title: Landheim Schondorf

text:
Landheim Schondorf is a boarding school located in Schondorf am Ammersee with two separate upper schools and a lower school. The campus includes 27 buildings and a private dock on the Ammersee. The school’s motto is “Learning with Mind, Heart and Hand,” with each part representing a different type of learning: the “Mind” represents academic learning, the “Heart” an education in social skills and a sense of community, and the “Hand” a development of  artisanal, musical, artistic and athletic skills.

History
The boarding school was founded by Julius Lohmann in 1905 as a “home of learning” in a rural setting. Initially, only male students were allowed to attend. In 1929, husband and wife Ernst and Julie Reisinger turned the school into a foundation. The couple developed the basic structure of the school by assigning teachers the additional roles of houseparents, mentors, and workshop leaders; a structure that is still used to this day. Nowadays both male and female students are accepted and educated in a holistic, pedagogical approach with modern teaching methods, thus preparing them for the future.

School profile
Landheim Schondorf is made up of different types of schools: the state-accredited Ernst-Reisinger-Gymnasium (upper school), the state-approved Julius-Lohmann-School, and an elementary school.  Beginning in the eighth year, students choose between two branches: languages or economics. Landheim has a maximum enrollment capacity of 300 students and draws in applications from all of Germany as well as many foreign countries. Education in Landheim’s secondary schools is supplemented by mandatory participation in craft (including locksmithing, carpentry, gardening, cooking, photography workshop, and more), athletic (e.g. sailing, rowing, hockey, basketball, tennis, horseback riding and rock climbing) and musical projects (e.g. choir, band, and theater). In order to enable students of all backgrounds to attend, Landheim offers several merit-based and need-based scholarships.

Foreign language track
In their fifth year, all students begin taking English as their first foreign language. In their sixth year, students must choose either French or Latin for their second foreign language. Once in their eighth year, students in the languages branch choose between Spanish and French for their third language, while students in the economics branch take “Economics and Law.” Additionally, students may choose to take Chinese as an elective.

Student exchange programs
Landheim participates in student exchange programs with partner schools in Japan, the USA, Canada, India, Australia, Great Britain, Switzerland, Georgia, Albania and France. There are additional exchange possibilities with members of the international school association, Round Square.

Day students
In addition to the boarding students, Landheim also enrolls day students from Schondorf and other neighboring towns and cities.

Pedagocical concept
“The main focus of one’s education should be in the development of one’s character.” This principle from the foundation charter of 1929 remains unchanged to this day. Helpfulness, justice, honesty and responsibility are to be recognized as the fundamental values of human coexistence towards which education should be oriented.

Degrees
Upon completion of upper school, students may receive the Abitur, enabling them to continue their studies at the university level.

Partnerships
As of 2008, Landheim Schondorf is a member of the global school network, Round Square.

Notable alumni
 Steffen Ahrends (1907–1992), architect
 Christoph Probst (1919–1943), member of the resistance group Weisse Rose
 Helmuth James Graf von Moltke (1907–1945), attorney and resistance fighter

title: Hans Graf (pianist)

text:
Hans Graf (16 March 1928 – 9 January 1994) was an Austrian pianist and professor of piano.

Life
Graf was born and grew up in Vienna as a son of police lawyer Josef Graf (1895–1966), wirklicher Hofrat (an honorary title conferred on senior civil servants), and the former governess Rosa (née Kramreiter; 1885–1959). He received piano and violin instruction already as a child. In the final phase of World War II, Graf was drafted as a high school student to serve in an anti-aircraft defense unit where he served in Langenzersdorf as well as in the 6th district of Vienna (Esterházypark). He passed his high school graduation exam in 1946 and began to study architecture at the Vienna University of Technology. As a trumpeter, he became a member of the „Technische Tanz-Band“(Technical Dance Band, TTB), the dance orchestra of the University of Technology, as an extracurricular activity. In 1947, he passed the entrance exam in piano at what was known at the time as the Vienna Academy of Music and is known today as the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, where he became a student of Bruno Seidlhofer.
Subsequently, Graf terminated his study of architecture in order to devote himself entirely to music. Aside from his studies with Seidlhofer he took counterpoint and composition classes with Alfred Uhl. 1949 he passed the First State Examination and became a finalist in the 1950 Geneva International Music Competition. Having also passed the Diploma Examination in piano in 1951, Graf gave his debut that same year as a soloist at Konzerthaus, Vienna. In the following year he performed several concerts: 1952 at the 4th Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Brussels, 1953 at the very first International ARD Music Competition in Munich, 1954 he participated for the second time in the Geneva International Music Competition, where he was awarded second place, and again in Brussels at the 1956 Queen Elisabeth Music Competition, where was among the finalists along with Vladimir Ashkenazy, Lazar Berman, André Tchaikowsky, John Browning and Tamás Vasary.

