Education in Scotland in the twentieth century includes all forms of organised education in Scotland, such as elementary, secondary and higher education. The centre of the education system became more focused on Scotland throughout the century, with the Scottish Education Department partly moving north from 1918 and new departments created by the Scottish Executive after devolution.

The Education (Scotland) Act 1872 and the abolition of school fees in 1890 meant there was a state-funded, national system of compulsory free basic education with common examinations. The Education (Scotland) Act 1918 introduced the principle of universal free secondary education, brought the Roman Catholic schools into the state system, and replaced the School Boards with 38 specialist local education authorities. These would be subsumed into local government in 1929. Unlike the Education Act 1944 in England and Wales,  the Education (Scotland) Act 1945 was a consolidation measure. Secondary education was the major area of growth, particularly for girls. Selection was ended by the Labour government in 1965. New qualifications were developed to cope with changing aspirations and economics, with the Leaving Certificate being replaced by the Scottish Certificate of Education Ordinary Grade ('O-Grade') and Higher Grade ('Higher'). In the 1980s these were replaced by the Standard Grade qualifications and the curriculum was reformed to take account of the whole range of abilities.

In the first half of the twentieth century Scottish universities fell behind those in England and Europe in terms of participation and investment. After the Robbins Report of 1963 there was a rapid expansion in higher education in Scotland. By the end of the decade the number of Scottish Universities had doubled. New universities included the University of Dundee, Strathclyde, Heriot-Watt, Stirling. From the 1970s the government preferred to expand higher education in the non-university sector and by the late 1980s roughly half of students in higher education were in colleges. Under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, the distinction between universities and colleges was removed, creating new universities at Abertay, Glasgow Caledonian, Napier, Paisley and Robert Gordon.

Organisation
The centre of the education system became more focused on Scotland throughout the century. The Scotch Education Department (SED) was officially named the Scottish Education Department and partly moved north in 1918. Its headquarters relocated to Edinburgh in 1939. In 1991 it was renamed the Scottish Office Education Department, and then in 1995 it became the Scottish Office Education and Industry Department. After devolution, in 1999 the new Scottish Executive set up a Scottish Education Department and an Enterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning Department, which together took over its functions.

Schools

The 1872 Education Act had established a system of elementary state education up until the age of 12, by taking over the schools of the Presbyterian churches and some charitable schools. The abolition of school fees in 1890 meant there was a state-funded, national system of compulsory, free, basic education with common examinations. From this point attention increasingly turned to secondary education. The Scottish Education Department introduced vocational supplementary teaching in the elementary schools, later known as advanced divisions, up until the age of 14, when pupils would leave to find work. This was controversial because it seemed to be counter the cherished principle that schooling was a potential route to university for the bright "lad o' parts". Larger urban school boards established about 200 "higher grade" (secondary) schools as a cheaper alternative to the burgh schools, most in relatively poor inner city areas. There were also about 60 secondaries established by 1900. The school leaving age was raised to 14 in 1901.

The 1918 Education (Scotland) Act introduced the principle of universal free secondary education, although due to financial crisis and resistance from the SED it took almost two decades to implement. Most of the advanced divisions of the primary schools became junior secondaries, where students received a vocationally orientated education until the age of 14. The old academies and Higher Grade schools became senior secondaries, giving a more academic education, presenting students for the leaving certificate. Selection between the two types of school was determined at age 12 by an intelligence test, the "qualifying examination", known colloquially as "the qualy". The 1918 Act brought the Roman Catholic schools into the state system, but retained their distinct religious character, access to schools by priests and the requirement that school staff be acceptable to the Church. The Act also replaced the School Boards with 38 specialist local education authorities, which were elected by a form of proportional representation in order to protect the rights of the Catholic minority. These would be subsumed into local government in 1929.

Unlike the Education Act 1944 in England and Wales, the Education (Scotland) Act 1945 was largely a consolidation measure, because universal secondary education had already been in place for over a decade. Plans to raise the school leaving age to 15 in the 1940s were never ratified, but increasing numbers stayed on beyond elementary education and it was eventually raised to 16 in 1973. As a result, secondary education was the major area of growth, particularly for girls, who stayed on in full-time education in increasing numbers throughout the century. The 1947 Report on Secondary Education by the Education Advisory Council, established by Labour minister Tom Johnston, proposed an end to selection and, although rejected by Labour and Conservative governments, became a benchmark for reform. Selection was ended by the Labour government in 1965, which recommended that councils produced one kind of comprehensive secondary school that took all the children in a given neighbourhood. By the late 1970s 75 per cent of children were in non-selective schools and by the early 1980s only the five per cent of children in private schools were subject to selection.

New qualifications were developed to cope with changing aspirations and economics, with the Leaving Certificate being replaced by the Scottish Certificate of Education Ordinary Grade ('O-Grade') and Higher Grade ('Higher') qualifications in 1962, which became the basic entry qualification for university study. In the 1980s these were replaced by the Standard Grade qualifications. The greater availability of academic qualifications encouraged students to stay on at school. In 1967 22 per cent of students stayed on beyond age 15, but by 1994 the number staying on beyond 16 was 74 per cent. The reorganisation of local government in 1975, which transferred education to nine mainland and three smaller island authorities, allowed those containing large urban centres, to redistribute resources to poorer areas, making education part of a programme of wider social reform. In the 1980s the curriculum was reformed to take account of the whole range of abilities. In 1955 only 22 per cent of pupils achieved five or more passes in ordinary grade. By 1995 the proportion achieving the equivalent in the standard grade was 55 per cent. Gender differences disappeared as girls' attainment caught up with boys in the early 1980s.

