text:
María del Mar Cuena Seisdedos (born 11 December 1966 in Baracaldo), known under the stage names Tamara (1990–2004), Ámbar (2004–2005) and then Yurena (from 2005) is a Spanish pop singer. Her early career was marred by controversy, but after a five-year hiatus from the music industry while she operated a club, she launched a successful comeback. Her music was introduced to China in 2014.

Biography
María del Mar Cuena Seisdedos was born on 11 December 1969, in Barakaldo, Vizcaya, Spain. Daughter of Floreal Cuena Ruiz (b. 1936) and Margarita Seisdedos Santos (1928–2019). She began singing in 1990 under the vocal coach Concha Jimenez, with whom she studied for three years in Las Arenas. She prepared a repertoire of ten familiar songs and began performing under the name of "Tamara" at local theaters and pubs, debuting at the Libredon in Portugalete in July 1991.

In 1993 Tamara recorded her first album with songs composed exclusively for her by Northern Studies of Portugalete, including "A por ti" which became a number 1 song years later. She started touring the country and appearing at several radio stations to promote the album. After years of traveling the country, in 1998, she settled in Madrid and met singers  and , forming a trio which appeared on various television shows. Finally in 2000 she landed a small part in Crónicas marcianas by , which was the number one late night television show in Spain. She made tabloid headlines when she claimed to be pregnant by the seer Paco Porras, but the controversy brought her regular appearances on Crónicas marcianas.

That same year, she released a single No cambié written by Leonardo Dantés, which became a number one single, spending ten weeks at the top of the singles chart AFYVE. Following that success, in 2001 she joined the singer Alaska and released a studio album of 14 songs called Superestar which included musicians Carlos Berlanga, Nacho Canut, Joaquin Fernandez (a member of Los Nikis) and . She was considered by many a disco diva and had a large club following. She is credited with being one of the few women who ever was on the cover of Zero, (issue  No. 23. 2000). The following years found her embroiled in numerous scandals, suicide attempts, and finally she was sued over the use of her stage name by a bolero singer, Tamara Macarena Valcárcel Serrano.

Rebirth as Yurena
After the suit, for a brief time she used the stage name Ambar, but settled on the name Yurena. In May 2005 she launched a Maxi single with 2 tracks + 2 remixes called "Vuelvo", which received favorable reviews. After she and her mother were attacked on the street in Madrid, Yurena announced that she was no longer going to sing but would operate a nightclub in Madrid. She opened "Glam Street", in the neighborhood of Malasaña, featuring rock of the 80s and 90s, which she operated for five years.

She returned to recording in 2012, releasing both "Everynight" and "Go" in English and reached the top of the charts with "Go". In 2014, she began touring in China, made a documentary about the experience released "Around the World" which became a YouTube sensation, and in 2015, released "My Life".

title: North School (Kensington, New Hampshire)

text:
The North School, also known locally as the Brick School, is a historic one-room schoolhouse at 63 Amesbury Street in Kensington, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1842, it was the only brick schoolhouse built in the town, and is one of its four surviving 19th-century schools. Of those, it is the best-preserved, and is used as a local history museum. It served the town's educational purposes between 1842 and 1956, and is now a local history museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Description and history
The North School is located north of the small village center of Kensington, in a rural setting at the northwest corner of Amesbury Street (New Hampshire Route 150) and Moulton Ridge Road.  It is a single-story gable-roofed brick building, with a small wood-frame addition to one side. Oriented facing south, its front facade is one of the gable ends, with three window bays to the left of the building entry.  Windows are rectangular sash, and are set in openings that lack adornment; the entry door is topped by a four-light transom window, and there is a smaller sash window in the gable.  The building interior includes a small vestibule area and a large classroom space, with outhouse facilities in the otherwise unfinished frame addition.  The interior is finished with late 19th and early 20th-century finishes.

The school was built in 1842 on the site of a previous school dating to 1798. It has seen primarily modest alterations since its construction, most notably the addition of windows on its west side in 1918, the installation of the ell for toilet facilities in 1920, and the provisioning of electricity in 1938. It is maintained by the Kensington Historical Society, which was formed in 1971 to preserve it.

title: Lirularia yamadana

text:
Lirularia yamadana is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

Description
The height of the shell attains 6 mm, its diameter 4½ mm. The ovate-conical, slightly perforate shell is dull whitish. It is painted on the lirae with lilac-brown tessellations, somewhat formed into flammules. The five whorls are convex, and separated by profound sutures, ridged by delicate spiral lirae articulated with lilac-brown (5 to 6 on penultimate, about 20 on the body whorl). The shell shows oblique incremental lines. The pearly aperture is circular,  equalling ½ the total length. The columella is a trifle thickened. The terminations of the peristome are joined by a thin callus.

The elongate brownish-lilac spots on the lirations are situated somewhat irregularly underneath each other, so as to form flammulations.

Distribution
This marine species occurs off Japan.

title: Gerwyn Price

text:
Gerwyn Price (born 7 March 1985) is a Welsh professional darts player and former professional rugby union and rugby league player. Nicknamed "The Iceman", he competes in events of the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), where he is currently the World No. 5. He is a 3-time Grand Slam Champion and a former world champion, becoming the first ever Welshman to win the tournament. He is also a former world No. 1.

He broke into the top 32 on the PDC Order of Merit in 2016 and soon afterwards won his first Pro Tour title. In 2017, he was the runner-up at the UK Open, Price's first major event final, and has also competed in the prestigious Premier League Darts tournament on five occasions. Price took his first major win in controversial fashion at the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts tournament. He retained the title at the 2019 tournament, and won it again in 2021.

Price has also played rugby union for Welsh Premier Division sides Neath and Cross Keys, Pro12 with Glasgow Warriors and rugby league with South Wales Scorpions.