In the meantime Graf had married in 1953 the Brazilian pianist Carmen Vitis Adnet. In 1955, he moved with her to Rio de Janeiro, where their daughters Maria Beatriz and Clarissa were born in 1955 and 1958. In 1957, he founded Seminários de Música Pro-Arte do Rio de Janeiro along with Hans-Joachim Koellreutter and others. In 1958 he followed an invitation by Hans Sittner to return to Vienna, where he taught a piano class at the Academy of Music (now University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna) until his retirement in 1991.
Starting in 1963 Graf frequently taught as an instructor at similar institutions in Europe (Seville, Bilbao, Porto), South America and Japan.
He also acted as a juror for international piano competitions such as the Paloma O'Shea International Piano Competition,and the Arthur Rubinstein International Master Piano Competition and also joined in the design of the Vienna Beethoven Competition initiated by Josef Dichler and Richard Hauser. Graf interrupted his teaching career in Vienna twice (1971/72 and 1974/75) to accept a visiting professorship at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University at Bloomington.
After heart surgery in 1985 he was forced to limit his concert appearances. But in 1989 another recording was made that was later published as a CD. It contained an interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach’s “The Art of Fugue” in Bruno Seidlhofer’s adaptation for four hands, performed with his daughter Clarissa Graf Costa.

He died in Vienna.

title: William Hanna (minister)

text:
William Hanna (26 November 1808 – 24 May 1882) was a Scottish minister, known as a theological writer and as the biographer of his father-in-law, Thomas Chalmers.

Life
Born in Belfast on 26 November 1808, he was the son of Rev Prof Samuel Hanna, a minister of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland. He studied at the University of Glasgow, going on to the University of Edinburgh where he studied under Thomas Chalmers.

In 1834 Hanna was licensed to preach the Church of Scotland. He was ordained at East Kilbride, a parish near Glasgow, on 17 September 1835. In 1837 he was translated to the parish of Skirling in Peebles-shire, near Biggar. During the ten-year controversy that preceded the Disruption of 1843, he took an active part on the side of Chalmers and his allies. He left the established Church of Scotland in 1843, joining the Free Church of Scotland, taking most of his congregation with him.

Having resigned his charge at Skirling in 1848, Hanna removed permanently to Edinburgh, where in 1850 he was called to be assistant to Thomas Guthrie, as minister of St. John's Free Church on Johnstone Terrace near Edinburgh Castle. In 1852 he received an honorary doctorate of LL.D. from the University of Glasgow and in 1864 an honorary doctorate D.D. from the University of Edinburgh. In 1855 he was living at 4 Castle Terrace facing Edinburgh Castle.

During his time in Edinburgh he founded the Mission Church at the Pleasance.

In 1866 he retired from the active duties of the ministry, being replaced by Rev George Philip.

He died in London, 24 May 1882. He is buried in the Grange Cemetery in south Edinburgh in the plot of his father-in-law, Thomas Chalmers (against the north wall).

Works
On the death of Thomas Chalmers in 1847, Hanna was asked to write his biography, and arranged a temporary exchange so he could reside for a time in Edinburgh. The Life of Chalmers came out in four volumes (1849–52), to which was added a fifth, containing extracts of Correspondence. Hanna also edited the Posthumous Works of Dr. Chalmers, in nine volumes. In 1847 he was appointed editor of the North British Review, but did not hold the post long.

Hanna published (among other books):

 Wycliffe and the Huguenots, 1860 (originally two series of lectures at the Philosophical Institution, Edinburgh).
 Martyrs of the Scottish Reformation.
 Last Day of our Lord's Passion, 1862 (this volume reached a circulation of fifty thousand).
 The Forty Days after the Resurrection, 1863.
 The Earlier Years of our Lord, 1864.
 The Passion Week, 1866.
 Our Lord's Ministry in Galilee, 1868.
 The Close of our Lord's Ministry, 1869.
 The Resurrection of the Dead, 1872.

Hanna edited in 1858 a volume of Essays by Ministers of the Free Church of Scotland, Charles Hodge's Idea of the Church in 1860, and in 1877 the Letters of Thomas Erskine of Linlathen. He circulated privately a memoir of Alexander Keith Johnston.

Hanna was also a contributor to the Sunday Magazine, Good Words, The Quiver and other periodicals.

Family
While at East Kirkbride, Hanna married Anne Simson Chalmers (1813–1891), eldest daughter of Thomas Chalmers.

They had a daughter, Matilda Grace Hanna (d. 1930), who married Alexander Watt Blackie.

