title: Henry V, Count of Luxembourg

text:
Henry V the Blondell (1216 – 24 December 1281), called the Great, was the Count of Arlon from 1226 to his death, lord of Ligny from 1240 to his death, Count of Luxembourg and Laroche from 1247 to his death, and the Marquis of Namur between 1256 and 1264 as Henry III. He was the son and successor of Waleran III, Duke of Limburg and Ermesinde, Countess of Luxembourg.

In 1226, following the death of his father Waleran III, Henry inherited the county of Arlon.

In 1240 Henry married Margaret, daughter of Henry II of Bar and Philippa of Dreux. Henry's marriage to Margaret brought him Ligny-en-Barrois as her dowry, though, by a clause in the marriage contract, it remained under the feudal suzerainty of the County of Bar. In contempt of this, Henry paid homage in 1256 to King Theobald II of Navarre in the latter's capacity as Count of Champagne. Henry's brother-in-law Count Theobald II of Bar took advantage of the conflict then raging between Duke Frederick III of Lorraine and the bishops of Metz. Henry V was a partisan of the duke and so Theobald took the side of the bishop. Henry was captured in battle at Prény on 14 September 1266. On 8 September 1268, King Louis IX of France arbitrated between the two counts and Henry was freed and repossessed of Ligny, but under the suzerainty of the Barrois.

Henry inherited Luxembourg and Laroche following the death of his mother, Ermesinde, in 1247. In 1256, Henry seized Namur while the reigning margrave, Baldwin II, was also reigning emperor in Constantinople. Baldwin sold his rights to Namur to Guy, Count of Flanders, who retook the margraviate from Henry. The two parties made peace and Guy married Henry's daughter, Isabelle.

Upon receiving 15,000 tournois from the Pope, Henry joined Edward of England on the Ninth Crusade. He returned with his remaining retainers after the crusaders achieved a truce with the Mamluk Sultanate.

Issue

From Margaret he had the following issue:

Henry VI (died 1288), Count of Luxembourg
Waleran I (died 1288), Count of Ligny & Roussy. He is the forefather and founder of what became the french branch of the House of Luxembourg, the so-called house of Luxembourg-Ligny.
Isabelle (1247–1298), married Guy of Dampierre
Philippa (1252–1311), married John II, Count of Holland
Marguerite (lady of Macheren), living 1302
Felicitas
Jeanne (died 1310), Abbess at the Abbey of Clairefontaine

He also had at least two illegitimate sons, including:

Henry, bastard of Luxembourg (died 1288), married Isabelle of Houffalize, heiress of Houffalize
Baldwin

All of his sons perished in the Battle of Worringen in 1288.

title: Marie Haps

text:
Marie Haps (1879–1939) was a Luxembourg-born Belgian educationalist, the founder of what subsequently became the Institut Libre Marie Haps (now part of the Haute École Léonard de Vinci) and the Marie Haps Faculty of Translation and Interpreting (Saint-Louis University, Brussels).

Life
Born at Diekirch, Luxembourg on 29 April 1879, Marie Julie Frauenberg married the Belgian financier Joseph Haps and moved to Brussels. In 1914, she set up a soup kitchen, and in 1920 was one of the founders of a seaside resort for working-class women in De Panne.

The achievement for which she is best remembered is the establishment in 1919 of a school of higher education for young women. In 1930 this school took her name as its own, and in 1932 it was accredited by the University of Louvain.

Marie Haps died 14 March 1939.

Views
Rather than provide professional education for women, as was available in teacher training colleges and nursing colleges, Marie Haps wished to establish an institution that would provide general education to middle-class women whose futures would lie in their social roles as wife and mother. She regarded educated homemakers, the intellectual equals of their husbands, as having an important contribution to national reconstruction after the First World War. Her institute only began to provide professional education after the Second World War, first in training psychological assistants (from 1946) and then translators and interpreters (1955).

She gave an exposition of her views at the sixth Catholic Congress in Mechelen in September 1936, in a lecture that was subsequently published in the congress proceedings.

title: Martina Batini

text:
Martina Batini (born 17 April 1989) is an Italian right-handed foil fencer, two-time team European champion, three-time team world champion, and 2021 team Olympic bronze medalist.

