title: Symeon Stylites of Lesbos

text:
Saint Symeon Stylites of Lesbos (765/66–844) was a monk who survived two attempts on his life during the second period of Byzantine Iconoclasm (814–842). He followed a similar model to Simeon Stylites, residing on a pillar-like structure similar to a tower. There he isolated himself from the world and fasted, prayed and studied. He is venerated with his two brothers, Saint George the Archbishop of Mytilene and Saint David the Monk.

History
In the beginning of the eighth century in Mytilene lived Adrianos and Konstanto.  They had seven children, of which five became monks; three of the children were David, George and Symeon.  David, the eldest, was born around 717 or 718 AD; he learned how to read and write by 16 and he was the shepherd of his father's sheep.  During the time of a huge storm he saw a dream and Saint Anthony appeared to him and instructed him to travel to a monastery in Asia Minor, at Mount Ida.  Exhibiting discipline at the mountain, he lived inside of a cave and ate wild greens.  He lived there for 30 years.  In another dream, he was instructed to go to the Bishop of Gargara to be ordained a deacon and later an Elder Priest.  He later returned to the monastery in Mount Ida.  He saw another dream and was instructed by an angel to build the church Saint Kirikou and Ioulittis and a monastery where many monks gathered.

After ten years his mother arrived to inform him that his father had died. She was with his youngest brother Symeon who was 8 years old.  He was born either in 765 or 766 AD.  Symeon lived with his brother; his mother returned to Mytilene and after a short time died.  Symeon learned how to read and write living at his brother's monastery.  Symeon at age 22 also became a monk at the monastery; by age 28 he was ordained. David saw a vision of his death in a dream and informed his younger brother to go back to Mytilene.  Two years later David died at the age of 66.   Symeon composed himself and on the command of his brother returned to Mytilene. He went to the church of Panagia which was at the north harbor of the island maybe Apano Skala.  There he followed a similar model to Simeon Stylites.  He climbed up a pillar-like structure similar to a tower.  The term Stylite is Greek it comes from the word στυλί which means poll or column. There he isolated himself, fasted, worshiped and studied.

Symeon also at this point found his other brother George born 763 AD who was a monk and an ordained priest and their sister Illaria also a monk.  Together with other priests, they built a huge monastery.  The Monastery drew a huge amount of Christian worshipers who were thirsty to hear the Word of God.  The worshipers were asking for the blessing of the holy monks.

On 19 April 797 Constantine VI was imprisoned, captured, and blinded by supporters of his mother.  Irene of Athens organized a conspiracy.  She was to be crowned as the first Empress regnant of Constantinople. She was exiled to Lesbos around 802.  She was in favor of icons and was forced into poverty, spinning was her means of survival.  One year later she died.  The peace of the beautiful monastery was disrupted by the second iconoclast period: 814–842 instituted by Emperor Leo V the Armenian. The Emperor decreed persecution against Christians due to military failure the Byzantines suffered at the hands of Bulgarian Khan Krum.  He wanted the same blessing that Constantine V had from the first iconoclast period: 730–787

The bishop of Mytilene also named George, was exiled and a new bishop of Mytilene was chosen, he was loyal to Emperor Leo V the Armenian.  He immediately began a campaign against the famed monks including Symeon and the monastery.

With the orders of the iconoclast Bishop, Symeon is ordered to be put to death by fire.  With the aid of a miracle he is saved and he climbs his pillar where he stays for a period of time emulating Simeon Stylites.  The angry bishop wishes Symeon to leave the city and never return.  He is exiled to a small island with his monks called Saint Isidore.  The area of the island of Lesbos was in the Gulf of Gera, close to Loutra near Kountouroudia.

Saint Symeon was again pursued by the iconoclast bishop because Emperor Michael II reissued orders against Symeon exiling him yet again to an uninhabited rock-like island across from Troy Lagousa.  Symeon went there with 7 of his students.  He again climbed the pillar and stayed for 10 days.  His brother George stayed in Lesbos to watch over the Monastery.

Saint Symeon after a while traveled to Constantinople where he understood he would be extremely useful to the church.  He settled at the Monastery of Medicium home of Saint Nikitas the Confessor near the city of Tirilye on the Sea of Marmara.  With the Monastery of Medicium as his epicenter, he toured the Dardanelles to the Aegean islands to the Black Sea.  At these places, he would stand by the exiled priests hiding from the iconoclasts.  At his time in exile Symeon worked as a fisherman wherever he stopped, he worked to help the people in need more than helping himself.  Touring the Northern Aegean and Asia Minor he not only taught but he also healed the sick and founded a female Monastery by the grace of God, where many nuns gathered.

Emperor of the Byzantium Michael II died.  His iconoclast successor Theophilos (emperor) waged a bigger war against the church.  Symeon and his entourage were arrested with the intent of imprisonment and being put to death.   He was saved for a second time miraculously with the intervention of Theodora (wife of Theophilos).  He was not lucky enough to escape 150 lashes which were ordered by the Emperor.  He was then exiled to Aphousia an island in the Sea of Marmara.  He was there with other distinguished priests of the Byzantium such as Theophanes the Branded and his brother Theodore the hymnographers.  At this place of exile, Saint Symeon of Lesbos built a church in honor of the Virgin Mary and monastery where all the persecuted exiled iconoclast priests gathered.

