title: Five-O (mobile application)

text:
Five-O is a mobile application created by three African-American siblings from Georgia, USA. The three, Ima, Asha, and Caleb Christian, aged 16, 15, and 14 respectively, in 2014, created the application as an attempt to provide a solution to the issues generated from interaction between law enforcement and citizens, such as the shooting of Michael Brown, and their own traumatic experience with two police officers. The application was launched on 18 August 2014. The application is available on both Android and iOS platforms, and has been developed in collaboration with Pinetart Inc., a company developing mobile applications they have founded. The term Five-O is American slang for law enforcement, based on Hawaii Five-O, a television programme.

The application allows a user to maintenance of records in the form of a short description of interaction with an individual police officer, and a rating of the degree of courtesy and professionalism exhibited by the officer. It allows a user to record his/her personal details such as race and age. Such a record would be available for access as when needed. The application would provide a record of positive interactions, such as that of officers saving a pet, this record could be used to identify positive prototypes that other officers would aim to emulate. The application also provides information about the civil rights of a citizen from American Civil Liberties Union. The application is available for download on Android devices and is pending approval from iStore.

Elahe Izadi blogging for The Washington Post describes the application as Yelp like, she states that the application demonstrates that the black community in America doesn't implicitly trust the police, quoting surveys that inform that 70 percent of black men perceive police discrimination with relation with respect to whites, or 25 percent of black males aged between 18 and 34 experienced abuse at the hands of the police. Fatima Mazhar writing for carbonated.tv considers this application as one of the positives that has come out of the Michael Brown shooting.

title: The Crags

text:
The Crags are a rock band based in Geneva, Switzerland, created in 2009. Their influences are mainly English-singing rock and pop music, going from vintage to actual sounding bands. The band is also known under its previous name "Drama" (2004–2009).

Members
 Sly Sullivan : Vocals, Guitar
 Phil Wyre : Hammond Organ
 Stan Galaad : Drums

Former members
 John Pash : Guitar, Vocal (2009–2013)
 Oscar Martensson : Bass (2009–2018)
 Bloody Matt Anderson : Guitar, Vocals (2013–2021)

History
Formed as Drama in 2004, the band published a first album in 2006 named A morning after..., from which one of its songs was spotted and regularly broadcast on local Swiss radio station Couleur 3. From that point, the band started gigging on regular bases, mainly in the French speaking part of Switzerland and nearby France.

In 2009, "Drama" became "The Crags" after a member change in the band and recorded a new twelve-song LP the same year. This new step was followed by numerous live performances, including the Montreux Jazz Festival 2010 (Music in the park), Rock en Stock 2010 Festival (Pas-de-Calais, Northern France), a gig in London, the 2011 Balélec Festival and also regular airplay on Swiss radio couleur 3, leading to a TV performance on musical program "Musicomax", on Swiss national television station RTS.

In 2012, the band published a new 4-song EP named Loola Loola ! on vinyl format. The downloadable version of this record became available in different ways through Bandcamp, iTunes, or Amazon MP3.

In June 2014, a new EP was recorded and published, The universal part of love which constituted the following up to the previous EP, under CD format this time. This one included the four songs of the Loola Loola record, completed with six new songs, recorded at Rec studios in Geneva, in April of the same year.

A musical video clip was shot on that occasion for the song "barrel of a gun"; a single which also got regular airplay on Swiss radio stations once the CD was released. The publicizing of this new record led to a series of concerts, including festivals, such as Caribana Festival (whom which the band shared the bill that evening with bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Miles Kane, Kodaline) and the Mardisablés Festival.

During the writing process of a new album, a new song named "Please, sniff the air" was recorded in June 2015 and released at the end of August of the same year, along with its musical video clip on YouTube, for free via the usual musical platforms.

By the end of September 2017, the band released a new album, "Overgrown", which includes eleven new songs. This one is recorded in April of the same year and comes out as a 7" LP and CD. The outcome of the new record is simultaneously the start of the band's collaboration with Geneva's indie record label Urgence Disk, which also contributes to this publishing. Two singles from the new album, "Artefact" and "Frequency", were published the previous month on YouTube along with a musical clip. In order to promote the new record, the band will then play more than twenty live shows on a one year period, mainly in Switzerland, but also including a few gigs in Eastern Europe in their tour.

After a line-up change, the band became a trio and is, to this day, working on the writing of a new album, due to be published in the year of 2023.

title: Gullu Butt

text:
Gullu is the name of one of the vandals responsible for the violent nature of the altercation between police and Minhaj-ul-Quran workers in the 2014 Lahore clash. Initially blame for the violence was placed on the NGO workers. News footage then revealed an individual using a club to smash the windscreens of many parked vehicles; he was identified as Gullu Butt, an activist of the ruling PML-N against whom the PAT was protesting. According to several media reports Gullu Butt had been invited by the Punjab police to disrupt what had been a peaceful movement but PML-N's Saad Rafique then Federal Minister for Railways, announced that Gullu Butt did not have any connection with the government. He was arrested but released shortly after on bail; an incident that prompted heavy condemnation of the ruling party by the PAT and PTI.

