title: Web tasking

text:
Web Tasking is a set of web user interactions in hypermedia purposefully conducted for the performance of tasks. Web tasking is a term coined intentionally to contrast web browsing (understood as exploration of the World Wide Web by following one interesting link to another, usually with a definite objective but without a planned search strategy).

Motivation
The web was originally designed as an information space through which people and machines communicate and exchange information. Web browsing through hypermedia links is the primary web interaction model optimal for such purpose. As the web evolves, web users conduct tasks today in web interaction model that was originally designed for information search and exchange. Optimal Web Interactions for task performance was not the web's original design concern.

Web tasking is distinguished from web browsing. The user goal of web browsing web interactions is for information retrieval through users' traversal of ad-hoc, user-driven, sequence of hypermedia links. The user goal of web tasking web interactions is for task performance through traversal of user-defined, purposeful sequence of hypermedia links.

The most critical and common characteristic in both web tasking and web browsing is that web users have freedom to act autonomously, with web interactions constrained to hypermedia links, without any programming requirement nor dependency.

Web tasking, by definition, is the web interaction by which web users freely construct & automate their own tasks, using resources of their choice from across web, but independent of IT, like the freedom of interactions users experience in web browsing for information retrieval. Web tasking inter-operates seamlessly across resources from internet of things; or from enterprises' systems of record; or from other web sources. Then captured in a special media type, so that machine can execute, honoring conditions of execution that user-specified. Machine executes user-construct tasks on user's behalf through hypermedia links,

History
The term "Web Tasking" was originally coined by two researchers from IBM Canada CAS Research, Joanna Ng and Diana H. Lau, in "Going Beyond Web Browsing to Web Tasking: Transforming Web Users from Web Operators to Web Supervisors" to depict a set or a sequence of web interactions through hypermedia links for the purpose of performance of tasks. Task elements typically may include a goal, a set of information cues, an action and an outcome (or product). The interaction model of web browsing works well for the web’s original purpose of information search and retrieval. Though the purpose of the web has been extended beyond information search and retrieval into hypermedia-based task executions, the original web interaction model has not been enhanced for native web tasking support.

The first international academic conference about the subject was held in June, 2013 IEEE 2013 Services Conference First International Workshop on Personalized Web Tasking.

The second international academic conference was held in June/July, 2014 Second International Conference for Personalized Web Tasking

Scope
Like web browsing, web tasking is distributed in scope and RESTful in nature. The progress of tasks takes place as application states are being transitioned to the next through hypermedia. The model of web tasking complies with the application constraint of “Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State” (HATEOAS).

Web tasking are users' interactions upon web resources that are typically distributed in nature for the purpose of performance of tasks. Actors of Interactions in web tasking can be a web user or a machine acting on behalf of web users. Web tasking execution complies with the RESTful principled design of the web architecture, and therefore can be executed across distributed domains of the Web.

Other aspects of Web Tasking has been established:
 Context, Situation Awareness and web tasking
University of Victoria contribution of Context to Web Tasking
 Task simplification in web tasking

 Self adaptation in web tasking

title: Western Romanian Carpathians

text:
The Western Romanian Carpathians (, ), along with the Eastern Romanian Carpathians and the Southern Carpathians is one of the three main mountain ranges of Romania. Their name is given based on their geographical position, west, to the Transylvanian Plateau, which is simultaneously their eastern limits, respectively to the Timiș-Cerna Gap of the Banat Mountains, the southern group of the Western Carpathians.

The Western Carpathians are positioned between the rivers Danube, Barcău and Someș. They have a maximum elevation of 1849 m in the Bihor Mountains, Cucurbăta Mare Peak (Hungarian: Nagy-Bihar) - 1849 metres, also called Bihor Peak. Discontinuity is one of their basic characteristics. Geographical composition is varied, with a real "petrographic mosaic". (flysch, crystalline schists, limestones, igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks)

Mountain ranges
From north to south, three major mountain groups can be identified, separated by different river valleys.
 Apuseni Mountains, north of Mureș
 Poiana Ruscă Mountains, south of Mureș
 Banat Mountains, the southwest corner of Romania, south of Timiș

There are 18 subgroups in total.

title: Kensington Town House

text:
The Kensington Town House is the town hall of Kensington, New Hampshire.  Located at 95 Amesbury Road (New Hampshire Route 150), the single-story wood-frame building was erected in 1846, and has been its only purpose-built municipal hall.  It is a good local example of civic Greek Revival architecture, and its hall has historically hosted town meetings and social functions.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Description and history
The Kensington Town House is located near the geographic center of the town, on the west side of Amesbury Road at its junction with Osgood Road.  It is set in a small cluster of civic buildings that includes two Greek Revival churches.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.  Its main facade faces roughly east, and is basically symmetrical, with a pair of entrances flanking a central sash window.  The entrances are flanked by pilasters and topped by transom windows and peaked entablatures.  The building corners are also pilastered, with an entablature running below the eaves along the sides.  In the gable above is a triangular panel, on which is mounted a flagpole stand, from which an American flag is normally hung.  The interior has a meeting space on the main level, and a basement space in which town offices are kept.