Their son, Thomas Chalmers Hanna (1837–1910), was a chartered accountant.

title: Badminton at the 2015 European Games

text:
Badminton at the 2015 European Games in Baku took place from 22 to 28 June 2015 at Baku Sports Hall. The competition was held over a seven-day period and include five medal events in men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles. Approximately 160 athletes competed.

Qualification

32 quota places are available for each singles event, and 16 places (involving 32 players) are available for each pairs event.

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) ranking list of 26 March 2015 will be used for deciding eligibility for the event. There will be no separate qualification event.

The BWF ranking list on that date will be used to form a European ranking list by removing all players who are not qualified to represent any European NOC and this European ranking list will then be used to allocate places.

Singles players ranked 1 to 8 in the European ranking list for each singles event will be considered in turn and are eligible to enter, to a maximum of two per nation in each event. Singles players ranked 9 and lower in the European ranking list for each singles event will be considered in turn and are eligible to enter to a maximum of one per nation in that event. Therefore, for example, if an NOC has players ranked 1,4 and 7 in the European rankings, they will be eligible to enter two players; if they have players ranked 2 and 10, they will be eligible to enter one player.

Doubles pairs ranked 1 to 4 in the European ranking list for each doubles event will be considered in turn and are eligible to enter to a maximum of two pairs per nation in each event. Doubles pairs ranked 5 and lower in the European ranking list for each doubles event will be considered in turn and are eligible to enter one pair per nation in that event. Therefore, for example, if an NOC has pairs ranked 1 and 4 in the European rankings, they will be eligible to enter two pairs; if they have pairs ranked 3 and 12, they will be eligible to enter one pair.

Azerbaijan, as host, is entitled to enter two players; a maximum of one player/pair per event will be allowed. If additional Azeri players qualify under the regulations, they may also be entered. A number of 'universality' places will also be awarded to ensure a larger number of nations can compete in the event.

title: Lynne Owens

text:
Dame Lynne Gillian Owens,  (born 29 January 1969) is a senior law enforcement officer in the United Kingdom. She was made interim Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service in September 2022 before being confirmed as that role's permanent holder in February 2023, the first-ever such female holder (Helen Ball previously held it on an acting basis in 2021-2022).

She was Assistant Commissioner of Central Operations, then Central Operations and Specialist Crime, with the Metropolitan Police Service from 2010 to 2012, and the Chief Constable of Surrey Police from 2012 to 2015. She then served as Director-General of the National Crime Agency from 2016 to 2021, making her one of the most senior law enforcement chiefs in the United Kingdom at the time.

Life

Early life and education
Owens was born on 29 January 1969. Her father, Edward Crew, was chief constable of West Midlands Police from 1996 to 2002. She studied at the University of Exeter, graduating with a Master of Arts (MA) degree in 2008.

Rise
Owens began her policing career when she joined the Metropolitan Police Service in 1989. As a Constable, she was based in Catford, London. On promotion to Sergeant, she transferred to Kent Police and began training to become a detective. In the rank of Detective Chief Inspector, she became a senior investigating officer with the force's major crime department.

In 2002, Owens transferred to Surrey Police. She was appointed Divisional Commander of North Surrey in May 2003. In January 2005, she was promoted to temporary assistant chief constable responsible for specialist operations. This was her first experience of a chief officer rank. She qualified as a Gold firearms Commander during that appointment. Having completed the Strategic Command Course run by the National Policing Improvement Agency, she was made assistant chief constable responsible for territorial operations. She became the youngest person to hold the rank of deputy chief constable when she was appointed to the rank temporarily in March 2008. During that appointment, she headed an organisational change programme.

DAC, AC and Chief Constable
In April 2009, Owens returned to the Metropolitan Police as a Deputy Assistant Commissioner. In that role she was responsible for operations within territorial policing. She was promoted to Assistant Commissioner in December 2010, becoming only the second woman to hold that rank in that service. In August 2011, she additionally became responsible for the Specialist Crime Directorate and became head of the Specialist Crime and Operations Directorate. She was overall commander of the policing for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton that took place in April 2011, and the state visit by US president Barack Obama in May 2011. She was also part of the Metropolitan Police's senior leadership team during the 2011 England riots, for whose handling they were heavily criticised.

In December 2011, Owens was selected to become the next Chief Constable of Surrey Police. She took up the appointment in February 2012, becoming the first woman to head the force. In December 2012, her contract was extended until November 2017 by Kevin Hurley, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey Police. However, in a meeting in September 2015, Hurley revealed he had been considering her dismissal for a "failure of leadership" in relation to concerns about her record on child protection.