Universities

At the beginning of the century Scotland's four Ancient universities had 6,254 students. From 1901 large numbers of students received bursaries from the Carnegie Trust. By 1913 there were 7,776 students in Scottish universities. Of these 1,751 (23 per cent) were women. By the mid-1920s it had risen to a third. It then fell to 25–7 per cent in the 1930s as opportunities in school teaching, virtually the only careers outlet for female graduates in arts and sciences, decreased. No woman was appointed to a Scottish professorship until after 1945. The fall in numbers was most acute among women students, but it was part of a general trend. In the first half of the twentieth century Scottish universities fell behind those in England and Europe in terms of participation and investment. The decline of traditional industries between the wars undermined recruitment to subjects in which Scotland had been traditionally strong, such as science and engineering. English universities increased the numbers of students registered between 1924 and 1927 by 19 per cent, but in Scotland the number of full-time students fell from 10,400 in 1924 to 9,900 in 1937. In the same period, while expenditure in English universities rose by 90 per cent, in Scotland the increase was less than a third of that figure.

Before the First World War relationships between male and female students tended to be very formal, but in the inter-war years there was an increase in social activities, such as dance halls, cinemas, cafes and public houses. From the 1920s much drunken and high spirited activity was diverted into the annual charity gala or rag. Male centred activities included the Students' Union, Rugby Club and Officers' Training Corps. Women had their own unions and athletics clubs. Universities remained largely non-residential, although a few women's halls of residence were created, most not owned by the universities.

After the Robbins Report of 1963 there was a rapid expansion of higher education in Scotland. By the end of the decade the number of Scottish Universities had doubled. Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt were developed from technical colleges in 1964 and 1966, respectively, Stirling was begun as a completely new university on a greenfield site in 1966, and the University of Dundee was demerged from St. Andrews to become a separate institution in 1967. From the 1970s the government preferred to expand higher education in the non-university sector of educational and technical colleges, which were cheaper because they undertook little research. By the late 1980s roughly half of students in higher education were in colleges. In 1992, under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, the distinction between universities and colleges was removed. This created new universities at Abertay, Glasgow Caledonian, Napier, Paisley and Robert Gordon. Despite the expansion the number of male students experienced a downturn in growth from 1971 to 1990. The growth in female student numbers was much larger and continued until by 1999 and 2000 the numbers of women students exceeded male students for the first time. After devolution, one of the major diversions from practice in England was the abolition of student tuition fees in 1999, instead Scotland retained a system of means-tested student grants.

title: Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus Hockey assault

text:
The Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus Hockey Assault was an on-ice assault which took place in Charlottetown. Prince Edward Island, on February 24, 1996 during the Atlantic University Sport playoff game between the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus and the UPEI Panthers.

Incident
The game was tied 2-2 during regulation play. With 31.6 seconds remaining in the first overtime period, Tyler Ertel of UPEI fired a shot at the Aigles Bleus' net. The puck hit under the crossbar and bounced back. Initially, referee Brian Carragher did not signal a goal. After consulting the goal judge Carragher awarded the goal to UPEI, giving them the win. Video showed that the puck had likely entered the net.

Moncton goalie Pierre Gagnon grabbed Carragher and reportedly said "You blew it — you choked." Eight Aigles Bleus players backed Carragher into a corner and punched him repeatedly. Carragher was reportedly speared twice in the groin. Patrick Daviault, an assistant coach for the Aigles Bleus, pulled a metal net mooring from the ice and threw it into a pane of glass in front of the goal judge, shattering it.

Two uniformed police officers intervened as did 10 to 15 off-duty police officers who were in the stands along with 10 campus police. The incident took 20 minutes to contain.

Fallout
The Université de Moncton temporarily shut down the men's hockey program pending an investigation.

Initially Frantz Bergevin-Jean, Mathieu Bibeau and Sylvain Ducharme were suspended for five years each by Atlantic University Sport. Pierre Gagnon was suspended for two years and Phillipe Lavoie for one year.  Jean Imbeau was given a three-game suspension for throwing a stool on the ice.

On appeal the suspensions were reduced. Bibeau and Ducharme were given three-year suspensions, or two years plus 400 hours of community service. Bergevin-Jean was suspended for two years was suspended for two years or one year and 200 hours of community service. Gagnon's suspension stood at two years but he was given the option to reduce it to one year with 200 hours of community service. Lavoie's suspension was overturned as it was determined that he did not take part in the assault but actually attempted to pry his teammate away using his stick. Imbeau's three-game suspension remained in place.

Police threatened to lay charges, but this did not happen.

The Université de Moncton reinstated the hockey program in April 1996 on the recommendation of Ken Dryden who was asked to investigate the incident.

Assistant coach Patrick Daviault was fired.

title: Gaius Caristanius Fronto

text:
Gaius Caristanius Fronto was a Roman soldier and equites whom Vespasian promoted to the Roman Senate for his loyalty to the latter in the Year of Four Emperors (AD 69). He was appointed suffect consul in AD 90 as the colleague of Quintus Accaeus Rufus.

