigio is from a Sephardic Jewish family from Aleppo, Syria, whose family emigrated to Haiti in 1896. The family has also been involved in other commercial activities all throughout the country. The Bigio family has remained in Haiti, prominent in business affairs for three generations.

Canadian Government sanctions against Bigio
On December 2, 2022 the Government of Canada imposed sanctions against Bigio, along with two other Haitian businessmen; Reynold Deeb and Sherif Abdallah. The sanctions against Bigio was a response to his alleged participation in "gross and systematic human rights violations in Haiti and engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Haiti." The Canadian sanctions against Bigio were intended to stop the flow of illicit funds and weapons to armed criminal gangs in Haiti.

Specifically Bigio is accused of supporting "illegal activities of armed criminal gangs, including through money laundering and other acts of corruption" according to a statement from the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs.

title: José Arechavaleta

text:
right|thumb|José Arechavaleta (1838–1912)
José Arechavaleta (27 September 1838, Urioste, near Bilbao – 16 June 1912, Montevideo) was a Spanish-born pharmacist, geologist and naturalist, active in Uruguay.

At the age of 18, he emigrated to Uruguay, where he made the acquaintanceship of botanist José Ernesto Gibert (1818–1886). In 1862 he obtained a degree in pharmacy, and later taught classes in botany, zoology and natural history at the University of the Republic in Montevideo. In 1892 he was appointed general director of the natural history museum in Montevideo, a position he kept until his death in 1912.

In Uruguay, he studied and collected insects from all parts of the country, being particularly interested in Coleoptera. As a botanist, he published a major work on grasses native to the country. He is credited with establishing bacteriology laboratories at the University Institute of Experimental Hygiene. In 1899 the plant genus  Arechavaletaia was named in his honor by Carlos Luigi Spegazzini.

title: Capsize of the ferry Pearl

text:
The capsize of the ferry Pearl occurred on Thursday 13 February 1896 in the Brisbane River, Queensland, Australia. Many people died.

Background
The ferry was a temporary measure due to the loss of both of the bridges that crossed the river, the Victoria Bridge and the Albert Railway Bridge at Indooroopilly after the floods of 1893. Steamers were then commissioned to transfer traffic across the river between Brisbane’s Queen’s Wharf and Musgrave Wharf.

The ferry was described as such: The Pearl was a wooden screw-steamer of ten horse-power and forty-one tons register, gross. Her dimensions were: 58.7ft long, 15.1ft beam, and 5.1ft depth, and she was built in New South Wales in 1883. She had been engaged in the river trade, and between Brisbane and Redland Bay, and was formerly running between the city and Humpybong. The vessel was built with an upper and lower deck, and was licensed to carry about 120 passengers in the river.

Accident
On the afternoon of the disaster, at around 5pm, Pearl was re-crossing the river, which was flowing more strongly than usual due to floodwaters. To avoid a collision with another ship, Normanby, the captain cut power but the ferry was pushed downriver into the anchor chain of Lucinda, a government steam yacht anchored mid-river.

The hull breached and the ferry quickly capsized, drowning those below deck and throwing those on deck into the water, resulting in the death of most of the 80-100 people believed to be on board.

Nearby small boats, including those from other ferries and one from Lucinda, raced to the site and rescued around 40 survivors, some of whom clung to the anchor chain, life buoys, or wreckage. Others retrieved bodies down river in the following weeks.

An inquest was later held into the accident with blame focusing on the captain, James Chard (who survived), who may have been drinking.

title: 2014 Cyprus talks

text:
A joint declaration was made on 11 February 2014 at the start of renewed negotiations to settle the Cyprus dispute. The following talks between Nicos Anastasiades, President of Cyprus, and Derviş Eroğlu, President of Northern Cyprus, were stalled in October 2014.

Background

Post-independence disputes between the Greek and Turkish communities in the Republic of Cyprus resulted, after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, in the self-declaration of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Attempts during the intervening forty years to resolve the division and re-unite Cyprus, most notably the Annan Plan between 2002 and 2004 had all failed, the Annan Plan doing so when, in parallel referendums in April 2004, the Turkish community had voted to accept but the Greek community had voted to reject it. Further negotiations took place after the Greek Cypriot presidential election of 2008 but these first ran into difficulty over disputes about the extent of the Republic of Cyprus's exclusive economic zone and oil exploration within it, and then collapsed over a legal case in a British court which supported Greek Cypriots' property rights within territory controlled by Northern Cyprus. Further meetings in 2010 and 2011 had no significant results and talks were suspended in 2012.

