In 2018, she co-authored the study “Family taxation: a model to redefine”, in collaboration with Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton and the Université du Québec à Montréal. The conclusions of this study were presented in 2018 by her and the Quebec CPA Order to the Minister of Justice of Québec, the Honorable Sonia Lebel, and during the public consultations launched by the Government of Québec within the framework of family law reform.

In 2019, she signed the study “For global environmental tax system: new tools” presented with Louise Otis at the 2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference of the United Nations.

In 2021, she signed the chapter “Treasury efficiency of the Canadian tax regime for private foundations and their founders” in the book The Routledge Handbook of Taxation and Philanthropy.

Brigitte Alepin is the instigator and co-founder of the international TaxCOOP conferences with the aim of putting international tax competition on the global tax reform agenda.

The TaxCOOP conferences were presented in Montreal in 2015 and 2020 and within international organizations during the years 2016 (World Bank), 2017 (United Nations), 2018 (OECD) and 2019 (COP25 in Madrid). TaxCOOP has been ranked on the prestigious Global Tax 50 of the most influential personalities and organizations in the world in taxation by the International Tax Review.

title: John Frederick Stanford

text:
John Frederick Stanford (1815–1880) was an English barrister, literary scholar and politician.

Life
He was the youngest son of Major Francis William Stanford of the 1st Life Guards, from County Mayo, and his second wife Mary, daughter of William Gorton. He was half-brother to Sir Robert Stanford (1806–1877). He was educated at Eton College, and was admitted a pensioner of Trinity College, Cambridge in 1832. He did not reside there, and was admitted to Christ's College in 1834, matriculating in 1834, and graduating B.A. in 1838, M.A. in 1842.

Stanford was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1841, was called to the bar in 1844, and that year became a Fellow of the Royal Society. He was elected Member of Parliament for Reading in 1849, serving until 1852. He belonged to the s.

Legacy
Stanford left £5,000 to the University of Cambridge which went to support the creation of a dictionary of anglicised words which was finally published as Charles Fennell's Stanford Dictionary of Anglicised Words and Phrases. The project was intended to complete his own Etymological Dictionary dealing with words and phrases from other languages adopted in English, a work that had consumed Stanford in the final years of his life. Stanford had struggled to find a home for the project: it had been rejected by the Philological Society in the 1870s and, when it was offered to Cambridge, Edward Byles Cowell, Walter Skeat and Aldis Wright all considered that the bequest should be rejected, but they were not in the majority when it came to a vote.

He also left £25,000 to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington and £5,000 to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, for a boat named after his mother Mary. There have been two such boats, RNLB Mary Stanford (ON 661) and RNLB Mary Stanford (ON 733).

Works
Stanford wrote pamphlets on political economy. His works included:

Outlines of a Plan of National Education (1839)
Rambles and Researches in Thuringian Saxony (1842)
On the Suppression of Mendicancy in the Metropolis (1847), speech
The Patriots of Italy: an Appeal in Their Behalf (1847)

Tyren Milton Johnson (born July 24, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for SLUC Nancy Basket of the LNB Pro A. A native of Edgard, Louisiana, Johnson played college basketball at Louisiana where he was named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year as a senior in 2009–10. Since 2010 he has competed professionally and was named an NBA Development League All-Star in 2011–12.

College career
After graduating from West St. John High School in Edgard, Johnson began his collegiate career for Louisiana–Lafayette in 2006. His freshman season was inauspicious; he averaged 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per game in 25 games played. He scored a total of 41 points on the year. The following season, 2007–08, was similar to his freshman campaign. Johnson averaged 3.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while only scoring 90 points on the year.

In Johnson's junior season, his productivity markedly increased to 7.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 0.8 steals per game. Despite his increase in personal success, the Ragin' Cajuns only mustered a 10–20 overall record for the year. For the third time in as many seasons, they failed to earn a postseason tournament bid.

