title: Civitella d'Arna

text:
Civitella d'Arna is a frazione of the comune (municipality) of Perugia in central Italy, and the Ancient city and former bishopric Arna, which remains a Latin Catholic titular see.

Town
What was once an important town but now only a village of some 350 inhabitants stands atop a small hill (333 metres above sea level) about 9 kilometres east of the city of Perugia, the capital of Umbria (and of Perugia Province). On one side, it provides a view of that city along its main axis from the bell towers of San Pietro and San Domenico, to the Rocca Paolina fortress, the bell tower of the Palazzo dei Priori, the gateway of Porta Sole and the Convent of Monteripido. On the other side, it looks towards Assisi, Spello, Trevi, Bastia, the dome of Santa Maria degli Angeli, and beyond them to Foligno, Bevagna, Montefalco, and as far as the Rocca (castle) of Spoleto.

History
Civitella d'Arna boasts of Umbrian origins, but it was the Etruscans who were chiefly responsible for its development in the 4th century BC. The Ancient name Arna in the Etruscan language meant "river current" and probably referred to its position between the rivers Tiber and Arno. Under Roman rule, it continued to be important and was the seat of a bishop by the end of the 5th century AD, in the last decade of which a Bishop Vitalianus held the see.

The barbarian hordes of Totila devastated it in 548–549 and it ceased to be an episcopal see. The centuries-long struggles between Byzantines and Lombards brought further decline to the town, which saw its bishopric suppressed in 588 or 589. Only in the 13th century was the building of its hilltop castle completed.

Titular see
At the request of the then Archbishop of Perugia, the Holy See acknowledged the former existence of the residential bishopric of Arna, by inserting its name among the Latin titular sees recognized by the Catholic Church. as Latin Titular bishopric of Arna (Latin = Curiate Italian) / ) (Latin adjective).

It has had the following incumbent(s), so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :
 Camillo Ballin, Comboni Missionaries (M.C.C.J.) (2005.07.14 – ...), as Apostolic Vicar of Northern Arabia (Kuwait-based).

Sights
 The 13th-century castle stands on foundations of a Roman-era cistern, whose remains can be seen. It underwent adjustments under the local noble families of the Sozi, the Degli Azzi Vitelleschi, the Spinola, and the present owners, the Baldelli. It has an entrance bastion and a fine 14th-century arch. Traces of walls of the Etruscan and Roman periods are built into its outer walls.
 A 19th-century parish church inside the castle. It contains a 1492 gonfalone attributed to Bartolomeo Caporali, a painting on wood by Domenico Bruschi of Perugia, a 19th-century crucifix, a Deruta ceramic of the end of the 16th century, and a fresco attributed to Giannicola di Paolo, of the school of Perugino. The bronze church bells of 1850 weigh respectively 536, 264 e 127 kilograms.
 A ruined 11th-century chapel in the cemetery.
 The 17th-century convent of the Filippini Fathers, summer residence of the Filippini of the Chiesa Nuova in Perugia. Walls of Roman cisterns serve as its foundations. The 14th-century chapel has 18th-century stuccoes and a painting on canvas by Francesco Appiani.
 A 1562 fountain at Osteria built by Francesco di Orsino Sozi to a design by the architect Guido Caporali.
 Villa Floramonti (17th century) on the road to Sant'Egidio, built by Cardinal Pompeo Floramonti.

Many archaeological finds from the area are on display in the Archaeological Museum of Perugia. However, a bronze head of Hypnos (the god of sleep), perhaps a 1st or 2nd-century AD copy of a Hellenistic original, was found at Civitella d'Arna in the early nineteenth century and is now part of the Castellani Collection in the British Museum.

Reception
, the film holds a 43% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, based on 28 reviews with an average rating 5.1 out of 10. The site's consensus reads: "A story of redemption held together with flashbacks, Take has moments of emotional intensity, but is ultimately undone by preachiness."  Metacritic rated it 22/100.  Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote, "[T]he fragmented past is far more dramatic and suspenseful than the present-day story of retribution, which creates a sense of imbalance and spiritual anticlimax."  Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "grueling, hard-to-take drama that is well worth the viewer's effort".  Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times rated it 2/4 stars and called it "a monotonous slog through dirgeland".  Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Take is called a thriller in its press notes, but it's really one of those tragedy-under-a-microscope slogs that assumes a surfeit of storytelling angles makes a harrowing incident automatically more interesting."  Nathan Lee of The New York Times wrote, "If there is anything the cinema needed less than another angst-ridden, cross-cutting tragedy about crime, fate, memory and redemption, it's the kind shot in an ugly monochromatic palette suggesting a world drained of emotions and filmmakers parched of imagination."

title: Somali Women's Democratic Organization

text:
Somali Women's Democratic Organization (SWDO) was a women's organization in Somalia, founded in 1977.  It belonged to the Somali Revolutionary Socialist Party during the regime of President Siad Barre.