The word Gullu associated from Gullu Butt has been given a meaning of "disruptive behavior of someone enjoying (good or bad) backing of the ruling/powerful segments of society". Syed Shamim Azam, a linguistic from Lahore wrote to Oxford Dictionary to add the word Gullu in their upcoming version of the dictionary which is going to be available in Pakistan and India.
On which the publishers replied back if “The term achieves enormous currency with a wide audience in a much shorter space of time, and people expect to find the new ‘high-profile’ word in their dictionaries, it sure is included in the dictionary".

Conviction
An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) sentenced Gullu Butt to 11 years in prison. The court also enforced a fine of Rs 100,000 on Butt. Butt's counsel said they would appeal the decision in the Lahore High Court (LHC), adding that his client did not commit an offence calling for such severe punishment.

title: Beatrice Hatch

text:
Beatrice Sheward Hatch (24 September 1866 – 20 December 1947) was an English muse of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll. She was one of a select few children that Dodgson photographed naked, therefore making Hatch the subject of much contemporary study and speculation. Photographs of Hatch still inspire artistic work in contemporary times.

Early life
Beatrice Sheward Hatch was born in 1866 to Edwin Hatch and Evelyn Hatch. Edwin Hatch was a theologian; author; a vice-principal of St. Mary Hall, Oxford; and later a university reader in Ecclesiastical history. Beatrice had two younger sisters, being Ethel and Evelyn, the latter presumably being named after her mother. She also had a brother named Arthur Herbert Hatch (b. 1864), who was House Prefect at his school, Malvern College. The Hatch family moved in "stimulating circles", including friendships with Edward Burne-Jones, Algernon Charles Swinburne and William Morris.

The family lived in a Gothic-style house built in 1867 on Banbury Road in Norham Gardens, North Oxford, England. The house was described as having "arched windows, a tower, and a turret complete with a statue niche towards the top." Neighborhood friends included Julia and Ethel Huxley, daughters of Thomas Henry Huxley and the aunts of Aldous Huxley. Other acquaintances in the neighbourhood who visited the Hatch family included Bonamy Price, Mark Pattison, and Benjamin Jowett.

Beatrice attended Oxford High School, Oxford, a day school for girls in Oxfordshire. While there, she acted in plays, as well as arranged texts for dramatic presentations.

Relationship with Dodgson

Beatrice, along with her sisters, were introduced to Dodgson through mutual acquaintances. Dodgson cultivated "the friendship of many little girls", often photographing them. Dodgson's friendships with these children focused on upper-middle-class families, making sure "he did not seek very low-class children as friends."

After their introduction, Beatrice was said to be "a long term favorite of Dodgson." Dodgson referred to Beatrice as "Bee" sometimes and started photographing her naked around the age of 5. These sessions were undertaken with the permission from Mrs. Hatch, who was in full knowledge of the activities. Modern writers have speculated at the relationship Dodgson had with the girls, but during that time period photographing young girls was seen as innocent and free from sexual connotations. The Hatch family would remain friends with Dodgson for over two decades until his death.

Beatrice acted in the stage play Much Ado About Nothing along with Dame Ellen Terry, both under the direction of Dodgson. Terry played the part of Beatrice, the niece of Leonato. Acting on the name similarities, Terry signed a photograph of herself and sent it to Beatrice, writing "From Beatrice to Beatrice."

Contemporary art
Dodgson's photograph of Beatrice has inspired artists in contemporary times. Polixeni Papapetrou photographed her daughter Olympia Nelson in the same position and style with a photograph called 'Olympia as Lewis Carroll's Beatrice Hatch before White Cliffs.' The photograph was featured on the July 2008 cover of Art Monthly Australia. Papapetrou was heavily criticised for the photograph, with some people calling it "pornographic". The police seized the photo of Olympia, along with other photos, from the gallery showing them in Sydney. After two weeks the photos were returned, but criticisms have been ongoing.

Later life
Upon their father's death, Beatrice and sisters Ethel and Evelyn were the beneficiaries of patronage from Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 5th Marquess of Salisbury.

Hatch wrote her memories of Dodgson when she was an adult, as did other "child friends" Ethel Arnold and Ethel Rowel.

title: Head-in-pillow defect

text:
In the assembly of integrated circuit packages to printed circuit boards, a head-in-pillow defect (HIP or HNP) is a failure of the soldering process. For example, in the case of a ball grid array (BGA) package, the pre-deposited solder ball on the package and the solder paste applied to the circuit board may both melt, but the melted solder does not join.  A cross-section through the failed joint shows a distinct boundary between the solder ball on the part and the solder paste on the circuit board, rather like a section through a head resting on a pillow.

The defect can be caused by surface oxidation or poor wetting of the solder, or by distortion of the integrated circuit package or circuit board by the heat of the soldering process.  This is particularly a concern when using lead-free solder, which requires higher processing temperature.

