title: Ecclitica torogramma

text:
Ecclitica torogramma, also known as the ponga ugly nestmaker, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.

Taxonomy
This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1897 using specimens collected by George Hudson in Wellington and named Cacoecia torogramma.

Description

The larva is small and green with a brown head and when mature is under 10 mm in length.

Meyrick described the adult female of this species as follows:

Distribution
This species is endemic to New Zealand and is found throughout the North Island and in the northern parts of the South Island.

Habitat and hosts
This species inhabits native forest. Its larval host plant is the silver fern.

Behaviour
The larvae create a nest for themselves by weaving the growing tips of the fronds of its host plant together with silk webbing. They consume these fronds during spring and summer. Adults of this species are on the wing from September to February. Adults are nocturnal although they can sometimes be seen flying during the day when disturbed. They are attracted to light. The adult moths can often be located during the day, hiding on the underside of fronds of their host plant.

title: The Giver Quartet

text:
The Giver Quartet is a series of four books about a dystopian world by Lois Lowry. The quartet consists of The Giver (1993), Gathering Blue (2000), Messenger (2004), and Son (2012). The first book won the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold more than 10 million copies. The story takes place in the world of The Giver. Each book has a different protagonist, but is set in the same futuristic era.

Plot

The Giver

The Giver is a 1993 American children's novel, generally for young adults or older, which is set in a society that at first presented as a utopian society but gradually appears more and more dystopian. The novel follows a boy, Jonas, in his twelfth and thirteenth years. The society has eliminated pain and strife by converting itself to "Sameness," a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory, who stores all of the past memories of the time before Sameness, in case the memories that the others lack are ever needed to aid the community leaders, or Elders, in their decisions. Jonas learns the truth about his utopian society and struggles with its weight. The Community lacks any color perception, climate variation, or terrain depth variation (such as hills and valleys); all terrain is completely flat. Sameness emphasizes the utopian qualities of the Community.

The Giver won the 1999 Newbery Medal and has sold more than 10 million copies. In Australia, Canada, and the United States, it is a part of many middle schools' reading lists, but it also appeared in many challenging book lists, such as the American Library Association's list of most challenged books of the 1990s.

The novel forms a loose quartet with three other books set in the same future era: Gathering Blue (2001), Messenger (2004), and Son (2012).

Gathering Blue

Gathering Blue is a 2000 children's dystopian novella that is set in the same future time period and displays some of the same themes as the Giver.

The central character, Kira, who has a deformed leg, is orphaned and must learn to survive in a society that normally leaves the weak or disabled exposed to die in the fields. Kira's father was thought to have been taken by the Beasts while he was on a hunt before she was born. Kira's mother had died recently from a mysterious illness.

Since she is an orphan, Kira needs a reason for the Council of Edifice to keep her in the village, rather than to send her to the Field, which is certain death at the hands of the Beasts. Kira's mother did embroidery for the Council and taught Kira some of her craft. Kira's embroidery skill convinces the Council to keep her around to mend and update a beautiful robe, which shows the society's history. She begins to learn the art of dyeing threads different colors except for blue, which nobody in her community knows how to make except Annabella, Kira's mentor.

Kira also learns more about the truth of her village and the terrible secrets that it holds. She then finds her father, who tells the truth of what happened to him and about the Village he now lives on.

Messenger

Messenger takes place about eight years after The Giver and about six years after Gathering Blue.

Set in an isolated community, known simply as Village, it focuses on a boy, Matty, who serves as a message bearer through the ominous and lethal Forest that surrounds the community. This book also tells the fate of Jonas and baby Gabe from The Giver.

Son

Son follows Claire, Gabriel's birth mother, who embarks on a harrowing and dangerous journey to eventually locate Gabriel. Claire is fourteen when she has Gabriel.

Film adaptation

A film adaptation of the first book was produced by The Weinstein Company and Walden Media. It was released on August 15, 2014, and starred Jeff Bridges as The Giver, Brenton Thwaites as Jonas and Meryl Streep as the Chief Elder.

title: Fähnrich (East Germany)

text:
Fähnrich (short: Fähnr / in lists: FR) was a military rank in the National People's Army (NPA) of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) including the GDR Volksmarine and Border troops, from 1973 to 1990. The minimum service time to this particular type of military specialist was 15 years.

The official manner, in line to NPA Handboock, of formal addressing of military people with the rank Fähnrich was Genosse/Genossin Fähnrich (en: comrade Fähnrich).

Introduction
In line to Minister Order Nr. 168/73, Fähnrich was introduced as new autonomous career group, and rank to the Army, Volksmarine, and the GDR Border troops in 1973. The position of that career group might be compared to the Warrant Officer (WO) rank group in the US-Army. It derives from German Fahne, "flag", and so has means "flag carrier, bannerman."

In 1979 three extra Fähnrich ranks were established (Oberfähnrich, Stabsfähnrich, and Stabsoberfähnrich). With that decision Fähnrich became finally the lowest rank of the Fähnrich rank group, located between commissioned officer (CO) and noncommissioned officer (NCO) ranks.

With that concept the NPA administration followed the Soviet military doctrine, who introduced to the Soviet Army the praporshchik (ru: пра́порщик) rank in 1972, along with the michman (ru: ми́чман; "midshipman") rank in the Soviet Navy. Most other Warsaw Pact countries followed this approach. However, these countries used historical rank designations in order to pursue national military traditions.