Meanwhile, in Lesbos Symeon's brother George awaited his return but he also had serious problems with the iconoclasts during the time of Leo V the Armenian around 813–820.  The iconoclasts Bishop of the island pressured him with various methods until he exiled him from Mytilene.  The bishop illegally seized the Monastery and sold all the family's belongings.  George was forced to leave with his monks to a place on the island called Myrsina.  Phountoules and Malamut identify Myrsinas with a site near the gulf of Gera in Lesbos where a monastery of Panagia Myrsiniotissa was constructed in the 12th century. But even at this location Christians came and found them and George taught and performed miracles.

When the Emperor Theophilos died, his wife Theodora rescinded the exile of all priests including George and his Brother Symeon.  George and Symeon along with Methodios I of Constantinople the confessor became the most trusted advisors to Empress Theodora. Around 843 A.D. with the advice of Symeon, Methodios I became the Patriarch of Constantinople.  Symeon with his students settled at the monastery then known as the Church of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus

George was asked by Empress Theodora to become Bishop of Ephesus.  He did not accept the position due to his old age.  He was 80 years old at the time.  After many attempts by Empress Theodora, he accepted to become the Bishop of the Metropolis Mytilene.  Soon after he was ordained by the Empress, Empress Theodora, her brother Petronas and noble Bardas gave many gifts to the poor of the island.  George entered the port with the royal navy accompanied by generals and members of Empress Theodora's court.

George was greeted with joy and happiness.  The monks finally got back there monastery and they celebrated after being exiled for many years.  Specifically, they celebrated the Birth of the Virgin Mary (8 September 843 A.D.).  After several days George took his enthronement at the church of Saint Theodora, which was the Metropolitan Church on 14 of September during the Feast of the Cross.

One year later around 844 A.D., Saint Symeon Stylites of Lesbos George's brother died.  He was buried at the Monastery of the Virgin Mary.  The winter of the same year Saint George the Archbishop of Mytilene visited the land of the Goths to see a sick friend.  With the Lord's help, Saint George's friend was healed.  He envisioned a prophecy that he will die in seven years as he did.  He returned to Mytilene and continued his work teaching and healing. He performed his miracles as the good Shepherd.

He went to Smyrna during the winter.  There he wanted to see his spiritual children and monasteries, which he founded on plots his students gave him.  At Smyrna, he stayed a few days because an angel came to him and announced his death was soon.  He immediately returned to Mytilene where he survived the entire Great Lent he even performed the service of Holy Thursday.  He understood the end was near.  He gave his final commands to his spiritual children the monks and nuns.  He gave his soul to the lord on the night of the Great Sabbath or Holy Saturday around 845 or 846 A.D.  They buried him next to his brother Saint Symeon Stylites of Lesbos.  The remains of the two saints were never discovered but are somewhere on the island of Lesbos.  Saint David the Monk may be buried somewhere else.  The three brothers are Saints; Saint George the Archbishop of Mytilene, Saint Symeon Stylites of Lesbos, and Saint David the Monk.  Their Feast Day is February 1.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Evanston, Illinois, United States. The organization's mission is to promote excellence in stem cell science and applications to human health.

History
The International Society for Stem Cell Research was formed in 2002 (incorporated on March 30, 2001) to foster the exchange of information on stem cell research. Leonard Zon, professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, served as the organization's first president.

In June 2003, the International Society for Stem Cell Research held its first convention. More than 600 scientists attended, many of whom expressed frustration over restrictions that President George W. Bush's administration had placed on the field of stem-cell research, slowing the pace of research. Scientists who were leaders in their fields were prohibited from using funding from the National Institutes of Health to conduct certain experiments that could provide significant medical achievements.

As a service to the field, in 2006, the ISSCR developed guidelines that address the international diversity of cultural, political, legal, and ethical perspectives related to stem cell research and its translation to medicine. The guidelines were designed to underscore widely shared principles in science that call for rigor, oversight, and transparency in all areas of practice. Adherence to the ISSCR guidelines would provide assurance that stem cell research is conducted with scientific and ethical integrity and that new therapies are evidence-based. In response to advances in science, the guidelines were updated in 2008, and again in 2016, to encompass a broader and more expansive scope of research and clinical endeavor than before, imposing rigor on all stages of research, addressing the cost of regenerative medicine products, and highlighting the need for accurate and effective public communication. The 2016 Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation have been adopted by researchers, clinicians, organizations, and institutions around the world.

In 2013, the Society's official journal, Stem Cell Reports, was established; it is published monthly by Cell Press on the Society's behalf.

In March 2015, scientists, including an inventor of CRISPR, urged a worldwide hold on germline gene therapy, writing that "scientists should avoid even attempting, in lax jurisdictions, germline genome modification for clinical application in humans" until the full implications "are discussed among scientific and governmental organizations".

After the publication that a Chinese group had used CRISPR to modify a gene in human embryos, the group repeated their call for a suspension of "attempts at human clinical germ-line genome editing while extensive scientific analysis of the potential risks is conducted, along with broad public discussion of the societal and ethical implications."

The ISSCR’s Annual Meetings are the largest stem cell research conferences in the world, drawing nearly 3,900 attendees in 2020 for the organization's first global, virtual event, ISSCR 2020 Digital. The ISSCR’s membership includes international leaders of stem cell research and regenerative medicine representing more than 70 countries worldwide. In 2021, the ISSCR published an update to its internationally recognized Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation, that address the international diversity of cultural, political, legal, and ethical issues associated with stem cell research and its translation to medicine.. In 2022, the Society hosted its first hybrid annual meeting in San Francisco, USA and launched ISSCR.digital, which offers scientific education and opportunities to network and build new connections with the global community.

title: BR18

text:
The BR18  is a bullpup assault rifle made by ST Kinetics of Singapore.