The 2009–10 season saw Johnson become an All-Sun Belt Conference performer. His season statistical averages shot up to 17.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game. He led Louisiana–Lafayette in all five categories and was the only Sun Belt player to lead their team in all. The league's coaches voted him as a first team All-Sun Belt selection as well. Johnson became Louisiana–Lafayette's fourth conference player of the year since the school joined NCAA Division I, and the first since Michael Allen in 1993–94. The 2009–10 season saw the Ragin' Cajuns go 9–0 in league play at home; they finished the year with an overall record of 13–17.

Professional career
Johnson was not selected in the 2010 NBA draft. He began his professional basketball career in Belgium for Okapi Aalstar. He returned to the United States in 2011–12 and signed with the NBA Development League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers. In 44 games played, he averaged 11.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. He was called up as a replacement player for the 2012 NBA Development League All-Star Game after Lance Thomas was unable to participate.

The 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons saw Johnson playing in France for Châlons Reims and Hyères-Toulon Var, respectively. While at Hyères-Toulon Var, Johnson averaged 15.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. In September 2014, he signed with Okapi Aalstar for his second stint with the Belgian club.

On July 30, 2015, he signed with Uşak Sportif of the Turkish Basketball League. Johnson left the team in August 2015 after he failed a team physical.

On September 26, 2016, he signed with Lavrio of Greek Basket League. He was officially released on November 19, 2016, in order to attend to family matters back in his homeland.

title: Night Slugs

text:
Night Slugs is an English electronic music record label, established in 2010 by Alex Sushon (also known as Bok Bok) and James Connolly (also known as L-Vis 1990). Spin magazine described the label as having "developed one of the most distinctive sounds in U.K. dance music, a mutable hybrid of grime, house, electro, R&B, techno, hip-hop, and dubstep".

History
Night Slugs was originally started as a London-based club night by DJs/producers Alex Sushon and James Connolly after the two met on Myspace in 2008. The first Night Slugs party was staged at the Redstar in Camberwell in March 2008, though the nights would eventually move to the more centrally located East Village.

After artists featured at the club nights remained unsigned, Sushon and Connolly founded Night Slugs as a record label in January 2010 with the release of Mosca’s Square One EP. That same year the label released their first compilation, Night Slugs Allstars Vol. 1.

Decrees in 1890 authorized the companies Industrial de Melhoramentos do Brasil and The Rio de Janeiro Harbor and Docks to build a set of berths, warehouses and porches. The stretches were chosen between Ilha das Cobras and Arsenal de Marinha, and from Arsenal de Marinha to Ponta do Caju. In 1903, the Federal Government hired the firm C.H. Walker & Co. Ltda., To carry out construction works and improvements in the wharf areas. Subsequently, the Gamboa Wharf and seven warehouses were implemented. The official opening of the port took place on July 20, 1910.

Actuality

title: Faces (Nik Kershaw song)

text:
"Faces" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Nik Kershaw. It appears as the eighth track on Kershaw's highly successful debut album Human Racing, released in 1984.

Lyrically, the song seems to be about drugs or even religion. When Kershaw was asked about the meaning of the song, he said: "I can't remember... but seriously, it's very difficult going back on old songs and trying to remember what you were thinking about when you wrote them... but I seem to remember [that] it was about religion and the hypocrisy of some organised religions."

title: Mitchell Mann

text:
Mitchell Mann (born 26 December 1991) is an English former professional snooker player.

Career

Junior
Mann first played snooker aged 9, after being forced to quit football after a diagnosis of Legg–Calvé–Perthes syndrome, a rare disease which rots the hip bone in young boys. The main highlight of his junior career was winning the Junior Pot Black in 2007, beating Jack Lisowski 76–23 in the final.

Amateur
In 2007–08, Mann at aged 15 began to play in the secondary International Open Series tour with eight places on the professional snooker tour on offer to the top eight in the end of season Order of Merit. In 2008–09, Mann was ranked 11th in the Order of Merit and 46th in 2009–10.

For 2010–11, the PIOS was dropped and replaced by the pro-am Players Tour Championship and an end-of season Q School became the new pro ticket events. In the PTC events, Mann managed several wins against professional players Liang Wenbo, Michael White, Dave Harold and Shaun Murphy notable casualties. He also qualified for main qualifying stages of the 2010 World Open professional ranking tournament through the Landywood Snooker Centre tournament, losing 0–3 to Ben Woollaston in round 1.