Rugby

Price played as a hooker for Welsh Premier Division sides Neath and Cross Keys as well as rugby league with South Wales Scorpions and Blackwood Bulldogs where he was capped by Wales Dragonhearts. He also had a short spell at Pro12 side Glasgow Warriors as injury cover for their first choice players. During Price's time with Cross Keys, they won the 2011–12 WRU Challenge Cup, with Price scoring a try in the final. He ended his rugby career in 2014 in order to concentrate on playing darts full-time.

Boxing
On 16 February 2022, Price announced on Instagram his debut boxing fight which was originally scheduled for 9 April 2022 against Rhys Evans at Valley Tavern, Blackwood, Wales. The boxing fight was later delayed due to injury and scheduled for 13 May 2022. Price later announced he would no longer be taking part in the event stating “I’ve pulled out of boxing now. On medical advice, I’ve been advised not to do it."

Darts
Price began playing darts for his local side Markham Welfare, before playing in the Super League for Aberbargoed. Welsh darts professional Barrie Bates advised him to enter Qualifying School to join the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) in January 2014 and Price was successful in the second event. He won six matches on the day concluding with a 5–3 victory over Rowby-John Rodriguez to earn a two-year tour card. He qualified for the 2014 UK Open, and lost 5–2 to Aden Kirk in the second round. He twice reached the last 16 stage of Players Championship events during the first half of 2014, losing to Michael van Gerwen and Stephen Bunting. In July, Price averaged 98.32 in beating former world number one Colin Lloyd 6–2 at the European Darts Open. In the second round he led Gary Anderson 2–0 but went on to lose 6–3. At the 13th Players Championship, Price saw off Lloyd, Kirk, James Wade and Wayne Jones to advance to the quarter-finals for the first time, where he was edged out 6–5 by Adrian Lewis.

Price qualified for the European Darts Trophy in Leipzig during mid September. There, he beat Bernd Roith 6–3 in the first round to face Steve Beaton in the second round. Thanks to a great performance, which included the tournament's highest finish of 167, he saw off Beaton 6–3 and won against Vincent van der Voort  in the following round. He nearly qualified for the 2014 World Grand Prix, for which a place in the semi-finals was needed,  but was beaten 6–3 in the quarter-finals by Andy Hamilton. Price's impressive start to his darting career continued by reaching his first semi-final at the 19th Players Championship where he lost 6–3 to Ian White.

2015

The £12,750 he earned in Pro Tour events during 2014 saw him finish 39th on the Order of Merit to claim the eighth of sixteen places that were on offer to non-qualified players for the 2015 World Championship. Price missed one dart at tops to level at one set all against Peter Wright in the first round and was beaten 3–0. His successful year saw him start 2015 ranked world number 59.

Price was knocked out of the preliminary round of the 2015 UK Open 5–2 by Matt Padgett. On his way to his first quarter-final of the year, Price eliminated Adrian Lewis 6–4 with an average of 105.78 at the second Players Championship event, but he went on to lose 6–2 to James Wade. At the Gibraltar Darts Trophy, Price defeated two top 16 players in Robert Thornton and Simon Whitlock to play in his second career European Tour quarter-final, where compatriot Jamie Lewis narrowly won 6–5. In total during the first half of 2015 Price lost in four quarter-finals on the Pro Tour, and reached the semi-finals of the eighth Players Championship where he lost 6–4 to Adrian Lewis. These results sealed his qualification for the World Matchplay through the Pro Tour Order of Merit, with Price seeing off Michael Smith 10–4 in his debut in the event. He then produced the performance of his career to date as he defeated two-time world champion Lewis 13–10, but could only average 88.17 in his first major quarter-final during a 16–7 defeat by Peter Wright. Price met Smith again in the first round of the World Grand Prix with the tie going to a deciding set in which Price established a 2–0 leg lead. He would miss two match darts as Smith levelled and in the final leg Price was unable to score a point as he missed a total of 15 darts at doubles in the double-start event. He led Ian White 9–8 in the second round of the Players Championship Finals, but went on to lose 10–9.

2016
Andrew Gilding won each set in the first round of the 2016 World Championship by three legs to one in beating Price 3–0. In February at the fifth UK Open Qualifier, Price defeated Mark Webster 6–1 and Mensur Suljović 6–3 to reach his first PDC final, but he was denied the title by world number one Michael van Gerwen who triumphed 6–2. In the seventh Players Championship, Price won through to another final and this time took the title by coming back from 3–0 down against Peter Wright to win 6–3. He also took the eighth event as he averaged 108 in the final during a 6–1 victory over Jamie Caven. After knocking out Kim Huybrechts 10–8 at the World Matchplay, Price would face Adrian Lewis in the second round for the second year in a row. Before the match Lewis stated that Price's win over him 12 months ago was lucky and that Price was a "big mouth who's never won anything and never will win anything". The pre-match tension seemed to affect both players as both averaged in the 80s with Lewis prevailing 11–5. Price lost 2–0 in the first round of the World Grand Prix to Benito van de Pas, and 10–2 to Michael van Gerwen in the second round of the European Championship. Wins over Scott Waites and Robert Thornton saw him top his group on his debut at the Grand Slam of Darts. He missed one match dart against Brendan Dolan in the last 16 in a 10–9 defeat.

2017
After taking the opening set against Jonny Clayton in their first round match at the 2017 World Championship, Price lost three in a row to be beaten 3–1. He was ranked 20th on the Order of Merit afterwards. He defeated Justin Pipe 10–5, David Pallett 10–4 and Paul Hogan 10–6 at the UK Open to reach the quarter-finals. Ian White was on 20 to win 10–9, but hit a double 15 to burst his score and Price stepped in with a 160 checkout to progress through to the semi-finals where he was locked at 9–9 with Alan Norris. Norris missed three darts to take the 19th leg and Price finished 100 with two double tops, before breaking throw in the next to win 11–9. In his first major final he was 7–2 down to Peter Wright, before reducing his deficit to 8–6. However, Price then lost the last three legs to be beaten 11–6.