Since the warping of the circuit board or integrated circuit may disappear when the board cools, an intermittent fault may be created.  Diagnosis of head-in-pillow defects may require use of X-rays or EOTPR (Electro Optical Terahertz Pulse Reflectometry), since the solder joints are hidden between the integrated circuit package and the printed circuit board.

title: Eva (sternwheeler)

text:
Eva was a sternwheel steamboat that was operated on the Umpqua River on the Oregon coast in the early part of the 1900s.  Eva was notable for long service on a short route of about 20 miles.  Eva was also notable for having been used by one of its owners to illegally transport dynamite on a passenger-carrying vessel, by the ruse of labeling the dynamite boxes as "bacon."

Construction
Eva was built in 1894 at Portland, Oregon.  Following construction, Eva was brought under tow, with a load of flour on board, from Portland to Gardiner, Oregon, where the engines were installed.

Eva was   long, with a beam of   and  depth of hold.  Eva  measured out at 130.57 gross tons and 66.67 net tons.  The boat's draft was . The official U.S. merchant vessel registration number was 136459.  The port of registry was Coos Bay, Oregon.

Eva was powered by twin steam engines, horizontally mounted, driving a sternwheel.  The engines generated 80 nominal horsepower.

Ownership and personnel
Eva was owned by the Umpqua River Steam Navigation Company, of which Oscar B. Hinsdale (1867–1918) was a principal, as was W.F. Jewett.  Hinsdale was  a businessman and a prominent citizen of Gardiner, Oregon, who was also connected with the Gardiner Mill Company.   Capt. N.J. Cornwall (b.1855) was also interested in the navigation company and as of 1895 was also in command of Eva.

Capt. "Jimmy" Smith had been a well-known and popular master of Eva.  Of Smith, it was reported that he "always insisted on getting everything that was coming to the company."

Starting in about 1898, Frank Sagabird was the engineer of the Eva and held that position until the boat was retired from active service in April 1916.  His brother Capt. Henry Sagabird was also a master of Eva for over ten years, starting in about 1906 and continuing, like his brother, until the boat was withdrawn from service.

Route

From 1876 to 1916, the Drain-Coos Bay stage line provided for travellers from Drain, Oregon to proceed by stage coach to Scottsburg, where they would meet a steamboat to proceed down the Umpqua river.  Eva and other steamboats on the river provided an important link in the line by providing riverine service between Scottsburg and Gardiner, Oregon.

For travellers going to or coming from Coos Bay, Eva made a run from Gardiner to a beach near Winchester Bay, close to the mouth of the Umpqua river on the south side, where another stage route ran south towards Coos Bay along the beach.  It was reportedly either 17.5 or 20 miles on the water from Scottsburg to Gardiner.  It was a further nine miles from Gardiner to the south beach.

The stages were run by the Drain-Coos Bay Stage Company, which had been organized by the same people as the navigation company, that is, Capt. N.J. Cornwall, W.P. Jewett, and O.B. Hinsdale.

Operations

Once at Winchester, passengers from Eva could take a stage coach from Gardiner on to Coos Bay, although by 1915, the beach stage coach had been replaced with an "auto stage."

During the year 1896, Eva carried 2,600 passengers and 1,000 tons of freight.  Passenger traffic declined for Eva in the 1898 fiscal year, with the boat carrying 2,050 passengers.  Freight traffic was up however to 1,500 tons carried.

A few days prior to July 17, 1900, Eva was transporting a circus from Australia.  The circus had come up the coast from California by wagon to Gardiner, Oregon.  At Gardiner, the circus was loaded onto a scow, and then towed upriver by the steamer Eva.  On board the scow were three men, eight horses, four wagons, a tent, and much circus equipment.  After a few miles, the scow suddenly sank in  of water.  The men and five horses survived, but all the rest went down with the scow.  Part of the circus property and a span of mules were on board Eva, and these were taken back to Gardiner to regroup.

In the week of June 16, 1903, Eva was hauled out on a mud flat for repairs.  During this time, Eva place on the run up the Umpqua River to Scottsburg was taken by the steamer Juno.

On August 27, 1903, it was reported that a delay in delivery of a cylinder for Eva had required Juno to work double service on the Scottsburg run for the previous two weeks.

During the year 1904, Eva carried 5,847 passengers and 2,500 tons of freight.

On April 9, 1908, near Scottsburg, Eva hit a snag and sank.  Eva was carrying mail and passengers at the time.  The boat was beached. Everyone on board was able to get off.  Passengers and mail were transferred to another vessel.  Eva was to be raised and then brought to Gardiner for repairs.

A new boiler was installed in Eva on May 29, 1910, and that day Hinsdale was in Gardiner to inspect the boat.

Dynamite transported as "bacon"
Oscar Hinsdale, one of the owners of Eva, also owned a general store, which sold dynamite for stump-blasting purposes.  Although regulations forbade the carrying of dynamite on passenger steamers, Hinsdale had boxes of dynamite relabeled "bacon" and shipped them to his store's customers on Eva.  An informant alerted authorities to this, and Hinsdale was arrested in November 1909, at which time he "vehemently denied" having anything to do with shipping dynamite on the Eva.  Hinsdale however pleaded guilty on October 7, 1910, in United States District Court, and was fined $50.  Half of the fine was to go to the informant.  This was the first such prosecution on the west coast, and it attracted national attention.

