title: Henry Hurd Rusby

text:
Henry Hurd Rusby (1855–1940) was an American botanist, pharmacist and explorer. He discovered several new species of plants and played a significant role in founding the New York Botanical Garden and developing research and exploration programs at the institution. He helped to establish the field of economic botany, and left a collection of research and published works in botany and pharmacology.

He joined a series of expeditions from 1880 and 1921 and in 1921, he led the Mulford Expedition to the Amazon.

Biography
Henry H. Rusby grew up in Franklin (today Nutley) New Jersey. He showed a passionate interest in plants. At 21, his herbarium won first prize at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876. He came to meet Dr. George Thurber who was President of the Torrey Botanical Club. Rusby joined the club in 1879, and by then studied medicine at the School of Medicine of New York University.

In 1880, still a medical student, he spent 18 months collecting plants in Texas and New Mexico for the Smithsonian Institution. In 1883 he returned to the southwest to study and collect medicinal flora of Arizona, for Parke-Davis & Co.

In 1884, he graduated with his degree in medicine, and in the following year he embarked on a two-year expedition for Parke, Davis & Co., crossing South America and exploring remote regions of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Brazil.

In 1887, he married Margaretta Saunier Hanna.

Although trained as a physician, Rusby chose to leave medicine for his interest in plants.

In 1889, he became Professor of Botany and Materia Medica at the School of Pharmacy at Columbia University. He was Dean of the Faculty for 26 years until his retirement in 1930, and Dean Emeritus until his death in 1940.

His association with New York Botanical Garden began even before the garden was formally created. As a member of Torrey Botanical Club, he encountered the celebrated botanist and taxonomist Nathaniel Lord Britton. Establishing a botanical garden was a goal for the Torrey Botanical Club. In 1888 a pro-Garden committee of Botany, with eight distinguished members of the club, including Britton and Rusby was formed. Rusby was instrumental in collaboration between the Herbarium School of Columbia, and the botanical Library at the New York Botanical Garden.

In 1893, Nathaniel Lord Britton published Rusbya, a monotypic genus of flowering plants from Bolivia, belonging to the family Ericaceae and its name is in honour of Henry Hurd Rusby.

On January 26, 1898, Rusby was designated the "Honorary Curator of the Museum of Economic Botany.

His tropical explorations, particularly in the Amazon, provided materials for taxonomic studies and economic botany by the New York Botanical Garden. Productivity in these explorations was due to his strength and exploration skills.

In 1921, at age 65, he made his last trip to South America as Director of the "Mulford Biological Exploration of the Amazon Basin".

Rusby died on November 18, 1940, aged 85.

Approximately an hour after launch, VB-3's aircraft sighted the Japanese Fleet and commenced their dive-bombing attack; the primary target was the carrier Sōryū. Lieutenant (jg) Paul A. Holmberg was the first to drop his 1,000 pounder on the Sōryū. His hit was followed by two more from VB-3's SBDs. Sōryū erupted into flames and eventually sank. With the Sōryū in flames, the other VB-3 SBDs directed their attack against other targets. They attacked a destroyer, the Isokaze, making one hit on her fantail and “what appeared to be a battleship,” claiming a hit on her stern. All 17 SBDs from VB-3 escaped the attack without a hit and returned to the Yorktown. Prior to landing on the carrier, they were directed to leave the area due to incoming enemy aircraft.

title: Margherita Piazzola Beloch

text:
Margherita Beloch Piazzolla (12 July 1879, in Frascati – 28 September 1976, in Rome) was an Italian mathematician who worked in algebraic geometry, algebraic topology and photogrammetry.

Biography
Beloch was the daughter of the German historian Karl Julius Beloch, who taught ancient history for 50 years at  Sapienza University of Rome,  and American Bella Bailey.

Beloch studied mathematics at the  Sapienza University of Rome and wrote her undergraduate thesis under the supervision of Guido Castelnuovo. She received her degree in 1908 with Laude and "dignità di stampa" which means that her work was worthy of publication, and in fact her thesis "Sulle trasformazioni birazionali nello spazio" (On Birational Transformations in Space) was published in the Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata.

Guido Castelnuovo was very impressed with her talent and offered her the position of assistant which Margherita took and held until 1919, when she moved to Pavia. In 1920 she moved to Palermo to work under Michele De Franchis, an important figure of the Italian school of algebraic geometry at the time.

In 1924, Beloch completed her "libera docenza" (a degree that at that time had to be obtained before one could become a professor), and three years later she became a full professor at the University of Ferrara
where she taught until her retirement (1955).

Piazzolla is Beloch's married surname.

Scientific work
Her main scientific interests were in algebraic geometry, algebraic topology and photogrammetry.

