title: Arthur Kinmond Bell

text:
Arthur Kinmond Bell, also known as AK Bell, (4 October 1868 – 16 April 1942) was a Scottish distiller, working as a partner of Arthur Bell & Sons Ltd, and as a philanthropist, founding the Gannochy Trust to help support the people of his home city of Perth.

Birth and family life
Born on 4 October 1868 at Moncreiffe Terrace, Craigie, Perth, Bell resided within Perth for much of his life. Educated first at Perth Academy, he later moved to Edinburgh continuing his studies at Craigmount School.

In 1899 Bell married Miss Camilla Bruce. The ceremony was conducted in her native city of Edinburgh, but with her in her late 30s at the time of the marriage, a life without children seemed probable. It has been speculated that this contributed to his desire to make a lasting mark, leading to his philanthropy.

Career
Bell joined the family business as a partner in 1895, following in the path of his father and grandfather. He quickly made his mark, and along with his brother, Robert, succeeded in doubling the company's profits before his father's death in 1900. At this time Bell, as the eldest son, became managing director, and continued to expand the business despite the setbacks of the Great Depression and Prohibition in the United States, becoming governor director in 1921 when the company became a limited company. This expansion was achieved in large part through the use of advertising and agents, many of whom were members of his extended family living throughout the empire, and included the friendly takeover of three distilleries between 1933 and 1936. By the time of Bell's death in 1942, the company's profits were in excess of £100,000 per annum.

Later in his life, Bell saved the Perth linen industry by financially backing the one remaining company, John Shields and Co. intervening at the request of the Lord Provost Robert Nimmo. The apparent and imminent closure of this company came as a shock to the local council, and the loss of 300 jobs would have been a blow to the city,. For his contribution Bell receiving the Freedom of Perth, and the workers of the company presented him with a parchment tribute as a thanks for his part in turning the company into a successful and growing enterprise. Following his purchase of the company, Bell reconstructed the firm and re-equipped it for artificial fibre production, helping to secure the business into the future.

Philanthropic activities

This quotation from Bell's acceptance of the Freedom of Perth sums up his approach to philanthropy, and how as a beneficiary of the then booming Scotch whisky trade, Bell prospered and was able to look to benefit his home city. His first major project in this direction was the building of the Gannochy Housing Estate between 1924 and 1932. This model housing scheme was intended to benefit the hardworking of a younger generation, who had survived the harshness of war and were now looking to better themselves, with many of the original tenancies being granted to workers of Bell & Sons.

His next major project was the establishment of the Gannochy Trust in 1937, founded partly to maintain the Gannochy estate and partly to ensure the continuing improvement of his native city into the future, even after his death.

After housing, the other major concern for post-war Perth was the supply of clean water, with the River Tay becoming increasingly polluted. In answer to this problem Bell provided shares in Bell's Whisky to the Gannochy Trust for the purpose of establishing Sewage treatment works for Perth and the surrounding villages, having previously commissioned a survey of what needed to be done to improve the situation in 1925. In total the trust was able to provide £640,000 towards the projects, with the one in Perth being completed in 1971.

Recognition

In contrast to many of his local contemporaries, such as John Dewar, 1st Baron Forteviot and Robert Pullar, Bell received comparatively few public honours for his philanthropic activities during his life. One distinction he did receive, on 18 March 1938, was the Freedom of Perth, which he described as his greatest honour. This honour was granted primarily for his role in saving John Shields and Co. rather than for any of his philanthropic activities, which appear to have been done quietly and gone without any major public awareness during his life, a fact he would likely have been grateful for.

In 1994, the decision was taken to name Perth's new multi-million-pound library the A. K. Bell Library in honour of the man who had played such a large part in the city's history and whose legacy has had such a large impact on the city. The library officially opened in 1995.

Death
Arthur Kinmond Bell died unexpectedly of illness on 26 April 1942. His will, though, proved him to be as generous in death as he was in life, gifting to three senior employees of Arthur Bell and Sons the sum of £5000, to all staff with ten years experience in the company, £500, and to his gardeners, chauffeurs, and servants in his employ for ten years or more, £200, all significant amounts for those who benefitted.

At the time of his death Bell was living in Kincarrathie House, Perth, with his wife. On her death in 1959, Camilla bequeathed the house to the Trust. The independent Kincarrathie Trust was set up in 1960, and now runs the house as a retirement home.

title: Pushihe Pumped Storage Power Station

text:
The Pushihe Pumped Storage Power Station () is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station located  northeast of Dandong in Kuandian County of Liaoning Province, China. It was constructed between August 2006 and September 2012. The power station operates by shifting water between an upper and lower reservoir to generate electricity. The lower reservoir was formed with the creation of the Pushihe Lower Dam on the Pushihe River, a tributary of the Yalu River. The Pushihe Upper Reservoir is located in a valley above the east side of the lower reservoir. During periods of low energy demand, such as at night, water is pumped from Pushihe Lower Reservoir up to the upper reservoir. When energy demand is high, the water is released back down to the lower reservoir but the pump turbines that pumped the water up now reverse mode and serve as generators to produce electricity. The process is repeated as necessary and the plant serves as a peaking power plant.

The lower reservoir, which was constructed between December 2006 and 2009, is created by a  tall and  long gravity dam on the Pushihe River. It can withhold up to  of water, of which  can be pumped to the upper reservoir. The upper reservoir is created by a  tall and  long concrete-face rock-fill dam. It was constructed between April 2007 and November 2009. It can withhold up to  of water, of which  can be used for power production. Water from the upper reservoir is sent to the 1,200 MW underground power station down near the lower reservoir through four  long headrace/penstock pipes. The drop in elevation between the upper and lower reservoir affords a hydraulic head (water drop) of .

title: Sample complexity

text:
The sample complexity of a machine learning algorithm represents the number of training-samples that it needs in order to successfully learn a target function.