The town of Kensington was originally part of first Hampton and then Hampton Falls, before being separately incorporated in 1762.  Its first colonial meeting house was built in this area in 1733, and the second replaced it in 1770–71.  By the 1840s religious groups had ended their use of the building, which was judged too large for the town's needs.  The old building was dismantled and the present structure built in 1846.  Its original foundation included stones used from that of the old building, and it may incorporate timbers of the old structure.  The building was enlarged in the 1880s, and a two-story addition (its height obscured because of lower grade) was added in 1918, at which time the stage and proscenium were added to the main hall.  In addition to housing town meetings, the building has hosted private events, community organizational meetings, and social events such as dances and balls.  In the 1970s, the town began using a new and larger American Legion hall for its town meetings.

This is a list of professional wrestling hall of fames. There are many pro wrestling-related halls of fame. Most are (or were) run by a particular promotion, often honoring alumni of that promotion or its predecessors, though some are independent. Most professional wrestling halls of fame do not have a physical building, existing instead merely as a "conceptual" hall of fame, with a notable exception being the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum founded in Amsterdam, New York.

title: Larkin-Rice House

text:
The Larkin-Rice House is a historic house at 180 Middle Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  Built c. 1813–15, it is a distinctive example of Federal period architecture, notable for its facade, which has five Palladian windows.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Description and history
The Larkin-Rice House stands on the west side of Middle Street, a busy through street south of downtown Portsmouth, between Austin and State Streets.  It is a three-story brick building, roughly square in footprint, with four chimneys and a truncated hip roof with a widow's walk at its center.  The main facade is three bays wide, with a symmetrical arrangement of windows around a centered entrances.  The windows flanking the entrance are classical three-part Palladian windows, with narrow sidelights and a rounded center window.  On the second floor are three similar arrangements, except the flanking sidelights have been bricked over.  All of the windows are set in slightly recessed brick panels.  Third-floor windows are small three-over-three sash, crowned by splayed stone lintels.  The main cornice has classical detailing.  The interior of the house has had some alterations, but many Federal period features remain intact.

The house was built c. 1813-15 by Samuel Larkin, an auctioneer who made a fortune selling off assets seized by local privateers during the War of 1812. A period stable and carriage house also survives on the property, while other features, notably a covered way between the house and stable, have been removed.

title: Aprosphylosoma

text:
Aprosphylosoma darceneae is a species of cylindrical julidan millipede found only in the U.S. state of Oregon and comprising the sole species of the family Aprosphylosomatidae. It is known from only a single known specimen collected from Oregon Caves National Monument in 1956 that measures approximately  long and 1 mm wide, possessing 59 body segments. The first pair of legs are extremely reduced into non-jointed, peg-like structures. The body color is yellowish brown with darker brown mottling on the dorsal surface, and the legs are white.

Aprosphylosoma was originally classified as a new distinct subfamily ("Aprosphylosomatinae") of the family Nemasomatidae. Subsequent cladistic analysis placed Aprosphylosoma into the family Paeromopodidae. Further taxonomic study elevated the genus to its own distinct family, Aprosphylosomatidae, which together with Paeromopodidae constitutes the superfamily Paeromopodoidea.

title: John Stewart (of Livingstone)

text:
Colonel John Stewart (died 1726) was a Scottish professional soldier, first in the Scottish Army and then (after the Union with England) in the British Army. He served with the army in Scotland, France and Flanders, and held a seat in the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1708 to 1715.

He lived at Hartrigge House in Jedburgh and he was killed in 1726 in a drunken fight with a Member of Parliament (MP).

Life
Stewart's early life is unclear. He appears to be the son of William Stewart of Livingstone, but the evidence is uncertain.

He joined the army some time after the Glorious Revolution, but his early military career is also obscure. He probably served with the Scots Greys, and may have been the Captain John Stewart ‘of Galloway’ who joined Brigadier-General William Stewart's regiment in 1695. The first confirmed fact of his military career is that in 1707 he became a Lieutenant-Colonel in the regiment newly raised by Alexander Grant.

From 1708 he served in Flanders with the Duke of Marlborough, returning periodically to Scotland, where he had been elected in 1708 at the first general election to the new Parliament of Great Britain.  In a contest assisted by his opponent being jailed as a suspected Jacobite, Stewart was returned as the MP for Kirkcudbright Stewartry.

Returning to Scotland two years later for the 1710 election, he was captured from his ship by a French privateer. Released on parole, he was re-elected in the Stewartry, but negotiations with the French proved slow and he was not fully cleared until late 1711.

Re-elected in 1713, Stewart was classified as a Whig. He was not a very active member of the House of Commons, and stood down at the 1715 election. He had gone to half-pay in the army in 1713.

