title: ZHU (musician)

text:
Steven Zhu, known mononymously as ZHU (; stylized in all caps; born April 28, 1989), is an American electronic music producer and singer who has been active since the beginning of 2014, signed to Mind of a Genius Records. Until mid-2014, ZHU remained anonymous, asking to be judged by his music alone. His debut album, Generationwhy, was released on July 29, 2016 and first premiered at Coachella during his closing set in the Sahara Tent. ZHU's Coachella performance was praised, with a writer for the New York Observer suggesting that he could be "the next Daft Punk".

Early life
ZHU is of Chinese heritage and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He played in jazz bands and orchestral practices at school, and later studied music during college.

Career
ZHU's first track, "Moves Like Ms Jackson", a mashup of several songs by Outkast, was released anonymously in February 2014 and was positively received by blogs and reviewers covering electronic music. Other tracks appeared on the music streaming site SoundCloud throughout February and March, followed by an EP titled The Nightday in April 2014, which earned a number 1 play of the week on Triple J.

The first single from The Nightday, titled "Faded", drew support from Pete Tong, who named it an "Essential New Tune" on his radio show on BBC Radio 1.

In a November 2014 interview, Zhu's manager Jake Udell described the current music climate as "very black and white" and acknowledged that Zhu's race played a role in the decision to release and market his music anonymously, saying: "Some of us don't even know the limitations of our own prejudice. Rather than put those limitations to the test, we've created an engaging way for fans to focus on the music rather than who's behind it." Zhu stated in a February 2015 interview that "the project [ZHU] is all about art, and we try to make it about the songs and the response."

On May 15, 2015, Zhu appeared on Pete Tong's "After Hours" show and performed a 40-minute DJ mix, mostly consisting of unreleased remixes, and also announced the Nightday Collection clothing line.

Zhu's success carried over into 2017, where he was a featured performer in Ultra Music Festival 2017 in Miami on the live stage on March 24, 2017. His performance was positively received. Also in March, he released the single "Nightcrawler", which was followed by a second single "Intoxicate".

title: Frank Hedges Butler

text:
Frank Hedges Butler (17 December 1855 – 27 November 1928) was a British wine merchant, and a founding member of the Aero Club of Great Britain.

Early life
Frank Hedges Butler was born in London on 17 December 1855, the fifth son of the wine merchant James Butler and his wife, Frances Mary, the eldest daughter of Butler's business partner, William Hedges. He was educated at a preparatory school in Brighton, and at a boarding school in Upper Clapton. Butler then studied in France and Germany in order to learn the languages.

Career
Butler became a partner in the family business, Hedges and Butler, in 1882. He was one of the first people in Britain to own a motor car, buying a Benz in 1897, and was the first honorary treasurer of the Automobile Club of Great Britain. With Charles Rolls, he helped to organize races from 1898, including the RAC 1000 mile Challenge, in which he took part, accompanied by his daughter.

He was introduced to ballooning by Charles Rolls. During an ascent from Crystal Palace in London on 24 September 1901 in a balloon named City of York, he was accompanied by Rolls, his daughter Vera Hedges Butler, and Stanley Spencer (aeronaut). While flying over Sidcup, Frank's daughter Vera suggested the formation of an aero club within the Automobile Club. This, the Aero Club of Great Britain, later the Royal Aero Club, would become the regulatory body for aviation in England, responsible for issuing pilot's licenses and also playing an important part in the development of military aviation in Britain. By 1907 he had made more than a hundred balloon ascents, including the longest solo flight made in England in 1902, and what was then the longest cross-channel balloon voyage, from Wandsworth in London to Caen in 1905. This flight had not originated as an attempt to fly the Channel: the intention had been to observe an eclipse of the sun. In 1907 he published an account of his ballooning career, entitled 5000 miles in a Balloon.

Butler was the second English passenger taken by Wilbur Wright during his demonstration flights in France in 1908. He later became the first person to take a flying lesson at the flying school established at Hendon by Louis Blériot, although he never gained a pilot's licence.

He was an enthusiastic traveller, not only frequently visiting France, Spain and Portugal in connection with his business, but also travelling to the Far East, North and South America, Lapland and Russia. An account of his trip to Lapland, Through Lapland with Reindeer and Skis, was published in 1917, and other travel books include  Fifty Years of Travel by Land, Water and Air (1920), Round the World (1925) and Wine and the Wine Lands of the World (1927). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 1877.

Personal life
He married Ada Tickle, the daughter of a wool merchant, in 1880: the couple had two daughters, Frances, who died in infancy and Vera. Ada died in 1905.

Hedges Butler was an able amateur violinist and played as one of the first violins for the Imperial Institute Orchestral Society, which he founded in 1894. He was also a keen golfer, yachtsman and big-game hunter. He died in a nursing home at 29 Wimpole Street, London, on 27 November 1928 and was buried in Norwood cemetery.

title: Neapoli Voion

text:
Neapoli Voion or Neapolis Voion () also named Vatika () is a small town in Laconia regional unit, southern Greece. It is built near the south end of Malea peninsula, close to the Cape Maleas. It is 335 km southeast of Athens and 115 km south of Sparta. Its port is the gateway for the island of south Peloponnese such as Kythera, Antikythera and Elafonisos. Neapoli is the part of Monemvasia municipality and Voies municipal unit. Its population is 3090 residents according to 2011 census.

