title: Edsa Shangri-La, Manila

text:
Edsa Shangri-La, Manila is a 5-star luxury hotel located at Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong, Philippines and one of the three hotels managed by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts located in Metro Manila, Philippines. It opened on August 28, 1992. The hotel has 632 rooms and suites, four international restaurants, two lounges, a cafe, and a bakeshop, across two wings, and is considered a city resort.

The hotel is designed in a beach resort-style within the downtown area of the city and is located on the Shang Palace estate, which covers , and includes the hotel, Shangri-La Plaza, the residential St. Francis Shangri-La Place and a new Shangri-La Plaza East Wing opened in 2013. The hotel is considered one of the landmark buildings in Manila due to it being the first of its kind in the city, and its clientele consists 85 percent of locals rather than foreign tourists.

History
Edsa Shangri-La, Manila opened on August 28, 1992; it was the first Shangri-La property in the Philippines. Originally known as Shangri-La's Edsa Plaza Hotel, it was designed to recreate a five-star resort, such as those in Cebu and Boracay, but within the downtown Manila district of Ortigas Center. The hotel is 99.99% foreign owned.

In 2003, extensive renovations were completed, including the refurbishment of 440 rooms in the Tower Wing, and redesigns by Warner Wong Design and Architecture of Singapore for the Summer Palace and Nishiki restaurants.

In 2006 a  investment was announced to launch a spa facility, a then unique concept for Manila to have a Cebu-style spa within the city itself. It was modeled on the Shangri-La Mactan Island Resort & Spa, Cebu. The following year further renovations at a cost of US$8 million, creating 76 new jobs, saw improvement works on the Garden Wing and the Horizon Club Lounge.

In 2009 Shang Properties Inc. began construction of One Shangri-La Place, a twin-tower condominium that is part of an integrated community including Edsa Shangri-La Hotel and Shangri-La Plaza. The 60-storey structure includes 580 units and is expected to earn P10 billion, with completion of residential units due in 2014. In 2013 the Shangri-La Plaza, part of the Shang Place estate, was extended with the opening of the Shangri-La Plaza East Wing, the retail section of the forthcoming One Shangri-La Place residential tower to be completed in 2014.

Current General Manager Michael Hernandez, Patrick Schaub, and Omit Oberoi, who previously worked on properties in Thailand, the US, and Switzerland, took over from Henry Lee in April 2013.

Design and construction

The floors of the hotel are marble, while the interior includes Asian paintings and floral arrangements. The Tower Wing is coloured brown and red with cityscape views, while the Garden Wing has views over the landscaped gardens.

Interior design was developed by Hirsch Bedner Associates Design Consultants of Hong Kong during the 2006/7 renovations of the Garden Wing. Warner Wong Associates of Singapore renovated the rooms of the Tower Wing in 2003/4, while Leese Robertson Freeman of Hong Kong are currently renovating the same rooms for 2012/3. The hotel focuses on using local supplies and craftsmanship, such as the woodwork in the Summer Palace, designed by renowned Filipino artist-sculptor Claude Tayag.

Features
The hotel includes Horizon Club floors located on the 11th to the 14th floors, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour gym, spa, outdoor tennis courts, function and banquet halls that can accommodate up to 1,200 people, and a number of restaurants and bars.

title: Kopino

text:
Kopino (), or Korinoy in Filipino slang (a combination of "Korean" and "Pinoy"), is a term to call a person of mixed Korean and Filipino descent.

Background
A Filipino delegate at the 2005 international conference of ECPAT called for an investigation into the proliferation of Kopinos. According to the delegate, when the Korean fathers return to [South] Korea, most of them stop contacting their children in the Philippines and no longer provide any form of support. The responsibility then falls on the Filipina mother who is forced to raise the child herself. The Philippines is a strong Catholic nation that gives importance to the preservation of life, thus stigmatising alternatives such as abortion and the use of contraceptives. As a result, Kopino children are raised in a single parent household without any contact from their Korean father. This problem is a consequence of sex tourism in the Philippines by Korean men, specifically within areas such as Angeles City. As their fathers are not married to their mothers, the children are unable to obtain South Korean citizenship. As recently as 2003, Kopinos were believed to number fewer than 1,000; another 9,000 were born from 2003 to 2008. As a result, the Filipino perception of Korean men has been that of a negative view.
In response, South Korean NGOs such as the Daejeon Migrant Workers Support Center, alongside locally established NGOs like the Kopino Children Center, have begun to establish branch offices in the Philippines to provide social services to Kopino children and their mothers.

There are also Filipino Amerasians, Japinos, and Sinopinos in the Philippines.

Comparison to Lai Dai Han
A 2016 article in The Sungkyun Times said that Kopinos are referred to as the "New Lai Dai Han", and a 2013 article in The Granite Tower said that Kopinos are considered to be the "second version of Lai Dai Han".

Kopino population
A 2008 article in The Korea Times said that there may have been 10,000 Kopinos in 2008, in comparison to around 200,000 Japinos and 50,000 Ameripinos.

The 2008 news article also said that it was estimated that there were 1,000 Kopinos in 2003.

A 2011 article in Sun.Star Cebu said that Yoon Ji-hyun, president of the Kopino Foundation Inc. in Cebu, said that most Kopinos live in Quezon City.

The 'Mixed Filipino Heritage Act of 2020' estimated there were 30,000 Kopinos.

Profile of the parents of Kopinos

Profile of the Korean fathers
A 2016 article in The Sungkyun Times said that "the most important" factor that was causing more Kopinos to be fathered by Korean men was that the Korean men were deceiving the Filipino women about their intentions to have a future together with the Filipino women. The 2016 article said that 90% of the Korean fathers of Kopinos were students who were in their twenties.