Death
Stewart was a burgess of Edinburgh in 1708, and of Glasgow in 1716. He was a commissioner of supply for Kirkcudbright Stewartry in 1706. He held land both in Livingstone in Kirkcudbright and at Stewartfield in Jedburgh, the first inherited from his father, and the latter through his marriage in 1704 to Elizabeth Scott, the daughter and heir of Sir Francis Scott of Mangerton in Roxburghshire.

Those landholding qualified him as a freeholder, with a vote in each county's elections. After the by-election in Roxburghshire in 1726, a meeting of the county's freeholders was followed by a dinner.  One of those present was the by-election winner Sir Gilbert Eliott, 3rd Baronet, of Stobs, who complained to Stewart for not voting for him.  An argument followed, and Stewart threw a glass of wine in Eliott's face, who responded by running his sword through the seated Stewart.

Stewart managed to stand and return two blows before the two men were separated, but the wound was fatal. Stewart's dying words were that he had been murdered sitting in his chair, and that his assailant was Sir Gilbert Eliott.

Eliott was declared an outlaw, and escaped into exile before being given a royal pardon.

title: Deacon Samuel and Jabez Lane Homestead

text:
The Deacon Samuel and Jabez Lane Homestead is a historic farmstead at 132 Portsmouth Avenue in Stratham, New Hampshire.  Built in 1807, the main house is a fine local example of Federal period architecture, with carvings executed by a regional master craftsman.  The property is further significant because the owners at the time of its construction kept detailed journals documenting the construction of it and other buildings on the property.  The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Description and history
The Deacon Samuel and Jabez Lane Homestead occupies a roughly triangular island of land bounded by the junction of New Hampshire Routes 33 and 108, which functions as a rotary.  The property includes four buildings: the main house, a shoe shop, corn house, and barn.  The main house is on the west side of the island; it is a -story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and end chimneys.  Its main facade is five bays wide and symmetrical, with a center entrance framed by Federal period pilasters, a four-light transom window, and a fully pedimented gable.  The house interior has received only modest alteration since its construction in 1807, retaining stencilwork on the parlor floor and a fine cherry central staircase.  A modernized ell extends to the rear (east).

The four buildings that stand here were part of a once-larger industrial site, which also included a tanning yard, workhouses, and worker residences.  Samuel Lane acquired this property in 1741, and his house was largely completed the following year.  The shoe shop and a barn followed, and Lane operated a successful tannery on the premises until his death in 1806.  It was taken over by his son Jabez, who expanded the premises.  He built a new house on the site of his father's old house, a process that took two years.  The corn house, now converted to residential use, dates to this period, and its construction and that of the house are detailed in Jabez Lane's journals.  The extant barn, now housing a commercial establishment, appears to date to the mid-19th century.  The house is notable for the joinery (particularly of its main staircase) of local craftsman Ebenezer Clifford.  Most of its 20th-century modifications, including the addition of minimal modern services to the main block and the addition of porches, have been made to be easily reversible.

Antiponemertes allisonae is a species of nemertean worm that is endemic to Banks Peninsula on New Zealand's South Island. It can be found in open bush under logs. It has not been recorded since 1961, and it has been suggested that this species may be extinct. If it is still extant, its habitat has been heavily altered by deforestation and grazing by introduced deer. This species may become transferred to the family Plectonemertidae as more taxonomic information becomes available.

title: Football Manager 2015

text:
Football Manager 2015 (abbreviated to FM15) is a football management simulation video game developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega. It was released on Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms on 7 November 2014, and on iOS and Android platforms on 20 November 2014.

Gameplay
FM15 features similar gameplay to that of the Football Manager series. Gameplay consists of taking charge of a professional association football team, as the team manager. Players can sign football players to contracts, manage finances for the club, and give team talks to players. FM15 is a simulation of real world management, with the player being judged on various factors by the club's AI owners and board.

The game offers a variety of new features such as being the first game of the franchise to include Twitch integration so people can stream their game online.  There has been an overhaul in the match engine, adding 2000 new animations into the game, improved ball physics and improved shots, passes, long balls etc. The player models have also been updated adding new realism into the game along with a brand new lighting model. FM15 featured  a complete redesign of the game's interface, introducing a  new sidebar giving a new look on Football Manager 2015.

Managers now choose between being a "Tracksuit" manager or a "Tactical" manager; when designing a new avatar. A Tracksuit manager specialises in training; and on the field knowledge, whilst a tactical manager specialises in tactics, formations and player morale.

Reception

FM15 received "generally favourable reviews" according to media review aggregator website Metacritic. Critics was mostly positive, claiming that is an improvement of its predecessor, but criticise the game's new match engine, stating there are more defensive blunders than Football Manager 2014. However, there were problems faced by many people that reduced the quality of the gameplay which even until now, still has not been improved.