In the words of G.L. Cheesman, Caristanius Fronto came of a family "of Italian origin, but had never risen into prominence there. One of its members was presumably enrolled in the army during the civil wars, and included among the veterans settled in the 'colonia' at Antioch", that is Antioch in Pisidia Other inscriptions there attest to an ancestor with a similar name, Gaius Caristanius Fronto Casesianus Julius. Casesianus Julius was the representative of Publius Sulpicius Quirinius, the titular duumvir of the colonia, and Cheesman surmises that Casesianus Julius participated in the war against the Homonadesians who had settled in the Taurus Mountains between Attaleia and Ikonion, a war that Quirinius brought to a successful conclusion. Cheesman dates Quirinius' role in this conflict to between 8 and 6 BC, which gives an approximate date for Caseianus Julius.

Life
An inscription found Antioch in Pisidia, provides us information about Caristanius Fronto's career. After holding a local magistracy in Antioch, Fronto proceeded through the steps of the equestrian tres militiae: first prefect or commander of an infantry cohort; commissioned tribunus angusticlavius with an unnamed legion; lastly as prefect of the ala I Bosporanorum, an auxiliary unit raised from natives of the Bosporus. There are two known alae, one stationed in Dacia, the other which had been transferred to Syria some point between the reigns of Tiberius and Nero, and it is unknown which Fronto commanded; Bernard Rémy believes Fronto commanded the one stationed in Syria.

Fronto's promotion to the Senate was in two steps: first he was adlected inter tribunicos, that is, with the rank of having been plebeian tribune; then advanced to praetorian rank. His advancement excused him from the expenses of the praetorship, foremost of which were sponsoring the ludi or public games, which was a considerable expense: one inscription records that for three of the six ludi the state allocated over 1,600,000 sesterces for them, and praetors were expected to match or exceed this amount with their contributions. Promoting Fronto to the Senate in two steps was an unusual approach; all but one other man Vespasian is known to have adlected to the Senate were directly adlected inter praetorios. George W. Houston's study of Vespasian's adlection of men into the Senate shows that the emperor followed the leges annorum for the traditional magistracies, and suggests that at the time Vespasian promoted Fronto to the Senate (either in 74 or 75) Fronto was not yet 30 the age required by law to be praetor. Once Fronto reached that age, however, the emperor promoted him to the rank of having held that magistracy.

After this followed an appointment as legatus or assistant to the proconsular governor of Bithynia et Pontus in the 70s, which was a Senatorial province at the time; Rémy suggests the governor was Marcus Salvidienus Proculus. Next Caristanius served as legatus legionis or commander of the Legio IX Hispana. Worthy of note is that the inscription from Antioch mentions the province the IX Hispana was stationed in, Roman Britain. Rémy notes that of all the known inscriptions recording careers, only 13 indicate the province where the unit was located; this led Rémy to argue that Caristanius was the first man from Anatolia to command a legion in Britain, if not the Western part of the Empire. Birley believes this was from about 76 to 79, during the administrations of Sextus Julius Frontinus and Agricola. Afterwards, Caristanius served as governor of Lycia et Pamphylia from 81 to 84 according to Werner Eck, dates that Rémy concurs with. There is a gap of 6 years between the date Fronto stepped down as governor of Lycia et Pamphylia and when he was suffect consul; Rémy notes that typically the former governors of this province immediately advanced to the consulate, or within two or three years, and explains this abnormality by noting that under Domitian a long interval between praetorship and consulate was the rule in Senatorial careers.

A fragmentary inscription found near Synnada led Cheesman to suggest Caristanius might have been Proconsul of Asia. However, Rémy argues that it only proves he owned property near that town, and concludes "Under Nerva and Trajan, he may have lost Imperial favor."

Family
An inscription in Greek found at Antioch in Pisidia provides us the name of his wife. her name was formerly  read as Sergia L. f. Paulla, a possible daughter of Lucius Sergius Paullus, curatores riparum et alvei Tiberis during the reign of Claudius. However, in a re-examination of the evidence Michel Christol and Thomas Drew-Bear found an unpublished inscription which attests that her name was Calpurnia Paulla Calpurni Longi filia, the daughter of a Calpurnis Longus also mentioned in the Greek Antiochan text.

Fronto is known to have two sons, Fronto and Paulinus. Gaius Caristanius Julianus, proconsul of Achaea around 101, was either Fronto's younger brother or a cousin.

title: Vesti FM

text:
Vesti FM () is a radio station based in Russia and owned by VGTRK. It started broadcasting on 5 February 2008, at 6:00 am Moscow Time. The station is included in the first multiplex of digital television in Russia using DVB-T2 technology.

Vesti FM is described as a pro-Russian government broadcasting network.

History
The station began broadcasting on 5 February 2008, in Moscow on 97.6 MHz. At first the station broadcast only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, it now broadcasts to more than sixty regions of Russia.

Transmitters
At the end of the 1960s, the USSR began to build a powerful transmitter site for propaganda to Western countries in Grigoriupol in the Maiac region of So called Transnistria. The "Moldovan Republic of Pridniestrov" (Transnistria) sold the facility to the Russian state media company RIA Novosti in 2007. The Russian Federation mandated the Vesti FM to also broadcast over Grigoriupol's powerful medium-wave transmitters.