History
The SWDO was established with the support of President Siad Barre in 1977 in memory of Hawo Tako, a female member of the anti-colonialist Somali Youth League, who was killed by the Italian forces in 1948.  It was established to enforce the policy of women's rights of the Communist Barre regime, and the regime appointed its female leadership in order to maintain female compliance with the government.

At the time of the foundation of the SWDO, women's rights and equality was only barely initiated in Somalia.  After Somalia gained its independence from colonial powers in 1960, both men and women were given the right to vote.  In practice however, it was not until after Supreme Revolutionary Council (Somalia) came to power in 1969, that women's rights were prioritized by the government. The Family Law of 1975 gave equal rights to women and men regarding marriage, divorce and inheritance, and restricted polygamy.  Two years later, the SWDO was established.

The policy of gender equality enforced by the government through the SWDO had a marked effect on women's position. Women participated in society in a number of ways, such as female school enrollment, women in the workplace, women's participation in politics and the military, and all increased during the 1970s and the 1980s.

After the fall of the Barre regime in 1991, Islamic extremism effectively eliminated the legal rights of women in Somalia.

title: Eastman Hill Rural Historic District

text:
The Eastman Hill Rural Historic District is a historic district encompassing a rural landscape consisting of three 19th-century farmsteads near the village of Center Lovell, Maine.  It covers  of the upper elevations of Eastman Hill, and is bisected by Eastman Hill Road.  The area has been associated with the Eastman family since the early 19th century, and was one of the largest working farms in Lovell.  Although the three properties were treated separately for some time, they were reunited in the early 20th century by Robert Eastman, a descendant of Phineas Eastman, the area's first settler.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

Phineas Eastman House
The Phineas Eastman House is a connected farmstead, consisting of a main house built out of brick, a clapboarded wood-frame ell, and a shingled barn.  The house is a -story structure that is located close to Eastman Hill Road, near the crest of the hill.  Its gable roof is lined parallel to the road, and its front and side have a single-story sunporch which was added c. 1915, and which now obscures the Federal-style entrances to the house.  The ell connecting the house to the barn appears to have been added about 1912.  The barn is estimated to be mid-19th century, with later Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival alterations.

The main house was built by Phineas Eastman c. 1830, and was probably the second house he built on the land (purchased in 1816 and likely farmed soon thereafter).  It was also very likely the first brick house in Lovell, an indication of Eastman's success.

John Charles House
The John Charles House is located northwest of Eastman's house, and was also built c. 1830.  Phineas Eastman sold land to John Charles, a nephew of his wife, in 1828.  It is also a connected farmstead, with a -story Cape style wood-frame house, a -story connecting ell, and a barn.  A veranda, again an early 20th century modification, wraps around two sides of the main block.  Shed dormers, added about the same time, increase the second-floor space of the main house.  Its interior woodwork appears to be a mix of original and Colonial Revival work.  There are two outbuildings, an oat house and an orchard shed, both dating to c. 1850, on the property.

Isaac Eastman House
This is a -story Greek Revival wood-frame house, built c. 1850 by Phineas Eastman's son.  It has a typical side hall plan, two bays wide, with Doric pilasters at the corners and an entry framed by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a transom window and scalloped frieze.  An ell extends to the rear of the house, but does not connect to the barn, which dates to the same period as the house.

The 1928 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 6, 1928. Voters chose 12 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Like all former Confederate States, early twentieth-century Virginia almost completely disenfranchised its black and poor white populations through the use of a cumulative poll tax and literacy tests. So severe was the disenfranchising effect of the new 1902 Constitution that it has been calculated that a third of the electorate during the first half of the twentieth century comprised state employees and officeholders.

This limited electorate meant Virginian politics was controlled by political machines based in Southside Virginia — the 1920 would see the building of the Byrd Organization which would control the state’s politics until the Voting Rights Act. Progressive “antiorganization” factions were rendered impotent by the inability of almost all their potential electorate to vote. Unlike the Deep South, historical fusion with the “Readjuster” Democrats, defection over free silver of substantial proportions of the Northeast-aligned white electorate of the Shenandoah Valley and Southwest Virginia, and an early move towards a “lily white” Jim Crow party meant that in general elections the Republicans retained around one-third of the small statewide electorate, with the majority of GOP support located in the western part of the state. However — like in Tennessee during the same era — the parties avoided competition in many areas by an agreed division over local offices.

Virginia was less affected than Oklahoma, Tennessee or North Carolina by the upheavals of World War I and the Nineteenth Amendment, although there was an unsuccessful challenge to lily-white control of the state’s Republican Party in 1921. During the 1920 and 1924 national Republican landslides, the party did not equal its performances during the first four “System of 1896” presidential elections. Additionally, in 1927 an effort to reduce the cumulative property of the state’s poll tax from three years to two was defeated in committee.