More precisely, the sample complexity is the number of training-samples that we need to supply to the algorithm, so that the function returned by the algorithm is within an arbitrarily small error of the best possible function, with probability arbitrarily close to 1.

There are two variants of sample complexity:
 The weak variant fixes a particular input-output distribution;
 The strong variant takes the worst-case sample complexity over all input-output distributions.

The No free lunch theorem, discussed below, proves that, in general, the strong sample complexity is infinite, i.e. that there is no algorithm that can learn the globally-optimal target function using a finite number of training samples.

However, if we are only interested in a particular class of target functions (e.g, only linear functions) then the sample complexity is finite, and it depends linearly on the VC dimension on the class of target functions.

Definition
Let  be a space which we call the input space, and  be a space which we call the output space, and let  denote the product . For example, in the setting of binary classification,  is typically a finite-dimensional vector space and  is the set .

Fix a hypothesis space  of functions . A learning algorithm over  is a computable map from  to . In other words, it is an algorithm that takes as input a finite sequence of training samples and outputs a function from  to . Typical learning algorithms include empirical risk minimization, without or with Tikhonov regularization.

Fix a loss function , for example, the square loss , where . For a given distribution  on , the expected risk of a hypothesis (a function)  is

In our setting, we have , where  is a learning algorithm and  is a sequence of vectors which are all drawn independently from . Define the optimal riskSet , for each . Note that  is a random variable and depends on the random variable , which is drawn from the distribution . The algorithm  is called consistent if  probabilistically converges to . In other words, for all , there exists a positive integer , such that, for all , we have

The sample complexity of  is then the minimum  for which this holds, as a function of , and . We write the sample complexity as  to emphasize that this value of  depends on , and . If  is not consistent, then we set . If there exists an algorithm for which  is finite, then we say that the hypothesis space  is learnable.

In others words, the sample complexity  defines the rate of consistency of the algorithm: given a desired accuracy  and confidence , one needs to sample  data points to guarantee that the risk of the output function is within  of the best possible, with probability at least  .

In probably approximately correct (PAC) learning, one is concerned with whether the sample complexity is polynomial, that is, whether  is bounded by a polynomial in  and . If  is polynomial for some learning algorithm, then one says that the hypothesis space   is PAC-learnable. Note that this is a stronger notion than being learnable.

Unrestricted hypothesis space: infinite sample complexity

One can ask whether there exists a learning algorithm so that the sample complexity is finite in the strong sense, that is, there is a bound on the number of samples needed so that the algorithm can learn any distribution over the input-output space with a specified target error. More formally, one asks whether there exists a learning algorithm , such that, for all , there exists a positive integer  such that for all , we have

where , with  as above. The No Free Lunch Theorem says that without restrictions on the hypothesis space , this is not the case, i.e., there always exist "bad" distributions for which the sample complexity is arbitrarily large.

Thus, in order to make statements about the rate of convergence of the quantity

one must either
constrain the space of probability distributions , e.g. via a parametric approach, or
constrain the space of hypotheses , as in distribution-free approaches.

Restricted hypothesis space: finite sample-complexity
The latter approach leads to concepts such as VC dimension and Rademacher complexity which control the complexity of the space . A smaller hypothesis space introduces more bias into the inference process, meaning that  may be greater than the best possible risk in a larger space. However, by restricting the complexity of the hypothesis space it becomes possible for an algorithm to produce more uniformly consistent functions. This trade-off leads to the concept of regularization.

It is a theorem from VC theory that the following three statements are equivalent for a hypothesis space :
  is PAC-learnable.
 The VC dimension of  is finite.
  is a uniform Glivenko-Cantelli class.
This gives a way to prove that certain hypothesis spaces are PAC learnable, and by extension, learnable.

An example of a PAC-learnable hypothesis space
, and let  be the space of affine functions on , that is, functions of the form  for some . This is the linear classification with offset learning problem. Now, note that four coplanar points in a square cannot be shattered by any affine function, since no affine function can be positive on two diagonally opposite vertices and negative on the remaining two. Thus, the VC dimension of  is , so it is finite. It follows by the above characterization of PAC-learnable classes that  is PAC-learnable, and by extension, learnable.

Sample-complexity bounds

Suppose  is a class of binary functions (functions to ). Then,  is -PAC-learnable with a sample of size:

where  is the VC dimension of .
Moreover, any -PAC-learning algorithm for  must have sample-complexity:

Thus, the sample-complexity is a linear function of the VC dimension of the hypothesis space.

Suppose  is a class of real-valued functions with range in . Then,  is -PAC-learnable with a sample of size:

where  is Pollard's pseudo-dimension of .

Other Settings
In addition to the supervised learning setting, sample complexity is relevant to semi-supervised learning problems including active learning, where the algorithm can ask for labels to specifically chosen inputs in order to reduce the cost of obtaining many labels. The concept of sample complexity also shows up in reinforcement learning, online learning, and unsupervised algorithms, e.g. for dictionary learning.

Efficiency in robotics
A high sample complexity means, that many calculations are needed for running a Monte Carlo tree search. Its equal to a model free brute force search in the state space. In contrast, a high efficiency algorithm has a low sample complexity. Possible techniques for reducing the sample complexity are metric learning and model based reinforcement learning.

title: Euphoberiidae

text:
Euphoberiidae is an extinct family of archipolypodan millipedes known from the Upper Pennsylvanian of Europe and North America. The family includes relatively large millipedes measuring up to  long bearing distinctive spines and were the dominant millipedes of the Pennsylvanian.