Career
Batini first competed both in foil and épée as a child, then specialized in foil. She won in 2006 the gold medal both in the Cadets Italian National Championships and the Cadets World Championships at Taebaek City. In 2008, she became Junior European Champion at Amsterdam. The year after, she won the U23 European Championship in Debrecen and took the third place at the Junior World Championships in Belfast.

Amongst seniors, she made her breakthrough during the 2013–14 season. She took her first World Cup with a gold medal in Tauberbischofsheim after defeating reigning World champion Arianna Errigo and reigning Olympic champion Elisa Di Francisca. A week later she won the National Italian Championships in Acireale. She also took a bronze medal at the SK Trophée in Seoul. In the 2014 European Championships in Strasbourg, she met Di Francisca in the final. Batini took a 5–1 lead, but Di Francisca scored 14 hits in a row, dooming Batini to the silver medal. In the team event, the “Dream Team” formed by Di Francisca, Errigo, Valentina Vezzali and Batini were largely given favourites, having won gold in every World Cup of the season. They cruised to the final and met Russia, who kept them at bay for the first six relays. In her last leg, Batini prevailed 7–4, giving Italy the lead for the first time in the match. A 10-hit rally by Di Francisca in the last bout allowed Italy to retain the European title.

Batini obtained in 2014 a master's degree in engineering management from the University of Pisa. Her sister Camilla is an épée fencer.

title: Gorgeous Lies

text:
Gorgeous Lies is a 2002 novel written by Martha McPhee. It is a sequel to her first book, Bright Angel Time.

Synopsis
This book tells the story of Anton Furey, a charismatic therapist who is dying. It details the familial relationships during this time, which includes his five kids, his wife's three kids and the child they have together. That child -- Alice -- then moves back to the farm where she was raised (Chardin). While the family lived there – in a communal lifestyle – they got the reputation of being the new American blended family. Because of that reporters and film crews took an interest, recording their lifestyle.

Then things change. Anton gets sicker and many emotions from the years spent in Chardin surface. Throughout this process, the collective kids start reliving the issues they had, in an attempt to make their peace with their father.

Reception
Publishers Weekly wrote that it has "an offbeat writing style and poetic metaphors", but not all of the characters "are fully sketched".  The Washington Post  Michael Harris of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "[McPhee] avoids the extremes of hippie nostalgia and conservative revisionism and doesn't provide any simple answers". Harris describes her prose as "elegant and airy".  Cathleen Medwick of O, The Oprah Magazine called it "an unusually strong novel [that] explores the wild frontier of domestic life." Bruce Bawer of The New York Times wrote, "If McPhee's first novel was a case of relatively orthodox storytelling, her second is a free-associative jumble of memory and emotion that makes the reader feel like a family therapist on marathon duty."  Kirkus Reviews wrote, "Somewhat rambling, but fine work nevertheless: a moving portrait of a foolish, foul-hearted, but impossibly innocent man."

title: Waleran III, Count of Ligny

text:
Waleran III of Luxembourg (1355 – 12 April 1415) Count of Ligny and Saint Pol, was a French nobleman and soldier.

Life
Waleran was the son of Guy of Luxembourg and  Mahaut of Châtillon. His name originates from the fact that he was a 5th generation descendant of Henry V, Count of Luxembourg, and thus belonged to the french branch of the House of Luxembourg.

Waleran succeeded his father in 1371, after his death at the Battle of Baesweiler. Waleran was captured at the same battle, but released through the intercession of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor. In 1374, he was captured by the English before Ardres and sent to Windsor as a prisoner. The English attempted to exchange him for Jean III de Grailly, captal de Buch, but without success. In 1380, while a captive, he married Maud Holland (d. 1392), daughter of Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent and Joan of Kent and stepdaughter of Edward, the Black Prince. This allowed him to negotiate down his ransom, and he was released soon afterwards.