At the beginning of the campaign, prohibitionist Reverend David Hepburn, Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Virginia, predicted a bolt by Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina due to the religion and Prohibition issues. Governor Byrd would ultimately endorse Smith in August, but the first poll taken in the second week of October had Hoover ahead of Smith by about seven percent. However, around the time of Smith‘s tour of the state in the middle of the month, when he alleged strong links between the state Republicans and the Ku Klux Klan, other pundits said Smith was sure of carrying Virginia.

At the end of October, the consensus was that Smith would carry the state, but Hoover ultimately gained 53.91 percent of Virginia’s vote. This was only the second occasion when Virginia voted for a Republican president, the first being in 1872 during the Reconstruction era. As in all of the former Confederacy, Hoover gained most in the strongly white counties least concerned with black political power, although in the Tidewater and Virginia Peninsula a number of majority-black counties swung unusually strongly against Smith – Charles City County, indeed, gave Hoover two-third of its ballots. Unlike Florida, Texas, or Alabama, Virginia’s swing to the Republicans also saw the GOP gain three House of Representatives seats, including the home district of Byrd.

Analysis
With all other prominent Democrats sitting the election out, the party nominated Alfred E. Smith, four-term Governor of New York as its nominee for 1928, with little opposition. Smith had been the favorite for the 1924 nomination, but had lost due to opposition to his Catholic faith and "wet" views on Prohibition: he wished to repeal or modify the Volstead Act.

In Virginia — which had had little to no experience of the Catholic immigrants from southern and eastern Europe who were Smith's local constituency – Methodist Episcopal Bishop James Cannon junior, a former ally of Senator Thomas S. Martin, immediately turned sharply against Smith. In 1925, a Catholic, John M. Purcell, who had served a long and loyal apprenticeship in the state party, was nominated by the Democratic Party for state treasurer and won the general election by fewer than twenty-six thousand votes whilst Harry F. Byrd was winning the governorship by almost seventy thousand.

Many prohibitionists in Virginia quickly felt that it would be preferable to vote for the dry Republican nominee, former United States Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, over the wet Catholic Democrat Smith. Senator Claude A. Swanson was the first major state politician to oppose Smith, announcing his opposition on June 22. However, most major newspapers, such as the Staunton News-Leader and Daily-News,  Lynchburg News, Winchester Evening-Star and The Free-Lance Star, would endorse Smith from early in the campaign.

Despite Smith’s attempt to mollify the South by nominating dry Southern Democrat and Arkansas Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson as his running mate early in July, Cannon would step up his campaign against Smith during that month via a widely publicised speech in Asheville. At the beginning of the campaign, however, the Republican National Convention largely wrote off Virginia and campaigned elsewhere in the former Confederacy; however, former Ninth District Congressman Campbell Bascom Slemp thought Hoover had a chance and worked strenuously to build support in the state.

title: Neue Helvetische Gesellschaft

text:
The Neue Helvetische Gesellschaft (NHG) / "New Helvetic Society") was a non-party political movement in Switzerland, founded in 1914 and subsumed into a successor organisation in 2007.  Its originating objectives were to overcome the country’s national differences, preserve national independence and to resist materialism.  In the 1930s, it became more focused on “national renewal”.

In 1912 the three (by origin francophone) writers Robert de Traz, Alexis François and Gonzague de Reynold produced a manifesto entitled "Pro helvetica dignitate ac securitate"  ("For Swiss dignity and Security”) in which they called for the creation of such a society.   It was founded in the capital, Bern, in 1914.   Groups sprang up quickly in other Swiss cities, including Lausanne, Neuchâtel and  Zürich.   There were also foreign societies set up by expatriate Swiss communities in Berlin, Paris and London.   The name “Neue Helvetische Gesellschaft” was a conscious reference to the "Helvetische Gesellschaft (“Helvetic Society”) which had played an important role promoting reform in Switzerland during the eighteenth century.

From the beginning, the club had more than one objective.  It promoted multi-lingualism, heritage preservation and the diversity of the countryside.   It was in the first instance an association of writers, journalists and academics.   It was initially centred on the French-speaking western cantons of the country which had always been perceived as more socially progressive than the conservative German-speaking cantons, but it also gained support from German-speakers including entrepreneurs and politicians.   In 1914 it acquired nationwide exposure as a result of a speech given by the high-profile poet Carl Spitteler and entitled "Unser Schweizer Standpunkt" (literally "Our Swiss Standpoint").  By 1915 membership had risen to 1,460.  A move to admit women was rejected in 1916, but the decision was reversed two years later, and from 1918 The Society even admitted female members. NHG Membership peaked in 1920 at 2,540.

Following the First World War (from which Switzerland abstained)  the NHG launched a successful campaign for the country to enter the League of Nations.   In the early 1930s it supported the Neue Front.   Later, in 1952, it campaigned energetically and effectively to block the creation of a massive hydro-electric power station at the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen.