One of the most common algorithmic problem faced by people is the demand of first team players for first team chances. Some players complained about their first team appearance to be very limited even though they just signed for the team and the season just began. A new player that was signed recently asked for first team chances even though there are still many matches to be played yet. This algorithmic programming is a stumbling block for most customers to the point, they have to either comply or sell that particular player(s).

title: Geckobia estherae

text:
Geckobia estherae, or Esther's gecko mite, is a species of external parasite from the genus Gekobia and is endemic to the Maltese Islands. Very little is known about it except that its preferred (if not only) host is the local indigenous Moorish gecko Tarentola mauritanica and its preferred part of the body of its host seems to be the forehead. The species to date has only been found in one locality on its quite widespread host and therefore it is not only a Maltese species but a localised endemic. The species was named in honour of Esther Sciberras for her continuous assistance to the finder (Arnold Sciberras) in the study of the natural history.

title: Harry Maclean (speedway rider)

text:
Harry Maclean (born 12 December 1951 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is a former motorcycle speedway rider, who represented Scotland five times and rode in the National League.

Speedway career
Maclean started his British league speedway career with an appearance for Barrow Happy Faces during the 1972 British League Division Two season. At the end of 1974 he was contracted to Long Eaton Speedway and when that closed during the winter that year, the promoters joined up with the promoter at Stoke Potters. This resulted in a glut of riders and Harry was loaned to Coatbridge and Teesside.

At the end of 1975, Harry Bastable and Tony Allsopp, promoters at Stoke, moved the licence to Oxford for 1976, filling the void left by the move of Oxford Rebels to White City Stadium. 1976 saw Maclean missing a lot of matches through injury and not getting rides, so he asked to be transferred, being taken in by Teesside Tigers for the 1977 season. When that season finished, Ron Wilson, Teesside's promoter, took Maclean to Milton Keynes, a new track.

The end of 1979 saw a swap deal agreed, with Maclean going to Edinburgh Monarchs and Bert Harkins going to Milton Keynes Knights.

Maclean retired from speedway in 1983.

Golf career
He took up golf at age of 37, which culminated in representing Scotland three times in the 'hickory clubs' internationals (the latest in 2022).

Personal life
Lives in Gullane, his home for twenty eight years. Is married to Brenda and they have two children, a girl and boy. Since retirement from speedway, he worked as an accountant (never qualified, but had been doing accounts, even while riding), helping other riders in particular with their tax returns.

Returning to Scotland, he worked in an Accountant's office for a couple of years then invested in an engineering company. When that business was sold, went into the window cleaning business.

A qualified scuba diver to the level of PADI Advanced, diving all over the world.

His brother Alan Maclean also rode speedway. Alan MacLean Born:08.12.1956, Edinburgh, Scotland
Alan rode with British Clubs:
Milton Keynes (1978)
Edinburgh (1979)
Stoke (1979, 1980)

title: Sant'Angelo a Segno

text:
Sant'Angelo a Segno, Naples
Sant’Angelo a Segno or Sant’Archangelo a Segno is a Roman Catholic church in Naples, Italy, located on Via dei Tribunali number 45.

History
This church recalls the apparition of St Michael, the church's patron, alongside the army of Giacomo di Marra and the bishop Sant'Agnello of Naples (also called Sant'Aniello Abate) during a 6th-century repulse of besieging Lombards. The church was called a Segno (a sign) because it putatively had a nail driven into the marble as a testament that here was the limit of Lombard penetration into Naples. Other sources anachronistically invoke battles against the Saracens.

A plaque at the front door still commemorates the victory of in Neapolitan forces over the Lombards. A church at the site likely dates to the 7th century, although the present structure dates to a reconstruction in 1825 by Luigi Malesi. The artworks once inside the church are now in the Museo di Capodimonte: including a Circumcision of Christ (1622) by Simon Vouet, St Thomas of Canterbury, a work by a member of the school of Giovanni Balducci, Santa Rosa,  by Simonelli, a member of the school of Luca Giordano, and the main altarpiece of St Michael Archangel by Francesco Pagano. The church is closed for worship.

title: Sant'Eligio dei Chiavettieri

text:
Sant'Eligio dei Chiavettieri (once known as Santa Maria ad Ercole) is a Roman Catholic church in Naples, Italy, located at the intersection of via Cesare Sersale and vicoletto Chiavettieri al Pendino.