Vesti FM started broadcasting on 1413 kHz with 500 KW power from 2014, just before the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War. The transmitter thus reached not only the entire Ukraine, but also a large part of Eastern and Western Europe without any problems.

In the early morning of 26 April 2022 one of multiple antenna system of Vesti FM was blown up by unknown persons. However the MW station on 1413 kHz is still working.

title: Dan Gernatt Farms

text:
Dan Gernatt Farms is a dairy farming, and horse breeding and racing enterprise, located in the Western New York town of Collins. Daniel R. Gernatt, Sr. and Flavia C. (Schmitz) Gernatt co-owned and established Dan Gernatt Farms in 1938. They built up their farming business, being recognized in the 1950s as having the largest milking dairy herd in Erie County.

In the 1960s, the Gernatt's transitioned their dairy farming business to one of breeding and racing Standardbred horses with the purchase of Lieutenant Gray. Many of the Gernatt's harness racing horses had the last name, 'Collins,' reflecting the locale in which they were born. Among some of the Gernatt's top money-winning horses were Gallo Blue Chip, Bye Tsem (formerly Holden S. Collins), Vernon Blue Chip, Roz T. Collins, Adios Bob, Sir Taurus, Lotto S. Collins, and Elitist.

The Gernatt's established themselves in horse breeding and harness racing throughout a period of three decades, and wound down their horse business in the mid-1990s.

Dairy farming

Dan Gernatt Dairy Farms was established in 1938 by Daniel R. Gernatt, Sr., and Flavia C. (Schmitz) Gernatt in Collins, New York. In the 1950s, the dairy farming enterprise was recognized as the largest in Erie County. As Gernatt's farming business expanded, it was later known as Dan Gernatt Farms. The Gernatt's left dairy farming in the 1960s. Hauling grain as a result of the farming enterprise led to trucking sand and gravel from the Gernatt's property, thus leading to the establishment of the Gernatt Family of Companies, now a group of 11 mining companies, headquartered in Collins.

Horse breeding and harness racing

Background
The Gernatt's partnered with each other in breeding and racing Standardbred horses, beginning in 1960.  The harness racing horses were known throughout New York State, New Jersey, and Ontario, Canada.  During a golfing vacation to Pinehurst, North Carolina in 1962, Daniel R. Gernatt, Sr. bought a half-interest in Lieutenant Gray for $2,750.  The horse's good racing performance caused Gernatt to purchase brood mares with foals shortly thereafter, thus beginning the Gernatt's horse breeding and racing ventures. The Gernatt's established themselves in horse breeding and harness racing throughout a period of three decades.

New York horse breeding program
During the 1970s and the 1980s, the Gernatt family was active in horse breeding. In 1984, the Gernatt's horse business included "250 mares, stallions, young stock and race horses; a training facility on Mile Strip Road in the Town of Brant; a broodmare barn in North Collins; a second farm in the town of Dayton;" and stallion barns in Collins.  At that time, the Gernatt's had sold more than 1,000 Standardbred horses with the last name Collins, so dubbed for the town in which they were born. Dan Gernatt's grandson, Russell Rebmann, partnered in overseeing operations. Chuck Scibetta trained the horses and Dave Vance was the driver at various horse racing tracks.

New York Sires Stakes circuit
In the New York Sires Stakes circuit, the Gernatt's broodmare herd produced champions such as Gallo Blue Chip, with $4.2 million in total winnings; Bye Tsem (formerly known as Holden S. Collins) ($515,194), Vernon Blue Chip ($542,816), and Roz T. Collins ($410,653) were the top trotters. In 2000, Gallo Blue Chip won the Meadowlands Pace horse race at the Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey with a time of 1:50.4. The same year, he also won the Breeder's Crown Three-Year-Old Colt and Gelding Pace at Mohawk Racetrack in 1:51.1. In 2005, Gallo Blue Chip retired "as the sport's leading money winning pacer." In 1994, Bye Tsem raced in the second division of the Hambletonian Stakes. In 1982, Roz T. Collins placed third in the Hambletonian Stakes at the Meadowlands Racetrack. Gernatt's horses also raced at the Buffalo Raceway, Syracuse Mile, Vernon Downs, Pompano, Greenwood Raceway in Toronto, and Brandywine in Yonkers. At the Yonkers Raceway in 1999, the Dan Gernatt Farms Pace for three-year-old fillies was held on the 10th annual New York Night of Champions.

Sir Taurus
The Gernatt's were Sir Taurus' co-breeders, and stood him as stud for four years before he went to Blue Chip Farms in 1992. As of 1989, Sir Taurus' winnings were $484,810, after racing only in 1986 and 1987. Sir Taurus was co-holder of a world record for three-year-old colt trotters on a half-mile track with a time of 1:57.2h; and had set six track records throughout New York State at that time. Sir Taurus' trainer and driver was Jimmy Takter. An easygoing horse with a gentle nature, Sir Taurus turned 30 in 2014 and remains at Blue Chip Farms, now retired, providing school children and scouts with opportunities to visit him. Of Sir Taurus' nearly 700 offspring, Approved Action earned the most in winnings with $715,676. Sir Taurus' offspring have earned $23.7 million in combined winnings. Of all offspring of Sir Taurus (with Amanda T. Collins, a daughter of Texas), Red Hot Blue Chip sold for the most money at $52,000 in 1999.  The Yonkers Raceway annually holds the Sir Taurus Trot for Standardbred harness racing.

