text:
Mikko Lehtonen (born 16 January 1994) is a Finnish professional ice hockey defenceman for the ZSC Lions of the National League (NL). He has previously played with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career
Lehtonen made his SM-liiga debut playing with TPS during the 2011–12 season. For the season 2015–2016, Lehtonen moved to the team KooKoo for a two-year contract. He made his breakthrough in the league and made all 60 regular rounds. Lehtonen ranked Juha Leimu of Pelicans in the second round of the SM Liiga defender's goal. In the 2016–17 season, he was KooKoo's second-best point-keeper and the most powerful defender until the threshold of the Liiga move. In February 2017, Lehtonen spent the rest of the season for the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) in HV71, and he won the Swedish Championship at the end of the season.

Lehtonen moved to Tappara for the 2017–18 season agreeing to an initial two-year contract. In 2018, Lehtonen left Tappara by mutual consent and re-joined HV71 of the SHL.

On 9 April 2019, Lehtonen as a free agent, left HV71, returning to Finland in signing a two-year contract with KHL participant, Jokerit.

Lehtonen appeared in 60 games with Jokerit during the 2019–20 season and registered 49 points (17 goals, 32 assists), which led all KHL defencemen. He represented Jokerit at the 2020 KHL All-Star Game and was named KHL Defenceman of the Month for three consecutive months from November to January. He had a goal and three assists in six KHL playoff games before the season's cancellation.

As a free agent, Lehtonen gained NHL interest, and on 4 May 2020, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed Lehtonen to a one-year entry-level contract for the 2020–21 season. With the North American season delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on 1 August 2020, Lehtonen was returned to Jokerit on loan until the resumption of NHL training camp in November. Lehtonen was released from his contract with Jokerit on 20 November 2020, having collected 17 points through 17 games.

On 12 March 2021, Lehtonen was traded by the Maple Leafs to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Veini Vehviläinen.

After the  season, Lehtonen signed a one-year contract to return to Columbus. However, on 12 October 2021, it was announced that he was suspended by the team and placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of a buyout after failing to report to the Cleveland Monsters, the Blue Jackets AHL affiliate. As a free agent from the Blue Jackets, on 17 October 2021, Lehtonen returned to the KHL in agreeing to a four-year contract with Russian based outfit, SKA Saint Petersburg.

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Lehtonen decided to participate in the 2021–22 KHL postseason, despite the exit of most Finnish players and two of the KHL's non-Russia-based teams.

International play

Internationally, Lehtonen has represented Finland at multiple events, including the World Championships in 2017 and 2019, winning gold at the 2019 tournament and earning recognition on the World Championship All-Star Team. He also skated for Finland at the Olympic Games in 2018 and 2022, getting gold and recognition on the Olympic All-Star Team at the 2022 games.

title: Five Against Venus

text:
Five Against Venus, written by Philip Latham, is a science-fiction novel first published in the United States in 1952 by the John C. Winston Company.  Philip Latham was the nom de plume of Robert S. Richardson, a professional astronomer who also provided technical assistance on movies such as  Destination Moon and wrote scripts for the Captain Video television series.

This is one of the thirty-five juvenile novels that comprise the Winston Science Fiction set, which novels were published in the 1950s for a readership of teenage boys.  The typical protagonist in these books was a boy in his late teens who was proficient in the art of electronics, a hobby that was easily available to the readers.  In this novel, Bruce Robinson differs from that pattern in having no special skill, only a knowledge of astronomy.

Under the article on Venus in the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, the writer says that "Philip Latham's Five Against Venus (1952) is a Venusian Robinsonade."  Indeed, in overall form the story is Swiss Family Robinson in space, though the precipitating crisis owes more to the 1950 movie Rocketship X-M.

Characters

 Paul Robinson: headed for a new job on the moon, he never dreamed that he would be the leader of an impromptu expedition to another planet.
 Helen Robinson: an ordinary American housewife who must regain the pioneer spirit to set up housekeeping in an alien environment.
 Bruce Robinson: sixteen years old, he yearns to travel in space, but then finds that it is not what he expected.
 Frank Robinson: six years old, he only wants to play with the strange machine retrieved from the wreckage of the spaceship.
 Jim Gregor: pilot/navigator of the deep-space ship Aurora, he performs the ultimate act of courage to save the lives of his ship's passengers.
 Dr. Bram Simmons: an eccentric scientist, he went to Venus by himself five years ago and was not heard from again – until now.

