title: Tapaninkylä dumping ground

text:
The Tapaninkylä dumping ground was a dumping ground in Helsinki Rural Commune, present Tapaninkylä, Helsinki. It was taken to use by The Finnish State Railways in 1903, and it was in use until 1944. In 1946, the area was annexed to Helsinki. The area is now known as the Hiidenkivi Park.

History
The history of the site began, when the State Railways acquired the area through compulsory purchase. The area was located between the streets of Rajatie, Kotinummentie and Vanha Tapanilantie. It was used to take gravel to be used for railroad construction. In 1903, the city of Helsinki decided to make the site its dumping ground. The site was then located far from the city, in the countryside. Waste was partly taken to the site by train, which was unique in Finland. A branch line went to the site.

The waste taken to the site was mainly domestic waste. The area was not guarded. Hazardous materials have only been found in minute quantities, since at the time the waste was mainly organic waste that decomposed easily.

The history of the settlement and commercial gardens
Human dwellings began to emerge in the vicinity of the site, mainly the dwellings of the city sanitation workers. Due to the possibility of easy acquisition of fertilizing matter, commercial gardens also sprang up in the area. The numbered only about 20, but they were rather sizable. The dumping ground aided the gardeners a great deal, since the landfill decomposed easily, and it contained much manure.

The long period of use of the dumping ground, over 40 years, indicates that the waste decomposed completely, and it also reflects the fact that the waste turned into fertilizing matter, which could be put to use locally. Apparently the dumping ground never was expanded, but it seems that in the 1940s the amount of the waste accumulated became so great that the site could no longer be used in the original manner.

The site today
Hiidenkivi Park is at the site. No signs of the former dumping ground remain.

title: The Boat Race 1868

text:
The 25th Boat Race between crews from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge took place on the River Thames on 4 April 1868.  Oxford won by six lengths in a time of 20 minutes and 56 seconds, taking the overall record to 15–10 in their favour.  Oxford cox Charles Tottenham became the first person in the history of the event to win five Boat Races, and Cambridge saw their first non-British rower compete.

Background

The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  The race was first held in 1829, and since 1845 has taken place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having defeated Cambridge by half a length in the previous year's race and led overall with fourteen wins to Cambridge's ten.

In February 1868, former Cambridge Blue Hon J. H. Gordon was found fatally wounded in his room from an accidentally self-inflicted gun discharge.  This resulted in Cambridge University Boat Club president John Still requesting that the usual challenge, which had been sent to Oxford in the Lent term, be rescinded.  According to MacMichael, the response was "very unsympathetic" in tone and therefore the challenge stood and was accepted: the universities would race.

Cambridge were coached for a week each by John Bourke (who had rowed in the unsuccessful crews of the 1866 and 1867 races) and the former boat club president William Griffiths (who had represented the Light Blues three times between the 1865 and 1867 races). Thomas Selby Egan coached the Cantabrigians for the three weeks preceding the race.  Oxford were coached by E. F. Henley (who rowed in 1865 and 1866), the former Oxford University Boat Club president G. Morrison, R. W. Risley (who rowed four times between the 1857 and 1860 races) and Walter Bradford Woodgate (who rowed in the 1862 and 1863 races.  The race was umpired by Joseph William Chitty who had rowed for Oxford twice in 1849 (in the March and December races) and the 1852 race, while the starter was Edward Searle and the finishing judge was John Phelps.  Despite the weeks of training, Cambridge did not arrive at Putney in a "state in which a University crew is expected to be." Conversely, according to Oxford's Frank Willan, the Dark Blues "made great progress during the last week" and "came to the post eventually very fit."

Crews
The Cambridge crewed weighed an average of 11 st 11.875 lb (75.1 kg), just  more than their opponents.  Oxford's crew contained four returning Blues, including cox Charles Tottenham who was competing in his fifth consecutive Boat Race, and Frank Willan who had rowed in the Dark Blues' successful races the previous two years.  The Cambridge crew included two rowers with Boat Race experience:  William Anderson and John Still, the latter making his third Boat Race appearance.  The Light Blue cox, Thomas Warner, was the first registered non-British competitor to represent the university, having studied at Melbourne Church of England Grammar School in Australia before becoming an alumnus of Trinity Hall.

Race

Around 11 a.m., Oxford departed from the London Rowing Club boathouse, while Cambridge left from Leander Club in order to head to the start. Cambridge had won the toss and elected to start from the Middlesex station, handing the Surrey side of the river to Oxford.  As a result of a number of boats moored on the north bank of the river, the tide which would have assisted the Light Blues was substantially blocked. Cambridge made a good start, leading by half a length by the London Rowing Club boathouse.  Oxford responded, and passing Leander, they had reduced the deficit to one third of a length.  Rowing past Craven Cottage, the Dark Blues were marginally ahead, despite a push from Cambridge.  Despite questionable steering in conditions described as having "prevailing haze", Oxford maintained a lead of around half a length by the Crab Tree pub.