After Maud's death, he married Bona of Bar (d. 1400), daughter of Duke Robert of Bar and Marie of Valois (daughter of John II of France), but they had no children. He was one of the peace commissioners sent to London in 1396, and made a futile attack on the English at Mercq near Calais in 1405.
He was of the party of Philip II, Duke of Burgundy, marrying his daughter to Philip's son Antoine. Under the Burgundians he obtained preferment, becoming Grand Maître des Eaux et Forêts, the governor of Paris in 1410, and Constable of France in 1411. However, he lost the Constableship and was driven from Paris with the rest of the Burgundians in 1413. He died in 1415 and was succeeded by his grandson Philip of Saint-Pol.

Marriage and issue
Waleran and Maud had:
Jeanne (d. 1407), who married Antoine, Duke of Brabant in 1401.

By his mistress, Agnes de Brie, Waleran had:
John, bastard of St. Pol, called Hennequin, lord of Hautbordin.(d.1466)

title: Laevapex

text:
Laevapex is a genus of small, freshwater, air-breathing limpets, aquatic pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies.

Geographic distribution
The genus has a New World distribution. It is widespread throughout the eastern United States, occurring in lakes and slow-flowing rivers.

Anatomy
These animals have a pallial lung, as do all pulmonate snails, but they also have a false gill or "pseudobranch" which can serve perfectly well as a gill when they are unable to reach the surface for air.

Members of this genus are characterised by their smooth apex.

Species
Species within the genus Laevapex include:

 Laevapex diaphanus Haldeman, 1841
 Laevapex fuscus C. B. Adams, 1841
 Laevapex peninsulae Pilsbry, 1903
 Laevapex vazi Santos, 1989

Walther (2008) considers North American Laevapex monotypic, collectively synonymising L. diaphanus, L. peninsulae and unidentified Laevapex sp. with L. fuscus, the type species.

title: Mal regulon

text:
In bacterial genetics, the mal regulon is a regulon - or group of genes under common regulation - associated with the catabolism of maltose and maltodextrins. The system is especially well characterized in the model organism Escherichia coli, where it is classically described as a group of ten genes in multiple operons whose expression is regulated by a single regulatory protein, malT. MalT binds to maltose or maltodextrin and undergoes a conformational change that allows it to bind DNA at sequences near the promoters of genes required for uptake and catabolism of these sugars. The maltose regulation system in E. coli is a classic example of positive regulation. malT is regulated by catabolite repression via the catabolite activator protein. Genes under the control of malT include ATP-binding cassette transporter components, maltoporin, maltose binding protein, and several enzymes. Other Gram-negative bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae have additional genes under the control of malT.

In many Gram-positive bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, maltose catabolism is regulated differently, via a transcriptional repressor called malR, in the lac repressor family.

title: Ashby (film)

text:
Ashby is a 2015 American crime comedy-drama film written and directed by Tony McNamara. The film stars Mickey Rourke, Nat Wolff, Emma Roberts and Sarah Silverman. The film  had its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival on April 19, 2015. The film was released in the United States in a limited release and on video on demand on September 25, 2015, by Paramount Home Media Distribution and The Film Arcade.

Plot

High-school nerd Ed Wallis (Nat Wolff) enters into a friendship with his neighbor, Ashby (Mickey Rourke), a retired CIA assassin who only has a few months to live.
The film is a coming of age/approaching death comedy drama.

Ashby initially tells Ed that he is a retired napkin salesman. Ed realizes he's more than that when he finds multiple passports with Ashby's photo, and cupboards full of weapons.

Cast

Production
In June 2014, a casting call was held for extras. On June 27, 2014, as the production began on the film, more actors joined the film which include Michael Lerner, Kevin Dunn and Zachary Knighton.

Filming
Set in Virginia, the principal photography on the film began on June 22, 2014, in Charlotte, North Carolina and lasted for five weeks. On June 23, filming took place in Matthews, North Carolina. Almost 500 extras filled the football stadium at South Mecklenburg High School to film game scenes.

Music
In October 2014, Alec Puro was hired to compose the music for the film.