Plot summary

After another boring day at Los Angeles High School, Bruce Robinson is delighted to hear that his long-unemployed father, Paul Robinson, has found a job – on the moon.  A short time later the Robinson family boards the rocketship that will take them to meet the deep-space ship Sirius, which will take them to the moon.  But as they approach the disc-shaped deep-space ship they see that, instead of Sirius, they will be riding the Aurora to the moon.

Once the Robinsons have boarded the Aurora and settled in, Bruce meets Jim Gregor, who shows him the ship's controls.  Bruce and Gregor then join the engineer and the captain (neither man is named in the story) in the cargo hold to move some boxes.  When one of the boxes breaks open and reveals a strange-looking machine, the captain warns Bruce never to tell anyone what he saw.

With the ship under way, Bruce develops a hunch that something has gone wrong.  He sees that an emergency light has come on and informs Gregor.  The pilot discovers that the ship's engines have been over-running and that the ship is on a course that will pass close to Venus (in the 1950 movie Rocketship X-M the over-running of the engines takes the lunar-bound ship to Mars).  With insufficient propellant to return to Earth, Gregor attempts to make an emergency landing on a mountainside and dies in the crash.  Prior to the crash, the captain and the engineer bail out in a rocket-propelled lifeboat.

Little more than shaken up in the crash, Bruce and his father recover supplies from the wrecked spaceship.  The supplies include, to their astonishment, a pair of carbines and boxes of ammunition.  Finding a cave next to a waterfall near the wreck, they move in and set up camp.

On several occasions Bruce hears a soft rustling and on others he hears a ringing in his ears and feels heat on his face.  The other members of the family have similar experiences and they dismiss them as part of getting acclimatized to an alien environment.

With their supply of canned food running low, Paul and Bruce go hunting, assuming that Venusian animal life would be edible.  They follow the stream coming out of their waterfall and soon find what appears to be an artificial enclosure woven from vines using trees as supports.  Inside the improvised corral they encounter a creature similar to Diplodocus, but with a tame demeanor.  They drive the docile creature toward their cave, intending to butcher it when they arrive, but change their decision and keep it as a pet after it saves Frank from a carnivorous plant.

Having brought samples of the tubers and the pear-like fruit that the beast had eaten, Paul and Bruce find them edible and the family begins eating them when their canned food runs out.  Meanwhile, Paul is getting sick from the infection of a cut he suffered when he hit his arm against a rock.  Later, after he has a good amount of sleep, Paul's arm heals, seemingly in spite of having been covered by the fast-growing green mold that grows on any and all organic substances.

While foraging for more tubers, Bruce hears a ringing in his ears, feels his face grow hot, and then loses consciousness.  He is awakened by a strange man who introduces himself as Bram Simmons, a scientist who came to Venus alone five years earlier.  Nearby stand several man-sized bat-like creatures whose ultrasonic emissions had knocked Bruce out.  Simmons shoos the bat-men away and tells Bruce what kind of trouble he and his family are in.  The bat-men are vampires, usually drawing blood from the dinosaur-like beasts kept in corrals around the area, and that there is a large colony of bat-men nearby.

After Bruce returns to the cave, as night is falling, the Robinsons come under attack.  At first Paul and Bruce repel the attackers with their carbines, but then they run out of ammunition.  As all seems lost, star shells and grenades explode in the valley below the cave, and the bat-men, thrown into confusion and distress, flee the scene: the space marines have landed.

Having assumed that no one survived the crash of the Aurora, the spacemen have come to retrieve the gadget that Aurora'''s captain had warned Bruce not to mention.  It is a top-secret military machine — and Frank has been playing with it!  With the machine in hand, the spacemen take the Robinsons back to Earth with them: Simmons chooses to stay on Venus, living with the bat-men.

At home the Robinsons have been hounded by reporters, but now their fame is waning.  One man, though, seeks them out to offer them something.  He represents a pharmaceutical company to which Bruce took samples of Venusian life, and he tells the Robinsons that the green mold that was such a nuisance produces an antibiotic more powerful than penicillin.  He then tells the Robinsons that his company is offering them enough money to solve their financial problems for years to come.

 Backstage on Venus

"Backstage on Venus" is the title of Chapter 21, which serves as an appendix.  As a professional astronomer the author knew everything that had been discovered or postulated about Venus up to 1952 and he described how he used that knowledge to set his stage.

