title: Francisco Piria

text:
Fernando Juan Santiago Francisco María Piria de Grossi (Montevideo, 21 August 1847 - 11 December 1933) was a Uruguayan inventor, alchemist, writer, politician and businessman of Italian descent. He was notable for establishing the city and seaside resort known as Piriápolis.

Background
Piria was a son of Genoese immigrants Lorenzo Piria and Serafina de Grossi. The premature death of his father caused his mother to send him to study in Italy. Back to Uruguay, under the supervision of his uncle, he received the best training of the time in humanities and sciences. Later he opened a workshop where he sold ready-to-wear clothing on the corner of Treinta y Tres and Rincón streets. Endowed with an exceptional business acumen, which was not lagging behind his advertising inventiveness, he bought thousands of yards of thick fabric and had a kind of long capes made, which he named Rémington.

Piriápolis
Francisco Piria was in charge of creating the first seaside resort town in Uruguay. In 1890 he bought 2700 hectares of land, an extension that stretched from Sugar Loaf Mountain to the sea, and in 1905 he built the first Grand Hotel, called Hotel Piriápolis (today, Colonia Escolar de Vacaciones). In 1910 he began the construction of the promenade, where he was inspired by his trips to Europe, more precisely to the French Riviera. In 1912, the first auction of lots in Piriápolis was held and, from then on, the city began to grow with the construction of numerous villas. He also made a big house called the Piria Castle which also has a reproduction in Buenos Aires.

Legacy
Shortly after the grand opening, Francisco Piria died on December 11, 1933, but, as Loreley Lazo, a contemporary national poet closely linked to this hotel, said, "Piria can be found in everything his iron will created. He was a man who had a dream, made it real and lives in it". Part of Francisco Piria's legacy was documented in the feature film Ciudadano Piria, released in 2014. Francisco Piria died at the age of 86 at his home in Montevideo, suffering from pulmonary congestion, complicated by diabetes, uremia and heart weakness.

title: List of oil and gas fields of the Barents Sea

text:
This list of oil and gas field of the Barents Sea contains links to the major oil and gas fields beneath the Barents Sea.  The Barents Sea is bordered by the north Norwegian and Russian coasts, the Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land and Svalbard archipelagos, and the eastern margin of the Norwegian Sea.

In terms of hydrocarbon exploration, the area is divided into the Russian side on the East and the Norwegian side on the West, with the two also showing quite different petroleum geology.  The Russian side contains a number of very large gas fields contained in Upper Jurassic sandstone reservoirs, bounded by anticline structures, whereas the Norwegian side contains much smaller Middle-Lower Jurassic sandstone reservoirs bounded by fault blocks.  Some of the largest discoveries were made in the 1980s but have still not been brought into production because of a combination of the extreme conditions, political instability and the historical low price of gas.

List of fields

Norway
Snøhvit field - The first offshore field to be brought into production in the Barents Sea, includes Snøhvit, Askeladd and Albatross discoveries.
Johan Castberg field - Formerly Skrugard-Havis field.
Goliat field - First oil field to be discovered in the Norwegian side of the Barents Sea.

Russia

title: KiHa 59 series

text:
The  is a diesel multiple unit train type operated by Japanese National Railways and then later operated by JR Hokkaido, JR West, and JR East between 1985 and 2010, and by the Philippine National Railways (PNR) on the Metro South Commuter and Isarog Express lines since 2012. It is a reconditioned diesel train remodeled from aging JNR-Era rolling stocks converted from KiHa 56, 28 & 58 units for conversion into chartered-type trains across Japan.

History

JR Hokkaido

In December 1985, KiHa 59 was remodeled from KiHa 26 and KiHa 56 cars at the Naebo plant in Sapporo, Japan. It was the last resort train to be introduced by the Japanese National Railways which was privatized to be separated and destined to JR Hokkaido in Hokkaido region. The train was initially called "Alpha Continental Express" and started operating on the Ishikatsu Line as a chartered tourist train. It attracted widespread attention due to its design and facilities, and was operated as a group chartered train, and been offered temporary limited express trains all over the country against the backdrop of the resort boom before and after the era.

The Alpha Continental Express was nicknamed as "Alcon" which they only used when contracted transportation with both Tomamu and Sahoro resorts, and they also offer other services used such as "Resort Express", "Peppermint Express", and "JTB Panorama Express".

Although it was popular during that time, they also encountered different problems which became apparent when the newer rolling stocks introduced. The maximum speed was limited to 95 km/h, which made it difficult to adapt to the timetables of newer JR Hokkaido express trains, which they are struggled to perform on the lines to be arrived and depart on-time.

It has been used for nearly 10 years since the conversion and nearly 30 years since being manufactured in the 1960s. It was withdrawn in 1995.

Formations
The Alpha Continental Express trainset was formed as follows (1985 – 1995). They also offered in different train services in Hokkaido region such as "Resort Express", "Peppermint Express", but not "JTB Panorama Express" which they add one carriage in 1986, resulting in a four-car formation.

They also operated the special train service called "JTB Panorama Express" trainset which was formed as follows (1986-1995).

JR East

The three-car train was converted in November 1989 at JR East's Koriyama Works from former KiHa 58 and KiHa 28 diesel cars to become the KiHa 59 series Gracia Joyful Train set for use on special charter services in the Sendai area and north east of Japan. The train was withdrawn in May 2003 and rebuilt to become the Kogane trainset, repainted in a white, gold, and orange livery and re-entering service from July 2003.

The Kogane trainset was withdrawn from service on 26 December 2010, and was subsequently shipped to the Philippines.

Formations
The Gracia trainset was formed as follows (1989 to May 2003).