Release
The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 19, 2015. In May 2015, it was announced Paramount Home Media Distribution had acquired distribution rights for North America, United Kingdom, Germany, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Benelux, and Switzerland as well as pan Asia pay TV and worldwide airlines. That same day, it was announced the film would receive an on-demand and theatrical release in fall of 2015. Paramount teamed up with The Film Arcade for US theatrical distribution. The film was released in a limited release and through video on demand on September 25, 2015.

Critical response
Ashby received mixed reviews from film critics. On Rotten Tomatoes it has an approval rating of 52%, based on 21 reviews, with an average rating of 5.51/10. On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 46 out of 100, based on 8 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a mixed review, writing: "Starring Mickey Rourke as a retired CIA assassin turned improbable mentor to Nat Wolff's next-door-neighbor misfit, Ashby is a genre jumble that makes half-baked use of high-school sports, crime comedy, teen romance and other formulae to mildly diverting ends that are never quite convincing or funny enough. Paramount launched a limited theatrical rollout on Sept. 25, simultaneous with on-demand availability, but Aussie tube scribe Tony McNamara's U.S. feature will definitely fare best as a viable if innocuous cable/rental time-filler."

Kate Erbland of The Playlist for IndieWire also gave the film a mixed review, writing: "It's inevitable that Ashby will squish together its two most important plots — Ashby's mysterious quest and Ed's attempts to be a football star — but McNamara attempts to keep the movie ticking right along, and for all its half-cocked plotlines, Ashby is able to maintain a consistently humorous and light tone. Ed and Ashby's worldview is more than a bit skewed, but so is the film's, and it works well enough to keep the film entertaining and bouncy."

Box office
The film was released on video on demand, as well as opening in 15 theaters, the film debuted with a poor weekend total of $4,631, with a per-theater average of $309.

title: Cinema of Bolivia

text:
The Cinema of Bolivia comprises the film and videos made within the nation of Bolivia or by Bolivian filmmakers abroad. Though the country's film infrastructure is too small to be considered a film industry, Bolivia has a rich film history. Bolivia has consistently produced feature-length films since the 1920s, many of which are documentary or take a documentary approach to their subject. Film historian José Sánchez-H has observed that the predominant theme of many Bolivian films is the country's indigenous cultures and political oppression.

History

The first motion picture was shown in Bolivia on June 21, 1897, probably on a Vitascope. The press paid more attention to "illicit acts" committed in the dark theater than to the pictures themselves, and authorities made it difficult to hold screenings, some of which were held in people's homes. The Biograph was introduced in 1899, and by 1905 popular exhibitions were held in La Paz. A wave of documentary films emerged in the 1910s and 1920s directed by pioneer multitalented filmmakers working in an artisanal mode. Of note is La Gloria de la Raza (1926),directed by Luis Castillo in collaboration with anthropologist Arturo Posnasky. Optical effects and miniature models were used to depict the decline and disappearance of Tiahuanaco culture, and the film helped to spur the formation of Condor Mayku Films.

The first motion picture made in Bolivia was Personajes históricos y de actualidad in 1904. The only surviving film from Bolivia's silent era is Wara Wara, directed by José Velasco Maidana in 1930. The first sound film was Infierno Verde (aka ''La Guerra del Chaco , 1936) directed by Luis Bazoberry. The first color film was Donde nace un imperio (1957) directed by Jorge Ruiz.

Instituto Cinematográfico Boliviano
The Instituto Cinematográfico Boliviano (ICB) was created in March 1953 to promote the government of Victor Paz Estenssoro in the wake of the national revolution of 1952. Waldo Cerruto was the ICB's first director. At the time, the government had a monopoly on film. The ICB created 136 newsreels between 1952 and 1956. In 1956, Jorge Ruiz became the next director of the ICB, and then was succeeded by Jorge Sanjinés in 1965. Two years later, the government shut the ICB down after Sanjinés exhibited his film Ukamau (1966), which authorities feared would incite Aymara people. Everyone involved with the film was fired, and the equipment and projects were transferred to Channel 7 - a station developed by the military government of General René Barrientos. Sanjinés and his crew founded a new group film, which they named after Ukamau.

