Synopsis
Maryam (Negar Javaherian) and Reza (Shahab Hosseini) try to do their best in life, but are met with several obstacles due to being mentally challenged. Their son Soheil was born without any defects and initially does not realize how his parents differ from other adults until he begins to grow older. This leads to complications when his teachers request that his mother come to school for a parent-teacher conference, as Soheil is afraid that his parents will humiliate him. As a result, Soheil spends more and more time with Amirali, his teacher's son, and eventually moves in with them after his father loses his job.

title: Frederick Lewis Davis

text:
Frederick Lewis Davis (30 January 1863 − 17 May 1920) was a Liberal politician and a member of a notable family of coal owners in South Wales. His grandfather, David Davis, Blaengwawr was a pioneer of the coal trade in the Aberdare valley while his father, Lewis Davis and uncle, David Davis, Maesyffynnon developed the business and were pioneers of the coal trade in the Rhondda, most notably at Ferndale. Having trained as a barrister, Davis joined the family business.

Political career
In 1885, Davis was chosen as the Liberal candidate for the new Rhondda constituency but he was opposed by the trade union leader, William Abraham (Mabon).

The constituency had been formed following the Third Reform Act of 1884, as a result of the rapid growth of population in the two valleys over the previous twenty years. During the 1880s the demand for working men representatives in the ranks of the Parliamentary Liberal Party were increasingly vociferous and there was a precedent for a Liberal-Labour (Lib-Lab) candidate in South Wales as Thomas Halliday had contested Merthyr Tydfil in 1874.

The local trade union, the Rhondda Steam Coal Miners' Association, laid claim to the candidacy as early as 1883, on the basis that the franchise had been extended to many working men within the county constituencies and that in Mabon, their agent for six years they had the ideal candidate. The local Liberal Association, however, formed in early 1885,was dominated by middle-class business and professional men, and included a disproportionate number of colliery officials. Fred L. Davis's father, Lewis Davis of Ferndale, was selected as president of the association. Shortly afterwards, Lewis Davis was invited by the Association to be its parliamentary candidate and defeated Mabon in a ballot by 143 votes to 51. In spite of his selection, however, he declined and proposed that his son be the candidate. In a further ballot, F.L. Davis again defeated Mabon by 125 votes to 56.

The refusal of the trade union movement to accept this decision and to support an independent campaign by Mabon is regarded as an important watershed in the political history of South Wales. In terms of policy there was little apparent difference between the candidates, with the only notable difference being that Mabon supported the payment of MPs while Davis did not. The campaign was therefore waged on other grounds. Davis's supporters claimed that Mabon lacked legitimacy, having been rejected by the Liberal Association. Mabon's adherents, in turn, claimed that the miners' and held mass meetings throughout the two valleys to promote his candidature long before the middle-class-dominated Association was established. Davis's youth and inexperience was a major issue, although he had qualified as a barrister. There were also claims of intimidation on both sides. Mabon's supporters were said to be victimised at the workplace while several of Davis's meetings were disrupted by violence.

Class therefore became a major issue in the campaign. The vast majority of Mabon' supporters were trade union activists and working men, along with a relatively small number of tradesmen and professionals, some of whom had links of one form or another to the miners' union. These included Walter H. Morgan of Pontypridd, often described as the miners' lawyer. One nonconformist minister, supported Mabon, namely John Salisbury Edwards of Treorchy. In contest, Davis had the support of the vast majority of the middle-classes in the Rhondda, and natural deference together with the paternalistic influence of the Davis family, in the Rhondda Fach in particular, was a factor.

On polling day, Mabon scored a clear and decisive victory.

After the result, the Davis family accepted Mabon's victory and he was not challenged thereafter for the parliamentary seat. Following the election, Mabon's supporters established the Rhondda Labour and Liberal Association which shortly afterwards absorbed the rival Liberal Association which had supported Davis.

In 1889, Davis was elected to Glamorgan County Council and was immediately selected as one of the first aldermen. However, he served for only one six-year term and did not seek re-election.

title: Bioreclamation of degraded lands

text:
Large swathes of the Sahel region, which were once covered by grasslands, savannah, woodlands and scrub, suffer from land degradation. Soils have become degraded in locations where farmers have cleared perennial vegetation to grow crops and graze animals, exposing the soil to erosion by wind and water. In total, one-third of the world's population lives in drylands where land degradation is reducing food supplies, biodiversity, water quality and soil fertility.