In 2007, the society merged with "Rencontres Suisses"/"Treffpunkt Schweiz" ("Swiss Meeting point"): since then the resulting entity has borne the name "Neue Helvetische Gesellschaft-Treffpunkt Schweiz (NHG-TS)".

title: Château de Vieillevie

text:
The Château de Vieillevie is a mediaeval castle in the commune of Vieillevie in the Cantal département of France. The castle is located in the centre of the village on a small rocky hill next to the Mairie.

The original construction dates from the 11th century, with modifications in the 15th and 16th centuries. It consists of a rectangular main building - the corps de logis - with, on the north, a short wing set back on the eastern side. On the south west and north west corners are circular towers. Unusually, the castle still has its wooden hoarding and machicolations. Inside, four beautiful 13th century monumental chimney places have been preserved. The rooms have ceilings covered in beams.

It has been listed since 1993 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. The castle is open to visitors on certain days in the summer months, with candlelit tours some evenings.

title: Toronto House of Industry

text:
In 1834, the United Kingdom passed a new Poor Law which created the system of Victorian workhouses (or "Houses of Industry") that Charles Dickens described in Oliver Twist. Sir Francis Bond Head, the new lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada in 1836, had been a Poor Law administrator before his appointment. Fearing that Head wanted to introduce these workhouses in Toronto, a small group of reformers and dissenting ministers led by publisher James Lesslie and Dr. William W. Baldwin founded the Toronto House of Industry on alternate, humane principles. The Toronto House of Industry was started by the reformers in the ‘unused’ courthouse on Richmond Street in January 1837 where they had previously met as the "Canadian Alliance Society" of which Lesslie had been president. The Toronto House of Refuge and Industry appears to have been founded on the model of the Owenite Socialist "Home Colonies". A constant struggle between the ruling elite, the "Family Compact", and the Reformers to gain control of the institution prevented this plan from ever fully being implemented.

In 1848, a building for the House of Industry was erected at the corner of Elm Street and Elizabeth Street, in the middle of the Toronto district known as The Ward, which housed a highly dense slum populated by successive waves of immigrants.

The House of Industry provided permanent and temporary lodging as well as food and fuel to the needy in the community, who often were required to do chores in return for help. It also assisted abandoned or orphaned children, often placing them as indentured servants in homes and farms in and around Toronto.

By 1947, the clients of Ontario's houses of industry were predominantly the elderly poor and the Toronto House of Industry building was converted into a home for the elderly and renamed Laughlen Lodge after Arthur and Frances Laughlen. When new senior citizens' housing was constructed 1975–83, in association with the Rotary Club of Toronto, the north section of the old House of Industry was preserved as part of the Rotary-Laughlen Centre.

title: St. Andrew's Society of Hong Kong

text:
The St. Andrew's Society of Hong Kong (香港聖安度會) is a Scottish club in Hong Kong established in 1881.

History
In the early 19th century, Canton was the centre of China's foreign trade and the base of the foreign trading community. Several St. Andrew's Dinners, celebration of the St. Andrew's Day, were held during the 1830s in Canton. Being closely associated with the Jardine, Matheson & Co. which was established by the Scotsmen, the Scottish community were strong in Canton as well as Hong Kong, where the Jardine Matheson & Co. set up their headquarters and established their offices and accommodation at East Point after it was occupied by Britain in 1841.

The St. Andrew’s Dinners were held at East Point from the 1850s until it was moved to the Hong Kong Club in Central, at that time located at the corner of Queen’s Road Central and Wyndham Street.

The St. Andrew’s Dinners were turned into an Annual Ball from 1877. Before 1881, the Ball was held by an ad-hoc committee. In 1882, when the St. Andrew's Society was established, Society has been responsible for the St. Andrews's Ball and later the Burns Night.

The St. Andrew's Challenge Quaich (聖安度挑戰碟), which is now held every year at the Happy Valley Racecourse, is founded and awarded by the Society.

Scientific contributions

Contributions to security and IP protection of consumer electronic systems

Mohanty has worked on the Secure Digital Camera (SDC) for real-time security and IP protection at the source end of the information. In the Internet of Things (IoT) framework the SDC can be a sensor node (aka thing) for real-time trustworthy sensing. The SDC can have applications where still image or video digital cameras are needed, such as secure digital video broadcasting, secure video surveillance, electronic passport, and identity card processing. The secure digital camera (SDC) has been adopted by various researchers worldwide.

Contributions to high-level synthesis of digital signal processing (DSP) hardware

Mohanty has worked to high-level synthesis (HLS) or architecture-level synthesis of digital signal processing (DSP) hardware. His methods address energy consumption and power fluctuation in DSP hardware which are heart of consumer electronic systems such that battery life and battery efficiency increases. His nanoelectronic-based High-level synthesis techniques addresses the issue of process variations, the primary issue of nanoelectronic technology, during the high-level synthesis itself before the digital design moves to the detailed and lower levels of design abstractions, such as logic-level or transistor-level.