History
Neapoli is built on the same site as the ancient Laconian city of Boeae, built in the 10th or 9th century BCE by  the Heracleid Boeus. The city later became part of the city-state of Sparta. During the early Roman era the city belonged to the Koinon of Free Laconians and flourished. The city later declined and was completely destroyed in 375 AD by an earthquake. In the Middle Ages, the name was corrupted to Vatika, which is still used for the local citadel. In modern times in this place there was a village after the name Pezoula. In 1837 the Bavarian architect Birbach designed the street plan of a new town that was named Neapoli ("New Town").

An earthquake occurred on 18 November 2019 between Neapoli Voion and the island of Elafonisos at 03:25 local time, and reached an estimated magnitude of 3,6.

Historical population

Tourism
Offshore from Neapoli is the small island Elafonisos that is known for its big sandy beaches. There are other beaches also around Neapoli. These include the beaches at Neratzionas and Maganos. Near Neapoli, at the village of Kastania, is located the Kastania Cave known also as Cave of Agios Andreas. A village close to Neapolis is Faraklo. It was built by the Venetians and was the most important village of the area during Venetian rule and later Ottoman rule.

Notes
 Maybe the references are mentioned to the 365 Crete earthquake, writing wrongly 375.

Vet played youth football for Xanthos, FC Abcoude, Zeeburgia, Ajax and AFC, and came to FC Dordrecht in the Eerste Divisie in 2013. He made his debut on 2 August 2013, when he was in the starting lineup for the 2–1 win against MVV Maastricht as a replacement for the injured Wilmer Kousemaker. On 20 October, he scored his first goal against Almere City, as his club won 0–2 win. He made 23 appearances in the season in which Dordrecht were promoted to the Eredivisie. On 9 August 2014, Vet played his first match in the highest Dutch football league; in the 90th minute of the game against SC Heerenveen he replaced Joris van Overeem. This game remained the only appearance of that season and he was left without a club in January 2015 after Dordrecht terminated his contract.

Almere City
A month later, Vet signed a contract with Almere City. In both 2016 and 2017, he received a one-year contract extension, which would extend his contract until mid-June 2018. Ultimately, Vet came to 81 appearances for Almere in three-and-a-half years, in which he scored two goals.

De Graafschap
After his contract with Almere, Vet moved to De Graafschap, where he signed a two-year contract. In his first season with the club, he was relegated from the Eredivisie. A year later, the club was close to direct promotion, until the competition was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 55 games for the Superboeren, Vet scored seven times.

NEC
On 29 September 2020, Vet signed a one-year contract with NEC for the 2020–21 season, with an option for another season included in the contract. On 23 May 2021, Vet won promotion to the Eredivisie with NEC by beating NAC Breda 2–1 in the final of the play-offs. At NEC, Vet played in a more attacking role than usual, which gave him his most productive season hitherto. He scored eight goals in all competitions.

NAC
On 12 August 2022, Vet joined NAC Breda.

title: Nizamabad Airport

text:
Nizamabad Airport is a proposed greenfield airport in Jakranpalli in Nizamabad district in the Indian state of Telangana. The project site is located on National Highway 44, about  east of the city of Nizamabad. The state government of Telangana has proposed the construction of the airport in .

History
In 2008, the government of undivided Andhra Pradesh invited for expressions of interest to develop eight minor airports in the state, including an airport at Nizamabad. Each airport was expected to cost . The airports were to be built in  with a runway length of .

In July 2009, the government has scrapped the plans as no companies posted bids for the construction of the airport. The companies sought the construction to be infeasible due to low expectation of revenues. In October 2009, the government has planned to invite fresh bids for 4 airports including Nizamabad airport, to be constructed in . The government has offered additional incentives including exemption from value added taxes and waiver of lease rentals for the first seven years once the airport is operational. The Indian Air Force (IAF) had also objected to the proposal citing disruption of military aircraft movements due to commercial air activity.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) inspected the  site and gave its approval for the site in June 2013. However, AAI asked for a total of  to accommodate all necessary airport infrastructure. The cost of construction of the airport would be borne by the state government.

However, in March 2015, the government of Telangana asked its infrastructure and investment department to put the development of Nizamabad airport on hold due to lack of funds and restrictions imposed on developing new airports within  radius of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Hyderabad. Development of the airport would be considered at a later date.

Later in 2016, the government has finalised proposals for new airports in the state. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has given his nod for land acquisition for setting up airport in Nizamabad. Doubts were raised over securing approval for the airport since it cannot meet the norms of having a minimum aerial distance of  another airport which is already proposed in Warangal. In 2017, the government has proposed the construction of the airport in .

title: National Youth Orchestra of Canada

text:
The National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYO Canada, or NYOC, ) is a Canadian youth orchestra headquartered in Toronto.  The orchestra has given concert tours in every major Canadian city as well as trips to other countries, including the United States, Japan, China and countries in Europe.

History
Several musicians, including Walter Susskind, then the music director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and Ezra Schabas helped to found NYO Canada in 1960, for the purpose of allowing young musicians to gain experience needed to play in professional orchestras. In 1996, the delegates to the World Youth Orchestra Conference in Tokyo, who represented 39 countries, voted to award NYO Canada the “Best Youth Orchestra in the World”. More than 40% of the professional musicians in Canadian orchestras have previously played in NYO Canada.

Resident conductors of NYO Canada have included Victor Feldbrill, who served in the post from 1960 to 1964, and subsequently in 1969 and in 1975.  Georg Tintner conducted the orchestra for a number of years, ending in 1989.