South Korean television network MBC made a video where they interviewed Filipino hostesses at a hostess bar which was located somewhere on the island of Cebu in the Philippines. In the English-language dub by Link TV of the original MBC video, the video's narrator explained that "Most of the Korean men who solicit prostitution don't want to use a condom, causing prostitutes to get pregnant with their babies". In the dubbed video, a Filipino bar hostess was asked the question "Are there many Korean babies?" by an interviewer to which she replied "Almost, Korean men don't use a condom".

A 2016 article in The Korea Times said that ECPAT Korea classified the fathers of Kopinos into three broad categories. It said that there were young Korean men in school who went to the Philippines for the purpose of learning English, and it said that there were middle-aged Korean men who went to the Philippines for business reasons. Third, it said that there were Korean men who stayed in the Philippines for a short time for reasons of prostitution.

Profile of the Filipino mothers
In a 2016 article in The Sungkyun Times, 80% of Filipinos are Catholics, and Catholics are supposedly discouraged from using artificial contraceptives and abortion. This religious factor of Filipino women contributed to the increase of Kopinos. The article said that 90% of the Filipino mothers of Kopinos who had talked to the We Love Kopino organization were women who worked by teaching English or doing some other type of work that did not involve prostitution. The article said that this high percentage of non-prostitutes was contrary to the idea that the majority of the Filipino mothers of Kopinos were prostitutes.

South Korean television network MBC made a video where they interviewed Filipino hostesses at a hostess bar which was located somewhere on the island of Cebu in the Philippines. In the English-language dub by Link TV of the original MBC video, the narrator referenced the hostess bar when he said that "Many of the women who work here are Kopino mothers working to support their babies after being abandoned by Korean men," and the narrator said that  "The majority of Kopinos are born from hostess bars."

Korean men soliciting prostitutes
South Korean television network MBC did a video that talked about Korean men soliciting prostitutes in the Philippines. In the English-language dub by Link TV of the original MBC video, the narrator said, "With more and more Koreans visiting the Philippines to study or for vacation, the number of Koreans in the Philippines has increased four times in the last ten years. This has led tourism companies in to create prostitution tours, attracting Korean men."  The narrator then stopped talking, and a "tour guide" whose face was blurred out said, "We have a night tour in our travel course. It usually costs a hundred dollars for four people."  The narrator then resumed talking, and the narrator said, "Neon signs still shine brightly from the hostess bar for Koreans on Cebu street. About two-hundred and fifty Koreans have been arrested for soliciting prostitution in the Philippines during the last five years, more than any other group of foreigners." The Philippine Government is on crack down for these illegal activities.

Views of the issue
A 2015 article in Bangor Daily News said that Koreans were embarrassed about the Kopino issue, and it said that Koreans felt that not helping Kopinos made Koreans look "dishonest" due to the Kopino issue bearing comparison to the issue of the Japanese use of comfort women during the Second World War.

In a 2013 article in The Korea Times, an official of a Filipino woman's organization stated that "Filipinos believe that all Korean men are turning Filipino women into victims. This could increase anti-Korean sentiments in the Philippines."

A 2013 article in The Granite Tower said that collective anger towards Korean men who had abandoned their Kopino children in the Philippines had definitely created anti-Korean sentiment in the Philippines as of 2013.

A 2016 article in The Sungkyun Times said that there was formerly a trend among Filipino women to invest in the concept of a "Korean Dream", where they could potentially improve their situation by marrying a Korean man in the hopes of moving to Korea. However, the news article stated that this hope was gradually replaced by "disappointment and hatred" towards South Korea as a while, due to the aforementioned Filipino women witnessing the pattern of Korean men abandoning them and their Kopino children over the years. Due to the increasing number of Kopinos, the 2016 news article said that the Kopino issue has resulted in an increase of anti-Korean sentiment in the Philippines.

Response

Website to find Kopino fathers
Goo Bon-chang was a man who created a website in April 2015 that had pictures and other identifying information posted on it about Korean fathers who had abandoned their Kopino children to help find the Korean father. The website got its pictures from a civic group which received the pictures from Filipino mothers of abandoned Kopino children. The website creator said that some people were threatening to sue him for privacy invasion, but he doubted that they could sue him, because he felt that abandoning Kopino children was worse than what he was doing by exposing them for it. From April 2015 to January 2016, 30 Kopino children found their Korean father as a result of the 42 pictures of Korean fathers on the website.

A 2016 article in The Korea Times said that a lawyer said that the website did not break South Korean law, because the website was defaming the Korean fathers of abandoned Kopino children "in pursuit of the public interest" while other lawyers claimed that the website broke South Korean law.

South Korean citizenship for Kopinos
A 2016 article in The Sungkyun Times said that some advocates for Kopinos think that the South Korean government should do something for Kopinos in a similar way to what the Japanese government did for Japinos in the past when the Japino issue became a big issue. The Japanese government gave the Filipino women of Japino children money for living expenses, and the Japanese government gave the Filipino women of Japino children the ability to become Japanese citizens.

A 2015 article in The Granite Tower said that Han Moon-gi, chairman of the Korea Kopino Association, said that the South Korean government should handle the Kopino issue like the Japanese government handled the Japino issue. The Japanese government helped Japinos get jobs, it helped Japinos with education, it helped Japinos with welfare and it allowed Japinos to get Japanese citizenship.