Grounded at mouth of the Umpqua river
On November 15, 1915, it was reported that when Eva was transporting passengers across the Umpqua river, from one beach to another, the boat became caught in the tide near the mouth of the river.  The current was running very strongly on the south beach, it picked up Eva, made the boat unmanageable, and carried the vessel across to the north spit, where the boat was grounded at about 4:30 in the afternoon.  Eva blew the steam whistle to signal for help, and the crew of the Umpqua River Coast Guard Station responded, taking the passengers off the boat and back to the station.

Eva was on the spit, it was reported, until 7:30 in the evening or until the tide came in sufficiently to float the boat.  Once off the spit, it was still not clear whether the boat had been damaged, so a call was made to the Tidley Addeley, a Southern Pacific tugboat, to come downriver from Gardiner to render assistance if needed.  There turned out to be no damage to Eva.  It was said at the time that it was fortunate that Eva had grounded on the north spit, because otherwise the strong current would have carried the boat across the bar and into the ocean, where she would have wrecked, as she was not built for rough seas.

Disposition
In April 1916, the rail line from Reedsport to Coos Bay was completed.  There was no longer any economic demand for the steamboat service that Eva provided.  Eva was last reported to have been used for passenger service, a special excursion, on October 10, 1916.

In the week of September 14, 1917, the Umpqua River Steam Navigation Company formally surrendered Eva license, and sold the boat to the Umpqua Improvement Company, which began the process of dismantling Eva and converting the vessel into a scow.

The Chinese Economy: Transitions and Growth is a nonfiction 520+ page book written by Barry Naughton and is published by the MIT Press, originally in 2007. The book is accessible for the general reader and can be used as a college level course textbook for undergraduate and graduate studies. It is a methodical and historically accurate English language account of the decades-long market-based reorganization of the Chinese economy since its beginnings in 1978.

Overview
The first three chapters briefly discuss China's geography, the Chinese economy before 1949, the socialist centrally planned command structure from 1949 to 1978, and a short analysis of the Chinese economic reform period that began in 1978. Then, beginning with Chapter 4, topics are narrowly defined by economic sector and discussed in greater detail. However, the book is meant to be only an introduction to the topics covered.

Part II covers changes in GDP including graphs and statistics, and also covers people's place in the economy, such as human capital in education and the labor force, income inequality, and poverty. Part III focuses on the rural Chinese economy since 1978, including its organization and the impact of technology. Part IV focuses on the urban economy and its changes over time. Part V and VI covers China's interrelationship with the world economy.

title: John Bruhin

text:
John Glenn Bruhin (December 9, 1964 – March 31, 2022) was an American football guard who played four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. Bruhin was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fourth round of the 1988 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Tennessee and high school football at Powell High School in Powell, Tennessee.

After redshirting in 1983 at Tennessee, Bruhin spent most of the 1984 season as a reserve behind All-American Bill Mayo.  By the 1985 season, he was a starter on a line that featured future NFL players Bruce Wilkerson, Harry Galbreath, and David Douglas, and delivered a "stellar blocking performance" in the 1986 Sugar Bowl.  In spite of a knee injury, he appeared in 11 games in 1986, and played in all 12 games in 1987.

Bruhin appeared in all sixteen games for Tampa Bay during his rookie season in 1988.  He had worked his way into the starting lineup by 1989, but suffered a knee injury in the seventh game of the season, and missed several games.  He started several games for the Bucs during the 1990 season, alternating at left guard with Tom McHale. He continued alternating the starting spot with right guard Ian Beckles and Tom McHale during the 1991 season.  Bruhin signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in March 1992, but was waived just before the start of the season. He died on March 31, 2022, at the age of 57.

title: Cryptozookeeper

text:
Cryptozookeeper is an interactive fiction game written and self-published by American developer Robb Sherwin in 2011. Cryptozookeeper was written in the cross-platform language Hugo and runs on Windows, Macintosh OS-X, and Linux computers. Cryptozookeeper was released under a Creative Commons license and contains more than 12 hours of game play.

Cryptozookeeper combines both traditional elements of story-based interactive fiction while adding in fighting elements. In the game, players assume the character of William Ezekiel Vest and must splice together DNA samples to form a stable of fighting cryptids, all while solving puzzles in the off-kilter town of Christmas City. In an interview with BlueRenga, Sherwin described the game as "a game that lets the player assemble various DNA snippets that they pulled out in a Zork-style treasure hunt, into the various monsters of legend and cryptozoology. At the same time, I am hoping to have character interaction in the game that makes it familiar to people that have played some of my other wares."

Gameplay
Cryptozookeeper is a "character-driven graphical text adventure"  that requires players to enter text commands such as "go north" or "unlock door" to interact with the game. In addition to talking with the game's multiple non-player characters, players can also "Scan" the environment to obtain additional hints and information about their environment.

A large part of game involves collecting DNA samples and creating cryptids. The game includes 60 unique cryptids that can be created and trained for fighting.

Releases
Cryptozookeeper was released as a free download under the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported license. The large (500 megabyte) game can be downloaded for free from multiple sources including the Internet Archive.