The Dark Blues had extended their lead to a length by the soap works before shooting Hammersmith Bridge two lengths ahead.  Although river traffic diverted the Cambridge boat, they remained in contention, two lengths behind Oxford.  At Barnes Bridge, the Dark Blues were a further length ahead, and continued to extend their lead until the flag-boat, which they passed six lengths ahead in a time of 20 minutes 56 seconds.  Oxford's victory, their eighth in a row, took their overall lead to 15–10 in the event. Willan paid tribute to his cox: "In conclusion, I must again testify to the splendid steering of Tottenham, who for the fifth and I am sorry to say for the last time has contributed mainly to our victory over Cambridge."

title: Dukhan (traditional medicine)

text:
Dukhan is ritual bodily practice known in which the body is smoked with a special (scented) species wood. The ritual is mainly practiced by married women and women preparing for marriage in northern Sudanese provinces., although men also conduct it occasionally to treat rheumatic pain. Yet the practice of Dukhan is not performed amongst men frequently. In fact the Northern Sudanese culture frowns upon the practice amongst men. The technique is considered a traditional medicinal technique in Southern Sudan

The practice of taking a dukhan has many purported health benefits  such as smoothing the skin, and narrowing of the vagina with women (the latter being useful after childbirth) It also gives the skin a pleasant scent (due to the wood species used, usually shaff and talh wood. Dukhan is said to also be useful for treating syphilis, gonorrhoea and rheumatic pain. In this circumstance, various medicinal plants (such as tundub, natron) are used instead. Dukhan is often followed by dilka (scented massage).

The ritual goes as follows: a woman is anointed with karkar (scented oil) and takes place naked (only covered with a shamla -which is a thick local woolen blanket-) on a seat with a hole in the center. Below this seat, a fire is lit in a pit and scented wood is placed on it, producing smoke. She remains seated until the heat becomes unbearable.

title: The Boat Race 1869

text:
The 26th Boat Race between crews from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge took place on the River Thames on 17 March 1869.  Oxford won by three lengths in a time of 20 minutes and 4 seconds.  It was their ninth consecutive victory and was, at that point, the fastest time ever recorded in the event.

Background

The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  The race was first held in 1829, and since 1845 has taken place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having defeated Cambridge by six lengths in the previous year's race and led overall with fifteen wins to Cambridge's ten.

Having lost the last eight Boat Races, the Cambridge University Boat Club president William Anderson wrote to G. Morrison of Balliol College, Oxford, inviting him to coach the trials eights and the University eight.  Morrison had rowed in the 1859, 1860 and 1861 races and had also acted as a non-rowing president for the 1862 race.  The decision to engage a member of the opposing university was greeted with consternation and considered by many Cantabrigians as "a disgrace to the Club".  Indeed, five Old Blues refused to row, only William MacMIchael agreed to row again.  After the usual difficulty to agree arrangements, Cambridge eventually sent the traditional challenge and the date of the race was set for 17 March 1869.  Cambridge arrived at Putney a fortnight beforehand and made several practice rows in variable conditions, the worst of which included heavy snow, three days prior to the race.

The race was umpired by Joseph William Chitty who had rowed for Oxford twice in 1849 (in the March and December races) and the 1852 race, while the starter was Edward Searle.

Crews
The Oxford crewed weighed an average of 12 st 0.25 lb (76.1 kg),  more than their opponents.  The Cambridge crew contained three returning Blues, William MacMichael, William Anderson (for his third Boat Race) and John Still (his fourth), while Oxford saw the return of five rowers, including their boat club president J. C. Tinné for his third appearance and Frank Willan in his fourth Boat Race.

Race

According to The Field, "the weather was not the most agreeable for a boat-race ... a raw wind ... leaden-coloured clouds overhanging the river".  Oxford, who were strong pre-race favourites, won the toss and elected to start from the Middlesex station, handing the Surrey station to Cambridge.  Although the Light Blues made the faster start, Oxford soon pulled alongside them and by the London Rowing Club boathouse, held a lead of around .  Cambridge closed the gap but Oxford pulled away again.  The lead was exchanged once again and Oxford took the lead at Craven Cottage.  Despite erratic steering from Oxford's cox Darbishire, Oxford held the advantage until the crews shot Hammersmith Bridge, at which point the Light Blues held the lead by one third of a length.