A 2012 article in ABS-CBN said that a Korean father would have to acknowledge a Kopino child as his child before the Kopino could become a South Korean citizen, and it said that the Kopino child would have to file a lawsuit against the Korean father if the Korean father did not want to acknowledge the Kopino child as his child.

Multicultural Family Support denied
A 2015 article in The Dong-a Ilbo said that Kopinos could not benefit from South Korea's Multicultural Family Support Law, because Kopinos did not have South Korean nationality.

Child support rulings
A Korean man was ordered to pay child support in a landmark South Korean court ruling involving a Kopino child that happened on June 22, 2014. The South Korean government paid 10,000,000 won to get the DNA of the two Kopino sons tested, and the South Korean court forced the Korean man under threat of legal penalties to get his DNA tested too. A 2016 article in The Korea Times said that after being found to be the father, the South Korean court ruled that the Korean man had to pay 300,000 won every month as child support. A 2014 article in Yonhap said that the lawyer for the Filipino mother in this case said that the Filipino mother wanted her Kopino sons to be raised in South Korea, and the lawyer said that the Filipino mother wanted her Kopino sons to be added to the official family register of their Korean father.

A 2016 article in The Hankyoreh said that another paternity court ruling in South Korea that involved a Kopino child happened on May 28, 2015. In the 2015 ruling, the Korean man was ordered by the South Korean court to pay 500,000 won (US$450) every month for each of his two Kopino sons until the Kopino sons became adults and to pay an additional 20,000,000 won (US$17,800) in back child support.

South Korean lawmakers meeting
A 2013 article in ABS-CBN said that on December 21, 2012, Jasmine Lee and four other South Korean lawmakers met with Filipino mothers of Kopino children at the Kopino Children Association in the Philippines. The news article said that these five South Korean lawmakers pledged that they would help the Kopino children.

Book by university students
A 2017 article in The Hankyoreh said that a group of 7 students from Chonbuk National University did research and case studies in the Philippines related to the Kopino issue for more than a year, and then the group published a book about the Kopino issue which was available as an e-book and a hard copy book which was not for sale. The name of the book was I'll Keep Watching and Looking After You, and Chonbuk National University has copies of the book in its library.

Urgency of the issue
A 2016 article in The Korea Times said that the South Korean government claimed that the numerous murders of Koreans in the Philippines was an issue that was more urgent than the "half-breed" Kopino babies issue.

Media
Singaporean English news agency Channel NewsAsia published a video to their YouTube channel on Feb 11, 2014, where they interviewed a Filipino woman whose Korean husband abandoned her after she gave birth to his daughter. The Filipino woman said, "I tried to call my husband a lot back in 2005. He would answer, 'Hello' and then hang up."

A 2012 article in ABS-CBN said that Jasmine Lee said that the documentaries about Kopinos that aired on three major South Korean TV stations in 2011 were selling the story like the Filipino mothers of the Kopinos were sex workers.

South Korean television network MBC did a news story about an 18-year-old Filipino woman who said that she was raped by a Korean man in his thirties when she was 17 years old, an encounter that resulted in her Kopino child. The Filipino woman said that the Korean man promised her Filipino parents that he would pay child support if she promised not to sue him. The Filipino woman said that the Korean man then fled to South Korea and never returned.

South Korean television network SBS did a video that was published on July 6, 2014, on their YouTube channel where they interviewed a Filipino mother of three Kopino children. The Filipino mother was referring to the children's father when she said, "He said wait for me, just waiting, and I'm busy in Korea, sometimes busy, so I can't telephone. I'm waiting only, but, I believe him. I really believe him, their father... The difficult things that came to us is sometimes my children seek very hard..."

South Korean television network KBS did a video that was published on August 16, 2015, on their YouTube channel where they interviewed a Filipino mother of a Kopino child. The Filipino mother was referring to the child's father when she said, "And he said, no, I'm very serious. I'm not like other Korean guy, study in Cebu. I'm very, very serious, and this time is, uh, not true... He
send me money, fifteen thousand for the hospital bill. And he said, um, he come back after the problem solved with his, uh, mother. But, after that, no... In my opinion, posting picture is a good idea, if, uh, there is no other way to find his, uh, her father."

A 2015 article in The Granite Tower said that Han Moon-gi, chairman of the Korea Kopino Association, an association to help Kopinos, said that his association got volunteers and supporters due to media coverage of the Kopino issue, and Han said that media coverage is important for helping Kopinos.

A 2009 news article in The Sookmyung Times said that the Yomiuri Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper, did a broadcast about the Kopino issue in 2008, and The Sookmyung Times said that the Japanese newspaper's portrayal of the issue derided Korean men and portrayed the Kopino issue in a negative way. The Sookmyung Times said that the Japanese broadcast caused South Korea to lose its national image and lose its confidence.

Lives of Kopinos
A 2009 news article said that a Kopino male whose Korean father abandoned his Filipino mother when she got pregnant used his fist to beat up on a picture of his Korean father to show how much he hated his Korean father.

A 2009 news article said that Kopinos without a legal father could not enroll in school in the Philippines, because a legal father was needed to provide a name in the Filipino family register which was a requirement to attend elementary school in the Philippines under Filipino law.

A 2009 news article said that Kopinos were not considered to be Filipinos in the Philippines, it said that they were discriminated against by employers in the Philippines, and it said that they were the "laughingstock" of their Filipino playmates while growing up in the Philippines.

A 2014 article in The Philippine Star said that "some" Kopinos do "video and Internet porn".

A 2015 article in Bangor Daily News said that many Kopinos become prostitutes.

A 2016 article in The Korea Times said that Kopinos "often" become involved in prostitution or organized crime.

