From 1972 to 1979 he studied pedagogy and psychology at Frankfurt University and completed his doctoral thesis on Jacques Lacan.

text:
Vennira Iravuggal () is a 2014 Malaysian Tamil romantic comedy film written, directed and produced by R.Perakas. Starring Vikadakavi Magen in the lead role with Sangeeta Krishnasamy.

Ramesh & his sidekick rag junior female students but Ramesh soon begins to have a different attitude to a freshie, Megala. They soon get together to the extent that she begins to have full faith in him in spite of her friends warning her to be careful. Ramesh suddenly vanishes taking Megala's money by using her bank card & runs off to Myanmar. Megala goes in search of Ramesh, determined to get her money back.

Megala takes a (physical) journey (all the way to an impoverished Indian community in Myanmar). A logline that appears on the poster is:
When are you going to pay me back?
This is her personal objective in the film (one which is also paralleled with
Ramesh's father who is also concerned with money).

Through her adventures & misadventures in Myanmar, Megala discovers that Ramesh is not all that he has made himself out to be. Another logline for the film is:
She came for money, she got her money but love conquered the money                                   The grammar may be a little loose but we get the message! At the end of the film, she demands the interest for the money owed to her by Ramesh but we know now

title: Little Cockup

text:
Little Cockup is a fell in the Northern Fells area of the Lake District, Cumbria, England. It is located in the Uldale Fells, about  north of Skiddaw, near the larger fell of Great Cockup  to the east, and has an elevation of . Another hill called plain Cockup is about  to the south.

Information
Little Cockup is located near the Great Cockup fell and was given its name of Little Cockup to distinguish it from Great Cockup. The name "Cockup" derives from the words in the Old English language for a secluded valley and Black Grouse. Little Cockup has an elevation of .

Little Cockup is smaller and lower than Great Cockup, which is . Little Cockup is often used by fellwalkers and hikers as part of one of several routes to ascend Great Cockup. There is no path up Little Cockup, and walkers have to go through patches of bracken on the way up. There is a circular stone ledge near the top of the fell and on the summit is a cairn with common heather growing around it. Great Cockup and Bassenthwaite Lake can be seen from its summit.

In popular culture
Little Cockup has been referred to in an edition of Punch magazine and was also mentioned in Alfred Wainwright's walking guidebooks about the Lake District alongside Great Cockup. In 2011, Business Weekly published a news story suggesting that the Government of the United Kingdom's Department for Business, Innovation and Skills' Technology Strategy Board was considering investing in nearby towns and the area around Little Cockup.

Because the name of Little Cockup is a double entendre, it is often included on lists of rude-sounding place names.

title: Great Hammam of Pristina

text:
The Great Hammam of Pristina (, ,  / ) is one of the few Ottoman-era monuments in Pristina, Kosovo. Hammams are also known as Turkish baths. It was built in the 15th century and was part of the Imperial Mosque (Pristina). During the summer and spring, it was used as a meeting place. Considered one of the most important buildings of the cultural and historical heritage, the Great Hammam of Pristina was in poor condition through the years until the approval of its restoration.

The hammam is currently under restoration and it is planned to become the Museum of Pristina. The building is owned by the Municipality of Pristina and is under the protection of the Republic of Kosovo. It has been part of the cultural heritage per the decision of the Minister Memli Krasniqi of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, since October 2012. But, before that, the Kosovo War, in 1985 the hammam was considered a protected monument by the law "Protection of the Monument" number 19/77, according to the architect Nol Binakaj. According to him, even though the hammam is different a lot from the original version, only the east part of the building and the main face of the building have been changed. The rest of the building has remained the same. It is a symbol of the old Pristina, together with the Clock Tower, Çarshia Mosque, Academy building, Fatih Mosque and others.