Fähnrich ranks were also used in the GDR States security (de: DDR Staatssicherheit - Stasi), and GDR Civil defence (de: Zivilverteidigung der DDR - ZV) as well.

Training
The Fähnrichkorps, was supposed to provide highly specialized "long service members" below the officer level and close a skills gap in the technical careers. While NCOs had the Meisterabschluss , the officers completed their training at the  with a Diplom in engineering, military science, or social sciences. For Fähnriche of the NVA a specialized technical education was aimed for.

First advanced senior NCOs, usually in the rank of Stabsfeldwebel, were promoted to the rank of Fähnrich, even without them having a specialist technical college qualification. This allowed them to retain specialists who would otherwise have retired after their ten years of service.

Later, only Fähnrichschüler could be appointed Fähnrich if they had successfully completed a two-year training course at a military technical school or an Offiziershochschulen of the GDR. This training was carried out partly within the branch of the armed forces the person was serving in, for example, for the NVA Air Forces this was carried out at the . During this training, the soldiers wore Fähnrichschüler ranks that corresponded to their service branch.

Warsaw Pact countries with similar rank designation
On recommendation of the Soviet Union this new rank group was introduced to the so-called brotherly armed forces in most Warsaw Pact countries. However, slight deviations in comparison to the Russian rank designation praporshchik and michman were welcomed, in order to underline national traditions.

 Czechoslovakia ⇒ Praporčík or also Poddůstojník
 Hungary ⇒ Zászlós
 Poland ⇒ Chorąży / Chorąży marynarki
 Romania ⇒ Meistru militar principal (Military master class IV, III, II, I and Senior-military-master)
 Soviet Union ⇒  Прапорщик (Praporshchik) / мичман (michman)

title: St John's Cathedral, Napier

text:
St John's Cathedral, Napier, officially the Waiapu Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist, is an Anglican cathedral church, located in Browning Street, Napier, New Zealand.

Commonly called either Waiapu Cathedral or Napier Cathedral, the cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Waiapu of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. The cathedral serves as the seat (cathedra) for both the Bishop of Waiapu, Andrew Hedge, and for the Bishop of Aotearoa (), Don Tamihere. This cathedrae is a distinctive aspect of Waiapu Cathedral, differing from St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast, which also serves two Anglican dioceses but is the seat of neither.

Construction of the present building was completed 1965, and the cathedral was consecrated on 8 October 1967. It is built in an Art Deco style.

History

The present-day building replaced an earlier cathedral that was destroyed by the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake. Begun in 1886, consecrated in December 1888, and largely complete by 1890, the original cathedral of St John was a brick construction designed by Christchurch architect Benjamin Mountfort. Two lives were lost in the cathedral as a result of the 1931 earthquake. Edith Barry was trapped beneath fallen beams, and was euthanized as flames from the post-earthquake conflagration approached the building. Kate Williams died the following day of injuries sustained in the quake.

Following the total destruction of the first cathedral a temporary building was erected on the site, standing from 1931 until it was closed in 1960.

The current building is widely regarded as a fine example of Art Deco architecture. The design was largely drawn up by Napier architect Kingwell Malcolm, of the firm Malcolm and Sweet, following the untimely death of the selected architect R. S. D. Harman. The stained glass windows were designed by Wellington artist Beverley Shore Bennett.

Bishopric
The Very Rev'd Dr Michael Godfrey, who was installed as Dean by Bishop David Rice in October 2013,  was dismissed by Bishop Hedge in May 2016, following allegations that he had committed adultery twenty five years previously. Godfrey did not deny the allegations, but appealed the dismissal, and was reinstated by order of the national Anglican Appeals Tribunal. Bishop Hedge formally apologized to Dr Godfrey and his family but Godfrey elected not to return to the position. Godfrey went on to be Ministry Educator and an archdeacon in the Anglican Diocese of Dunedin.

The Very Rev'd Di Woods was appointed Dean in May 2022 following the retirement of The Very Rev'd Ian Render.

title: Ernst Kötter

text:
Ernst Kötter (1859-1922) was a German mathematician.

Education
Kötter graduated in 1884 from the University of Berlin under the supervision of Karl Weierstrass and Leopold Kronecker.

Career
Kötter's treatise "Fundamentals of a purely geometrical theory of algebraic plane curves" gained the 1886 prize of the Berlin Royal Academy.

In 1901, he published his report on "The development of synthetic geometry from Monge to Staudt (1847)";
it had been sent to the press as early as 1897, but completion was deferred by Kötter's appointment to Aachen University and a subsequent persisting illness.
He constructed a mobile wood model to illustrate the theorems of Dandelin spheres.

In a discussion with Schoenflies and Kötter, Hilbert reportedly uttered his famous quotation according to which points, lines, and planes in geometry could be named as well "tables, chairs, and beer mugs".

title: The Mahabharata (play)

text:
The Mahabharata () is a French play, based on the Sanskrit epic Mahābhārata, by Jean-Claude Carrière, which was first staged in a quarry just outside Avignon in a production by the English director Peter Brook. The play, which is nine hours long in performance (eleven with intervals), toured the world for four years. For two years the show was performed both in French and in English (it was translated into English by Brook in 1987). The play is divided into three parts: The Game of Dice, The Exile in the Forest and The War. In 1989, it was adapted for television as a six-hour mini series. Later, it was reduced to about three hours as a film for theatrical and DVD release. The screenplay was the result of eight years' work by Peter Brook, Jean-Claude Carrière, and Marie-Hélène Estienne.