Contributions to analog electronics and mixed-signal circuits

Mohanty has worked on design space exploration and optimization of analog/mixed-signal system on a chip (AMS-SoC) which is essentially the technology representation of a consumer electronics such as a smart mobile phone. The key feature of these design flows is the need for only two manual layout (or physical design) iterations which saves significant design effort. These fast design flows rely on accurate metamodels of the analog and mixed-signal circuit components. This research advances the state-of-the art in Design for Excellence (DfX) or Design for X, such as Design for Variability (DfV) and Design for Cost (DfC).

title: Leicester City F.C. in international football

text:
Leicester City Football Club is an English football club based in Leicester, Leicestershire. The club was founded in 1884 and has competed in the English football league system since 1894. The 2016–17 UEFA Champions League was their fourth appearance in Europe, following campaigns in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1961–62, and the UEFA Cup in 1997–98 and 2000–01. Leicester have been eliminated by Atlético Madrid on three of their four European appearances. The club have also entered the UEFA Europa Conference League, the Anglo-Italian Cup, the Anglo-Scottish Cup and the Texaco Cup.

UEFA competitions

1961–62 European Cup Winners' Cup

Leicester were beaten finalists in the 1961 FA Cup Final, losing 2–0 to Tottenham Hotspur. However, as Spurs had won the league as well as the FA Cup, they qualified for the 1961–62 European Cup, and Leicester took their Cup Winners' Cup place. Their preliminary round opposition were Glenavon, who became the first participant in the European Cup Winners' Cup to hail from Northern Ireland. A three-goal blast in ten minutes helped Leicester take the first leg at Windsor Park 4–1. Leicester won the second leg 3–1, sending them through to the first round.

Double Copa del Generalísimo-winning Atlético Madrid were the opposition. The home leg at Filbert Street finished 1–1. However Leicester lost 2–0 at the Estadio Metropolitano de Madrid, halting their progress. Atléti went on to win the tournament.

1997–98 UEFA Cup

Under Martin O'Neill, Leicester won the Football League Cup in 1996–97, beating Middlesbrough in the Final. This League Cup was the club's first silverware for 26 years, and it allowed Leicester to qualify for the UEFA Cup, their first major European competition in thirty-six years. English clubs Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool also qualified.

The draw matched City up with Atlético Madrid. In Leicester's first major European tournament match since the clubs last met back in 1961, the Madrid club won the first leg 2–1, at their Vicente Calderón Stadium. Leicester lost the home tie 2–0 and the Midland club were eliminated. Juninho–who was in the Middlesbrough team beaten by City in the League Cup final–scored in both legs, while Ian Marshall was the sole Leicester goalscorer.

2000–01 UEFA Cup

O'Neill's Leicester side won the League Cup again in 1999–2000, this time beating Tranmere Rovers in the Final, the last to be held at the old Wembley Stadium. This saw Leicester awarded a place in the UEFA Cup, alongside fellow English clubs Chelsea and Liverpool. However, O'Neill left Leicester for the manager's job at Celtic on 1 June 2000, and was replaced on 12 June by Peter Taylor. According to Stephen Wagg in the December 2001 issue of When Saturday Comes: "By contrast [to O'Neill], Taylor was gauchely optimistic". Speaking on BBC Radio Leicester in the summer of 2000, Taylor opined "I've looked around the other squads in the Premiership, and I can only think of six that are stronger than ours. I think we’ve got a good chance of getting into Europe".

The Foxes drew Red Star Belgrade in the first round. Alarm bells in England rang almost immediately, owing to a general election in FR Yugoslavia scheduled the same week as Leicester's planned visit to Belgrade, with the Foreign Office fearing "civil unrest". David Davies, then chief executive of the Football Association, termed the situation as "very delicate". BBC Sport succinctly referred to the situation as a "nightmare trip". Amid media reports of their withdrawal from the tournament, the Foxes made the decision to request a venue change, following a similar move the season before when Leeds United faced Red Star's eternal rivals Partizan in Heerenveen, the Netherlands. Despite an appeal from Red Star, UEFA elected to stage the game at a neutral ground, a week later than originally planned.

The first leg was a 1–1 draw with Gerry Taggart cancelling out Milenko Ačimovič's early opener–clocked at 47 seconds by Reuters, who called it "one of the fastest goals in UEFA Cup history". To attempt to counter the away goal the opposition had scored and seal the tie in the second leg, Taylor had planned to start Stan Collymore, however a poor performance in the televised match against Everton the previous Sunday saw him dropped. The second leg, held at the Gerhard Hanappi Stadium in Austria–home to Vienna club Rapid–finished 3–1 to the 'home' side, with Muzzy Izzet scoring Leicester's goal. A dreadful start to the following season saw Taylor sacked on 30 September 2001.

2016–17 UEFA Champions League

On 9 April 2016, Leicester City, who were placed first in the league, secured a Champions League group stage spot, and on 2 May 2016 clinched their first national league title. Therefore, they were seeded for the group stage draw due to the Premier League being among Europe's top eight leagues.