In 2009, NYO Canada performed its first-ever concert which was streamed in its entirety over the internet.  In 2017, NYO Canada commissioned a large art installation titled Four Seasons of the Canadian Flag, to be displayed as part of their tour in the year of Canada's 150th birthday.  In 2018, the orchestra performed at Young Euro Classic in Berlin and at the Edinburgh International Festival.

In December 2021, NYO Canada announced the appointment of Sascha Goetzel as its next music director, for 2022 and 2023.  Goetzel had first guest-conducted NYO Canada in November 2019.

title: Sangeet Singh Som

text:
Thakur Sangeet Som is a BJP politician based in Sardhana, Meerut. He is former Member of Legislative Assembly from the Sardhana constituency.

Personal life and education
Sangeet Som was born in affluent agricultural family of Thakur Omveer Singh in Village Alamgeer (Faridpur) in Sardhana Tehsil of Meerut District. He completed his Secondary Education from K.K. Jain  Inter college Khatauli a nearby city in Muzaffarnagar District in 1997.
Sangeet Singh Som is married to Preeti Som Sangeet and has two children.

Political career
Sangeet Singh Som won from the Sardhana assembly seat with good margin. He is a very popular figure among the Hindu population of the area and has received various titles like “Hindu Hirday Samrat”, "Mahathakur," "Sangharshveer," etc. by different Hindu organizations.

2013 Muzaffarnagar riots
He is one of the accused in the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots and was booked under the National Security Act on 24 September 2013. Justice Vishnu Sahai Commission's report on Muzaffarnagar riots of 2013 has put him on top of the list of those it has found responsible for the flare-up. On 18 January 2017, Som was booked for showing clips from the riots as part of a documentary.

On 7 September 2015, Som alleged that the Samajwadi Party and the Uttar Pradesh police were discriminating on religious grounds in their probe in the Janmashtami clashes, which he said was biased.
Contested Indian General Election 2009 from Muzaffarnagar (Lok Sabha constituency) as Samajwadi Party candidate and finished third.

Sangeet Singh Som was named in legal cases related to the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots.  A special MP/MLA court in Muzaffarnagar accepted the closure report submitted by a special investigation team (SIT) of the Uttar Pradesh police in a case against BJP MLA Sangeet Som who allegedly uploaded a video on social media and others who shared it, triggering communal riots in Muzaffarnagar in 2013.

On 13 October 2022, a Gautam Budh Nagar Court found Som, guilty of giving hate speech and convicted him under section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant). He was fined and released.

Despite being known as an anti-cow-slaughter campaigner, documentary evidence revealed that Som had been personally associated with two meat processing and export companies, Al-Dua and Al-Anam. Al-Dua has been described as one of India's leading halal meat export companies which exports meat to Arab countries. Speaking with the Hindustan Times on October 9, 2015, Som claimed he was unaware of having been made a director of Al-Dua, and that as a "Hindu hardliner" it was not possible for him to engage in such an activity. However, the next day, Som admitted to The Hindu that he was a director of Al-Dua for about two years. As per The Hindu, Al-Dua's company website states:"Al Dua Food Processing are specialists in the export of quality halal buffalo, sheep/lamb, goat meat and hides."

On 11 February 2017, the day of the first phase of the 2017 Assembly election, Som's brother was arrested in Faridpur for carrying a pistol into a polling booth.

Political positions
Som favoured imprisoning Mohammed Akhlaq's family who died in the 2015 Dadri lynching. He also promised bail for the arrested accused in the case.

On 9 November 2018, Singh claimed that Muzaffarnagar should be renamed Lakshminagar.

text:
The Fahey–Murray ministry (1992–1993) or Second Fahey–Murray ministry or Second Fahey ministry was the 83rd ministry of the New South Wales Government, and was led by the 38th Premier of New South Wales, John Fahey, representing the Liberal Party in coalition with the National Party, led by Wal Murray.

The ministry covers the period from 3 July 1992 until 26 May 1993, when Murray resigned from the ministry.

Composition of ministry

Ten ministers retained some or all of their portfolios from the first Fahey ministry. There were a series of minor reconfigurations of the ministry between August and October 1992, when Ted Pickering resigned from the police portfolio, accused of misleading parliament and the breakdown of his working relationship with Tony Lauer, the Commissioner of the New South Wales Police, with Pickering and Terry Griffiths swapping portfolios. Pickering resigned from the ministry in October 1992.

The ministry lasted until 26 May 1993, when Murray resigned from the ministry and as the Leader of the New South Wales National Party. Ian Armstrong was elected as the Nationals' Leader, resulting in the formation of the First Fahey–Armstrong ministry.

Ministers are members of the Legislative Assembly unless otherwise noted.

title: Anthropogenic cloud

text:
A homogenitus, anthropogenic or artificial cloud is a cloud induced by human activity. Although most clouds covering the sky have a purely natural origin, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the use of fossil fuels and water vapor and other gases emitted by nuclear, thermal and geothermal power plants yield significant alterations of the local weather conditions. These new atmospheric conditions can thus enhance cloud formation.

Various methods have been proposed for creating and utilizing this weather phenomenon. Experiments have also been carried out for various studies. For example, Russian scientists have been studying artificial clouds for more than 50 years. But by far the greatest number of anthropogenic clouds are airplane contrails (condensation trails) and rocket trails.

Anthropogenesis

Three conditions are needed to form an anthropogenic cloud:
 The air must be near saturation of its water vapor,
 The air must be cooled to the dew point temperature with respect to water (or ice) to condensate (or sublimate) part of the water vapor,
 The air must contain condensation nuclei, small solid particles, where condensation/sublimation starts.