Elitist
The Gernatt's also sponsored the privately held $100,000 Elitist Cup from 1987 to 1992.  The races were to benefit those horses sired by Elitist when he was held as stud by Dan Gernatt Farms.  Elitist was another stallion owned by the Gernatt's, producing some top race times that included 1:56.1; 1:55.3; and 1:54.3. In only two years of racing in the late 1980s, Elitist won $249,363.  Elitist was sire to several of the Gernatt's horses, including Walt Collins (1:56.3); Tru Elitist (1:55.4); and Bonny Brook Elitist (1:56.1).  Elitist's foals were also eligible to be included in the $12 million New York Sires Program at that time.

Other notable horses
There were other notable horses that the Gernatt's owned, as well. Adios Bob earned $330,364 in five years of racing.  Texas was a stallion that stood as stud for Gernatt, being syndicated for $1 million.  Inflation Collins, Jolly Roger, Dallas T. Collins, Most Happy Fella (1967) (1:55) ($419,033), What Wheel, and Lotto S. Collins (1:55.4) ($273,055) were also popular horses of the Gernatt's.

Horse sales
In 1984, Daniel R. Gernatt, Sr. stated that all of the horses that were part of Dan Gernatt Farms were for sale.  By 1994, he stated that horse racing was "no longer economically viable."  He stated that a horse from his farm needed to be sold for at least $4,000 in order to break even, and many horses were not being sold for that amount.  Additionally, he referenced that the purse for racing a horse at the Buffalo Raceway had decreased from $1,200 to $1,000 from the 1960s to the 1990s.  In 1994, the Gernatt's were making the last of their horse sales, winding down their horse business.

Industry ranking
Dan Gernatt Farms was ranked 59th in the industry in 1995. It was ranked 43rd in North America in 1996 by the United States Trotting Association, being identified with receiving $758,010 in winnings from horse races.

Legal issues
In 1976, the Iroquois Gas Corporation sued Dan Gernatt Farms for an underground gas storage violation pursuant to laws protecting rights of Native American lands.

title: Syamsul Alam

text:
Sultan Syamsul Alam (died after 1727) was the twenty-second Sulṭān of Acèh Darussalam in northern Sumatra. He ruled from 1726 to 1727 and was the fourth and last ruler of the Arabic Jamal ul-Lail Dynasty.

Originally called Wandi Tebing, he was the nephew of Sultan Jamal ul-Alam Badr ul-Munir. The three constituent regions (sagi) of Aceh rebelled against Jamal ul-Alam who was deposed in November 1726. One of his counselors, Jauhar ul-Alam took the throne but died after a very brief reign. Seven days later Wandi Tebing was placed on the throne under the name Sultan Syamsul Alam, being supported by the mukims (districts) Montassik, Lamcampuk, Hoho and Piëng. However, not all the chiefs approved of this. After 30 days the three sagis unanimously offered the throne to the Buginese commander of the fortress in the capital, Maharaja Lela. Maharaja Lela accepted the offer and Syamsul Alam was deposed in January 1727. His later life is not recorded in.

title: Athanasius VI bar Khamoro

text:
Athanasius VI bar Khamoro was the Patriarch of Antioch, and head of the Syriac Orthodox Church from 1091 until his death in 1129.

Biography
Abu al-Faraj was born in the 11th century in the city of Amid into the Camra family, and went on to become a monk at the Monastery of Mar Barsoum where he studied Syriac, Arabic and religious sciences under Dionysius Modyana. In March 1091, al-Faraj was elected as patriarch by the Holy Synod but humbly refused. Nine months later, the metropolitan bishops, with the assistance of Gabriel of Melitene, forced al-Faraj to become patriarch against his will and was consecrated Patriarch of Antioch in December 1091. Upon his consecration, al-Faraj took the name Athanasius. In c. 1096, Athanasius sought the support of Caliph Al-Mustazhir against 'Abdur, who claimed to be patriarch.

Following the death of the archbishop of Edessa in 1101, the patriarch, like other medieval patriarchs of the Middle East, had no fixed see and thus planned to establish himself in the city. The Syriac Orthodox population of Edessa, however, requested to elect their own bishop, to which Athanasius agreed on the condition that gospel books that had belonged to a previous patriarch were returned. An agreement was reached and the patriarch ordained Abu Ghalib bar Sabuni as bishop of Edessa, assuming the name Basil, and was thereafter known as Basil II. However, a certain priest known as Abun had sold the copies and used the proceeds for bribes. Those who had bought the copies refused to return them and Bar Sabuni informed Athanasius of his predicament. Athanasius responded with the deposition of Bar Sabuni and ordination of a certain Ignatius as bishop of Edessa in December 1101. The conflict divided the Syriac Orthodox population of Edessa between supporters of the patriarch and supporters of the bishop, who continued to ordain priests and gained the support of Baldwin II, Count of Edessa.