After her thesis, she worked on the classification of algebraic surfaces by studying the configurations of lines that could lie on surfaces. The next step was to study rational curves lying on surfaces and in this framework Beloch obtained the following important result: "Hyperelliptic surfaces of rank 2 are characterised by having 16 rational curves."

Beloch also made some contributions to the theory of skew algebraic curves.  She continued working on topological properties of algebraic curves either planar or lying on ruled or cubic surfaces for most of her life, writing about a dozen papers on these subjects.

Around 1940 Beloch become more and more interested in photogrammetry and the application of mathematics, and in particular algebraic geometry, to it. She is also known for her contribution to the mathematics of paper folding: In particular she seems to have been the first to formalise an origami move which allows, when possible, to construct by paper folding the common tangents to two parabolas. As a consequence she showed how to extract cubic roots by paper folding, something that is impossible to do by ruler and compass. The move she used has been called the Beloch fold.

title: Cornelia Van Auken Chapin

text:
Cornelia Van Auken Chapin  (August 7, 1893 – December 4, 1972) was an American sculptor and animalier born in Waterford, Connecticut. She was known for her stone models of birds and animals, which she largely carved directly from life and without preliminary models or sketches.

Early life
Cornelia Chapin was born in Connecticut and raised in New York City as part of a prominent socialite family. Daughter of Lindley Hoffman Chapin (1854–1896), a Manhattan lawyer and Cornelia Garrison (Van Auken) Chapin (1865–1925), an actress, Cornelia Chapin was also a descendant of Supreme Court Justice George P. Andrews (who presided in the trials of former slave traders) and Cornelius K. Garrison (a merchant involved with the building of railroads). Chapin was also sister to poet Katherine Garrison Chapin Biddle, whose husband Francis Biddle was the 58th United States Attorney General. Chapin's nephew was Schuyler Chapin, General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera and Commissioner of Cultural Affairs for New York City under Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Her older paternal half-sister was the publisher Marguerite Caetani.

Sculpture

Cornelia Chapin developed an interest in art as a young child – dabbling in pencil sketches and watercolors - but by the early 1920s, she settled on sculpture as her main interest. Chapin studied under Gail Sherman Corbett and later shared studios with both Genevieve Karr Hamlin and Marion Sanford.

She early became interested in creating somewhat abstracted animal forms and in the early 1934 moved to Paris to study direct carving with Mateo Hernandez (1884–1949), from whom she learned the art of direct carving. She would go to the zoo and carve sculptures of animals, an unusual technique for direct carvers.

In 1936, following the success of her carving Tortoise she was elected a member of the Salon d'Automne, the only foreigner and the only woman thus honored that year.

She returned to the United States following the start of World War II and shared a studio, that had formerly belonged the Gutzon Borglum, with Sanford. In the summer of 1949 she was one of 250 sculptors who exhibited in the 3rd Sculpture International held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. From 1951 to 1953 Chapin served on the New York City Art Commission.

Chapin was most famous for her sculptures of birds and animals, though she also sculpted human figures. Between 1930 and the early 1960s, Chapin exhibited in galleries in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, California, Washington, D.C., New Jersey, Maine, and Paris, and won numerous awards and prizes for her work during the 1930s and 1940s. These included the 2nd Grand Prize at the 1937 Paris International Exposition for her sculptures "Pelican in Repose" and "Tortoise in Volcanic Rock," the Sculpture Prize from the Asbury Park Fine Arts Society in 1939, and an Honorable Mention from the Allied Artists of America in 1941 for her sculpture "Paquita the Bear." She also lectured on the art of direct carving in museums and schools. Chapin was a member of the National Academy of Design, the National Sculpture Society, and the only foreign and only woman sculptor elected to the Societaire Salon d'Automne, in 1936.

Chapin was a founding member of the Sculptors Guild and also a member in the National Sculpture Society and the National Academy of Design.

Cornelia Chapin sculptures are represented in the National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C., and in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, among other locations.

Personal life
In her later years, Chapin lived and worked with Marion Sanford in Lakeville, Connecticut. Cornelia Chapin died in Connecticut in 1972.

title: Alberta Coal Branch

text:
The Alberta Coal Branch is the name given to a segment of the Canadian National Railway (originally the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway) and the region through which it passes. It is located within Yellowhead County in west-central Alberta, Canada.

Geography
The Coal Branch region encompasses a portion of the eastern slopes and foothills of the Canadian Rockies east of Jasper National Park. It extends from Alberta Highway 16 in the north to the Brazeau River in the south.  The McLeod, Lovett and Embarras Rivers flow through it, and it includes many former coal-mining towns and ghost towns.