The rifle was officially unveiled at the Singapore Airshow 2014 as the Bullpup Multirole Combat Rifle. The rifle is designed to fire both 5.56×45mm NATO and ST Kinetics Extended Range 5.56mm ammunition and comes as standard with MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails at the three, six, nine and 12 o’clock positions.

Its production will enable the Singaporean military to phase out the SAR 21 from service. It is also offered for sale on the international market.

History
The BR18 first made an appearance at the 2012 Singapore Airshow, where it was known as the Next-Gen Concept Bullpup Rifle. In 2014, the BR18 was first unveiled in the Eurosatory exhibition, called the BMCR. The rifle was to be available to both military and law enforcement markets by early 2015.

After user trials were conducted in 2017, ST Kinetics demonstrated the production version of the rifle, which was given the name of BR18 at the 2018 Singapore Airshow exhibition.

Design
The BR18's barrel is coated with a proprietary dry lubricant which repels sand, dust, and gunpowder soot for easier maintenance. The rifle is also designed to be over the beach (OTB) capable, enabling the operator to safely fire after submerging the rifle in water.

The weapon is constructed of reinforced, blast-proof polymer and is equipped with MIL-STD-1913 "Picatinny" rails to mount scopes and other tactical accessories. While the design was influenced by the SAR-21, the BR18 allows it to be used by both left or right handed users with empty casing ejections set forward and to the right by a front deflector, away from the person's face if the weapon is fired from the left shoulder.

ST Kinetics has said that the BR18 has an effective range of 460 m and 800 m when fired with M193 and SS109 ammunition respectively, with a muzzle velocity of 860 m/s when employing SS109 rounds out of the "Assault" variant, equipped with a 14.5" barrel.

The charging handle is placed above the trigger guard. Initial designs showed the charging handle positioned above the cheek rest, which meant that the person would have been forced to move away from the rifle in order to pull the bolt. Pre-production models improved on this by designing the charging handle to be foldable with one hand and pulled back by using two fingers, using the force of the handle moving to be stowed.

The trigger guard can be flipped outwards so that the shooter can handle the weapon if using gloves.

While a 5.56 version is already scheduled for production, a 7.62x51mm NATO version is currently being developed. The BR18 can use a STK-made 40 GL attached underneath the barrel via picatinny rails.

Gallery

Variants
The BR18 is available in the following configurations:
 Assault rifle: Has an overall length of 645mm with a  barrel.
 Light machine gun: Has a  barrel.
 Marksman rifle.

title: Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon

text:
Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon is a 2014 animated fantasy comedy direct-to-video film starring Tom and Jerry, produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Directed and produced by Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone, it premiered on July 27, 2014, at San Diego Comic-Con. It is the first Tom and Jerry direct-to-video film to be distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment in Japan. It was originally released digitally on August 19, 2014, followed by a DVD release on September 2, 2014.

Plot
The film begins showing wizard Kaldorf expelling a powerful witch named Drizelda from a village for multiple crimes. Kaldorf allows Drizelda's mistreated niece Athena to stay. The elf villagers fear she will turn out like her aunt because she keeps vermin (Jerry) and has an affection for cats (Tom). The cat and mouse in this timeline are babies and become frenemies to each other but friends with Athena, who is only a teenage barefoot girl.

The film fast forwards to Tom and Jerry chasing each other, as they usually do, and Athena caring for hurt animals, until the three happen to come across a mysterious glowing egg. What neither of them know is that this egg was stolen from a very large, fire-breathing dragon. In a short time, a baby dragon named Puffy hatches from this egg and believes that Tom is his mother, and the three take good care of him.

However, Puffy's real mother is angered that her baby is missing and wants him back, but before Tom, Jerry and Athena can even try to find her, Drizelda returns and captures Puffy, intending to use him for her own wicked plans — she is trying to steal his heat to become a super-dragon herself and destroy everything in the village. With the help of powerful allies and animal friends, Tom, Jerry and Athena work together and fight tooth and claw to stop the evil witch and get Puffy back to his mother, eventually, Drizelda is turned into a statue, and the villagers, Jerry, Kaldorf and even Athena are having a happy singing party, while Tom is chased by Athena's pet crocodile.

After the end credits, despite being turned into a statue, Drizelda is shown to still be alive. As a bird tries to perch on her, she breathes a puff a smoke from her nose, replying "Don't even think about it!", scaring away the bird.

Since 1929, the year of the "Great Break", with the turn in the Soviet politics toward arts, his erotic photography was declared inappropriate for Soviet morale, as a feature of the "overindulged idleness of the rich". Nevertheless, he risked exhibitions of semi-naked women, and was eventually sentenced to Gulag labor camps (1936–1939) "for distribution of pornography".

title: Rowing at the 1936 Summer Olympics – Men's single sculls

text:
The men's single sculls competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics took place at Grünau Regatta Course, near Berlin, Germany. The event was held from 11 to 14 August. There were 20 competitors from 20 nations, with each nation limited to a single boat in the event. The event was won by Gustav Schäfer of Germany, the nation's first victory in the event and first medal of any colour in the men's single sculls since 1908. Josef Hasenöhrl took silver, Austria's first medal in the event. Dan Barrow earned bronze, extending the United States' podium streak in the event to five Games; the Americans had taken a medal in each of the six times they competed in the event.