Still in the lead by The Doves pub, Cambridge steered too close to the bank and allowed Oxford to close the gap and passed Chiswick Eyot in the lead, with a half-length advantage by Chiswick Church.  The Dark Blues passed under Barnes Bridge with a two-length lead and completed the course, passing the Ship Tavern three lengths clear in a time of 20 minutes 4 seconds.  It was their ninth consecutive victory and took the overall record to 16–10 in their favour.  The winning time was the fastest ever, beating the previous record set in 1868 by 52 seconds, although some doubt was cast over the positioning of the finish which was believed to have made the course approximately  shorter.  The record would stand until the 1873 race.

title: Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla

text:
Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla is a 2014 single released by Soulfly. The song was first released on the album Savages in 2013. The song's title was inspired by a quote from the film Mad Max 2.

The song features Neil Fallon of Clutch, providing clean vocals in addition to roars by Max Cavalera. The song contains elements of Southern metal in the Pantera style.

Fallon has thoughts about himself and Cavalera singing together, "I am stoked to have been asked by Max to participate on the 'Ayatollah of Rock 'N' Rolla' track! Max brought Clutch out on some of our earliest and most formative tours and this brought back some very fond memories of singing with Max all those years ago." Cavalera quoted about his likeness to Ghost Cult magazine, "A song like 'Ayatollah of Rock 'N' Rolla,' it was something totally new. I never did anything like that before. It starts with like this country, cowboy riff, and Neil starts talking over it and it was so killer! And of course that line in the chorus 'Ayatollah of Rock 'N' Rolla' is from Mad Max. It's probably my favorite song on the album. I don't want to make the same record over and over." Cavalera commented to Songfacts about why he wanted Neil Fallon to join him, "I thought it was a great idea to do a song with Clutch, and mixing Soulfly and Clutch together in the same song for me sounded just so amazing and unusual and wild and exotic, which was great. We did it and it sounds killer."

title: Inspector Vikram (1989 film)

text:
Inspector Vikram is a 1989 Indian Kannada-language comedy thriller film directed and filmed by Dinesh Baboo, written by Chi. Udaya Shankar and produced by Raghavendra Rajkumar under the banner of Nikhileshwari Cine Combines.The film stars Shivarajkumar in the title role with Kavya, Chi Guru Dutt, Aparna and K. S. Ashwath in other supporting roles. It revolves around an undisciplined, but intelligent police inspector, Vikram. It is regarded as the first Kannada film of the comedy thriller genre.

Inspector Vikram was the second film produced by Raghavendra Rajkumar under the production banner, Nikhileshwari Cine Combines.  after Shruthi Seridaaga. It was distributed by Parvathamma Rajkumar's Vajreshwari Combines. The film marks the first collaboration between scriptwriter Chi. Udaya Shankar and Shivarajkumar and also the first collaboration between Dinesh Baboo and Shivarajkumar.  It was predominantly shot in Bangalore (now Bengaluru). The film features original songs composed by Vijay Anand. The editing of the film was done by P. Bhakthavatsalam.

Inspector Vikram was released on 25 May 1989. It was an average grosser at the box office at the time of release, but has over the years accumulated a cult following. The film has been praised for incorporating an element of recklessness and humor to the cop role, as by then cop roles where portrayed in a serious tone. A spiritual successor of the same name was released in 2021. The core plot was loosely based on the 1983 American movie Eddie Macon's Run. Shiva Rajkumar is set to reprise the character of Inspector Vikram in IV - Returns.

Plot

Vikram aka Inspector Vikram is a happy-go-lucky cop, who has no problem getting himself into trouble with his superiors, especially the police commissioner Chandrashekhar. Although accepted as a brilliant mind with a sharp intellect to solve crimes, he is often chided for his immature, casanova-personality. Much of misadventures, though leading to the solving of the crime, puts Vikram and Chandrashekhar (who is also his father's best friend) at opposite ends of the table. During the course of time, Vikram courts many brickbats and transfers in his career. He serves in the traffic department as well as the Law and order department. However, when an inmate Raja escapes from prison, Vikram is called back in to track him down.

It is revealed that Vikram had jailed Raja when he was caught killing his employer. In the meantime, to ensure that Vikram does his job, Chandrashekhar entrusts Krishnamurthy, a retired colonel in the INA to discipline Vikram. Despite the colonel's attempts to discipline Vikram, Vikram's attempts to fight that change is captured well in all its hilarity. Krishnamurthy's daughter Geetha and Vikram soon fall for each other. With Raja's escape on the large, and with no clues, Vikram decides to investigate Raja's lifestyle where he learns that Raja was actually an honest man, and it was his employer who set him up and got him arrested where he also meets his wife Vijaya and her ailing daughter.