Reviews

In the Kirkus Reviews, the reviewer wrote that the story takes the reader on a journey, "From Earth to Venus and back to Earth again goes Bruce Robinson after his father has been made public relations man of Tycho City on the moon. One result of the journey is the discovery of a bacteria killing mould. Other features are the discovery of an enigmatic scientist marooned on Venus some years before – the dangers of the Venusian batmen and their burning ultra-sonic waves – infra-red plants as the main source of oxygen. There are important human elements here too – the maturing of Bruce; the question of emotions in the batmen and the mysterious scientist's relationship with them. This is written in a flip, tangy manner that seems to complement the fantasies which are described, and the scientific basis for the writer's imagination is discussed in an enlightening last chapter."

title: Old Town Pizza

text:
Old Town Pizza is a pizzeria established in 1974 and located in the historic Merchant Hotel building in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood of central Portland, Oregon in the United States. The company has a satellite location at Vanport Square in Northeast Portland that includes a brewery branded as Old Town Brewing Co. Two days before its March 2012 opening, a fire forced the restaurant to undergo reconstruction for six weeks.

Description and history
Old Town Pizza was established in 1974 in the Merchant Hotel building in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood of northwest Portland, Oregon. The restaurant's menu includes pizzas, paninis, pastas and salads.

Satellite restaurant and Old Town Brewing Co.
Old Town Pizza's satellite restaurant is located at 5201 Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Vanport Square in Northeast Portland. Historically, the location was a hub for the automotive industry. The restaurant serves the same menu as the original location and features a similar "rustic-feeling atmosphere", plus a full bar.

The Northeast Portland restaurant was set to launch its seven-barrel brewery, branded as Old Town Brewing Co., in mid-March 2012. However, two days before the opening, a fire believed to have been started by prolonged contact between a light bulb and lampshade resulted in more than $50,000 in damage. The restaurant was closed for reconstruction for more than six weeks, during which repairs costing over $300,000 were completed. Following an April 27 reopening, the restaurant began serving eight beers, including an American wheat, an India Pale Ale, an Irish red, a pale ale, a porter, S.T.E.A.M., a stout and a winter ale. S.T.E.A.M. was developed in collaboration with Rock Bottom Brewery during Old Town's six-week closure and was served by both companies.

Reception
Old Town Pizza has been featured on Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels, a series hosted by celebrity chef and television personality Rachael Ray, The Tonight Show and the Travel Channel. Portland Monthly recommended the original restaurant as a good place to start or end an evening. The magazine published about the restaurant: "There's something so McCabe & Mrs. Miller about eating in a warm, wooden room. And indeed, much of the allure of Old Town Pizza is the architecture." The Old Town Chinatown Community Association included the Northwest Portland restaurant in a self-guided tour of the neighborhood.

title: Losing Ground (book)

text:
Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950–1980 is a 1984 book about the effectiveness of welfare state policies in the United States between 1950 and 1980 by the political scientist Charles Murray. Both its policy proposals and its methodology have attracted significant controversy.

Background
Murray wrote the book while a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, then under the aegis of Irving Kristol. The Manhattan Institute funded his work on the book and also promoted it. Approximately $25,000 of the Manhattan Institute grant money for the book was provided by the John M. Olin Foundation. Joan Kennedy Taylor of the Manhattan Institute is credited with having brought the book into publication.

Summary

Murray's main thesis is that social welfare programs, as they have historically been implemented in the United States, tend to increase poverty rather than decrease it because they create incentives rewarding short-sighted behavior not conducive to escaping poverty in the long term.

Reception
Christopher Jencks wrote a detailed review in the May 9, 1985 issue of The New York Review of Books in which he describes the book as a work of "Social Darwinism" which owes its popularity not to its scientific rigor but rather to its utility in providing a veneer of "moral legitimacy for budget cuts that many politicians want to make in order to reduce the federal deficit." Murray responded to Jencks' critique, to which Jencks responded in turn.

The Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison published a special report with the views of poverty researchers affiliated with the Institute on Murray's claims. A 12-page summary was also published in their Focus magazine, in which the researchers "reject [Losing Ground's] broad condemnations of the Great Society", but they agreed that a new approach was needed for the 1980s to meet the goal of reducing poverty and crime.

In 1985, a few months after the book's release, an op-ed in The New York Times called it a budget-cutter's bible, also saying the book's "proposition may be as deeply flawed as it is startling, unlikely to survive scrutiny."

In a December 1993 interview with NBC News, then U.S. President Bill Clinton wrote of Murray and Losing Ground: "He did the country a great service. I mean, he and I have often disagreed, but I think his analysis is essentially right. ... There's no question that it would work. But the question is ... Is it morally right?"

In 2006, conservative pundit Michael Barone wrote that the book "undermined the case that welfare was a moral obligation" and that it inspired the welfare reform measures of the 1990s.