Stage history
The original stage play was performed at the 39th Avignon festival, on July 7, 1985, at Carrière de Boulbon. There were 9 representations in a cycle of three plays : "La Partie de dés" (Dice game) on 7, 10, 16, 19, 25, 28 July ; "L'Exil dans la forêt" (The Exil in the forest) on 8, 11, 17, 20, 26, 29 July ; "La Guerre" (The War) on 9, 12, 18, 21, 27, 30 July. And these were played together on Night of Mahabharata, on 13, 22, and 31 July.

The French stage version was produced by:Centre international de recherche théâtrales-Bouffes du Nord - C.I.R.T and  the 39th Festival of Avignon (directed by A. Crombecque) and received the support of the French Culture Ministry and the City of Paris. The set design and costumes by Chloé Obolenski ; stage management by Rémi Jullien ; lights by Jean Kalman. The cast included twenty-one performers from sixteen Countries: Joséphine Derenne (Kunti), Maurice Bénichou (Ganesha, Krishna), Pascaline Pointillart (Amba, Subhadra, servante of Gandhari), Mireille Maalouf (Ganga, Gandhari, Gudeshna), Tam Sir Niane (Madri, Hidimbi), Mallika Sarabhai (Satyavati, Draupadi), Ryszard Cieslak (Dhritarashtra), Clovis (Ekalavya, Uttara, Abhimanyu), Georges Corraface (Dushassana), Jean-Paul Denizon (Nakula, Aswhattaman), Mamadou Dioume (Bhima), Matthias Habich (Yudishthira), Andréas Katsulas (Jayadratha, Salva), Sotigui Kouyaté (Bhishma, Parashurama), Alain Maratrat (Vyasa), Clément Masdongar (Shishupala, Ghatotkatcha, eternal young man), Vittorio Mezzogiorno (Arjuna), Bruce Myers (Karna), Yoshi Oida (Drona, Kitchaka), Andrzej Seweryn (Duryodhana), Douta Seck (king of fishermen, Shakuni, Virata, Sandjaya), Tapa Sudana (Pandu, Shiva, Shalya), Ken Higelin (child), Lutfi Jakfar (child), Nicolas Sananikone (child), Samon Takahashi (child). The musicians included Djamchid Chemirani (percussions), Kudsi Erguner (ney), Kim Menzer (nagaswaram), Mahmoud Tabrizi-zadeh (kamantche), Toshi Tsuchitori (percussions).

Critical reception
In a long article in 1985, The New York Times registered the "overwhelming critical acclaim" the production received and that the play "did nothing less than attempt to transform Hindu myth into universalized art, accessible to any culture". However, many postcololonial scholars have challenged the claim to universalism, accusing the play of orientalism. For instance, Gautam Dasgupta writes that, "Brook's Mahabharata falls short of the essential Indianness of the epic by staging predominantly its major incidents and failing to adequately emphasize its coterminous philosophical precepts."

title: Leyland Royal Tiger PSU

text:
The Leyland Royal Tiger PSU was an underfloor-engined bus and coach chassis manufactured by Leyland between 1950 and 1954.

Description
The Leyland Royal Tiger was an underfloor-engined heavyweight single deck bus or coach chassis, and sold well in the United Kingdom and overseas from launch. "Overseas" versions differed greatly from home market models. Upon launch in 1950 this was the fourth new marque of post-war Leyland single deck bus chassis since 1945. It used the same units as the Leyland-MCW Olympic but with a substantial steel ladder-frame chassis generally straight in elevation but with an up-sweep over the rear axle, to which operators could fit a coach-built body of their choice with the passenger floor about  above the road surface. The flexibly-mounted Leyland 0.600H horizontal engine was mounted in the middle of the chassis frame, driving back through a unit mounted single-plate clutch and four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on second, third, and top, or later only on third and top, to a spiral-bevel rear axle. Steering was unassisted Marles cam and double roller, all component assemblies (save for some special export orders) were built by Leyland and were proven, having been previously used in the Tiger PS2 and/or Olympic.

The last Royal Tigers were completed in 1956, by which time 6,500 had been built. In the home market it had been supplanted by the lighter Tiger Cub which was in series production by 1953 and rapidly overtook the Royal Tiger in popularity with British operators. Whilst export markets demanded even more ruggedness and power, so from 1954 the Worldmaster came on-stream to satisfy them.

Most notably the Royal Tiger was also the first post-war Leyland bus to feature a pictorial badge: a die cast bright metal item with a plated finish featuring a central shield carrying a coloured image of a charging open-mouthed Tiger on a black ground, this surmounted by ‘LEYLAND’ in inset red lettering, with ‘ROYAL’ and ‘TIGER’ on the left and right wings coming from the shield. Later bus models including the Tiger Cub, Worldmaster, Atlantean, Leopard, Lion (PSR1), Royal Tiger Cub, Panther and Panther Cub also featured this style of badge, some Leyland goods models also used the shield badge, including models with the LAD and early Ergomatic cabs and notably the sole Leyland/Thompson Brothers' Dromedary rear-engined fuel tanker.