Vikram meticulously retraces every step Raja has taken before his escape, and realizes that Raja had this so well planned that it would take years before anyone else got to him. Meanwhile, Geetha, who is a dance student goes on a dance tour across Karnataka. Vikram learns that Vijaya is also travelling with Geetha and Raja and Vijaya are meeting at a pre-discussed point and are planning to travel to Bombay from there. Vikram clandestinely follows Vijaya and soon ends up nabbing Raja. However, when Raja, seeing his opportunity to help his ailing daughter disappear, breaksdown in anguish where Vikram is now caught in a moral dilemma, agrees to let Raja escape, saying that his life won't change much even if he arrests him. Raja offers his gratitude and escapes, along with Vijaya and their daughter. Vikram joins Geetha and they drive away into the sunset.

Cast

Production
Shivarajkumar acted as a dupe for the villain (Tamil actor Narayan) in a car chase sequence towards the climax.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the film was composed by Vijay Anand. Dilip, credited now as A. R. Rehman worked as an orchestra arranger.

Track list

Reception
The movie received mixed reviews upon release. However, over the time the film has gained a strong impression from critics and audience alike. Dinesh Baboo's efforts to induce an element of recklessness and humour without build-ups in the cop role was well received since till then the lead cop roles were always portrayed in a serious tone with strictness and heroism. The freshness towards such an approach without demeaning the cops was well appreciated.

title: Karl Ferdinand Ranke

text:
Karl Ferdinand Ranke (26 May 1802, in Wiehe – 29 March 1876, in Berlin) was a German educator and classical philologist. He was the brother of historian Leopold von Ranke (1795–1886) and theologians Friedrich Heinrich Ranke (1798–1876) and Ernst Constantin Ranke (1815–1888).

He studied theology and philology at the University of Halle, afterwards working as a schoolteacher at the Francke Foundations (Halle). In 1831 he was named director of the gymnasium in Quedlinburg, later transferring to Göttingen as successor to Friedrich August Grotefend as director of its gymnasium. In 1841 he became a professor at the University of Göttingen, and during the following year, was appointed director of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin.

As a director of gymnasiums, he made important contributions towards the educational-methodical reorganization of the Prussian education system. In the field of classical philology, he was the author of significant works on Hesiod, Aristophanes, Xenophon, et al. He also published biographies on classical scholars Karl Otfried Müller (1870) and August Meineke (1871).

title: Henry Forder

text:
Henry George Forder (27 September 1889 – 21 September 1981) was a New Zealand mathematician.

Academic career
Born in  Shotesham All Saints, near Norwich,  he won a scholarships first to a Grammar school and then to University of Cambridge. After teaching mathematics at a number of schools, he was appointed to the chair of mathematics at Auckland University College in New Zealand in 1933. He was very critical of the state of the New Zealand curriculum and set about writing a series of well received textbooks.

His Foundations of Euclidean Geometry (1927) was reviewed by F.W. Owens, who noted that 40 pages are devoted to "concepts of classes, relations, linear order, non archimedean systems, ..." and that order axioms together with a continuity axiom and a Euclidean parallel axiom are the required foundation.
The object achieved is a "continuous and rigorous development of the [Euclidean] doctrine in the light of modern investigations."

In 1929 Forder obtained drawings and notes of Robert William Genese on the exterior algebra of Grassmann. He relied on methods of H. F. Baker in Principles of Geometry to extend Genese's beginning into a complete development with applications throughout geometry. When The Calculus of Extension appeared in 1941 it was reviewed by Homer V. Craig: "The theorem density is exceptionally high and consequently despite the superior exposition it is not an easy book to work straight through – perhaps the key chapters suffer from a lack of recapitulation...
[It] provides the best  exposition of the fundamental processes of the Ausdehnungslehre and the  most inclusive treatment of the geometrical applications available at present."

Henry Forder was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1947 and received an honorary DSc from the University of Auckland in 1959.

Forder lectureship
The Forder Lectureship was established jointly by the London Mathematical Society and the New Zealand Mathematical Society in his honour in 1986.

title: Animal Serum

text:
Animal Serum is the first collaborative album by hip hop artists Prince Po and Oh No. It was released on February 4, 2014, by Wandering Worx and Green Streets Entertainment. The work on Animal Serum started in 2007, with a few songs recorded as an experiment, before it turned into a full-length album. The album took several years to finish due to Oh No's involvement in other projects. Animal Serum received mostly positive reviews from music critics, but some of them found Oh No's production to be monotonous.

Background
Following the release of three studio albums as part of the group Organized Konfusion, Prince Po focused on his solo career. Animal Serum was the first full-length album he released since 2007. Oh No started his career in the late 1990s with guest features and production for his brother Madlib's group Lootpack. By 2014, he had released numerous projects, both solo and as part of the Gangrene duo with the Alchemist, and had composed several soundtracks, including the soundtrack for 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V.