The Kogane trainset was formed as follows (July 2003 - December 2010).

JR West

JR West introduced their "VIVA West"  Joyful Train service in 1989.

It was formed at JR West Hiroshima works after "Resort Saloon Fiesta" train services in 1989 by remodeling former KiHa 28 and 58 series cars. The remodeling work was carried out at the Habu rolling stock plant (now the Shimonoseki General Rolling Stock Office).

It was also temporarily used as a passenger train for short train services, and ended operation after nearly ten years and was scrapped in March 1999.

Formations
The Viva West trainset was formed as follows (1989 – 1999).

Operations in the Philippine National Railways

In its operations under the Philippine National Railways, it served as an intercity train and premiere train, but its windshields had to be armored with steel mesh to prevent the glass from being pelted by train stoners. The unit underwent general renovation and overhaul in 2019. The armoring was later removed when the livery was updated to match the newly arrived PT-INKA livery, along with the updating of the windshields into more durable polycarbonate panels.

On 20 September 2019, the PNR Kogane trainset was used on test run and clearing operations on the Calamba-Los Baños section of the PNR Metro Commuter Line. Kogane also went to Legazpi for the inspection of the PNR South Main Line together with 917 prior to the PNR South Long Haul project.

Formations
The Kogane trainset in service with Philippine National Railways is formed as follows.

Incidents
 In February 2020, a window in the Kogane trainset shattered due to a stoning incident.

title: Scott Pinsker

text:
Scott Pinsker is an American filmmaker, talk-show host, author and celebrity publicist.  He has written for Foxnews.com, The Washington Times, Breitbart, Jewish World Review, and Bulldog Reporter.  He was the creator and executive producer of National Lampoon's Strip Poker in 2005, and also appeared in Academy Award-nominated director Brett Morgen's political film Ollie's Army and the Academy Award-nominated documentary A Perfect Candidate.

His novel, The Second Coming: A Love Story, was released in June 2014.

Early life and education
Pinsker was a College Republican leader at James Madison University in the 1990s.  His exploits, which included a "hostile takeover" of the rival political organization Clean Up Congress, was memorably showcased in director Brett Morgen's film, Ollie's Army.

Career
After graduating from George Mason University School of Law, Pinsker hosted The Stretch for WTMA radio in Charleston, South Carolina, from 2000 to 2001. Among his radio highlights was Charleston City Councilman Kawadjo Campbell announcing that he was leaving the Democratic Party. Councilman Campbell formally switched to the Republican Party shortly thereafter, becoming one of just a small number of African American elected officials in the GOP.

Pinsker moved to Tampa Bay, Florida in 2003 and launched a career in public relations. He quickly began representing a number of professional poker players, just as the sport was experiencing a cultural revival.  Included among the players he worked closely with was Phil Gordon, who was the host of NBC/Bravo Network's Celebrity Poker Showdown. At a celebrity poker tournaments in Houston, Texas, which took place in conjunction with Super Bowl XXXVIII and included such celebrity participants as pro players Phil Gordon, Phil Hellmuth, Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson, as well as celebs Marcus Allen, Clyde Drexler, Yanni, Jerome Bettis, Eddie George, and Kato Kaelin, Pinsker decided to make a poker comedy, but to use "real" poker action instead of scripted reenactments. Kaelin was employed by National Lampoon at the time and introduced Pinsker to National Lampoon executives. Soon, a deal was struck.

National Lampoon's Strip Poker was filmed at the Hedonism II nudist resort in Negril, Jamaica, and featured models, actresses, and reality TV stars in a No Limit Texas Hold 'Em poker tournament.  Pro Poker Hall of Famer Barbara Enright served as the poker coach.  The film aired on DirecTV and InDemand Pay Per View in 2005, and is noted for featuring one of the first film appearances of Olivia Munn, who is credited as Lisa Munn.

Pinsker took a hiatus from filmmaking and was the publicist for a number of athletes, celebrities and business leaders, including Michael Vick and HSN home shopping host and infomercial guru Bob Circosta. He started writing for numerous business publications as a marketing expert and commentating on TV and radio. He also wrote for numerous business publications as a marketing expert.

Following the presidential election of 2012, Pinsker's marketing analysis of Mitt Romney's missteps was sent to a FOX News Channel producer. His analysis was broken into two parts and published on Foxnews.com. His most controversial Foxnews.com column was a theoretical speech he ghostwrote for the National Rifle Association of America's Wayne LaPierre. The column was discussed widely on talk radio and online message board, receiving over 4,000 "likes" on Facebook.

Literary
In June 2014, Pinsker published his debut novel, The Second Coming: A Love Story. He explained in a June 16 interview with Rob McConnell of the 'X' Zone Radio Network that he'd been working on the story for 15 years. Described as a "theological thriller," Pinsker claims it's the first book ever written about the apocalyptic "End Days" battle between God and Satan, as foretold in Christian eschatology a la the Left Behind stories, but from a marketing perspective. His hypothesis is that a theologian can explain the beliefs of Jesus, but it takes a marketer to explain the actions of Satan.

title: Fyodor Batyushkov

text:
Fyodor Dmitrievich Batyushkov (Фёдор Дмитриевич Батюшков, September 7 [o.s. August 26], 1857, Kosma village, Tver Governorate, Russian Empire – March 19, 1920, Petrograd, Soviet Russia) was a Russian philologist, editor (Kosmopolis, 1897–1898; Mir Bozhy, 1902–1906), literary critic, theatre and literary historian.

title: Mukhalinga

text:
In Hindu iconography, Mukhalinga or Mukhalingam (literally "linga with a face", ) is a linga with one or more human faces. The linga is an aniconic representation of the Hindu god Shiva. Mukhalingas may be of stone or can be made of a metal sheath, which covers the normal linga.