Description
Euphoberiids are characterized by sets of outward-pointing spines on each diplosegment (body ring), one pair extending laterally (to the sides), the other pair higher on the body.  At the base of each lateral spine is an ozopore, or defensive gland opening. Species of Acantherpestes and  Euphoberia have cylindrical bodies, while those of Myriacantherpestes are more flattened in appearance.

title: East Lound

text:
East Lound is a hamlet in the civil parish of Haxey in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately  to the north-west from the city and county town of Lincoln, and on Brackenhill Road within the parish of Haxey, a village less than  to the west. Owston Ferry on the River Trent is  to the east. East Lound forms part of the Isle of Axholme.

East Lound is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Lund", being a name for both the later East Lound and Graizelound, and under both the entry for Haxey and Owston Ferry in the hundred of Epworth. The lord of the manor following Domesday was Geoffrey of la Guerche, who was also Tenant-in-chief to King William I.

In 1855 East Lound occupations included fifteen farmers, two wheelwrights, and a shopkeeper who was also a shoemaker. By 1885 the number of farmers had reduced to twelve and there was only one wheelwright. In 1933 there were ten farmers and a smallholder, a seed grower, and one shop with two shopkeepers. A Primitive Methodist chapel was built at East Lound in 1862, and was closed in 1958.

title: Peter Adolf Hall

text:
Peter Adolf Hall, also known as PA Hall or Peter Adolphe Hall, (23 February 1739 in Borås – 15 May 1793 in Liège), was a Swedish-French artist who mainly devoted himself to miniature painting.

Early life
Hall was born to a merchant and magistrate in Borås, who was also a Member of Parliament, Petter Börjesson Hall (1707-1776) and Eva Margareta. Eva was an older cousin of the astronomer Pehr Wilhelm Wargentin. Together with his younger brother Birger Martin, Hall studied medicine and 'natural history' between 1753-55 at Uppsala University's medical faculty where Carl Linnaeus taught. In the following years, 1755–59, the brothers went on a period-style educational journey in Europe under the guidance of a teacher, Mr. Lars Brisman. In Berlin and Hamburg, Peter Adolf acquainted himself both with playing music and took a liking to the visual arts. To his father's chagrin, he started working in enamel and miniature painting instead of becoming a doctor.

Career
In May 1766 Hall began to work as an artist in Paris. Three years later, at the age of 30, he was elected to the French Academy of Fine Arts. He painted portraits of the Dauphin of France, the prospective Louis XVI, as of his two brothers, who also would ascend the throne eventually, after the Revolution and the Napoleonic period, namely, Louis XVIII and Charles X. Peter Adolf Hall was then appointed a court painter or Peintre du Roi et des Enfants de France. According to an account book kept by his wife, between the years 1782-87 Hall painted an average of 70 portraits a year, of nobilities in general and people from the fashionable society. His annual income was around 25,000 livres.

Family

On 23 April 1771 he married a merchant's daughter, Marie Adelaïde Gobin (1752-1832), in the newly built parish church of Saint-Louis at Versailles. They would in time have three daughters and a son. He encouraged his eldest daughter Adélaïde Victoire Hall's talent for visual arts, and played the flute with his second daughter, the musical Angélique Lucie Hall (1774-1819) who played the piano. His third daughter was named Adolphine Mélanie Isabelle Hall (1777-1852) and the fourth child was the son Gabriel Hippolyte Adolphe Hall (1780-1833).

Exile

Peter Adolf Hall was a strong supporter of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's ideology. Among those who visited his home on the Rue du Petit-Reposoir in Paris were not only the art world participants and patrons but also the Marquis of Lafayette. Hall was present at the Storming of the Bastille as a revolutionary officer. In 1791 he went into exile though and never reunited with his family in Paris ever again. His wife's inherited wealth was confiscated by the nation and a son-in-law married to the painter's first-born was torn to pieces by a mob six weeks after their wedding. Hall supported his family from abroad as best as he could, but died in Belgium a few years later.

Ryan de Vreede (born 1 September 1992) is a professional Dutch darts player. He plays in the Professional Darts Corporation events.

Career

PDC
De Vreede's first Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) event was the 2009 German Darts Championship where he lost 6–4 to Vincent van der Voort in the last 64. He entered Qualifying School in January 2013 in an attempt to play full-time in the PDC and almost succeeded in the third event as he reached the final round before being edged out 6–5 by Campbell Jackson. However, after all four days had been completed he had done enough to finish fifth on the Q School Order of Merit and earn a two-year tour card. In May he reached the quarter-finals of the World Youth Championship, but was beaten 6–3 by Arron Monk. De Vreede made his European Tour debut in 2014 at the Gibraltar Darts Trophy and was beaten 6–3 by Adam Hunt in the first round. He went one better at the European Darts Open by losing 6–1 to Kim Huybrechts in the second round. When Richie Burnett withdrew from the 2015 PDC World Darts Championship due to personal reasons, De Vreede received a place in the draw through the European Pro Tour Order of Merit. In his debut in the event, De Vreede played Dave Chisnall in the first round and was beaten 3–0, missing one set dart in the third.

BDO
In 2015 De Vreede won the BDO Munsterland Trophy after beating Wilco Vermeulen 8–3 in the final. He qualified for the 2016 BDO World Darts Championship as the 16th seed, and lost 3–2 to Larry Butler in the first round.

PDC
De Vreede quickly returned to the PDC in 2016 and qualified for the UK Open for the first time courtesy of one last 64 and one last 32 exits in the qualifiers. He beat Nathan Derry 6–3, Andrew Gilding 6–5 and Josh Payne 9–5 to reach the fourth round, where he was edged out 9–8 by Mensur Suljović. In the rest of the year he played in a combination of Challenge Tour and Development Tour tournaments and reached the quarter-finals of the third Development event, where he lost 4–1 to Rowby-John Rodriguez.

title: XHMZE-TDT

text:
XHMZE-TV is a television station in Zacatepec, Morelos. Broadcasting on virtual channel 22 (physical channel 21) from a transmitter located in the city proper, Canal 22 is owned by the municipality of Zacatepec.