Background

This was the ninth appearance of the event. Rowing had been on the programme in 1896 but was cancelled due to bad weather. The single sculls has been held every time that rowing has been contested, beginning in 1900.

None of the 5 rowers from the 1932 Games returned. Australia's Cecil Pearce was the cousin of 1928 and 1932 gold medalist Bobby Pearce, who had turned professional after the 1932 Games (and thus was no longer eligible under the amateurism rules in place at the time). The pre-race favorite was Ernst Rufli of Switzerland, the two-time reigning Diamond Challenge Sculls champion. Humphrey Warren of Great Britain, Gustav Schäfer of Germany, and Jiří Zavřel of Czechoslovakia were also significant contenders.

Argentina, Brazil, Estonia, Norway, and Yugoslavia each made their debut in the event. Great Britain made its eighth appearance, most among nations, having missed only the 1904 Games in St. Louis.

Competition format

Despite having five more rowers than the previous record of 15 at the 1928 Games, the 1932 Games used only 4 rounds (to the 1928 tournament's 7). There were three main rounds and a repechage. The number of boats allowed in individual races was expanded from prior Games, with the final reaching six boats for the first time.

 Quarterfinals: There were four quarterfinal heats, each with 5 boats. The winner of each race advanced to the semifinals, while all other boats went to the repechage for a second chance. No rowers were eliminated.
 Repechage: There were again four heats, this time with 4 boats apiece. The winner of each joined the quarterfinal winners in the semifinals. The remaining 12 boats were eliminated.
 Semifinals: There were two heats, each with 4 boats (2 quarterfinal winners and 2 repechage winners apiece). The top 3 boats in each semifinal advanced to the final, with only the two 4th-place boats eliminated in this round.
 The final had 6 boats.

The course used the 2000 metres distance that became the Olympic standard in 1912.

title: Aleksander Polanowski

text:
Alexander or Aleksander Polanowski entitled to use coat of arms Pobóg (died April 24, 1687) was colonel of the Royal Hussar (also known as the Winged Hussars), Royal Grand Master of the Pantry (Agriculture Secretary of the Crown) since 1678 and Royal Grand Standard Bearer since 1685. The Grand Standard Bearer of the Crown was the fourth in military commandership after the King, the "Hetman Wielki" (the military Commander in Chief) and the “Hetman Polny” (the Field Commander).

Alexander's military career began probably during the Cossack uprising of Bohdan Zynoviy Mykhailovych Khmelnytsky. In 1656 he participated in the war with the Swedes, fighting in the battles of Prostki and Filipów. In the years 1657–1659, together with Polish Hetman Stefan Czarniecki he was dispatched on Western Pomerania and Denmark. Probably commanded the Czarniecki's right wing divisions at the battle of Połonka, on June 27, 1660. He was also actively involved in Ukraine. He participated in the Battles of Lyubar and Słobodyszcze. In autumn 1663 under the leadership of Polish King John II Casimir Vasa took part in the expedition to Dniprovsky. Shortly, he defected to the field of Prince Jerzy or George Sebastian Lubomirski opposite to the last King Vasa. Later he returned to the rightful King's field and commanded troops in battle against Lubomirski’ rebels near Czestochowa.

After the end of Lubomirski's rebellion, Polanowski entered in the service of the Crown Hetman Jan or John Sobieski (future elected King John III Sobieski), who during the free election in 1669 was the major candidate for the Polish Crow and therefore ruler of “The Commonwealth” (the whole Realm – nowadays Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, etc. ). He participated in the expedition to Hajec, commanding the left side of the Polish army. In the years 1671-1676 he fought against the Turkish and Tartars troops, participating in the expedition to Bratslav, and fighting the Tatars in Chocimska campaign. In August 1683 went to Vienna, but during the military taking exercise in Tarnów Mountains became ill and had to return to his homeland. Soon after, he resigned from the military, living with the profits of the salt mines of Kraków given to him by the King of Poland (Jan III Sobieski) for live.

title: Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy

text:
Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy is a 2014 direct-to-DVD animated comedy horror film, and the twenty-third film in the direct-to-video series of Scooby-Doo films. It premiered on July 27, 2014, at San Diego Comic-Con, and was released on Digital HD on August 5, 2014. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on August 19, 2014.

Plot
Velma gets a call from Cuthbert Crawley, a lawyer for Velma's family who tells her that she has inherited her great uncle's castle in Transylvania, Pennsylvania. At his office, Velma turns the offer down, replying that she wants nothing to do with her uncle, puzzling her friends. Mr. Crawley understands, revealing the curse over the estate. As the gang heads outside, Fred hears a noise from the Mystery Machine, then it explodes and a mysterious character with a mask appears. Crawley reveals that it is the ghost of the Baron, Velma's old ancestor. The remains of the machine explode again, with words saying "stay away from Transylvania", but Fred declares that is where they are going to find the person responsible for destroying the Mystery Machine.

Having no other option, the gang ride in the express. When pressured by the gang, Velma reveals the truth: her real last name is Von Dinkenstein, and the ghost is likely her ancestor, Baron Von Dinkenstein, who was said to have created a monster (which inspired famous novelist Mary Shelley to write her novel Frankenstein). All of a sudden, the train starts to pick up speed. After getting everyone to the last car, Shaggy goes to the front of the train, but finds not the conductor but the Baron's ghost who tears off the control panel before disappearing. The gang still manage to save the last car, the people, and themselves just as the train derails and explodes. As they arrive in town, the people in the car are the Inspector Krunch, the burgermeister and Iago. He takes them to the castle, where they meet Mrs. Vanders, the housekeeper. They arrive in the Baron's laboratory and find the created monster in solid ice. Perturbed by this revelation, Velma vows to recreate the experiment in order to prove that the monster is a fake and tells everyone else to leave. As the rest of the gang leave, Vanders shows Velma a machine which hypnotizes her.