The current use of fossil fuels enhances any of these three conditions. First, fossil fuel combustion generates water vapor. Additionally, this combustion also generates the formation of small solid particles that can act as condensation nuclei. Finally, all the combustion processes emit energy that enhance vertical upward movements.

Despite all the processes involving the combustion of fossil fuels, only some human activities, such as, thermal power plants, commercial aircraft or chemical industries modify enough the atmospheric conditions to produce clouds that can use the qualifier homogenitus due to its anthropic origin.

Cloud classification
The International Cloud Atlas published by the World Meteorological Organization compiles the proposal made by Luke Howard at the beginning of the 19th century, and all the subsequent modifications. Each cloud has a name in Latin, and clouds are classified according to their genus, species, and variety:
 There are 10 genera (plural of genus) (e.g. cumulus, stratus, etc...).
 There is a number of species for these genera that describe the form, the dimensions, internal structure, and type of vertical movement (e.g. stratus nebulosus for stratus covering the whole sky). Species are mutually exclusive.
 Species can further be divided into varieties that describe their transparence or their arrangement (e.g. stratus nebulosus opacus for thick stratus covering the whole sky).

Further terms can be added to describe the origin of the cloud. Homogenitus is a suffix that signifies that a cloud originates from human activity. For instance, Cumulus originated by human activity is called Cumulus homogenitus and abbreviated as CUh. If a homogenitus cloud of one genus changes to another genus type, it is termed a homomutatus cloud.

Generating process
The international cloud classification divides the different genera into three main groups of clouds according to their altitude:
 High clouds
 Middle clouds
 Low clouds

Homogenitus clouds can be generated by different sources in the high and low levels.

High homogenitus

Despite the fact that the three genera of high clouds, Cirrus, Cirrocumulus and Cirrostratus, form at the top of the troposphere, far from the earth surface, they may have an anthropogenic origin. In this case, the process that causes their formation is almost always the same: commercial and military aircraft flight. Exhaust products from the combustion of the kerosene (or sometimes gasoline) expelled by engines provide water vapor to this region of the troposphere.

In addition, the strong contrast between the cold air of the high troposphere layers and the warm and moist air ejected by aircraft engines causes rapid sublimation of water vapor, forming small ice crystals. This process is also enhanced by the presence of abundant nuclei of condensation produced as a result of combustion. These clouds are commonly known as condensation trails (contrails), and are initially lineal cirrus clouds that could be called Cirrus homogenitus (Cih). The large temperature difference between the air exhausted and the ambient air generates small-scale convection processes, which favor the evolution of the condensation trails to Cirrocumulus homogenitus (Cch).

Depending on the atmospheric conditions at the upper part of the troposphere, where the plane is flying, these high clouds rapidly disappear or persist. When the air is dry and stable, the water rapidly evaporates inside the contrails and can only observed up to several hundreds of meters from the plane. On the other hand, if humidity is high enough, there exists an ice oversaturation, and the homogenitus get wide and can exist for hours. In the later case, depending on the wind conditions, Cch may evolve to  Cirrus homogenitus (Cih) or Cirrostratus homogenitus (Csh). The existence and persistence of these three types of high anthropogenic clouds may indicate the approximation of air stability. In some cases, when there is a large density of air traffic, these high homogenitus may inhibit the formation of natural high clouds, because the contrails capture most of the water vapor.

Low homogenitus

The lowest part of the atmosphere is the region most influenced by human activity, through the emission of water vapor, warm air, and condensation nuclei. When the atmosphere is stable, the additional contribution of warm and moist air from emissions enhances fog formation or produces layers of Stratus homogenitus (Sth). If the air is not stable, this warm and moist air emitted by human activities creates a convective movement that can reach the lifted condensation level, producing an anthropogenic cumulus cloud, or Cumulus homogenitus (Cuh). This type of clouds may be also observed over the polluted air covering some cities and industrial areas under high-pressure conditions.

Stratocumulus homogenitus (Sch) are anthropogenic clouds that may be formed by the evolution of Sth in a slightly unstable atmosphere or of Cuh in a stable atmosphere.

Finally, the large, towering Cumulonimbus (Cb) presents such a great vertical development that only in some particular cases can they be created by anthropic causes. For instance, large fires may cause the formation of flammagenitus clouds, which can evolve to Cumulonimbus flammagenitus (CbFg, or CbFgh if anthropogenic); very large explosions, such as nuclear explosions, produce mushroom clouds, a distinctive subtype of cumulonimbus flammagenitus.

Experiments

Anthropogenic cloud can be generated in laboratory or in situ to study its properties or use it for other purpose. A cloud chambers is a sealed environment containing a supersaturated vapor of water or alcohol. When a charged particle (for example, an alpha or beta particle) interacts with the mixture, the fluid is ionized. The resulting ions act as condensation nuclei, around which a mist will form (because the mixture is on the point of condensation). Cloud seeding, a form of weather modification, is the attempt to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds, by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud.  The usual intent is to increase precipitation (rain or snow), but hail and fog suppression are also widely practiced in airports.

Numerous experiments have been done with those two methods in the troposphere. At higher altitudes, NASA studied inducing noctilucent clouds in 1960 and 2009. In 1984  satellites from three nations took part in an artificial cloud experiment as part of a study of solar winds and comets. In 1969, a European satellite released and ignited barium and copper oxide at an altitude of 43,000 miles in space to create a 2,000 mile mauve and green plume visible for 22 minutes. It was part of a study of magnetic and electric fields.