History
On February 15, 1999, the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation awarded a permit for a non-commercial television station on channel 22 to the municipality. It was the first time a municipality had received a permit for a television station in Mexico and Latin America, and it also represented the second local public television station in the state of Morelos, after XHCMO-TV in Cuernavaca. The station had previously operated unlicensed on channel 17.

In 2011, the town council of Zacatepec authorized an outsourcing agreement under which the operations of channel 22 would be undertaken by a private venture, the Society for the Economic Development and Promotion of Investment in Municipalities (abbreviated as DEFIMEX). However, a change in municipal administration occurred in January 2013, and the new government immediately set out to cancel the agreement and retake control of the station, responding to concerns that a public resource should not be operated privately. In March 2013, the municipality bought a new transmitter for the station, as the old one had burned. However, legal action by DEFIMEX to the tune of millions of US dollars, as well as the discoveries that the station had been illegally tapping into CFE power facilities and that the structure had several deficiencies, had kept the station off the air.

XHMZE made a brief return on February 2, 2015 with a local news program, but the transmitter failed again. The station also confronts issues related to the recognition of the current municipal administration, as well as with the digital television transition and the associated applications and technical changes.

In mid-2015, XHMZE began broadcasting in digital on physical channel 21, with a formal launch on December 15. and it began branding as "Canal 22 Morelos" with a logo very similar to that of the national Canal 22, which is unrelated. XHMZE also carries XHCMO programming, which marks the first time that the state-owned cultural channel has been available in southern Morelos.

XHMZE is available on cable and satellite across the state of Morelos.

title: Leesburg Athletics

text:
The Leesburg Athletics was the final name of a professional minor league baseball team, based in Leesburg, Florida. The club was first formed in 1937 as the Leesburg Gondoliers, a Florida State League team that did not share an affiliation with a big-league club. From 1939–1941 the team became known as the Leesburg Anglers, who again were a non-affiliated minor league team. After not hosting a team from 1942–1945 the Anglers would return in 1946.

From 1947–1948 the team became the Leesburg Pirates, and were a Class-D affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1949 the Brooklyn Dodgers operated the team as the Leesburg Dodgers. They used four different managers as the Dodgers and went 37-97. 44-year-old Luke Hamlin, who managed for them, also pitched in eight games for them. From 1950–1952 they would again become an un-affiliated team known as the Leesburg Packers. In 1953 the team would change its name to the Leesburg Lakers but would remain independent of any affiliation. The team would go on hiatus for two seasons and would then emerge in 1956 as an affiliate of the Milwaukee Braves, known as the Leesburg Braves. They would remain that way until the end of the 1957 season. After that, they would become the Leesburg Orioles from 1960–1961 and were affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles. Again breaking for a few years the team would re-emerge for a final time, this time as the Leesburg A's from 1965–1968, they would be an affiliate of the Kansas City/Oakland A's during this stint.

The Leesburg teams won Florida State League championships in 1941 and 1966.

title: Grady O'Malley

text:
Vincent Grady O'Malley  (born April 25, 1948) is a retired American professional basketball forward and a long-serving assistant United States attorney.

He was the 214th overall selection in the 19th round by the Atlanta Hawks in the 1969 National Basketball Association draft. He played in 24 games in his NBA career, and averaged 2.1 points per game and 1.1 rebounds per game. He was waived by the Hawks on February 1, 1970 after the team acquired Walt Bellamy from the Detroit Pistons. Prior to playing in the NBA, he starred at Manhattan College. He was inducted into the Manhattan College Hall of Fame in 2007.

Following his brief stint in the NBA, O'Malley attended law school and is currently an assistant United States attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Education
O'Malley graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in political science from Manhattan College's College of Arts and Sciences in 1969. O'Malley graduated on the Dean's List. Following his year playing on the Atlanta Hawks, O'Malley attended Boston College School of Law in Newton, Massachusetts, where he worked with Professor Robert Berry to develop the nation's first sports law course. O'Malley obtained his Juris Doctor from Boston College School of Law in 1973.

Legal career
O'Malley began his long career in criminal prosecution and public service at the Bronx County District Attorney's office. He served as an assistant district attorney in the Bronx, N.Y. from 1973 to 1977.

In 1977, O'Malley began working at the U.S. Attorney's office for the District of New Jersey in Newark, N.J. as a special attorney in the Organized Crime Strike Force. He became an assistant United States attorney in 1990 when Attorney General Richard Thornburgh joined the strike forces with the U.S. Attorney's Office.

O'Malley tried his first case at the U.S. Attorney's office in March 1977 and since has tried well over 120 federal jury trials. O'Malley has had only three acquittals in his long tenure. The vast majority of O'Malley's trial work has been in the area of organized crime and labor racketeering. His first notable trial was the conviction of Hugo Germer, et al. in 1979, for the multimillion-dollar advanced fee scheme. Another significant conviction was that of James Paone, Secretary Treasurer of Local 863 Teamsters Union and Thomas Pecora, nephew of mob boss Tommy Pecora and General Manager of Federico Trucking, on two RICO counts, in 1982.