History
The church arose during the Swabian rule of Naples. The origin of the tag of Hercules is uncertain. Some suggests that the site once held a temple of Hercules while others claim a d'Ercole family of this street patronized the founding of the church. In the 15th century, the church was ceded to the guild of swordsmen (spadari) and then the confraternity of the locksmiths (chiavettieri o fabbricanti di chiavi), who rededicated the church to Sant'Eligio. In 1624, it became the home of the Congregation of Salvatore e di Santa Maria Materdei, who redecorated it in baroque style. The facade has a 19th-century statue of the Redeemer. It once held an altarpiece attributed to Pietro and Polito del Donzello.

title: Mochi (magazine)

text:
Mochi Magazine (also known as Mochi or Mochi Mag) is an online magazine that serves as a destination for Asian American women to share their stories, experiences, and passions. Mochi'''s mission is to amplify Asian voices and support the growth and inclusion of Asian American women.Mochi was founded by Maggie Hsu, Stephanie Wu, and Sandra Sohn in 2008. The magazine's conceived goal was to "provide a community for Asian American teenage girls to access sisterly advice and gain self-esteem", with articles written from a range of perspectives, including high school students, college women, young professionals, and other role models.
The magazine was originally intended to be a print publication, but transitioned online to appeal to a younger audience, overcome printing costs and reach a wider geographic range of readers. It is entirely run by an all-volunteer staff.

Current members of the executive board include Giannina Ong, Sarah Jinee Park, Melody Ip, and Adelina Sun.

 Features Mochi has served as a catalyst for conversation on the Asian American identity in the film, music, politics, fashion and everyday life. The first issue had actress Brenda Song as a cover girl, which was arranged through the founders' connection to the entertainment industry. Since then, Mochi has interviewed multiple prominent role models in the Asian American community, including YouTube beauty vlogger Michelle Phan, Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang, The Bling Ring actress Katie Chang, comedian Margaret Cho, professional golfer Michelle Wie, Bay Area politician Evan Low, Big Hero 6 actor Daniel Henney, Mandopop singer Wang Leehom, and K-pop group f(x)'s Amber Liu, among others.

In 2010, Mochi released the first and only comprehensive college guide for Asian American teens. A year later, Mochi compiled a list of twenty-five influential Asian American youth in an article called "The Ultimate 25 under 25", published in the Spring 2011 issue. Although entertainment and beauty articles have attracted the majority of site hits, Mochi has also published a diverse collection of articles pertaining to health, mental well-being, relationships, food, travel and culture.

Over the years, Mochi writers have addressed hard-hitting issues in the Asian American community, such as the Asian American body image, the model minority myth, the "bamboo ceiling", and stigma surrounding LGBT identity and interracial dating. Since 2011, Mochi has published a series of articles on safe sex and protection against STDs. With the rise of the digital age, there has been an increasing focus on articles guiding young women interested in pursuing technology careers.

 Events and Partnerships
 Live Networking
In October 2011, Mochi hosted its first live networking event called "Faces of Mochi" in New York's Folli Follie store, celebrating the launch of its Fall 2011 issue, thus gathering young Asian Americans all across the country for a night full of fashion and fun. In September 2012, Mochi hosted its first open model call at the Work Gallery in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the following years, Mochi continued to hold special events, including wine socials, shopping experiences at BaubleBar (March 2013) and Club Clio (May 2015), chocolate tastings with ROYCE' Chocolate (June 2013) and movies screenings (November 2013).

 Panels and Workshops Mochi has a growing presence at journalism workshops and Asian American community events. Executive board members and staff members have presented at the Midwest Asian American Students Union (MAASU), the East Coast Asian American Student Union (ECAASU), and the Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Students Association (ITASA). In November 2013, co-founder Maggie Hsu visited several East Coast collegiate organizations including the Chinese Students' Association, Sangam and Taiwanese Society at UPenn and Kappa Phi Lambda sorority at University of Connecticut.

 Collaborations Mochi has partnered with various Asian American interest groups such as the Banyan Tree Project, Audrey, NYU-based Asian American publication Generasian, Kollaboration, ITASA, Harvard University's Identities Fashion Show, Amp Music Festival, Lunar New Year Festival by Xi'an Famous Foods, and others, through co-hosted events and sponsored posts.

 Recognition Mochi earned recognition as an up-and-coming business venture at the Harvard Asian American Alumni Summit in 2010, reaching the semi-finalist stage of the Elevate Pitch Competition. Semi-finalists were chosen by a panel of judges "based on the creativity, integrity and originality of their ideas, as well as worthiness of funding."

"Diagnosing the Asian American Eating Disorder," an article written for the Winter 2010 issue, was later republished in the 2012 edition of Eating Disorders (Opposing Viewpoints), a Cengage textbook. Other articles by Mochi have been cited by major media outlets in the past, including New York Magazine, Complex, XoJane,and VICE. Past issues Mochi'' released 33 issues since 2008.

title: Harry Dodge

text:
Harry Dodge (born 1966) is an American sculptor, performer, video artist, professor, and writer.

His solo exhibitions have included works in New York, Los Angeles and Connecticut, while his group exhibitions have taken place at The New Museum, the Whitney Biennial, the Getty Museum and the Hammer Museum, among others. He was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017 and is the author of the book My Meteorite: Or, Without the Random There Can Be No New Thing (2020). He lives and works in Los Angeles, California.

Early life
Dodge was born in 1966 in San Francisco, California. Dodge earned an MFA degree in Fine Art in 2002 from the Milton Avery School of the Arts at Bard College.