Plans to create artificial clouds over soccer tournaments in the Middle East were suggested in 2011 as a way to help shade and cool down Qatar's 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Influence on climate
There are many studies dealing with the importance and effects of high anthropic clouds (Penner, 1999; Minna et al., 1999, 2003–2004; Marquart et al., 2002–2003; Stuber and Foster, 2006, 2007), but not about anthropic clouds in general. For the particular case of Cia due to contrails, IPCC estimates positive radiative forcing around 0.01 Wm−2.

When annotating the weather data, using the suffix that indicates the cloud origin allows differentiating these clouds from the ones with natural origin. Once this notation is established, after several years of observations, the influence of homogenitus on earth climate will be clearly analyzed.

Zaza Tuschmalischvili (born 15 May 1960 in Skra, Georgia) is a Georgian painter, living and working in Berlin since 1991.

Zaza Tuschmalischvili is now one of the most important contemporary Georgian artists.

Biography
Zaza Tuschmalischvili was born in 1960 in Skra, a small village near Gori in Georgia.

When he was nine years old he underwent surgery for an inguinal hernia. In hospital he met the painter and art teacher Nugzari Zhochuaschvili. Zhochuaschvili discovered the talent of the young boy and started teaching him every afternoon in an art school in Gori. At the age of 15 Zaza was admitted to an art technical school in Zchinvali, a city 30 km away from Gori.

After his graduation in 1979, Zaza did his military service. He stayed in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) for two years and during that time, had to employ his talent and creativity for political purposes. He was required to paint slogans and portraits, for example, of Stalin or Lenin, for International Labour Day and other events.

At the age of 22 he was awarded a scholarship and began studying at the Academy of Arts in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. He specialized in fresco restoration and studied techniques for restoring medieval mural paintings.

Between 1984 and 1987 he spent his holidays in the cloister Gelati. There he participated in the restoration of the apsidal mosaic of the Mother of God Church. In 1988 he lived and worked for nine months in the church Ateni Sioni as a restorer. Here he wrote his diploma thesis which involved painting a copy of a mural painting of the archangel Gabriel from the 11th century.

After perestroika and the fall of the Berlin wall, Tuschmalischvili came to Berlin in the year 1991.  He soon started to display his paintings next to the bookstands near Humboldt University.

In 1994 he met Annilie Hillmer and she became his gallerist. She specialized in Georgian art, showed his pictures in her art salon and at international art fairs.
(Annilie Hillmer founded the Georgia Berlin Gallery in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1997.) In 1996 the artist won the competition of the New Society of Fine Arts. His painting Harmony for Love, a tempera work measuring 187 x 377 cm, was displayed throughout 1997 at the underground station Berlin-Alexanderplatz.

Work

Zaza Tuschmalischvili’s work  is rooted in his home country, Georgia. Recurring and central symbols are the fish, the tree, the cherub and the bull. His painting techniques over the years have included oil, watercolor and tempera. More recently he has experimented with new techniques, blending watercolor and egg tempera, sometimes supplementing this combination with pencil. In his Cubist-influenced collages, shaped patches of color convey the light and colours reminiscent of both the Mediterranean and Zaza’s home country, Georgia. Themes that appear frequently in his work are love, childhood and play.

Zaza’s early paintings hava a relationship with Georgian mural paintings, in which compositional ideas and views date back to Byzantinium and Greco-Roman antiquity. In Georgia even the smallest village church was often painted inside and out with scenes of the Christological cycle and legends of the saints. Themes and motives are heaven or paradise, archangels and cherubim, or a king holding the model of a church in his hand. Zaza’s figures from that time are mostly one-eyed.

During the mid-1990s, Zaza’s image structure becomes more tectonic, and the narrative wealth of detail disappears in favor of a consistent composition which captivates the viewer.
After 2000, he almost completely leaves behind three-dimensional shapes. A pictorial depth enters the pictures instead, with a perspectival space deriving from superimposing individual surfaces (for example, Kiss Mask, Men with Mask and Romance, all created during 2003).

Although the artist is still working with bright primary colors, it becomes clear how consistently this coloring submits to tectonic structures. Where the illusionistic width of the earlier pictures gave the painter the opportunity to use different shades, he now opts for a more basic approach, which usually consists of two to three color scales which interweave with each other. From 2004 onwards, this is done in a prismatic manner, so that the composition becomes increasingly transparent, gaining in depth of perspective (The City and Composition 7, both 2004).

title: Lilian Cup

text:
The Lililan Cup (, Gvia Lililan), which was also known as The League Cup (, Gvia HaLiga) was an Israeli men's football competition open to the top 4 clubs in Liga Leumit between 1981–82 and 1988–89. The competition was contested at the start of each football season. It was cancelled after the 1989 tournament.

History
The competition was established in 1982, as a season opening tournament, and was named after Yehuda Lilian, a former IFA treasurer and Hapoel member, who died in February 1982.

Parallel to this competition the IFA also held the Israel Super Cup, which was played at the end of the season, and the Toto Cup, which was played throughout the season, mostly on weekdays.

Due to dwindling interest in the competition, and the preference to give more weight to hold most of the Toto Cup matches before the beginning of the league season, the cup was cancelled in 1989.

Format
The format of the competition varied during its years between a straight knock-out competition, held in two match days, and between a preliminary group, played as a single round-robin tournament, followed by a third place match and final.