However, some things changed during 2012 and 2013. Gas was discovered in both Cypriot and neighbouring Israeli waters, but the simplest way of getting it to customers in Europe would be via a pipeline through Turkey. The banking collapse in 2013 in the Republic of Cyprus led to economic shrinkage and high unemployment, and reunification could be expected to speed economic recovery and growth. After a lapse of several years, America showed interest in working actively for a solution to the dispute. Nicos Anastasiades, elected President of the Republic of Cyprus in February 2013, had supported the Annan Plan.

The date proposed for renewing talks was October 2013. However, Anastasiades regarded agreement on a joint declaration as a precondition for talks, and agreement on the wording of the declaration was only achieved in February 2014.

The Joint Declaration
On 11 February 2014, the leaders of Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities, Nicos Anastasiades and Derviş Eroğlu, respectively, revealed the following joint declaration:

Reactions to the Joint Declaration
The governments of both Greece and Turkey expressed their support for renewed peace talks. The declaration was also welcomed by the European Union.

On 13 February 2014, Archbishop Chrysostomos lent Anastasiades his backing on the Joint Declaration.

On 14 February 2014, the Greek Cypriot negotiator Andreas Mavroyiannis and Turkish Cypriot negotiator Kudret Ozersay held their first meeting and agreed to visit Greece and Turkey respectively.

Reactions among the Greek Cypriot political parties were mixed. The opposition AKEL party declared its support for the declaration. However, Nicolas Papadopoulos, the leader of DIKO, the main partner to Anastasiades' party DISY in the governing coalition, opposed the declaration, and DIKO's executive committee voted on 21 February to recommend to the party's central committee that the party withdraw from the coalition from 4 March. On 27 February, DIKO decided to leave the coalition government, with the rationale that the Joint Declaration conceded separate sovereignty to Turkish Cypriots.

End of the talks
In October 2014, the talks stalled as a result of a crisis ensuing from Turkey's sending of a warship to the Republic of Cyprus-controlled part of the Cypriot waters, as a part of a crisis over the exploration of offshore natural gas reserves. Anastasiades refused to attend the meeting on 9 October 2014, and talks did not resume until May 2015, after the election of Mustafa Akıncı as the Turkish Cypriot president in April 2015.

title: KEMET Corporation

text:
KEMET Corporation, a subsidiary of Yageo Corporation (TAIEX: 2327), is an American company which manufactures a broad selection of capacitor technologies such as tantalum, aluminum, multilayer ceramic, film, paper, polymer electrolytic, and supercapacitors.  KEMET also manufacturers a variety of other passive electronic components, such as AC line filters, EMI cores and filters, flex suppressors, electro-mechanical devices (relays), metal composite inductors, ferrite products, and transformers/magnetics. The product line consists of nearly 5 million distinct part configurations distinguished by various attributes, such as dielectric (or insulating) material, configuration, encapsulation, capacitance (at various tolerances), voltage, performance characteristics, and packaging.

History
In 1919, KEMET Laboratories was founded by Union Carbide Corporation to capitalize on its purchase of Cooper Research Company of Cleveland, Ohio. Cooper had developed an alloy that could be used in the manufacture of vacuum tube components. The name "KEMET" is derived from the words "chemical" and "metallurgy."

In 1958, KEMET changed its market focus to the tantalum capacitor. In 1969, the company entered the market of ceramic capacitors.

In 1990, KEMET Electronics Corporation was acquired from Union Carbide and after two years, the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol KEM. This ended all ties with Union Carbide.

KEMET acquired the tantalum business unit of EPCOS AG in 2007, Evox Rifa Group Oyj and Arcotronics Italia S.p.A. in 2008, Cornell Dubilier Foil, LLC and Niotan Incorporated in 2012.

In 2012, the company completed the acquisition of Cornell Dubilier Foil, LLC and Niotan Incorporated.

In 2017 the company announced the closing of a deal to purchase a controlling share of NEC Tokin. After the purchase by KEMET concludes on April 10, 2017, NEC Tokin will be renamed "TOKIN Corporation".

On November 11, 2019, it was announced that KEMET would be acquired by Yageo of Taiwan. On June 15, 2020, KEMET became a fully owned subsidiary of Yageo.