Origin
The Great Hammam of Pristina was built in the second half of the 15th century and it was one of the first Ottoman objects to be built in the Republic of Kosovo. It is known as a part of the Sultan Mehmet Fatih Mosque, named after Mehmed the Conqueror. The hammam was visited by residents of Pristina as a place to meet and socialize for many generations, until the 1970s. or the 1960s according to the architect Nol Binakaj from the Housing Development and Management-Lund University. According to the legend, the builders who were part of the constructions were obliged by Sultan Mehmet al-Fatih to wash themselves in the Hammam, twice a day.

Architecture
The Great Hammam of Pristina is considered as a double hammam, because it has separate sections for men and women. It is approximately 800 m2 and has a quadrant shape. It has both a hot room and a cold room. The hot room has 16 domes, each containing 15 holes. On one of the domes, the middle hole is in the shape of either the Star of David or the shape of a regular pentagram. The use of these holes is that the hammam inside could be enlightened. The other use of the holes is to keep the hammam warm. The "hot section" of the hammam, includes the so-called  "baths of the hammam". This room was heated with steam from hypocausts. The hypocausts were under the floor, which was marble.  The building's walls are made of stone, on the other hand, the domes are made of bricks and were covered with bad sheets. The interior, however, was plastered with a traditional mortar called "horasan." The "horasan" is known to be resistant to humidity. This building, in general, has regular shaped stones, which are carved in their corners and are linked with lime mortar. The "cold part" as it was known, was covered by four domes, but no sign of this kind of construction was found. The Great Hammam of Pristina has an entrance hall, a middle warm area, and a main warm area or otherwise known as the massage rooms, etc.

Damage through the years
After the building was abandoned, the hammam has undergone renovations several times. The installation of the new water supply and sewage system, without any criteria have resulted in the loss of precious built details, and the building structure was weakened. Even though the hammam's building is one of the oldest Ottoman buildings in Pristina, there has not been any maintenance, since 1989. The building was used only for keeping the construction materials. Three shops were opened in front of the building in 1994. The shops and the eastern part of the building were soon set on fire, in 1995.  According to the European Stability Initiative, the hammam needs protection from the black water. The walls are destroyed from this factor and other factors like time and improper constructions. Not until April 2007, the Municipality of Pristina decided to do its restoration intermittently.

Restoration
Because, of these damages the "Parliament of the Municipality of Pristina" in collaboration with the Swedish company CHWB decided to start the hammam's restoration in 2006. They formed a project board, which had members from the municipality of Pristina, CHWB, the faculty of architecture of University of Pristina and the Kosova Council for the Cultural Heritage. The restoration was planned to have three phases of work. The first phase was about cleaning away the litter and earlier construction, and the removal of new walls. It ended in 2008. The restoration project was financed by CHWB and the restoration was done by a CHWB team, specialists in the restoration of historical monuments, and by a team or board from the municipality of Pristina. The second phase of the restoration's goal was to rebuild the domes, to strengthen the structure of half of the building, and consolidate the hammam. This phase lasted from 2009 to 2010 and was financed by CHWB and a Turkish team of experts, "Sida", under the supervision of Zenep Ahunbay. They managed to make a plan about the restoration of the hammam and every single detail was examined and re-examined by the project's board for two years. The final draft of the project was accepted by the project's board in January 2009. In 2009, the municipality of Pristina allocated 300,000 euros for the restoration of the Great Hammam of Pristina. The third phase's goal was the restoration and the installation of electricity. A company was chosen by tender by the municipality of Pristina to run the project and was accepted by the project's board. They started working in 2012. But, with the realization of these three phases, there have been some deviations from the restoration plan, according to the Kosova Council for the Cultural Heritage and CHWB. They said that the company which was chosen has no experience in the restoration of monuments at all. The installation of electricity was destroying the original masonry. The materials chosen for the restoration of the hammam were completely improper for restoration and the monument is deeply endangered by the atmospheric waters, which is further weakening the structure of the monument. Ottoman artifacts found in the monument were not treated properly. This company was making irreversible changes and the historic details of the hammam were being lost. CHWB warned the municipality of Pristina and the Kosova Council for the Cultural Heritage to disengage the contract made with the company chosen for restoration. They said that, if the municipality of Pristina didn't do what was included in the project, they would withdraw from the cooperation with the municipality of Pristina. With the request of CHWB and the Kosova Council for the Cultural Heritage, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports ordered that the restoration of the Great Hammam of Pristina be discontinued on 07.02.2013. According to Top Channel, the hammam is currently under restoration with the decision of the "Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports".