The mukhalinga generally has one, four or five faces. Mukhalingas having four faces are also regarded to have an invisible fifth face at the top of the linga. The four- and five-faced mukhalingas represent the five aspects of Shiva, which also relate to the classical elements and the cardinal directions.

The omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient God Siva for facilitating the individual souls to worship him has manifested himself into different forms. Among them the formless form of Sivalinga is classified as "Nishkala". And the Shivalingas with the head of Shiva on their face are called as Mukhalinga and are classified as "Sakala nishkala" form.

Iconography of stone Mukhalingas in texts
The iconography and making of the mukhalinga is prescribed in the Agamas and the Tantras. These sculptured lingas fall under the classification of manusha-linga ("man-made lingas"), the other category being Swayambhu or naturally occurring lingas. A manusha-linga has three parts: the Brahma-bhaga, the lowest part of the linga which is a square platform; Vishnu-bhaga - the middle section of the linga with a pedestal or pitha and Rudra-bhaga, the topmost part of the central shaft with a rounded tip. Mukhalinga should be sarvasama ("all-equal"), where the three parts are equal. On the topmost rudra-bhaga or puja-bhaga, one face and a maximum of five faces may be carved. If the sanctum (garbhagriha) has only one door, then the linga should have only one face on the front (the east), facing the door. In case of two doors, it should have two faces - front and back - facing the doors in the east and the west. In case of three doors, the linga should have three faces, except in the west. When the shrine has four doors, the linga may have four or five faces. The four faces should face the doors in the four cardinal directions; in addition if a fifth face exists, it should be carved on the top and face the front, the east. When mukhalinga is four-faced, instead of only faces, the busts of the deities are carved on the four side; each having two arms.

The stone mukhalingas may be depicted comprising just of the central shaft, but may be part of the full assemble, where the shaft is embedded in the pitha pedestal, denoting the yoni, the feminine counterpart.

Mukhalingas as metal sheaths

A normal linga may be converted into a mukhalinga by covering with a kavacha ("armour"), a metal (generally gold) covering carved in the shape of the head of Shiva. It has displays the third eye of Shiva on the forehead, the crescent moon over his head and a crown. The covering or sheath is also known as a kosha or linga-kosha, and can be called of metal alloys, gold or silver or copper. Another form of cover is carved in shape of a linga, with a rounded top, with four faces carved on four sides.

One-faced Mukhalinga
The one-faced mukhalinga is called eka-mukhalinga, "linga with a single face". The face is created in high relief. He wears his hair piled on his head like a bun, while longer hair flow over his shoulders. He may also wear earrings and a necklace and have the crescent moon on his head and the third eye on the forehead. The faces of Shiva are carved generally from the ear onwards, emerging from the linga.

Four/Five-faced Mukhalinga

The five-faced mukhalinga is called pancha-mukhalinga. The five faces relate Shiva to the classical elements, the directions, the five senses and five parts of the body. These represent Shiva's five aspects: Sadyojata, Vamadeva, Aghora, Tatpurusha and Ishana. A four-faced linga is said also to represent the five aspects of Shiva, the fifth aspect is center, the shaft itself or is assumed to be emerging from the top of the shaft and denotes the formless Absolute. Thus, a four-faced mukhalinga can be also called a pancha-mukhalinga ("linga with five faces" of Shiva). These four-faced lingas are the most commonly found mukhalingas.

The 13th Century A.D. pancha mukha sivalinga is in Kalahasti, Andhra Pradesh.The fifth face would not be shown to highlight the Nishkala character of Sivalinga.

The top face is known as Ishana or Sadashiva, who is rarely depicted and governs zenith and the sky (Akasha). The east face is Sadyojata or Mahadeva, the regent of the earth (Prithvi). The west face is Tatpurusha or Nandi (Shiva's bull mount) or Nandivaktra (the face of Nandi), denoting the wind, Vayu. While Vamadeva or Uma (Parvati, Shiva's consort) or Umavaktra (the face of Parvati) or Tamreshvara (water, Ap) faces north, Aghora or Bhairava looks south (fire, Agni). In some texts, the east face is called Tatpurusha and the western one Sadyojata. The icon of the five aspects represents the entire universe.

In Nepal, the four aspects have similar faces. They wear similar crowns and hairstyles and have Shiva's third eye. Mahadeva may have a moustache and has matted hair piled up on his head. Nandi bears on the forehead the sectarian mark (tilaka) of the Shaivas (worshippers of Shiva) and floral earrings. The face of Uma also bears the Shaiva mark and depicts Shiva as Ardhanarishvara, the composite androgynous form of Shiva and Parvati. The right half is the male Shiva with a moustache, while the left half is the female Parvati; the eyes, the lips, the earrings (a serpent and floral earring) as well as the sides of the crown may differ in the halves. Bhairava, the terrible form of Shiva, is generally depicted angry; however may have a gentler expression. He wears serpent-earrings or asymmetrical earrings and has curled hair. All of them are depicted with two hands, carrying an akshamala (rosary) in the right and a water pot in the left. The rosary-bearing hand is held in abhayamudra, gesture of assurance. The rosary signifies Death or Time, while the water-pot stands for its antithesis, amrita, the elixir of life. The hands indicates that Shiva will lead his devotees to moksha, emancipation.

Eight faced shivalinga is located at Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh) along the banks of River Shivana locally known as "Ashtamukhi Pashupatinath" which is claimed to be unique in terms of its sculpture. The eight faces carved on the lingam exhibit eight moods / facial expressions facing the four directions, two each in one direction placed one above the other.