Strange things start happening when the gang goes to a village festival. Daphne is shocked to find that she suddenly become morbidly obese after trying on a dirndl at a clothing store; Shaggy and Scooby win a local eating contest, but upon trying on some handmade lederhosen, they suddenly become courageous and no longer hungry; Fred mourns his beloved Mystery Machine. Iago arrives and saves the gang, who are being threatened by the villagers, and he tells the gang Velma has gone insane.

When they return, Velma now has become drastically different and brought the monster back to life. Shaggy and Scooby, who are still brave, decide to capture the monster themselves. Velma manages to knock out the monster and decides to remove Shaggy and Scooby's brains to put them in it, stating the two of them together have one brain. Things start to get better, as Fred finds a workshop and builds a new mystery machine out of a carriage, Daphne finds that the dirndl has an inflatable suit built into it and the monster rips off Shaggy and Scooby's new outfits, turning them back to their former selves, they had Acupuncture needles. They break free of their restraints and run for their lives, but Velma releases the monster in order to recapture them. When the monster starts to chase them, it accidentally hits the lever of the machine that hypnotized Velma, causing it to revert her back to normal. Iago appears and tells them that they need to leave the castle because it is about to explode. They manage to escape and fake their deaths.

They lure the burgermeister, Krunch, a gypsy, and Vanders to the express train. They trap them in an express car as the train drives. Just as the mystery seems to be solved, the monster reappears, revealed to be a robot with Iago, who then reveals he's actually an undercover DOD agent named Shimidlap. He says that one of their exoskeletons was stolen from their research labs and traced it to Transylvania. It is soon revealed that instead of a culprit, it was actually a conspiracy of revenge. Krunch is revealed to be Crawley, who is actually Cuthbert Crawls, the partner of Cosgood Creeps where they haunted a mansion as the Green Ghosts. The burgermeister is revealed to be C.L. Magnus, who posed as Redbeard's ghost, and then the gypsy is revealed to be Lila, a singer who posed as one of Mamba Wamba's zombies. Finally, Vanders is revealed to be Mama Mione, who posed as Old Iron Face and that the mask used for the Baron disguise was reused from that persona. The quartet reveal that they wanted to get revenge on the gang and once they discover the history of Velma's ancestry, they bought the castle that was sitting on the natural gas which is explosive, but did not know that they could've made a fortune by selling the property. They are soon arrested once again, the Mystery Machine is rebuilt and the gang takes off.

title: Two Singing Boys with a Lute and a Music Book

text:
Two singing boys with a lute and a music book is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted c. 1625 and now in the Museum Schloss Wilhelmshöhe.

Painting
This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1910, who wrote:
"TWO BOYS SINGING. B. 98; M. 224 - The boy on the right is seen in a three-quarter view facing left. He is in dark clothes with a white collar and a plumed cap. He holds in his left hand a lute resting on the table, while he beats time with his right hand. He looks down to the left at an open music-book on the table. Behind him to the left is the head of another boy, who looks at the music and sings with him.
Signed on the left at foot with the monogram; canvas, 26 inches by 20 1/2 inches."

Hals has "an accomplice" peering over his shoulder, and besides the other two paintings already mentioned, this theme of a main subject with a secondary witness was common to many of his paintings of the 1620s:

title: Aerial Manx

text:
Aerial Manx. is an Amsterdam-based Australian sideshow entertainer who has pioneered the field of acrobatic sword swallowing. Aerial Manx was born on 18 March 1986 in Melbourne, Australia.

Early life
Aerial Manx was born in 1986 in Melbourne, Australia. He began training in Martial Arts at age four, branding him with a unique understanding of physicality and mental focus. At age 15, Aerial was introduced to circus through the Circus Oz youth program. By age 17, Aerial had achieved a first Dan black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and was regularly traveling to Melbourne from South-East Victoria to attend Australia's first self-run Youth Circus, Trick Circus.

Career
Aerial enrolled at the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) at age 19, and completed his training at the school with his graduating performance during the 2007 NICA production of DiVino. While studying at NICA, Aerial focused on sideshow and mind-over-matter stunts as well as being trained Aerial Dance under Holly Rollins, an ex-Cirque Du Soleil performer. After leaving NICA in 2007, Aerial began his professional performing career performing fire eating in various nightclubs throughout Melbourne. During this initial stage, Aerial also began performing street theatre on the streets of Melbourne CBD. Aerial's busking show started out with basic skills, gradually building up to a duo show with The Great Gordo Gamsby, and has since built up to be a highly energetic solo circle busking show that showcases his skills in contortion, contact juggling, acrobatics and his signature stunts in the field of sword swallowing acrobats. Aerial has performed his busking show throughout the UK, Europe, South East Asia and the vast majority of Australia.
At the 2007/8 Woodford Folk Music Festival, Aerial performed his first "world first" stunt with a double neon-tube swallow, swallowing two separate 2,000v simultaneously. Earlier in his career, Aerial was a member of the Kaos Kreepshow as well as the Opposable Thumbs Sideshow, and now performs group shows predominantly with The League of Sideshow Superstars and Solid State Circus
Aerial continues to maintain excellent skill levels in Contact Juggling, Juggling, Acrobatics, Contortion, Fire Eating, Glass walking, Blockhead, Suspension/Suspension Dance and various other forms of prop manipulation.