History
The Coal Branch rail line was built between 1911 and 1912 by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to gain access to deposits of high-quality steam coal. It diverges from the main line at Bickerdike and runs south through Coalspur to the Lovett River, a distance of . A series of coal mining, railroad, and logging towns quickly developed along the route. Going south from Bickerdike, they include McLeod River, Erith, Weald, Embarras, Robb, Coalspur, Diss, Sterco, Foothills and Lovetteville.

A western branch that opened in the summer of 1913 diverges at Coalspur and extends  to Mountain Park. Along that route lie Mercoal, Shaw, Leyland, Cadomin, and Mountain Park. In 1921 a spur  long was built to Luscar.

The Coal Branch towns thrived from the arrival of the railroad until markets for steam coal declined as the railroads replaced steam locomotives with diesel. Most of the mines closed during the 1950s, after which the population quickly declined and many of the towns were abandoned.

Today the permanent population of the area is small, but the scenic mountain setting makes the Coal Branch area a popular destination for all types of outdoor recreation. Coal mining continues near Luscar, producing coking coal for export to Asian steel mills, but most of the workforce lives to the north in Edson and Hinton.

title: Anchorage (maritime)

text:
An anchorage is a location at sea where ships can lower anchors.

Anchorages are where anchors are lowered and utilised, whereas moorings usually are tethering to buoys or something similar.  The locations usually have conditions for safe anchorage in protection from weather conditions, and other hazards.

The purpose of resting a ship at sea securely can be for waiting to enter ports, as well as taking on cargo or passengers where insufficient port facilities exist.

Some coastlines without port facilities have extensive anchorage locations.

In the days of large-scale sailing ship operations, a ship could wait at an anchorage for the wind to change, allowing it to continue its journey.

The mooring of large ships in locations with adequate conditions for secure berthing is an engineering task requiring considerable technical skill.

title: Oratory of San Colombano, Bologna

text:
The Oratory of the Madonna of San Colombano, also called the Chiese di San Colombano e Santa Maria dell'Orazione is a religious site in central Bologna, found on Via Parigi #5, near the Bologna Cathedral.

History
The oratory was built in 1591, atop the site of a chapel or small church that sheltered the painting of the Madonna dell’Orazione by Lippo di Dalmasio. The church, called San Colombano, at the site had been founded in the 7th century by Peter I, the bishop of Bologna and pupil of the Irish monk Columbanus. Columbanus had died in nearby Bobbio.

The annexed oratory contained a revered icon of the Virgin by Lippo Dalmasio as a main altarpiece. Starting about the year 1600, it was decorated by an impressive series of pupils of Ludovico Carracci, among them some of the titans of early Italian Baroque painting: Francesco Albani, Francesco Brizio, Domenichino, Lorenzo Garbieri, Lucio Massari, Guido Reni, and Baldassare Aloisi (il Balanino). The frescoes include scenes from the Passion and Resurrection of Christ.

Among the paintings listed by Malvasia in the Oratory are:<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=olweNfKrtKoC Pitture scolture ed architetture delle chiese luoghi pubblici, palazzi, e case], by Carlo Cesare Malvasia, 1792, page 82-84.</ref>Last Judgement (outside portico) by Pietro PancottoSt Francis with angels above and demons below (right wall) by Antonio CaracciVirgin and Child with Joseph gathering dates by Leonello SpadaSibyl (above side door) by GarbieriCoronation of St Catherine also by GarbieriSt Marta conversing with the Savior before whom the Magdalen is kneeling (vault) by MassariSibyl (over door) and Angel bearing the palm of martyrdom to St Ursula also by Massari Infant Jesus playing with St. John in the presence of little angels by Paolo Caracci

In the upper oratory, the frescoes include a St Peter going out weeping from Pilate’s house'' by Francesco Albani.

The property now belongs to the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna, and is being restored. Restorations have uncovered earlier 13th-century frescoes.

The attached complex of buildings, since 2010, houses the collection of musical instruments donated by Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini, consisting of nearly ninety pieces including harpsichords, spinets, pianofortes, clavichords and others. It also houses the musical library of Oscar Mischiati.

title: Brand New Theatre

text:
Brand New Theatre USC, abbreviated BNT, is the oldest student theater company at the University of Southern California, and the only organization on campus to produce only student-written work. BNT was founded by Joe Douglass in 1996 to allow student playwrights the opportunity to see their work produced, and give student actors and directors the opportunity to shape a show in collaboration with its writer.  BNT prioritizes the inclusion of undergraduate students from outside the USC School of Dramatic Arts, and USC students from widely disparate majors and departments have participated as actors, writers, directors, and producers for BNT shows. The organization's name draws from the fact that it only produces original work; every show is brand new.

One-Act Plays
The productions for which they are best-known, BNT produces a series of one-acts every semester. The organization curates submissions from throughout the student body, and a reading committee made up of BNT executives and student volunteers read every show and collectively select the one-acts that will together produce the strongest show; typically four are chosen. At this point, the playwrights participate in a writing workshop to finalize their scripts, and often remain involved in the drafting and production process in collaboration with their show's director and cast.