The draw was made on 25 August 2016 and they were drawn in Group G with Porto, Club Brugge, and Copenhagen. Leicester City's first-ever match in the European Cup was played on 14 September 2016. Marc Albrighton scored City's first-ever goal in the competition with Riyad Mahrez adding 2 more for the 3–0 victory away to Belgian champions Club Brugge.

In their first home game at the European Cup, on 27 September 2016, Leicester beat Porto 1–0 with Islam Slimani scoring the only goal with a header.
On 18 October 2016, the Foxes made it three out of three with a 1–0 win at home against the Danish champions Copenhagen. The goal was scored in the first half by Riyad Mahrez.
The reverse fixture against Copenhagen was played on 2 November 2016 and remained goalless with Kasper Schmeichel making a vital save in the last minute.
Leicester secured the first place in the group and a place in the next round with a comfortable 2–1 win against Club Brugge on 22 November 2016, Shinji Okazaki and Riyad Mahrez were the scorers while José Izquierdo netted the first-ever goal against the Foxes in the European Cup.
In the last game of the group stage, on 7 December 2016, City lost catastrophically to Porto, conceding five goals. André Silva scored twice, once from the penalty spot, with Jesús Corona, Yacine Brahimi and Diogo Jota adding one goal each.

As Group G winners, Leicester were seeded for the next round draw, which took place on 12 December 2016. City got Spanish side Sevilla, the Group H runners-up. The first leg was played in Spain and was scheduled for 22 February 2017, Leicester lost 1–2, the scorers for Sevilla were Pablo Sarabia and Joaquín Correa, while Jamie Vardy netted for the Foxes in the 73rd minute for a vital away goal.
The second leg was played on 14 March 2017. Leicester won 2–0 courtesy of goals from Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton. Kasper Schmeichel saved a penalty from Steven Nzonzi with ten minutes to go, sealing the win. This meant Leicester advanced to the quarter-finals.

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was held on 17 March 2017, and Leicester were drawn against the last season's runners-up – Atlético Madrid. The first leg was played on 12 April and City lost 0–1, following a controversial penalty, scored by Antoine Griezmann.
The second leg, played on 18 April, finished 1–1. Saúl Ñíguez opened the scoring, but his goal was cancelled out by Jamie Vardy. This result subsequently saw Leicester exit the Champions League as quarter-finalists, with the aggregate finishing 1–2 to Atlético Madrid on the night.

2020–21 UEFA Europa League

Leicester finished 5th in the 2019–20 Premier League, so they qualified for Europe for the first time since 2016–17, entering the Europa League in the group stage. On 5 October 2020, they were drawn against Braga, AEK Athens and Zorya Luhansk in the group stages. The Foxes secured qualification to the knockout phase with two games to spare. Leicester sealed top spot in the group, and with it seeding for the next round's draw, in the 2–0 victory at home to AEK in the final Group G game.

Leicester drew Slavia Prague in the Round of 32, and registered a goalless draw away from home in the first leg. Leicester lost 0–2 at home in the second leg, and were thus eliminated from the tournament 0–2 on aggregate.

2021–22 UEFA Europa League and Europa Conference League
Leicester city were drawed into group c with SSC Napoli, Legia Warszawa and Spartak Moskva. On 16 September 2021 they drew to Napoli. on 30 September they lost to Legia Warsawa. on 20 October they won over Spartak Moskva. on 4 November they drew to Spartak Moskva. On 25 November they won over Legia Warsawa. On 9 December they had to win over Napoli, but they lost to Napoli, and finshed third in group c and went into 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League. On 17 February 2022 they won over Randers, on 24 February they won over Randers 2 to 7 on aggerate. On 10 march they won over Rennes, on 17 march they lost to Rennes but won 3-2 on aggerate. In the next round they drew PSV. In the first leg they drew nil nil, in the second leg they won 1 to 2 and advanced onto the semi finals. They drew AS Roma in the semi finals. In the first leg they drew 1 to 1, in the second leg they lost 1 nil to AS Roma knocking Leicester city out of Europe.

Minor trophies

Anglo-Italian Cup
Leicester appeared three times in the Anglo-Italian Cup, which was held between teams from Italy and England which had not qualified for European competitions. Leicester's first appearance in 1972 saw them play against Cagliari and Atalanta, losing their away games and winning their home matches. Under the tournament format, the English and Italian teams were ranked in separate tables according to their results - Leicester finished 3rd of the 6 English teams  and were eliminated. The tournament was cancelled in 1973, but revived for four seasons from 1992–93. Leicester competed in the first two editions of the revived tournament, but were eliminated in the preliminary rounds both times. In 1992–93, they defeated Grimsby Town but lost to Newcastle United; in 1993–94, they were defeated by Peterborough United and lost to West Bromwich Albion.