Recording
Prince Po and Oh No met when Prince Po was working on Madlib-produced Percee P's album Perseverance (2007). Immediately, the two started working together, with Oh No sending beats and Prince Po presenting his unfinished verses over the phone. Animal Serum was started with a few songs the duo recorded to experiment, eventually turning into a full-fledged album. Due to Oh No's involvement in various other projects and soundtracks, completing the album took longer than expected.

Release
Animal Serum was released on February 4, 2014, by Wandering Worx and Green Streets Entertainment. The album was supported by the release of music videos for four of the album's tracks: "Smash", "Machine Rages", "1st Word To What Was Last Said", and "Keep Reachin".

Critical reception

Animal Serum received mostly positive reviews from music critics, with some of them finding the album's production to be monotonous. Kevin Jones of Exclaim! shared this view, as he believed that the album would benefit from incorporating a more diverse sonic palette. He also noted the use of "stormy guitar and organ combination" throughout the album and Prince Po's verbal aggression. HipHopDX Jay Balfour also thought the album "does end up striking the same note at least one times too many", but still viewed it as a "thematically aggressive project" that isn't overly simplistic. RapReviews praised the album, describing it as "dark magic". Gary Suarez, writing for The Quietus, was more critical, as he believed both Prince Po and Oh No underperformed. The reviewer asserted that Animal Serum lacks the level of excitement of Oh No's previous albums and that Prince Po's "flaky metaphorical framework frequently falls short", listing "Machine Rages", "Toxic", and "U" as highlights of the record.

Track listing
All tracks are written by Prince Po. All tracks are produced by Oh No.

title: Kristine Church, Falun

text:
Kristine Church is the parish church of Falu Kristine in the Diocese of Västerås of the Church of Sweden in Falun.

Construction
Construction of the Kristine Church started in 1642 and it was ready for use in 1655 under the name of The New Church of Falun. One of the instigators of building the church, County Governor Johan Berndes, had chosen the name Kristine Church  as an hommage to Queen Christina in 1651 but the name had to be altered after the queen abdicated and converted to Catholicism in 1654. The name Kristine Church was reintroduced during the late 1700s. The tower was built during the years 1658 - 1660. The bricks of which the church was built were handmade in Rankhyttan, 25 kilometers from Falun. Limestone for the pillars of the church was taken from Rättvik.

Interior
The interior was considerably altered by the restoration in 1905: A new organ and organ balcony were built. The enclosed pews were exchanged for open ones. The doors of the old pews as well as the endpieces were used as panelling around the walls. The interior woodwork, which to begin with was unpainted and then later was painted white, received at this time its blue and gold colours. The old copper portals were exchanged for new ones. The latest restoration took place in 1965.

The Kristine Church is an expression of the City of Falun's esteem and importance during the 1600 and is also an eminent representative of the later part of The Younger Wasa Period.

The altarpiece and the pulpit were made in 1669 by the German sculptor Ewerdt Friis.

The two chandeliers toward the front of the nave were donated to the church in 1844 and the one in the rear was purchased by the parish in 1950.

The wooden sculptures in the southwest corner were originally part of the old organ balcony and were made in 1687.

The sepulchral tablets are from the latter part of the 1600 and the 1700. The windows in the sanctuary were made in Munich in 1905.

Textiles
Prominent among the church's textiles are a chasuble and a cope, both from 1666.

Church silver
Outstanding among the church's silver pieces are a chalice with paten from around 1550, a wine decanter made around 1600 and a christening bowl from 1659.

Christening font

The christening font is made of Swedish marble in 1906.

Bells

There are three church bells, originally cast in 1658, but all of them have since been recast.

Organs

The balcony organ was built 1905 - 1906 by E A Setterquist and son, Örebro. It was restored 1979 - 80 by A Magnusson's organ works in Mölndal and is entire in its original form. The organ in the lower sanctuary was built by Magnusson's organ works and was inaugurated in 1982. In tone and outer design it is built similar to a baroque organ and thus harmonizes with the rest of the church. The nearest prototype is the organ built by the famous Johan Niclas Cahman in the Kristine Church 1724. Out of the new organ's 1.905 pipes almost 300 come from the organ from 1724.

title: Echinothuriidae

text:
The Echinothuriidae are a family of sea urchins in the order Echinothurioida. Due to their soft skeletons, most are called "leather urchins", but species in the genus Asthenosoma are also known as "fire urchins" due to their bright colors and painful, venomous sting.

Description and characteristics
These sea urchins have a disc-like body, more or less bulging, structured by a flexible test, which is nearly unique among sea urchins. Most species can grow quite big and live in deep seas, though some genera contain shallow species (especially Asthenosoma).

The test is composed of thin and weakly calcified plates, not always continuous. The spines are attached to perforated and uncrenulated tubercles. Spines from the oral face are ending with a hyaline hoof, which allows walking on soft substrate.
The jaw (Aristotle's lantern) has five aulodont teeth.