Products and services
KEMET Electronics Corporation manufacturers capacitors and other components for computing, telecommunications, medical, aerospace defense, and automotive markets. The Solid Capacitor Business Group produces tantalum and ceramic capacitors. The Film and Electrolytic Business Group sells film, paper, solid organic aluminum electrolytic capacitors, wet aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

Tantalum Business Group focuses on tantalum and aluminum capacitors for computing, telecommunications, medical, military, automotive and many other industries. Ceramic Business Group focuses on multilayer ceramic capacitors. Film and Electrolytic Business Group focuses on film, paper and wet aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

Research and development
In January 2014, KEMET introduced the High Voltage-High Temperature (HV-HT) Series in C0G Dielectric, improving the efficiency over competitive high temperature (200 degree) precious metal electrode (PME) and base metal electrode (BME) ceramic capacitor devices.
Oct. 2013 KEMET announced the opening of the new aluminum Electrolytic Innovation Center (EIC) in Weymouth, U.K. Products made from this new center include 20 g High Vibration Screw Terminal capacitors and a Low Inductance product line under Film and Electrolytic Business.
In fiscal year 2015, KEMET had 33 PhD scientists, of which 17 were focused on technology, and 501 engineers (about one half of which are in manufacturing and the other half in R&D). KEMET was granted a record number of 20 U.S. patents in fiscal year 2015.

Awards

In June 2013, KEMET won the Supplier Excellence Award for the Americas, Asia and Europe by TTI.
In 2015, KEMET received the Global Operations Excellence Award from TTI.

title: User Advocacy

text:
User advocacy is a user experience design principle concerned with representing user perspectives in product design. One definition states that user advocacy is the practice of using designated spokespeople to facilitate interaction between users and designers of the products they use. Another more broadly defines user advocacy as the practice of advocating for the user, regardless of whether one is a user, designer, developer, researcher, manager, etc. User advocates typically may suspend their own personal or functional point of view, and attempt to see the product through the eyes of, and the experience of, the user of that product. The ability to take on the user's point of view, without personal judgement or bias, allows the advocate to see things as the user might see them, enabling them to ultimately make observations and perhaps recommendations to improve the user experience. Similarly, some user advocates will take a neutral, scientific point of view, and will observe and collect data from users that will suggest that the product and/or user experience could be changed or improved in a way that users would prefer or benefit from. User advocates may be scientists or engineers who use the scientific method to make improvements that result in increased ease of use, time savings, improved levels of user satisfaction, or other user-centered metrics.

An advocate is a person who argues for or supports a cause or policy.

A user advocate could either be a person, as in a research study; a persona, fictional characters that represent a typical customer or segment of the customer base; or a community, such as participants of a public discussion board.

Origins
The idea of user advocates originated from large-scale software development projects. In such teams, a consensus is reached regarding the roles of a product designer (or systems designer) and the user experience (UX) analyst, that the two roles (designer and UX analyst) can no longer be effectively performed by the same individual(s) due to inherent conflicting interests. An example of such a conflict of interest would be a designer having to defend his own design decision about a product improvement, versus an alternative decision that could lead to a better user experience, but would negate the designer's original decision about how to improve the product.

Designer interaction with actual users on such large-scale projects would often be viewed as expensive and inefficient for some designers, but an alternative view suggests that some designers and some companies do not value interaction with actual users.
Some experts have suggested that designers and developers may even have contempt for actual users. In large-scale projects there is often a practical necessity for the division of labor, but that should not be used to justify lack of user involvement at each step of the software development life cycle. The person responsible for designing a product may be far removed from the development of a product, and even further removed from traditional user experience studies, which analyze how users interact with a product versus how it was designed to be used. The degrees of separation inherent in these large-scale projects can create a disconnect between ambitious designers who risk creating ineffective products that they prefer to design, instead of designing what users want and need. Care must be taken to involve the user at each step of the design cycle, lest the needs of the user be ignored and a sub-standard product design result.

The idea of a consultant with expertise working with a client group has theoretical origins in models of process consulting, which focus on developing close relationships to work out joint solutions.

Developing user personas for the purpose of user advocacy
One practice of user advocacy asks designers to define their users collectively, as one person or a persona, and attach common attributes and characteristics of their typical users, taking into consideration many types of use case scenarios users typically encounter to aid with anticipating the needs and expectations of a user. From this persona and its associated traits, tendencies, use case scenarios, functional requirements and user expectations can be derived and provide refined specifications for product improvements to be developed.

Such a practice essentially channels access product designers to users by representing their needs in the form a persona or fictional character.

User advocacy in technical communication
Technical communicators act as user advocates in the design of information products. They mediate between subject-matter experts and users through user personas, usability testing, and user-centered design. Technical communicators advocate for users based on three standards for product design:
 Usable – Designs are intuitive, safe, and easy to use
 Useful – Designs address user needs as determined by usability testing and user personas
 Compelling – Designs appeal to users, promoting use of the product
Risk communication is a user advocacy subfield centered on communicating and mitigating risks in products and environments.