Full-Length Show
In 2012, BNT produced its first full-length student-written show, and has continued to do so every Spring. The process is similar to that of the one-acts: submissions are called for, and a reading committee selects a single show to be produced.

List of BNT Full-Length Productions
2012: Here's The Thing by Jake Minton
2013: Get. That. Snitch. by Achilles Capone
2014: Animal Stories by Molly Sharpe
2015: The Adventurers Club by Kyle Bellar
2016: Stars & Shadows by Jonathan Stoller-Schoff
2017: This Our Now by Olivia Cordell

24-Hour Festival
BNT also sponsors a 24-hour theater festival every spring. From 10 pm to 10 am, individuals and teams work together to produce the script for a show or a series of shows based on a prompt. Then, from 10 am to 10 pm, the script is passed off to actors and producers, who memorize lines, block the show, acquire necessary props, costumes, and sets, and rehearse the show. At 10 pm, the curtain goes up, exactly one day after the show was first conceived.

Writers' Workshop
In 2014, BNT will expand its one-acts writers workshop into an open forum that meets regularly, as a resource for student playwrights throughout USC to offer feedback and help to one another on scripts they're drafting. The workshop meets twice a month, and is not officially associated with the selection process for BNT's productions that year.

title: Oratorio di Santa Cecilia, Bologna

text:
The Oratory of Saints Cecilia and Valeriano is a religious site in central Bologna, found on Via Zamboni, contiguous to the portico of the church of San Giacomo Maggiore.

The oratory was built at the site of a Romanesque church commissioned by the then ruler of Bologna Giovanni II Bentivoglio. It was frescoed starting in 1505 by series of Renaissance painters associated with the Bentivoglio court, including Francesco Francia, Lorenzo Costa and Amico Aspertini.  The frescoes cover the walls flanking the oratory entrance. In ten panels, divided by pilaster strips in decorated grotteschi, scenes from the life of Saint Cecilia and her husband Valerian are described.

The individual attribution of all the panels is not entirely clear; they depict:
Marriage of Cecilia and Valerian
Valerian converted by Pope Saint Urban
Valerian baptized by the Pope Urban
Saints Cecilia and Valerian crowned by an angel
Martyrdom of Saints Valerian and Tiburtius (attributed to Aspertini)
Burial of the Martyrs (attributed to Aspertini)
Trial of Saint Cecilia
Martyrdom of Saint Cecilia
St Cecilia donates all her goods to the poor
Burial of Saint Cecilia

Other artist involved in these or later works include Francesco Cavazzoni, Tiburzio Passarotti (Son of Bartolomeo), Cesare Baglioni, Cesare Tamaroccio, Giovanni Maria Chiodarolo, Bartolomeo Bagnacavallo, and Biagio Pupini. The main altarpiece was a Crucifixion by Giacomo Francia, now held in the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna, as well as a 14th-century fresco once outside the chapel by Giovanni di Ottonello.

title: Logie Awards of 2014

text:
The 56th Annual TV Week Logie Awards was held on Sunday 27 April 2014 at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne, and broadcast on the Nine Network. The red carpet arrivals was hosted by Sonia Kruger and Jules Lund.

Public voting for the Most Popular categories were conducted through an online survey from 3 February 2014 to 2 March 2014. Nominations were announced on 31 March 2014. Offspring received the most nominations with eight, followed by Home and Away with six. The Block, Hamish & Andy's Gap Year Asia, Paper Giants: Magazine Wars and Redfern Now each received four nominations.

Background

Changes to categories
In January 2014, it was revealed that TV Week had eliminated some categories in a bid to shorten the ceremony. The categories for Most Popular New Male Talent and Most Popular New Female Talent were merged into the Most Popular New Talent category to become gender non-specific. The Most Popular Factual Program category was also eliminated and the Most Outstanding New Talent category was renamed Most Outstanding Newcomer.

Nominations announcements
Nominations were announced in two stages on 31 March 2014; the peer-voted Most Outstanding categories were published in the issue of TV Week that hit newsstands in the morning, while the Most Popular categories were announced in the afternoon at the nominations event in Melbourne, which was hosted by Julia Morris and Chris Brown and attended by network stars.

Tiffany Holmes (born 1964) is an American new media artist and educator. She is based in Chicago, Illinois.

Early life and education
Tiffany Holmes was born in 1964 in Baltimore, Maryland. Her formal education includes: a PhD (2004–2010) "Eco-visualization: Combining art and technology to reduce energy consumption," from the Arts Department at University of Plymouth. Additionally she has an MFA degree (1996–1999) in Imaging and Digital Arts, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; an MFA degree (1992–1996) in Painting, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA); and a BA degree (1986–1990, cum laude) Art History with a minor in Environmental Studies, Williams College.