Installation art
In an attempt to use neglected sites in Pristina as art exhibition spaces for Manifesta 14, Japanese installation artist Chiharu Shiota hung hundreds of red threads of yarn from the Great Hammam’s ceiling. The venue counted over 150,000 visitors.

title: Sweet Exorcist (band)

text:
Sweet Exorcist were a British music duo consisting of Richard Barratt (DJ Parrot) and Richard H. Kirk. They were among the flagship bleep techno acts on Warp Records in the late 1980s.

History
Sweet Exorcist, which was named after a Curtis Mayfield track, was the project of Sheffield-based musicians Richard H. Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire) and Richard ‘DJ Parrot’ Barratt (later a member of All Seeing I).

Kirk and Barratt knew each other since the mid-1980s. Barratt had already supported a Cabaret Voltaire tour of the UK in 1986. By 1989, Cabaret Voltaire had wrapped up a contract with EMI and had effectively stopped working together. Kirk passed the time by going to clubs and working in the studio with Barratt, who at the time was running Sheffield's main club night, Jive Turkey.

After both worked on several tracks together, Barratt suggested making a club track with studio test tones. In January 1990, the tracks were released as "Testone" on Warp. It defined the bleep techno sound, by making playful use of sampled sounds from Yellow Magic Orchestra's Computer Game (1978) and the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). The next release was "Clonk", also on Warp. For both singles, remix versions were released.

In 1991, the duo released the C.C.E.P., which later came as a CD version, C.C.C.D. and was also known as Clonks Coming. The band released the album Spirit Guide to Low Tech on Touch Records.

2011 saw the release of the compilation album RetroActivity on Warp containing remixes for both singles as well as the tracks such as "Clonk" and "Clonks Coming."

title: National Theatre of Kosovo

text:
The National Theatre of Kosovo (;  / ) was founded in 1946 in the city of Prizren, Kosovo. It is the highest ranked theatre institution in the country, with the largest number of productions. The National Theatre is the only public theatre in Kosovo and therefore it is financed by Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport. This theatre has produced more than 400 premieres which have been watched by more than 3 million spectators.

History

Establishment
The National Theatre of Kosovo was founded in 1946 in Prizren and it was the first professional theatre in Kosovo after the World War II. In the beginning it was called People`s Provincial Theatre and it was placed in the “Partizan” sport center.  This object had a very small stage and did not fulfill the basic requirements for a place which could be used as a theatre. The founders of the first professional theatre in Kosovo were Pavle Vugrinac, Milan and Cica Petrovic who gathered young talented actors willing to work for the theatre and named Shefqet Musliu as their general director.  After the staff was completed with 14 art enthusiasts who delivered two premiers, People`s Provincial Theatre was officially established on October 7, 1945. The first official show released by this theatre was called “The sugar ball” (Albanian: Topi i sheqerit”) from the author Glishiq which was followed by 16 other successful premiers and two tours across Kosovo.
In 1946, the theatre was moved to Pristina, where there was a work interruption due to construction of a new theatre facility, meanwhile the young actors working for the theatre spread to search for a job in another active theatre. Two years later, the official rebirth of the theatre was announced by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Serbia on May 1, 1949. Milutin Jansic was named general director and the first show to be performed in the new theatre facility in Pristina two years after the pause was “Most” directed by Dragutin Todic. In 1951 the Law for People`s Provincial Theatre was declared and this made it possible for the theatre to be developed rapidly. There were many new actors who joined the theatre, but in the absence of professional directors, two of them (Abdurrahman Shala and Muharrem Qena) were trained under the supervision of Dobrica Radenkovic and were turned into successful and famous theatre directors and stage managers. During the following years the theatre had very capable general directors such as Azem Shkreli and Ramiz Kelmendi, who developed theatre activity in Kosovo and made the theatre a very important art institution. In the 90s follow the violent Serbian occupation measures in Kosovo, which affected theatrical activity as well. Right after the war, the name of this theatre was changed from Peoples Provincial Theatre to National Theatre of Kosovo.