Victories over Finland, Ireland and Russia helped Price and Mark Webster into the semi-finals of the World Cup. A pair of 4–2 wins over the Belgian team of Kim and Ronny Huybrechts saw them play in the final, where their only point came courtesy of a Webster win over Raymond van Barneveld as they went down 3–1 to the Dutch.

2018
In the 2018 World Championship, Price won in the first round of the World Championship for the first time when he beat Ted Evetts 3–0. In the second round Price beat Ian White 4–1. In the third round Price faced the defending World Champion Michael van Gerwen. Van Gerwen won the first two sets but then Price won seven legs in a row to go two sets all and ahead in the fifth set. Price had set darts in the fifth set, but failed to take them. Van Gerwen won the fifth and sixth set which meant Price lost the match 2–4.

Following good performances over 2017 Price was selected as a wildcard for the 2018 Premier League Darts tournament. Despite good draws against world number 2 Peter Wright and 2017 World Grand Prix winner Daryl Gurney, Price failed to register a victory and was eliminated on week nine's judgement night at the Echo Arena Liverpool.

Price started to show some consistency in the televised majors in 2018, reaching the quarter-finals of the Masters, UK Open, World Grand Prix and European Championship. He also won a European Tour event in September, the International Darts Open in Germany, just 2 months after having an operation to repair a broken achilles heel. In November, Price, as a 40/1 outsider at the start of the event, won his first televised PDC major by winning the Grand Slam of Darts, with come from behind wins against Simon Whitlock in the quarter-finals and surviving match darts to win 16–15, against Mensur Suljović by 16–12 in the semi-finals, and against Gary Anderson by 16–13 in the final. With his controversial Grand Slam of Darts victory, Price was the first Welshman to win a PDC televised major.

2019

In the 2019 World Championship, Price lost 3–2 to Nathan Aspinall in the second round despite leading 2-0 in sets.
In January 2019, Gerwyn Price was hit with a record fine by the Darts Regulation Authority due to his actions at the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts. In total he was fined £21,500 for his actions during his victory at the Grand Slam of Darts. He was fined £12,000 for gamesmanship in the final of the Grand Slam of Darts against Gary Anderson. He was fined £8,000 for gamesmanship in his quarter-final game against Simon Whitlock. He was also fined £1,500 for social media posts following his events, which were directed towards the beaten finalist Gary Anderson. His fine was reduced on appeal to a total of £11,500.

Gerwyn's second Premier League Darts campaign saw him just miss out on a play-off spot, as he finished 5th.

In October 2019, Price reached the final of the European Championship beating Ted Evetts, Nathan Aspinall, Vincent van der Voort and Michael Smith on the way. However, he lost the final to Rob Cross 11–6.

In November 2019, Price successfully defended his Grand Slam of Darts title beating Peter Wright 16–6 in the final after defeating Gary Anderson in the quarter-final and recording his first career win over Michael van Gerwen in the semi-final. Price then reached the final of the Players Championship, where he was the top seed due to his performances on the Pro Tour. He was narrowly beaten 11-9 by van Gerwen after missing four darts to take the match into a deciding leg.

2020
Price's 2019 season meant he entered the 2020 World Championship as the second favourite behind van Gerwen. He reached the semi-finals by defeating three-time BDO world champion Glen Durrant, but he was eventually defeated, in a heated encounter 6–3 by Peter Wright, who went on to win the title.

In March Price reached the 2020 UK Open final, his second UK Open final, losing to Michael van Gerwen 11–9. Price won two televised titles for the first time in 2020; winning the World Series of Darts Finals with a win over Rob Cross and winning the World Grand Prix by beating Dirk van Duijvenbode 5–2 in the final.

2021
Price went into the 2021 World Championship as third seed. He came thorough a last set decider against fellow Welshman Jamie Lewis and a sudden death last leg decider against 30th seed Brendan Dolan to reach the fourth round, where he won 4–1 against Mervyn King to reach the quarter-finals for the second consecutive year. He then beat Daryl Gurney in another last leg decider and beat Stephen Bunting 6–4 to set up a final clash with Gary Anderson. Price beat Anderson 7–3 to win his first PDC World Championship, and replaced Michael van Gerwen as world number one. He also became the first Welshman ever to win the PDC world championship, although Leighton Rees, Richie Burnett, Mark Webster and Wayne Warren had previously won the BDO version of the championship.

In April, Price was ruled out of the Premier League due to testing positive for COVID-19. During the 2021 UK Open, Price made it to the semi-finals losing 11–6 in legs to eventual winner James Wade. Wade would also take Price’s place in the Premier League following his positive COVID test. At the 2021 World Matchplay in July, he lost in the quarter-finals to Dimitri Van den Bergh.

From 1998 to 1999 she was the coordinator of the Workgroup on Networks, Culture and Social Dynamics, Lazarsfeld Center for the Social Sciences at Columbia University and was co-editor with Charles Tilly of an online pre-print series for the Lazarsfeld Center. From 1987 to 1990, Mische was an Institute of Current World Affairs Fellow for study in Brazil, which set the stage for her doctoral work and first publication. In 1994 she received a Fulbright-Hays Award to continue doctoral dissertation work in Brazil. She completed her dissertation on the political activity of youth activists in Brazil with guidance from Charles Tilly, Ira Katznelson and Harrison White.

From 2001 to 2008, she was the co-editor of journal Social Movement Studies and on the editorial boards of several journals, including Sociological Theory, Qualitative Sociology, American Journal of Sociology. She was chair of the Theory (2007-2008), Political Sociology (2013–14) and Culture (2021-22) sections of the American Sociological Association.