Some highlights of Aerial's career have been performing at the Glastonbury Festival in 2014, winning the People's Choice Award at the 2014 Auckland International Busking Festival, performing his solo theatre shows "False Messiah" and "Not Dead Yet" at the Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth Fringe Festivals and performing at a private function for Usher and the cast of his 2011 OMG Tour in Melbourne.

Development of Sword Swallowing Acrobatics
In 2008 at age 22, Aerial performed the World's First 'Handstand Sword Swallow', absolutely redefining extreme sword swallowing and pioneering the field of 'Sword Swallowing Acrobatics'. In 2010, Aerial undertook four more stunts that were previously not attempted or recorded and his passion for developing this field grew stronger. In March 2011, Aerial spent a day in the gardens of Melbourne CBD performing numerous stunts and being filmed for an unfinished documentary titled Aerial Manx, King of Swords. These stunts included the now signature move of Aerial Manx, the Sword Swallow backflip. This stunt was filmed when Aerial was invited to be a part of the Anatomy Arts documentary series for Matchbox Pictures, which was shot by Carnival Cinema, in the episode titled "Stomach" that was aired on the ABC on 19 March 2013. In this episode, the sword swallow backflip was filmed in breathtaking super-slow motion at 1,000 frames per second.

title: Ftrace

text:
ftrace (Function Tracer) is a tracing framework for the Linux kernel.  Although its original name, Function Tracer, came from ftrace's ability to record information related to various function calls performed while the kernel is running, ftrace's tracing capabilities cover a much broader range of kernel's internal operations.

Details
With its various tracer plugins, ftrace can be targeted at different static tracepoints, such as scheduling events, interrupts, memory-mapped I/O, CPU power state transitions, and operations related to file systems and virtualization.  Also, dynamic tracking of kernel function calls is available, optionally restrictable to a subset of functions by using globs, and with the possibility to generate call graphs and provide stack usage reports.  At the same time, ftrace can be used to measure various latencies within the Linux kernel, such as for how long interrupts or preemption are disabled.

An ftrace-enabled Linux kernel is built by enabling the  kernel configuration option.  The entire runtime interaction with ftrace is performed through readable and writable virtual files contained in a specifically mounted debugfs file system; as a result, ftrace requires no specialized userspace utilities to operate.  However, there are additional userspace utilities that provide more advanced features for data recording, analysis and visualization; examples of such utilities are trace-cmd and KernelShark.

Internally, ftrace relies on the gcc's profiling mechanism to prepend machine instructions to the compiled versions of all source-level kernel functions, which redirect the execution of functions to the ftrace's trampolines and tracer plugins that perform the actual tracing.  These "entry point" instructions created by gcc are altered by ftrace when the kernel is booted, and varied later at runtime by ftrace between NOPs and actual jumps to the tracing trampolines, depending on the tracing types and options configured at runtime.

ftrace is developed primarily by Steven Rostedt, and it was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in kernel version 2.6.27, which was released on October 9, 2008.

title: Colt Model 1909

text:
The Colt Model 1909 was a prototype automatic pistol developed by John Browning for testing by the United States Army Ordnance Corps in 1909.

History
Only 23 examples of the Model 1909 were produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company for testing and evaluation by the United States Army Ordnance Corps. Nine M1909s were shipped to Lieutenant Col. John T. Thompson, who was at that time the Senior Assistant in the Office of the Chief of Ordnance. The M1909 was an improvement on the Colt Model 1907, which was an earlier design by Browning chambered in .45 ACP that was turned down by the United States Department of War due to several issues, including constant jamming. In August 1909, Browning demonstrated his new automatic to Lieutenant Colonel Thompson by firing 500 rounds through it, demonstrating its superiority over the M1907. Thompson wrote a letter to Springfield Armory mentioning that Browning would be arriving shortly with his M1909, so a team of officers was assembled and the new automatic was subjected to a series of standard tests. A total of 722 rounds was fired through the weapon. The M1909 was reported to have performed exceedingly well in contrast with the M1907. The excellent reviews prompted Colt to produce even more, which were tested by other factions such as the United States Cavalry. As opposed to the glowing reports from Springfield Armory, the Cavalry felt that the M1909 was unsafe and overcomplicated for use by regular recruits, as it had no safety. Browning decided, as a result, to design the Colt Model 1910, and, in turn, the Colt M1911.

text:
The Indian Sale of Goods Act, 1930 is a mercantile law which came into existence on 1 July 1930, during the British Raj, borrowing heavily from the United Kingdom's Sale of Goods Act 1893. It provides for the setting up of contracts where the seller transfers or agrees to transfer the title (ownership) in the goods to the buyer for consideration. It is applicable all over India. Under the act, goods sold from owner to buyer must be sold for a certain price and at a given period of time. The act was amended on 23 September 1963, and was renamed to the Sale of Goods Act, 1930. It is still in force in India, after being amended in 1963, and in Bangladesh, as the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 (Bangladesh).