Work
In her research and practice, Holmes explores the potential of technology to promote positive environmental stewardship. She coined the term "eco-visualization" in 2005. Her creative projects include a commission for the National Center for Supercomputing Applications where sequences of experimental animations visualize real time energy loads.

title: Under Control (The Vampire Diaries)

text:
"Under Control" is the 18th episode of the first season of The CW television series, The Vampire Diaries and the 18th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on April 15, 2010. The episode was written by Barbie Kligman and Andrew Chambliss and directed by David Von Ancken.

Plot
Stefan (Paul Wesley) tries to detox himself from human blood by working out and staying away from other people. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) does not find the idea really good and he tempts him with a glass of blood before he drinks it himself. Stefan has his reasons for not wanting to drink human blood.

At the Gilbert house, uncle John (David Anders) shows up for a visit; he doesn't know how long it will be. Jenna (Sara Canning) is not really happy to see him. John does not state all of the reasons why he came back, but one of them is to prevent Jenna from selling his brother's office to Pearl (Kelly Hu).

At school, Matt (Zach Roerig) thanks Elena (Nina Dobrev) for being there for him while Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) talk about Vicky. Jeremy is not convinced that Vicky's death was due to overdose as was stated on the coroner's report, and he later asks the Sheriff (Marguerite MacIntyre) if they have any news about Vicky since somebody must have buried her.

The founders' council calls a meeting in which Damon is now a member. Elena's uncle John is also there and a member and warns the council that there were many break-ins at a blood bank not far away from Mystic Falls, meaning that the vampire problem is not over yet.

Alaric (Matt Davis) talks to Elena about Jeremy's last history paper that was based on vampires. He says that Jeremy made it clear it was not real but maybe she should talk to him. Elena asks Stefan about it and Stefan suggests that she should ask him and also talk to him about her being adopted. They start making out but Stefan cannot control his desire for blood and he throws himself off of Elena. Elena really worries about him and she calls Damon to ask how Stefan is dealing with the whole thing and how long it will take for him to be himself again.

Elena decides to tell Jeremy about her adoption, something that Jeremy takes really well. While they are talking, she brings up Jeremy's paper about vampires and Jeremy says that it is just another thing in a long list of the crazy Gilbert men, convincing Elena that he doesn't know the truth about vampires.

Everyone is gathered at the Founder's Day 150th Anniversary party. Stefan struggles to control his hunger and starts drinking. Elena notices that he is drunk and worries even more about him after an aggressive behavior to one of the attendants of the party while Damon is amused seeing him having fun. Damon is more concerned about Jeremy who is asking around more about Vicky's suspicious death. He wants to compel him but Elena tells him not to do it and that she will handle it herself.

Tyler runs into Kelly (Melinda Clarke) and the two of them go outside and, both being a little drunk, start making out. Matt gets out and attacks Tyler. The two of them start fighting and Kelly gets injured after they push her away. Alaric goes outside and breaks them up, seeing something strange in Tyler's face.

In the meantime, John introduces himself to Damon and the two of them have a talk about the history of Mystic Fall's vampire problem since 1864. John seems to know more than Damon thinks since he knows about the vampires that were locked in the tomb and that Damon was the one who opened it few days ago. Damon realizes that John knows he is a vampire and he kills him.

Elena tries to talk to Jeremy and convince him to move on from Vicky. From their conversation, Jeremy suspects that Elena knows something and she hides it from him. He leaves the party and goes home where he starts searching for her journal. He finds it and starts reading.

Back at the party, Stefan smells blood while heading out of the house. He searches around and finds Kelly, who got injured during Tyler and Matt's fight. Stefan goes to her and while she is talking to him, he wipes the blood with his fingers and when Kelly asks him what is he doing, he runs outside to collect himself but his hunger takes over and he licks the blood from his fingers.

Inside, Damon enjoys the party again but he is shocked seeing John across the room alive and well. Mayor Lockwood (Robert Pralgo) invites John to ring the charter bell in honor of the 150th Anniversary. Damon heads to Alaric and whispers to him that John has the same ring as his and wonders if Isobel was also involved with John since she was the one who gave the ring to Alaric.

Damon and Alaric follow John outside while he is heading home to ask him about the ring. John reveals that he knows much more about them and everyone in Mystic Falls than everyone suspects and he will tell everyone if anything happens to him. He says that the ring is a family heirloom and that his brother also had one. He gave one of them to Isobel and Isobel gave it to Alaric. John also tells Damon that he was the one who sent Isobel to him and that he knows about Katherine before he takes off, leaving the two men stunned looking at each other.