Contributions
Her 2008 publication Partisan Publics: Communication and Contention across Brazilian Youth Activist Networks received an honorable mention for the Best Book Award in Political Sociology from the American Sociological Association. John W. Mohr states that, with this book, "Mische sets a new standard for how to conceptualize the dynamic analysis of an institutional field," and Ronald Breiger contends that "Ann Mische establishes herself at the forefront of research seeking solid foundations for a sociology of action and structure that takes seriously cultural projects and partisanship, networks and narratives, institutions and communicative action, and the creation and demise of publics." Partisan Politics was published in the Princeton University Press' Series: Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology, which "aims to present for a broad audience a select number of works by the most prominent and the most promising scholars in cultural sociology." The series is edited by Paul J. DiMaggio, Michèle Lamont, Robert J. Wuthnow, and Viviana A. Zelizer.

title: Union Meetinghouse-Universalist Church

text:
The Union Meetinghouse or Universalist Church is a historic church building at 97 Amesbury Road in Kensington, New Hampshire.  Built in 1839–40, it is a well-preserved and little-altered example of a mid-19th century Greek Revival rural church.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, and continues to be used for summer services.

Description and history
The Union Meetinghouse stands at the southern end of a cluster of civic and municipal buildings that constitute the town center of Kensington, at the junction of Amesbury and Osgood Roads.  It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.  Its main facade has a pedimented gable and a pair of doorways, each flanked by sidelight windows and topped by an entablature.  The church tower has two stages, and is topped by Gothic pinnacles at the corners (a later addition).  The building has seen only relatively minor alterations since its construction.  The interior retains its original as-built configuration, with original pulpit and fixtures.

The single story Greek Revival white clapboard structure was largely completed in 1839 and formally dedicated in 1840.  It was originally built to serve as a meetinghouse shared by several Protestant congregations, partly the result of splits within the dominant Congregationalists, and partly due to the rising number of Baptists and Quakers in the community.  By 1865 many of these congregations had either folded or established their own buildings, leaving the building to the large Universalist congregation. The town formally deeded the underlying land to the Universalist Society in 1915.

title: 1990 SANFL season

text:
The 1990 South Australian National Football League season was the 111th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.
The season opened on Saturday 14 April with all of the opening round matches simultaneously, and concluded on Sunday 7 October with the Grand Final in which Port Adelaide (minor premiers) won its 30th premiership by defeating Glenelg (second at the end of the minor rounds).

North Adelaide, Norwood and South Adelaide also made the top (final) five teams and participated in the finals matches. West Adelaide, Central District, Woodville, West Torrens and Sturt all missed the top five, with the latter finishing last to win its 12th wooden spoon.

This was the last SANFL season before the introduction of the Adelaide Crows into the Australian Football League. This effectively relegating the SANFL to second tier status in South Australia.

title: Osborne & Little

text:
Osborne & Little is a British manufacturer and retailer of upmarket wallpaper and fabrics. It was established in 1968 and now has showrooms worldwide. It was among the brands included in the Victoria and Albert Museum's British Design 1948–2012: Innovation in the Modern Age exhibition in 2012.

History
Osborne & Little was established by Sir Peter Osborne (father of Conservative Party politician George Osborne) and his brother-in-law Antony Little. The company's shop, in the King's Road, Chelsea, put it in the heart of Swinging London.

Little was the designer – he had been responsible for Biba's distinctive black and gold logo – and created most of the company's early ranges. Hand-printed papers were inspired by everything from the designs of Aubrey Beardsley to the Brighton Pavilion Its success in reinterpreting classic designs in new ways during the 1970s and '80s meant that Little soon presided over a large design team. In the book Twentieth Century Pattern Design, Lesley Jackson described the brand as distinctive for its bold reinterpretations of traditional patterns, adding: "historical references tend to be lateral rather than literal".

Expansion
The company took over Isabel Tisdall's Tamesa Fabrics in 1985 and later acquired the distribution rights to Lorca fabrics and Liberty Furnishings. It has a longstanding association with interior designer Nina Campbell, distributing her collections. The company has a wholly owned US subsidiary and showrooms across Europe, in addition to retailing via UK stores such as John Lewis. Its high-profile clients have included Bill and Hillary Clinton, who used Osborne & Little designs in their private apartment at the White House.

The company was formerly listed on the London Stock Exchange, delisting in 2003; it had a turnover of almost £33m in 2011, with a quarter of this coming from sales in mainland Europe. Little retired from the business in 2005 and Osborne remains CEO. Former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne retains a shareholding in the company.

Tax 'deferral'
The company recorded a pre-tax profit of £722,000 on turnover of £34 million in 2014/5. In 2015 it was revealed by Private Eye that, despite this profit, the company paid no corporation tax for the year 2015 – thereby avoiding a "tax bill" of £179,000. The magazine also revealed that the company had not paid any corporation tax since 2008 and had even received a tax credit of £12,000 in the year 2010. This was due to the company making losses totalling £9 million between 2009 and 2014, which allow the carry forward of credits for losses against the 2015 corporation tax bill. Despite these losses, the companies' directors were paid a total of £1.2million in the year 2012 alone. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, owns a 15% stake in the company, which is estimated to be worth between 15 and 30 million pounds.

Design collaborations
Osborne & Little has collaborated with a number of other British fashion and textile designers over the years, including Zandra Rhodes, Neisha Crosland and Matthew Williamson.

The 1952 State of the Union Address was given by Harry S. Truman, the 33rd president of the United States, on Wednesday, January 9, 1952.  It was given to both houses of the 82nd United States Congress at the same time.  In it, he said these words: "If the Soviet leaders were to accept this proposal, it would lighten the burden of armaments, and permit the resources of the earth to be devoted to the good of mankind. But until the Soviet Union accepts a sound disarmament proposal, and joins in peaceful settlements, we have no choice except to build up our defenses."

title: 2-Phenylpyridine

text:
2-Phenylpyridine is an organic compound with the formula C6H5C5H4N (or C11H9N). It is a colourless viscous liquid.  The compound and related derivatives have attracted interest as precursors to highly fluorescent metal complexes of possible value as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).