The bioreclamation of degraded lands (BDL) system was developed by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), with the aim of helping reverse damage to soils caused by overgrazing and intensive farming. Laterite soils have a high clay content, which means they have higher cation exchange capacity and water-holding capacity than sandy soils. However, when they become degraded, a hard crust can form on the surface, which hinders water infiltration and the emergence of seedlings. The BDL system involves using indigenous water-harvesting methods (such as planting pits and trenches), applying animal and plant residues, and planting high-value fruit trees and indigenous vegetable crops that can tolerate drought conditions.

ICRISAT has employed this system to rehabilitate degraded laterite soils in Niger and increase smallholder farmers' incomes at the same time. Trials have demonstrated that a 200 m2 plot can yield an income of around US$100, which is what men traditionally earn from millet production per hectare (10,000 m2) in the country. Niger's rural women are often marginalised and tend to only be given land once it has become degraded. Using the BDL system has therefore also helped to improve livelihoods for women in Niger.

title: Common Core implementation by state

text:
46 states initially adopted the Common Core State Standards, although implementation has not been uniform. At least 12 states have introduced legislation to repeal the standards outright, and 5 have since withdrawn from the standards.

Among the territories of the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the American Samoa Islands have adopted the standards while Puerto Rico has not adopted the standards.

Alabama
Alabama initially adopted the Standards, but the state rescinded adoption in November 2013. Governor Robert Bentley cited federal interventions as a reason for his opposition, saying he was opposed because of "federal control of our education system. And I'm opposed to the Common Core because of the potential for federal intrusion." The state's curriculum, now called the College and Career Ready Standards, is still aligned with the Common Core standards.

Alaska
Alaska opted out of adopting the Standards, as said in How the Alaska English/Language Arts and Mathematics Standards Differ from the Common Core State Standards, published by the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (EED) "Alaska did not choose to adopt the CCSS; it was important to Alaskan educators to have the opportunity to adjust portions of the standards based on the unique context of our state." While debate persists in Alaska, the state has adopted its own new standards called the Alaska Content and Performance Standards that Education Commissioner Mike Hanley has described as "substantially similar" to the Common Core standards, and many local districts have chosen to adopt the standards even though the state has not. Parents have the right to opt their kids out of standardized testing.

Arizona
Arizona formally adopted the Standards. In 2014, Governor Jan Brewer signed an executive order that removes references to "Common Core" from the state's math and reading standards, although they are still aligned with the national standards. The name of the standards have been changed to "Arizona's College and Career Ready Standards." In the legislature, the Senate Education Committee passed a bill that would withdraw Arizona from Common Core. As of October 26, 2015, the Arizona State Board of Education elected to repeal the Common Core standards in a 6-2 vote.

Arkansas
Arkansas formally adopted the Standards in 2010. Multiple proposals during the 2014 fiscal year in the state legislature to delay implementation were not adopted.
Arkansas is a governing member of PARCC.

California
California formally adopted the Standards. Governor Jerry Brown allocated $1.25 billion in the state budget to assist with implementation, but also assured educators that Core-aligned tests will not be used as part of teacher evaluations through the 2015-2016 school year. The grant remains controversial with California teacher's unions because of concerns of the use and size of the grant.

Colorado
Colorado formally adopted the Standards in 2010. Citizen concerns about Common Core, however, have resulted in a bill drafted by a parent group to delay implementation and appoint an independent panel to look at the standards, with State Senator Vicki Marble agreeing to carry it in the legislature.

Connecticut
Connecticut formally adopted the Standards, but Governor Dannel Malloy has called for a delay in teacher evaluations based on Common Core testing, citing the stress of changing systems and saying "it's important that we relieve the significant demands on teachers and administrators and systems." In a public forum in Old Lyme, State Representative Marilyn Giuliano called on the state to "hit the pause button" on implementation, saying she had introduced legislation to delay implementation until legislators had heard feedback.
Connecticut is a governing member of SBAC.

Delaware
Delaware formally adopted the Standards as the ELA and math components of the Delaware Prioritized Standards. Implementation has been viewed as successful in the state.

Delaware is a governing member of SBAC.

District of Columbia
Washington, DC, has adopted the Standards. The District of Columbia's implementation is noteworthy for the speed and investment it made in the standards.