National Theatre activity during and after the War of Kosovo
From 1981 until the end of the Kosovo War the theatre has worked under Serbian political pressure, therefore many Albanian artists were dismissed and parallel educative home-theatres were created. Most of the dismissed artists continued their career in the parallel theatres and some of them today are part of the professional staff of the National Theatre. In 1999, right after the Kosovo War, the theatre's name was changed into The National Theatre of Kosovo. During the next 10 years after the war, the theatre has been home to many international and national shows and festivals.  Despite social unrest and political pressures, the National Theatre of Kosovo achieved many creativity prizes in festivals like “Sterja`s Festival” in Novi Sad, “Small Experimental Stages” in Sarajevo and many other international theatrical meetings. The National theatre organizes many events which make it possible to bring international shows on stage in Pristina. Some of these very frequented events are: German Week, Frankofonian Week and Swiss Week.

Educating its personal staff
In the absence of an accredited institution for the education of the new actors and staff members of the theatre, in the 50s the theatre's workers established a theatre studio where the new members could be educated and trained according to the needs of the theatre.  This studio lasted for two years and 14 members were trained. This studio no longer exists since now there are professional institutions which do the same job. Later on, the actors and directors attended courses abroad and came back to share knowledge and experiences with other members. Thanks to the big efforts of its members, a couple of years later the National Theatre had its own artists, stage managers, costume and set designers and a qualified staff. An important role had the collaboration of the theatre with the Academy for Theatre and Movies of Serbia and Serbian radio and television. In 1970 was established the Drama Group which offered individual art education to many young art enthusiasts who gave big contributions to the National Theatre. Some of these people who later on became great artists were Faruk Begolli, Bekim Fehmiu, Ekrem Kryeziu, Qemajl Sokoli, Enver Petrovci and many others.

Influence of the National Theatre in the artistic life of Kosovo

Development of performing arts
The National Theatre is initiator of many festivals and events that increase the competition between performers and performing arts institutions.  The first competition was arranged in the beginning of the 50s and resulted in the collection of original dramas of different kinds with no language restrictions. The results were quite satisfactory because many of the dramas were turned into great shows like “Erveheja”, “Dashuria” and “Hakmarrja”. Except for original dramas, in stage were performed many books by Albanian famous authors. One of them which was very successful was “Sikur të isha djalë” by Haki Stërmilli. In 60s and 70s many authors started writing dramas which would enrich the repertoire of the National Theatre.
The basics of dramatic creativity were established with the permanent competition “Katarina Josipi-KATI” which holds the name of the famous actress Katarina Josipi. This competition brings on stage many art pieces which have a large number of audience members and fill the gaps of theatrical creativity in the National Theatre.  Except for different kinds of dramas, in stage were put even some poems like “Zogu i diellit” by Din Mehmeti and “Trungu Ilir” by Sabri Hamiti.

Development of art criticism
Magazines and newspapers like “Rilindje”, “Jedinstvo”, “Tan”, “Bota e re”, “Zëri”, “Politika” and Radio-Television of Prishtina had a very important role on promoting the National Theatre activity and attracting art criticism. Many art critics focused on the performances of the theatre and published their opinions which influenced the popularization of the scenic art. Some of the critical books published on the National Theatre are “Kur ndizen dritat” by Vehap Shita and “Fjala ne skenë” by Musa Ramadani.