Evolution
Mukhalingas are found throughout India and Nepal. They also appear in the former Champa kingdom, presently in Vietnam as well as Cambodia and Borneo in the south east Asia and Afghanistan to the west of India. One of earliest specimen of a mukhalinga is a five-faced one in Bhita, which is dated to second century BCE.

Alain Daniélou says that mukhalingas of Shiva resemble similar depictions of phalluses with carved faces from Greece and those from Celtic Europe. He also notes the phalluses with full human figures are also found in France and India, citing the second-century Gudimallam Lingam as an early example.

title: 2001 Pitcairnese tourism referendum

text:
A referendum on tourism development was held in the Pitcairn Islands in March 2001. The proposals put forward by Wellesley Pacific were approved by 78% of voters.

Background
A referendum was held in 1981 on the subject of building an airfield for the island. Although it was approved by 90% of voters, construction had proved too expensive.

Wellesley Pacific proposed the construction of a 30-bed hotel and an international airport on Oeno Island, with regular flights to Tahiti and New Zealand. A second airport would be built on Pitcairn island with two lodges, whilst Bounty Bay would be modified to allow boats to land. A processing plant would also be built to allow the development of a fishing industry. The company demanded exclusive rights to develop the islands, but said it would give 10% of profits to island residents. However, environmentalists raised concerns about the potential effects on the islands' unique plant and animal life.

title: LEWA

text:
LEWA is a manufacturer of diaphragm metering pumps, process pumps as well as customized metering systems and production units. The company has developed from a pure technology provider to a solution provider over the last years. LEWA systems are in use in oil & gas and chemical industry.

The headquarters of the company are located in Leonberg (Stuttgart Metropolitan Region) in the south of Germany. LEWA has 16 subsidiaries and over 80 sales partners on all continents.

LEWA-Nikkiso America, Inc., which has its head office in Holliston, Massachusetts, and LEWA Process Technologies, Inc., which has its office in Devens, Massachusetts, are American subsidiaries of the LEWA Group.

In 2013, LEWA generated a turnover of 218 million euro with more than 1,070 employees worldwide.

History

The company was founded in 1952 as "Ingenieurbüro LEWA" ("Engineering Office LEWA") by the two engineers Herbert Ott and Rudolf Schestag. LEWA stands for Leonberger Wasseraufbereitung (water conditioning in Leonberg). In 1954, LEWA applied for a patent for the rocker arm pump. In 1955, the company participated in Achema, an exhibition in Frankfurt am Main, for the first time.

In 1961, a research group was established, which promoted research and development of LEWA's pumps. LEWA applied for a patent for the sandwich diaphragm for diaphragm pumps in 1968. Since 1971, the company also has developed complete metering systems and production units.

With the death of Herbert Ott in 1999, LEWA's long tradition as a family-owned business ended. In 2003, the diaphragm pump LEWA ecoflow came into the market, which has been a major support to the company's income since then.

In 2006, the investment company "Deutsche Beteiligungs AG" acquired LEWA. However, since 2009, LEWA is part of the Japanese corporation Nikkiso.

Nikkiso is market leader in Japan in the water conditioning of nuclear and thermal power plants, it supplies various pumps and flaps for the thrust reversal in jet aircraft. Worldwide, Nikkiso is the third largest provider of mobile hemodialysis machines.

In 2011, LEWA developed a system for process chromatography.

On January 1, 2013, long-standing CEO of LEWA, Bernd M. Stütz, has passed off his position to Naota Shikano.

LEWA today

Customers of LEWA come from the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, plastics, energy utilities, pharma, biotech, personal care, cleaning and detergent industries.

title: Schönhorst (Schönkirchen)

text:
Schönhorst is a local center within the municipality Schönkirchen in the district of Plön, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

History
The exact year of the foundation of the village is unknown. It was first mentioned as part of a conveyance of property of the village and the manor of Schönhorst in 1515 to Frederick I of Denmark Yet he sold the village shortly after. The family Gadendorp owned the village in 1543. Christopher Gadendorp co-founded the Große Brand- und Kirchengilde (the Great Fire and Church Guild) in 1560, a guild to help share the burden of Gadendorp’s subjects among the guild’s members in case of a fire.

Both village and manor of Schönhorst were sold to the lord of the manor of Oppendorf in 1616. Schönhorst remained a part of the municipality of Oppendorf until April 1, 1970 when Schönhorst officially became a part of the municipality of Schönkirchen.

The Knochenbruchsgilde für Schönhorst und Umgebung (the Fracture Guild of Schönhorst and Surrounding Areas), a guild that supports its members in case of occupational bone fractures and which still exists today, was founded in 1853.

The structure of the village had not changed over the centuries until 1929 when the lease contract for the manor was discontinued. Most of the land was sold to a land settlement society which subdivided the area of the manor in settlers’ holdings of 37-49 acres each.

Flak-tower
To protect the naval port of Kiel during World War II, an AA gun emplacement with bunkers and barracks was built in Schönhorst; however, the residents had no access to these constructions. Because of this AA gun emplacement, Schönhorst was heavily bombarded with 87 direct hits within 39 acres. The AA gun emplacement was blown up on June 22 of 1945.

After the war, the barracks were used to accommodate expellees and were demolished in the 1950s. In contrast to the majority of villages and towns within Germany, no housing estates were established in Schönhorst, so that all expellees settled in different places.

title: Edwin Dyke

text:
Edwin Francis Dyke (27 September 1842 – 26 August 1919) was an English clergyman and cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University in 1864 and 1865 and for Marylebone Cricket Club in 1866. He was born in London and died at Maidstone, Kent.