Results

1. Third place match wasn't played.

title: Bluecoat School, Bath

text:
Bluecoat School was a former school in Sawclose in Bath, Somerset, England. The school was founded in 1711 and operated as a charity offering free education to Anglican boys and girls. The building, which was rebuilt in 1860, is now known as Bluecoat House.

History
The school was created in 1711 by Robert Nelson when he established a public subscription to provide the funding. Nelson died three years later and a building was not started until 1722, using a design by William Killigrew.

Benjamin Godwin, who gained a place at the school in the 1790s because of his mother's Anglican connections, describes how the school supplied free education to 55 pupils. The children were supplied with all materials and uniforms.

Killigrew's building was demolished in 1859 and a new "Northern renaissance" style building was created. This development, by John Elkington Gill and the city architect George Phillips Manners, was part of a restyling of that part of the city. This building continued as a school. It was sold in 1921 and eventually was used by the local government for offices. The building was designated as Grade II listed in 1975. Today it is possible to rent an apartment in the building which is now called Bluecoat House.

The Sawclose immediately to the west of the building is a pedestrian-friendly shared space for pedestrians, cyclists and cars.

title: Sexycop

text:
Sexycop () 1976 Italian crime comedy film directed by Duccio Tessari. It is based on the novel with the same name written by  Massimo Felisatti and Fabio Pittorru.

Plot

Cast
Christian De Sica as Vito Militiello
Carole André as "La Madama"
Tom Skerritt as Jack
Ines Pellegrini as Irma
Oreste Lionello as Inspector Solmi
Ettore Manni as Sante Tonnaro
Gigi Ballista as The Venetian
Francesco De Rosa as Squillace

Production
Sexycop was based on the novel La Madama written by Massimo Felisatti and Fabio Pittorru. The term Madama itself, was a Rome-based slang for Italy's mobile police, similar to the English slang "the fuzz". The book was the third in a series of novels and was adapted to film by director Duccio Tessari who turned the film into more of a comedy oriented film.

Release
Sexycop was distributed theatrically in Italy by Titanus on 16 January 1976. It grossed a total of 173,627,420 Italian lire domestically. The film has also been released as La Madama l'agente Minchiello e il caso Patacchioni. Italian film historian Roberto Curti described the Italian box office as "disappointing".

Reception
Curti stated that contemporary critics "ravaged the film". Corriere della Sera's Renato Palazzo found the film to be closer to "the childish comic-adventure series starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill" noting that "this formula has been frayed for a long time." Orio Caldiron of La Rivista del cinematografo stated that although Tessari has never been a master filmmaker, wondered how far he could have lost his way with the film.

title: Trainline EU

text:
Trainline Europe (previously Captain Train, Capitaine Train) is the European arm of Trainline, Europe's leading train and coach app. Through either its web interface or mobile apps, customers can purchase tickets for a variety of European rail operators. It also has loyalty cards or vouchers and with e-ticket support. In 2016, Captain Train was acquired by Trainline.

Service
The service does not require the creation of a user account, but with an account, tickets can be saved and pre-booked for a certain amount of time (without requiring payment). It also stores applicable fare information (such as age and loyalty cards) in addition to preferences and patterns of travel (such as comfort class and frequently searched for destinations). The customer can then compare itineraries between any two stations served by the included railway services, and reserve, buy or cancel tickets. The service prefers e-tickets, where available, over traditional physical tickets. Any vouchers or coupons offered by carriers are accepted for payment. Once a ticket is booked, it is saved in the user account which can be accessed via web interface or one of the service's respective apps.

Captain Train can be accessed either via a web application, which is compatible with tablet browsers (running either iOS or Android), or via apps for iOS or Android smartphones.

Captain Train covers the following railway companies: SNCF (including its subsidiaries Ouigo and Ouibus), Deutsche Bahn, ÖBB including night trains under the Nightjet brand, Renfe, Eurostar, Thalys, Lyria, Trenitalia, Italo, Thello, Trenord, WESTbahn, and Leo Express. Its service therefore covers all of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and extends into all neighbouring countries: the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland. The service is available in French (including Swiss French), English (including British English and American English), German (including Austrian German and Swiss German), Spanish, Italian (including Swiss Italian), Portuguese (including European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese), Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian.

Captain Train works through the carriers' own reservation systems for all searches and transactions; it acts strictly as an intermediary between them and passengers, and does not hold the tickets which it buys and resells. Prices are those charged by the carriers, with no added service charge; Captain Train receives a commission from the carrier on each ticket sale.

History
Captain Train was created by three young engineers: Jean-Daniel Guyot, Martin Ottenwaelter and Valentin Surrel. Finding Voyages-sncf.com insufficiently intuitive to use, they aimed to create an easy-to-use, advertising-free ticket booking service.

On 5 February 2009, the French national competition regulator, the Autorité de la concurrence, found SNCF in breach of the code of commerce for unequal treatment of travel agencies and ordered the railway to pay  euro in fines. This led to a relaxation of access requirements for the SNCF's reservation systems, and the project that became Captain Train was launched three days later, on 8 February.

In May 2009, Elégantes Solutions SAS, later to be renamed Capitaine Train SAS, became licensed as a travel agency and began negotiations and testing to enable the necessary access to the SNCF reservation systems. A request for full access, including post-sale processing, was made in April 2010, but received no response. A contract for full access was finally signed in June 2010, after an update of Voyages-sncf.com, and access became effective six weeks later, in mid-July.