Several crusader and Syriac Orthodox delegations were sent to petition Athanasius and gain a pardon for Bar Sabuni, to no avail. A delegation of Bishop Dionysius bar Modyana of Melitene and 70 Syriac Orthodox community leaders that met with Athanasius at the Monastery of Mar Barsoum was also unsuccessful, following which, Athanasius deposed Dionysius bar Modyana for supporting Bar Sabuni. Bar Sabuni sought the aid of Bernard of Valence, Latin Patriarch of Antioch, who invited Athanasius to Antioch to discuss the conflict. At the Cathedral of St Peter, during discussions between the parties, a translator misinterpreted Athanasius to suggest the conflict was based on money, leading Bernard to believe Athanasius practised simony, for which the patriarch and bishop were both beaten.

The crusaders allowed the patriarch to go to the Syriac Orthodox Church of the Mother of God in Antioch, but was forbidden from leaving the city until a solution to the conflict had been found. Athanasius bribed Roger of Salerno, regent of the Principality of Antioch, to allow him to leave the city and travel to the Monastery of Qanqart, southwest of Amid, and outside of crusader territory. The patriarch ordered the closure of the Syriac Orthodox cathedral of Edessa, exacerbating tensions and led to fights between the two factions. In 1112, Athanasius consecrated Mor Dionysius Mosa as maphrian. The patriarch is known to have excommunicated and deposed the bishop of Segestan.

A dispute between the Camra and the Qarya family of Qanqart over the ownership of certain properties arose. The Qarya family lodged a complaint against the patriarch with the governor of Amid, to which Athanasius responded with the excommunication of Deacon Isaac, a member of the family. The governor of Amid was angered by Athanasius' refusal to pardon the deacon and the patriarch was only able to leave the monastery with the aid of Joscelin I, who threatened to destroy the city of Amid if Athanasius was not permitted to leave. Athanasius travelled to Turbessel to thank Joscelin, after which he returned to the Monastery of Mar Barsoum. On 2 June 1129, the patriarch suffered a stroke during service and died 6 days later on 8 June at the Monastery of Mar Barsoum, where he is buried.

As patriarch, Athanasius was known for collecting precious books which he took with him with wherever he travelled. Athanasius was also criticised for his harsh treatment of his subordinates. During his reign as patriarch he ordained sixty-one metropolitans and bishops before his death.

title: Formula 3 (band)

text:
Formula 3 (also spelled as Formula Tre) is an Italian pop-rock musical group, mainly successful in the early 1970s.

History
The group formed in 1969 as a power trio with Alberto Radius on guitar, vocals and bass, Gabriele Lorenzi on keyboards and bass, and Tony Cicco on drums and vocals. Produced by Lucio Battisti, they supported Battisti in his rare live concerts. Their first hit was the song "Questo folle sentimento", which peaked at number five in the Italian charts in 1970. It was followed by a series of top 20 hits, notably "Io ritorno solo" (number 3)  and "Eppur mi son scordato di te" (number 2), all composed by Battisti with his writing partner Mogol. In 1971 they entered the Sanremo Music Festival with Little Tony with the song "La folle corsa". The group disbanded in 1974 with each member pursuing a solo career. They reunited in 1990 and entered the Sanremo Music Festival two more times in 1992 and 1994 with the songs "Un frammento rosa" and "La casa dell'imperatore". In 1992, Gabriele Lorenzi left the band and retired from the music industry to open a restaurant in Livorno. He was replaced first by Andrea Pistilli, then Maurizio Metals and, since 2013, Ciro Di Bitonto.

title: Dutton S. Peterson

text:
Dutton Stiles Peterson (December 10, 1894 – October 20, 1964) was an American Methodist minister and politician from New York.

Background
He was born in Costello, Potter County, Pennsylvania. His father, Chris Peterson, was an immigrant from  Holla, Telemark, Norway.
The family removed in 1911 to Steuben County, New York. In 1917, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and fought in World War I in France. After the war he graduated from Practical Bible Training School (now Davis College) in 1922 and King's School of Oratory.
He graduated B.A. from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1924; and from Boston University School of Theology in 1927. He became a Methodist minister, and was the pastor of the Methodist Church in Odessa, Schuyler County, New York, from 1937 to 1960.

The 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League group stage was played from August 5 to October 23, 2014. A total of 24 teams competed in the group stage to decide the eight teams which advanced to the championship stage of the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League.

Draw
The draw for the group stage was held on May 28, 2014, 19:00 EDT (UTC−4), at the InterContinental Hotel at Doral in Miami.

The 24 teams were drawn into eight groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots. The allocation of teams into pots was based on their national association and qualifying berth. Teams from the same association could not be drawn with each other in the group stage, and each group was guaranteed to contain a team from either the United States or Mexico, meaning U.S. and Mexican teams could not play each other in the group stage.

Seeding
The following were the group stage seeding of the 24 teams which qualified for the Champions League:

Notes

Format
In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners of each group advanced to the championship stage.

Tiebreakers

Greater number of points earned in matches between the teams concerned;
Greater goal difference in matches between the teams concerned;
Greater number of goals scored away from home in matches between the teams concerned;
Reapply first three criteria if two or more teams are still tied;
Greater goal difference in all group matches;
Greater number of goals scored in group matches;
Greater number of goals scored away in all group matches;
Drawing of lots.

Groups
The matchdays were August 5–7, August 19–21, August 26–28, September 16–18, September 23–25, and October 21–23, 2014.

title: Graham Simpson (doctor)

text:
Graham Simpson is a medical doctor and advocate of “natural” and proactive medicine and health. He graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand Medical School in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is board certified in internal medicine and emergency medicine. He was also a founding member of the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA).