NCA and Deputy Commissioner
On 26 November 2015 it was announced that Owens would be the next head of the National Crime Agency. She replaced outgoing Director-General and former Chief Constable of Warwickshire Police, Keith Bristow QPM, in January 2016. Upon taking up the appointment, she became the then most senior woman in British law enforcement. In September 2021 she announced that she would be retiring afrom that role on medical grounds. She was succeeded by Graeme Biggar on an interim basis.

She did not apply to succeed Cressida Dick as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, but in August 2022 Mark Rowley announced Owens would return to the Metropolitan Police on 12 September that year, holding a six-month post as Interim Deputy Commissioner whilst a permanent holder of that post was recruited at the start of Rowley's own commissionership. Her confirmation as the permanent holder of that role was announced on 20 February 2023.

Honours
Owens was awarded the Queen's Police Medal (QPM) in the 2008 New Year Honours for distinguished service. She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2015 Birthday Honours for services to policing and criminal justice. She was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the Bath (DCB) in the 2021 New Year Honours for service to law enforcement. In February 2023, she was appointed as a deputy lieutenant of Surrey.

title: Isami Kodaka

text:
is a Japanese professional wrestler, currently signed to Pro-Wrestling Basara (Basara). He originally started his career in the Kaientai Dojo (K-Dojo) promotion in July 2002, but later left the promotion to become a freelancer, before signing with Union Pro Wrestling (Union Pro) in 2005. Through Union Pro's working relationship, Kodaka also began working for Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW), where he adopted his current, hardcore wrestling-based style. Kodaka remained affiliated with Union Pro until the promotion folded in October 2015, after which he became a founding member of Pro-Wrestling Basara (Basara).

Kodaka is currently in his fourth reign as the Union Max Champion, and his second reign as BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Champion, while also being a former one-time KO-D Openweight Champion and three-time DDT Extreme Champion. He is also known as one half of the tag team  with Yuko Miyamoto. The two are former one-time All Asia Tag Team Champions, two-time BJW Tag Team Champions, one-time KO-D Tag Team Champions and one-time Wave Tag Team Champions and have also won the Saikyo Tag League three times. Kodaka has also won both the BJW Tag Team Championship and the Saikyo Tag League once with Masashi Takeda.

Professional wrestling career

Early career (2002–2005)
Kodaka was trained in professional wrestling by Taka Michinoku at his Kaientai Dojo (K-Dojo) promotion's training school. Kodaka, using only his given name as his ring name, made his professional wrestling debut for the promotion on July 18, 2002, facing Daisuke Matsumoto. Kodaka left Kaientai Dojo shortly afterwards to become a freelancer.

Union Pro (2005–2015)
In 2005, Isami ended his freelancing days, when he signed a contract with the Union Pro Wrestling (Union Pro) promotion. Through Union Pro's working relationship with the Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW) promotion, Isami also made appearances for BJW, where he started a storyline with Jaki Numazawa and Mad Man Pondo, which led to him evolving his mixed martial arts-based wrestling style into a more deathmatch-based style. He was trained in the deathmatch style by Numazawa and Jun Kasai at their BJW affiliated School of Death training school. He made his deathmatch debut in 2006 and has retained the style ever since. In the deathmatch circles, Isami found himself a generational rival in Yuko Miyamoto.

In June 2007, Kodaka suffered a cervical disc herniation, which would sideline him for eleven months. Upon his return to the ring, Kodaka, now working under his full name, won his first professional wrestling title, when he and Masashi Takeda defeated Takashi Sasaki and Yuko Miyamoto on May 28 to win BJW's 2009 Saikyo Tag League and become the new BJW Tag Team Champions. The duo held the title for two months, before losing it to Daisuke Sekimoto and Yuji Okabayashi, after which Kodaka formed a new tag team named "Deathmatch Nichokenju", later renamed "Yankii Nichokenju", with longtime rival Yuko Miyamoto. In 2010, Kodaka made several appearances for women's wrestling promotion Ice Ribbon, where he and Chii Tomiya won the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship by defeating Jun Kasai and Miyako Matsumoto on August 7. On June 25, Kodaka also made an appearance for Smash, losing to Kushida in a "World Tryout" match. On January 3, 2011, Kodaka won his first singles title and his first title in his home promotion of Union Pro, when he defeated Kim Nan Pun for the DDT Extreme Championship in a six-man tag team captain's fall match, where he, Keita Yano and Survival Tobita faced Nan Pun, Cao Zhang and Choun Shiryu. On May 5, Yankii Nichokenju won their first title together, when they defeated Jaki Numazawa and Jun Kasai for the BJW Tag Team Championship. After an eight-month reign, Kodaka lost the DDT Extreme Championship to El Generico on September 19. Kodaka regained the title from El Generico on January 3, 2012, only to lose it to his own tag team partner, Yuko Miyamoto, on March 29 as part of an interpromotional rivalry between Union Pro and BJW. On April 1, Kodaka and Miyamoto also lost the BJW Tag Team Championship to Shinobu and Yoshihito Sasaki. The two bounced back on November 22 by winning the 2012 Saikyo Tag League and becoming the new BJW Tag Team Champions. On January 14, 2013, Kodaka won the DDT Extreme Championship for the third time, after defeating Keisuke Ishii. However, his reign lasted only thirteen days, before losing the title to Kenny Omega in a match also contested for Union Pro's parent promotion DDT Pro-Wrestling's top title, the KO-D Openweight Championship. On August 18 at Ryōgoku Peter Pan 2013, DDT's biggest event of the year, Kodaka and Miyamoto defeated Hikaru Sato and Yukio Sakaguchi to win the KO-D Tag Team Championship for the first time and become double tag team champions. Following their win, Kodaka and Miyamoto vowed to successfully defend their double crown hundred times. Yankii Nichokenju went undefeated for most of 2013, before losing to Speed of Sounds (Hercules Senga and Tsutomu Oosugi) in a non-title match on October 18.