Critical reception
Borbaad got mostly mixed to negative reviews. Madhushree Ghosh of The Times Of India rated the movie 2 and a half stars out of 5. She states that Raj was not in a mood of making a good plot unlike his earlier films such as Proloy and Kanamachi and that's why he leans on making a merely dull love story and some amount of South Indian Film oriented violence. She was also highly critical towards the lead characters' performances stating a emotionless, dull, charisma-lacking acting by both Bonny and Rittika but praised the performance of Sudip Mukherjee as a Muslim Mafia Don. Shoma A. Chatterji of The Indian Express commented that "The editing and cinematography of the action scenes are credible and good but what fails the film miserably is the performance of the romantic lead portrayed by Bonny and Ritika. The only good thing about the movie is Sudip Mukherjee as a ruthless Mafia leader. But ultimately the film is a not-so good one of Raj Chakrobarty". But still it was a blockbuster at box-office

title: Emma Ruth Rundle

text:
Emma Ruth Rundle (born October 10, 1983) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and visual artist based in Portland, Oregon. Formerly of the Nocturnes and Marriages, she has released five solo albums and is a member of Red Sparowes.

Early life and career
Rundle was born in Santa Monica, California and moved “back and forth between the Westside and Eastside” when she was growing up before attending Eagle Rock High School. She was raised in Los Angeles with her younger sister in a household where a lot of folk music was played. As a teenager, Rundle lived with her grandmother until the end of her life.

After a massive earthquake in her hometown, her mother took her into the legendary folk music store McCabe's and told her she could pick one instrument to rent for lessons. She initially chose the Celtic harp before switching to guitar, and later went on to work at McCabe's for 13 years.

Following a year at CalArts and another year in New Zealand, she formed her first band, the Nocturnes, and released the Wellington EP (2008) and two albums, A Year of Spring (2009) and Aokigahara (2011). Rundle also joined Red Sparowes and played on their third album, The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer, released by Sargent House on April 6, 2010.

She self-released an ambient guitar album, Electric Guitar: One, in 2011. It was later reissued in 2014 by Errant Child Recordings. That same year, she formed the trio Marriages with Greg Burns and Dave Clifford, the latter who would be replaced by Andrew Clinco after the release of their first EP, 2012's Kitsune. They also released their first and only full-length album, Salome, in 2015.

On January 7, 2013, she self-released the album Somnambulant, attributed to The Headless Prince of Zolpidem, which she described as "my somewhat anonymous downtempo, somewhat creepy electronic dark wave project".

Rundle's second solo work, Some Heavy Ocean, was released on May 20, 2014, by Sargent House. It was co-produced by Chris Common and recorded at the Sargent House studio. Rundle lived at the studio complex as an artist-in-residence for the period. The release was accompanied by a US tour with King Buzzo.

In January 2017, a split EP with Jaye Jayle, titled The Time Between Us, was announced, and the song "The Distance" was made available on streaming platforms. The EP was released by Sargent House on February 24.

Rundle's fourth studio album, On Dark Horses, was released on September 14, 2018. It featured contributions by Jaye Jayle members Evan Patterson and Todd Cook as well as Dylan Nadon. Also in 2018, Rundle provided backing vocals for "Just Breathe", a song on American rock band Thrice's 2018 album Palms.

In August 2019, Roadburn Festival announced that Rundle was one of two curators for the 2020 edition.

In October 2020, she released a collaboration album with Thou, May Our Chambers Be Full. She also composed the score for the Riley Stearns film Dual.

After a week-long stay in a mental health hospital helped her get sober from drugs and alcohol, she released her fifth studio solo album, Engine of Hell, in November 2021, to positive critical reception. A live recording of Engine of Hell, titled Live At Roadburn, which she performed at the 2022's Roadburn Festival was released separately on July 7, 2023. It was her first independently released album in thirteen years.

On April 8, 2022, she announced a follow-up album to her first album, Electric Guitar: One, titled EG2: Dowsing Voice. Despite the name, the album is a departure from her first album and the rest of her discography, Rundle described it as a "weird art project". Inspired by her stay in coastal Wales in the winter of 2020; where she also recorded the album. it features fully improvised music with special attention towards experimental vocals that are devoid of conventional lyrics. It was released on May 13, 2022.

Personal life

title: New Mexico State Road 159

text:
New Mexico State Road 159 (NM 159) is a  state road located entirely within Catron County, New Mexico, United States. NM 159's western terminus is at U.S. Route 180 (US 180) south of Alma. It heads east via Mogollon to a few miles past Willow Creek Campground in Gila National Forest where it continues as Catron County Route 28 (CR 28), which is also known as Bursum Road.

Route description

NM 159 begins at a junction with US 180 between the communities of Alma to the north and Glenwood to the south. The route heads east-northeast through a sparsely populated semi-arid region until it reaches a junction with Forestry Trail 586, which goes south to NM 174. Past this junction, the route continues its east-northeast trajectory into a mountainous area. After following a winding path through the mountains, the highway reaches Mogollon, a historic mining town.

East of Mogollon, the highway becomes an unpaved, rough single-lane road known as Bursum Road. This section of the road is also twisting and mountainous, and it is closed in winter due to the risk of icy, snowy conditions. The road continues east to Willow Creek Campground in Gila National Forest, where state maintenance ends.

The first episode of season 4 was a surprise series finale, replacing the show with a new spin-off series titled Momma Named Me Sheriff.

Plot
In the small, old-fashioned community of Old Town, the Goodman family and their innocent and dimwitted 6-year-old son Tommy have a satanic border collie dog named Mr. Pickles. The two spend their days romping around Old Town, while unknown to Tommy, the family or anyone  except for Tommy's grandfather – Mr. Pickles secretly slips away to kill and mutilate his countless victims. Mr. Pickles will often reassemble and resurrect his victims which then reside in his underground lair and do his bidding. Through his evil, murderous rampage against those that threaten his boy, get in his way or annoy him, Mr. Pickles brings some order to Old Town, which is otherwise riddled with crime in the face of the dimwitted sheriff.