Career
In the early 1990s, Dodge was one of the founders of and curators for the San Francisco community-based performance space, Red Dora's Bearded Lady Coffeehouse. During this time Dodge wrote, directed, and performed several evening-length, monologue-based performances, including "Muddy Little River" (1996) and "From Where I'm Sitting (I Can Only Reach Your Ass)" (1997).

In the late 1990s, Dodge co-wrote, directed, edited and starred in (with Silas Howard) a narrative feature film, By Hook or By Crook, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival (2002), and received five Best Feature awards at various film festivals. Dodge also performed in the 2000 John Waters film Cecil B. Demented.

From 2004 to 2008, while continuing to make solo work, Dodge formed half of a video-making collaboration with artist Stanya Kahn.

Since 2008, Dodge has focused on sculpture, drawing, video, and writing. His interdisciplinary practice is “characterized by its explorations of relation, materiality and ecstatic contamination”. Artforum says his “dense, idea-rich” works are “designed to hold ideas of individuality and multiplicity in tension and to create spaces of dynamic slippage between the whole and its parts.”

Dodge teaches in the School of Art at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and in sculpture program of the Milton Avery School of the Arts at Bard College.

title: Jacinto de Barrios y Jáuregui

text:
Jacinto de Barrios Leal y Jáuregui was a Spanish soldier who served as Governor of the Province of Coahuila (1759–1762;  1765–1768)  and Texas (1751–59).

Career
Jacinto de Barrios Leal y Jáuregui was a native of Cadiz (in Andalusia, Spain).

Around the year 1718, Jacinto started to serve the Spanish Crown as a soldier and participated in the wars between the Spain and Italia. In these wars, Barrios reached the position of Lieutenant Colonel of cavalry.

He was appointed governor and Captain General of Texas in 1751, arriving to the province in June of that year. Shortly after, in that year, three Frenchmen were found to have settled along the Trinity River to trade with the Native Americans. The Spanish authorities arrested and expelled them from the colony.

During his government, the Mission Santa Cruz de San Sabá and the Presidios of San Agustín de Ahumada and San Sabá were established. In addition, the San Xavier mission and San Francisco Xavier Presidio were transferred to the vicinity of San Marcos River. Barrios chose his lieutenant governor, Bernardo de Miranda, to lead an expedition to the modern Hill Country with the aim of finding some silver mines he had heard were there.

In 1756, Barrios was appointed governor of Coahuila by the Viceroy of New Spain, while his partner, Angel Martos y Navarrete, was elect to govern Texas. Both decided move to those territories later to that Barrios could finish the construction the Presidio of San Agustín de Ahumada, on the eastern bank of the Trinity River, and establish a settlement in the near places to presidio.

However, Barrios was a controversial governor. He traded with the staff of the French post of Natchitoches, Louisiana, which was illegal (residents in Spanish America could not trade with foreigners). He bought furs and other products at the post and sold the leathers to the indigenous population near the place. So he traded with Native American peoples such as the Bidais and Orcoquizas, through a control of indigenous industry, which made him a great fortune. Its practice of smuggling became Barrios in a very criticized figure in Texas, being the most criticized governor of the province (in this time, Texas was a province). He ended his term in Texas in 1759, after of finishing his work at San Agustín de Ahumada.

In that year he left Texas and moved to Coahuila to fulfill his duties as governor. He governed the province from February 1759 until September 10, 1762. Later, he was reappointed on December 10, 1765, finishing his term on February 6, 1768.

title: RAFM Company

text:
RAFM Company, Inc. of Brantford, Ontario is a producer of miniatures, reference materials, and board games. RAFM has produced games, reference materials, and their own lines of miniature figures in 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, and 28 mm scales since 1977. Their games concern soldiers, adventurers and monsters inspired by history and fiction and their products are sold at gaming conventions, in hobby shops, and by mail order for use in role playing games, wargaming, dioramas, competitive painting, and collecting. The company is best known for its Baker Company (WW2 Rules & Miniatures 20mm), Charlie Company (Vietnam Rules & Miniatures 20mm), Death in the Dark (28mm Fantasy Board Game), RAFM historical miniatures, Call of Cthulhu miniatures, fantasy miniatures (featuring the new Iron Lords line of 28mm figures), Space: 1889 figures, historical source materials, and pewter dice.

History
RAFM was founded in 1977 by a group of wargaming enthusiasts in Paris, Ontario to publish a set of miniature battles rules called The Universal Soldier: Wargame Rules for Ancient, Medieval and Pike and Shot (1977) by Patrick Jenkins, John Laing, Colin McClelland, and Paul Sharpe. Initially, RAFM focused on publications for the historical gaming, particularly the wars of the 18th and 19th centuries. Like their contemporaries at Ral Partha Enterprises and Grenadier Models Inc., the company found that their efforts were best directed at the rapidly expanding market in fantasy games. Bob Murch began sculpting for RAFM in the early 1980s and remained their primary sculptor until he began Pulp Figures in 2002. The company started as a partnership among the principal owners until John Laing moved to England in 1987 and left the partnership. Jack Van Schaik has been the president and part-owner of the company since the beginning. In 1999 RAFM Company Inc. became a subsidiary of Van Schaik's Silver Fox Productions and the RAFM headquarters was moved to Brantford, Ontario.  In addition to their own lines, RAFM was the long-time caster and Canadian distributor for Ral Partha Enterprises, Citadel Miniatures, and currently distribute figures of Reaper Miniatures of Denton, Texas.