Elena comes back home where Jeremy acts like he did not just read her journal. She goes to her room and finds Stefan who came to apologize to her for his earlier behavior. He finally admits to her that he cannot control himself and wants to stay away from her so he will not hurt her, but Elena tells him that she is not scared and she will be there for him.

Stefan returns home to find Damon drinking blood from a glass and really worried after John's revelations. Before Damon tells him anything, he realizes how much Stefan is struggling and he leaves the room, leaving the glass of blood on the table. Stefan takes the glass and drinks the blood.

Reviews
"Under Control" received positive reviews.

Matt Richenthal of TV Fanatic rated the episode with 4.5/5 saying that it was another stellar installment of the show. "While the episode wasn't packed with action, it was chock full of character development and questions, most of them surrounding Stefan's new state and a new member of the Founder's Council: Uncle John Gilbert."

Josie Kafka from Doux Reviews rated the episode with 3.5/4. "I really liked Elena and Jeremy finally talking about her being adopted, and both of them deciding in about 5 seconds that it didn’t matter for their relationship."

Robin Franson Pruter of Forced Viewing rated the episode with 3/4. "Strong storytelling characterizes this episode as the first season plot threads begin to come together in anticipation of the season finale."

Popsugar of Buzzsugar gave a good review to the episode saying that as a whole, it was a fantastic episode. "I could tell something was up with John Gilbert, but I didn't think he would be so mysterious — or so psychotic. Is he merely a human with a special ring, or is there something more to him?"

Tiffany Vogt from The TV Watchtower gave a good review to the episode, praising the casting of Anders as John Gilbert: "Casting the subtly devilish David Anders to play Uncle John Gilbert was brilliant. [...] Uncle John seemed so benign upon first introduction. Yet within minutes he was peeling back the mask of congenial affection and showing that he was a force to be reckoned with."

title: Mike Melluish

text:
Michael Edward Lovelace Melluish  (13 June 1932 – 8 February 2014), was a first-class cricketer and cricket administrator in England.

Mike Melluish was born in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, and educated at Rossall School in Lancashire. He captained the school team in 1951, his final year, setting a school record of 913 runs in the season, at an average of 70.23, and he opened the batting and kept wicket for the Public Schools in their annual match against Combined Services at Lord's.

At Caius College, Cambridge, he was a regular in the university side throughout his three years as a student from 1954 to 1956. He was secretary of the club in 1955 and captain in 1956. His batting declined (442 runs at 11.33 in 41 matches for Cambridge University, with a top score of 36) and by 1956 he was batting at number 10, but his wicket-keeping brought him 65 catches and 30 stumpings for the university, many of them off the leg-spin bowling of Gamini Goonesena.

In 1956 he played for the Gentlemen in both their matches against the Players, at Lord's and Scarborough. He played one County Championship match for Middlesex in 1957, and one first-class match for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), one more for the Gentlemen, and three for D.R. Jardine's XI. He played no first-class cricket after 1959. He captained MCC on a short tour to the Netherlands and Denmark in August 1963.

He served as Treasurer and President of MCC. He was awarded an OBE in the 1999 Queen's Birthday honours for services to cricket. He was a Trustee of the MCC Foundation.

title: Western Australian Polo Association

text:
The Western Australian Polo Association is the governing association of polo clubs in Western Australia.

History
The Western Australian Polo Association was founded in 1903. As polo historian Horace A. Laffaye reminds us, this happened seven years after the establishment of the first polo club in Western Australia, the Perth Polo Club, in 1896. Indeed, polo had first been played at the Fremantle Hunt Club in Fremantle as early as 1892, almost ten years before the establishment of the Western Australian Polo Association.

The association is a member of the Australian Polo Federation. It comprises all polo clubs registered with the Australian Polo Federation which are based in Western Australia. Historically, this included polo clubs in the Goldfields-Esperance region, Cue or Geraldton and several other locations. However, it currently only comprises five polo clubs:
Kojonup Polo Club in Kojonup.
Perth Polo Club in Guildford.
Serpentine Polo Club in Serpentine.
Swan Valley Polo Club in the Swan Valley.
Walkaway Polo Club in Walkaway.

The current President is Greg Johnson. It is headquartered in Serpentine.

title: Oratory of San Filippo Neri, Bologna

text:
The Oratory of San Filippo Neri in Bologna is a restored late-Baroque religious structure in central Bologna. It is located on Via Manzoni. The Oratory was constructed from the sacristy of the adjacent church of the Madonna di Galliera. This church is now called Chiesa dei Filippini Madonna di Galliera e Filippo Neri.