Benefits of user advocacy in product design
User advocacy also helps make the effects of design decisions easier to measure because the traits and characteristics of user personas often consist of crowdsourced suggestions from actual users. Suggestions for improvement are generalized and prioritized according to frequency, severity, or an alignment with corporate initiatives. As a result, design decisions become less about a designer and more about fulfilling the needs of users, as the suggestions for improvement are typically provided directly by the users themselves.

title: Gavin Crawford's Wild West

text:
Gavin Crawford's Wild West is a Canadian television special, which aired on CBC Television in July 2013. Wild West stars Gavin Crawford as six distinct characters, each representing a different aspect of the society of the Canadian province of Alberta, in a mockumentary format. The characters include:
Katherine Adams, a pompous socialite in Calgary organizing a charity fundraiser;
Lyle Carlyle-Chang, a gay cattle rancher in Cochrane resisting his husband Andy's (Andrew Cheng) suggestion that they revive the failing business by promoting it to tourists as a dude ranch;
Donald Demchuck, a newly elected member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from Edmonton whose constituency assistant Liz (Anita Majumdar) is at her wit's end managing his incompetence;
Jessica Jones, an Australian expatriate working as a massage therapist in Banff;
Trevor Valgardson, a surly teenager in Taber whose widowed mother (Marypat Farrell) and uncle (Brendan Wall) are perennially exasperated with his delusion that he's a vampire;
Conrad Whitehead, a trucker in Fort McMurray who is planning to break up with his girlfriend Shannon (Kaniehtiio Horn).

Originally announced as a planned series in 2011, it was left in limbo by funding cuts to the CBC in 2012, and only the pilot was completed although five more unfilmed episodes had been written before the CBC dropped the project. In 2014, Crawford told Toronto's NOW that he had explored the possibility of reviving the series for a different network, although no firm details were announced and no revival has taken place as of 2019.

The special garnered five Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 2nd Canadian Screen Awards, including nods for Best Comedy Series or Program, Best Actor in a Comedy Series or Program (Crawford) and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series or Program (Cheng).

title: Barbie and the Secret Door

text:
Barbie and the Secret Door is a 2014 computer-animated musical fantasy film. It was released to DVD on September 16, 2014, and made its television debut on Nickelodeon on November 23, 2014.

This film is the 28th entry in the Barbie film series. It was directed by Karen Lloyd and features the voice of Kelly Sheridan as Princess Alexa, a shy princess who discovers a secret door in her kingdom and enters a whimsical land filled with magical creatures.

Plot
Set in a modern-day kingdom, Alexa is a shy, book-reading princess who avoids doing the duties expected of her due to her rank. In order to encourage her, Alexa's grandmother gives her a storybook about a princess who discovers she has magic. While reading the book, Alexa discovers a mysterious door in the royal gardens. She enters the door and finds herself in a fantasy land.

Alexa meets Nori, a fairy missing her wings, and Romy, a mermaid with legs instead of her tail. Nori and Romy are thrilled because as a princess, Alexa can perform magic with a wand. Their realm is under threat by the mean, mischievous Princess Malucia, a spoiled child princess who was born without magic and has been taking it by force from all the creatures she can capture. Alexa is brought to the glade where fairies, mermaids and unicorns are hiding from Malucia. There, Alexa slowly learns to use her wand. However, she cannot return Nori and Romy to their original forms, because their magic is trapped in Malucia's scepter.

The group learn that Malucia is trying to find the Queen Unicorn, who is the most magical creature in the realm. Alexa, Nori, and Romy travel to the Queen Unicorn, hoping to protect her, only to unintentionally lead Malucia and her minions right to her. Malucia captures the Queen Unicorn, while Nori and Romy provide a distraction so that Alexa can escape. While fleeing, Alexa discovers the doorway back to her world but decides to stay and help.

Alexa, Nori, and Romy go to Malucia's palace, where they witness Malucia draining all the unicorns' magic into her scepter. Alexa confronts Malucia, declaring that she is a princess, too, which provokes Malucia into a magical battle to "prove" who is the better princess. During the fight, Alexa realizes that Malucia's scepter is cracking under its magical content. Alexa willingly lets Malucia steal all her magic, which causes Malucia's scepter to explode, releasing all its magic. Malucia is harmless once again, and Alexa, who can now perform magic without a wand, returns all the magic to their rightful owners.

After promising to visit again soon, Alexa returns to her kingdom more confident, and more willing to participate in her princess duties. As for Malucia, her parents return from their holiday and scold her for trying to take over the kingdom again.

title: Port of Esbjerg

text:
The Port of Esbjerg on the southwest coast of Jutland is a competitor to Aarhus and Hamburg for freight. Built by the State in 1868, it was once Denmark's principal fishing harbour but today has become Europe's leading port for shipping offshore wind turbines.