Kopinos in popular culture
In the KBS1 2014 South Korean drama You Are the Only One, a Kopino known as Verillio Lee Nam-soon (portrayed by Kim Min-kyo) arrived in Seoul from Iloilo in search of his Korean birth father.

title: SatCon Technology Corporation

text:
Satcon Technology Corporation (est. 1985)  is an energy and power company originally based in Cambridge, and later Boston, Massachusetts. Its markets include the utility, hybrid vehicle, ship building, industrial automation, semiconductor processing, and defense.

Mike Turmelle and Dave Eisenhaure left their positions in 2007 and 2008 respectively. They were replaced by Steve Rhoades and Aaron Gormolak. Mister Rhoades remained CEO until SatCon’s bankruptcy in 2012.

Satcon filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on October 17, 2012 and it announced to change to liquidate under Chapter 7 on February 7, 2013. As part of the settlement Perfect Galaxy and Great Wall purchased the company's assets including all Satcon Intellectual Property and Patents.

History
In 1985 SatCon Technology Corporation was founded by Dave Eisenhaure, formerly of MIT/Draper Laboratory, to develop, market, and sell products required by the world’s growing need for cleaner and lower-cost energy and power. In 1992 the company’s CEO Dave Eisenhaure and CFO Mike Turmelle took the company public on the Nasdaq exchange (NASDAQ:SATC). After the company became public, it acquired eight private companies and one public company. The two most notable of these acquisitions were the former Westinghouse Electric Vehicle Group, which was acquired from Northrop Grumman, and Inverpower, a public Canadian company. These acquisitions and the parent company were reorganized into a diverse organization with four plants in the U.S. and Canada. SatCon provided products and services to major international companies, including Chrysler, General Motors, Ford, Litton, Fuel Cell Energy, Applied Materials, as well as major divisions of the U.S. armed forces. SatCon also created Beacon Power as a separate public company to commercialize flywheel energy storage products. Products developed by SatCon have contributed to the advancement of the utility, hybrid vehicle, ship building, industrial automation, semiconductor processing, and defense markets. SatCon is particularly well known for its work in advanced electric drives; in the technology of inverters for smart grid and photovoltaic applications; and in the development of light-weight, high-power electronics, which contributed to the development of practical hybrid and electric vehicles.

In 1995 SatCon and Chrysler were awarded the Discover Award for innovation in automotive engineering. This award was granted for the development of the drivetrain for Chrysler’s Patriot Race Car. The Patriot Race Car was built as a testbed for a turbine-electric flywheel hybrid drive train with a maximum output of 750 horsepower. SatCon was the prime contractor, designing and manufacturing the drive train and developing the needed technologies for its implementation. SatCon and Chrysler were nominated for and ultimately selected from numerous candidates for this award by a committee of automotive experts assembled by Discover Magazine.

In 2003, SatCon introduced the first 100 KW PV inverter in a single cabinet, PowerGate, and in the next five years introduced the 225 KW, 500 KW, and 1 MW series Inverters that convert the direct current (DC) power into usable alternating (AC)

title: Moses Farrow

text:
Moses Amadeus Farrow  (born January 27, 1978) is a family therapist. The adopted son of actress Mia Farrow and director Woody Allen, he has come to the defense of his father against a sexual abuse allegation.

Early life and education
Moses Amadeus Farrow was born in South Korea with cerebral palsy, and was adopted by American actress Mia Farrow and film director Woody Allen in December 1991. He played a small role in Allen's 1986 film Hannah and Her Sisters.

Farrow attended the Dalton School in New York City, and received his undergraduate degree from Siena College, and his master's degree from the University of Connecticut.

Relationship with Woody Allen and Mia Farrow
On August 13, 1992, Allen sued for custody of Moses Farrow, who was called to submit written testimony by Mia Farrow's attorneys. In a letter addressed to Allen and read to the court, Moses (then age 14) declared that he did not consider Allen his father anymore. In subsequent media interviews, Moses told reporters that he was "sure my younger brother and sister don't want to go with him either." Mia Farrow was ultimately granted custody of Moses and attempted to have Allen's adoption of Moses annulled, though a court denied her request.

Years later as an adult, however, Farrow reunited with Allen and severed ties with Mia Farrow. In one People magazine interview in February 2014, Farrow defended his adopted father, rejecting public accusations made by his younger sister, Dylan Farrow, of child sexual abuse against Allen, saying, "I don't know if my sister really believes she was molested or is trying to please her mother. Pleasing my mother was very powerful motivation because to be on her wrong side was horrible." In that same interview, he described Mia Farrow as "vengeful" and his childhood being raised by her as "horrifying", claiming that she was physically abusive toward him.

In 2018, Farrow published a blog called "A Son Speaks Out," in which he argued for Allen's innocence, accused Mia Farrow of abuse, and offered a different version of his childhood from that given by some of his siblings.

In a December 2020 interview with The Guardian, Farrow said he would be happy to take his adopted father's surname.

Footage of Farrow appears in the documentary Allen v. Farrow even though he declined to participate.

Career
Farrow has been a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Connecticut since 2007. He specializes in adoption trauma therapy, especially among children who have been adopted by parents of a different racial group.

Personal life
Farrow lives with his family in Connecticut.

title: Let the Right One In (The Vampire Diaries)

text:
"Let the Right One In" is the 17th episode of the first season of The CW television series, The Vampire Diaries and the 17th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on April 8, 2010. The episode's story was written by Brian Young and the teleplay by Julie Plec. It was directed by Dennis Smith.