Internal organization of the theatre
This institution has five organizational units.
Albanian drama
Serbian drama (which does not function since 1999)
Kosovo Ballet
Technical sector
General sector no. 10
Except for its units, the National Theatre has its branches like theatre council, artistic board and bylaws like statute and rules of procedure. Since the National Theatre is a public institution it has never been self-financed but it is supported by Educational-Cultural Community, Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and other artistic institutions.

Cooperation with other institutions
Since its establishment, the National Theatre has cooperated with many institutions which have contributed in its expansion and promotion. The theatre is still cooperating with theatres in Albania, Poland, Turkey, England and many other countries.  The always was a very close cooperation with the Radio of Prizren and Radio of Prishtina ever since 1973. They shared directors, interpreters and technicians and realized radio dramas and radio comedies together.

Cooperation with other theatres
The National Theatre as the leading theatrical institution has many connections with other theatres in Kosovo like Oda Theatre, Dodona Theatre and theatres in Prizren, Peja, Gjakova, Ferizaj, and Mitrovica. It has been part of many festivals and its directors have been jury in important cultural events like “Trebinja” and Kulla”.

Cooperation with the cinematography of Kosovo
Since the National Theatre and the Cinematography Entrepreneurship of Kosovo have been established at the same day, October 7, 1945 at the same place, Prizren, their activity is associated in many areas. In the first decades this cooperation has been developed mainly in the film studios of Beograd, Serbia. Later on, many actors from  the National Theatre like Kristë Berisha, Muharrem Qena and Shani Pallaska  have played in movies like “Eshaloni Dr.M.”, “Kapiten Lleshi”, “Qerim hesapesh”, and “Jeta e minatorëve”. With the establishment of “Kosova Film” the cooperation is very close and the result are very successful movies like “Uka i Bjeshkëve të Nemuna” and “Treni për Berlin”. Since the actors of the theatre were the most professional actors in the place, they were often asked to play in movies despite form acting on stage so the National Theatre had a very important role on the development of cinematography.

Shows
The repertoire of The National Theatre consists of many dramatic shows from national and international directors. The shows produced in this theatre have been part of many international festivals where they got art awards and very good comments from many well-known art critics. Until 1989 this theatre has produced more than 400 premieres and around 10.000 replays. These shows have been watched from more than 3.200.000 people in Kosovo and abroad. Except for shows made in Albanian, this theatre has produced many shows in Serbian and other Slavic languages.

Adelog von Dorstadt (died 20 September 1190) was Bishop of Hildesheim from 1171 until his death.

Biography
Born into a Saxon noble family, he was a relative of the Lords of Dorstadt. From about 1160 he appeared as a canon at Hildesheim Cathedral and provost of the cathedral chapter in Goslar. In the fierce Hohenstaufen–Welf dispute between Frederick Barbarossa and the Saxon duke Henry the Lion, Bishop Adelog acted cautiously and eventually sided with the emperor. When Henry was deposed in 1180, he achieved nearly independent status. Despite the tensions with the House of Welf, he also worked as diocesan bishop in the residence of Brunswick.

Adelog was a builder, overseeing the reconstruction of the St. Michael's Church, Hildesheim after the fire of 1186, the completion of the basilica St. Godehard, Hildesheim, and the construction of the Neuwerk monastery in Goslar. He also sponsored construction of the Our Lady Altar in Brunswick Cathedral, which he consecrated on 8 September 1188 in the presence of Henry the Lion, and in 1189 he confirmed and privileged the foundation of an Augustinian nunnery in Dorstadt.

He died 20 September 1190 in Hildesheim and was buried in the Hildesheim Cathedral Adelogs grave in the nave of the cathedral is made of ornate sandstone.

title: Geography of Prizren

text:
Prizren is located on the slopes of the Sharr Mountains in the southern part of Kosovo. The municipality has a border with Albania and North Macedonia.

Geographical characteristics

Prizren municipality with an area of 640 km2 (5.94% of Kosovo’s surface) located in south-western Kosovo has 76 settlements with 220,776 inhabitants of whom 110,000 are Prizren’s local inhabitants.