On November 4, Kodaka defeated Shuji Ishikawa to win BJW's top title, the BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship, becoming the lightest champion in the title's history. On November 22, Yankii Nichokenju avenged their loss against the Speed of Sounds in the finals of the 2013 Saikyo Tag League to retain the BJW Tag Team Championship and become the first team to win the tournament twice in a row. Kodaka dominated Samurai TV's year-end independent wrestling awards ceremony, winning the Best Unit Award with Yuko Miyamoto, the Best Bout Award with Shuji Ishikawa and the MVP Award. Yankii Nichokenju's reign as double tag team champions came to an end on January 26, 2014, when they lost the KO-D Tag Team Championship to the Golden☆Lovers (Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi) in a three-way match, also involving the team of Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo. On March 23, Kodaka defeated Ivan Markov to become the second Union Max Champion. On May 5, Yankii Nichokenju faced off in a 300 fluorescent light tube TLC deathmatch for the BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship. Kodaka won the match, making his fourth successful title defense. On May 18, Kodaka lost the Union Max Championship to Hikaru Sato in his first defense. On May 25, Kodaka also lost the BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship to Ryuji Ito. Six days later, Yankii Nichokenju lost the BJW Tag Team Championship to Twin Towers (Kohei Sato and Shuji Ishikawa), ending their eighteen-month reign at seventeen successful title defenses.

On July 27, Yankii Nichokenju won women's wrestling promotion Pro Wrestling Wave's Tag Team Championship by defeating Las Aventureras (Ayako Hamada and Yuu Yamagata). On August 17 at Ryogoku Peter Pan 2014, Kodaka failed in his attempt to capture the KO-D Openweight Championship from Harashima in a three-way elimination match, which also included Kenny Omega. On August 24, Yankii Nichokenju lost the Wave Tag Team Championship to Sakuragohan (Kyusei Sakura Hirota and Mika Iida) in a three-way match, which also included Las Aventureras. Back in Union Pro on August 31, Kodaka and Fuma defeated Hiroshi Fukuda and Men's Teioh to win the UWA World Tag Team Championship. On October 2, Kodaka made an appearance for Pro Wrestling Noah, teaming with Yuko Miyamoto and Daisuke Sekimoto in a six-man tag team main event, where they defeated Atsushi Kotoge, Hitoshi Kumano and Naomichi Marufuji. After finishing second in the Dramatic Sousenkyo ("general election"), Kodaka was granted another shot at the KO-D Openweight Championship, but was defeated by Harashima in the title match on October 26. On November 21, Yankii Nichokenju defeated Abdullah Kobayashi and Ryuji Ito in the finals to win their third Saikyo Tag League in a row. On December 31, Yankii Nichokenju took part in Toshikoshi Puroresu, an annual new year's collaboration event between BJW, DDT and Kaientai Dojo, winning the Tenka Toitsu! tournament, held for the first time in a tag team format. On January 24, 2015, Kodaka and Fuma lost the UWA World Tag Team Championship to Masato Shibata and Shuji Ishikawa in their fourth defense.