The compound is prepared by the reaction of phenyl lithium with pyridine:

C6H5Li + C5H5N → C6H5-C5H4N + LiH

The reaction of iridium trichloride with 2-phenylpyridine proceeds via cyclometallation to give the chloride-bridged complex:

4 C6H5-C5H4N + 2 IrCl3(H2O)3 → Ir2Cl2(C6H4-C5H4N)4 + 4 HCl

This complex can be converted to the pictured tris(cyclometallated) derivative tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium.

title: Kyō no Kira-kun

text:
is a Japanese shōjo manga series written and illustrated by Rin Mikimoto. It is published by Kodansha on Bessatsu Friend. The first volume was published on 13 January 2012. A live-action adaptation was released on February 25, 2017.

Plot
Ninon Okamura is an introverted high schoolgirl who cannot talk with anyone other than her parents and Kansai dialect-speaking pet parrot, Sensei, due to the trauma of being bullied when she was in elementary school. However, her life changes when her mother requests her to befriend her next-door neighbor and classmate, Yuiji Kira, who suffers from a heart disease and likely only has one year left to live. Ninon encourages Kira to abandon his lewd lifestyle and instead fill his life with happiness, vowing to always remain on his side. The two become fast friends and ultimately fall for each other, though both are aware that their relationship likely has no future.

In the meantime, Ninon and Kira's relationship is rocked by several events, including Kira's brief relationship with the school nurse, Mio Shitara, who seeks solace after her fiance's death; Kira's estrangement from his tsundere friend Kazuhiro Yabe who once became the ringleader of Ninon's bullies until he humbles himself and falls in love with her; as well as Kira's ambiguous relationship with Rei Uchida, although she is revealed to be testing Ninon's resolve, as she does not like indecisive people, and later befriends her after the misunderstanding is cleared. Yabe and Rei later develop feelings for each other and become a couple.

As time goes on, Kira's illness grows worse and he must travel overseas for medication that can cure it. While his illness ultimately subsides after several tense months, the Kira family is left in great debt and have to move to Osaka to find work, separating Kira from Ninon just as the two are reunited. Meanwhile, Sensei grows a tumor and loses his ability to talk, ultimately dying a few months after Kira's return. Ninon's depression is prevented, though, with a video recorded by Sensei telling her to lift her head and move on with her life.

Several years afterward, Ninon and Kira are shown visiting Tokyo Tower with their son, who speaks in the Kansai dialect.

Characters

Played by: Marie Iitoyo
The series' main protagonist. Ninon is part-French through her mother; her name alludes to ninon, a French word for woven fabric. She is a beautiful but introverted high school student who is unable to talk to anyone except her own parents and talking pet parrot, Sensei, due to a history of bullying that left a scar on her forehead, which she initially hides using her bangs. However, she is able to open up when she is tasked by her mother to keep an eye on her neighbor and classmate, Yuiji Kira, who is sick of a heart disease. Through time, Ninon eventually falls in love with him, a feeling that is reciprocated, yet is forced to watch him endure through his sickness until he is successfully treated overseas. However, just as Kira has returned for her, Sensei develops a tumor, an illness that he does not recover from. She is encouraged by Sensei's pre-recorded video, though, to keep her spirits up and temporarily lets Kira go to support his father in Osaka. In the epilogue, it is shown that Ninon and Kira are married and have a son who speaks in the Kansai dialect, just like Sensei.

Played by: Taishi Nakagawa
Ninon's next-door neighbor and classmate, Kira is sick of a heart disease that gives him only a short life expectancy, a chance that is further reduced by his initially lewd and daring lifestyle. Due to this, he feels lonely and likes to retreat at Tokyo Tower, until Ninon approaches and encourages him to fill his life with happiness, even if it may be short. Since then, he becomes close to Ninon and eventually falls for her, but is constantly reminded that his short life means that Ninon will eventually be left to grieve for him. Despite his "cool" exterior, Kira is actually very emotional and prone to cry, especially whenever Ninon puts up a brave face to face her concern about his illness. Later, Kira discovers a way to cure his disease overseas, which, while long and winding, does indeed cure him, although it leaves his family in great debt, forcing him to work in Osaka and separating him from Ninon yet again for a while. In the epilogue, Kira is seen visiting Tokyo Tower with Ninon and their son.

Ninon's talking pet parrot who becomes her constant companion and friend. He was discovered by Ninon dying at the streets after being abused by a human and attacked by crows before he was subsequently rushed to a veterinarian. A few days after, Sensei suddenly gained the ability to talk; with it, he promised to Ninon that he will always accompany her no matter what. Ninon disguises him as a doll towards her classmates for most of the series, though his secret is eventually found out by Kira and Yabe. Sensei is flamboyant and speaks in the Kansai dialect. He is also jealous of Ninon's friendship and eventual romantic relationship with Kira. Near the end of the series, Sensei develops a tumor and loses his ability to talk. This illness ultimately leads to his death. He manages to create a pre-recorded video for Ninon beforehand, telling her to move forward and be compassionate as well as not grieve for him anymore.
The film adaptation cuts Sensei's role, instead relegating him to an ordinary parrot who constantly praises Ninon with "You're awesome!". He also lives all the way to the end of the film.

Played by: Shōno Hayama

At first, he bullies Ninon due to her introverted nature, but in the process has his friendship with Kira broken when the latter stands up for her. Despite this, he tries to make amends with Kira and develops feelings for Ninon, though he ultimately wants her and Kira to be happy by staying together.

While she has no feelings for Kira, Rei at first pretends to be his ex-girlfriend to Ninon and bullies her into breaking up with him, but when Ninon shows resolve on her relationship, she apologizes and congratulates her. Rei is later shown to be one of Ninon's best friends and slowly develops a relationship with Yabe, though it goes a rocky path due to both parties' difficult personalities.

title: Kevin Cooney (baseball)

text:
Kevin Cooney (born August 12, 1950) is an American former college baseball coach who was the head coach at Montclair State from 1984–1987 and Florida Atlantic from 1988–2008. Under Cooney, the teams combined to appear in 11 NCAA tournaments, including six in Division I.  Montclair State won the Division III National Championship in 1987.  Individually, Cooney was named the TAAC Coach of the Year in 1999.