Additionally, for a limited time the game was available in a physical two-disc package that contained the following:

 A DVD containing:
 A copy of the game
 a Kindle-formatted foreword by Alex Gray
 a game prologue story by Robb Sherwin.

Reviews

In his review of the game, Rock, Paper, Shotgun writer Adam Smith called Cryptozookeeper "genuinely funny, creepy and clever."

Interactive fiction author and blogger Rob O'Hara referred to Christmas City (the game's setting) as "part-nightmare, part-dark comedy" and described it as a place where "the X-Files meets Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 3." In reference to the game's writing, O'Hara writes: "Like all of Robb Sherwin’s games, the world of and characters within Christmas City are a conglomeration of pop culture references and technobabble. Sherwin entertains as earnestly as he offends. There are jokes about baseball and stigmata and trolls who edit Wikipedia entries. Not every joke sticks and I doubt everyone will get all the references (I know I missed some), but the ones I did get made me laugh. As with his previous games, Sherwin’s strong suit continues to be his writing [...] From the text to the puzzles, Cryptozookeeper is a challenging game. It’s a game that engages players on multiple cylinders. I’m guessing the subject matter, language, and puzzles may not strike a nerve with all IF gamers, but for the ones it does, Cryptozookeeper is a guaranteed good time."

Interactive Friction writer SnowBlood said Sherwin's "worlds are dark and unpleasant, yet filled with humor at every turn. His characters feel alive, with a sense that they continue to lead their lives both before and after the events in the game. It feels unlike any other text adventure, as if Sherwin has developed the game while remaining totally isolated from the modern "interactive fiction" community. This means that, for once, you are not a lonely NPC, wandering around an empty unpopulated world, finding scraps of "diaries" to uncover the backstory (because of your amnesia, natch). From the outset, you are meeting PCs, having long conversations (through a somewhat clumsy keyword-based conversation system), and many of these guys will actually join you, accompanying you for long swathes of the adventure. What's more, these characters are pretty dynamic, reacting to, and speaking about, your actions and the events going on around them. This isn't like dumb chatbots, spouting "quips" randomly and irrelevantly, this is actual conversation. Neither is it a glorified "hint system", nobody is talking about how you should be using the green key on the green door, they are far more likely to be insulting each other or the player-character. Yes, these are characters who are not necessarily "united by a common goal", but actually have antagonism towards each other. How often have you ever seen things like this in a text adventure game? It's the total opposite of the prevalent mode of "PC-Centred" game design, i.e. the world is a static toybox that only comes to life in the presence of the PC, the story progresses only through the action of the PC, and, like Zaphod Beeblebrox, the world only exists for the convenience of the PC. Sure, CRYPTOZOOKEEPER still follows this mode deep underneath, but it does a great job, better than any other text adventure I can think of, at hiding it on the surface."

SuperVerbose writer Paul O'Brian called Cryptozookeeper "the most Sherwin-esque Sherwin game I’ve yet seen. It’s gonzo, it’s funny, it’s extreme, and it’s shambolic, and it’s all these things to the most highly refined degree I’ve ever seen Robb accomplish, which means it’s all these things to the most highly refined degree I’ve ever seen anyone accomplish."

Awards

In 2011, Cryptozookeeper won the following 5 categories in the XYZZY Awards:

 Best Game
 Best Writing
 Best Setting
 Best NPCs
 Best Individual NPC (Grimloft)

Cryptozookeper was also a finalist in the Best Story category.

In 2010, Cryptozookeeper won second place at IntroComp.

title: Foreign legal opinion

text:
A foreign legal opinion (or foreign law opinion) is an opinion of a law firm issued in cross-border commercial transactions certifying the effectiveness of the transaction under the applicable foreign law.   Foreign legal opinions have become highly standardised over time, and most foreign legal opinions follow a fairly regimented format.  The issuance of such opinions has become something of a sub-legal specialisation in itself, and books and articles are written on the subject of foreign legal opinions.  A number of organisations issue template format opinions to indicate issues which are intended to be covered by such opinions, or standard form checklists for contents.

Purpose

The original purpose of foreign legal opinion is grounded in the historical doctrine of ultra vires.  The concern was that when doing business with a corporation formed in a foreign country, proper due diligence required that a legal opinion be sought to ensure that the relevant foreign company had the necessary capacity and power to enter into the transaction, and that it would be binding upon it.  Over time opinions expanded to cover related aspects of foreign law, such as whether payments might be subject to exchange controls or usury laws, whether it was necessary for any of the other parties to hold any licences or permits under the regulatory laws of the foreign country, whether there would be adverse tax consequences under the laws of the foreign country, whether foreign judgments were recognised and enforced in that country other collateral matters.

During the 1970s and 1980s with the expansions in cross-border lender by financial institutions, banks became increasingly concerned to ensure that foreign companies to whom they lent money provided a foreign legal opinion certifying the legal validity of the loan transaction and the enforceability of the banks' rights (including any security interests).  In time these requires came to be reflected in the Basel capital adequacy requirements for banks, resulting in different, more favourable, capital weighting for loans supported by opinions.