Shortly after losing to UWA World Tag Team Championship, Kodaka and Fuma began feuding with each other, starting on February 22, when Fuma defeated Kodaka in the finals of the Get the Glory 2015 tournament, following outside interference from Kazushi Miyamoto and Sagat, with whom he went on to form a new villainous stable. On March 1, Kodaka unsuccessfully challenged Fuma for the Union Max Championship. On April 12, Kodaka returned to Kaientai Dojo, defeating Hi69 to win the Independent World Junior Heavyweight Championship. In July, Kodaka made it to the finals of Pro Wrestling Zero1's 2015 Tenkaichi Jr. tournament, but was defeated there by Ikuto Hidaka. On August 30, Kodaka defeated Fuma to win the Union Max Championship for the second time. On October 4, Union Pro held its tenth anniversary event, which also marked the promotion's final event before folding. The main event of the show saw Kodaka make his first successful defense of the Union Max Championship against Shuji Ishikawa, retiring the title immediately afterwards.

Pro-Wrestling Basara (2015–present)
On October 7, 2015, Kodaka, along with five other former Union Pro wrestlers, announced the formation of a new promotion named Pro-Wrestling Basara (Basara), set to launch in January 2016. That same day, Kodaka won the 2015 Dramatic Sousenkyo, DDT's annual general election, to earn a shot at the KO-D Openweight Championship. In October, Yankii Nichokenju took part in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW)'s Jr. Tag Battle of Glory, where they finished second with a record of two wins, one draw and one loss, suffered against Atsushi Aoki and Hikaru Sato in their last round-robin match, the de facto final of the tournament.> On November 1, Kodaka lost the Independent World Junior Heavyweight Championship to Shiori Asahi.

On February 12, 2018, he went to a time limit draw with Yusuke Obata for the Zero1 World Heavyweight Championship. Despite the draw, Isami used this to angle a match with duel junior heavyweight champion Sean Guinness and defeated him on March 4 to win the International Junior Heavyweight Championship and World Junior Heavyweight Championship. On April 5, Yankii Nichokenju defeated the Crazy Lovers (Masashi Takeda and Takumi Tsukamoto) for their third BJW Tag Team Championship. After losing the Strongest-K Tag Team Championships on April 22, Kodaka and Nagai were both kicked out of Magatsuki the following month. On May 3, Kodaka lost the Union Max Championship to Naoki Tanizaki where the Dove World Heavyweight Championship was also on the line. On June 20, Kodaka unsuccessfully challenged Masashi Takeda for the BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship. On July 21, despite a successful title defences against the Crazy Lovers, Yankii Nichokenju were forced to vacate the BJW Tag Team Championship after Miyamoto forgot to bring the belt to the event. On September 8, Kodaka travelled to the US to participate in the Game Changer Wrestling's Nick Gage Invitational 3, losing the finals to Masashi Takeda. On September 21, Kodaka fractured his jaw during a cage match against Masashi Takeda; he would be out for over three months and would be forced to vacate the Zero1 junior heavyweight titles. Kodaka returned on January 6, 2019, losing to Naoki Tanizaki. He formed the Sento Minzoku stable with Ryuichi Sekine and Daiki Shimomura to feud with Sparky and Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling; their gimmick takes inspiration from Dragon Ball Z with each member growing a tail to signify their power. Following an unsuccessful BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship challenge against Masaya Takahashi on January 27, Kodaka entered the 2019 Ikkitousen Deathmatch Survivor which began on February 28. After losing his first two tournament matches, he rallied and finished top of Block A with tie breaker wins over Abdullah Kobayashi and Jimmy Havoc. The Sento Minzoku vs Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling came to a close when Kodaka defeated Ken Ohka on March 23. They also won the Yokohama Shopping Street 6-Man Tag Team Championship four days later. Back in BJW, Kodaka defeated Toshiyuki Sakuda in the semifinals on April 13 before going on to beat Masashi Takeda in the tournament final. On May 5, Kodaka defeated Takahashi to win the BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship for a second time. As champion, he went on to win the Nagoya Lottery Tag Team Tournament with Sekine in May and the Heaven Summit Itadaki in July.

title: Hans-Wolfgang Arndt

text:
Hans-Wolfgang Arndt (born 1945 in Prague, Czech Republic) is a German lawyer, professor for tax law and former president (rector) of the University of Mannheim from 2001 to 2012. Previously he was professor for tax law at the Department für Rechtswissenschaften (department of law) at the University of Konstanz.

Education
He obtained his Ph.D. in Law at the Ruhr University Bochum in 1972, after having earned the first and second Staatsexamen in law at the University of Tübingen and Humboldt University Berlin.

Academics
Arndt worked as scientific assistant during the time of his second Staatsexamen studies and referendary at the University of Mainz. After having received his Ph.D. in 1972 and the following habilitation at the Ruhr University Bochum in 1977, Arndt conducted research and teaching at the University of Konstanz until 1983. In late 1982, the University of Mannheim (UMA) proposed Arndt a position as chaired professor at the Department of Tax and Public Law, a proposal that he accepted in 1983. In 2001 Arndt succeeded Peter Frankenberg in his role as rector of the university.