History
Esbjerg was established in 1868 as a replacement for the harbour in Altona, which had previously been Denmark's most important North Sea port but came under German control after the Second Schleswig War in 1864. The harbour was officially opened in 1874. The same year, it benefited from Esbjerg's rail connection to Fredericia on the east coast of Jutland. The initial development of the harbour was completed in 1874. It quickly became a hub for exporting agricultural goods to England, especially butter and bacon. Thanks to the harbour's shipping facilities, by the end of the 19th century, livestock production in the surrounding region increased significantly. From the beginning of the 20th century, Esbjerg attracted fishermen from across the country, particularly for fishing plaice. Located some , Blåvand Lighthouse has served traffic from the Port of Esbjerg since its construction in 1900.

The Port of Esbjerg was administered by the State until 2000 when it became privately controlled under Esbjerg Municipality. Today it is one of the four largest ports in Denmark enjoying a central position in the region's infrastructure. In addition to container and passenger traffic, it has attracted fish-processing activities and marine repair work as well as a wide variety of supporting services.

Passenger ferries
DFDS formerly operated an overnight ferry to Harwich in the south of England, taking about 12 hours. The service ended on 29 September 2014 after 140 years. Over the years since there has been several rumors of a restart of passenger transport, but by September 2021 no new ferry service has been opened.

There were also ferry connections between Esbjerg and Newcastle but these have been discontinued. Over the past few years (written 2014), the number of passengers using the port per annum has averaged 1.8 million.

Harbour details
The Port of Esbjerg covers a total land area of 3.5 million m2 (1.35 sq miles), has  of quays and an alongside depth of some . The Tauruskay offshore wharf has a depth of  while the bulk cargo Australienkaj, the Europakaj and the Vestkraftkaj for containers all have an alongside depth of . The Englandskaj serving passenger traffic has a length of  and an alongside depth of  while the Færgehavn handling containers, passengers and ferries over a length of  has an alongside depth varying from  to . Other wharfs include the Humberkaj for frozen cargoes, the Containerkaj for roll-on, roll-off containerized cargoes and the Oliebro for liquid bulk carriers.

In recent years, the port has handled some 4 million tons of cargo a year, of which some 500,000 tons have been liquid fuels.

Offshore

Esbjerg has served the Danish offshore industry since oil and gas was first extracted from the North Sea in the early 1970s. More recently, it has become a centre for shipping offshore wind turbines. In addition to handling 65 percent of all Danish wind turbines (which now supply 3 GW of offshore wind power), the port has shipped components to various British wind farms. In order to cope with future increases in Danish offshore wind power, twelve companies including DONG Energy and Bluewater Energy Services are planning the establishment of a Green Offshore Centre in Esbjerg. In this connection, in June 2013 the port was significantly expanded with the opening of the Østhavn (East Harbour) covering an area of . Further expansion started in 2017, including two roll-on/roll-off discharge facilities and a Liebherr crane lifting 300 tonnes. The port became the world's largest offshore wind port.  is reserved for decommissioned wind turbines.

title: Hishiryo: Piano Solo

text:
Hishiryo: Solo Piano is a solo album by Swiss pianist and composer Nik Bärtsch recorded in Switzerland in 2002 and first released on the Tonus Music label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by arwulf arwulf stated "This marvelous set of rituals for prepared piano and percussion is the ideal prologue to Bärtsch's subsequent ensemble realizations. It is highly recommended". On All About Jazz Budd Kopman noted "Hishiryo obviously stands out because the instrumentation is solo piano. However, its main interest is that one can clearly see the results of Bartsch the composer at work. With the exception of moduls "TM" and "6," all of the moduls appear on other, mostly earlier records. We are thus given a fascinating glimpse into the music in its nakedness, before it is arranged for Mobile or Ronin".

In 1934, she started working as an accountant and secretary, and she continued writing children's stories, plays, and poetry.

Career
Between 1940 and 1953, Fuertes' work began appearing in children's magazines, such as Pelayos, Chicos, Chicas, Chiquitito; in children's books, such as Flechas y Pelayos (Maravillas); and in the newspaper Arriba, which published the comic strip "Coletas and Pelines".

Together with Maria Dolores and Adelaida Lasantas, Fuertes founded the group "Verses in Skirts" in 1951. The group organized concerts and poetry readings at bars and local cafes, and collaborated on magazines such as Directions, Spanish Poetry and Straw Bird. Between 1950 and 1954, the group worked with Antonio Gala, Julio Mariscal, and Rafael Mir to create and direct the poetry magazine Archer.