Florida
Florida’s first set of statewide standards were the “Sunshine State Standards” (SSS) effective from 1993 through 2007. The “Sunshine State Standards” were revised in 2007, introducing Florida’s “Next Generation Sunshine State Standards” (NGSSS) effective from 2007 to 2010. In later years, as the “Common Core State Standards” were quickly being adopted across the country, Florida adopted this set of standards under a revised name, the “Florida Standards”, introduced in 2010. The “Florida Standards” were aligned with the “Common Core State Standards” but also included additional standards, such as cursive writing for Florida’s 3rd grade students. In the year 2019, when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took office, he pledged to “get rid of Common Core” and to have a full revision of the state standards ready by January 1, 2020. On January 31, 2019, Governor DeSantis issues Executive Order 19-32 “Commitment to Eliminating Common Core, Ensuring High-Quality Academic Standards and Raising the Bar for Civic Literacy”. This required the full revision and “overhaul of the current “Florida Standards”. On January 12, 2020, “Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards” (for Math and English Language Arts) were adopted. This new set of academic standards, “Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards” stand for the “Benchmarks For Excellent Student Thinking”. In order to “replace Common Core”, ordered by Gov. Ron DeSantis, “The State of Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards” will be implemented in phases during the years of 2021-2023. These standards  will provide major clarifications and explanations for the previously “Confusing Common Core State Standards”. Along with “Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards”, new curriculum will be adopted and new assessment requirements will replace the current FSA (Florida Standards Assessment) tests. However the NGSSS Algebra 1 EOC, and Biology EOC will still remain. Additionally, a civic literacy test will be required for 12th graders beginning in 2021 and the elimination of the 9th Grade FSA ELA Reading Assessment and the 10th Grade NGSSS Geometry EOC Assessment will take place in 2022.

Georgia
Georgia formally adopted the Standards, but withdrew from the associated tests in July 2013. While implementation had been on track for the state, State Senator William Ligon filed legislation to withdraw from the Common Core entirely.
On 19 February 2015, Georgia formally renamed its standards the Georgia Standards of Excellence, which incorporate some revisions relative to the Common Core standards.

Hawaii
Hawaii formally adopted the Standards, with full classroom implementation beginning in the 2013-14 school year and aligned assessment beginning in 2014-15.

Indiana
Indiana initially adopted the Standards, but implementation was paused by law in May 2013. A bipartisan legislative panel failed to come to a consensus on continuing with the standards, and repeal legislation passed both the Indiana Senate and the State House Education Committee in February 2014, and the state formally withdrew from the Common Core in March 2014.
The state published its replacement, the Indiana Academic Standards, in April 2014.

Iowa
Iowa formally adopted the Standards as the ELA and math components of Iowa Core, the state's K-12 curriculum standards.
Common Core was adopted in Iowa in 2010, with full implementation slated for completion in the 2014-2015 school year.
Iowa is an affiliate member of SBAC.<ref
name="sbac-states" />

Kansas
Kansas formally adopted the Standards in 2010, but defunding legislation successfully passed the State Senate in July 2013, narrowly failing in the State House. House Bill 2621 was introduced in the 2014 legislative session, and would declare the standards, as well as the Next Generation science standards the state adopted in 2013, "null and void" in the state.
However, as of 2015, the Common Core standards, with additions specified by the state Board of Education, remain part of the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards.

Kansas was formerly a member of SBAC, but the Kansas State Board of Education withdrew from the consortium in 2013, instead planning to commission its assessment development in-state from an institute at Kansas University. Testing using this instrument will begin in spring 2016.

Kentucky
Kentucky was the first state to adopt Common Core in 2010 as part of the Kentucky Core Academic Standards, with curriculum rolled out in the 2011-12 school year. It was recently repealed in February 2017.

Louisiana
Louisiana formally adopted the Standards, but delayed full Common Core implementation for two years in November 2013. Debate is expected when the state legislature convenes in March 2014, but testing is still scheduled to be implemented for the 2014-2015 school year. Governor Bobby Jindal has signaled an intention to end Common Core in the state, directing the Board of Education and the legislature to come up with an alternative that includes "Louisiana standards and a Louisiana test."
Bobby Jindal curricular changes include rejection of the Common Core education standards for teaching English and math. In a response, several charter schools led by teachers and parents filed a lawsuit against the governor.