The home range
The Royal Tiger PSU1 was originally planned over eight variants PSU1/1 to PSU1/8 with a wheelbase of  to suit the then UK maximum length of ,  width was allowed from 1948 but only on officially-approved routes until 1950. Unlike the AEC Regal IV, no Royal Tigers were built to the initially-planned length, because 30 ft length was made legal in the UK during 1950. The  long Royal Tiger PSU1 as produced covered another nine variants with the same wheelbase but longer rear overhang. In tabular summary, these were as follows:

Unlike the home market Olympic, launch orders were impressive, Ribble Motor Services indented for 120, Ulster Transport Authority requiring 111, Red & White Services 52, Wallace Arnold 22 and Associated Motorways (Black & White) 15. Wallace Arnold and Black & White exclusively required coaches, the rest required a mixture of bus and coach bodies, Ribble Motor Services, whose headquarters were in Preston, chose Leyland bodies also. As well as the option of a drop-frame aft of the rear axle, coaches also had as standard a higher final-drive ratio. Leyland demonstrators at the 1950 Earls Court Commercial Motor Show were a Brush-bodied bus MTC757 and an all-Leyland coach MTD235. The PSU1 was produced until 1954 but the last to be bodied on a new home market chassis went to Wigan Corporation in 1956. This Northern Counties bodied bus is preserved.

A large number of coachbuilders produced bodies for the Royal Tiger, most of them were standard buses or coaches, at the time underfloor engined single-deck buses with up to 45 seats generally had a single front entrance opposite the driver on the front overhang, often secured with a power-operated folding door; industry-standard coaches a central entrance in mid-wheelbase, generally with a manual sliding door, 41 seats was the general coach maximum, that said, there was a much greater variety of body styles and builders than today. Buses were built on Royal Tiger PSU1 by Brush, Crossley, Duple, East Lancashire Coachbuilders, Eastern Coach Works, Heaver, Metro Cammell Weymann, Massey Brothers, Northern Counties, Park Royal, Roe and others, whilst coaches were built by (among others) Alexander, Associated Coach Builders, Beccols, Bellhouse-Hartwell, Duple, Eastern Coach Works, Harrington, Metalcraft (who bodied the first two production coaches with 43 seat centre-entrance bodies for Don Everall of Wolverhampton), Mann, Egerton & Co., Plaxton, Samlesbury Engineering, Trans-United, Willowbrook and Windover. Perhaps the most famous body on the Royal Tiger coach was the Burlingham Seagull, but Dinky Toys chose the Duple Roadmaster body for their contemporary version, a style that was considerably rarer in full size than were 1:76 scale die cast metal models of it on railway layouts and in toy cupboards. Leyland’s own 44-seat bus and 41-seat coach bodies were built on a large number of Royal Tigers until Leyland's in-house coachbuilders were locked-out at the conclusion of an unofficial industrial dispute in 1954 bringing Leyland bus and coach bodies to an end. Although the 8 ft width was the majority choice most operators chose the vacuum-servo braking system, which was at its limits coping with a fully laden vehicle with an eight-ton unladen weight.

The export range
Export Royal Tigers were different. Suffix numbers varied more than home market versions as an option for overseas variants was an AEC fluid coupling and air-actuated preselector gearbox combination as on the rival AEC Regal IV. Air brakes were generally offered, vacuum brakes and narrow track were rare options and an air-servo to the Leyland clutch and synchromesh gearbox was offered as standard on all air-braked layshaft-gearbox variants. Omitting suffixes the OPSU series can be tabulated thus:

O stood for overseas and left-hand drive variants had an L prefix to the type code, Hence for example LOPSU2. Customers for the Royal Tiger were found on every populated continent, sales were however particularly high in Europe, the Middle East, South America and Australasia. All overseas markets took the OPSU series save Ireland. In the UK-administered six counties of Northern Ireland the Ulster Transport Authority constructed its own bus and coach bodies on 176 examples whilst cross-border operators Londonderry & Lough Swilly Railway, The Lough Erne Railway and the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) all took Saunders-Roe bodied PSU1 Royal Tigers, all to the rarer  width: CIÉ, the Irish Republic's government transport undertaking, after evaluating the coach demonstrator, took  wide PSU1 Royal Tigers with their own bodies, bus and coach, these forming the 200-strong U-class. The Irish Army also bought a single example, to transport regimental bands, this was also Saunders-Roe bodied it has a centre entrance is  wide, registered ZU5000 and delivered in 1953; it has recently been found by preservationists and is now stored awaiting restoration. The Lough Swilly operation still had their first Royal Tiger in revenue-earning service in 1979

The largest single Dollar-denominated order ever taken by a British manufacturer by that time was taken in 1950 by Leyland from Autobus Modernos SA of Havana, Cuba, who ordered 620 Saunders Roe B43D bodied LOPSU1/1s to replace Havana's trams. Buenos Aires, Argentina ordered 450 Royal Tigers and 300 Olympics at a Pound Sterling-denominated record for a UK vehicle builder of £4 million, by 1953 Brazilian operators had over 460 Royal Tigers in operation. Other early territories to take large numbers of overseas Royal Tigers were Australia, Egypt, Finland, India, Iran, Israel, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, The Netherlands, and Uruguay. Denmark, Greece, Jamaica, Nigeria, Norway, Venezuela and Yugoslavia among others were later added to the list of territories taking the OPSU.