Format

Foreign legal opinions are now highly standardised.  Typically such opinions will confirm the jurisdiction which they relate to, confirm the documents that they reviewed, list certain assumptions of fact, and then set out various opinion statements.  After the opinion statements, they will typically make certain standard, generally applicable qualifications.

The opinion will ordinarily state the conclusions of law, but will not provide reasoning.  This reflects the role of the foreign law opinion as a risk assessment tool.  The opinion is normally issued in the format of an unqualified favourable statement of the effectiveness of the transaction (hedged in by appropriate assumptions of fact and general qualifications of law).  Where there are areas of legal uncertainty, or issues which require clarification and analysis, the foreign legal opinion will often remain in the standardised format, but will be supplemented with a second, reasoned, opinion.  In cross border transactions the negotiation and discussion of the format of the foreign law opinions elucidates areas of legal stress or risk in relation to the proposed transaction and foreign legal systems.

Standard assumptions normally include assuming that documents and records reviewed by the law firm giving the opinion are accurate, that all copies they review are true copies, and that no provision of any other law (i.e. the laws of any country other than the country on whose laws the opinion is being given) adversely affects the opinion being expressed.  In certain countries it is also standard to assume the genuineness of signatures and seals, but in other countries the foreign law firm may be expected to verify the accuracy of such signatures.

The substantive opinion statements a foreign legal opinion will make will ordinarily include:
 that the relevant obligations be recognised as constituting valid and binding obligations of the foreign party;
 which person or organ has power on behalf of the foreign entity to enter into the transaction;
 the proper method of execution of documents by the foreign party;
 that the transaction does not breach the constitutional documents of the foreign entity, or the laws of the foreign country (and, sometimes, any agreements which are binding upon the foreign entity and its assets);
 that no approvals or licences are required in the foreign country in relation to the transaction;
 that the transaction documents are not subject to stamp duty or registration requirements in the foreign country;
 that no withholding or other taxes apply to the transaction in the foreign country;
 that the foreign entity does not have sovereign immunity under the laws of the foreign country;
 that there are no exchange control regulations in the foreign country which would affect the transaction;
 that the foreign entity is in good standing, and is not subject to winding-up or dissolution;
 to what extent judgments or arbitral awards from another country would be recognised and enforced in the foreign country (without re-examination of the merits);
 the efficacy of choice of law clauses and jurisdiction clauses in the foreign jurisdiction;
 whether any terms of the transaction contravene public policy in the foreign country; and
 whether any of the other parties to the transaction (other than the foreign entity) would be treated as carrying on business or subject to tax in the foreign country by entering into the transaction.

Standard qualifications are usually matters of general law which it is impractical to advise upon in the abstract, but which might undermine the effectiveness of the enforceability of the transaction.  For example most opinions will indicate that if the foreign party goes into bankruptcy that will limit the ability to enforce obligations against it.  Similarly, rights may be lost when statutory limitation periods expire.  In certain countries enforcement of obligations may be subject to obligations of good faith and fair dealing, and the foreign legal opinion will normally point this out by way of qualification.

Conflicts of laws
The foreign legal opinion will typically express opinions on various issues which might not ordinarily be governed by the laws of the foreign country under its own conflict of laws system.  Because a cross border transaction might end up being considered by the courts of any of a number of countries, the addressee(s) of the opinion will wish to be assured that all relevant issues, if determined by that foreign law, would likely be resolved satisfactorily.  The courts of a third country may apply different choice of law rules to determine the lex causae of a particular issue to the courts of the foreign country.

title: Can't Get the Best of Me

text:
"Can't Get the Best of Me" is a song by American hip hop group Cypress Hill. The song was released as a single from the group's fifth studio album, Skull & Bones.

Track listing

Music video
The song's music video begins with a man in a locker room, lacing up his boots. The camera pans out to reveal a crowd of people in the room with him, who go into a factory for a fight. Another man is a bathroom alone getting ready for a fight, before he punches a mirror. The two men begin to fight while the crowd forms a circle pit around them. Many people are carried off from the fight, bloody and bruised. The two men return to the ring, standing back to back in the center of the crowd. Two other men join them before Sen Dog gives them a thumbs down and the crowd attacks them. The crowd engulfs the men, carrying two of them away and jumping the other two. The video ends with the same man at the video's start, sitting in the locker room and looking over his scars.

Chart positions

Notes

A  "Can't Get the Best of Me" and "Highlife" were released together as a double A-side in the United Kingdom.

title: Greasy Grapes

text:
Greasy Grapes is a rock & roll band formed in 2006 by Antonio Romero (guitar), Leo Laya (vocals), Alberto Márquez (bass) and Rafael Márquez (drums) in Caracas and mostly influenced by Southern Rock bands from the Deep South of the US. They have been labeled by Al Borde, a leading cutting edge Latin Alternative media company in United States as "Southern Rock bastard seeds planted at Caribbean shores".