Most notably, O'Malley led the prosecution of the longest running federal criminal trial in U.S. history. In 1985, O'Malley filed two significant indictments. The first, an organized crime drug conspiracy by ten associates of crime boss Anthony Accetturo, U.S. v. DiNorscio, Cohen, et al., was tried in 1986 before the Honorable Maryanne Trump Barry and resulted in convictions of all eight defendants. Lead defendants, Giacomo "Jackie" DiNorscio and Gerald Cohen each received 30 year sentences. The second indictment filed in 1985 was a wide-ranging RICO indictment of 24 members of the Acceturo crime family. This trial began in the fall of 1986 and lasted 22 months until September 1988, surpassing the Southern District of New York "Pizza Connection" trial as the longest federal criminal trial in the nation's history. All 19 defendants in the trial were acquitted after the jury deliberated for 14 hours. Five years later in 2003, Michael Taccetta and Michael Perna, who of the lead defendants in the trial, pleaded guilty to jury tampering in the Accetturo trial, along with other violations. For the remaining two years of the 1980s, O'Malley continued to charge and convict many of the defendants who were acquitted during the Accetturo trial on other charges, eventually convicting every one of the acquitted defendants. This trial is the subject of the 2006 American film "Find Me Guilty," which was co-written and directed by Sidney Lumet and stars Vin Diesel.

During the 1990s, O'Malley shifted focus from traditional organized street crime cases to more union related fraud and corruption. Since this time, O'Malley has become widely regarded as a preeminent prosecutor of labor racketeering, employee benefit, and health care fraud. In 1995 he tried and convicted Joseph and Raymond LaBarck, President and Vice President of Local 1733 of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, for operating the union as a criminal enterprise and for using their positions to extort millions of dollars from at least a dozen employers in the printers and dyers industry. The conviction of the LaBarcks liberated an entire industry and, in conjunction with other convictions, earned O'Malley the first of his two Director's Awards in 1998.

Another of O'Malley's groundbreaking cases came in April 2000, when he tried the first federal computer sabotage case. In this case, Tim Lloyd was charged with planting a computer "time bomb" in the central file server of Omega Engineering's computer network while he was employed by Omega, and then detonating it after he was fired from the company. Next, in July 2006 O'Malley co-chaired the trial of Roger Duronio, who was convicted of securities and computer fraud after a six-week trial. Duronio was a disgruntled mid-level computer administrator for UBS, who released a "logic bomb" upon the bank's system and cause catastrophic damage to the company.

Resuming his focus upon union related corruption, O'Malley successfully convicted the entire executive board of Local 1588 of the International Longshoremen's Association, including organized crime associate Joseph Lore, of conspiracy to embezzle and the embezzlement of union funds. Next, O'Malley tried and convicted Joseph Nardone Sr. and Joseph Nardone Jr., the former and current presidents of Local 148 of the Novelty Production Workers Union, and others, for embezzling almost a million dollars through phony construction projects. This latter effort resulted in O'Malley's second Director's Award in 2005.

O'Malley was promoted to chief of the Organized Crime Strike Force in 2006 by Chris Christie and served in that position until 2010.

O'Malley also convicted an employer-subcontractor, and eight co-defendants, of conspiracy to extort wage kickbacks from employees on a federally funded construction project at Fort Dix in New Jersey, in violation of the Anti-Wage Kickback Act of 1934 or the "Copeland Act".  The investigation of this case also uncovered the attempted murder of the General Contractor's site manager for his hyper-vigilance of Sands Mechanical, which caused three co-defendants to travel from Pennsylvania to New Jersey in violation of the Travel Act to run him down while he was cycling. O'Malley was awarded the United States Department of Labor's Prosecutor of the Year Award for his work on this case in 2014.

More recently, O'Malley tried and convicted Richard Dressel, business manager for the Local 164 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union, for embezzling union and Employee Retirement Income Security Act fund monies and Paul Moe, Sr. of the International Longshoremen's Association for wire fraud charges in connection with his employment at APM Terminals in Elizabeth, N.J.

O'Malley continues to serve as senior litigation counsel at the U.S. Attorney's office in Newark, N.J. and is one of the longest serving federal prosecutors in the country.

title: Agnes of Baden, Countess of Holstein-Rendsburg

text:
Agnes of Baden (25 March 1408 – January 1473), was a German noblewoman member of the House of Zähringen and by marriage Countess of Holstein-Rendsburg.

She was a daughter of Bernard I, Margrave of Baden by his second wife Anna of Oettingen.

Life
In Ettlingen on 23 February 1432 she was betrothed to Gerhard VII, Count of Holstein-Rendsburg. Her older brother Jacob, new Margrave of Baden was very anxious for this marriage because he wanted to obtain political advantages in Schleswig. The marriage was celebrated in Baden on 2 June of that year, but Gerhard VII quickly returned to his domains in order to secure his frontiers without an official wedding night. Officially, the marriage was consummated only on 5 October.

On 15 January 1433 Agnes, pregnant at that time, fell from the stairs at Gottorf Castle. The next day she gave birth healthy twins, Henry and Catherine. This caused surprise and the scandal erupted, because it was clear that the consummation of the marriage and the date of birth were too close to produce living children.

To stop the increased rumours about his paternity, in February Gerhard VII declared in the courtyard of Gottorf Castle in front of his knights that he secretly slept with Agnes before the wedding, and that she'd been a virgin then; therefore, the children were his, and Henry would be capable of inheriting his possessions. In Schleswig Cathedral and in a State Assembly before the clergy and nobility Gerhard VII reaffirmed his word, who was further confirmed by court ladies, doctors and midwives. The matter was ultimately settled by the Bishops of Lübeck and Schleswig. The Count's brother Adolphus VIII supported his declaration. All the scandal received the name of the "Twin Disaster of Gottorf" (de: Zwillingssturz von Gottorf).

Gerhard VII suffered from a lung disease. Shortly after the declaration in Schleswig Cathedral, his condition worsened, and doctors are unable to help him. Against medical advice, Agnes and her husband travelled to a spa in her native Baden; however, in the middle of the trip, Gerhard VII became worse and in Cologne they decided to return. Gerhard VII died on 24 July 1433 during the return journey in Emmerich am Rhein. He was buried there.