In his 2009 book Prisons of Poverty, sociologist Loïc Wacquant criticized the book for misinterpreting data in a way that purported to demonstrate that rising poverty levels after the 1960s were caused by the emergence of the social welfare state when according to Wacquant the data showed no such thing.

The organisation was founded in March 1990, during a women's conference at Talekocha in Giridih, which was held to organise women to wrestle against the exploitation, oppression and atrocities faced by them. An executive committee of the organisation was also elected at the conference. It had seven members, including its president, secretary and a treasurer. Presently, the Nari Mukti Sangh (NMS) draws considerable membership from the states of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Delhi.

This feminist organisation in India is not to be confused with Nari Mukti Sangh (Tangail, Bangladesh).Ideology
The organisation is influenced from "(scientific) Marxism, Leninism and Maoism", and "believes that national problems can be solved through people's struggle and on the basis of independence, democracy, equality, women's liberation and socialism." The NMS describes India as a "semi-feudal" country, and avers that "without a radical transformation of the state, women liberation is not possible."

Aims and activities
The organisation strives to generate "space to women’s voice" and motivates them to partake in "economic, political and social activity and decision making processes." The NMS's volunteers goes from village to village in Bihar and Jharkhand, and with the collaboration of local women, tries to mete out punishment to "perpetrators of sexual violence through people’s courts", and endeavours to cordially straighten out the quarrels amongst family members." It also organises "kranti ka paathshaala" (school of revolution)'' to educate women, and so far has enabled thousands of women to read and write.
Shoma Sen writes,

The NMS has become a cynosure in Jharkhand for their campaign in Pirtand forests of Giridih district to save the trees. They educate villagers about the significance of trees for humans and wildlife, and make them conscious about the possibilities of future natural disasters if the trees would be continuously cut down ignorantly. They have also alarmed to penalise the offenders with a fine of  1,000 or face physical punishment.

The NMS is believed to be a "front organisation" of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) by the Ministry of Home Affairs, and is also viewed as an arm of the Maoist Coordination Center.

title: SS Melville E. Stone

text:
The SS Melville E. Stone was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II.  She was named after Melville Elijah Stone (August 22, 1848 – February 15, 1929), a newspaper publisher, founder of the Chicago Daily News, and one time general manager of the reorganized Associated Press.

History
The ship's keel was laid in Permanente Metals Richmond, CA, Yard 2 on July 2, 1943 as hull number 1715, type EC2-S-C1. She was launched on July 24, 1943 and delivered on August 4, 1943. The Melville E. Stone was 22 days on the Ways, 12 days in the Water and 34 days to Delivery. After delivery to the War Shipping Administration, she was operated by Norton Lilly & Company, NY.

At 06:14 hours on November 24, 1943, the unescorted Melville E. Stone (Master Lawrence J. Gallagher) was hit by two torpedoes from German submarine U-516 about 100 miles northwest of Cristobal, Canal Zone, at . The ship had been at sea less than seven hours when the torpedoes were spotted by a lookout. The first torpedo struck on the port side in the settling tank and the second hit ten seconds later near #4 hold. The explosions opened large holes in the side and extensively damaged the main and auxiliary engines. As the ship settled rapidly on an even keel, the 42-man complement, 23 armed guards and 23 passengers (military personnel) abandoned ship immediately in rough seas. Two of the lifeboats capsized from the suction created by the ship, which sank within eight minutes and several men drowned, including the master. Three boats got away and were later picked up men from rafts and debris. The survivors were later spotted by an aircraft, which dropped flares so that the American submarine chasers USS SC-1023 and USS SC-662 could pick them up. Five officers, seven crewmen, two armed guards and one passenger were lost.

In the Media
On February 20, 1944, The New York Times reported:

"CAPTAIN, RADIO MAN HEROES AS SHIP SINKS"

"Go Down at Posts as Torpedoes Doom the Melville E. Stone"

"WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (AP) – Accounts of heroism abounded in the War Shipping Administration's report tonight on the torpedoing of the Liberty ship Melville E. Stone in the Caribbean Sea with the loss of sixteen lives.

Last aboard was the ship's master, Capt. Lawrence J. Gallagher of Sacramento, Calif., who refused to pause in his direction of abandon-ship efforts long enough to don a life-preserver. A rope thrown to him from the last waiting lifeboat fell short and the captain was never seen after the war freighter went down.

A civilian passenger, John M. Atkinson, saved the life of the commander of the Navy's armed guard on the vessel, Lieutenant (J.G.) Ernest Edward Tucker of Oak Park, Ill. Lieutenant Tucker said Mr. Atkinson, at great personal peril, held him above the surface until he could be pulled into a lifeboat.