New Bolivian Cinema
In the 1960s, Latin American cinema saw a common shift towards intellectualism and examining similar political themes, including  underdevelopment and economic strife. Following Brazil's Cinema Novo and Argentina's Third cinema, New Bolivian Cinema sought to define a national identity. Ideologically, New Bolivian Cinema sought to make film for people together with people. The movement was a rejection of Hollywood style filmmaking, and is characterized by filming at real locations, working with non-professional actors, and inexpensive equipment. Jorge Sanjinés is considered a leader of the movement, with films like Yawar Malku (1969) and La Nación Clandestina (1989) which examined the historical and current treatment of Aymara peoples. Many filmmakers battled with both censorship by government authorities and mainstream media criticism within Bolivia, which attacked the films for their leftist social critiques and for focusing on indigenous peoples. For example, in 1953 Bolivian authorities tried to block Vuelve, Sebastiana from entering the Servicio Oficial de Difusión Radiotelevisión y Espectáculos film festival because “a movie about Indians couldn’t possibly represent Bolivia in a film festival in a foreign country.” However, the Bolivian Ambassador smuggled a copy of the film and entered it into the festival, where Vuelve, Sebastiana won first prize in the festival's ethnographic category.

Law of Bolivian Film
In 1991 the Bolivian government passed a law establishing the Consejo Nacional Autónomo del Cine (CONACINE). The council's film development fund lends "up to one hundred thousand dollars for the production of films at a 7% interest rate and with only two years to pay it back." Filmmaker Jorge Ruiz felt the law was not applied effectively, and it remains difficult to secure the basic funds for film production in Bolivia.

Digital era
Bolivian cinema transformed with the advent of digital formats. Computer-based editing allowed smaller, cheaper productions to be made. This led to a jump from an average of two feature-length movies a year being produced to over a dozen in 2010. Though production budgets can be much lower than in the past, independent filmmakers still have to make sacrifices to fund their projects. Patrick Cordova, writer, director, and producer of Erase una ves en Bolivia had to sell his car to finish the film. Many of the films made are still about socialist realism, but there are also genre films and auteur cinema. Notable directors include Juan Carlos Valdivia, Eduardo López, and Alejandro Pereyra.

Accessible formats have also allowed Bolivia to foster a strong indigenous film community. The Cinematography Education and Production Center (CEFREC) is an organization dedicated to promoting film and video production among indigenous nations in Bolivia. Ian Sanjinés, Jorge Sanjinés’ son, founded the Center in 1989. CEFREC offers technical training in sound, film production, post-production, and script writing for the indigenous nations of Ayamara, Guarani, Trinitatio and Quechua. One of the indigenous filmmakers involved with CEFREC explains, “Video serves as a medium to save that which our grandparents can no longer tell.”

title: Robby Maria & The Silent Revolution

text:
Robby Maria & The Silent Revolution were a Berlin based rock band formed in 2008 by singer-songwriter Robby Maria and drummer Anni Müller. The band consisted of Robby Maria on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Anni Müller on drums and Simon Birkholz on bass. Ben Hunt on electric guitar was an on and off member of the band appearing on the band's only official album Robby Maria & The Silent Revolution.

History
The band was founded by Robby Maria and drummer Anni Müller in 2008 after the split of their former group Killmotorhill. Bass player Simon Birkholz joined the band after an open audition only a couple of months later. The trio played their first show in the Berlin club Aufsturz on January 11, 2009 and achieved cult status in the Berlin alternative music scene being known for their provoking and passionate performances.  They played more than 80 shows before breaking up after the release of their first album in 2012.

Musical style
The band developed a unique music identity based on the fact, that they were a rock band lacking an electric guitar. Singer Robby Maria recited poems during the songs and generally stood out because his wild and unpredictable behaviour on stage. Critics detected a resemblance to early performances of The Doors which was obviously intended so by the band. As the band's musical style didn't fit any categorization, Maria created the term of "Apocalyptic Folk Music" to make their style accessible to a larger audience.