From 1955 to 1960, Fuertes studied library science and English at the International Institute. In 1961, she received a Fulbright scholarship in the United States to teach Spanish literature at Bucknell University. Later, she taught at Mary Baldwin University, Bryn Mawr College, and the International Institute until 1963. In 1972, she received a scholarship from the Juan March Foundation for Children's Literature.

In the mid-1970s, she was involved in various children's programs such as TVE, Siendo Un Globo, Dos Globos, Tres Globos y La Cometa Blanca and Martes y Trece.

Literary work
Fuertes' poetry has a colloquial tone, often dealing with everyday objects or events, and universal issues such as love, pain, death, and loneliness. Her works are known for containing metaphors and linguistic games, which give her poems a musicality and cadence close to spoken language.

The influence of the postismo movement, which began in response to the Spanish Civil War, is shown in Fuertes' use of humour. The Spanish Civil War left a deep impression on Fuentes, and her anti-war stance and the influence of the subsequent postismo movement shows in her poetry through her use of ironic humor and protest against the absurdity of civilization. Fuentes said, "Without war tragedy, I might never have written poetry."

Critics have praised Fuertes for her "folksy and deliberately fresh orality", and for "open[ing] the poetic space" of post-war Spain to the concerns of women and the working class.

Gender and sexuality
Fuertes never concealed the fact that she was a lesbian, despite the attitudes of the Franco dictatorship.

Much of Fuertes' work deals with women's rights and questions the gender roles in Francoist Spain. Her 1978 Three Wise Queens: Melchora, Gaspara, y Baltasara, in which the Three Wise Men cannot go to Bethlehem and are replaced by their wives, has become a classic of children's literature in Spain.

Death and legacy
Fuertes died of lung cancer on 27 November 1998, and was buried in the South Cemetery in Madrid. In 2001, her remains were transferred to Madrid's Cemetery of La Paz of Alcobendas. She left her fortune to a Catholic orphanage.

On 28 July 2016, Google celebrated her 99th birthday with a Google Doodle.

title: Grand Mosque of Colombo

text:
The Grand Mosque of Colombo is a mosque located in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The mosque has a documented history that goes back over 500 years. The earliest European reference to the mosque appears in a description from November 1505 when the commander of a Portuguese expedition anchored in Colombo bay. In 1520 following an attack on the Portuguese trading post, established earlier by Lopo de Brito, the Captain of Portuguese Ceylon, the King Bhuvanaikabahu of Kotte burnt the town (Colombo) along with two large mosques. The mosque was however rebuilt on the same site soon after. In the 1820s, the mosque was redesigned and rebuilt by Malay architect, Muhammad Balangkaya, the son of a Malay noble of the Royal House of Gowa (present-day Sulawesi, Indonesia), who was exiled to Ceylon in 1790 by the Dutch. The mosque was rebuilt as a two-storey structure, one of the first of its kind. In 1826 the British Governor of Ceylon, Edward Barnes, visited the mosque and commended the architect on the excellence of his work. In 1827 Sir Alexander Johnston discovered an Arabic inscribed tombstone dating to 948AD, which had been moved by the Dutch from the old Muslim cemetery next to the Grand Mosque, which indicates the mosque may be over 1,100 years old and possibly the oldest mosque in Sri Lanka.

In 1897 an additional wing was constructed under the supervision of I. L. M. H. Muhammad Mohideen. The wing was used in 1959 as classrooms for the newly established school, Al-Madrasathul Hameedia.was Constructed by Sultaan Abdul Hamid the Second of the Ottoman Empire In 1921 the name of the school was changed to the Hameedia Boys' English School.  The mosque was reconstructed again during 1900s to meet the modern needs of the Muslim community.

The mosque contains the shrine of the Malay saint, Tuan Bagoos Balankaya.

title: Tiruchirappalli Bicycle Share

text:
Tiruchirappalli Bicycle Share is a new proposed bicycle sharing system for the city of Tiruchirappalli.

Background
In November 2013, the two-day conference on "Sustainable Cities Through Transport" at Coimbatore, with respective city engineers from Madurai, Tiruchi, Tirupur, Salem and Coimbatore, stressed for improving non–motorised transport in city corporations and town municipalities and also chalked out plans for creation of transit systems, pedestrian pathways, cycling tracks, parks, pedestrian zones, etc. While presenting the same at a workshop in Chennai by concerned Corporation officials, chaired by K. P. Munusamy, State Minister of Municipal Administration and Rural Development, Law, Courts and Prisons and officials of the ministry, the Corporation Commissioner of Tiruchi City, V. P. Thandapani declared that about 2000 bicycles will be put to use for public use and on the infrastructure front, he stated that at an outlay of ,   of cycling tracks,  of pedestrian pathways and  of green lines will be constructed, of which,  of cycle tracks will be completed by next year.