The ship, named for the former general manager of The Associated Press, had a cargo of strategic materials. The radio operator, Peter A. Carrier of Columbia, Mo., stayed at his key to the last. With the aid of a light held by Captain Gallagher, he flashed the SOS before going down with the ship."

title: Cedaria

text:
Cedaria is an extinct genus of trilobites from the late Cambrian.

It is a small, rather flat trilobite with an oval outline, a headshield and tailshield of approximately the same size, 7 articulating segments in the middle part of the body and spines at the back edges of the headshield that reach half the length of the body. Cedaria lived during the early part of the Upper Cambrian (Dresbachian), and is especially abundant in the Weeks Formation.

Description
Cedaria has an ovate outline of  long on average (maximum size 2.5 cm) and ¾ as wide between the tips of the genal spines. The headshield (or cephalon) is parabolic in shape with a well defined wide, and typically darker colored border of about 10% of the glabellar length or equal to a thorax segment.  The well-defined central raised area (or glabella) tapers slightly forward with a rounded front, but lateral furrows are weakly defined. The backward occipital ring is well defined. The distance between the glabella and the border (or preglabellar field) is ±¼ as long as the glabella or 2× the width of the border. The eyes are kidney-shaped, ±¼ as long as the glabella and midlength of the glabella, and close to the glabella (at ⅓ of the width of the glabella). The remaining parts of the cephalon, called fixed and free cheeks (or fixigenae and librigenae) are flat. The fracture lines (or sutures) that in moulting separate the librigenae from the fixigenae are divergent just in front of the eyes, becoming parallel near the border furrow and slightly convergent at margin. From the back of the eyes the sutures bends outward and slightly backward, curving backward at the lateral border furrow and cutting the posterior margin in the inner bend of the spine (or opisthoparian sutures). The articulating middle part of the body (or thorax) has 7 segments, the outer tips bending backwards, pointed and darker. The tailshield (or pygidium) is semicircular, straight or almost indented and has a long, low, tapering axis with 5 or 6 rings, and 4 or 5 pleural furrows. The border in the pygidium is as wide as in the cephalon and is also often  darker, but the border furrow is very shallow or absent.

Taxonomy
Bonneterrina, Carinamala, Cedaria, Cedarina, Paracedaria, Jimachongia and Vernaculina together comprise the family Cedariidae.

Reassigned species
 C. buttsi = ?Crepicephalus
 C. woosteri = ?

Distribution
 C. minor appears in the Upper Cambrian of the United States (between 200 m above the base of the Weeks Formation 15 m into the Big Horse Limestone Member, Orr Formation, House Range, Millard County, Utah), Canada (Rabbitkettle Formation, Mackenzie Mountains), and Greenland.
 Cedaria is also reported in the Warrior Formation in Pennsylvania.

title: Tuar (automobile)

text:
The Tuar was a short-lived French automobile.

Adrien Morin

Adrien Morin was born at Brion-près-Thouet on 8 May 1880. the son of a successful local lawyer.   Initially Morin followed his father into the law, but he was seduced into a career switch by the lure of the new and rapidly expanding automobile industry then growing up around the Paris hub.   He gained experience in the automobile sector, working successively for Vinot & Deguingand, Decauville and Cornilleau & Sainte-Beuve.   In 1913 he returned to western France and established the Garage Moderne, an automobile repair business, at Thouars, some 7 kilometers (4 miles) from the village where he had been born.   He also started producing light cars, using bought-in components, and powered by Chapuis-Dornier engines.   The cars carried the Tuar name, this being a phonetic spelling of the name of the small town where they were assembled.   The first of them was a "Torpedo" bodied car with an 8HP 1,726cc engine:  it was registered on 15 January 1914 and sold by Morin to a local lawyer, who would have been one of his father's business rivals.

The business
Morin's automobile manufacturing business grew following the war to a point where in 1922 he was employing more than 50 people.   However, located in a small country town the manufacturer was isolated from the synergistic networks of expertise and suppliers available to automakers in the Paris hub, and Morin found himself out-competed.   Production ended in 1925 by which time about 800 cars had been produced.   The Garage Moderne nevertheless continued in existence till 1956.

The war and beyond
During the war the factory was requisitioned for munitions production.

Less than a year after peace broke out Tuar took at stand at the 15th Paris Motor Show in October 1919 and promoted a 10HP car designated as the "Tuar Type B2".   The 10HP Tuar used a 1,790 cc 4-cylinder engine of unspecified provenance.