Plot
Anna (Malese Jow) is still at Jeremy's (Steven R. McQueen) room where Jeremy tries to convince her to turn him but she does not agree with it. Elena (Nina Dobrev) knocks on the door to ask Jeremy's help on checking all the windows due to the storm and Anna disappears before she opens the door.

Frederick (Stephen Martines) wants to go hunting with Anna but Pearl (Kelly Hu) does not allow him to. While Pearl plans her next trip into town where she will continue her research on how to get their town back, Frederick allies with the rest of the vampires who are all wanting to take their revenge on the Salvatore brothers and humans now and do not want to wait.

Damon (Ian Somerhalder) explains Pearl's plan to Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena cannot believe that he made a deal with her. Damon leaves and Stefan promises Elena to handle the situation.

Anna and Jeremy meet at the Grill where Jeremy tries once again to convince Anna to turn him. She asks him to keep her secret from everyone and she sees his bracelet with the vervain that Elena gave him. Jeremy offers to give it to her since she likes it so much but she gives it back to him and asks him to keep wearing it. Pearl gets into the Grill to find and take Anna and Anna gets up to walk away from Jeremy sending him a text to explain that her mother walked in. On their way out they run into Mayor Lockwood (Robert Pralgo) and Tyler (Michael Trevino). Mayor asks them not to go out in the storm and invites them to join them for dinner but Pearl declines. She hears his name on her way out and changes her mind coming back.

Meanwhile, Stefan is weakened by the fight with Frederick and Bethanne and goes out for hunting alone. Frederick and the other vampires find him, they stab him in the gut and take him to their house. Damon worries about Stefan not coming back home and not answering his phone and goes to Elena to ask if he is there. He suspects that Stefan has been taken by Pearl's vampires and his suspicions are confirmed when he visits the house and Frederick answers the door. They show him Stefan who is wounded but Damon can't enter the house to help him without invitation.

Damon tells Elena that Stefan is in the house but he cannot get in. Elena wants to go herself but Damon stops her. He knows that they have to save Stefan but does not know how. They go to school to ask Alaric's (Matt Davis) help since he knows about vampires, has weapons and the ring that protects him. Alaric denies to help them but he accepts when Damon tells him that Pearl can lead him to Isobel.

Meanwhile, the vampires keep torturing Stefan by stringing him up on vervain-laced ropes and stabbing him. Harper (Sterling Sulieman) shows up and tries to stop them since Pearl would not agree to this but the other vampires tie him up as well and stake him on the legs.

Damon and Alaric make their plan while Elena insists to go into the house with them. Damon refuses and explains her why she cannot get into that house that is, in case she does not know, full of vampires. Elena can drive the car but she has to stay in it while the two of them try to help Stefan.

Alaric knocks on Pearl's door and when Frederick answers he tells him that he needs to use his phone because his car broke down. Frederick lets him in and when Alaric is led to the kitchen, he stakes the vampire who'is there and leads Miss Gibbons (Tiffany Morgan) to the door but she refuses to invite Damon in since she is compelled not to do it. Damon asks if there are any other living people who live in this house and when he is sure that there are not, he breaks her neck and gets in.

Back at the Grill, Pearl tries to get as many details as she can from the Mayor about his family at the dinner. Anna and Jeremy exchange texts from across the room but Pearl notices and asks the Mayor who is the boy. He tells her that his name is Jeremy Gilbert. Pearl follows Anna to the ladies' room and confronts her about Jeremy. She tells her the Gilbert family is the reason she was trapped in the tomb for over a century and asks her to stop seeing him because when he finds out what she is he will turn on her. Anna reveals that Jeremy already knows and Pearl slaps her. Anna walks out of the Grill texting Jeremy: "I'll do it".

Damon keeps looking for Stefan killing some other vampires in the process. Alaric returns to the car but Elena is not there so he goes back to the house knowing that she went there to help Stefan. Elena sneaks into the basement getting herself in trouble before Damon appears to save her. They find Stefan and Harper and they free them. Damon goes to distract Frederick, who already got suspicious that something is going on, while Elena helps Stefan to get out.

Damon fights with Frederick and two other vampires when Alaric shows up to help him. Frederick escapes and Damon searches the house to find him but he is not there. They try to get out to head to the car but a bunch of vampires appear and they return in. Pearl and Anna return home to find them inside. Damon explains what happened before he and Alaric walk out the door, leaving Pearl and Anna behind with all the vampire bodies.

Stefan and Elena make it back to the car but the key is missing. Frederick shows up and starts hitting and stabbing Stefan. He is about to kill him when Elena stabs him in the back. Stefan tells Elena to run but she gives him her wrist to drink from so he can regain his strength. Stefan tries to resist but eventually he drinks and manages to kill Frederick.

In the meantime, Caroline (Candice Accola) has to drive to a family engagement in the storm and she leaves after she says goodbye to Matt (Zach Roerig). The main roads are closed so she drives in the backwoods when her car gets stuck in the mud. She has no cell reception so she decides to get out trying to get one and call for help. She falls down and grabs a tree root to steady herself only to discover that it is a human arm.

Matt and Kelly (Melinda Clarke) prepare their dinner when the doorbell rings and Caroline is at the door with her mom, Liz (Marguerite MacIntyre). They ask to see Kelly and they inform her, and Matt, that they found Vicky's body. Liz calls the Mayor to let him know. When he tells Tyler they have to go, he tells him about Vicky and Jeremy also hears. Tyler and Jeremy head to Matt's house and Jeremy also calls Elena to tell her.

Elena and Jeremy return home where Jeremy finds Anna waiting on his room. Anna realizes that Jeremy only wanted to turn to find Vicky and she takes off before Jeremy apologizes.