This family seems to have appeared at the end of the Cretaceous.

Taxonomy
The World Echinoidea Database recognises these genera:
 Subfamily Echinothuriinae Thomson, 1872a
 genus Araeosoma Mortensen, 1903b - 19 current species and two fossils
 genus Asthenosoma Grube, 1868 - six current species and one fossil
 genus Calveriosoma Mortensen, 1934 - two species
 genus Hapalosoma Mortensen, 1903b - four species
 Sub-family Hygrosomatinae Smith & Wright, 1990
 genus Hygrosoma Mortensen, 1903b - three species
 Sub-family Sperosomatinae Smith & Wright, 1990
 genus Sperosoma Koehler, 1897 - 11 species

title: Notre Dame of Genio Edcor Inc.

text:
Notre Dame of Genio Edcor, Inc.(Old name: Notre Dame of Edcor ) is a  private, Catholic academic institution run by the Oblates of Notre Dame located in Alamada, Cotabato, Philippines, making this school the first Notre Dame school administered by the OND Sisters. This institution is a member of the Notre Dame Educational Association. Established in 1958, it has been one of the pioneering schools under the Notre Dame Educational System in the province of North Cotabato, Philippines.

Historical background of Notre Dame of Genio Edcor
In 1957, the settlers of EDCOR requested the late Archbishop Gerard Mongeau, OMI, DD, (February 4, 1900 – October 31, 1994) to establish a school for their children. The bishop's response was to let the people construct the building, then he will provide the administrators. In answer to the request, the wooden materials for the construction of the building were offered by the farm Administrator, retired Major Dalmacio Tecson. Labor was free as local residents volunteered their services. The Army Chaplain, Fr. Manuel Vacante supervised the construction. It was a seven-room building with one room for the laboratory, one room for the library and one room for offices and faculty. The building was completed in time for the school year 1958–1959, offering courses for first and second year high school.

The administration of the school was offered to the Oblates of Notre Dame (OND sister), a community of women organized on  1956 in Cotabato City. The ONDs accepted the offer because the school was a good venue for Catechism. The fourth year students will be trained to be catechists to the public elementary pupils. Notre Dame of Genio Edcor is a small school located in a town where there is no other public secondary school existing  during that time and poverty is keenly felt by the people. In such a given context the school ministry strives to bring hope and joy to the students and the community it serves.

It will be interesting to know what the situation was, when EDCOR was first visited on May 14, 1958, by Fr. George Dion, OMI with Sisters Estrella Adre, Juliana del Castillo and Lina Carbonell. Sr. Estrella entered in the codex the following:

On May 26, 1958, Fr. George Dion accompanied the first ONDs who were assigned to start the new Notre Dame School in Alamada: Miss Ma. Estrella Adre, Soledad Amigable, Mercedes Favor, Prexedes Biclar. School equipment, supplies and other miscellaneous things were brought to the new school from Cotabato City. On June 10, 1958, it was noted that the enrollment was increasing and hence they saw the need for more teachers.

NDGE is located in EDCOR which is an acronym for  Economic Development Corporation. This was the "land for the landless" program by the late President Ramon Magsaysay. It was intended for HUKS- a popular group of dissidents in the country so that they could acquire land to cultivate. Resolution No. 376 dated March 10, 1953 gave birth to this project and the manager of the Project EDCOR was retired Major Dalmacio Tecson.

When the management of the place was turned over  to the civil government, the name of the place was changed to ALAMADA, in memory and honor of the great and powerful late Datu Alamada who fought against foreign opposition and tyrannies. Kitacubong was the heart of his kingdom. In 1968 Resolution No. 38 which is the renaming of the municipality to Alamada, separate and distinct form the municipality of Libungan, Cotabato. Meanwhile, the school has retained its name Notre Dame of Genio Edcor.

The first ever Graduation was in 1962. The Notre Dame of Genio Edcor, Inc. celebrated its 50th Golden Founding Anniversary in 2008.

As the years went by more students enrolled at NDGEI and hence an annex building with four rooms was added. The flooring was cemented. The last room was raised by one meter to serve as stage for PTA meetings and for school programs.

Timeline of school administrators

Curriculum

Notre Dame of Genio Edcor, Inc. adopts the Department of Education's K to 12 Basic Education Program  for its Junior High School up to Senior High School.
The school is using the DepEd Grading System which uses the  Average base Grading computation in all year level. The school also uses a Computerized Grading System created by a private company called DISAT.(Digital Information System and Technology) wherein computation of grades are made much more efficient and convenient for the teachers.