In October 2010 a closed beta version was made available to the developers' family members. In March 2011, access became available by invitation only.

Captain Train began selling iDTGV tickets in August 2011, Lunéa tickets in December 2011 and Deutsche Bahn tickets for travel in Germany and France in May 2012.

The company raised 1.4 million euro in venture capital funds in February 2012, 2.5 million euro in June 2013, and 5.5 million euro in December 2014.

The service was made publicly available in October 2012. At first it was accessible only through the web application; an app for iOS became available in late October 2013, and an Android app in March 2014. In 2015, the service reached approximately 1.3 million users. In April 2016, the number reached 1.6 million.

The service revised its management team at the end of 2014 and appointed Daniel Beutler as the new COO.

In July 2014, the company released an app for the Android Wear Watch, making it the first rail transport app to do so. In April 2015, the service also released an app for the Apple Watch. In March 2016, the company was bought by the British company Trainline.

From July 2018, Trainline sells tickets on behalf of 183 rail and coach companies.

title: Vidyapati (film)

text:
Vidyapati is a 1937 Bengali biopic film directed by Debaki Bose for New Theatres. It starred Pahari Sanyal as  Vidyapati. His costars in the film were Kanan Devi, Prithviraj Kapoor, Chhaya Devi, Leela Desai, K. C. Dey and Kidar Sharma. The music was by R. C. Boral and lyrics by Kidar Sharma. Debaki Bose and Qazi Nazrul Islam wrote the story, screenplay and dialogues. The story is about the Maithili poet and Vaishnava saint  Vidyapati. The songs of the film became popular and the lyrics though encapsulating Vidyapati's poetry  were considered bold for its time. This however ensured the film garnered crowds at the theatres making it a big success of 1937.

Plot
King Shiva Singha (Prithviraj Kapoor) and His queen Lakshmi (Chhaya Devi) invite the poet Vidyapati (Pahari Sanyal) to their palace. He arrives with his constant companion Anuradha (Kanan Devi). The queen finds herself getting attracted to Vidyapati’s poetry and falls in love with him. This causes great anguish to the king who in his distress abandons his responsibilities and turns to Anuradha. The troubled Queen decides to kill herself and when the Prime Minister gets to hear of it he encourages her as he feels that Vidyapati’s sensuous bold poetry has had a detrimental effect on the king. The king, in the end, sends for his queen through Anuradha. He notices that she is lying there in the same position and starts crying realizing the queen is dead. Anuradha and Shiva try getting Lakshmi to get up without success.

Production
The film is thought to be Debaki Bose’s most adept directorial venture. The tight close-ups helped the narration of the story which focused on the poetry and songs. The films in those days tended to be heroine-centric and though the film was called Vidyapati the main star of the film was Kanan Devi. Her convincing performance became the main support of the film along with a strong script.

Critical reception
Prithviraj Kapoor’s performance was rated high by Baburao Patel, the editor of Filmindia, while also appreciating the "newcomer" Mohammed Ishaq.  He called Debaki Bose’s direction a "fine poem of art" and Bose "truly a great director".

The film was used by Guru Dutt in his film Kaagaz Ke Phool (1959) as a tribute to the Studio Era by showing the character Suresh in the balcony of the theatre where Vidyapati is being watched by a packed audience.

Soundtrack
The music director R. C. Boral brought in western influences by making use of the organ and piano in his music direction. The impact was successful with popular as well as classic tunes being used and the songs were highly appreciated. The role of Anuradha which Kanan Devi enacted was created by Nazrul Islam. Her songs like "More Angana Mein Aaye Aali" and her duets with K. C. Dey made her the top female singing star on par with K. L. Saigal at New Theatres. Kidar Sharma left New Theatres following differences between him and Debaki Bose but not before making a tremendous name for himself following his lyrics in Devdas (1935) and Vidyapati.

title: Steve Way

text:
Steve Way (born 6 July 1974) is a British long-distance runner.  He is the holder of the British 100 km record, after winning the 2014 British Championship in a time of 6:19:20 at the age of 39.  He only began running seriously in 2007 to overcome lifestyle-related health issues, when he weighed over 100 kg.  , he has run the London Marathon in under 2:20 four times, breaking the Commonwealth Games qualifying time of 2:17 for the first time in 2014.  He represented England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, coming in 10th overall, first for England, setting a new British veterans record with a personal best of 2:15:16.  Following his 2014 performances, the media has lauded him as the 100 kg, 20-a-day man turned elite athlete.

Running career
Way entered his first marathon in 2006 and with only three weeks' training, finished in 3:07:08. He did not run again until 2007, when he started running in order to get fit, having weighed over 100 kg, smoked 20 cigarettes a day and subsisting on a diet of high-fat and high-sugar junk food.

In order to make time for his training, running 130 miles a week, Way gave up a lucrative career in IT with long hours at Barclays Bank for a 9-5 clerical role.

Following a 24-week training programme, Way ran the 2008 London Marathon with the goal of breaking 3 hours. He finished 100th in a time of 2:35:12. He began training with a running club and entered the 2009 London Marathon, this time finishing in 2:25:00. In 2010 he ran it in under 2:20 for the first time, repeating the achievement in 2011 and 2012. Injury prevented him from competing in 2013.