Damon sits next to Alaric at the bar for a drink and tries to have a friend-talk with him but Alaric punches him and leaves. Damon returns home and finds IV blood bags all over the place and Stefan drinking from one.

Reception

Ratings
In its original American broadcast, "Let the Right One In" was watched by 3.48 million; up by 0.68 from the previous episode.

Reviews
"Let the Right One In" received positive reviews.

Matt Richenthal of TV Fanatic rated the episode with 4.2/5. "While "Let the Right One In" didn't delve much into the show's mythology, it held nothing back when it came to blood, gore and violence. [...] From Stefan getting tortured like Jack Bauer, to multiple stake stabbings and blood sucking, this episode was filled with the sort of fare not typically scene on television at 8 p.m."

Josie Kafka from Doux Reviews rated the episode with 3/4. "Our heroes and our villains are choosing sides. Damon, Elena, and Alaric made an alliance to save Stefan, the tombies are replaying the civil war, and Jeremy is trying to bat for the other team. With only five episodes left until the finale, it seems like some serious battle lines are being drawn."

Robin Franson Pruter rated the episode with 3/4 saying that the episode presages a major development in the character of Stefan Salvatore. "This episode only hints at the full import of what occurs, but the events here begin a huge unpacking of the complexity of the character of Stefan. [...] No words are said in this final scene. Wesley and Somerhalder convey much with just an exchange of glances, Stefan’s guilty desperation, Damon’s apprehension, suggesting that, whatever this means, it doesn’t bode well." and she closes her review: "This episode presents strong character development (Alaric excluded), examines the evolving and deepening of relationships between these characters, and offers an exciting storyline that evolves from those characters and relationships, even as that story deepens what we know about them."

Popsugar from Buzzsugar gave a good review to the episode. "I'll admit that I wasn't sure how the Salvatore brothers could survive this week's The Vampire Diaries. When Stefan gets nabbed by Frederick and his fanged friends, you basically have the perfect setup for a bloodbath — and the episode doesn't disappoint in that department." Popsugar also commented on the Elena/Damon relationship saying: "Can you say sexual tension? Elena and Damon get into it while standing thisclose (in the rain, no less) as they argue about if Elena can go to save Stefan. They really have a nice mix of heat and genuine concern for each other. I guess time will only tell when/if these two get together."

Zeba of Two Cents TV also gave a good review to the episode saying that it was more thrilling than last week’s. "Things got a little crazy on last night’s episode of the Vampire Diaries, and if you guessed that most of the craziness came from Miss Pearl’s gang of misfit vampires, led by the sketchy Frederick – then you are so right."

Tiffany Vogt of The TV Watchtower gave a good review to the episode. "Once the crypt was opened, we knew that a blood-bath was coming to Mystic Falls. We just did not foresee that it would be a vampire blood-bath. Who knew that the entombed vamps would be so blood-thirsty for revenge on their fellow vamps, Stefan and Damon?"

Critical reception
Tim Dowling of The Guardian said the series "was not enhanced by Caroline Aherne's jokey narration, and it had more than its fair share of isn't-he-a-character type characters, but it was saved for me by a surprising discovery: the pound shop business is actually pretty interesting." Metro Caroline Westbrook said it "certainly didn't disappoint". Bath Chronicle called the narration "lacklustre" and commented on how boring the series was. Andrew Billen from The Times gave the programme three stars out of five. The Sunday Times said "Full marks to the makers of this documentary, who find a clever and absorbing way to tell the story of the biggest current trend on Britain's high streets."

title: Come On Down to My Boat

text:
"Come On Down to My Boat" is a song written by Jerry Goldstein and Wes Farrell and performed by Every Mother's Son. Their only top 40 hit ever, it reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967, and appeared on their self-titled debut album; on the album the track was titled "Come and Take a Ride in My Boat". This same title was used by the Rare Breed who released their version the previous year, in September 1966.

The song was produced by Wes Farrell and was ranked No. 22 on Billboard magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1967.

This basic song is about liberation, involving an unnamed girl who is a fisherman's daughter, who is stranded and tied up in a boat on the dock, where a young man wants to cut that rope, telling her to come on down to his boat, where they would have fun playing and sailing away from her over protective father. Metaphorically it suggests living a much more carefree overall life than she currently leads.

title: Speed skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Qualification

text:
The following is about the qualification rules and the quota allocation for the speed skating events at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Qualification
Each NOC is allowed to delegate a maximal number of ten men and ten women speed skaters who reached the qualification criteria. A proposal of the Dutch skating association (KNSB) to add an extra athlete, especially for the team pursuit event, was rejected at the congress of the international federation ISU in Kuala Lumpur in June 2012.

Qualification times
The qualification times were released in July 2013. The women's times stay the same from Vancouver except for a more stringent standard in the 3000 m, while the men's qualification times have all slightly decreased.

Pre-qualification
Every nation that would not achieve any quota places in the 2013–14 ISU Speed Skating World Cup could be allocated one spot based on the results in the previous season if one skater would have achieved at least the following result. For the 500, 1000, 1500 meters, 3000 meters women, and 5000 meters men, a place among the top 16 of the 2012–13 ISU Speed Skating World Cup or the 2013 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships; for the 5000 meters women and 10000 meters men, a place among the top 8 of the 2012–13 ISU Speed Skating World Cup or the 2013 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships. Also, as hosts, both the Russian men and women will be allocated one of eight spots in the team pursuit events.