Playing career
A New Jersey native, Cooney attended Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey. He played baseball for the Red Hawks from 1970–1972.  A pitcher, Cooney had a career 18-3 record, 2.35 ERA, and 164 strikeouts.  In 1972, his final season at Montclair, the program appeared in its first NCAA tournament, finishing third in the East Regional. Following the season, the Minnesota Twins selected him in the 11th round of the MLB Draft.

Cooney played two professional seasons, advancing as high as Class A Wisconsin Rapids before a shoulder injury ended his playing career. Over the two seasons, Cooney compiled a 19-11 record and a 3.43 ERA.

Coaching career

Montclair State
Following his playing career, Cooney returned to Montclair State as an assistant under Clary Anderson, whom he had played for a few years earlier. Cooney worked as an assistant from 1975–1976. The Red Hawks made the NCAA tournament in both seasons. Anderson left to become the head coach at Fairleigh Dickinson after the 1976 season; Cooney also left Montclair and worked as a high school teacher and coach in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

When Montclair's next head coach, Fred Hill, left for Rutgers following the 1983 season, Cooney returned as the Red Hawks' head coach. In Cooney's four seasons at Montclair (1984–1987), the Red Hawks went 138-50-2, reached four Division III College World Series, and won the 1987 national championship.  In 1987, the team went 3-0 to win its regional, defeating North Adams State, 11-5, and Upsala, 17-2 and 16-15 in 10 innings.  At that year's College World Series, Montclair went 4-0 with two extra inning wins to win the title. It beat Eastern Connecticut, UC San Diego, and UW-Oshkosh to advance to the championship game, where it defeated Oshkosh, 13-12 in 10 innings.

During Cooney's stint at Montclair, three players were selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, including seventh-round selection Dan Olsson in 1985.

Florida Atlantic

Division II
Prior to the 1988 season, Division II Florida Atlantic (FAU) hired Cooney to replace Steve Traylor, who had left to become the head coach at Duke.  Cooney held the position for 21 seasons, leading FAU to Division I, seven NCAA tournaments, and a 742-480-5 overall record.

For Cooney's first six seasons, 1988–1993, FAU played as an independent school in Division II, though its schedule included a mix of Division I and Division II teams.  In 1991, Cooney hired John McCormack, who would remain with the program as an assistant through the end of Cooney's tenure.  He also opened the FAU Baseball Stadium in 1991.  The Blue Wave's best season during this stretch was 1993, when it went 41-17 and reached an NCAA Regional championship game.

Division I
For the 1994 season, FAU transitioned to Division I, joining the Trans America Athletic Conference.

After being ineligible for the postseason in 1994, the program made its first Division I postseason in 1995, finishing fourth in the TAAC to qualify for the TAAC Tournament.  As the fourth seed, the Blue Wave won their first game against top-seeded FIU, then lost consecutive games to Stetson and UCF and was eliminated.

FAU reached its first Division I tournament in 1999, one of its best seasons under Cooney.  It went 51-5 in the regular season; the season included a 34-game win streak from February to April that tied Texas's NCAA record.  Pitcher Todd Moser was named the A-Sun Player of the Year.  At the TAAC Tournament at Osceola County Stadium, the Blue Wave went 1-2 but qualified for the NCAA tournament with an at-large bid.  At the Coral Gables Regional, the team lost its opener to FIU, then defeated Bethune-Cookman and FIU before losing to host Miami in the regional championship.

The Blue Wave returned to the NCAA tournament in 2000, then made their deepest postseason run under Cooney in 2002. After a 40-15 regular season in which they placed second in the A-Sun,  the Blue Wave went 3-2 at the A-Sun Tournament, losing to top-seeded UCF in the title game.  They were then awarded an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the third seed in the Tuscaloosa Regional.  Both lower seeds won their regional openers (FAU 16-11 over Auburn), setting up a 1-0 game with Southeast Missouri State that FAU won to reach the regional championship round. There, they lost one game to host Alabama, 7-2, but defeated the Crimson Tide in the decisive seventh game to advance to the best-of-three super regional round. In the Atlanta Super Regional, Georgia Tech swept the Blue Wave in two games.

The 2002 appearance was the first of four consecutive NCAA tournaments for the program, but it did not advance past the regionals in 2003, 2004, or 2005.  (Of Cooney's six Division I Tournament appearances at FAU, 2002 was the only year in which the Blue Wave were not placed at the Coral Gables Regional, hosted by nearby Miami.)  In 2004, FAU won its only A-Sun Tournament under Cooney; Rusty Brown was named the tournament MVP.

During Cooney's 21 seasons at FAU, the program had 58 selections in the Major League Baseball Draft.  The highest was Jeff Fiorentino, a future Major Leaguer selected 79th overall in 2004.  Other of Cooney's players to appear in Major League Baseball were Tim Harikkala, Carmen Cali, Tommy Murphy, Michael Crotta, Mickey Storey, and Jeff Beliveau.

FAU moved to the Sun Belt Conference for Cooney's final two seasons (2007–2008). The Owls (renamed following the 2005 season) had two 30-win seasons and made two Sun Belt tournaments, but did not qualify for the NCAA tournament in either season.  Following the 2008 season, Cooney announced his retirement.

Head coaching record
The following is a table of Cooney's yearly records as a collegiate head baseball coach.

Personal
Cooney has four children. His oldest son, Jim, pitched for Cooney from 1999–2002, was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles, and played three years of professional baseball.

Since retiring from coaching, Cooney has moved to Sweetwater, Tennessee and started business ventures in farming, antiques, and Christmas tree growing.