Louisiana is an affiliate member of PARCC and its state assessment "includes items developed through the PARCC process".

Maine
Maine formally adopted the Standards. The Maine Equal Rights Center has launched a petition drive to add a question on the 2014 ballot that would remove Maine from Common Core, but Governor Paul LePage has shown support for the standards.
Maine recently withdrew from SBAC.<ref

Maryland
Maryland formally adopted the Standards, although there has been significant resistance to the implementation in the state from educators, lawmakers, and citizens, including a planned push by State Republican legislators to withdraw from the consortium. Maryland is one of five states that has received permission from the federal government, under No Child Left Behind, to not test students under both Common Core and the state-level tests.

Legislation has also been filed in the state senate to delay teacher evaluation based on Common Core tests until the 2016-2017. This legislation is supported by the Maryland Superintendent of Schools Lillian Lowery. Another Senate bill has been filed that would leave teacher performance evaluations in the hands of local school boards.

Maryland is a governing member of PARCC.

Massachusetts
Massachusetts formally adopted the Standards, but delayed transition to the Common Core for two years in November 2013.

Michigan
Michigan formally adopted the Standards, although implementation was paused for a time and was later approved to continue without the Smarter Balanced testing.

Minnesota
Minnesota partially adopted the Standards. The state chose to adopt the English standards only, rejecting the math standards in favor of their own.

Mississippi

Mississippi is an affiliate member of PARCC.

Missouri
Missouri formally adopted the Standards. Opposition to Common Core has been labeled as paranoia by some state legislators, causing one State Representative on the education panel to add an $8 appropriation for "two rolls of high density aluminum to create headgear designed to deflect drone and/or black helicopter mind reading and control technology."

Montana
Montana formally adopted the Standards. Multiple Montana education award winners wrote an opinion piece supporting Common Core, and, among educators and legislators, adoption has gone smoothly, but there has been pushback by some who voice concern about state sovereignty and that implementation violates the Montana State Constitution.

Nebraska
Nebraska did not adopt the Standards. Reasons cited for not adopting included skepticism about the math standards and the lack of formalized standards being available at the time of adoption.

Nevada
Nevada formally adopted the Standards in 2012. There has been no significant opposition to the implementation, but the Department of Education launched a messaging campaign in February 2014 to quell a growing backlash in Northern Nevada.

New Mexico
New Mexico formally adopted the Standards.
New Mexico is a governing member of PARCC.

New York
New York formally adopted the Standards. The State Board of Regents delayed implementation for five extra years in February 2014 to give schools more time to implement, as well as offering teachers two years amnesty from being evaluated on the standards. This delay means that the standards will not be a requirement for high school students until 2022. Issues have also prompted the state's leading teacher union, New York State Teachers United, to withdraw their support of the standards "as implemented," also calling for the resignation of State Education Commissioner John King and a three-year moratorium on testing. Other implementation actions have occurred, however, with Governor Andrew Cuomo convening an oversight panel.

New York is a governing member of PARCC, but is not yet using their assessments statewide; in 2015 they are piloting the test in 25 schools.

North Carolina
North Carolina formally adopted the Standards. The state was one of the first to adopt the standards, but hearings were held in 2014 to discuss the future of the standards in the state, with Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest calling for a commission to complete a detailed review of the standards. The North Carolina general assembly will consider a bill in May 2014 that would result in North Carolina moving away from the standards while creating a new set of educational standards to replace it.

North Dakota
North Dakota formally adopted the Standards. A Bill proposed in the state legislature on 2/12/2015 to eliminate common core in the state schools was defeated 46-48. North Dakota is a governing member of SBAC.<ref

Ohio
Ohio formally adopted the Standards. In 2013, legislation was filed by Ohio Republicans to bar adoption of the standards. Another bill was introduced in January 2014 to end testing of students. In 2015, Ohio withdrew from PARCC.

Oklahoma
Oklahoma formally adopted the Standards, but tentatively withdrew from the associated tests in July 2013. Multiple bills had been introduced in the Oklahoma legislature to repeal the standards, and the standards were officially repealed in June 2014.

Oregon
Oregon State Board of Education formally adopted the Standards on October 28, 2010, one of the first states to do so. Oregon is a governing member of SBAC.<ref

Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania formally adopted the Standards, but Governor Tom Corbett paused implementation in May 2013 after finding a split among lawmaker opinion, and the state has announced they are withdrawing from associated tests.