The following table shows which countries met these criteria for which distance.

title: 48th Army (Soviet Union)

text:
The 48th Army was a field army of the Soviet Red Army, active from 1941 to 1945. The army was first formed in August 1941 and fought in the Leningrad Strategic Defensive Operation. The army suffered heavy losses and was disbanded in early September. Its remnants were moved to the 54th Army. Reformed in April 1942 on the Bryansk Front, the army fought in the Maloarkhangelsk Offensive in the winter of 1943. It was sent to the Central Front in March and defended the northern face of the Kursk Bulge. During the summer, it fought in Operation Kutuzov and the Chernigov-Pripyat Offensive. From November, the army fought in the Gomel-Rechitsa Offensive. The army fought in Operation Bagration from June 1944. During the offensive, the army captured Zhlobin and Bobruisk and was on the Narew by early September. During early 1945, the army fought in the East Prussian Offensive and ended the war in East Prussia during May. The army was transferred to Poland in July 1945 and its headquarters was used to form the Kazan Military District in September.

First Formation
The army was established on 7 August 1941 from the Novgorod Operational Group, under command of Lt. Gen. Stepan Akimov, its initial order of battle was as follows:

 70th Rifle Division
 128th Rifle Division
 237th Rifle Division
 1st Separate Mountain Rifle Brigade
 21st Tank Division
The army was assigned to Northwestern Front and was responsible for the front's left flank north of Lake Ilmen. It also had under command the Ilmen Detachment of Ships. On 12 August the army, along with the 11th, 27th and 34th Armies, began a series of assaults against the German X Army Corps near Staraya Russa. These attacks failed to regain much territory but delayed the German advance on Leningrad by a further week.

Following this, the 48th took up positions forward of Luga and Novgorod as part of the Luga defense line. That line was penetrated in the renewed German advance, and Luga fell on 20 August, with heavy Soviet casualties; the army was a wreck with only 6,235 men, 5,043 rifles and 31 guns remaining. It was transferred to the Northern Front and ordered to defend the Gruzino-Liuban sector southeast of Leningrad. On 23 August Northern Front was subdivided, and 48th Army became part of the new Leningrad Front.

On 1 September the 48th comprised the 128th and 311th Rifle Divisions, the mountain brigade, the 541st Gun Artillery Regiment of the Reserve of the Supreme High Command and the 21st Tank Division. At this time, it was commanded by Lieutenant General Maxim Antoniuk. Heavy attacks by the German XXXIX Motorized Corps forced the army to abandon Mga, a key railway link. Akimov was ordered to retake the town, which he did with the help of a fresh division of NKVD border guards, but the town was lost again the next day. During the first week of September the 20th Motorized Division, reinforced with elements of 12th Panzer Division, ground its way northwards against the resistance of the mountain brigade and the NKVD men before capturing Shlisselburg on Lake Ladoga on 8 September, isolating Leningrad, with the bulk of the army outside, to the east. On 12 September, the remnants of 48th Army were disbanded, being reassigned to the new 54th Army.

Second Formation
The army was formed for a second time from 28th Mechanized Corps (Second Formation) Headquarters on 20 April 1942, part of the Bryansk Front. It included the 1st Guards Rifle Division, a mortar regiment and a separate engineer battalion. The army was commanded by Major General Grigory Khalyuzin. On 1 June, the army included the 6th Guards, 8th, 211th and 280th Rifle Divisions. It also included the 118th and 122nd Rifle Brigades as well as the 80th and 202nd Tank Brigades. Artillery and engineer units were also included. Air support was provided by the 879th Light Bomber Aviation Regiment. Army troops took up positions on the Korobka River west of Novosil. From the end of June to July, the army fought in heavy defensive battles in the Yeletsky direction. During the battles, the army was able to hold the German troops at the line of Bolshoy Malinovets, Zalegosh, Setenyovo and Svetitsky. On 27 August the deputy commander of the army, Major General Konstantin Ignatievich Novik,  was killed in action at Dishnia Station during a heavy enemy artillery raid. In February 1943, the army launched an offensive in the Maloarkhangelsk direction. On 12 February, Lieutenant General Prokofy Romanenko took command of the army. By 23 February it was in position southwest of Novosil and northwest of Maloarkhangelsk.

On 13 March, the army was transferred to the Central Front. During the summer and fall of 1943, the army fought in battles on the northern face of the Kursk Bulge, Operation Kutuzov and the Chernigov-Pripyat Offensive. Continuing to advance towards Gomel along with the 61st and 65th Armies, the 48th Army cleared the left bank of the Sozh of German troops by 10 October. The army then pursued the German troops to the south of Gomel. On 20 October, it transferred to the Belorussian Front and from the first week of November fought in the expansion of the bridgehead on the right bank of the Sozh. From 19 November, it fought in the Gomel-Rechitsa Offensive. During early 1944, the army carried out an attack towards Bobruisk.