In 2012, Cooney was inducted into the FAU Hall of Fame.

title: Arthur Browne (1756–1805)

text:
Arthur Browne (1756 – 8 June 1805) was an Irish lawyer, academic, and politician.

He sat in the House of Commons of Ireland from 1783 until its abolition in 1800, as a Member of Parliament for Dublin University.

Family and early life
Browne was the son of Marmaduke Browne, rector of Trinity Church in Newport, Rhode Island, who in 1761 was appointed one of the original fellows of Rhode Island College, known from 1804 as Brown University. His mother, Anne Franklin of Bristol, died in 1767. His grandfather, the Rev. Arthur Browne, born at Drogheda 1699, was educated at Trinity College Dublin, becoming B.A. 1726 and M.A. 1729. In 1729 he emigrated, at Bishop Berkeley's persuasion, to Rhode Island, and was for six years the minister of Kings Chapel, Providence, and in 1736 he became episcopal minister at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and died 10 June 1773.

Arthur Browne, the grandson, was educated at a school established in Newport by Dr. Berkeley. His father died from the privations of the voyage almost immediately after his return to Rhode Island from Ireland, whither has had repaired in order to enter his son at Trinity College Dublin. Arthur Browne had previously been entered at Harvard College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1771.

Career
At Trinity College, he gained a scholarship in 1774, and took his BA degree in 1776. He was elected a junior fellow in 1777, proceeded M.A. 1779, and was called to the bar of Ireland. He graduated LL.B. (1780) and LL.D. (1784), and in 1784 became an advocate in the courts of delegates, prerogative, admiralty, and consistory, and for a long time held the vicar-generalship of the Diocese of Kildare. He served as junior proctor of the university in 1784, and as senior proctor—having become a senior fellow in 1795—from 1807 to the time of his death.

In 1783 he was returned to the Irish House of Commons as member for Dublin University, which he continued to represent in three parliaments until 1800. He was considered one of the best debaters in the  Commons. He was a moderate reformer, supporting some measures of parliamentary reform, and also the gradual introduction of Catholic Emancipation. He was opposed both to the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and to the extreme measures to suppress it. He lost his seat in parliament largely due to his change of heart on the Act of Union 1800, which he initially opposed but later supported, on the ground that the Parliament of Ireland no longer commanded the respect or loyalty of the Irish people. The defection of such a respected figure from the anti-Union side was a major blow to the cause, and some of his former friends never forgave him.

In 1785 Browne became Regius professor of Civil and Canon Laws at the University of Dublin, and afterwards published A Compendious View of the Civil Law (1798), and ‘A Compendious View of the Ecclesiastical Law, being the Substance of a Course of Lectures read in the University of Dublin,’ &c., 8vo, Dublin, 1799, &c. A second edition, ‘with great additions,’ was published as ‘A Compendious View of the Ecclesiastical Law of Ireland,' &c., 8vo, Dublin, 1803; and a ‘first American edition from the second London edition, with great additions,' was published as ‘A Compendious View of the Civil Law, and of the Law of the Admiralty,' &c., 2 vols. 8vo, New York, 1840. In addition to his chair of law, Browne thrice held the Regius Professorship of Greek at Dublin (from 1792 to 1795, from 1797 to 1799, and from 1801 to 1805). He was both a popular and a conscientious lecturer.

Browne was made King's Counsel in 1795, became Prime Serjeant in 1802, and in 1803 was admitted a bencher of the Society of the Kings Inns, Dublin. Browne was the last to hold the office of Prime Serjeant. He was also made a member of the Privy Council of Ireland. He died on Saturday morning, 8 June 1805, in Clare Street, Dublin. He was twice married, and had by his first wife Marianne a daughter, and a family by his second wife Bridget, who, with five children, survived him.

When a college corps of yeomanry was formed on the appearance of the French in Bantry Bay in December 1796, Browne was unanimously elected to the command. In 1787 he defended the Church of Ireland in spite of much abuse and was a conscientious supporter of the Union. Browne published, in imitation of Montaigne, two volumes of ‘Miscellaneous Sketches, or Hints for Essays,' 8vo, London, 1798, the first of which was inscribed ‘to his daughter, M. T. B.,’ the second ‘to the memory of Marianne,’ his first wife. Browne also published, as a study in fancy and philology, ‘Hussen O Dil. Beauty and the Heart, an Allegory; translated from the Persian Language,’ &c., 4to, Dublin, 1801, and he was also the author of ‘A Brief Review of the Question, Whether the Articles of Limerick have been violated?' 8vo, Dublin, 1788, a defence of the legislature against the calumnies with which it had been assailed during the session preceding its publication.

On 29 August 2019, the museum received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

Museum without borders
Representing the history and aspirations of the Palestinian people, the Palestinian Museum aims to discuss the past, present, and future of Palestine. The museum's research programs develop knowledge that is relevant inside and outside Palestine. Through its digital platforms and international partners, the museum aims to connect with about 10 million Palestinians[5] scattered around the world, and with all those interested in Palestine.

The museum aims to transcend political and geographical borders, and address the mobility issues due to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Through local, regional and international partnerships and affiliate centers, the museum seeks to connect Palestinians worldwide. With an extensive network of partnerships within the region, it hopes to act as a hub for cultural activity there.

The idea of developing a museum was initiated in 1997 by the London-based Welfare Association to commemorate the Nakba, and later developed to a broader viewpoint to documenting Palestinian history, society, art and culture from the beginning of the 19th century."It is not necessarily to start or stop at the Nakba, but nevertheless to look at Palestinians before that and after that … take that history and that memory as a means to reflect on what's happening today and as a way to think through ideas, concepts and propositions for the future." Jack Persekian, former director of the Palestinian Museum.

The museum aims to be an innovative venue for creating and communicating research, knowledge and new thinking about showcasing Palestinian society, art, history and culture. In May 2015 the museum officially joined the International Council of Museums.