History
The original oratory was commissioned by the Oratorian Order of Philip Neri. It was decorated in the early 18th century (1723-1733) by a series of artists including Alfonso Torreggiani (architect); Angelo Piò (sculptor), and Francesco Monti (painter). Other artists involved included the quadraturae painter Fernando Galli Bibiena (1657-1743) and the stuccoist Carlo Nessi. The oratory now contains the altarpiece of Ecce Homo by Ludovico Carracci. A modern organ was installed on the site of the previous one.

The Oratory as a religious organization was suppressed in 1866, and for a time, the oratory was used as a barracks. In the year 1900, it was reconsecrated for services. The original structure was nearly destroyed by the Allied bombardment during World War II, and was reconstructed using old photographs in 1997–1999.

Another similar baroque oratory in Bologna is the Oratorio di San Carlo.

title: Six P.M.

text:
Six P.M. is the 1946 American release title of the 1944 Soviet film At 6 P.M. After the War (, (also At six o'clock in the evening after the war) by Ivan Pyryev.

Plot
In the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War, a young artillery officer Pavel (Ivan Lyubeznov)  receives a package from an orphanage. In a leave, his comrade an he go to the orphanage to see the children who sent it. Pavel meets there a young woman Varia (Marina Ladynina). They fall in love from the first sight. They agree to meet again in Moscow "in 6 p.m. after the War'. Varia joins the army and becomes an anti-aircraft gunner. Varia and Pavel meet again after the War.

The title
The Russian film title alludes to the agreement of the Good Soldier Švejk and sapper Vodička on their way to the front, to meet at the pub "By the Chalice" (U Kalicha) "at 6 p.m. after the war". In the film, the two young lovers agree to meet at 6 p.m. after the war at the Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge in Moscow. Since then the expression has become a Russian catch phrase.

Another version connects the title with a poem written by the Soviet poet Yevgeniy Dolmatovsky during the Winter war with Finland in 1940. The poem entitled merely '6 P.M." has the line "at 6 P.M. after the War" as the refrain.

title: Bosnians in Chicago

text:
The city of Chicago, Illinois, is tied with St. Louis for largest Bosnian-American population and the largest number of Bosnians outside of Europe, The largest concentration of Bosnians in Chicago live on the North Side.

History
The first Bosnians settled in Chicago in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, joining other immigrants seeking better opportunities and better lives. As the former Yugoslavia continued to find its identity as a nation over the last century, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina sought stability and new beginnings in the city of Chicago, with many intending to return to their homeland.

The Bosnian Muslim community received a new influx of migrants after World War II who were displaced by the war and Communist takeover. As the population increased in the early 1950s, the community invited Sheik Kamil Avdich to become the first permanent imam (religious minister). Under Imam Kamil's leadership, the Muslim Religious and Cultural Home was established to raise funds for a mosque, which opened on Halsted Street in 1957. In 1968, the organization's name was changed to the Bosnian American Cultural Association, and in the early 1970s it purchased land in Northbrook to build a larger mosque and cultural center. The Islamic Cultural Center of Greater Chicago has remained an important center for Muslim religious activity, serving Bosnian and non-Bosnian Muslims in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Demographics
Approximately 40,000 Bosnians came as refugees from the Bosnian War during the 1990s and early 2000s.

Today, approximately 70,000 Bosnians live in Chicago, making both Chicago and St. Louis tied for the largest Bosnian population outside Europe.

Religion
Bosnian immigrants during the early 1900s established the first mosque in the city.

Bosnian Muslims were early leaders in the establishment of Chicago's Muslim community. In 1906, they established Dzemijetul Hajrije (The Benevolent Society) of Illinois to preserve the community's religious and national traditions as well as to provide mutual assistance for funerals and illness. The organization established chapters in Gary, Indiana, in 1913, and Butte, Montana, in 1916, and is the oldest existing Muslim organization in the United States.

title: Nagendranath Basu

text:
Nagendranath Basu (; 6 July 1866 – 11 October 1938) was an archaeologist, encyclopaedist and a nationalist social historian of Bengal.

Early life
Nagendranath was born in the village of Mahesh located in Hooghly district, Bengal Presidency. He was born in a Bengali Kayastha family. He was the great-grandson of Tarini, sister of Ashutosh Deb.

Career

Archaeology and collector
Nagendranath was an official surveyor of Orissa government in Mayurbhanj district, and traveled widely to examine archaeological remnants, compiling numerous sculptures, coins and inscriptions. Most of these expeditions were self-funded and the collections were donated to Bangiya Sahitya Parishad.

He had also obtained a huge collection of ancient manuscripts (puthi) in Bengali, Sanskrit and Oriya, mostly from street-vendors and facilitated University of Calcutta to initiate its library in the Bengali Department.

Literature
Basu started his literary career with poems and novels, but soon became extensively involved in editing.