text:
The tradition of Estonian animation dates back to the 1930s when the first experimental films were made. The only surviving short film from the era is Kutsu-Juku seiklusi (Adventures of Juku the dog) (1931). After the Great Depression, World War II, and Soviet Occupation interrupted its development, Estonian animation was reborn in 1958. Elbert Tuganov founded a puppet film division Nukufilm in Tallinnfilm Studio. The first film was titled Peetrikese unenägu based on a Danish writer Jens Sigsgaard's children story Palle alene i verden. Joonisfilm an 2D and 3D animation division of Tallinnfilm was founded by Rein Raamat in 1971. Films like Põld (1978), nominee for Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival in 1979; Lend (1973), the winner of Special Jury Award at the Zagreb World Festival of Animated Films; the Suur Tõll (1980), 2nd place at Ottawa International Animation Festival in 1982 and Põrgu (Hell) (1983), the winner of FIPRESCI Prize and Special Jury Award at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival made Raamat the first internationally recognized Estonian animation director.

title: Synchronization of TV transmitter and receiver

text:
In general, synchronizations is the process in which the signals are transmitted and received in accordance with the clock pulses. In synchronization of Television transmitter, a sharp pulse is sent between each video signal line so that to maintain the impeccable transmitter-receiver synchronization.
The receiver detects the video signal, synchronizing the transmitter and receiver is necessary to overcome the delay between different video packet arrivals.
The receiver must start scanning same line on the CRT output display or picture tube when the TV camera starts scanning that line, these are the horizontal lines that are being scanned.
The scanning speed of transmitter and receiver must be same so as to avoid signal distortion and deformation at the image in receiver output.
When horizontal lines are completely scanned, vertical flyback or retrace must occur simultaneously at both transmitter and receiver moving the electron beam from bottom line end to the start of the top line.
When the electron beam is returned to the left-hand side to start tracing a new line during the horizontal retrace, must occur inadvertently at both transmitter and receiver.

title: Hebetancylus excentricus

text:
Hebetancylus excentricus, the excentric ancylid, is a species of small, freshwater, air-breathing limpet, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies.

Geographic distribution
H. excentricus is widely distributed across North and Central America and the Caribbean. The main area of its North American range extends from Florida to Texas, but it has also been reported from scattered ponds and river backwaters along the length of the southern Atlantic Coastal Plain as far north as North Carolina. This pattern of contagious distribution suggests that the species is possibly being dispersed through the air by migratory waterfowl.

Habitat and ecology
H. excentricus usually occurs on rocks in fast-flowing streams and occasionally on rocks and rooted aquatic vegetation in lakes and the impounded backwaters of rivers and streams. It also occurs on submerged sticks, logs, and large items of organic debris.

Annual, bi- and trivoltine life cycles have been reported in Louisiana and Texas populations of H. excentricus; however, this increased number of generations occurs without an increase in population growth rates.

title: Charles Gibbon

text:
Charles Gibbon (1843–1890) was a British novelist specialising in popular romances.

Life
Gibbon was born in the Isle of Man, and moved with his parents to Glasgow at an early age. After receiving elementary education there, he became a clerk, and then before age 17 found a position on a local newspaper. During Charles Kean's visit to Glasgow in 1860, Gibbon wrote an account of his acting, and Kean made his acquaintance. A year or so later Gibbon moved to London.

Ill-health compelled Gibbon to spend his later years on the east coast of England, and he died at Great Yarmouth on 15 August 1890. He was married and left a family.

Works
A three-volume novel Dangerous Connexions was published by Gibbon in 1864,  which had a second edition in 1875. The Dead Heart followed in 1865, and Gibbon went on to publish some thirty novels, Robin Gray (1869; other editions 1872 and 1877) and For Lack of Gold (1871; other editions 1873 and 1877). Gibbon's Scottish novels have been compared with those of William Black. Ten novels featured "Detective Dier", a character based on Edmund Reid, who was a friend of Gibbon's. Gibbon's book The Braes of Yarrow (1881) is a historical novel about Scotland after the Battle of Flodden. By Mead and Stream (1884) is a rural romance.