Succession
In most of the rest of the world Leyland customers liked the Royal Tiger, but some found it insufficiently strong and some regarded it as underpowered. As a result, Leyland produced its most successful bus model, the Royal Tiger Worldmaster. In the UK, conversely, the Royal Tiger had an unladen weight often exceeding eight tons, more than that of double-deckers with up to twenty more seats, and as the gross vehicle weight was twelve tons in 1950, a full complement of luggage and passengers would take the coaches in particular close to the legal laden limit. Thus in 1952 Leyland launched a bus to the concept of the Royal Tiger but with a lighter-weight frame and units standardised with the Comet 90 medium-weight lorry. This was the Leyland Tiger Cub.

Rebodies and other alterations
The durability of the heavy PSU chassis was often well in excess of the bodies it carried, several operators had their Royal Tigers fitted with new bodies, Harper Brothers of Heath Hayes, built their own bus bodies on some of theirs in the late 1950s, using Metal Sections frames. The only other operator-bodied Royal Tiger was McLennan of Spittalfield, Perthshire's EES468 a 1952 front-entrance 43 seat coach. Many other independent operators chose newer Plaxton bodies for their Royal Tigers from the early to late 1960s.

The most notable example though was the commercial lengthening and rebodying operation ran by Audlem, Cheshire based dealer Les Gleave Ltd. Between 1961 and 1964 they converted at least 20 Royal Tiger chassis to the full-length allowed by a recent change in the law, for a cost of £200 for the conversion work; these all received new registrations and a stretch in the wheelbase to 18 ft 6in, Gleave then sent the coach chassis to Scarborough for new 36 ft Plaxton Panorama bodies (one for Harrison of Morecambe, was shown at the 1962 Blackpool Coach Rally with the apt dealer re-registration 2048LG)(Audlem was covered by the Cheshire county vehicle licensing office whose index marks included LG).

Candidate chassis were initially only the air-braked PSU1/16 variant but some PSU1/15 were also lengthened and at the same time converted to air brakes, all the converted vehicles were coded PSU1/16/LG. Blue Bird coaches of Weymouth, Dorset lengthened their own HMR444 and also extended the original Plaxton body by nearly 3 ft. later Munden of Bristol re-bodied the extended chassis and re-registered it EHY111K This bus is still extant with third registration PJY2

As well as total rebodying, some operators in the late 1950s and early 1960s took mid-life central-entrance Royal Tiger coaches and modified them to dual-purpose (i.e. buses adapted for longer-distance service routes which could also serve as private hire coaches) by converting them to front from centre entrance. Single deckers by that time could legally be worked driver-only, which by halving staff costs saved some rural routes from abandonment. Harper Brothers of Heath Hayes mentioned above fitted very utilitarian fronts to some Burlingham Seagull bodied Royal Tigers for the purpose whilst Walter Alexander & Sons converted some of its Royal Tiger coach fleet in-house (those with Alexander bodies)  and had two of its Leyland-bodied examples refitted with the contemporary (late 1950s) Walter Alexander Coachbuilders front end assemblies which produced incongruous-looking but doubtless useful service coaches.

In service
The Royal Tiger on the home market was among the most powerful and quiet Public Service Vehicles yet encountered and very smooth-riding but vacuum brakes were not as efficient or as responsive as drivers desired from the outset: Wallace Arnold for one converted its vacuum braked Royal Tigers after a season or less in service, Southdown Motor Services did the same with their first batch of touring coaches, subsequently standardising on air brakes for all new buses and coaches regardless of builder. The home market Royal Tiger also lacked the air-servo assistance to the clutch or gearchange that the OPSU had and as a result clutch pressures were heavy and gear-lever throws were rather long, un-assisted steering was hard to move at low road-speeds, interviews with drivers of the Royal Tiger show they regarded the type as hard work to drive, but rewarding. Some operators swore by the Royal Tiger, but others swore at it. Barton Transport who had solely taken Leyland for all its full size bus and coach needs since the end of World War II bought five Leyland Royal Tigers with Burlingham bodies for its ‘Coach Cruise’ fleet in 1951 but the poor fuel consumption saw them sold three years later by which time Leyland's major rival AEC were getting their first orders from Barton since one Regal coach in the mid-1930s. However (see rebodies above) some operators found the near indestructible build of the Royal Tiger an asset and OK Motor Services of Bishop Auckland had a Plaxton rebodied Royal Tiger on regular service well into the 1980s.

Preservation
A number of Royal Tigers are preserved, both bus and coach, in the southern hemisphere as well as the UK, at least one Les Gleave ‘stretched’ example among them, but the oddest preserved Royal Tiger might be JVB908, new to Homeland Tours of Croydon which carries a Mann Egerton body to Crellin-Duplex patent ‘Half-deck’ pattern; this carries 50 coach seats in facing pairs interlaced above and below a central gangway, it has recently been restored for its private owner by the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum. The Museum of Transport & Technology in Auckland, New Zealand has 1953 Leyland Royal Tiger PSU No.464 fitted with a Saunders Roe kitset body, one of 150 to be operated by the Auckland Transport Board, then Auckland Regional Authority until 1983. Presented in the ATB lettuce green and transport cream livery.