The plan was developed in association with Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) and International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) is being funded by Ministry of Urban Development would create exclusive bicycle lanes with 66 "cycle sharing stations", besides improving the city's road infrastructure and future transport modes, which presently has narrow roads and indiscriminate encroachments coupled with booming vehicle population.

As of December 2019, the Trichy City Corporation has dropped its bicycle sharing project.

title: International Crown

text:
The Hanwha LifePlus International Crown is a biennial women's professional team golf tournament on the LPGA Tour. Eight national teams of four players each (32 players in total) participate in the match play event.

History
It debuted in 2014 at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, a suburb northwest of Baltimore. With selection based on the world rankings of individuals, the eight nations were announced the previous November: Australia, Chinese Taipei, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States. Teams were divided into two pools and played round robin fourball for three days.  The top five teams (20 players) advanced to the ten singles matches on Sunday, with each nation facing the other four. Spain won all four singles matches to win the title with a total of fifteen points; Sweden split its matches to finish in second with eleven points.

The second edition in 2016 took place at the Merit Club in Gurnee, Illinois, north of Chicago. The top two finishers from 2014, champion Spain and runner-up Sweden, did not qualify for 2016 and were replaced by China and England. The United States won the 2016 International Crown with 13 points, winning three out of four singles matches on Sunday with South Korea finishing second with 12 points.

The third, 2018, edition was played 4–7 Oct at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in Incheon, South Korea.  The eight countries participating were South Korea, United States, Japan, England, Australia, Thailand, Sweden, and Chinese Taipei. This field was the same as 2016, with the exception of Sweden replacing China. The team members were finalized on 2 July 2018.

The 2020 event, scheduled for 27–30 August at the Centurion Club in St Albans, England, was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In October 2022, the LPGA announced the return of the event for the 2023 season with a new name and title sponsor, the Hanwha LifePlus International Crown. It will be held at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California from 4–7 May 2023.

Sponsorship and future sites
UL, an American safety organization historically known as Underwriters Laboratories, was announced as the title sponsor for 2016 and 2018.

Hanwha Group, a large South Korean business conglomerate, was announced as the title sponsor for the 2023 event.

title: Robust geometric computation

text:
In mathematics, specifically in computational geometry, geometric nonrobustness is a problem wherein branching decisions in computational geometry algorithms are based on approximate numerical computations, leading to various forms of unreliability including ill-formed output and software failure through crashing or infinite loops.

For instance, algorithms for problems like the construction of a convex hull rely on testing whether certain "numerical predicates" have values that are positive, negative, or zero. If an inexact floating-point computation causes a value that is near zero to have a different sign than its exact value, the resulting inconsistencies can propagate through the algorithm causing it to produce output that is far from the correct output, or even to crash.

One method for avoiding this problem involves using integers rather than floating point numbers for all coordinates and other quantities represented by the algorithm, and determining the precision required for all calculations to avoid integer overflow conditions. For instance, two-dimensional convex hulls can be computed using predicates that test the sign of quadratic polynomials, and therefore may require twice as many bits of precision within these calculations as the input numbers. When integer arithmetic cannot be used (for instance, when the result of a calculation is an algebraic number rather than an integer or rational number), a second method is to use symbolic algebra to perform all computations with exactly represented algebraic numbers rather than numerical approximations to them. A third method, sometimes called a "floating point filter", is to compute numerical predicates first using an inexact method based on floating-point arithmetic, but to maintain bounds on how accurate the result is, and repeat the calculation using slower symbolic algebra methods or numerically with additional precision when these bounds do not separate the calculated value from zero.

title: Australian Biathlon Association

text:
Biathlon Australia (formerly Australian Biathlon Association) is the national governing body that oversees the Winter Olympic sport of Biathlon in Australia, in both its winter and summer forms. It is affiliated with the International Biathlon Union and the Australian Olympic Committee. It is based at Mount Hotham, in Victoria, Australia.

History and general information
The Australian Biathlon Association began in the 1970s as the North East Victoria Biathlon Association, it has remained the national governing body for the sport of biathlon in Australia, evolving to become the Victorian Biathlon Association, then the Australian/Victorian Biathlon Association in the early 1980s, and is now the Australian Biathlon Association, reflecting its membership base and unitary model of governance.