During her return in Hamburg, Agnes received unexpected news: her brother-in-law Adolphus VIII refused her entry to Holstein, kidnapped her children and denied her rights as a widow, because her dowry was never paid and the recent scandal about the paternity of the twins. Without options, Agnes was forced to return to Baden. She never saw her children again: Henry was drowned in the Schlei River shortly after and Catherine entered in Preetz Priory as a nun. Both children were probably murdered.

Her brother Margrave Jacob of Baden at first strongly supported her rights; however, on 2 June 1436 she was secretly betrothed and married with Hans von Höwen, a former admirer. Margrave Jacob, who at that time was negotiated a new marriage for his sister with one of the sons of Piast Duke Konrad V of Oleśnica, was furious. By order of her brother, in 1437 Agnes was imprisoned for life in Eberstein Castle in Ebersteinburg, where she died blind in the first weeks of 1473.

title: Biographical museum

text:
A biographical museum is a museum dedicated to displaying items relating to the life of a single person or group of people, and it may also display the items collected by their subjects during their lifetimes. Some biographical museums are located in a house  or other site associated with the lives of their subjects, such as Casa Paoli Museum. Other examples of house-based biographical museums are Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, Quinta de Bolívar in Bogotá, Colombia, the Keats-Shelley Memorial House in Rome, Italy, and the Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu National Museum in Krujë, Albania.

Some homes of famous people house collections in the sphere of the owner's expertise or interests, in addition to collections of their biographical material. One such example is the Wellington Museum at Apsley House in London, home of the 1st Duke of Wellington, which, in addition to biographical memorabilia of the Duke of Wellington's life, also houses his collection of fine paintings. Other biographical museums, such as many of the American presidential libraries, are housed in specially constructed buildings.

title: Monument to the uprising of the people of Kordun and Banija

text:
The Monument to the Uprising of the People of Kordun and Banija (simply known as the Petrova Gora Monument) is a World War II monument built on Veliki Petrovac, the highest peak of Petrova Gora (), a mountain range in central Croatia. The site of the monument is shared between three municipalities: Gvozd and Topusko, in Sisak-Moslavina County and Vojnić, in Karlovac County.

The monument celebrates the uprising and resistance movement of the people of Kordun and Banija against Nazi fascism and commemorates the victims of Nazism, both civilian victims and fallen resistance fighters.

After the founding of the first partisan units in Kordun and Banija regions in the early summer of 1941, ethnic Serbs fought against Nazism and occupation. This region was also a founding site of the Main headquarters of the  People's Liberation Army of Croatia, the Partisan Hospital was active during the whole war and in 1944 the 3rd session of ZAVNOH was held in Topusko.

The author of the monument is a renowned Croatian sculptor Vojin Bakić. Construction of the monument was completed in 1981.

Work on the monument

After finishing the Monument to the Victory of the People of Slavonia, the largest postmodern sculpture in the world at the time of its opening, Bakić won the first prize for another major project in 1970, in the second round of competition. In the first competition, the first prize had been won by Igor Toš, but his project was canceled after conflicts around the concept of building the monument. The chairman of the board for the construction of the monument was Vladimir Bakarić. Monument construction lasted for a decade, until it was finally completed in 1981 and officially opened on 4 July 1982.

Monument description
The Monument is mostly architectural work, made of reinforced concrete and covered with slabs of stainless steel. The interior of the monument was laid out as a museum containing a permanent display related to the National Liberation Movement in Croatia, while its surroundings were designated as a recreational complex. By adding the museum, the monument received an educational exhibition function. At the top of the monument is a point from which one can view towards Slovenia, Bosnia and Zagreb.

Scholar Tonko Maroević notes that Bakić drew its inspiration from its sculpture sliced segments, by which he meant that it was Bakić's "step backwards", since the sculpture was his work from the mid-1970s. Already in the early 1980s Bakić felt fatigue in his work, so this is one of the reasons for seeing models in the earlier sculpture, Maroević concluded.

Devastation after 1991
According to curator of "Petrova Gora Memorial Park" Miloš Kresojević, after 1991 and beginning of the war antifascist monuments and memorial complexes were devastated and at that time anyone could take whatever they wanted from it. The complex was also used as the military headquarters of JNA and Serbian Army of Krajina, which also led to its devastation. This is visible on the walls of the complex which are full of Chetnik symbols, later replaced by Ustasha symbols and again corrected to Chetnik symbols.   Devastation of the monument continues to date as local people continue stripping the stainless steel plates off the monument. Despite protests by the Antifascist organizations, the local and state authorities both fail to take action against the perpetrators.

In addition, "Transmitters and Communications Ltd." set up a transmitter at the top of the monument, which further undermined its appearance.

Since 2004 the curatorial collective WHW plays an important role in the revitalization and care for the monument. WHW organized two exhibitions in 2007 and 2008 (in Graz and Zagreb) which emphasized the importance of Bakić's legacy. They also initiated the action "Petrova Gora: yesterday, tomorrow, how to think Petrova Gora" in 2013.

In popular culture
The monument appeared as the artwork of American and New Zealand rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra's debut self-titled album.

The monument also featured on the front sleeve of British synth-pop band Emile's Telegraphic Transmission Device's second studio album "Ambivalence in Motion". The lead singer Daniel Ian Williams had taken inspiration to use it on the sleeve art after a visit to Gateshead's Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, where it was on display during an exhibition entitled David Maljković: Sources in the Air during 15 March until 7 July in 2013.

The monument was featured in the New York's Museum of Modern Art exhibition exploring the architecture of the former Yugoslavia, "Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980," and it is considered at length in the accompanying volume of the same name.

The monument was used as a setting in season one of Tribes of Europa, a German sci-fi television series produced by Wiedemann & Berg Film Production.  The series was released in 2021. The deteriorating state of the monument contributes to the futuristic dystopian style of the series.

title: Super Soccer Stars

text:
Super Soccer Stars is an American youth soccer development program active in the metropolitan areas of New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Boston, Miami, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Austin, and Chicago. The organization was founded in 2000 by Argentine native Gustavo Szulansky, and is currently owned by Adam Geisler, CEO.