During his time as rector Arndt changed UMA's academic profile from a university with a broad subject offering to a university with a strong focus on interdisciplinary social sciences, business administration, economics, law and computer science research. This process called Profilschärfung (profile sharpening) took place between 2001-2008 and decreased the number of departments as well as offered subjects tremendously. Furthermore, Arndt pushed the development and introduction of an international business school at the University of Mannheim - the Mannheim Business School, that since its opening in 2005 has gained international reputation and a place among the best global business schools. Hans-Wolfgang Arndt's period as rector at University of Mannheim ended in July, 2012 with his retirement, his successor is Ernst-Ludwig von Thadden.

title: Federation Internationale de Savate

text:
Federation Internationale de Savate is the world governing body for the sport of Savate. The organization is dedicated to the promotion of the sport of savate and canne de combat. It currently has 63 member countries. The organization holds biannual World and Continental championships, while their member countries hold national competitions.

History
During the 1880s and 1890s Joseph Charlemont and Lois Albert synthesized the various savate methods and moves and created the "academic style" of the sports, but were opposed to adjusting it to fit the modern demands of the sport. By 1944 there were two separate views of the sport of savate: the white collar practitioners who were in favor of full contact ring fighting, and the academically oriented practitioners who opposed this.

In 1965 the "Comité National de Boxe Française" was founded. The two philosophies competed for control of the organization. In 1973 CNBF became the "Fédération Nationale de Boxe Française" under the control of the academic camp. Their opponents founded a new organization, the "Fédération Nationale de Savate-Boxe-Française". In 1976 the French government gave the official teaching rights to the academic camp.

In March of 1985 the two camps came together to found the "Fédération Internationale de Boxe Française Savate", which was renamed to Fédération Internationale de Savate in October of 1999.

Structure
All 63 member countries affiliated with Federation Internationale de Savate hold voting power in the General Assembly, which is held every two years. An extraordinary meeting of the general assembly may be called by the board of directors or it may be requested by 3/4 of the member countries.

At the meeting of the General Assembly management reports are presented, and discussion is held concerning the financial and legal situation of the organization. The General Assembly is the body that votes the president into power and which chooses its board of directors.

The organization itself if administered by the board of directors, who are a president, one or two vice-presidents, a Secretary General, a Treasurer, and a number of other persons who make up 20 members of the board of directors.

Rules and techniques
In savate only strikes with the fists and foot kicks are allowed, unlike kickboxing or muay thai which allow strikes with knees and shins as well.

 Jean-Marie Rousseau 1985–1989
 Alain Salomon 1989–1992
 Michel Roger 1992–2001
 Alexandre Walnier 2001–2003

title: Black Horn Long Gone

Black Horn Long Gone is an album by American jazz saxophonist Fred Anderson recorded in 1993 but not issued until 2010 by the Chicago-based Southport label.

Background
The title refers to the Selmer tenor saxophone Anderson played on this four-hour session. It features Anderson's trio with longtime associates in the AACM, bassist Malachi Favors Maghostut, member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and drummer Ajaramu (aka AJ Shelton), a veteran of the bop era. Both Favors and Ajaramu died before the release of the album. The last piece is an unaccompanied solo homage to saxophonist Clifford Jordan, who would die only two months later.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson states "Anderson plays with a lot of passion and conviction on avant-garde originals like 'Saxoon', 'The Strut Time', 'Bernice', and 'Wandering'; his playing is quite free and uninhibited."
The All About Jazz review by Francis Lo Kee states "For those interested in investigating Anderson's great playing and original compositions, Black Horn Long Gone is an outstanding place to start."

title: Vipin Vijay

text:
Vipin Vijay (born 1977) is an Indian film director and screenwriter. He received his post-graduate degree in filmmaking from the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute SRFTI, Calcutta. He received the Charles Wallace Arts Award for research at the British Film Institute, London, 2003. Vipin is the recipient of "The Sanskriti Award" (2007) for social & cultural achievement.
His works are made under independent codes and defy any categorisation eluding all traditional genre definitions and merge experimental film, documentary, essay, fiction all into one.

Early life

Vipin Vijay was born in Kannur and grew up in Calicut (Kozhikode) Kerala. His father, Dr. E. Vijayan Nair was a professor in the Department of mechanical engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Calicut. His schooling was at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Calicut (Kozhikode). Vipin graduated from St. Joseph's College, Devagiri, Calicut.