As a cricketer, Dyke was a right-handed lower-order batsman and a left-arm medium pace bowler. It was as a bowler that he made an immediate impression in his only first-class match of 1864: he took 10 Marylebone Cricket Club wickets for 41 runs in the game, including 6 for 14 in the second innings. He was unable to repeat this success in four first-class games for Cambridge in 1865: these included the University match against Oxford University in which he took a single wicket and failed to score in either innings. His single game for MCC in 1866 was his most successful with the bat, with a score of 46 in the second innings.

Family and career
Dyke came from a cricketing family: his uncle was Herbert Jenner who captained Cambridge in the first official University match, and the long-lived Herbert Jenner-Fust was a cousin, as was Charles Nepean. He was educated at Eton College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.

After graduation, Dyke was ordained in the Church of England; he was a curate at Crayford and West Wickham and then vicar at Orpington before moving to Maidstone from 1883 to 1896. From 1896 to 1916 he was rector of Mersham in Kent and he was an honorary canon of Canterbury Cathedral from 1892 to his death in 1919.

title: Protorthodes curtica

text:
Protorthodes curtica is a moth in the family Noctuidae first described by Smith in 1890. It is found in North America from the interior of southern British Columbia southward in the West Coast states, mainly to the east of the Cascades and Coastal ranges, to southern California. It occurs in the Rocky Mountains in Idaho and Montana and in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada. The habitat consists of dry forested areas.

The length of the forewings is 12–16 mm. The forewings have a dark reddish tint and a pale, curved subterminal line that follows the wing margin. There is an even band of dark shading along the inner edge of the subterminal line and the reniform is faintly outlined by a pale line. Adults are on wing from late June to mid-October.

The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants, including Asteraceae (including Ericameria species), Scrophulariaceae and Rosaceae and species.

The Porter School of Environment Studies was established in 2000 by Dame Shirley Porter and her late husband Sir Leslie Porter, then Chancellor of Tel Aviv University, through the Porter Foundation.

PSES building
Back in 2001, Dame Shirley Porter envisioned the construction of an energy efficient ecobuilding, housing conferences, lectures and research all under one roof.

Sustainability was a vital factor in the planning of the new building, with the new building implementing many environmental technologies. These technologies include photovoltaic power and solar collectors to produce energy, waste water recycling, natural ventilation, bioclimatic design and the use of recycled and environmentally friendly building materials.

The Porter School of Environment and Earth Sciences was designed to be the first building in Israel to achieve LEED Platinum status, the highest standard of the US Green Building Council. In addition it was also planned to be the first building in Israel to be awarded Diamond level certification according to Israel's Green Building Standard (IS 52810)

After an inauguration ceremony on 21 May 2014, The Porter School of Environment and Earth Sciences relocated to its present premises in the ecobuilding.

Academic subjects
The Porter School of Environment and Earth Sciences teaches a number of Master’s Programs, a PhD program and new undergraduate programs; as well as an international MA program in Environmental Studies.

The core academic studies at The Porter School of Environment and Earth Sciences have been designed to provide students with a multidisciplinary understanding into environmental issues and how they affect Israel and the surrounding region, with emphasis on Israel's unique geographic and geopolitical position. Courses focus on issues facing the Middle East including the importance of water to the region, sustainability and how climate change is affecting the entire region.

Regional cooperation
The Porter School of Environment and Earth Sciences regards regional cooperation as a necessity to maintaining environmental sustainability and in helping to prevent the spread of infectious disease, limiting the damaging effects of climate change and protecting the region's scarce water supplies. Many of the programs and projects run by the school include international cooperation.

title: Versus You

text:
Versus You is a four-piece punk rock, pop-punk band from Luxembourg, founded in 2005 by Eric Rosenfeld and Giordano Bruno. In 2014, Le Quotidien described the band, with its nearly 10-year history, as an "institution in the Luxembourg rock scene" ("une institution de la scène rock locale"). The band has released four full albums plus a split album with White Flag and toured internationally.

History

The beginning and Marathon (2006)
Versus You is a four-piece punk rock band from Luxembourg that was brought to life by Eric Rosenfeld and Giordano Bruno in 2005. Long-time friends, both musicians had played in a couple of bands together and it didn't take Eric, who had a bag of songs written already, a long time to convince Giordano to join his new band on bass guitar. A few weeks later they welcomed Pit Romersa on drums, who would record their first record 'Marathon' (released in 2006 by Fond Of Life Records) with them and later leave Versus You because of his main project called Eternal Tango.

This Is The Sinking and first Tour (2008)
Drummer number two, Mike Lahier joined them shortly after and recorded a second album with the band. Although the record is entitled 'This Is The Sinking' (released by Winged Skull Records in 2008), it brought people's attention to the band. Their song 'The Hotel Room' was on top of the national charts in heavy rotation. More than 900 people showed up at the release party of the album. Versus You also played at the Rock-A-Field Festival in Roeser that year.

After a first tour through Germany, Belgium, Holland and Italy, Jimmy Leen, who would later become a second songwriter for Versus You, joined the band on guitar and opening shows for No Use For A Name and the Flatliners, with whom they became fast friends, followed. At the last Flatliners gig, Mike Lahier and Versus You parted ways due to personal differences.

Aloyse Weyler joined Versus You right on time for their first tour through Eastern Europe and Russia, shows with NOFX, Propagandhi, Only Crime, White Flag and Bayside were played.