Australia first sent a participant to the Winter Olympic Games at Sarajevo in 1984 (Andrew Paul, VIC) and the first woman biathlete Olympian was Kerryn Rim (NE VIC), Australia's highest-placed Olympic performer, finishing 8th in Women 15 km Individual (Distance) race in 1994. In 2006, Cameron Morton represented Australia at the Torino (ITA) Winter Olympic Games, in 2010, Alex Almoukouv represented Australia at Vancouver(CAN) Winter Olympic Games and in 2014 at Sochi (RUS), the representatives were Alex Almoukouv and Lucy Glanville.

In 2016–2017, the ABA undertook the largest redevelopment of the Whiskey Flat range at Mount Hotham, to allow 15 lanes of participants at one time. The 15 lanes were ready for the 2017 Australian Winter season of biathlon, and at the Australian Biathlon Championships in August 2017, the range was officially named the Hotham Biathlon Arena, by Ms Danielle Green former MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria and Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism and Major Events. Biathlon upgrade to facilities was also undertaken in 2017 at SSAA Range in Wodonga and further upgrades to facilities have more recently taken place in NSW at the Perisher Laser Biathlon Range, the Anzac Rifle Range and Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Centre. These projects are part of the Victorian Government Shooting Sports Facilities Program and the NSW Government's Community Facilities upgrade projects. The upgrade to the Perisher Laser Range was funded by SportAUS.

Biathlon Australia together with a range of biathlon organisations in NSW, Victoria, ACT and QLD, are responsible for the development of biathlon at all levels in Australia, from grass roots to elite to Masters/Veterans. These activities range from laser biathlon for Under 12's to sending athletes to International Biathlon Union events during the IBU winter season, plus developing coaches through attendance at the IBU Coach Seminars each year, along with sending developing athletes and coaches to specialist IBU Development Camps each year.

Structure
The Australian Biathlon Association has operates as a one member one vote organisation, regardless of state/territory of residence. There are several regional branches and Clubs around Australia, made up of members resident in the area. In other states, there are recognised State Sporting Organisations, most notably in ACT and NSW. In 2022, the various biathlon organisations in Australia are embarking on a unification journey which is aimed to result in a one sport/one management membership and sport structure.

State firearms legislation drive much of the summer training and events for biathlon which leads up to peak State and ABA events at the Hotham Biathlon Arena in winter each year.  There is an increasing participation in summer biathlon events across Australia including the Hotham Biathlon Arena (VIC), Canberra Rifle Club (ACT), SSAA Wodonga (VIC), Anzac Rifle Range (NSW).

title: Bobsleigh and Skeleton Australia

text:
Bobsleigh Skeleton Australia is the governing body for the sports of bobsleigh and skeleton in Australia.

History

Australians have been active in ice sliding sports since the early days. Australian student George Pringle Robertson came equal first in the first international toboggan race held in Davos, Switzerland in 1883. During the 1930s Australian Frederick McEvoy competed with the Great Britain team in bobsleigh to win several Olympic and World Championship medals.

This early success wavered after World War Two. When Australians started traveling to Europe in the early 1970s some thrill-seekers were exposed to the sports of bobsleigh and skeleton. Leading the way for the new wave of Australians becoming interested in the sport was Philip Morgan Giles. Morgan Giles piloted the first Australian team to compete at an FIBT world championship in 2-man bobsleigh in 1974.

The Australian Bobsleigh Federation was established in 1985. This allowed Australia to become a recognised member of the Federation de Internationale Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing (FIBT). This paved the way forward for Australian teams to compete in FIBT races and compete at the Olympic Games.

Australia has sent 8 Skeleton athletes and 29 Bobsleigh athletes to 8 Winter Olympic Games.

Bobsleigh and Skeleton Australia was established in 2013 to govern the sports of bobsleigh and skeleton within Australia. It is the recognised governing body for bobsleigh and skeleton for Australia with the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation.

title: Sport Climbing Australia

text:
Sport Climbing Australia is the governing body for competition climbing, including competition lead climbing, competition speed climbing, and competition bouldering in Australia.

History
The body was founded in 2004 as an amalgamation of the Australian Sport Climbing Federation and the Australian Climbing Gyms Association.  Both bodies had previously designated themselves as the National Sport Organisation for sport climbing in Australia, without any official recognition.  As the Australian Sports Commission requires sports to have a single governing body to be officially recognised, the two bodies put their differences aside in the greater interests of the sport.

Structure
The national body has currently four state member associations: Sport Climbing Victoria, Sport Climbing Queensland, Sport Climbing Tasmania and Sport Climbing NSW/ACT.
Competition Sport Climbing South Australia and Sport Climbing Western Australia are pending membership.