Miniatures and publications

RAFM's miniatures are typically unmarked and in order to be identified must be matched to pictures and descriptions in product catalogs. Catalogs were produced in 1986 Canada, 1986 U.S., 1987 Canada, 1989–90 U.S., 1994, 1996 Update #1, 2005, 2006, and 2009.

RAFM was also the Canadian caster and distributor of Ral Partha Enterprises and Citadel Miniatures carrying most of their lines. RAFM tended to preserve older manufacturer's codes. For example, when Ral Partha switched to all numeric product codes in early 1980, RAFM continued production with the originals. In the 1990s RAFM distributed Frei Korps 15's Yellow Ribbon line of 15mm figures for the American Wild West (YR01-YR18), another series for the American Civil War (7000-7011). A one time sculptor for RAFM, Bob Ridolfi's sculpts and others are licensed by Reaper Miniatures for distribution in Canada. Rafm also produced miniatures for GHQ and Martian Metals in the 1980s. Contracts were also signed with Dream Pod 9's Heavy Gear, Global Games and Palladium's Rifts.

Unless otherwise noted, RAFM's miniatures were designed by the prolific Bob Murch and produced in 25mm scale. Other sculptors included Murch's apprentice Stephen Koo, Carol Moyer, James Johnson, and Bill Schwarz who specializes in the engines and vehicles of war throughout history. In recent years the boss' sons James and Brock Van Schaik have become accomplished sculptors.

title: KPIT Technologies

text:
KPIT Technologies Limited is an Indian multinational corporation which provides embedded software and product engineering services to automotive companies. Popularly known as KPIT, the company is headquartered in Pune and has development centers in Europe, USA, Japan, and China, apart from India.

KPIT has filed 58 patents, published some research papers, and has won several awards for innovation.

History
KPIT was co-founded in 1990 by Ravi Pandit and Kishor Patil, as KPIT Infosystems. Both of them are chartered accountants by profession, and they were partners in an accountancy firm, Kirtane & Pandit Chartered Accountants (KPCA). The company made its initial public offer (IPO) in 1999, which was 50 times oversubscribed.

In 2002, Cummins Infotech, the IT department of Cummins merged with KPIT, and the name of the company became KPIT Cummins Infosystems Ltd.

KPIT Cummins Infosystems changed its name to "KPIT Technologies Limited" in September 2013. This was in line with Cummins' decision to reduce its shareholding in KPIT, to focus on its core business of engine and generator manufacturing.

In January 2018, Birlasoft, an IT company, and KPIT announced that they will merge and immediately split into two new companies. In April 2018, this deal was approved by the Competition Commission of India. After the corporate spin-off of the new company, an IT company and an automotive company would be formed. The IT company would work under the name of Birlasoft, and the automotive company will work under the name of KPIT Technologies. According to the original plan, the shareholders of Birlasoft would receive 22 shares of the combined company for every 9 shares they hold in Birlasoft, and the shareholders of KPIT Technologies would receive 1 share of the new company working under the name of KPIT Technologies, for every share they hold in KPIT Technologies. In an interview, Ravi Pandit, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of KPIT Technologies, commented upon this deal, "Segregating business IT and automotive tech businesses will provide sharper focus on each business." On 22 April 2019, KPIT Technologies Limited got listed on BSE and NSE. The transaction resulted in two publicly traded specialized technology companies – KPIT Technologies and Birlasoft.

On 6 June 2019, KPIT launched its new corporate logo.

title: Benjamin Moore Norman

text:
Benjamin Moore Norman (December 22, 1809 – February 1, 1860) was an American book dealer and writer who benefited from the success of John Lloyd Stephens's  book, Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatán. He was a beneficiary of a public offer by the author to return to the Maya region and further his studies. He initiated, on his own and anticipating Stephens, a trip to the Yucatan Peninsula and wrote about it.

Biography

Early life
Benjamin Moore Norman was born on December 22, 1809, in Hudson, New York to William E. Norman, local bookseller. When his father died, the younger Norman left his clerkship in New York City to take over the family bookstore. Shortly after, he left Hudson for Philadelphia, only to move to New Orleans in 1837, which would be his permanent home for the rest of his life.