The list of engines fitted in Tuar cars during the next few years is a long one.   It included 4-cylinder engines of 1244cc, 1327cc 1495cc, 1503cc, 160acc, 1821cc.   Although the company's leading engine supplier was Chapuis-Dornier they were also fitting 4-cylinder units from CIME, Fivet and Ruby.   A 6-cylinder 1496cc engine from CIME also featured.

title: Presbyterian Church of Bangladesh

text:
The Presbyterian Church of Bangladesh (PCB) is a Reformed Churches conservative and evangelical in Bangladesh. Formed in 1995 by Rev. Edward Ayub, a former Muslim convert to Christianity, with the assistance of Presbyterian Church in America.

History
The Presbyterian churches originate from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. It is the Christian churches Protestant that adhere to Reformed theology and whose ecclesiastical government is characterized by the government of an assembly of elders. Government Presbyterian is common in Protestant churches that were modeled after the Reformation Protestant Switzerland, notably in Switzerland, Scotland, Netherlands,  France and portions of Prussia, of Ireland and later in United States.

In 1984, Reverend Edward Ayub, a former Muslim, was converted to Christianity. Later, in 1995, inspired by Asian Christian missionaries, and with the help of Presbyterian Church in America, he founded the Presbyterian Church of Bangladesh

Between 1996 and 1997, the denomination received assistance from Korean Presbyterian missionaries.

The Presbyterian Church of Bangladesh today
Today the PCB works on church planting among the country's Muslim communities, so that most of its members are ex-Islamic converts to Christianity.

The church relies on financial and missionary support from Presbyterian Church in America to plant churches in Bangladesh. In addition, in 2015, greater involvement between the two churches was sought.

The PCB is a member of the World Reformed Fellowship which is a worldwide organization that brings together conservative Reformed churches. However, the church has a conservative rather than ecumenical missionary vision.

He campaigned vigorously for Sassou Nguesso in the March 2002 presidential election. In the May–June 2002 parliamentary election, Ibovi stood as the candidate of the National Convention for the Defense and Promotion of Denis Sassou Nguesso's Ideas (CNDPID) in the second constituency of Talangaï, a district of Brazzaville. He faced Théophile Adoua, the candidate of the Congolese Labour Party (PCT). However, on 28 May 2002—two days after the first round of voting—Ibovi was disqualified by the electoral commission. He was accused of orchestrating an assault on the head of the local election commission, tampering with ballot boxes, and continuing to campaign after the official end of the campaigning period. The government reportedly viewed Ibovi as being too combative and favored candidates who appeared "more respectable". Ibovi said that partial results from the first round showed him winning about 52% of the vote. He argued that the electoral commission did not have the authority to disqualify him and said that he would pursue legal action. Ibovi subsequently became Mayor of Ouenzé, another Brazzaville district.

Later, the CNDPID was transformed into a new political party under Ibovi's leadership, the Movement for Democracy and Progress (MDP), which was officially launched on 18 February 2007. In the June–August 2007 parliamentary election, Ibovi stood as the MDP candidate in the second constituency of Talangaï. In the first round, he placed first with 46.14% of the vote, ahead of the PCT candidate Théophile Adoua, who received 42.8%. Ibovi and Adoua, both pro-government candidates, therefore faced one another in a second round of voting. Ibovi won the seat in the second round with 58.50% of the vote; he was the only MDP candidate to obtain a seat in the National Assembly. After the National Assembly began meeting for its new term, Ibovi was designated as First Vice-President of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Commission on 18 September 2007.

At a constituent meeting on 5 February 2011, Ibovi discussed the state budget for 2011, explaining the amount of funds provided to key ministries for investment in national development. He praised President Sassou Nguesso's leadership and his development program and urged people to support the President. On 5 May 2011, Ibovi called on all the various political parties supporting Sassou Nguesso to unite into a single party. Unlike a number of other small parties, however, the MDP did not merge into Sassou Nguesso's party, the Congolese Labour Party (PCT), in 2011. Ibovi argued that, while he supported Sassou Nguesso, it was necessary to make a distinction between the President and his political party.

Ibovi's constituency in Talangaï was affected by a massive explosion at a munitions dump in March 2012, in which hundreds of people were killed. In the July–August 2012 parliamentary election, voting was not held in his constituency, as well as two others that were affected, due to the disaster; Ibovi and the two other deputies had their terms extended by the Constitutional Court in a ruling on 17 August 2012. The ruling was in line with a constitutional provision allowing for such extensions when voting could not be properly held due to "exceptionally serious circumstances".