Simpson was the founder and medical director of Eternity Medicine Institute (EMI) in Dubai, reportedly the only clinic in the UAE to offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT),  and the first clinic in the Gulf region to open a compounding pharmacy. Dr. Simpson has since moved his practice, Eternity Medicine, to Henderson, Nevada where he focuses on reversing diabesity.  A BHRT expert and an advocate of natural progesterone, he questions the use of synthetic or artificial hormones as replacement therapy.

Promoting a holistic approach to living and to maintaining good health, Simpson suggests that “inner peace” can have healing properties and blames grudges and hostility for the “release of histamines, which can trigger severe broncho-constriction in people with asthma, and can also cause chemical changes in the body that increase the risk of heart disease.”

Simpson also cites the "Western diet" and its high glycemic index as the cause of silent inflammation as the cause of "life-altering illness" and advocates following a Paleo diet or Keto diet to manage and prevent "health problems of epidemic proportion". His latest book, 4 Week Diabesity Cure: Cure Diabetes and Lose Weight in Weeks With a Keto Diet and Intermittent Fasting details how the Western diet is responsible for the greatest health crisis currently effecting the world and offers steps on how to overcome this dilemma.

Dr. Simpson has co-authored a book on Spa Medicine: Your Guide to the Ageless Zone in which he discusses the Four Pillars of Wellness: detoxification, nutrition, exercise and mind-body health as well as authored WellMan: Live Longer by Controlling Inflammation, emphasizes the key to successful aging is the control of hidden or silent inflammation that occurs primarily from lifestyle and diet choices.

title: Hőgyész

text:
Hőgyész ( or ) is a village in Tolna County, Hungary. It is the birthplace of the Slovak Impressionist painter Jozef Teodor Mousson and has a large castle of the Apponyi family.

The Hőgyész domain in Tolna County was acquired in 1722 by Count Claude Florimond de Mercy, and purchased by Count György Apponyi (1736-1782) in 1772. It was rebuilt in the late 18th century by György's son, Count Antal György Apponyi, who spent much of his later life there. The castle later went to Antal George's grandson Károly Apponyi (1805-1890), his son Géza (1853-1927) and the latter's son Károly (1878-1959) who sold it to the Hungarian state in 1939. During and after World War II it became a center for displaced people and military hospital, and later a school. It was privatized in 1999 and renovated into a luxury hotel, but was embroiled in the troubles of controversial financier Ghaith Pharaon which led to its closing in the 2010s.

title: Eilif Dahl

text:
Eilif Dahl (7 December 191617 March 1993) was a Norwegian botanist and politician for the Labour Party.

He was born in Kristiania. His interest in lichens started with an early friendship he developed with Professor Bernt Lynge. Thanks to Lynge, Dahl was able to take part in the 1936 Heimland botanical expedition to eastern Svalbard and Kong Karls Land, and then a Danish-Norwegian expedition to Greenland the next year. His collections from these excursions were used as part of his cand. real. thesis that he presented to the University of Oslo in 1942. According to Hildur Krog, his most important lichenological contribution was his 1950 work Studies in the Macrolichen Flora of SW Greenland, which was a revised version of his thesis.

Dahl was appointed professor of botany at the Norwegian College of Agriculture from 1965. His research interests centered on Arctic plants and lichen, plant geography and ecology. He was also a politician for the Labour Party, where he was a board member from 1965 to 1977. During the German occupation of Norway he took part in resistance work, and was a member of the clandestine intelligence organization XU. After fleeing to neutral Sweden and later to the United Kingdom, he served with the Norwegian High Command in London.

The lichen genus Eilifdahlia, and its type species, Eilifdahlia dahlii, are both named in his honour.

Cloughbawn GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the Clonroche, County Wexford, Ireland. The club is primarily concerned with the game of hurling. The club is most famous for its "three in a row" in 2016, making it to the senior hurling final, junior hurling final and intermediate A football, losing out in all three.

Overview

History
In the Autumn of 1917 a number of young hurlers got together after a mummers ball in Forrestalstown and  decided that there should be a club formed and entered a team in the 1918 championship; this club was to be known as Cloughbawn. While they already had a club in existence in the top end of the parish known as Killegney, it did not cater for the whole of the parish.

title: Pietro Montana

text:
Pietro Montana (June 29, 1890 – July 6, 1978) was a 20th-century Italian-American sculptor, painter and teacher, noted for his war memorials and religious works.

Biography

He was born in Alcamo, Sicily, the third of six children of Ignazio and Marianna Montana. The family emigrated to the United States in 1904, and settled in Brooklyn, New York City. As a teen, he apprenticed under a photographer, then started his own photography studio in the family home. He attended night classes for six years at the School of Art, Cooper Union, studying under George Thomas Brewster and graduating in 1915. He also studied at the Mechanics Institute.

He made a spectacular professional debut with Fighting Doughboy, the winner in a 1919 war memorial design competition sponsored by the Unity Republican Club of Brooklyn. Rather than a conventional passive figure, he modeled an aggressive soldier with clenched fist, ready to throw a punch. The lifesize sculpture was unveiled in Heisser Park on November 20, 1921. Bronze replicas are in North Arlington, New Jersey; and Alliance, Ohio. Zinc replicas, cast by the J. W. Fiske Architectural Metals Company of New York City, are in Riverdale, New Jersey; Suffern, New York; and elsewhere.