Modular Learning
For remote learning, assessments are home-based and self-managed. These assessments are authentic tasks that measure the learner's proficiency in terms of the competencies. These tasks closely resemble actual situations in which competencies are applied. This alternative delivery mode is given to Grades 7-12 learners who can manage their own learning, and use resources like Kto12 aligned Modules and Self-Instructional Materials and other quality teacher-made modules. Each teacher is a modular learning facilitator who has the responsibility to validate students’ learning through their responses on every activity in the module.

title: Disney's Activity Center

text:
Disney's Activity Center is a series of PC and PlayStation games released by Disney Interactive with each title consisting of various activities and minigames to be completed, using aspects of their licensed property.

Development
Disney Interactive was founded in 1994 via the acquisition of Sanctuary Woods, to develop and market a range of interactive entertainment based on their properties. The company's distribution was handled by Disney division Buena Vista. Ex-Sanctuary Woods' 35 staff in their local Victoria, British Columbia office became a small part of Disney Interactive's 300 employees, handling the programming, sound and graphic design, and art. Meanwhile, Disney Interactive managed the animation and creative from their Burbank head office. The developers aimed to have a "true and fair representation of the original property", having the feature films' directors and producers working alongside their artists and designers. The developer was one of several interactive divisions of film studios sprouting at the time, including Universal Interactive Studios, Turner Interactive, Fox Interactive, Sony Imagesoft, and Imagination Pilots (MGM). Disney Interactive felt the initial success of the Activity and Storybook games would boost the success of their Learning Series (kicked off with Ready to Read with Pooh) and the first game from their creativity line Disney's Draw & Paint.

List of games

Critical reception
On AllGame, Disney's The Lion King Activity Center received 3.5 stars, Disney's Aladdin Activity Center received 3.5 stars, Disney's Toy Story Activity Center received 3.5 stars, Disney's Winnie the Pooh Activity Center received 3.5 stars, Disney's 102 Dalmatians Activity Center received 3.5 stars, Disney's Dinosaur Activity Center received 2 stars, Disney's Tigger Activity Center received 3 stars, and Disney's Tarzan Activity Center received 3 stars.

The Boston Herald thought that by 1999, the titles had become predictable cash-ins to Disney films, who would generally have voice actor replacements and the same structure as previous games in the series; the newspaper also commented that Activity Center games were one part of the triad (along with the "action game" and the "print studio" that Disney Interactive would generally release with each new film). Knight Ridder thought the Tarzan triad weren't groundbreaking yet fun enough to keep kids entertained, deeming the Activity Center as a pleasant diversion. The Herald News thought the series was catered toward children and kept them in mind during the design process. The Washington Post considered the games as tie-ins that Disney was cranking out at the time, strictly for fans of the film properties. The Los Angeles Times noted the games featured an online component, but the Internet content wasn't assured as safe by Disney.

Release
The song was originally intended to be released on cassette during their European tour.  When the cassettes were delayed, the track was made available on their site as a free download.

Composition
The song itself is divided into four segments that cover a wide range of genres: part one is a two-minute experimental metal segment from which "Endless Slaughter" gets its name, it's the longest and most structured part of the song.

Part two is a softer, somewhat ambient interlude that leads into part three; a glam metal-oriented breakdown and the shortest segment, lasting about 40 seconds.

The fourth and final part starts with a distorted guitar solo and quickly becomes a hip hop song that ends abruptly.

Music video
The music video, released on August 24, was filmed during the band's European tour, and consists of four long takes for each band member and each part of the song, Otto and Durst's portions were filmed at The Patronaat.

title: Eirik Haugstad

text:
Eirik Haugstad (born 17 January 1994) is a Norwegian football midfielder who currently plays for Lyn.

Career
He hails from Oksval at Nesodden and played youth football for Nesodden IF, but transferred to Lyn when enrolling in the Norwegian College of Elite Sport. When the elite branch ("FK Lyn") went bankrupt in 2010, he joined the club's amateur branch ("Lyn Fotball"). In 2011 Lyn Fotball played in the 4. Division, the fifth tier of Norwegian football, and Haugstad played four senior games there. He mostly played for the junior team, and in 2012 he joined Stabæk to have the same role there. He did however make his first-team debut for Stabæk against Elverum in the 1. divisjon in 2013, his last year as a junior.

In 2014, he was a part of Stabæk's senior squad. His debut in the Norwegian Premier League was unprecedented. Stabæk's two goalkeepers were away for the FIFA World Cup (Sayouba Mandé) and suspended for a send-off (Borger Thomas). Stabæk chose to field their former goalkeeper, now retired Espen Isaksen. Not having a professional contract, Isaksen was only allowed to play a single game and was not allowed in the starting eleven. Thus, Eirik Haugstad started as Stabæk's goalkeeper and was substituted for Isaksen after only three seconds of play. Haugstad later made his first-tier debut on his own merits, as a substitute against Vålerenga in July 2014.