The Mad Ones (2009) and Levitate the Listener (2011)
Their third album which they recorded live with Charel Stoltz right after they came home from tour. This proves how Versus You never really take a break. The album was entitled 'The Mad Ones' (released by Granny Records in collaboration with Fond Of Life Records in 2009), a title that revealed Eric's inspiration by writer Jack Kerouac and still remains a perfect description for the band. After a second tour through Eastern Europe and Russia and countless shows (among them Rock-A-Field again), Aloyse too leaves Versus You without a drummer.

A new drummer was found with Jerry Kirpach, who had been a friend of the band and promised to break Versus You's curse and stay with them. Versus You recorded a new single called 'This War Is Like A Drug To You!' and six more songs for a split record with White Flag. That year shows with Alkaline Trio, Strike Anywhere, Dead To Me, Dear Landlord and Star Fucking Hipsters followed. 'Levitate The Listener' (released by Long Beach Records in collaboration with G Chord Records) came out 2011.

After a huge number of shows for their quite short existence, three albums, an EP and a split record, Versus You still doesn't show any sign of slowing down any time soon.

In 2011 they shared the stage with bands like Adolescents, Mike Herrera from MXPX, Dead To Me, The Casualties, Rise Against and went on a European Tour with White Flag.

In 2012 Versus You were selected out of more than 500 bands to play the Groezrock Festival. They also recorded a new single entitled 'Happy Yet?!' with long-time producer Charel Stoltz and went to Sweden to record with producer Chips Kiesbye, who has already worked with Millencolin and The Hellacopters among others, their fourth album.

In early 2013, Jimmy left the band to focus completely on his new project named Fox. He was replaced by Giordano’s younger brother Dario Bruno who previously played in bands such as Extinct, Nervous Chillin and also The Last Millennium Suckers. Shows with Strung Out, Black Flag, The Manix and Jimmy Eat World followed.

Moving On (2014)
The latest Album entitled 'Moving On' (released by Flix Records in collaboration with G Chord Records and Noiseworks Records) was released on 14 February 2014.

The song 'Be Better Than Me', in which the Swedish singer Hannah Smallbone takes care of the female vocal part was at the beginning of 2014 in the Top 50 of the Luxembourg iTunes charts and made it to #1 on the iTunes Rock Charts Luxembourg. On February 15. 2014, the release party for the fourth album 'Moving On', recorded 2012 in the 'Music-A-Matic Recording Studios' in Gothenburg, Sweden with producer Chips Kiesbye and mixed and mastered by Henryk Lipp was celebrated at Den Atelier in Luxembourg City, The artwork of 'Moving On', as well as for the album 'Marathon' and the split album 'Levitate The Listener' was designed by Kim "The Butcher" Schreiner.

In 2014, Versus You toured Germany, Austria and the UK in support of 'Moving On'.

In 2015 they were selected to play at the Eurosonic Festival in Groningen in the Netherlands. Another UK tour followed from the 3. to 11. April 2015 and they were one of the first bands to be selected for the Punk Rock Holiday Festival in Tolmin in Slovenia in the summer of 2015.

On May 10. 2015 Versus You published on YouTube the song "Go Ahead and Cry" a cover of Sky Saxon & The Electra-Fires. The song was recorded a few years ago for a Sky Saxon tribute album that never appeared. Bill Bartell aka Pat Fear of White Flag was the initiator of this tribute album, but died on 24. September 2013.

title: I Am Eleven

text:
I Am Eleven is a 2011 Australian documentary film by Genevieve Bailey and Henrik Nordstrom, who travelled through 15 countries over a period of six years to explore the lives of 11-year-olds in different environments. The countries that the children are from include Thailand, England, India, France, Australia, Sweden, Morocco, Japan and the Czech Republic. The film has been compared with the 7 Up documentary series and won awards in the USA, Australia, Brazil, France and Spain.

The film premiered at the 2011 Melbourne International Film Festival.

Background
Following the completion of a Bachelor of Creative Arts Honours from the Victorian College of the Arts at Melbourne University in 2003, Bailey completed a series of short films, music videos and a video installation, while also tutoring at Melbourne University and Deakin University.

As of 2017, Bailey had made over 40 films, many of which are collaborations with fellow Australian filmmaker Jarrah Gurrie, many of which have screened internationally and won over 30 awards.

Production
At the time that the film was conceived, Bailey was in a difficult period of her life and was creatively inspired by a particularly memorable time during her childhood years:

I was going through a difficult time, being in a serious car accident and my body was not feeling very happy, and my dad passed away. I wanted to make something quite simply that would make me happy and make audiences happy … I thought back to my favourite age in life and that was when I was eleven and I thought I wondered what would it be like to be eleven today.

Bailey explained in 2014 that she commenced shooting the film without any funding: “I’d run out of money, come back and work two or three jobs to save up the money for another ticket. I was doing that every year ... It was like having an addiction.” Nearing the completion of the production, Bailey turned down funding that was offered by a Victoria, Australia organisation, as she was not comfortable with handing over the ownership of the film to the funding body: "We (Henrik Nordstrom and I) weren’t very comfortable with that given the amount of time, energy and money we’d invested."

Participants
The eleven-year-olds were:

Jitter - India
Goh - Thailand
Siham - Morocco
Giorgio - Bulgaria
Jack - Thailand
Remi - France
Billy - England
Obey - England
Oliver - USA
Jamira - Australia
Remya - India
Rika - Japan
Vandana - India
Priya - India
Dagan - USA
Sree Kuti - India
Sam - The Netherlands
Sahin - Sweden
Ginisha - India
Luca - Germany
Fang - China
Osama - Sweden
Kim - USA
Grace - Czechia
Sharif - England

Release
The global premiere of I Am Eleven occurred at the 2011 Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), where the film also received the People's Choice Award. Following its official release in July 2012, the documentary was screened at 22 cinemas around Australia, from 2012 to 2013, and played for a record breaking 26 weeks at Melbourne, Australia’s Cinema Nova venue. The film was featured as part of the 2014 Portland Children's Film Festival that was held in early April in the American city of Portland, Maine.