Career in film

His diploma film  at Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute titled Unmathabudham Jagath (The Egotic World) was based on the text of Yoga Vasishta. The film won the Kodak International film school competition in 2002. Film critic and author Amrit Gangar has cited the film as one among the ten best experimental Indian films ever made. The film premiered at the competition section of the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, 2001. The film was screened in festivals including Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, Montreal, Mumbai International short and Animation film festival MIFF, International Film Festival of Kerala and International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

The film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), 2002 and was shown in film festivals at Tehran, Milan, International Film Festival of Kerala, MIFF. Kshurasyadhara won the best Malayalam film commendation award 2001, Indian Documentary Producer's Association (IDPA), Best Director Award of the Kerala State Film & TV Awards 2001, and the National Jury award of the Mumbai International short and Animation film festival (MIFF) in 2002.

Video Game (2006), produced by Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT), premiered at the Tiger awards competition for short films. Video Game is the first Indian film to win a short Tiger Award", 2007.

The citation of the jury says that “Video Game is yet another illustration that there’s more to the cinema of India than can be contained with the received wisdom which seeks to encompass it by reference to a dualism opposing Satyajit Ray to Bollywood. Video Game shows a relentless, complex
post-modern intelligence as it processes everything within its view, within its memory, within its wide range of cultural references. Its title is an index to this complexity, as it evokes not only digital game space as an aspect of the real, but the pursuit of video within the understanding of a game, replete with strategies, movements, and countermovements. A new kind of road, indeed.”

The film also won the best film, Golden Pearl Award, Hyderabad International Film Festival, India 2007 and the John Abraham National Award 2006. The film was shown at International Documentary Film Festival Zagreb, Croatia, Centre Georges Pompidou and International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (2007)

He won his second Finnish Sports Personality of the Year in 2017.

In the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Niskanen became individual Olympic champion in the men's 50 kilometre classical. In January 2019, Niskanen was awarded his third Finnish Sports Personality of the Year for the year 2018, the first since Marjo Matikainen in 1987 to win the award two consecutive years; the first male since Kaarlo Kangasniemi in 1969.

At the 2019 World Championships in Seefeld in Tirol, Austria, Niskanen won a bronze medal in the 15 km classic event. This turned out to be his only medal at the championships as he finished fourth in both the skiathlon and the relay.

Iivo Niskanen started the 2019–20 season with his third 15 km classic World Cup win in Ruka and third place in the overall 2019 Nordic Opening. He reached the podium four more times during the season, including his first 15 km freestyle podium.

The 2020/21 season was something of a disappointment for Niskanen, who was left without any podium placements. In the WCH in Oberstdorf, he was in his season's best form, skiing a very strong 2nd leg in the relay and placing 6th in the 50 km classic, which he had won in the Winter Olympics three years earlier. However, missing out on a medal and a waxing failure in the 50-kilometre race enraged the ambitious skier.

In the 2021/22 season, Niskanen returned in stronger form and became the first Finnish male skier to reach the podium at the overall Tour de Ski, when he placed third. During the World Cup season, he took three wins and second place, all in 15 km classical. By placing fourth in the 50 km race in Holmenkollen in the absence of his closest rivals Alexander Bolshunov and Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, he secured himself the Distance discipline globe already before the World Cup finals in Falun. Niskanen is the first Finnish male skier to win the Distance World Cup.

The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing were a triumph for Niskanen, who won his third Olympic gold with a dominant performance in the 15 km classical and claimed a somewhat unexpected bronze medal in the 30 km skiathlon. Alongside these individual medals, Niskanen won silver in the classical team sprint with Joni Mäki, thus winning three medals total in Beijing. Niskanen has medaled in all three Olympics he has participated in. He is the fourth Finn to win three Olympic gold medals in cross-country skiing, the first to do so since Marja-Liisa Kirvesniemi's triple gold in Sarajevo 1984. He is also one of four Finnish athletes who have won gold in three different Olympics, summer or winter, after Paavo Nurmi, Veikko Hakulinen and Pertti Karppinen.

Personal life
Iivo Niskanen's sister Kerttu is also a cross-country skier and a four-time Olympic medalist. Iivo and Kerttu Niskanen are regarded as great sporting heroes in their childhood hometown of Vieremä, North Savo, which regularly hosts festivities following the siblings' Olympic and World Championship success. They are also the only siblings who have won cross-country World Cup races on the same day and place: this happened on 29 December 2021, when they won the 10 and 15 km classical Stage World Cup events in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. At the season finale in Falun, Sweden, the siblings shared a World Cup podium for the first time when they skied the 1st and 3rd legs of the mixed relay event, where Finland placed second. Niskanen's other sister Katri is a highly regarded Finnish fashion designer.

Iivo Niskanen married his long-time partner Saana Kemppainen in the summer of 2018. The couple resides in Kuopio, Finland, and Niskanen currently represents the local club Puijon Hiihtoseura.