Rhode Island
Rhode Island formally adopted the Standards, but, as of February 2014, calls for delays or repeal have increased, with State Representative Gregg Amore introducing legislation that would delay implementation.
Rhode Island is a governing member of PARCC.

South Carolina
South Carolina formally adopted the Standards, although the standards have been controversial. Governor Nikki Haley criticized the standards, saying "We don’t ever want to educate South Carolina children like they educate California children." A bill to repeal the standards beginning in the 2015-2016 school year was officially signed by Governor Haley in June 2014 after deliberation in the state legislature.

South Dakota
South Dakota formally adopted the Standards. Multiple bills addressing Common Core are in the State Senate, but a bill that would have replaced Common Core with a different state standard was defeated in committee.

Tennessee
Tennessee formally adopted the Standards. According to polling done by the Tennessee Consortium on Research, Evaluation and Development, teachers in Tennessee have a positive outlook on the standards and implementation. The Bradley County Commission, however, voted to back bills in the Tennessee House and Senate that would "discontinue the use of the Common Core state standards." Multiple proposals have been filed to scale back, delay, or outright repeal the standards in Tennessee. Tennessee passed a law to phase out common core in 2016. The new standard, The Tennessee Academic Standards, were implemented in English and Math for the 2017/2018 school year.

Texas
Texas did not adopt the Standards, and is not a member of the consortium. Governor Rick Perry opposed adoption in 2010, citing issues of states rights, federal intrusion in education, implementation costs, and "the adoption of unproven, cost-prohibitive national standards and tests."

Utah
Utah formally adopted the Standards, but withdrew from the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium in August 2012.

Vermont
Vermont formally adopted the Standards. Vermont is a governing member of SBAC.<ref

Virginia
Virginia did not adopt the Standards, and is not a member of the consortium. While the Virginia Board of Education opposed adoption, stating that they were "committed to the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) program and opposed to adoption of the newly developed Common Core State Standards as a prerequisite for participation in federal competitive grant and entitlement programs," a state evaluation found that the Standards of Learning were "generally aligned" with Common Core.

Washington
Washington formally adopted the Standards. Washington is a governing member of SBAC.<ref

West Virginia
West Virginia formally adopted the Standards. West Virginia renamed the standards "West Virginia's Next Generation Content Standards," and two bills have been filed in the state legislature. One bill, House Bill 4383, would delay implementation until 2016. The other, House Bill 4390, would withdraw West Virginia from Common Core completely.

Wisconsin
Wisconsin formally adopted the Standards. A bill was fast-tracked in the legislature that would have repealed the standards in Wisconsin, but it was pulled from the floor in February 2014. It is believed that the bill will be reconsidered in March 2014. Governor Scott Walker supports the bill, while the Wisconsin Schools Superintendent Tony Evers has written to the legislature in opposition.

title: Hunedoara County Prefecture

text:
The Hunedoara County Prefecture (, ) is a building in Deva, Romania. Built in 1889–1890 in a late eclectic style after the plans of architect Ignác Alpár, it houses both the prefect's office of Hunedoara County and the county council.

History

Permission for building the county home was granted in July 1885, along with a subsidy of 5000 Hungarian forints. The following spring, the council declared a competition for the completion of the construction plan. Among 14 entries Alpár Ignác was chosen. Construction took place between 1889 and 1890.

The building was considered a prefecture until 1920. Since then it has been used by different state institutions, and during Communist rule was the county seat. For a short time after 1989 it housed the town hall of Deva, and then became the seat of the prefecture of Hunedoara county. Since 2007 it has housed the County Council. A renovation began in 2007.

Description

The building is V-shaped and located in front of the fortress of Deva and the city park. The building is symmetric. At one point servants' quarters and official offices were housed on the first floor.

Upstairs a metersmeeting room is decorated in Neo-Renaissance and Baroque style. The nine-meter-high room is covered with a coffered ceiling and a wrought iron chandelier. The room is full of Neorenaissance decorations. The gallery and the door frames are decorated with the Hunyadi crest, featuring a raven. From the balcony a view of the fortress and the square can be seen. On the balcony are some empty statue recesses.