Following a very successful theatrical run in Australia, Proud Mother Pictures independently launched the film in US cinemas in September 2014.

The "On Demand" rights for the film was acquired by the Gathr Films company in early June 2014. Gathr were due to commence distributing the film through its "Theatrical On Demand" platform in August 2014.

Critical reception
Following a screening in Perth, Australia, Alexander Dermer wrote in a review for the Weekend Notes: "Some of what the kids say can be immensely thought provoking and at other times downright hilarious, however I Am Eleven thoroughly manages to keep you entertained either way. This film achieves what it sets out to do and more." Dermer also identified what he perceived as "odd moments of slow pacing and sidestepped direction", but concludes that the film is a "must see for everyone".

Writing for Meld, a publication for international students that is based in Melbourne, Australia, Hieu Chau stated in an April 2013 review: "It offers up an engaging look at how children of different cultural backgrounds grow up in the world that they inhabit today ... it’s a stunning and successful effort for the documentary, especially when one considers that it had very little funding and no distributor."

The documentary was identified as a New York Times "Critics' Pic" in Neil Genzlinger's September 2014 review, in which he explains: "The project could easily have seemed like a smarmy Nickelodeon special or some variant of Kids Say the Darndest Things, but Ms. Bailey’s willingness to let the children talk and to let the viewer impose broader meaning elevates it."

title: Severin Motor Car Company

text:
The Severin Motor Car Company was a short-lived automobile manufacturer that started making cars in 1920 in Kansas City, Missouri and ended in accusations of stock fraud in 1921.

History
Homer T. Severin formed Severin Motor Car Company in his native Kansas City and production began in July 1920.  The Severin Model H was offered as a 5-passenger touring car for $2,400 ().   Power came from a Continental Motors Company six-cylinder engine.

Homer Severin went to California and announce intentions to move the company to a site in Oakland, California.  He began selling stock but did not get permits to do so.  He decided to leave the automobile business and went into real estate instead.   Mohawk Motor Company took over the Severin assets but was bankrupt within a month.  Metropolitan Motors Corporation took over the assets to build the remaining 300 Severins from parts on hand. The last Severins were assembled in 1922

title: Protorthodes eureka

text:
Protorthodes eureka is a moth in the family Noctuidae first described by William Barnes and Foster Hendrickson Benjamin in 1927. It is found in North America from southern Alberta southward in the western Great Plains to Colorado and in the Great Basin to east-central California and south-western Colorado. The habitat consists of open xeric habitats, especially sagebrush prairie and open pinyon-juniper woodlands.

The length of the forewings is 11–13 mm. The forewings are reddish brown with a longitudinally-streaked pattern resulting from dark-colored veins and lighter-brown color between the veins. There is a series of black sagittate (arrowhead-shaped) spots on the inner side of the almost straight subterminal line. The hindwings are pale whitish gray with a gray marginal band with an indistinct medial margin. The veins are dark. Adults are on wing from early August to late September.

Before Homosexuality in the Arab‐Islamic World, 1500–1800 is a 2005 book by Khaled El-Rouayheb, published by the University of Chicago Press. El-Rouayheb had written a PhD dissertation on the subject of homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic world, and this dissertation was supervised by Basim Musallam. El-Rouayheb revised the dissertation into this book. As of 2006 El-Rouayheb is a University of Cambridge postdoctoral fellow.

El-Rouayheb's thesis is that the male same sex desires expressed in the pre-modern Arab-Islamic world are not homosexuality in the modern, Western sense. Shusha Guppy of the Times Higher Education Supplement wrote that the book is "a more nuanced and limited study of "how homosexuality was perceived" in a particular period in the Arab parts of the Ottoman Empire before modernity", and therefore not a "Kinsey report" and not a general study. Donald L. Boisvert of Concordia University wrote that the work is one of the "few accessible studies of this sort". The author uses adab, biographical dictionaries, chronicles, travel journals written by Ottomans and Europeans, legal interpretations of the Quran and sharia, poetry, mystical treatises, and religious interpretations of the Quran and sharia as sources.

This book, a monograph, has been translated into French and Slovenian. The French version was published in 2010 and the Slovenian version was published in 2012.

Contents
El-Rouayheb argues his thesis by stating that essentialist views of homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic world generally do not consider the contrast between the two roles in anal intercourse (liwāt): active and passive, the contrast between chaste desire (‘ishq) and sexual desire, and the contrast between anal intercourse and other kinds of sexual acts. El-Rouayeb weighs the definitions of homosexuality and argues in favor of Michel Foucault's position that "homosexuality" is a construct of the conditions of the time period and against the "essentialist" view that homosexuality has always been present. El-Rouayheb stated that the importation of European attitudes against homosexuality, which began in the 19th century, affected the view of homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic world.

There are a total of 37 pages of footnotes in both English and Arabic. The work includes English translations of Muslim jurists's legal opinions. El-Rouayheb included writings by Islamic intellectuals who focused on literature. Qur'anic commentators had documented interpretations that are present in this book. Writings by Islamic mystics and speculations written by theologians are also included.

Boisvert wrote that the book "does not suffer from the obscurantism and use of jargon that are so common in Ph.D. theses."