Scale models
The only contemporary model was the Dinky Toys Duple Roadmaster. Rob's Classic Models produced Australian Government versions of the Leyland Royal Tiger Worldmaster in 1/76 scale in 2017, along with models of AEC Regal IV equivalents. Corgi Toys have since produced the Burlingham Seagull to 1/50 and 1/76 scales. Oxford Diecast now also offer a 1/76 scale model of the all-Leyland Royal Tiger coach and have recently announced a 1/76 Duple Roadmaster.

title: Sleeping with Other People

text:
Sleeping with Other People is a 2015 American romantic comedy film directed and written by Leslye Headland. The film stars Jason Sudeikis, Alison Brie, Natasha Lyonne, Amanda Peet, and Adam Scott. Premiering at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2015, the film was released theatrically on September 11, 2015, by IFC Films. Sleeping with Other People received generally positive reviews from critics.

Plot
In 2002, Lainey causes a scene in a dorm at Columbia University. Taking pity on her as she is about to be kicked out by security, Jake claims her as his guest. He learns that Lainey was there in order to lose her virginity to her T.A., Matthew, who Jake thinks is the most boring guy in the world. Lainey eventually realizes that Jake is also a virgin, and the two lose their virginity to each other.

Years later, Lainey breaks up with her long-term boyfriend Sam after telling him she has been cheating on him. On the advice of her therapist she attends a sex addicts meeting, where she runs into Jake, who is there because of his inability to commit. Lainey schedules an appointment with Matthew to end their affair; he agrees and tells her that he is engaged, but they end up having sex.

On the advice of a friend Lainey contacts Jake, and they go on one date where they confess their sexual problems to one another. At the end of the date Jake confesses that he wants to sleep with her; however, Lainey insists that they should just be friends and Jake agrees with the safe word "mousetrap" to be used to deflate sexual tension between them.

They hang out more and eventually become best friends, confiding in each other about their dating lives as they try to move past their commitment issues. Strangers mistake them for a couple and their friends begin to think they are in a relationship as well. Jake learns that Lainey is going to re-enroll in medical school and possibly move to Michigan. He brings her to the birthday party of his friend's child where she meets Chris and begins seeing him to Jake's chagrin. Jake decides to move on and asks his boss Paula on a date.

A date with Chris leads Lainey to run into Matthew and his now-pregnant wife. At the same time, Jake has sex with Paula and calls her Lainey. After their nights out, Jake and Lainey spend the night together where they realize that they are in love with each another; however, they do nothing about it, afraid to mess up their relationship.

Lainey moves to Michigan and Jake devotes himself to Paula. Two months after she has left, during brunch with Paula, Jake sees Matthew and punches him in the face. Paula breaks up with Jake after he refers to Lainey as "my girl" and Jake is arrested. He calls Lainey from the police station and confesses he is still in love with her, and wants to pursue a relationship even if it fails. She tells him she feels the same way.

Production
After the debut of her last film, Bachelorette, Headland became what she would later define as "suicidally depressed" noting that at one point "I was literally wondering, Should I check myself into a psych ward?" To help cope with this she went to Big Sur where she "wrote all day and all night". She realized she wanted to write a movie about sex addiction after entering into a relationship with someone who was already seeing another person, recalling that at one point she drove to his house "I just started crying hysterically. I pulled over and just kept crying. It was sort of like, What is my problem right now? Is it that I'm in love with him? Is it that I feel guilty? Is it that I'm doing something I don't want to do?" From the start she did not set out to make a romantic comedy although when she realized she was making one she wanted to make sure "that it all felt very believable".

For research purposes she attended sexual addiction meetings as well as read many books about the subject, including Your Brain on Sex and the relationship addiction book Leaving the Enchanted Forrest.

title: Chronicle of Ioannina

text:
The Chronicle of Ioannina is a prose chronicle written in Greek about the history of Ioannina during the rule of Thomas Preljubović, the Serb Despot of Epirus, who was based in Ioannina in the second half of the 14th century.

The Chronicle was first attributed to the monks Proklos and Komnenos, and was therefore initially known as the Chronicle of Proklos and Komnenos. The Chronicle is deeply prejudiced and hostile against Preljubović. It portrays Thomas Preljubović as a ruthless and despotic tyrant, while his wife Maria Angelina Doukaina Palaiologina is described with more flattering words.

The Chronicle of Ioannina is an invaluable source of information on the history of the Epirus region during the late Middle Ages. Among other information, it mentions a naval landing in Lake Pamvotis on February 26, 1379, by Albanian, Bulgarian and Vlach raiders.

title: Amblyteles armatorius

text:
Amblyteles armatorius is a species of parasitic wasp in the family Ichneumonidae first described by Johann Reinhold Forster in 1771.

Description
Amblyteles armatorius can reach a length of 12–16 mm, excluding antennae, which reach about . The head and thorax of this large wasp are black, except the yellow scutellum. The abdomen is yellow and more oval in the females, with broad black bands. Legs are yellow, except the hind legs, that are black and yellow. This species lacks a sting, so the characteristic markings of many aculeate wasps represent a protective mimicry.
 The female has a very short ovipositor that doesn't protrude from the abdomen.

Adults can be usually found in summer on flowers, especially Apiaceae species, feeding on nectar and pollen. The adults overwinter. The females of this parasitic wasp lay their eggs into the caterpillars of moths. When they hatch larvae feed on their hosts, mainly Noctuidae and Notodontidae, but also some Geometridae, Erebidae, Saturniidae and Lasiocampidae (Calliteara pudibunda, Odontopera bidentata, Macrothylacia rubi and Saturnia pavonia).