In the summer of 2016 Haugstad OBOS-ligaen side FK Jerv. In the fall of 2016, Jerv faced Haugstad's former club Stabæk in a promotion/relegation playoff. Haugstad scored the only goal in Jerv's 1–0 home victory, but they lost 0–2 on away ground. Ahead of the 2018 season Haugstad went down two tiers to sign for fourth-tier Lyn Fotball.

Haugstad was a talented track and field athlete, who clocked personal best times of 11.37 in the 100 metres (2011), 22.63 in the 200 metres (2012), 49.73 in the 400 metres (2011) and 2.00 in the high jump (2012, indoors). His twin sister Kristin Haugstad played in Toppserien for Vålerenga, later moving to Damallsvenskan.

title: Sylvia (Focus song)

text:
"Sylvia" is a 1972 song by Dutch progressive rock band Focus. It was released on their 1972 album Focus 3 and as a UK single on 27 January 1973. The single became the band's biggest international hit, reaching number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and number 89 in the US Billboard chart.

Background
First released as a single in The Netherlands in April 1972, the song was subsequently included on the album Focus 3 in November. On 12 December, the band recorded a session for the BBC's The Old Grey Whistle Test, including "Sylvia" segueing into the yodeling of "Hocus Pocus".

Aside from Thijs van Leer's short section of falsetto vocalising, the song is instrumental.

In 1968, while in the four-piece backing band and vocal group Shaffy Chantant with lead singer Ramses Shaffy, Thijs composed the melody of the song with words by Linda Van Dijck for Sylvia Alberts to sing. It had the long winded title "I Thought I Could Do Everything On My Own, I Was Always Stripping The Town Alone" but when he played the song for Sylvia, "she didn't like it at all," so it went "on the shelf." Years later he dusted it down, and recorded it as an instrumental with Focus, and named it after her.

Reception
The Rough Guide to Rock describes Akkerman's guitar melody as "exuberant". The band's Christmas 1972 appearance on the Old Grey Whistle Test, along with a number of UK gigs in late 1972, has been credited with exposing the band and helping the single reach number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. The programme's presenter, Bob Harris, is quoted as saying that the band's appearance was so well received by the audience that the pressing plant for the single was overwhelmed and only produced copies of "Sylvia" for the following week to cater for the demand.

Dave Thompson, writing for AllMusic, said that aside from the studio recording, the band's best version of the song was the one included on the 1973 At the Rainbow live album. He compared the relatively short song to the band's longer compositions, describing Akkerman's playing as an "exercise in economics".

In the US, the song peaked at number 89.

Ephraim Thompson (October 28, 1859 – April 17, 1909) was a well-known American elephant trainer.

Career
Thompson was trained by Stewart Craven, who was inducted into the Circus Hall of Fame in 1979.

Thompson was part of the Adam Forepaugh Show but since he was black, he was forced to remain in the background while Addie Forepaugh Jr. presented the acts. In 1887, he performed with Carl Hagenbeck's International Circus from April to September. In 1895, he was with Circus Salamonsky Moskau performing a tight rope trick between two elephants that were holding the rope. In 1902, he performed at the Blackpool Tower Circus in England. He eventually went to Europe with his act in the 1890s and 1900s. He actually had a somersaulting elephant in his act. the first great American elephant trainer—and, by all accounts, the most humane.

Family life
Born October 28, 1859, in Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, Michigan, and died April 17, 1909, in Alexandria, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt. He married Dolinda de la Plata née Roba in 1887 and had a son in 1889 named Leo. At the time of his death he was married to the circus performer Jessie Kelly (Leopold), who after Thompson's death married the acrobat/comedian/ringmaster Sam Nagle (Elton), who was best known for his act "Domestic Mishaps," performed at the London Hippodrome before the Shah of Persia, a notoriously dour man who nonetheless laughed throughout Elton's performances.

text:
The Admiral T. J. Lopez Bridge is a truss bridge crossing the Kanawha River at Chelyan, West Virginia, named for 4-star admiral Thomas J. Lopez. The Warren truss bridge cost $25.9 million to build, and was opened to traffic on June 30, 1997. It serves as a connection between I-64/I-77 (West Virginia Turnpike), U.S. Route 60 (US 60), and West Virginia Route 61 (WV 61).

History

The current bridge replaced an earlier crossing known as the Chelyan Bridge. Initially a toll crossing constructed for the Midland Trail-James River Bridge Company in 1928-29, this bridge consisted of 17 riveted steel truss and girder spans with a total length of . The main span over the navigable channel was a  cantilever truss with  side spans. It was sold to the state of West Virginia in 1946 and, despite several rehabilitation projects over the years, continuing deterioration of the bridge required a load limit to be imposed. The bridge was documented by the West Virginia Division of Highways for the Historic American Engineering Record in 1993 prior to its replacement.