The roof is covered with green Zsolnay tiles. A high tower in the middle is notable. An indoor garden is behind the building.

title: Variophon

text:
A Variophon is an electronic wind instrument invented in 1975 by researchers at the University of Cologne.
It synthesizes sounds using the principle of most common brass instruments, creating sounds based on the vibration of the player's lips and breath and the resonance in a particular body. For this purpose, the instrument is played using a pipe-controller, while the pitch is controlled either by keys on the pipe itself or in later models, an external keyboard.
The Variophon can alternate in timbres, imitating a variety of wind instruments, ranging from the harmonica to clarinet, saxophone or tuba. The variophon has a processing unit, dubbed "the music cockpit" which the controller must be connected to. The controlling voltages of the blow controller and keys combine to influence the shape, width, and height of the electric pulses. The pulses it creates are modeled by the pulse formations of real wind instrument sounds, which is how the variophon replicates the sounds of these instruments.

History

The original Variophon, named the "Martinetta", was invented in 1975 by Jobst Peter Fricke, Wolfgang Voigt and Jürgen Schmitz at the Acoustical Department of the Musicological Institute of the University of Cologne, and was first manufactured by Ernest Martin KG. The controller of this original model is shaped and played similar to a clarinet, attached to it is an amplifier that processes the signals from the controller and plays back the resulting sounds.

In 1978, German instrument manufacturer Realton took over distribution rights and presented three new models at the Frankfurt Music Fair in 1980: The "Variophon Spot", a small box very similar to the original, but without an onboard speaker, the bigger "Variophon Standard" with speakers and connectivity for headphones, and the "Variophon Gig" that was intended for studio purposes, coming in a 19" rack-case. All three models have a number of knobs to modulate and filter the sounds created. Also, new controllers were introduced: Variations of the handheld blow controller with different keys, and a simpler pipe-controller on a chord that could be played  simultaneously with a keyboard.

Variophon in Use
The Variophon is used extensively on Talk Talk's third album The Colour of Spring.

In 2006, Voigt and Fricke returned to the University of Cologne and presented the Martinetta in a series of short videos.

text:
Plein or het Plein (; ) is a town square in the old city centre of The Hague in the Netherlands.

It is located adjacent to the Binnenhof, the meeting place of the States General of the Netherlands; the entrance to the House of Representatives can be found on Plein 2. The Mauritshuis art museum is located on Plein 29.

Plein was originally a garden, forming a part of the Binnenhof castle, residence of the Counts of Holland. It was used to grow vegetables for the court. The garden was surrounded by a ring of canals and intersected by ditches. As a town square, Plein was constructed in 1632 and was inspired by the Place des Vosges in Paris.

A statue of William the Silent, made by Dutch sculptor Lodewyk Royer, was installed in the centre of the square in 1848.

After having Crossed the Düna the victorious Swedish army occupied all of Courland where after they began their campaign against Polish–Lithuanian mainland in the winter of 1701–1702. Charles XII of Sweden was determined to end the hostiles between the Saxon and Polish armies before starting an invasion of Russia and so he sent his Vanguard of Alexander Hummerhielm to seize footholds in Lithuania before the arrival of the main army. On March 22, 1702 general Hummerhielm marched out of Kaunas to collect six cannons previously taken from the Lithuanian army after a fierce skirmish near the Jieznas castle. The Swedish infantry consisting of 110 men under Gustaf Henrik Siegroth traveled in carriages along the Nemunas River and the cavalry of 130 men under Hummerhielm walked alongside the banks.

Fighting near Darsūniškis
After three days the troops arrived at linkewitzhoff where after they continued their march the next day towards the town of Darsūniškis where Hummerhielm went with his cavalry force to scout a distance away from his infantry. Here he was attacked by the vanguard of Michał Serwacy Wiśniowiecki's army which consisted of roughly 6,000 men. The Lithuanian attack was repulsed and the Swedish cavalry started persecuting their defeated opponents until they were ambushed by the whole army of Wiśniowiecki. Hummerhielm was quickly captured but his men continued resisting until there were only 20 wounded Swedish cavalry men left who were all captured and the rest killed, except for one man who made it over Nemunas to report to the main Swedish army of their defeat.