Distribution and habitat
This species is a Palearctic species that is present in most of Europe, in the Near East, and in the Oriental realm. These wasps usually occur in hedgerows, meadows and spruce forest edges.

title: Ottoman census records on Metsovo

text:
The Ottoman census records (defterleri) of 1454/5 and 1506 of the Sanjak of Trikala are the only sources depicting the residential and economic structure of the region of Metsovo during the early Ottoman period.

Timar of Metsovo
In the 1454/55 census, the tax district of the timar of Metsovo (karye-i Miçova), fell under the hâss of Turahanoglu Ömer Bey, lord of the sanjak of Trikala, and comprised the settlements Nihori, Kato Kitona, Epano Kitona, Tiravatişte, Vitinos and Mila. In the 1506 census, the timar of Metsovo had been taken over by Bali Bey and comprised the settlements Brostile, Nihori or Pethori, Kato Peltonya, Epano Peltonya, Tiravatişte, Vitonoş and Milya or Milina.

Population
The 1454/55 census shows 700 fully taxable households (hâne), 41 widows (bîve) and 52 single men (mücerred). In 1506, there are 442 fully taxable households (hâne), 43 or 46 single men and 35 widows. These figures show that the area is a strong demographic zone, which was much more densely populated than the largest settlements of the sanjak of Trikala.

Resident occupations
The types of revenues recorded at the time indicate that the residents of Metsovo were occupied with various aspects of farming  at the time. In addition to livestock breeding, they also cultivated grains, nuts, and grapes, kept bees and bred silkworm.

title: Metsovitikos (river)

text:
The Μetsovitikos () river is one of the primary tributaries of the Arachthos in Epirus, Greece. The mountainous basin through which it flows is distinguished into two sub-systems. The first one is the zone of the river springs.

Borders
A longitudinal, narrow gorge is formed within a closed circle of mountains. The gorge is defined in the west and north by the peaks of the vast plateau of Politsia, in the east by the peaks of Katara and Zygos and in the south by the mountain Peristeri (or Lakmos).

Water streams
Several streams from the surrounding mountain slopes flow into the basin formed by these mountains. Among them the largest ones are the river of Zygos, the river of Rona and the river of Lessintza (Leʃindzə)[1] or Lentza.

Confluence of rivers
In the location Tria Chania the flow of the Metsovitikos river turns south and enters a second, much wider valley which it crosses along the slope of mountain Peristeri (or Lakmos) down to the area of Baltouma. At this point it merges with the aquatic arm formed by the confluence of rivers Vardas and Zagoritikos which spring in the Eastern and Central Zagori respectively, constituting the second primary bed of the river Arachthos.

Dipotamos
This dual spring of the Arachthos river, known since Antiquity, gave Arachthos its popular name, Dipotamos (Διπόταμος, "two-rivers"). The valley of the Metsovitikos river was the main passage between Epirus, on one hand, and Macedonia and Thessaly, on the other. Today, the Egnatia Odos Motorway runs through its full length. The settlements located within that area constitute the Municipality of Metsovo.

title: Valley of Millia

text:
The peaks that surround the settlement of Milia, located 19 kilometers northeast of Metsovo in northern Greece, form an open valley which gradually ends in a narrow passage.

This important passageway between Epirus and Macedonia was also known as "Mpougazi tis Milias" and had been used since ancient times. The creeks that spring from the slopes of the mountains surrounding the valley converge to form one of the western arms of the river Venetiko, one on the main tributaries of Aliakmonas river.

The settlement of Milia is located at an altitude of 1,260 meters at the point where the three first springs of the river meet. There are indications that the settlement had been there as early as the beginning of the 14th century while its existence is certified from the mid-15th century. The historic relation of the settlement of Millia with Chora Metsovou is closely associated with the safeguarding of this important passage that crossed the valley and the Mpougazi tis Milias.

The task of serving the travelers passing through the narrow passage involved everyone in the settlement, which reflects the immediate association of the management of the inns located in the valley and the obligations undertaken by the local residents as guards of the passage in exchange for certain privileges.

title: Fann Street Foundry

text:
The Fann Street Foundry was a type foundry (a company that designs or distributes typefaces) that was located on Fann Street, City of London.

Establishment
In 1794, Robert Thorne (1754-1820) acquired the type foundry of the late Thomas Cottrell based in Nevil's Court, and moved it to 11 Barbican, and then in 1802 to a former brewery in Fann Street, and renamed it the Fann Street Foundry. On his death in 1820, the business was bought by William Thorowgood with the help of money he had won in a lottery. Thorowgood was the first to use the term "Grotesque" to describe a Sans-Serif typeface and the first to design one in lower case with his Seven Line Grotesque.

Nineteenth-century heyday
In 1838, the typographer Robert Besley was taken into partnership by William Thorowgood at the Fann Street Foundry. He created Clarendon in 1845, the first typeface to be registered under the Ornamental Designs Act of 1842, and retired from the business in 1861, becoming Lord Mayor of London in 1869.

In 1842, Charles Reed co-founded the firm of Tyler & Reed, printers and typefounders. He became a partner in the Fann Street Foundry in 1861 (which thereafter became known as Reed & Fox). The Fann Street business formed the basis for his own typefounding business, Sir Charles Reed & Sons, which had an office at 33 Aldersgate Street.

In 1881, following his father's death, the author and typefounder, Talbot Baines Reed became head of the Fann Street Foundry. By then he had begun his monumental History of the Old English Letter Foundries, published in 1887, which was hailed as the standard work on the subject. Talbot Baines Reed died in 1893, aged only 41.