On 1 September 2012, Ibovi visited constituents in the Kanga-Mbanzi section of Talangaï, which was badly affected by the blast. Many people were left homeless and reduced to sleeping in tents; angry and feeling neglected by the government, some threatened to take shelter in public buildings during the rainy season, when their tents would not be sufficient. Ibovi assured the people that the government understood their plight and would help them, and he asked that they not occupy public buildings. He apparently succeeded in calming the situation.

After the National Assembly began meeting for its new term, Ibovi was again designated as First Vice-President of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Commission on 19 September 2012.

From 11 May 2013 to 12 August 2013, Ibovi stayed in Paris for medical treatment. He held constituent meetings on 26 September and 28 September 2013, where he credited God and the prayers of his constituents for his return. He vowed that the 2014 budget must include relief for people affected by the explosion, and he called for calm and patience. On 30 December 2013, Ibovi, along with the Future Generation foundation, distributed food to widowed residents of Talangaï for New Year's celebrations.

Speaking at an MDP party meeting on 2 March 2014, Ibovi argued that it was necessary to diversify the economy beyond its reliance on oil. He also blamed government ministers for "paralyzing inertia" that interfered with the implementation of Sassou Nguesso's plans for economic development. At a constituency meeting on 14 June 2014, he discussed the National Assembly's recent work and listened to complaints about local problems. He stressed his dedication to helping young people get training and employment, saying that he was responsible for the training of a thousand local youths over the course of five years. He also stressed that he used his own pay to help young people.

Standing as an MDP candidate, Ibovi was elected as a local councillor in Talangaï in the September 2014 local elections. He subsequently relinquished that seat, and the MDP selected Roland Valere Okouelet-Dongaud to take his place on 28 October 2014.

In the July 2017 parliamentary election, Ibovi stood for re-election in the second constituency of Talangaï. In his re-election campaign he cited his accomplishments in providing job training for young people and vowed to make job training available to 600 more young people. He was re-elected in the first round of voting, receiving 56% of the vote. He was again designated as First Vice-President of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the National Assembly on 2 September 2017.

title: Tatjana Gsovsky

text:
Tatjana Gsovsky (/Tatjana Wassiljewna Gsowskaja, born Issatschenko ; 18 March 1901 – 29 September 1993) was an internationally known ballet dancer and choreographer who was ballet mistress of the Berlin State Opera, Teatro Colón, Deutsche Oper Berlin and Oper Frankfurt. An influential teacher, she is remembered for first choreographies of works by contemporary composers including Boris Blacher, Werner Egk, Hans Werner Henze, Giselher Klebe, Luigi Nono and Carl Orff.

Career
Tatjana Issatschenko was born in Moscow and studied there, first art history. She studied ballet in the studio of Isadora Duncan in St. Petersburg. After the October Revolution, she worked as a ballet trainer in Krasnodar, where she met her colleague Victor Gsovsky. They got married and emigrated to Berlin in 1924. From 1928 they ran a private ballet school. After World War II, she was from 1945 to 1951 the ballet mistress at the Deutsche Staatsoper (Berlin State Opera) (which was from 1949 in East Berlin), where she created a new company. From 1952 to 1953 she served in that function at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, from 1953 to 1966 at the Deutsche Oper Berlin (then in West Berlin) and from 1959 to 1966 also at the Oper Frankfurt. In 1955, Gsovsky founded the Berliner Ballett, a troupe touring in Europe with modern Tanztheater on a classical base.

She died in Berlin and received an Ehrengrab (honorary grave) on the Waldfriedhof Zehlendorf.

Work
Gsovsky created choreographies that dominated the dance scene in Germany for 20 years, in a synthesis of classical ballet with elements of Ausdruckstanz, including findings of psychology. She was the first to create choreographies of Hans Werner Henze's Der Idiot (Berlin, 1952), Carl Orff's Trionfo di Afrodite (Milan, 1953), Werner Egk's Die chinesische Nachtigall (Munich, 1953), Luigi Nono's Der rote Mantel (The Red Cloak, Berlin, 1954), Henri Sauguet's Die Kameliendame (Berlin, 1957), Giselher Klebe's Menagerie (Berlin, 1958), Florian Leopold Gassmann's Paean (Berlin, 1960), and Boris Blacher's Tristan (Berlin, 1965). She staged the German premieres of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (Berlin, 1948) and Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins (Frankfurt, 1960). Gsovsky wrote the book Ballett in Deutschland (Berlin, 1954).