In May 2016, it was announced that Mahmoud Hawari would succeed Jack Persekian as director, who was ousted by the board after three and a half years. Writer and academic Dr. Adila Laïdi-Hanieh was appointed as Director General in September 2018. She developed the first five years programs strategy of the museum, and established two new departments focusing on curating, and on research and knowledge programming. She led the museum's COVID-19 lockdown programming in 2020, that enabled it to increase and continue providing its activities online without interruption, while diversifying its audiences.

Architecture
The architectural firm responsible for the building is Heneghan Peng, who designed the Grand Egyptian Museum. The building aims to bring together a mix of exhibition spaces, research, and education programmes. Through its digital platforms and international partners, the museum seeks to connect with about 10 million Palestinians[5] scattered around the world, and with all those interested in Palestine.

The Palestinian Museum is notable as a winner of the 2019 Aga Khan Award for Architecture. When it was shortlisted for the award earlier in the year, the museum was noted for marrying an aesthetically pleasing design with environmental responsibility.

Located atop a terraced hill, the museum building overlooks the Mediterranean. With a design inspired by the surrounding rural landscape, the building integrates seamlessly into its environment. The building's facade is made of local limestone and its cascading gardens represent the history of Palestinian vegetation and agriculture.

Builders laid terraces by hand, incorporating artisanal knowledge and skill. Outdoor garden spaces extend interior spaces to facilitate outdoor exhibitions and blend the building with its environment. The building's interior contains galleries, educational and research facilities, and administrative offices.

The museum's sustainable construction earned it LEED Gold certification. The building design and operations take sustainability into account. To reach LEED standards, the builders needed to implement systems control technologies that were new to the area's building industry.

The museum building is built on nearly ten acres of land donated by Birzeit University near Ramallah, and the cost of the building is estimated at US$24 to $30 million. Funds were contributed by "over 30 private Palestinian families and institutions", including the A. M. Qattan Foundation, the Bank of Palestine (privately owned), and the Arab Fund for Social and Economic Development.

The museum was inaugurated by Mahmoud Abbas on 18 May 2016, but it was "plagued by a series of cost overruns and delays", with some blaming Israel Customs authorities for those delays.

title: 1915 State of the Union Address

text:
The 1915 State of the Union Address was given by Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States on Tuesday, December 7, 1915.  It was given to a joint session of the 64th United States Congress, to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives.  It was given shortly before the United States entered World War I.  He said these words: "The moral is, that the states of America are not hostile rivals but cooperating friends, and that their growing sense of community or interest, alike in matters political and in matters economic, is likely to give them a new significance as factors in international affairs and in the political history of the world."

title: Harley-Davidson (Sega/Stern pinball)

text:
Harley-Davidson is a Sega Pinball pinball machine released in September 1999 and was the last machine released by this company. It was designed by Jon Borg and Lonnie D. Ropp.

The table went through three different production runs. The first made by Sega and continued by Stern Pinball in 1999 after they bought Sega's pinball division in the same year. The second produced by Stern Pinball in 2002, and the third with an artwork change also by Stern was released in 2004.

Description
The machine features a Harley-Davidson motorcycle theme including authentic engine sound. The game enables players to lock the ball in wheelies on the playfield. The game has an up post between the flippers that is controlled by the player by an extra flipper button on the right side of the cabinet.

There was a second edition of the table released in November 2002, which was a re-run of the first edition with no changes.

Due to the popularity of the first and second run, the company released 300 games as a third edition in April 2004. This version includes upgraded parts including chrome trim, different motorcycles on the playfield a 1999 and a 2000 Fat Boy as well as a 2001 Heritage Springer.

The table also features a licensed remix of the theme Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf.

Gameplay
The objective of the table is to tour 16 cities in different states of the United States, until reaching Milwaukee. The distance to travel is expressed in miles, which advances according to the progress of the city; Hitting the bumpers (Speed Pops) speeds up the process. Upon reaching the next city, the player has the chance to collect the "city patch" by reaching the stoplight, before time runs out; after that, the player moves on to the next city.

Initial launch
At the beginning of launching the ball, the player may choose between four options:

 10 MIL: grants 10 million points.

 Speed Pops: open the path directly to the bumpers. In all other cases, the ball deflects towards the stoplight.

 Next City: allows the player to go directly to the next city by throwing the ball to the Mystery Rider hole. The sole throwing the ball to Mystery Ride hole grants a variable number of points.

 HARLEY Letter: Grants a H-A-R-L-E-Y letter for Harley multi-ball mode.

Multiball modes
The game offers the following multiball modes:

 Harley Multiball: The player gets a H-A-R-L-E-Y letter by throwing the ball under the Fat Boy doing a wheelie (or during the ball launch). When the player gets all the H-A-R-L-E-Y letter, they must throw the ball under the Fat Boy again in order to trigger the multiball.
 Speedometer Multiball: accessed by reaching the 5th gear (going through the left inner hallway) and going down the ramp.
 Red Light Multiball: accessed by completing a series of objectives and reaching the stoplight.
 Milwaukee Multiball: accessed by traveling through 16 cities, reaching Milwaukee. It is a multiball with unlimited ball saves for 80 seconds, and its objective is to go through the 48 contiguous states of the United States.

In all modes, the multiball mode ends when there is only one ball left on the playing field, or when time runs out in the corresponding modes.

Video Mode
The Video Mode is a minigame displayed on the dot matrix display at the backglass, and is accessed by completing certain objectives. The objective is to run over as many pedestrians on the road as possible, avoiding crashing with other vehicles, within a limited time. This video mode is identical to the one found in the 1994  Guns N' Roses pinball machine by Data East (Data East Pinball having been bought by Sega later that same year).

Extra ball
The game awards an extra ball for reaching 120 million points (by default), and by completing some tasks.

Digital versions
The Stern's 3rd edition is available in The Pinball Arcade and Stern Pinball Arcade by FarSight Studios for several platforms