Texaco and Anglo-Scottish Cups
The Foxes entered the Texaco Cup, which ran for five seasons, twice. In 1972–73 they eliminated Dundee United in a penalty shoot-out after two draws. Leicester were pitted against Norwich City for the second round. After both legs finished 2–0 to the respective home teams after extra time, Norwich progressed by winning the penalty shoot-out 4–3. The next season, Leicester progressed past Ayr United drawing 1–1 in Scotland and winning 2–0 at home; in the second round, Dundee United gained revenge for the previous year's elimination, winning 1–0 in Dundee and holding Leicester to a 1–1 draw in England.

After Texaco dropped their sponsorship of the tournament, the Anglo-Scottish Cup was created in the 1975–76 season, using a group stage format in which each team would play the others in the group once, with only the team finishing top of the group progressing. Leicester were in Group 2 of the English Qualifiers, with Hull City, Mansfield Town and West Bromwich Albion. Inconsistency ensured that City would not progress as they registered one win, one draw and one loss.

title: Maine Archaeological Survey site 21.26

text:
Maine Archaeological Survey site 21.26 is a Native American rock art site in Lovell, Maine.  The site is on a rock formation that overlooks a lake in an area known to be frequented in historical times by bands of Abenaki.  It has depictions of human figures, including two stick-like figures with raised arms, as well as a third image that has apparently been partially destroyed.  These images were creating by pecking or dinting, probably with a stone tool.  The artwork also included the use red ochre, and was generally overlaid by carbonaceous material dated by radiocarbon dating methods to about 1,000 BCE.  The site was visited by state archaeologists in 1991, who mapped, photographed, and took surface plaster prints of the images.

The images found at the site are stylistically consistent with others found further north, on the Canadian Shield, and are not obviously related stylistically to petroglyphs found elsewhere in Maine.  They are among a small number of examples in Maine of what are believed to be non-mortuary shamanistic practices.  Variations in the artwork that have survived the weathering process suggest that sites like this were repeatedly visited, possibly by different individuals, over unknown periods of time.  The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

title: The Girl with All the Gifts

text:
The Girl with All the Gifts is a science fiction novel by M. R. Carey, published in June 2014 by Orbit Books. It is based on his 2013 Edgar Award-nominated short story Iphigenia In Aulis and was written concurrently with the screenplay for the 2016 film. It deals with a dystopian future in which most of humanity is wiped out by a zombie-like fungal infection.

The title is a loose translation of "Pandora".  The Pandora myth appears in the story in several different ways.

Plot
Twenty years ago, humanity was infected by a variant of the fungus native to South America called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, which led to the Breakdown - the end of civilization as it was before. The infected, referred to as "hungries", quickly lose their mental powers and feed on the flesh of healthy humans. The disease spreads through blood and saliva, but can also spread airborne through spores created by the fungus. In England, the few surviving uninfected humans either live in heavily guarded areas such as Beacon, or roam in packs of hostile, scavenging "junkers".

The authorities in Beacon set up a remote military base for the study of a specific group of child hungries. They, unlike others, are able to retain their mental powers and only lose control when they get too close to human scent. The only way to hide the scent is to use a substance called e-blocker, which is in limited supply.

Soldiers, led by Sergeant Eddie Parks, find such child hungries and bring them to the base, Hotel Echo, which is 30 miles outside of London and 74 miles outside of Beacon. At the base, the children are educated by teachers and tested by the head scientist, Dr Caroline Caldwell. This often means she vivisects the children, which Helen Justineau, a behavioural psychologist and teacher at the base, dislikes. Justineau sees the child hungries as people, and is especially fond of Melanie, a 10-year-old with a genius-level IQ who loves Greek mythology. Melanie loves Justineau as a surrogate mother. Like the other children, Melanie does not understand that she is different from the adults.

Dr Caldwell, who believes that she is close to a cure for the fungus, chooses to dissect Melanie. As Justineau interrupts and tries to save her, the base is attacked by a group of junkers and hungries; Caldwell is badly wounded, and in saving Justineau, Melanie eats flesh for the first time. The three find Parks and Private Kieran Gallagher, and flee the base together. The group decides to travel to Beacon, 74 miles away, argue over whether to bring Melanie. Parks only agrees after placing a muzzle and handcuffs on the child and making her ride on the roof of the tank. Melanie cooperates, now aware of the danger she poses to the others.

Melanie proves useful to the adults; hungries do not attack her and she can lead them away. While Caldwell still sees Melanie as a specimen, the others begin to trust the child. After several encounters with hungries, including a few adults that also retain some human-like behavior, the group finds the mobile laboratory Rosalind Franklin, which has state-of-art facilities for experimentation and attack, but disappeared on its research mission. Caldwell, who is dying from sepsis, uses its equipment to urgently continue her research.

While Melanie sates her hunger away from the others by eating wild animals, she finds a group of child hungries. Melanie sees that they, too, retain their mental functions, although they have no language of their own, being uneducated. Afraid that they will be experimented on, Melanie instead tells the adults she saw a large group of junkers, but reveals the truth to Justineau. Gallagher, scared of junkers, flees the lab. He is found by the intelligent hungries and eaten.