On 13 April 2014 Way came 15th in the 2014 London Marathon with a race time of 2:16:27, having started some way behind the elite field in the sub-2 hours 45 minutes group. He was the third-best British runner in the competition, behind Olympic athletes Mo Farah and Chris Thompson, achieving the qualifying standard for the Commonwealth Games with 33 seconds to spare. He had not intended to race, instead planning to use the event as preparation for the 100 km British Championship in May. After the initial busy stages, he caught up with the 2:15 official pacer and settled in behind him, running under 32 minutes for the first and second 10 kilometres, reaching the halfway point in 67:21.

In the 2014 Commonwealth Games marathon in Glasgow, Way finished 10th overall, first for England, just behind Derek Hawkins of Scotland. He ran a personal best time of 2:15:16 and also broke the previous British veterans record.

At the 2014 British Athletics National 100 km championship in May, Way completed the course in 6:19:20, coming in first place and setting a new British record. However, representing Great Britain at the 100 km World Championships in Qatar in November, Way was unable to repeat his form due to a stomach bug. Nevertheless, despite stopping repeatedly to use the toilets, he finished 13th out of a field of 200 runners, in 6:57:23 and helped Great Britain to Bronze in the men's team event.

In 2016, Way ran 63.75 km to win the Cambridge race that was part of the Wings For Life World Run.

In 2017, Way competed in the South African Comrades Marathon and, at his first attempt, finished 9th winning a gold medal for coming in the top 10 and being the first novice (first timer) over the line. Way became the first male British runner since Mick Orton, who won the race in 1972, to win a Comrades gold medal.

In 2018 Way won a string of races including: 50k Anglo Celtic Plate Home International @ British 100K Championships (2:58:03), Barry Track 40 (4:13:24), Dorchester Marathon (2:28:19), North Dorset Village Marathon (2:30:48), BHF Bournemouth Bay Half Marathon (70:32) & Bournemouth 10 (55:30). He then returned to the Comrades Marathon and, at his second attempt, finished 3rd in a time of 5:35:26 and won a second gold medal for coming in the top 10.

title: Eivind Nielsen

text:
Eivind Nielsen (18 June 186413 July 1939) was a Norwegian painter, illustrator and teacher.

He was born at Haugesund in Rogaland, Norway.  He was the son of byfogd (bailiff) Martin Nielsen (1823–1899) and Caroline Emilie Petersen (1830–1898). Nielsen was a student of Hans Heyerdahl and started at the Knud Bergslien art school in Christiania (now Oslo) in 1880. He studied in Munich until 1883. From 1885 to 1888, he was a student at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry.

His breakthrough as illustrator was the children's book  (Kristiania : L.E. Tvedtes Forlag) by Elling Holst from 1888, which is regarded as the first colored picture book in Norway. The book became widely popular and has been reprinted numerous times (the 17th edition was issued in 1998). He also illustrated the sequels from 1890 and 1903.

title: The Boat Race 1860

text:
The 17th Boat Race took place on 31 March 1860.  Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames.  It was the first time in the history of the event that the race had to be restarted as a result of an obstruction.  Cambridge won the event by one length, in the slowest time ever.

Background

The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  The race was first held in 1829, and since 1845 has taken place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having defeated Cambridge as they sank in the previous year's race.  Cambridge led overall with nine wins to Oxford's seven.

The challenge to race was sent by the president of the Cambridge University Boat Club to the president of the Oxford University Boat Club in the October term, with subsequent agreement to compete on 30 March 1860.  However, this was soon deemed unacceptable: the Cambridge crew were required to take examinations in the days prior and the tide on that day was "inconvenient".  As such, it was agreed to hold the race the following day, on 31 March.  Oxford were initially considered the favourites, but after Cambridge's practice rows, the odds evened.

Cambridge's boat was built specifically for the race by Edward Searle of Simmons boat yard and was  in length.  The Oxford vessel was the same as that used in the previous year's race, a  long boat built by Matthew Taylor of Newcastle.  The race was umpired by Joseph William Chitty who had rowed for Oxford twice in 1849 (in the March and December races) and the 1852 race.

Crews

Both crews were downselected from pairs of trials eights.  The Oxford crew weighed an average of 11 st 12.5 lb (75.3 kg),  per rower more than their Light Blue opposition.  Each crew contained four members who had featured in the previous year's race: Chaytor and Morland represented Cambridge again, while Fairbairn and Hall competed in their third race. Meanwhile, Morrison, Baxter and Robarts represented Oxford for the second time, with Risley making his third appearance in the event.

Race

The crowd lining the banks of the Thames was "immense", while the weather was "drizzly and windy".  Oxford won the toss and elected to start from the Middlesex station handing the Surrey side of the river to Cambridge.  Immediately after the starter, Edward Searle, had commanded the boats to commence, a wherry interrupted proceedings, blocking the boats' passage and forcing Searle to declare a false start.  It was the first time in Boat Race history that the event was required to be restarted.

Neither crew made a good start, but Cambridge took an early lead.  Oxford had recovered to draw level by the "Star and Garter" pub and led by half a length by Craven Cottage.  The Dark Blues were nearly clear by the "Crab Tree" pub and their cox Robarts steered across in an attempt to take clear water.  Cambridge's cox Morland called for a push to defend their course causing the crews to clash oars.  They passed through the central pier of Hammersmith Bridge, with Cambridge holding a  lead, which they extended to half a length around Chiswick Reach.  By Barnes Bridge the Light Blues held a length-and-a-half lead.  They passed the "Ship Tavern" at Mortlake, winning by a length in a time of 26 minutes 5 seconds.  As of 2019, this remains the slowest winning time in the history of the event.