Teacher
One of Gsovsky's most successful students was Natascha Trofimowa who attended her Berlin school and later danced in the ballets she choreographed at the Berlin State Opera.

title: Central northeastern Portuguese

text:
The central northeastern dialect of Brazilian Portuguese () is a dialect spoken in the central part of the Northeast Region, Brazil, in all the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Alagoas and Sergipe, much of the state of Pernambuco (except for the Zona da Mata and the Recife metropolitan area), north of Bahia, south of Ceará, southeastern of Piauí and a few regions of Maranhão. It has roughly about 53,000,000 native speakers and varies within the region. This dialect shares similarities between north coast, Baiano and Recifense dialects.

Main features
Predominant use of voiced (d̪) and voiceless (t̪) dental stops before close front unrounded vowel (i) even in final syllables "de" and "te", like presente  ("present") and diário  ("daily").
Palatalization predominant (but not always recurring) of fricatives  and  in  and  before voiceless () and voiced () alveolar stops, and also, but less often, before the denti-alveolar lateral approximant () and the denti-alveolar nasal (), like poste  ("post"), desde  ("from", "since"), os navios  ('the ships"), and dois lados  ("two sides").
Debuccalization of syllable-final  and  in colloquial speech (in a number of words and with varying frequency according to the place) to the glottal fricatives [h] and [ɦ] (when in the end of words, this only happens if there's another word following it, but if it doesn't, the pronunciations of these consonants are the standard ones), like mesmo  ("same") and eu fiz tudo   (being more common ).
Debuccalization of the letter "v" (normally pronounced as ) in colloquial speech to the voiced glottal fricative , in some of the verbal forms (those starting with "v") of the verbs "Ir" ("to go"), "Vir" ("to come") and "Ver" ("to see"), like Vamo?  or  ("Let's go?"), Tu vem?  ("Are you coming?") and Vai te embora!   ("(You) Go away!").
In "des", "dis", "tes" or "tis" syllables, there are voiced alveolar sibilant affricate () and voiceless alveolar sibilant affricate (): idades  ("ages", "years") and partes  ("parts").
Voiced glottal fricative () and voiceless glottal fricative () are present in the sound of the letter "r" (the first between syllables, but never with an "r" starting a non-initial syllable alone, because these do , and the second at the beginning of words or digraph "rr"). None of the two phonemes occur at the end of words. Examples: corda  ("rope"), rabo  ("tail" - also locally in Brazilian Northeast "buttocks") and barragem  ("dam"), querer  ("to want").
Opening of the pre-tonic vowels  and  to  and  most of these syllables with vowels: rebolar  ("throw away").

IPA for Central northeastern Portuguese

This key also serves, for the most part, to the north coast and recifense dialects. But the dialects cited here do not have the phoneme /d͡z/ and /t͡s/, characteristic of the central northeastern dialect. Recifense dialect usually palatalizes fricatives in any syllabic consonant meeting (including the end of words) and not only before /d/ and /t/. Moreover, in certain regions of southeastern of Piauí and Maranhão west coast also a greater or lesser palatalization of fricatives may occur under the influence of Amazonian dialects (northern and Amazon Plateau), and even the absence of such palatalization. That is, in some areas the sound is alveolar (/s/ and /z/), and in others postalveolar /ʃ/ and /ʒ/. In north coast dialect, also virtually no dental stops before /i/, /j/ or /ĩ/, and in its place they use postalveolar affricates (/d͡ʒ/ and /t͡ʃ/). In contrast, the central northeastern dialect has almost exclusive predominance of dental stops before /i/, /j/ or /ĩ/. And the postalveolar affricates are used only in the following cases: in words of foreign origin in the Portuguese language, especially English; in words denoting slang and regionalisms; and phonemes are present in the standard variety of Brazilian Portuguese, are also often in television media to replace the dental stops (though never in common parlance).

Consonants

1After the vowels /i/ or /ĩ/ and semivowel /j/.
2Used in plural words ending in "des", "dis", "tes" and "tis".
3Between the end and the beginning of syllables.
4At the beginning of words and the digraph "rr".
5Also in palatalization of /z/ before /d/.
6Phonetic junction between /k/ and /s/.
7Allophone of /l/ before /i/ and /ĩ/.
8Also in palatalization of /s/ before /t/.

Marginal phonemes

1 Only in words of foreign origin in the Portuguese language, in words denoting slang, regionalisms and optionally the grapheme "di" and "ti" that are in post-tonic syllables with rising diphthongs (and never in all locations, depending on local state changes to state where it is spoken dialect), and phonemes are present in the standard variety of Brazilian Portuguese, are also often in television media to replace the dental stops (though never in common parlance).

Vowels and semivowels

1Substitution for unstressed vowels /e/ and /o/.