At the outset of Operation Bagration on 23 June 1944, the 48th Army had been substantially reinforced, and was comprised as follows:
 29th Rifle Corps (102nd, 217th Rifle Divisions)
 42nd Rifle Corps (137th, 170th, 399th Rifle Divisions)
 53rd Rifle Corps (17th, 73rd, 96th Rifle Divisions)
 197th Rifle Division
 115th Fortified Region
 22nd Artillery Division (13th and 59th Light Artillery Brigades, 63rd Howitzer Artillery Brigade)
 68th Light Artillery Brigade
 220th Guards Antitank Artillery Regiment
 479th Mortar Regiment
 31st Antiaircraft Artillery Division (1376th, 1380th, 1386th, 1392nd Antiaircraft Artillery Regiments)
 461st Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment
 42nd and 231st Separate Tank Regiments
 341st Guards Heavy Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment
 713th, 1890th and 1897th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiments
 39th Separate Armored Train Division
 57th Engineering-Sapper Brigade
 104th Pontoon Bridge Battalion
 142nd Separate Flamethrower Company
The main mission of the army in the initial stages was to screen the three German divisions in the triangle formed by the Dniepr and Berezina rivers, while assisting the breakthrough of 3rd Army to the north with an assault by 42nd and 29th Rifle Corps against the German positions north of Rogachev; this would form the northern pincer seeking to encircle the German 9th Army. By the evening of 24 June the Soviet corps were 5 km west of that town, the 296th Infantry Division had been overwhelmed, and the breakthrough was being exploited by 9th Tank Corps into the German rear. Advancing towards Bobruisk, the army captured Zhlobin on 26 June and along with the 65th Army destroyed German troops surrounded in the Bobruisk area. On 29 June, army troops captured Bobruisk. Continuing the attack towards Baranovichi and Brest, 28th, 65th and 48th Armies defeated German troops around Baranovichi during three days of fighting. At the end of July, the army was south of Surazh. During August and early September, the army advanced 150 kilometers and reached the Narew by 8 September in the area of Ruzhany and Pułtusk. The army went on the defensive and transferred to the 2nd Belorussian Front on 22 September 1944. On 15 December 1944, Lieutenant General Nikolai Gusev became the army's commander.

During early 1945, the army fought in the East Prussian Offensive. On 11 February it was moved to the 3rd Belorussian Front. It advanced to the Frisches Haff on 25 March, where it went on the defensive. From 1 to 5 May, the army led attacks on the Baltic coast. In July 1945 it was moved from Germany to Poland, and in September 1945 its headquarters was used to form the Kazan Military District (:ru:Казанский военный округ).

title: Afterlehen

text:
An Afterlehen or Afterlehn (plural: Afterlehne, Afterlehen) is a fief that the liege lord has himself been given as a fief and which he has then, in turn, enfeoffed wholly or partially to a lesser vassal or vassals. The term is German. It is variously referred to in English as a mesne-fief or mesne-tenure, an arriere-fief or subfief, under-tenure or mesnalty.

Within the Holy Roman Empire, these mesne fiefs became inheritable over time and could have up to five "stations" between the actual holder of the fief and the overarching liege lord.

An example of an Afterlehen is Rothenberg Castle in Bavaria, Germany.

title: Perfect World (Broken Bells song)

text:
"Perfect World" is a song written by James Mercer and Brian Burton of the American alternative rock band Broken Bells. It was originally recorded by the band for their second studio album, After the Disco, where it appears as the opening track on the album. A "Perfect World" promotional single was released for streaming on the Australian branch of commercial music streaming service Spotify on February 4, 2014, becoming the third release by the band in promotion of After the Disco, after singles "Holding On for Life" and "After the Disco."

Composition
The song was written in the context of After the Disco, where most of the lyrics and music center around a common theme of the party and the morning after, usually in the form of a metaphor for a break-up in a relationship. The song's hook, which had been described by vocalist James Mercer as having a sense of "shamefulness", were the first lyrics written for the song, serving as the inspirational basis for the rest of the song's lyrics. Mercer spoke to National Public Radio, stating:
"That hook came somewhere along the line. ... I remember when it did happen, though, that it felt like, okay, well, there's like a shamelessness to it, with the keyboard sound and the real, over-the-top melody. It was like, 'So what, man?' We grew up listening to things that were big, but they were sad, too. So, it was like, well, we can be big as long as it's as sad as [our music gets]. It's just there. So we didn't really dial it back too much."

Recording
"Perfect World" was first written and recorded well into the recording sessions for After the Disco, borrowing elements from the title track, "After the Disco", a track which they had finished working on by the time "Perfect World" had been conceived. A chord progression for the song was the first written element of the song; instruments and vocals were recorded later on. Two versions of "Perfect World" were originally created by the band; one version presenting the song as a lighter, yet fast-paced melody and one presenting it as a heavier, slower melody. The final version of the track that appears as the opening track on After the Disco features elements of both of the original versions of the track, mixing it into a single track.

title: 1968 Vancouver Royals season

text:
The 1968 Vancouver Royal Canadians season was the second season in the history of the Vancouver Royal Canadians soccer club. The club played in the North American Soccer League (NASL) at Empire Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Following the 1967 season, the USA and the FIFA-blacklisted National Professional Soccer League merged to form the North American Soccer League. The merger meant that teams from the predecessor leagues competing against each other in the same markets needed to be moved, combined, or folded. As part of this process, George Fleharty bought the Vancouver Royal Canadians from E.G. Eakins and folded his NPSL team, the San Francisco Golden Gate Gales.  The new owner shortened the name to Vancouver Royals and chose player-coach Ferenc Puskás over future England coach Bobby Robson, the previous owner's new manager for the Vancouver Royals; he resigned when offered the demotion to assistant coach.  The 1968 Vancouver Royals' roster was put together without the preparation or advantage of importing an entire team. A significant amount of the team was recruited by Bobby Robson including two brothers from Hong Kong playing in England. Ferenc Puskás also brought in several Europeans, a few players with connections to the Golden Gate Gaels, as well as at least two local players from local leagues. A few foreign players settled in Vancouver after their playing careers including Peter Dinsdale.
The Vancouver Royals had the third highest average attendance in the league at 6,197. The club folded after the 1968 season as the NASL contracted from seventeen clubs to five for the 1969 NASL season. The five remaining teams were located roughly in the U.S. Midwest with one team on the east coast.