Fighting at Neman River
Gustaf Henrik Siegroth, who still made his way up the Nemunas river with his 110 infantry had heard nothing of Hummerheim's defeat and so Wiśniowiecki managed to surprise also him with his vanguard, which was, however, repulsed. Siegroth then tried to make it across the river to safety but his prams got stuck on the river bank, whereof Wiśniowiecki encircled his force in a half moon formation and positioned four of his cannons on the high ground over the Swedish landing. The battle raged for two hours, with constant attacks and cannon fire, and on twelve o'clock Wiśniowiecki sent a Parlimentaire to request the surrender of Siegroth's force, whom, however refused. The Lithuanian forces then brought another three cannons opposite the direction of their previous four, to eliminate the Swedes with cross fire. One of the cannons got so close to the Swedish fire that they soon had to abandon it. On two o'clock the Lithuanian commander, who had been unable to break the Swedish defense, sent another Parlimentaire to the Swedes, telling them Hummerhielms force had previously been defeated and that there would be no reinforcements. Siegroth, however, once again refused to surrender, suggesting he would only agree if his army was allowed to march out avoiding being made prisoners. In turn, Wiśniowiecki denied the suggestion and the fight continued for another two hours, when finally, four o'clock, after six hours of fighting, Wiśniowiecki allowed the Swedes under Siegroth to march back to Kaunas, by then, six men of his force had been killed and another nine men wounded.

Aftermath

On 12 April 1702 the Swedish king Charles XII arrived to the scene where the outnumbered Swedish forces had fought and let disinter their bodies and reburied with all military funeral honors (muskets salute). Leaving the place Charles XII ordered to burn the town Darsūniškis to the ground on 12 April 1702.

The Swedish army was not yet officially in war with the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, however, the battle had been decisive in the kings' decision to fully start the Polish campaign, in order to dethrone Augustus II from the throne.

title: Chief Culture Officer

text:
Chief Culture Officer (2009) is the eighth book by Canadian author and anthropologist Grant McCracken. The book looks at how modern business attempt to connect with culture.  In the author's analysis he considers examples such as Dove's campaign for real beauty, and the I Love New York advertising campaign.

According to McCracken, the book is about highlighting the importance of modern culture for businesses, and in doing so, to create a position within them for a "person who knows culture, both its fads and fashions, and its deep, enduring structures": a Chief Culture Officer.

Synopsis

In the book, McCracken recounts how corporations that successfully adapt to the cultural changes tend to prosper.  His definition of culture begins with a distinction between fast and slow:

"Fast culture is like all the boats on the surface of the Pacific.  We can spot them, track them.  Slow culture is everything beneath the surface: less well charted, much less visible"

McCracken argues that when fast and slow culture meet, a convergent culture is created. He points to the preppy subculture as an example of a convergent culture that brands such as Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger have capitalized on. He also analyses the convergence of status, shifting from a class based value system to celebrity, and the cool convergence, an aesthetic that he states developed alongside the baby boomer generation.

Changing relationships, McCracken argues, between consumers and producers have created new opportunities for brands to connect with culture. He observes that whilst only 1 in 100 people create content on the Internet, the creator consumer dynamic used to be "1 in 10,000".  McCracken believes this change allows consumers to become an "active participant in the branding process". He refers to Converse's 2005 motto as an illustration of this change:
"We don't own the brand.  Consumers do"
For business's attempting to closely monitor culture, McCracken advises against employing "cool hunters" who "know only what suits them."  Instead, he recommends creating a position for a Chief Culture Officer who is aware of both fast and slow culture, a "creature of many worlds, captives of none."

Reception

Harvard Business Review recommended the book in their 2010 magazine, stating "a CCO is necessary for any competitive, consumer-oriented company". The Bookforum, however, declared the book "no different from the management tomes that have preceded it".
Since publication a number of corporations have created the position of Chief Culture Officer (CCO). Stacy Sullivan, the CCO for Google, was appointed by Sergey Brin and Larry Page to "enhance and develop" the corporations culture Author and Advertising industry subject expert Lorraine Stewart has also advised Advertising agencies to appoint a CCO, to "create sustained competitive advantage and increase their own agency-brand value".

title: Zeiller & Fournier

text:
Zeiller & Fournier was a short-lived French automobile producer.

Car production began in 1920 at premises in Levallois-Perret, and ended in 1924.   The cars were designed by racing driver Charles Fournier.   There is no connection established between Charles Fournier and the Fournier brothers who established an automobile manufacturing business under the name Établissements Fournier in the same part of north-central Paris.