The most populated villages of the municipality of Prizren are:
Zhur/Žur (population: 5,909)
Korishë/Koriš (population: 5,279)
Gjonaj/Gonj (population: 4,818)
Geographical and regional position of Prizren can bestly be examined with analysis of his position in relation to Kosovo, and Dukagjini’s area. Kosovo contains areas of Kosovo and Dukagjini.

Good geographical position, regional and rich natural resources, historical wealth of cultural artifacts form the basis of tourism development in the municipality of Prizren. Prizren is an ancient city located along Sharr Mountains and along the river Lumbardhi. The topography of Prizren has got a corrugated structure. Elevation ranges from 300 to 2,600 m within the boundaries. While the city center is focused on flat surfaces, hilly topography is observed along the western side, especially along the eastern side.

Forest surfaces in Prizren are rich with endemic plant reserves especially the Bosnian pine. Forest surfaces in the National Park "Sharri Mountains " are known with natural values. The total area of the municipality of Prizren is 63,986 ha. 53% of this surface is agricultural land, 39% of forests and 8% others.

Hydrography

From the total amount of precipitation that falls in the territory of Kosovo, in Dukagjini region fall about 800 mm in 1m2 of the surface, while in Kosovo, about 600 mm in 1m2. With rivers flows about 40 % of precipitation, while about 60 % evaporates. The amount of water that flows into rivers is greater in late autumn and spring, and lower in summer and winter. The ratio between the maximum and minimum amounts of water flowing into Drini i Bardhe is 8:1.

Maximum flow of water in rivers coming from Sharr Eastern Albanian Alps, can sometimes be in late autumn ( November and December ), when these regions have uninterrupted rainfall for several days. Otherwise, due to the long and dry summer, with autumn rainfalls there is not much water in these rivers, while the underground reserves in the mountains are not filled up.

Rivers and river basins

Hydrography of the watercourses of Kosovo is divided into four river basins:
Drini i Bardhe
Ibri
Morava e Binçës
Lepenci.

The longest and the most important river in Prizren is Drini i Bardhe( 122 km ), while Prizren Lumëbardhi is smaller with 31 km. All rivers flow into the Drini i Bardhe river. The average length of the branches of Drini i Bardhe is along the 45.8 km.

Along the center of Prizren passes the Lumbardhi River which is 35 km long.

Toplluha/Topluga River with a length of 37 km was declared as the river with the biggest risk of flooding.

Watersheds

Much of the territory of Kosovo belongs to the Black Sea basin, the rest, slightly smaller belongs to the Adriatic Sea basin and the remaining part belongs to the Aegean Sea basin.
 Rivers that belong to the Black Sea watersheds are: Sitnica, Ibri/Ibar, Drenica, Llapi, Morava e Binçes/ Binačka Morava and Krivareka.
 Rivers that belong to the Adriatic Sea watershed are: Drini i Bardhe with branches of the river of Istočka Bistrica, Pećka Bistrica, Dečanska Bistrica, Erenik, River of Prizren/Prizrenska Bistrica, Toplluha/Topluga, Mirusha, Klina and River of Plava, of Restelica.
 Rivers that belong to the Aegean Sea watersheds are: Lepenci and Nerodimka.

Despite the larger area that belongs to the Black Sea basin, the rivers of the Adriatic Sea basin have large amounts of water, because on the basin of Drini i Bardhe falls greater amount of rainfall, then because of the high mountains, in which during winter falls even more snow, which melts in the spring months.

Borders

Prizren borders with municipalities such as: Gjakovë, Rahovec, Shtërpcë, Suharekë, Dragash and in national borders with Albania and North Macedonia. For this reason Prizren’s region is located at an altitude of about 400 meters and some of Sharri Mountains reach the height 2000 m above sea level.  They are surrounded by almost all sides with high mountains and present a set of clearly separated. Dukagjini’s and Kosovo’s areas are in the middle part of the Balkans.