History
Their work is deeply influenced by American traditional music and through the years they have archived the respect of legendary southern rock musicians like Henry Paul (The Outlaws) and Barry Dunaway (Pat Travers, Yngwie Malmsteen, Foghat). After years of touring in their native Venezuela they received an invitation to participate at the CBGB Fest 2013 in New York City as the only southern rock band in the festival lineup in spite of not being Americans and where they shared the stage with renowned artist like Ginger Baker (Cream), Lisa Loeb, Jakob Dylan, My Morning Jacket among many others, which finally resulted in its relocation to the US.

Greasy Grapes has released three albums in a totally independent fashion Lengua Madre EP (2013), Headed South (2012) and At the Back of the Hill (2009). All three album are deeply rooted in a vintage vibe and an eclectic blend of rock, soul, blues and country sounds. The first two albums were recorded by Francisco Domingo at True Digital Studios and Taller de Arte Sonoro. They have worked with Grammy Awarded and Grammy nominee artists like Bob Katz, Erik Aldrey and Mauricio Arcas a.k.a. Maurimix from Los Amigos Invisibles.

Since the release of their debut album "At the Back of the Hill" in 2009 Greasy Grapes has captivated the attention of fans as genuine performers of the Southern Rock genre not only in their native Venezuela but in places like United States, Japan, Italy, and Germany.

title: Acts 3

text:
Acts 3 is the third chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book containing this chapter is anonymous but early Christian tradition affirmed that Luke composed this book as well as the Gospel of Luke. This chapter records the healing of a disabled person by the apostles Peter and John, and Peter's preaching at Solomon's Porch in the Second Temple.

Text
The original text was written in Koine Greek and is divided into 26 verses.

Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
 Papyrus 91 (3rd century; extant verses 1–2)
 Codex Vaticanus (325–350)
 Codex Sinaiticus (330–360)
 Codex Bezae (~400)
 Codex Alexandrinus (400–440)
 Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (~450)
 Codex Laudianus (~550)

Old Testament references

A lame man healed (3:1–10)
This section gives one detailed account as an example of Luke's earlier note that "the 'apostolic band' has the power to work miracles" ().

Verse 2
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple.

The temple in Jerusalem had several gates, but it is not clear which one might have been called Beautiful. No ancient source mentions the Beautiful Gate, but the Nicanor Gate is probably the best guess. Traditionally the gate is identified with the Shushan Gate but, according to C. K. Barrett, that gate was not a suitable location for a beggar.

Verse 6
Then Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk".
The healing of the lame man in this chapter is the inspiration of some songs. One such example is the children's song "Silver and Gold Have I None".

No other name (3:11–26)
These verses record Peter's second speech (after Acts 2), which addresses the same two questions as his first: 'What does this mean?' (cf. 2:12) and 'What shall we do?' (cf. 2:37).

Verse 17

"Ignorance": this is said as one of the "mitigating factors" of rejecting the Messiah; a mistake of both the crowd (whom Peter called 'brethren') and the rulers.

Verses 22–23

Cited from , linked with , the prophecy contains the term "prophet like [Moses]" as a "biblical typology".

Verse 26

"To you first": The offer of blessing from God is universal, but is first offered to the people of Israel; this is also Paul's message (cf. ).

title: Hazhenia

text:
Hazhenia is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids from the Early Triassic of China, of which Hazhenia concava is the only species. Hazhenia was named in 1981 from the Heshanggou Formation in the Ordos Desert of Inner Mongolia. It lived during the Olenekian Age of the Early Triassic, about 247 million years ago. Hazhenia belongs to a group of therocephalians called Baurioidea and possesses many mammal-like features such as cusped teeth and a secondary palate, both of which evolved independently in baurioids. Within Baurioidea it is most closely related to the genus Ordosiodon, which is also known from Inner Mongolia but comes from the slightly younger Ermaying Formation. Both genera were once placed in the family Ordosiidae, but as the name is preoccupied by a family of Cambrian trilobites, it is no longer valid.

Hazhenia is known from a single skull that was discovered by a group from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in 1977, a year after the discovery of the first Ordosiodon remains. Both were initially classified as members of Scaloposauria, a group of small-sized therocephalians now regarded as a paraphyletic assemblage of basal baurioids. A phylogenetic analysis of therocephalians published in 2014 found Hazhenia and Ordosiodon to be each other's closest relatives, and placed both in a derived position within Baurioidea, close to the family Bauriidae. Below is a cladogram from that analysis:

title: Museo Casa de Rogelio Yrurtia

text:
The Museo Casa de Rogelio Yrurtia was the home of the sculptor Rogelio Yrurtia and is located in the Belgrano district of Buenos Aires.

History
In 1942, by law 12.824, sculptor Rogelio Yrurtia and his wife, the painter Lia Correa Morales (1893-1975), transferred his home and its assets to the government. It opened to the public as a museum in 1949.

In 1923, the house was awarded a municipal architecture prize. The style chosen by Yrurtia was, according to the neo-colonial appreciation of the Hispanic tradition, popular among the intellectuals of the time.

The works of art collected by Yrurtia along his travels resulted in a varied and diverse collection, all of them displayed in different rooms of the house, together with the works of the master and his wife: sculptures, bronze portraits, sketches and studies for his major works. Among the paintings are works by Martín Malharro, Eduardo Sívori, Ángel Della Valle and Benito Quinquela Martín, highlighting an early work of Pablo Picasso that Yrurtia acquired in Paris.