That same year he unveiled a traditional Beaux Arts sculpture for Brooklyn's Freedom Square Park – Victory with Peace – a classical nike (winged goddess), but one who holds aloft an olive branch, instead of a sword.

His next commission, The Dawn of Glory, probably is his most famous work. It depicts the soul of a dead soldier wrapped in an American Flag ascending to heaven. The sculpture is a one-and-one-half-lifesize nude, and the bodybuilder Charles Atlas (born Angelo Siciliano) posed for it. It was unveiled in Brooklyn's Highland Park on July 13, 1924.

His Minute Man sculpture for the World War I memorial in East Providence, Rhode Island, is even more intimidating than Fighting Doughboy. The physicality of the soldier is striking – the model may have been Charles Atlas, again – and the knife he clutches (now broken) along with his slashed trousers and wounded thigh suggest that he has just emerged as victor from bloody hand-to-hand combat. The monument was dedicated on July 30, 1927.

His last large-scale war memorial was for the town of Mirabella Imbaccari, Sicily, and was commissioned by Sicilian-Americans living in New York City. It features a bronze, one-and-one-half-lifesize centurion – nude, but for belt, helmet and cape – who protects and comforts a clothed woman collapsed at his feet. Monumento ai Caduti (Monument to the Fallen) was unveiled in 1938, almost twenty years after the end of World War I.

He modeled a bust of Italian engineer Guglielmo Marconi for the 1939 New York World's Fair, and later donated it to the Engineers' Hall of Fame.

Montana co-founded the Leonardo da Vinci School of Art in the late-1920s, where he taught for several years. In the 1930s, he taught at the Roerich Academy of Arts. As artist-in-residence at Fordham University from 1947 to 1952, he taught painting and sculpture, and executed a number of school commissions. Most notable among these are the fourteen Stations of the Cross bas-relief panels in the University Chapel, which feature half-lifesize figures carved out of white oak.

He created commemorative medallions, including two sets of religious medallions for the Franklin Mint. Copies of his 1957 St. Francis of Assisi medallion for the Society of Medalists are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and other museums.

Honors

He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts — 1919, 1920, 1924, 1930–1936, 1943–1948; the National Academy of Design — 1918, 1919, 1921, 1931 (Gold Medal for Orphans); the Allied Artists of America — 1932–1949 (Gold Medals 1942 & 1949); and elsewhere.

He was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design in 1968, and an academician in 1970. He was also a member of the National Sculpture Society and the Allied Artists of America.

He received the Daniel Chester French Medal for Religious Sculpture, the Allied Artists of America Award, the Medal of Honor of the Catholic Fine Arts Society and the award of the National Academy of Design.

Personal

He became a naturalized American citizen in 1921. He married Alfrieda Kramer on April 3, 1930, and they lived in Brooklyn, and later Manhattan. The couple moved to Rome, Italy in 1962, where they resided until Alfrieda's death in 1975. Montana returned to the United States and lived with a niece in Bayville, New York.

Late in life, he donated many of his smaller works to Fordham University and to Capital University, in Columbus, Ohio. He donated his papers to the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution. A year before his death, he completed an autobiography.

The Pietro and Alfrieda Montana Memorial Prize is awarded annually by the National Sculpture Society.

title: Suitcase (Mary J. Blige song)

text:
"Suitcase" is a song by American recording artist Mary J. Blige. It was co-written by Mark J. Feist, Crystal Nicole, and Adrian Sotomayor, and produced by the former for Blige's soundtrack album Think Like a Man Too (2014), recorded for the comedy film of the same name. Sent as the album's lead and only single for urban contemporary and urban adult contemporary airplay in the US on June 10, 2014, following the release of the buzz track "A Night to Remember", it reached the top 30 on the US Adult R&B Songs chart.

Background
On May 30, 2014, it was announced that Blige had recorded an entire collection of music from and inspired by Tim Story's comedy film Think Like a Man Too, the sequel to Story's 2012 film Think Like a Man based on Steve Harvey's book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. Comprising 14 new recordings, including a remake of Shalamar's hit "A Night to Remember" as well as collaborations with musicians Jerry Duplessis, Rodney Jerkins and Pharrell Williams, Blige primarily worked with frequent contributors Tricky Stewart and The-Dream, who produced the bulk of the album.

While the soundtrack was nearing completion, producer Mark J. Feist was able to submit one of his demo records. After working on different track ideas, Feist traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to work with upcoming singer Crystal Nicole. During that particular visit, the pair penned "Suitcase", which resulted from them "trying to write a bunch of female empowerment records." Written in an hour and a half, Feist further elaborated on the writing process with Nicole: "We just sat there in her basement and she had a pen in her hand and she sung me a hook, a verse and then I jumped up and down, screaming 'That's it, that's it' and then we cut it." Once the demo of "Suitcase" was completed, Epic Records head L.A. Reid became instrumental in getting Blige on it.

Music video
The music video for "Suitcase" was directed by Mike Ho. In the clip, with mascara running down her eyes, a teary-eyed and disheveled Blige sits in an all-white room while being observed by men in lab coats. Her man, played by actor Christian Keyes, stands on the other side of the glass as she reflects on all the heartache he has caused her.