Mann was also a regular competitor in the Q School events, where several two-year tour cards were on offer to semi-finalists in each event. Mann came close the third event of the 2012 Q School to winning a tour place, lost a deciding frame to Robbie Williams. This performance however, enabled Mann to be a top up player for 2012 Australian Goldfields Open professional ranking event, where he reached the third round last 64 stage. He also played in the 2013 event via the same method, but lost 5–1 to Stuart Carrington in first round last 128 stage.

Professional
Mann won a two-year card on the professional World Snooker Tour for the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons in June 2014 after winning the 2014 EBSA European Snooker Championships, beating John Whitty 7–2 in the final. He missed the first two ranking tournaments of 2014–15 season as this win came after the qualifying rounds of those events. He picked up his first win on the tour by edging experienced player Peter Lines 6–5 in qualifying for the International Championship. He came through a wildcard round match 6–1 against Niu Zhuang and then made a 142 break during a 6–5 win over Wang Zepeng. In Mann's deepest run in a ranking event to date he lost 6–4 to Michael White in the last 32. He was knocked out in the first round of both the UK Championship and Welsh Open. Mann saw off Alfie Burden 10–4 in World Championship qualifying and won three frames in a row, after Gerard Greene had come from 4–0 down to trail 7–6, to beat him 10–6. He required one more win to reach the biggest tournament in snooker, but lost 10–6 to Alan McManus. Mann was the world number 88 at the end of his first season on tour.

Mann defeated Zhou Yuelong 4–2 at the Welsh Open and then narrowly lost 4–3 to Shaun Murphy. At the final European Tour event, the Gdynia Open, Mann eliminated Sanderson Lam 4–3, Rhys Clark 4–3 (having been 3–0 down) and Jack Lisowski 4–2 to reach the last 16 where he lost 4–1 to Marco Fu. This performance helped him finish 45th on the Order of Merit to earn a new two-year place on the snooker tour. He qualified for the China Open, but was whitewashed 5–0 by Rory McLeod in the first round. By beating Kishan Hirani 10–7 and Matthew Selt 10–9, Mann was one win away from playing in the World Championship and he did so by edging out Dechawat Poomjaeng 10–9. The world number 74 Mann was the lowest ranked player in the event and the only debutant and he went 2–1 up early on, before struggling with his technique to lose 10–3.

After winning just two of his 11 matches before the 2016 UK Championship, Mann described his 6–3 first round victory over Kyren Wilson as a massive relief. He then beat Sam Baird 6–2, before falling 6–3 to Zhang Anda in the third round. At the Scottish Open he eliminated Baird 4–2 and Anthony McGill 4–1, but then lost 4–1 to Sean O'Sullivan. Mann reached the last 32 of an event for the third time this season when he overcame Michael Holt 4–1 and O'Sullivan 4–2 at the Welsh Open and he was defeated 4–2 by Kurt Maflin.
Having dropped off the tour at the end of the 2017/18 season he entered the 2018 Q School. However, he lost in the first round of the first event to former professional Michael Judge. He then lost in the subsequent q school events, thus ensuring that he will have to wait another year before attempting to regain professional status.

On 3 May 2019, it was announced by World Snooker that Mann would receive a two-year tour card to return to the professional tour for the two seasons 2019–20 season and 2020/21. In June 2021 he secured a spot on the 21-22 and 22–23 seasons via the 2021 Q School Order of Merit.

title: Before I Disappear

text:
Before I Disappear is a 2014 American drama film directed by Shawn Christensen. The film is a feature-length adaptation of his 2012 Oscar-winning short film, Curfew. The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest Film on March 10, 2014. The film was acquired for distribution by IFC Films on August 5, 2014, and released on November 28, 2014.

Plot
In New York City, Richie (Shawn Christensen), a downtrodden young man whose girlfriend, Vista (Isabelle McNally), recently disappeared, discovers the corpse of a girl who died from a heroin overdose while he is cleaning bathroom stalls at a nightclub. The club owner, Bill (Ron Perlman), arranges for her body to be removed without notifying the authorities.