Gallery

Closure
Fann Street Foundry closed in 1906, after which its designs passed to the Sheffield-based Stephenson Blake. Founded in 1818, Stephenson Blake was the last active type foundry in the UK at the time of its closure in 2005.

title: Presidential Task Force on Power

text:
The Presidential Task Force on Power (PTFP) was established by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's administration, in June 2010, to drive the implementation of the reform of Nigeria's power sector. It brings together all the agencies that have a role to play in removing legal and regulatory obstacles to private sector investment in the power industry. It also has the mandate to monitor the planning and execution of various short-term projects in generation, transmission, distribution and fuel-to-power that are critical to meeting the stated service delivery targets of the power reform roadmap.

The PTFP collaborates closely with various ministries and agencies that have specific contributions to the reform process, including the Federal Ministry of Power, the Federal Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the Bureau of Public Procurement, National Gas Company Limited (NGC) and the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) to mention a few.

President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, reconstituted the PTFP Board, with Engr. Reynolds Bekinbo Dagogo-Jack as Chairman, on September 5, 2012.

The Presidential Task Force Board of Directors is charged with setting and maintaining the direction of the Task Force. They are responsible for implementing PTFP's mandate while providing overall leadership and its strategic direction. All Board Members have been instrumental in setting policy for the Task Force as well as ensuring it has all the necessary resources and capabilities to achieve its objective.

title: Derveni (Metsovo)

text:
In various Turkish firmans, the area of Metsovo is referred to as derbent (, "passage") and its residents as derbendcis, meaning guards of the passage. Such passages ( dervenia) constituted key aspects of the land and road organization system of the Ottoman state. Often, the responsibility for their security and maintenance was undertaken by the residents of a town or area, who in exchange enjoyed reduced taxation.

The passages
The passages of Metsovo were of vital importance for the cohesion of the Ottoman state in this part of the Balkans, as well as for transportation/communication and trade purposes. Especially in the wintertime, the extreme weather conditions at the higher altitudes made it almost impossible to go through, stopping both ordinary travelers and entire military units alike and putting their lives at risk.

The Sultan’s decree
A relevant Sultan firman of the time reads: “Because the people of Metsovo reside in Chora, through which many travelers pass at all times of the year, and in the wintertime they help travelers go through the passages under heavy snow, risking to die from the freezing cold, by wrapping cloths around the legs of the horses and carrying the people on their shoulders, while in the summertime they protect and safeguard the travelers against bandits; for these reasons special privileges and rights are established and ordered for them …”

The services
The services provided by the people of Metsovo as derbentzis include not only the guarding of the passages but also the provision of services to travelers. Besides maintaining an armed band of guards paid by community funds, a network of inns is established along the passages that cross the area. The management and smooth operation of the inns was one of the major issues occupying local authorities.

title: Zygos mountain range

text:
In many written accounts, from medieval times until now, a large section of the mountain range that crosses the east region of the Metsovo area is referred to as Zygos. This name derives from the name Zygos or ʤugu in the local Vlach dialect, which the people of Metsovo used to refer to a certain saddle (notch) of the same mountain ridge that served as a mountain pass. For centuries it was the highest point of the main travel route between Epirus and Thessaly. The timeless importance of this section of the ridge to land transportation in the past, the difficulties faced by travelers in the wintertime as well its pristine beauty made it the object of multiple and extensive references from antiquity until recent years. The wanderer Leake considers Zygos as the most noteworthy mountain in Greece and the location of the springs of its largest rivers. The painter Edward Lear says that Zygos is the "parent" of the greatest rivers in Greece, it regulates travel between Epirus and Thessaly and it is equally famous for its interconnections, its geographical and political position, and its picturesque scenery.

The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "The film is not logically perfect, but it sure brings out the slapstick comedian in Fahad, hitherto untapped...the director shows good promise and the film is worth a watch, solely for the humour".

The New Indian Express wrote, "Despite...minor hiccups, it is a comedy film, entertaining and engaging throughout".

title: Chora Metsovo

text:
As of the mid-17th century when the Ottomans applied a special tax-administrative regime in the area, the Metsovo region comprises a federation of five mountainous settlements in northern Greece. In various administrative documents surviving from the 18th century onwards, this federation is referred to as Chora Metzovou or Chora Metsovou with its mahalades (meaning including its neighboring settlements).

The word Chora defines the settlement of Metsovo that was the largest one in the area, while the word mahalades means the surrounding settlements of Malakasi, Koutsoufleani (now Platanistos), Milia and Anilio. The borders of the Chora Metzovou initially also included the municipal lands of the settlement Derventista (now Anthohori) which was later on excluded. According to historical signs the establishment of the Chora Metzovou was based on a pre-existing geographical and administrative regime which goes back to at least the early Ottoman period.

Although Metsovo had the economic, land and demographic dominance in the area, decisions were made by the joint assembly of Chora and the Mahalades, which had their own community land and, initially at least, their own municipal authorities. As of the mid-18th century, however, the governance of Chora takes on a more oligarchic form, where the powers were concentrated in the hands of the aristocrats of Metsovo and the political role of the mahalades was limited.

The geographical area that comprised the Chora Metsovou was for many centuries a unified geographical, administrative and religious region, regardless of the changes in its taxation and political regime, especially during the 19th century. The fact that it belonged to a common church authority was a major unifying factor for its residents.