Yip concluded that "There is no doubt that El-Rouayheb has constructed a convincing case that the western-centric conception of homosexuality did not exist in the Arab-Islamic Middle East during the period under study." Boisvert argued that "Often he goes to what seem superhuman lengths to demonstrate that there’s absolutely nothing “homosexual” in any of this, nothing in all these men writing and singing about the wonders of beautiful young men, nothing in the many tales celebrating this bond of love." Abraham Ibrahim of Monash University argued that the work experiences difficulty in defining what is meant by "homosexuality", with a contributing factor being the requirement "to constantly handle contradictory evidence and analysis." Therefore, the work "the author repeatedly runs into problems, contradictions, and controversies of which he seems to be unfortunately unaware" and "we are left with his interpretation of the term — which seems to be a publicly-identified amalgam of various tropes that catch the author’s eye, primarily sodomy and effeminacy."

Chapters and supplementary content
The opening quote from Quentin Skinner argued that different societies had different concepts and that none of the concepts are general or timeless.

The content is divided into three chapters. Sabine Schmidtke of the Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies wrote that each chapter is "dense" and "depicting a different strand relevant to perceptions of same-sex love among the culture of the male urban elite of the time."

The first chapter, "Pederasts and Pathics," stated that anal penetration has historically been viewed in terms of revenge, domination, hostility, and/or aggression from one party or another with the receptive partner losing masculinity by taking a "female" role, and therefore being dishonored or defeated, while the active partner did not receive these negative consequences. Therefore, there was a strong stigma against an adult male taking the passive role, and therefore going against his gender role. El-Rouayheb explained that pederasty, or a structure with an older male and a younger male, was the Ottoman standard of homosexual conduct. It was considered strange for one adult male to desire to have relations with another adult male. Most of this chapter can be read online at “Pederasts and Pathics.”

The second chapter, "Aesthetes," stated that same sex activity and a same sex-sexual desire were both considered highly inappropriate but that they are not the same as literary and artistic expression of a desire for youthful beauty, which is not perceived as a serious offense. The chapter includes analysis of love poetry. Miri Shefer-Mossensohn of Tel Aviv University wrote that the chapter "presents passionate love as a cultural value."

The third chapter, "Sodomites," discusses the four major schools of Islamic law and their punishments for same-sex activity. According to all four, the punishments were determined by the acts themselves rather than the motives; they proscribe less severe punishments for most forms of activity, such as kissing and fondling, while anal sex had the most severe punishment. Shefer-Mossensohn wrote that "most madhāhib regard only anal intercourse as cardinal in nature." In addition, according to several Islamic jurists, some activities, such as making love poetry towards fellow males, were allowed. Shefer-Mossensohn had also stated that "any first step along the slippery slope to such transgressions, even the mere gazing at beardless youths or being alone with them, was condemned." Boisvert argued that "None of these distinctions has anything to do with our great divide between homo- and heterosexual orientations."

The conclusion discusses the importation of European attitudes against homosexuality and the change of Arab-Islamic attitudes towards homosexuality.

The book includes two bibliographies, both of which are six pages long. One is of Arabic literature. The other is of secondary literature; most of this literature is in English.

Reception
Walter Andrews of the University of Washington wrote that the book was "[m]eticulously researched, lucidly written, nuanced, and brilliantly conceived," and he concluded that "This is an important book by an excellent scholar."

Boisvert argued that the book tries too hard to dismiss the idea that men in the premodern Middle East were in love with one another; he wrote that "Despite this dogged commitment to queer theory, this is on balance a trenchant, insightful, and even brilliant book. But one cannot help wishing that it were not so dismissive of the passionate longings of the men it seeks so diligently to understand."

Thomas Eich, author of a book review for Die Welt des Islams, argued that the work, "a major contribution to the history of homosexuality in the Middle East," "is a big step forward in the analysis of Middle Eastern literature and has to be highly recommended to anyone working in the field of gender studies and Islam." Eich argued that it may be too simple to say that the influx of the Victorian attitudes were the sole reason why Middle Eastern attitudes on homosexuality changed and that "Therefore, it would seem much more reasonable to me to argue that before European expansion, more or less positive and negative attitudes toward homosexuality and homoeroticism existed side by side in the Middle East." Eich argued that the attitudes towards homosexuality in the Middle East changed due to both external and internal factors. In addition Eich believed that the work did not properly define "homosexuality as it is generally understood today" and that some of the sources on 20th Century homosexuality in the West were not properly used.

Vern L. Bullough of the State University of New York wrote that "I highly recommend the book for helping us to understand better the complexity of homosexuality."

Ibrahim argued that "The overall impression, then, is of a book that perhaps tells us less than it thinks it does." He added that despite the work's "minor" issues, he book has merit and that "It is only because the scholarship is generally so solid and the subject matter worthy of the serious attention El-Rouayheb gives it that I have been so critical of" the issues.

Steven Wozniak of the Archives of Sexual Behavior argued that the author's view that the premodern relationships were not homosexuality "appears to" be undermined by his "somewhat myopic view of male-male relationships" and also that the author did not discuss relationships with adult men and women as well as a lack of discussion of "ideas from the feminist
and queer theory perspectives". Wozniak concluded that "The book is well written, rich in detail, elegantly produced, but ultimately only descriptive in nature."

Andrew K. T. Yip of Nottingham Trent University argued that the message, paraphrased by Yip as "No matter how tempting it is to universalize, we must exercise humility and caution; and take historical and cultural specificities seriously in our exploration of homosexuality, and indeed human sexuality", "is of great importance" "from a cross-cultural perspective particularly". Yip concluded that the book is "well-crafted and lucidly written", and that the author "is to be
congratulated for having done a commendable job" despite the fact that some readers may perceive his argument to be "old hat".