Career
In December 1841, he had made progress on Stephen's by writing on the topic of the Maya Civilization in the Yucatán Peninsula. He traveled through the peninsula visiting Valladolid, Chichén Itzá, Uxmal, and San Francisco de Campeche. In this last location Norman was interviewed by Justo Sierra O'Reilly who, much later, characterized him in his newspaper, The Yucatán Register(vol 1, page 342), in the following way:

In effect, after three months of travel through the Yucatán Peninsula Norman returned to New York where he edited and published his book in 1843. The encyclopedia, Yucatán in Time (page 363, vol. 4) says, in the biographical note containing this author, that later the historian Gustavo Martínez Alomía noted:

This is perhaps overly harsh, as there is no serious doubt Norman visited the sites in Yucatan.  His writings however were not particularly insightful and his drawings of mediocre quality, both suffering from comparison to the much better documentation by John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood.  Norman's work was not entirely without interest, however; it contains the first published documentation of the ceramic figurines of Jaina Island.

Norman's "Rambles in Yucatan" had immediate success,  five editions being printed, the last in 1849. Based on his success with it, Norman initiated a new series of travels that led him to Cuba and eventually to HuastecaTamaulipeca, producing another work entitled, Rambles by Land and Water or Notes of Travel in Cuba and Mexico, published in 1845.

From this last trip he brought to the United States a collection of archaeological pieces from Huasteca which were eventually donated to the Brooklyn Museum. The archeologist Herbert J. Spinden, in his monograph Huastec Sculpture and the Cult of Apotheosis, makes reference to the pieces and includes biographical dates of Norman.

Death
While traveling in Mississippi, Norman was struck with pneumonia, from which he died on February 1, 1860, in Summit, Mississippi.

Works
Rambles in Yucatan: Or, Notes of Travel through the Peninsula, Including a Visit to the Remarkable Ruins of Chi-Chen, Kabak, Zayi, and Uxmal (1843)
Views of Ancient Monuments in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan (1844)

His other titles included precentor and sub-dean of the Chapels Royal and, earlier, priest-in-ordinary to George VI. He assisted at the christening of Charles, Prince of Wales and the baptism of Prince Andrew, Duke of York. In his office, he represented the Royal Household at funerals and conducted religious services. He retired from the office in 1965.

Foxell was also noted for his printmaking and watercolours. His watercolour Trees and Barn is displayed by the Government Art Collection in London.

He wrote several books, including An Account of the College of Minor Canons of St Paul's Cathedral (1931), The St Paul's Cathedral Psalter Pointed for Chanting (1934), and Wren's Craftsmen at St Paul's Cathedral (1935).

title: The World's Largest Lobster

text:
The World's Largest Lobster () is a concrete and reinforced steel statue in Shediac, New Brunswick, Canada sculpted by Canadian artist Winston Bronnum. The statue is 11 metres long and 5 metres tall, weighing 90 tonnes. The sculpture was commissioned by the Shediac Rotary Club as a tribute to the town's lobster fishing industry.  The sculpture took three years to complete, at a cost of $170,000. It attracts 500,000 visitors per year. Contrary to popular belief, this is not actually the "World's Largest Lobster" as that title went to the Big Lobster statue in Kingston, South Australia, until 2015 when Qianjiang, Hubei, China built a 100-tonne lobster/crayfish.

title: Icicle Seafoods

text:
Icicle Seafoods is an American seafood processor and wholesaler with land-based and vessel-based processing facilities throughout Alaska. Its corporate headquarters is in Seattle, Washington.

The company was started as Petersburg Fisheries, Inc. in 1965 by a group of Alaskan fishermen, led by founding CEO Robert Magnus Thorstenson, Sr., vice President Thomas E. Thompson, and fishermen Magnus A. Martens and Gordon Jensen, who would become the chairman of the board during the founders' final years. They purchased the Pacific American Fisheries, cannery in Petersburg, Alaska.  These four owned 55% and the company fishermen owned 45%. In 1977, the company was renamed Icicle Seafoods, Inc.

By the early 1980s, Icicle was the world's largest halibut and black cod producer, and was among the world's top salmon producers.

The company was sold to Fox, Paine and Partners in 2007 by the original stockholders, who by this time had migrated approximately to about 75% management and employee ownership, from the original all-fishermen and manager ownership, through an ESOP plan that transferred great benefits to the company's year-round employees.

In 2016, Cook Aquaculture purchased the company, returning the company to fishing family ownership after a decade of investment institutional ownership.

The first million dollars started the company; $100,000 from the principals and a $900,000 loan. Icicle's original shareholders sold their stock after 42 years at $86.00 per share. Their basis was 2.75 cents a share from their original investment in 1965.

Since the 1970s, Icicle has been one of the largest and most progressive and competitive seafood producers in the world, operating primarily throughout Alaska, but with operations in Canada and Washington state.

Today, Icicle is Petersburg's largest hometown employer, taxpayer, economic engine and backbone.

In February 2020, Icicle Seafoods was recognized by Whole Foods Market in its annual Supplier Awards. The company received an award in the retailer's "Raising the Bar for Quality" category.