Production
The series, which is animated using Adobe Flash, was created by Will Carsola and Dave Stewart – known for Funny or Die Presents  – and executive-produced by Will Carsola, Dave Stewart, and Michael J. Rizzo. The series was one of several shows pitched to Adult Swim, according to the creators, who also operate under the name "Day by Day". Stewart recalled promoting it as a "one-line sentence", while Carsola remembered that it derived from a "write-off" session, where the two present ideas to each other in the form of scribbles for their amusement. Carsola explained that ideas in this process are released from the pressure "of them being good", occasionally finding "one that sticks". They later explained at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International that the idea was based on Lassie, but has become "more of its own thing since then."

Stewart's own female Australian Cattle Dog served as inspiration for the animators on the character of Mr. Pickles. Stewart even pointed out similarities between her and the main character, and jokingly called her "Ms. Pickles". Animation director Mike L. Mayfield recorded Stewart's dog playing around on video, with animators using the resulting footage as a basis for the character's movements. Its setting is roughly based on Richmond, Virginia, where the creators started out in entertainment before moving to Los Angeles. The creators are given creative freedom by the network, with Stewart explaining the notes received by them as "minimal", much to their surprise. The creators observed some inconsistencies as to what is considered unacceptable, but try not to question it and compromise instead.

Elaborating on its 11-minute running time, Carsola described it as a 22-minute show "squished" into a quarter-hour. Among the voices for the characters include Brooke Shields, Frank Collison, Jay Johnston and Carsola and Stewart themselves. Shields' role in the series came after looking at the creator's work for Funny or Die and obtaining the script for Mr. Pickles. According to Carsola, the two were dubious over her interest in the series, but after being cast she provided lines in a recording booth in New York City while the creators supervised over Skype.

Episodes

Broadcast and reception
The series was picked up for ten quarter-hour episodes for its first season, premiering on the network on September 21, 2014, following the ninth-season premiere of Squidbillies. In July 2013, the pilot episode was released online as part of a presentation of in-development shows for the network, partnered with KFC; viewers could vote for their favorite pilot, with the winner being broadcast on August 26, 2013. The series lost to Übermansion, a Stoopid Buddy Stoodios production, although the presentation as a whole won an Internet Advertising Campaign Award in 2014 for "Best TV Integrated Ad Campaign". The pilot was later published on the network's website on January 23, 2014, and on YouTube on March 10 of the same year, becoming viral with over 700,000 views after roughly a month later. A second season was mentioned at the 2014 Comic-Con.

Aaron Simpson of Cold Hard Flash called the series an amalgamation of Lassie and Superjail!, while observing some social commentary "to ensure this is more than just a multi-episodic sketch." Mike Hale of The New York Times labeled it "the less tasteful but more mainstream" counterpart to Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories, another addition to the network. He wrote that the show was "more grisly than funny," but predicted it to have a cult following and that Shields' voice would add "surreal-pop-culture cachet".

In Australia, the series premiered on August 3, 2015, on The Comedy Channel, and then moved to the free to air Adult Swim block on 9Go!

In Canada, the series premiered on April 1, 2019, on Adult Swim.

In April 2017, a trailer was released promoting the season 3 premiere to air in fall 2017; however, this was later pushed back, for unknown reasons, to the following year.  The first episode of season three premiered on February 26, 2018. The show was renewed for a fourth season, before the third one even premiered.

title: Gustav Leopold Plitt

text:
Gustav Leopold Plitt (27 March 1836, Genin, near Lübeck – 10 September 1880, Erlangen) was a German Protestant theologian.

From 1854 to 1858, he studied theology at the Universities of Erlangen and Berlin. At Erlangen he was influenced by the work of Johann Christian Konrad von Hofmann. In January 1862, he became a privat-docent of theology at Erlangen, where he later became an associate professor (1867) and a full professor of theology (1876).

Beginning in 1877, he assisted Johann Jakob Herzog with a new edition of "Realenzyklopädie für protestantische Theologie und Kirche" (Edition 2: 18 volumes, 1877–1888). Upon Plitt's death in 1880, edition and publication of the encyclopedia was continued by Herzog and church historian Albert Hauck.

Written works
Plitt's main work, an introduction to the Augsburg Confession ("Einleitung in die Augustana"), was published in two parts:
 First half: Geschichte der evangelischen Kirche bis zum Augsburger Reichstage, 1867 – History of the Protestant Church up until the Augsburg Reichstag.
 Second half: Enstehungsgeschichte des evangelischen Lehrbegriffs bis zum Augsburger Bekenntnisse, 1868 – Original history of the evangelical teaching concept of the Augsburg Confession.
Other noted works by Plitt include:
 Luther vor Kaiser und Reich, (A lecture held in December 1868.) Andreas Deichert, Erlangen 1869 – Martin Luther before the Emperor and Empire.
 Kurze Geschichte der lutherischen Mission in Vorträgen. Andreas Deichert, Erlangen 1871 – A brief history of the Lutheran mission in lectures.
 Die Apologie der Augustana geschichtlich erklärt, Andreas Deichert, Erlangen 1873 – The Apology of the Augsburg Confession.
 Jodokus Trutfetter von Eisenach der Lehrer Luthers in seinem Wirken geschildert. Andreas Deichert, Erlangen 1876 – Jodokus Trutfetter of Eisenach, etc.