Prizren municipality borders in the north with municipalities of Suhareka/Suva Reka and Rahovec/ Orahovac, in the south of this municipality with Dragash, in the east with Shtërrpcë/Štrpce and in west borders with the Republic of Albania.Prizren is located off the European highway network. Many traffic routes pass through its territory.

However, natural predispositions provide favorable opportunities for connecting with neighboring regions more distant, while forming qualitative connections Prizren will have a much better position for both tourist and freight flows as more efficient connection and integration into wider spaces such as Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, other border regions, and Europe.

Climate

The climate of the city is extremely varied. In low areas due to the influence of the Mediterranean climate and very hot summers crops are among the first in Southeastern Europe with the incomparable advantages for agricultural crops: grape vines, fruit and vegetables.

In rural regions, Alpine climate dominates, because until June into holes there are still several pieces of snow left where in the middle of the summer the top of mountains are full of snow.
This type of configuration gives preconditions for wealth and other resources, for example:
Based on the amount of water it is one of the richest towns.
This position creates all the preconditions for the development of agricultural crops, livestock, industrial food and tourism based on the model of Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland.
 Through Prizren side passes the shortest route that unites the central part of the Balkans with the Adriatic sea.

Historical conditions

Historical conditions in earlier periods were not in a very good position relative to major traffic centers. Also there was not enough openness towards neighboring regions like Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, causing Prizren not to use advantages that it has from pedological ground composition, climatic conditions of the Mediterranean climate and hydrological conditions for the development of agriculture and natural conditions for developing tourism and recreational activities. All this has affected the economic structure of Prizren.
According to the Spatial Plan of Kosovo, Prizren is known as a city museum, including antique values, cultural, historic and attractive development activities such as education, trade, tourism, agriculture, light food production, textile, pharmaceutical industry, etc.

title: German Equipment Works

text:
German Equipment Works (, ) was a Nazi German defense contractor with headquarters in Berlin during World War II, owned and operated by the Schutzstaffel (SS). It consisted of a network of requisitioned factories and camp workshops across German-occupied Europe exploiting the prisoner slave labour from Nazi concentration camps and the Jewish ghettos in German-occupied Poland. DAW outfitted the German military with boots, uniforms and materials on the eastern front at a windfall profit, and provided wood and metal supplies, as well as reconstruction work on railway lines and freight trains.

History
The business enterprise was founded in May 1939 and was in operation until 1943. About 15,500 concentration camp prisoners died at DAW due to heavy work loads imposed by the contractor and the inhuman working conditions "calculated not just to cripple their bodies but also to plunge them into a state of perpetual terror." DAW operated several businesses in the Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, and Auschwitz concentration camps, where forced labor was used. Work was later expanded to Majdanek, Janowska, Stutthof, and other concentration camps.

Deutsche Ausrustungswerke (DAW) was the first SS enterprise established in the Lublin reservation territory of occupied Poland, sometime  between late 1940 and early 1941. DAW took over the Lipowa Zwangsarbeiterlager, with prisoners of the Lublin Ghetto, and soon expanded to include Lublin airfield camp, and the Majdanek concentration camp labour force in October 1941. DAW was subordinate to the SS-WVHA. The Lublin Airfield was a location of several of its plants, including a subsidiary of the Waffen SS clothing workshops, the SS garrison, a glass factory, a truck and SS troop supply depot, and a prisoner lab producing pharmaceuticals.

By mid-1942, all death camps of Operation Reinhard were already supplying trainloads of goods from the victims of gassing for further processing: Bełżec from March 1942, Sobibór from May 1942, and Treblinka from July 1942. The remaining Jews in the General Government supplied DAW with slave labour. Odilo Globočnik directed the operation of DAW plants in Lublin and at the Old Airfield camp, the Waffen SS Standortverwaltung workshops and SS Clothing Works, and the police Truppenwirtschaftlager Supply Depot of the HSSPF. All labourers and guards were supplied by Globočnik.