Gibbon also edited The Casquet of Literature (6 vols. 1873–4), and wrote a Life (2 vols. 1878) of George Combe, in whose theories he was interested.

title: Ice Arena Wales

text:
Vindico Arena, previously referred to as Ice Arena Wales, is an ice hockey rink in the Cardiff International Sports Village in Cardiff, Wales. It opened on 12 March 2016, and had two ice rinks and seating for 3,088 spectators. The ice rink currently only has the use of one rink, with the smaller public pad leased out by Cardiff Council to Sayers.

It is home to the Cardiff Devils ice hockey team, who play in the professional British Elite Ice Hockey League, which is the top tier of ice hockey in the UK. It replaced the Cardiff Arena, which was close to the current site. The Cardiff Arena (affectionately named the Big Blue Tent) was a temporary structure, built after the Wales National Ice Rink was demolished in September 2006. The Cardiff Devils played their first game at the arena against Belfast Giants on 12 March 2016.

History

Construction

Cardiff Council had named the operator Planet Ice as the company they had chosen to build a new ice rink to replace the Cardiff Arena, which is a temporary structure in the Cardiff International Sports Village. Work was due to begin in early 2011, subject to planning, with the ice arena to be completed by February 2012. Planet Ice would have run the rink as well as design and build it.

However, by July 2011, Cardiff Council said in statement "We were unable to find the comfort that we required from them to show the ice rink would now be progressed. As a result it is being recommended that the executive cancels the current tender. Instead it is proposed to deliver a new ice arena, as a priority, within a new waterfront tender which would go out this summer." The contract to build the arena was eventually won by the Wigan-based developers, Greenbank Partnerships. The cost of the arena is approximately £16 – £17 million and will form part of a larger £250M development, which will include a 32-storey indoor ski slope which will contain a hotel and apartments, and viewing platform. The development will also contain cafes, shops, office space, apartments and townhouses.

Opening

The last game in the Cardiff Arena (also known as the Big Blue Tent) was played against Coventry Blaze on 27 February 2016. The first game in Ice Arena Wales was against Belfast Giants on 12 March 2016, with the first goal scored by Joey Martin (ice hockey) during the second period at 31:34 time played. Joey would also score the second goal at 33:37 on the way to a 5-2 Cardiff victory for the first match at the arena.

Events

Boxing
The IAW has also hosted boxing on three occasions, the first being on 16 July 2016.

MMA
The IAW has hosted 3 Cage Warriors events, starting with Cage Warriors 97 on 29 September 2018. Cage Warriors 100, and Cage Warriors 104 were also held at the Ice Arena Wales, on 8 December 2018 and 27 April 2019 respectively.

Naming rights
In November 2018, the venue was renamed the Viola Arena, after a five-year naming rights deal was signed with Bridgend based financial institution, Viola. The name reverted to Ice Arena Wales in August 2020, after Viola went into liquidation. Vindico, a south Wales based technology company, announced in May 2023 a "six-figure, five-year deal" for the venue's naming rights, renaming the venue the Vindico Arena.

title: System-1 Aira

text:
Roland System-1 is a Plug-Out Synthesizer, based on the System 100, System 100M, and the System 700.

In short, the System-1 has two oscillators to produce sounds. They can ring modulate each other. There is also an LFO to modulate the other 2 oscillators. This all can produce a wide variation of sounds.

In a mixer the sounds of the 2 oscillators can be mixed with a sub-oscillator and a noise generator; a filter-section puts an ADSR envelope (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) to the sounds. An Amp-section can influence the volume output, using an ADSR envelope too. Both ADSR are controlled each by 4 sliders.

As with the other Aira products, the System-1 has a Scatter function, which can reform the sounds to more variations.

title: Coprosma hirtella

text:
Coprosma hirtella is a shrub in the family Rubiaceae. It is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It grows to about 2 metres high and has leaves that are between 15 and 50 mm long and 10 to 25 mm wide. Plants have male and female flower clusters that appear between August and April.
These are followed by orange to reddish fruits that are 7 to 8 mm in diameter.

The species was formally described by French botanist Jacques Labillardière in 1805, based on plant specimens collected in Tasmania. It is a common plant of moist montane forests in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.

The 1889 book 'The Useful Native Plants of Australia records "Fruit sweet, eatable, not agreeable. The fruits of other species may be eaten also."