Less than a year after the outbreak of peace, Zeiller et Fournier took a stand at the 15th Paris Motor Show and exhibited 1 6/8HP car which sat on a  wheelbase and was powered by a Ballot 4-cylinder engine of 1131cc.   The car featured an interesting 5-speed friction transmission and a chain final drive.   There was also a smaller car produced with a 904cc 4-cylinder engine from Ruby.

title: Riverside Inn (Leland, Michigan)

text:
The Riverside Inn is a restaurant and hotel located at 302 East River Street in Leland, Michigan.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

History
At the turn of the century, the tourist population around Leland was steadily growing. In 1902, seeing a demand for lodging, Jacob Schwarz constructed an inn near this location.  Schwarz constructed other buildings in the area, including, in 1912, a bathhouse that he soon converted into a dance hall.   Schwarz ran the Riverside Inn until his death in 1917.  His wife followed in 1918, and ownership of the inn passed to the couple's daughters, Blanche and Anna.  They ran the inn until 1924, when it was destroyed by fire.

Rather than construct a new building, they modified the 1912 dance hall that Jacob Schwarz had constructed previously.  The building was moved to face the river, an upper story was added, and the interior was reworked to make a new inn. Blanche and Anna ran the inn until 1957.

The Riverside Inn is still in business, under owners Barb and Kate Vilter.

Description
The Riverside Inn is a two-story Bungalow/craftsman-style structure, with a restaurant and bar on the first floor and guest rooms upstairs.

title: Sleeping Bear Inn

text:
The Sleeping Bear Inn, also known as the Glen Haven Inn, is a hotel located on M-209 in Glen Haven, Michigan.  It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1996 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

History
This inn, originally called the "Sleeping Bear House," was built in 1857 by C.C. McCarthy, using standard plans.  McCarthy also built a sawmill nearby.  Development in the area slowed during the Civil War, but after the war's conclusion settlement in the area boomed.  In 1865, McCarthy built a dock nearby, and the protected harbor of Glen Haven began to be used as a stop.  The Sleeping Bear Inn served as a boarding house for the dock workers and lumberjacks who worked in the area, as well as an inn for passengers travelling on the steamships.  It also served as a stopping point for settlers moving into the area.  A rear addition was constructed around this time.

In 1878, Philo Chamberlain, president of the Northern Transit Company steamship line, acquired the inn and the rest of the properties in Glen Haven to assure an adequate wooding stop for the company's vessels.  Chamberlain chose D. H. Day as his local agent.  Day lived in the Sleeping Bear Inn until his marriage in 1889.  In the meantime, he purchased the village of Glen Haven from Chamberlain, including the Inn, and opened a general store nearby.

As tourism increased, the Sleeping Bear Inn became more of a resort hotel.  The porch was enclosed in 1928.  However, usage eventually declined, and the Inn was closed in 1973. The National Park Service purchased the properties in Glen Haven in the mid-1970s, and used the inn as a dormitory for a time.  As of 2013, the NOS was seeking proposals for adaptive reuse of the building.

Description
The Sleeping Bear Inn is a two-story side gable frame building sided with clapboards. A rear addition was constructed later, as was an enclosed porch on the north and east sides.

title: Last Night (The Vamps song)

text:
"Last Night" is a song by the British pop rock band The Vamps. It was released in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2014 as the third single from their first studio album, Meet the Vamps (2014). The song was written by Wayne Hector, TMS and Ayak Thiik and was produced by TMS. It entered the UK Singles Chart at number two, matching the success of "Can We Dance".

Background
On 20 February 2014, The Vamps announced that "Last Night" would be their next single.

Critical reception
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed review, writing:"Co-written by hit-maker Wayne Hector (One Direction, Nicki Minaj), 'Last Night' is a sugary pop-rock anthem packed with carefree youth and mischief. "Yeah last night I think we were dancing/ Singing all our favourite songs," they recollect over fizzy guitar riffs and jump-around beats, before they coyly admit: "Think I might have kissed someone." It unashamedly plays up to its target audience, but with pop hooks more chewy and sweet than jelly beans, it has all the potential to pull in the larger crowd."

Music video
The music video was uploaded to YouTube on 26 February 2014. As of December 31, 2019, the video has almost 39 million views.