Overview
Gustavo Szulansky, a native of Argentina who moved to New York City in the 1980s, founded Super Soccer Stars in 2000. The impetus to establish the organization came the year before when Szulansky offered to assist with his seven-year-old son's youth soccer team and found that the children did not know the fundamentals of the sport. In his view, "the coaches and instructors lacked a sincere interest in their students and that kids were left unprepared to play in a real soccer game." He thought he "could do it better with more care, affection, and professionalism."

Today, the program annually holds 3,300 weekly classes in over 1,200 locations for over 140,000 boys and girls ages 12 months to 18 years old. Soccer Stars provides community-based soccer development in eleven states and Washington, D.C.. States include Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. In the New York metropolitan area alone, 10,000 players participate in the program weekly.

The company employs around 30 full-time staffers, and has over 300 coaches, many of whom work part-time. Super Soccer Stars's flagship facility in the Upper West Side of Manhattan has an indoor turf field.

Programs

Super Soccer Stars
Super Soccer Stars is the flagship program, with classes "based on age-specific curricula created by a combination of early childhood, soccer, and behavioral specialists."

Soccer Stars United
Super Soccer Stars Premier is "an advanced soccer development program for players aged 5 and older." The program is separated into two distinct components: a development program and a travel program. NY Stars United has 20 travel teams in the U8-U14 age groups.

Super Soccer Stars: Parent & Me
Parent & Me is a parent-child pre-soccer and movement program specifically designed for toddlers between 12 and 24 months.

Shining Soccer Stars
The Shining Soccer Stars Program is a soccer program for children and adults with special needs.

Philanthropic activities
Super Soccer Stars and US-Africa Children's Fellowship (USACF) announced a partnership in 2009. Since then, Super Soccer Stars has held an annual drive during the American holiday season to collect T-shirts, equipment, and soccer balls to donate to USACF-sponsored partner schools in Zimbabwe. In the summer of 2010, 2012 and 2013, in partnership with USACF and Round Star Foundation, Super Soccer Stars sent members of its coaching team to visit these partner schools in rural Zimbabwe and teach soccer to hundreds of school children. In November 2013, Super Soccer Stars partnered with Round Star Foundation and the Ministry of Education in Brazil to send a group of coaches to Iraquara, Bahia to implement a 7-day "Building Soccer Bridges" teacher training and coaching education program.

In the summer of 2009, Super Soccer Stars hosted an event at its New York City facility for the "Don't Play With the Flu" national health awareness campaign featuring U.S. women's national soccer team players Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain. Hamm and Chastain participated in a coaching clinic in which they taught children about soccer and flu vaccinations.

title: Dirk van Duijvenbode

text:
Dirk van Duijvenbode (born 30 June 1992) is a Dutch professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events, where he is currently ranked No. 10 in the world. He is known for his energetic walk-on, combined with hardstyle music. More recently, he has become known for his job on an aubergine farm, which has led to him having the nickname 'Aubergenius'.

Career

Early Career: 2011-2017
In 2011, van Duijvenbode reached the final of a German PDC Youth Tour event, losing 2–4 against Paul Barham. In 2013, he won through to the final of two Challenge Tour events but was beaten 1–4 by Rowby-John Rodriguez and 3–4 by Jan Dekker.

Van Duijvenbode began playing in main PDC events in 2014 and qualified for the German Darts Championship, where he beat Brian Woods 6–3 before losing 5–6 to Wes Newton, having been 5–3 ahead. He reached the quarter-finals of a PDC event for the first time at the fourth UK Open Qualifier by defeating Robert Thornton 6–4, but then lost by a reverse of this scoreline to Brendan Dolan. At the UK Open itself he beat John Bowles 5–1 and, despite at one time holding a 7–4 lead over Joe Murnan in third round, was then edged out 8–9. Van Duijvenbode progressed to the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship, but lost 2–6 against Keegan Brown. He was defeated 1–5 by Colin Fowler in the final of the penultimate Challenge Tour event of the year.

In 2015, van Duijvenbode hit his first nine-dart finish during the third Development Tour event after he wired double 12 for a perfect leg in his previous match. His first quarter-final of the year on the main tour came at the 12th Players Championship where he lost 2–6 to Michael Smith. Van Duijvenbode made his debut at the European Championship, but was knocked out 2–6 by Justin Pipe in the first round.

Van Duijvenbode made his first appearance in the PDC World Championship in the 2016 event and lost the first set against compatriot Raymond van Barneveld in the first round. The next went to a deciding leg, but when van Duijvenbode was on 180 he hit three treble 20s to bust his score and could not win another leg in a 3-0 loss. At the UK Open he enjoyed wins over Michael McFall, Peter Hudson and Robbie Green to play in the fourth round and was defeated 4–9 by Mark Webster. During the rest of the season, the best van Duijvenbode could do was reach the last 32 of three Players Championship events.

2018-2020
After winning his Tour Card back at the start of 2018 only to lose it after his two-year spell, van Duijvenbode won a Tour Card for the third time at 2020 European Q-School. On 9 February 2020, he made his first ever PDC semi-final, losing 4–7 to Gerwyn Price at the Players Championship 2. He also reached the semi-final of the 2020 Belgian Darts Championship. Van Duijvenbode's strong start to the 2020 PDC Pro Tour helped him qualify for the 2020 World Grand Prix, where despite being a debutant and the lowest-ranked qualifier on the Order of Merit, he defeated top 16 players Mensur Suljović, Dimitri Van den Bergh, Gary Anderson & Simon Whitlock to reach his first televised final, where he was defeated by Gerwyn Price. His strong performances on the Pro Tour this year were enough to earn him a spot at the World Championship for the first time in 5 years.