The collection also includes rugs, carpets, ceramics as well as household items (cups, plates, kettles, soup, candles, etc.) from Europe and Asia.

The furnishings are of different styles and origins: British Empire, French and Flemish Renaissance, which predominates.

title: Drybar

text:
Drybar is a California-based chain of salons that provides a hair styling service known as blowouts. The company was founded in 2010 by Alli Webb.

History

In 2009, Alli Webb began a side business called Straight At Home, which provided an at-home hair experience. As demand quickly outgrew the one-woman operation, Webb noticed a "huge hole" in her local market for a business that provided solely hair blowouts, a concept that had already gained traction in larger cities such as New York City with brands like "Blo". In 2010, along with her brother Michael Landau, Alli co-founded Drybar. The following year, along with the help of friends, she raised $2.5 million to expand the business. They added Castanea Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm, to their list of investors in January 2012. Laura Mercier Cosmetics founder and former CEO Janet Gurwitch joined the company's board, as well Paul Pressler, the former president and CEO of Gap the same year.

In 2019, the American consumer goods corporation Helen of Troy acquired the Drybar trademark for $255 million in cash. In 2021, WellBiz Brands, Inc. acquired the Drybar shops' franchise rights.

Style of business
Everything at Drybar is referenced using the “bar vernacular”. The cashiers are called “bartenders” and hairstyles are named after cocktails, such as the Cosmo, Mai Tai, or Manhattan. The idea behind this came from Webb. Webb’s vision is present in the designs of architect Josh Heitler. Heitler, principal of a boutique architectural firm and now a partner in the company, came up with the design elements and look of Drybar. Instead of the typical salon setup, clients at Drybar “sit facing a U-shaped or single-stretch bar, with their backs to the mirrors,” which brings to mind sitting at a bar rather than being at a salon. The bars have flat-screen televisions that generally screen chick-flick movies. Aesthetically, all Drybars look roughly the same.

Locations

Drybar revenue grew from $1.5 million in 2010 to $19 million in 2012 and to $39 million in 2013. As of January 2016, Drybar had 66 locations in 11 states, Washington DC and Vancouver, British Columbia. As of November 2017, the number of locations had expanded to almost 90. As of October 2018, the company has over 100 locations and 3000 employees.

Products

Looking to increase revenue, Webb (along with the help of Board member and investor Janet Gurwitch) developed a line of products specifically for Drybar.

In 2013, after testing the line in about 70 Sephora locations, Drybar went ahead with 300+ Sephora shops and QVC to launch their line of products.

The motto of Drybar is "No cuts. No color. Just wash & blowouts." which is a reference to their primary service offering.

title: Edward M. Yerger

text:
Edward M. Yerger (1828 – April 22, 1875) was an American newspaper editor and military officer. After a career in the newspaper industry, Yerger was arrested for the stabbing death of the provisional mayor of Jackson, Mississippi. His claim of habeas corpus after he was arrested by military authorities was appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court in Ex parte Yerger, a case tried before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Early life and education
Yerger was born in 1828 in Nashville, Tennessee, the youngest son of Tennessee Attorney General George Shall Yerger. Edward and his family eventually relocated to Mississippi. Yerger graduated from Oakland College and served as a colonel in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.

Career
Yerger edited several newspapers, including the Jackson Daily Mississippian, the Jackson Daily News, the Vicksburg Herald, and the Baltimore Evening Journal. On April 6, 1867, while on the staff of Daily Mississippian, he engaged in a duel with I.M. Patridge of the Herald. Yerger had taken offense to an article that appeared in the latter paper, disparaging the Mississippian. Yerger was also involved in conflicts with Colonel Manlove of the Vicksburg Times and Major Barksdale of the Jackson Clarion. Yerger was later employed by the Vicksburg Herald. He announced his resignation from the staff of the Herald on January 28, 1868. Yerger was described by a historian as "mentally unsound".

Murder of Joseph G. Crane
In 1869, Major Joseph G. Crane became acting mayor of Jackson, Mississippi by military appointment. Yerger, a resident of Jackson, had refused to pay his taxes in 1867 and 1868. In order to collect the money Yerger owed, Crane seized Yerger's piano to sell at auction. At the time. Yerger was out of town and unable to prevent the seizure. He returned home on June 8, and confronted Crane the next day. An argument ensued and Yerger stabbed Crane to death. Yerger was arrested and set to be tried by a military commission. He was represented by his uncle William Yerger, a former justice on the Mississippi Supreme Court, who sought a writ of habeas corpus from the circuit court. The resulting case, Ex parte Yerger, was heard by the Supreme Court of the United States. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase concluded that the court had jurisdiction to hear the case, which meant Yerger did not have to be tried by the military commission. The attorney general and William Yerger agreed that Yerger be turned over to civilian authorities for prosecution.

Yerger was never tried for murder, and, after a stint in a Mississippi jail, was released on bail and moved to Baltimore, Maryland.

Death
Yerger died in Baltimore, Maryland on April 22, 1875.