Elizabeth B. White wrote, "The prime example of cooperation between the WVHA and Globočnik was the East Industries Inc. (Ostindustrie GmbH, or Osti), which was founded in March 1943 for the express purpose of using Jewish labor and also exploiting machinery and raw materials formerly owned by Jews in industrial workshops." Therefore, the equipment used by DAW was not German to begin with, but Polish. Osti took over DAW factories in 1943.

title: UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group F

text:
The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group F was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament. Group F consisted of six teams: Greece, Hungary, Romania, Finland, Northern Ireland, and Faroe Islands, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.

The top two teams, Northern Ireland and Romania, qualified directly for the finals. As third-placed Hungary were not the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they won against Norway and thus qualified as well.

Group's qualified team Romania conceded the least goals from all the teams that played in the qualifications: only two goals were scored in Romania's net, both at home and on Arena Națională in Bucharest, against neighbours Hungary on October 11, 2014, and again against Finland one year later, on October 8, 2015. Greece, Euro 2004 winners, quarter-finalists at Euro 2012, and a team who played in the 2014 FIFA World Cup only three months before the group started, reaching the Round of 16, shockingly finished at the bottom of the group, scoring only 7 goals and conceding 14, losing twice against the Faroe Islands and having a single victory, a hard-obtained 4-3 victory over Hungary in Athens.

title: UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group I

text:
The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group I was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament. Group I consisted of five teams: Portugal, Denmark, Serbia, Armenia, and Albania, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.

The top two teams, Portugal and Albania, qualified directly for the finals. As third-placed Denmark weren't the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they lost to Sweden and thus failed to qualify.

France were also partnered with the five-team Group I, which enabled the 2016 tournament hosts to play centralised friendlies against these countries on their 'spare' dates. However, these friendlies did not count in the qualifying group standings.

Standings

Matches
The fixtures were released by UEFA the same day as the draw, which was held on 23 February 2014 in Nice. Times are CET/CEST, as listed by UEFA (local times are in parentheses).

The following suspensions were served during the qualifying matches:

Portugal coach Fernando Santos was to serve an eight-match touchline ban for unsporting conduct towards the match officials when he was in charge of Greece against Costa Rica in the 2014 FIFA World Cup round of 16 match. The ban was temporarily suspended by the Court of Arbitration for Sport until the final appeal. On 23 March 2015, the CAS ruled that his ban should be reduced to four games, with two suspended during a six-month probationary period, meaning he missed Portugal's matches against Serbia (29 March 2015) and Armenia (13 June 2015).

Some countriesm, like Singapore, India and Canada that have written constitutions, can be constrained in their definition of "jurisdictional facts" and due to the restraints in their constitutions.

Australia
In Australia the High Court has been reticent to define jurisdictional facts finding that "The principles as to how one determines whether something is a jurisdictional fact are settled but necessarily imprecise. That must be so." and that "to define Jurisdictional fact is neither necessary nor desirable." Despite this, Australian courts have attempted to define jurisdictional fact, including:
"A condition of jurisdiction".
"A preliminary question on the answer to which … jurisdiction depends".
An "event or requirement" constituting "an essential condition of the existence of jurisdiction". ...."a condition of jurisdiction", without which a tribunal can not act.
 But the leading definition in Australia is the "criterion, satisfaction of which enlivens the power of the decision-maker" found in Enfield.

These criteria of jurisdiction are created by and operate through statute, and may be subjective, or objective in nature and may also be a complex of interactions. but they must not be illogical, or capricious and must be actual.

Singapore
In Singapore the concept is called "precedent fact errors".

title: UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group C

text:
The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group C was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament. Group C consisted of six teams: Spain, Ukraine, Slovakia, Belarus, Macedonia, and Luxembourg, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.

Originally Gibraltar had been drawn in this group, but were moved to group D due to Spain not being willing to play them because of the disputed status of Gibraltar.

The top two teams, Spain and Slovakia, qualified directly for the finals. As third-placed Ukraine weren't the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they won against Slovenia and thus qualified as well.