2021
At the 2021 World Championship, van Duijvenbode came back from 2 sets behind to beat Bradley Brooks 3-2 in the first round, and then beat the fifth seed Rob Cross in the second. In the third round he whitewashed Adam Hunt 4-0, to set up a tie with Glen Durrant in the last 16. Although he lost the first 2 sets to Durrant, he won the match 4-3 to progress to the quarter-finals, where he was beaten by Gary Anderson by 5 sets to 1, ending his run. However, this performance was enough to see him reach the world's top 32 for the first time in his career. 2021 also saw van Duijvenbode pick up his first ranking tournament win in the PDC with a Players Championship final win against fellow Dutchman Martijn Kleermaker.

2022
Despite a successful 2021 campaign, van Duijvenbode did not begin 2022 on form, and was defeated in the fourth round at the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship by eventual quarter-finalist Gerwyn Price. However, he maintained a consistently high standard of play on the PDC Pro Tour, and has also won two Players Championship events so far in the year 2022. His appearance at the 2022 World Matchplay was just his second appearance at the event to date, and he entered the event as the 14th seed based on his then-current PDC Order of Merit ranking. In the Matchplay, he defeated Ryan Searle and world number 3 Michael Smith before losing to his 2022 PDC World Cup teammate Danny Noppert 16-11 in the quarter-final stage. According to the PDC statistical website Darts Orakel, van Duijvenbode recently usurped José de Sousa as the current most prolific 180 hitter on the PDC circuit, averaging one maximum every 0.378 legs of darts in the last calendar year.  Based on his recent tournament wins and performance in the Matchplay, van Duijvenbode is currently ranked 5th in the Players Championship Order of Merit and 10th in the overall PDC Order of Merit. The latter is a career-high ranking for the Dutchman.

title: ETOX

text:
eTOX is a temporary consortium established in 2010 to share and use toxicology data. It is a pre-competitive collaboration which main goal is to create and distribute tools to predict drug side-effects based on pre-clinical experiments. Aims are a better in silico predictability of potential adverse events and a decrease of the use of animals in toxicological research. eTOX is funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI).

Goals
The official title of the consortium is "Integrating bioinformatics and chemoinformatics approaches for the development of expert systems allowing the in silico prediction of toxicities (eTOX)". eTOX aims at creating in silico tools to predict the toxicity of small molecules during early stages of the drug development pipeline. The consortium is assembling predictive model based on a set of toxicology reports curated by pharmaceutical companies who joined the consortium. In the spirit of the IMI, eTOX bring together private companies producing preclinical data and academic partners experts on cheminformatics, bioinformatics and natural language processing. Contribution to public domain of algorithms, software and ontologies is part of the road-map.

Organization
To achieve these goal, a consortium bringing together 25 pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies and university was created. The project was started in 2010, it was originally funded for 5 years by consortium partners and the European Union. The consortium did benefit from an ENSO extension and will continue until end of 2016. Overall estimated budget is 18.7 million Euros.

Partners
eTOX is collaborating with OpenPHACTS, another IMI consortium to reuse publicly available clinical data. In 2014, the IMI iPiE (Intelligence-Led Assessment of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment) consortium was started, goals are similar to eTOX, but raw data are from chemical substances collected to comply with REACH European regulation. It was agreed that a close collaboration for database development, predictive systems and intellectual property issues will take place.

Outcome and dissemination
The eTox project is currently running and is scheduled to finish in December 2016. Internal work is slowly becoming visible externally: as of August 2014, 3046 reports from 4291 animal studies were manually curated and stored in a database. Two thousand more are being processed, and seventy-four models were built and validated, mostly based on public data. The consortium has started to disseminate information and a review article about the project has been published.

The list of scientific publications (including articles and talks) is accessible at the eTOX public website.

An external newsletter is released every 3 months with the main advances in the project, since November 2011.

The future
The United States Food and Drug Administration is going to ask for electronic submission of raw data from animal studies using the Standard for Exchange of Non-clinical Data in future investigational new drug and biologic license application submissions. This is widely seen as a potential game changer for the toxicology discipline where data exchange and data mining of large data-sets is not the norm. It could allow for the automatic import to a database like the eTOX one.

Olivier Chesneau (1972 in Mozé-sur-Louet – May 17, 2014 in Nice) was a French astronomer.

He contributed to a better understanding of several aspects of evolved stars physics, especially planetary nebulae, massive stars and novae.

Among other discoveries, Olivier Chesneau discovered the "peanut star" HR 5171, the fact that novae explode with an hourglass shape already a few days after outburst (e.g. RS Ophiuchi), or the detection of disks in the heart of planetary nebulae.

The Laboratoire J Lagrange at the Côte d'Azur Observatory in France, and ESO established a prize in his memory, The Chesneau Prize.

Minor planet 6065 Chesneau is named in his honor.

title: F.E.A.R. (album)

text:
F.E.A.R. is the eighth studio album by American rock band Papa Roach. It was released on January 27, 2015.

"When you see the word, it looks like Fear. If you look deeper, it's Face Everything And Rise." Speaking to Loudwire, Jacoby Shaddix explained the meaning of this song: "It's about stepping up to your problems," he said, "and connecting with my God and walking through those things."

F.E.A.R. sold 24,425 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 15 on the Billboard 200 chart, charting higher than their previous albums Time for Annihilation: On the Record & On the Road and The Connection, also outselling both of them. It is their first top 15 album in the UK since Lovehatetragedy, as well as their first album to chart higher in the UK than in the US. It also managed to chart in many territories worldwide where many of their previous releases failed to chart. As of April 2016, the album has sold 84,000 copies in the United States.