Editor

Journals
Basu edited multiple journals—the vernacular monthlies of Tapasvini and Bharat, Sahitya Parisad Patrika, the mouthpiece of the Bangiya Sahitya Parishad and Kayastha, the publication of the Kayastha Sabha (which he had founded).

Books and Texts
He also served as the editor of multiple contemporary Bengali authors and published numerous Middle Bengali classics—Chaitanya Mangala by Jayananda, Krishna Prema Tarangini by Raghunath Bhagavat Acharya, Kashi-Parikrama et al.—via Bangiya Sahitya Parishad. Nagendranath was also nominated to the Textbook Committee.

Author
In 1884, he published Shabdendu Mahakosh, an English-Bangla dictionary and in the process came in close contacts with Anandakrishna Basu (a grandson of Raja Radhakanta Deb) and Hara Prasad Shastri, who persuaded him to join The Asiatic Society. Nagendranath went on to write multiple scholarly books and essays on Bengali social history and allied historical affairs, in his roles at the society.

Bangla Bishwakosh
In the late 19th century, Basu gained widespread recognition as the compiler of the Bangla Bishwakosh, one of the most complete encyclopedias in Bangla (at that time). The first volume of Bangla Bishwakosh was compiled by Troilokyanath Mukhopadhyay (and his brother, Rangalal) in 1887; however all the subsequent volumes were compiled and published by Nagendranath, who held the reins from 1888 till the publication of the 22nd (and last) volume in 1911. A 24 volume translation in Hindi was compiled and published by Nagendranath from 1916 to 1931. A second Hindi edition entered compilation from 1933 onward; however, only four volumes were published before his death and the project remains incomplete.

Banger Jatiya Itihasa
A multi-volume work, this was based on kulapanjikas—genealogical histories of prominent families, and has been since considered as a magnum opus. It was sequentially published from 1911 to 1933. Basu gathered these kulapanjikas from ghataks (matchmakers) across the country, who used to hold high acclaim in the Bengali society as professional genealogists (to the extent of arbitrating disputes of societal status) and effectively served as tools of social memory.

The historicity of the source material for his work were rejected in near-entirety by a majority of the contemporary professional historians including Akshay Kumar Maitreya, Ramaprasad Chanda, R. C. Majumdar, R. D. Banerji et al., belonging to the logical-positivist school of thought. Not only the tales were emotionally charged verses with distinct impressions of caste-chauvinism but also they oft-contradicted each other, suffered from dating inaccuracies and failed to be corroborated by archaeological evidence. However Basu and others followed a romantic nativist school and considered them as a treasure trove of indigenous social history, wherein history did not merely mean a linear chronology of dynastic rulers and the state but rather the entirety of local caste-societies (samaja) with its own mythologies, traditions and material achievements, as experienced by the masses and reflected in kulapanjikas.

Material from different kulapanjikas were assimilated to form a history of the broader Bengali society.

Other samaja histories
Basu also wrote Uttarrarhiya Kayastha Kanda (1910), a sub-regional history of Uttar Rarh (a geographical region in North Bengal) by integrating the genealogical histories of various local caste-samajs—Kandi, Jemo, Rashra, Joyjan et al. A volume on the regional history of Burdwan and Kamarupa was also produced in similar manner. Patronage in various forms were provided by local aristocrats, rajahs and zamindars.

Miscellaneous
Basu had authored and edited volumes on the musical heritage of Bengal.

Reception
Basu's historical methods have been challenged. His interpretations are now deemed to be of questionable reliability, courtesy his strong antipathy towards the Muslim rule in India and a rigid acceptance of the-then prevalent caste hierarchy as a social order.

His usage of kulapanjika as authentic source(s) has not only introduced aspects of un-reliability but also espoused a Savarna view of the world; outright myths, legends and popular imaginations (esp. about the greatness of the Aryans and a pan-Bengali identity which aligned with Aryan traits) frequently pervade his works.

Legacy and Honors
He was awarded the title of "Raysaheb" and "Prachyavidyamaharnav". On 17 March 1915,  Kolkata Municipal Corporation renamed Basu's residential street of 8, Kantapukur Lane to Bishvakosh Lane, in commemoration of his pioneer efforts behind Bangla Bishwakosh.

Personal life

Jesse Cockney began skiing at the early age of three years old, in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. He grew up with his father, Angus Cockney as a mentor both athletically and culturally. Cockney's heritage of being an Inuvialuit allowed him to learn from his father's traditional carvings and stories. To further develop his skills in skiing, his family decided it was best to move to Canmore, Alberta, when he was seven years old. Growing up in Alberta's ski programs helped Cockney to excel in skiing. He credits his parents, and a close group of friends as having helped him to achieve his goals. Cockney states that he is proud of his Aboriginal heritage as an Inuvialuit; one of his personal goals is to be seen as a role model for Aboriginal children in Canada.