While Parks and Justineau search for Gallagher, Caldwell—obsessed with finishing her research before dying—captures one of the intelligent hungries and experiments on him. She makes remarkable findings but does not let the others inside, fearing that they will interfere. Melanie finds a giant mass of fungal fruiting bodies that have grown in the years since the infection began; while there are enough spores to infect the entire world by air currents, the pods that contain the spores (sporangia) do not open on their own.

Melanie tricks Caldwell into letting her inside. Before dying, Caldwell shares her findings with Melanie: There is no cure or vaccine for the fungus. Intelligent hungries are second-generation ones, conceived by hungries who retained some human behavior. Those born in this way retain their mental abilities.

Outside the lab, Parks and Justineau are cornered by hungries. Melanie frightens them away, but Justineau is knocked unconscious and Parks is bitten and infected. Parks asks Melanie to shoot him before the infection cycle finishes so he does not turn into a hungry; she agrees to do so. She asks him to shoot the mass of spores with a flamethrower, deducing correctly that the environmental trigger to open the spores is fire. Melanie explains before she kills Parks that as long as there are healthy humans, the war between them and the hungries will continue. For second-generation hungries to be born and rebuild the world, every human must first be infected.

Justineau awakens in the Rosalind Franklin. Melanie leads her to a group of intelligent hungries, to whom Justineau, wearing an environmental protection suit, starts teaching the alphabet.

Reception
The Girl with All the Gifts received acclaim from critics, who praised its variation from typical zombie fiction as well as the depth of its characters. Torie Bosch of Slate called it a "crossover horror at its best" and wrote: "It's a welcome shift from the focus of many zombie stories ... The Girl With All the Gifts turns eating brains from the usual empty-calorie snack into a full, complex, palate-challenging meal." Writing for The Guardian, James Smythe praised the book as being "original, thrilling and powerful" and wrote: "Were the characters not so strong, the book might fall apart. The plot is rather slight, and the ending feels a little rushed; but the characters are so well drawn and so human that it's impossible not to feel for them." Miles of Entertainment Weekly concurred, writing: "The character at the story's heart may have no pulse, but Melanie is empathetic and sympathetic, and her deeply tragic existence is proof that zombie tales can elicit an emotion other than fear." While NPR's Genevieve Valentine was critical of the protagonist's narrative, which "veer[ed] occasionally and abruptly in one direction or the other", she still found the book to be "grotesque and grimly hopeful by turns, underscored by lovingly detailed infection in both metaphorical and very literal terms: Spores and hopelessness are equally contagious."

Film adaptation

Not long after the book's release, M.R. Carey announced that the book would be made into a movie, and that the movie's title would differ from the book; it was announced as She Who Brings Gifts. The title was changed in June 2016 to match the book.

Filming began in May 2015, with newcomer Sennia Nanua in the lead role of Melanie, Gemma Arterton as Helen Justineau, Glenn Close as Caroline Caldwell, and Paddy Considine as Sergeant Parks. TV veteran Colm McCarthy directed the movie. It is McCarthy's second feature-length film. The film's screenplay was adapted by the author. The film, with its title changed back to match the novel, was released on Friday 23 September 2016.

Prequel
In 2017, Carey published a prequel novel entitled The Boy on the Bridge about a team of scientists and soldiers on a mission to find a cure for the fungal infection, which is set some time before The Girl with All the Gifts.

title: John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness

text:
John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness (died 1789) was a Scottish noble, Earl of Caithness and chief of the Clan Sinclair, a Highland Scottish clan.

John was the eldest son of William Sinclair, 10th Earl of Caithness who died in 1779.

John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness entered the army as an ensign in the 17th Regiment of Foot in September 1772. On 27 December 1777 he became a major in the 76th Regiment of Foot. He served for some time in America where he was wounded in the groin by a musket ball while reconnoitering with Sir Henry Clinton at the Siege of Charleston. Sinclair succeeded his father as earl in 1779 and he held the rank of lieutenant-colonel in February 1783. (The 76th was disbanded in 1784 in Scotland). Sinclair died suddenly in 1789 in London in the 33rd year of his age. He had committed suicide by shooting himself and was buried at St Marylebone Parish Church, City of Westminster, London.

John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness having died in 1789 ended the direct line of the Sinclair of Greenland and Rattar branch of the Clan Sinclair. The Sinclair of Freswick branch, who descended from William Sinclair of Rattar (d.1663) were the only remaining collateral branch of the Sinclair of Greenland and Rattar branch, and had John Sinclair of Freswick outlived John Sinclair, 11th Earl, he would have succeeded to the earldom. However, Sinclair of Freswick died in 1784 and the earldom therefore went to Sir James Sinclair of Mey who was a direct lineal descendant of George Sinclair, 4th Earl of Caithness.