At his apartment, Richie attempts suicide by cutting one of his wrists in a bathtub, when he receives a call from his estranged sister, Maggie (Emmy Rossum), asking him to look after her eleven-year-old daughter, Sophia (Fátima Ptacek). Richie goes to her school, where she recites "Because I could not stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson in both English and Mandarin Chinese. Richie takes her to her apartment before heading home, where he attempts suicide by drug overdose. Richie hallucinates a drug dealer calling him on the phone, threatening him by saying he is in the building. Sophia calls, however, and informs Richie that her mother has not returned home.

Richie arrives at the lobby of Maggie's apartment, where he discovers that the drugs he took were Zolafren, intended for menopause. Outside Maggie's apartment, a suspicious-looking woman asks Richie about his sister's whereabouts. After entering, Maggie calls the apartment, indicating to Richie that she is in central booking and upon hearing of the woman, orders Richie to sneak Sophia out of the building.

Richie takes Sophia to a bowling alley where he works. Richie calls central booking, who inform him that his sister was arrested and is awaiting arraignment at 4:30 AM. The owner of the bowling alley, Gideon (Paul Wesley), has Richie brought to the office. Gideon informs him that his girlfriend has been missing for a day, with her last whereabouts being at Bill's nightclub, and produces a photograph, which Richie recognizes as being of the dead woman he saw the night before. Richie denies knowledge of her whereabouts. He calls Bill, who tells him to come in at 1:30 AM to discuss the situation.

As a favor to Richie, Gideon allows Maggie the use of his lawyer, Bruce Warham (Richard Schiff), who informs Maggie that in the public's eyes, she is a mistress, due to her having sexual relations to a married man, despite having been assaulted.

Richie tells Sophia about flip books he made growing up about a character called "Sophia". He brings Sophia to his former apartment in a downtrodden part of town, where he retrieves some flip books and calms his panicked niece by presenting the premise of a girl who dies in intricate ways, but comes back by the next installment. He then collapses from blood loss, but refuses to go to a hospital, due to promising Maggie to keep Sophia safe.

After Sophia tells him the cruel things her estranged father, Darren (Fran Kranz), says to her, Richie assaults him at his work. Richie and Sophia visit Bill, who divulges that Gideon's girlfriend had been resisting his advances and in retaliation, he gave her heroin. Richie returns to Maggie's apartment, where he returns Sophia home. Sophia tells him that his constant love letters to Vista would work if he told her he loves her.

Having reached an epiphany, Richie confronts Gideon, telling him what happened to his girlfriend. Gideon and his armed thugs abduct Richie, then drop him off alongside the road, before speeding off to deal with Bill. Richie re-encounters the blonde woman, who is revealed to be the wife of Maggie's lover. Richie makes his rendezvous with a released Maggie and escorts her to her apartment.

Maggie tells Richie that she does not want him to stay in her daughter's life, fearing him to be a "false idol". Richie tells her how much he looked up to her when they were younger and how much he still looks up to her now. He returns to his bathtub and prepares to kill himself, when Maggie calls him, inviting him over for dinner. Richie writes a much shorter letter to Vista, stating that he loves and misses her, before looking up and seeing an image of her sitting across from him.

Critical response

The film won the South by Southwest Audience Award and was in competition at the Venice Film Festival.

On Rotten Tomatoes it holds a 37% approval rating based on 30 reviews, with an average rating of 6/10. Metacritic gives the film a rating of 47/100 based on 13 critic reviews.

Moviefone called it "visually daring, nearly wondrous, and might be the best late night New York movie since Martin Scorsese's After Hours.
Justin Chang of Variety called it "visually well mounted, but too overwrought to really convince or resonate".
Eric Kohn of Indiewire rated it B− and wrote that the film "contains all the strong moments that distinguished Curfew while surrounding them with a lot of superfluous additions".  Mark Adams of Screen Daily described it as "a stylish and beautifully shot adaptation, strong on performance and a nicely nuanced script, but in the end perhaps lacking an expanded story to suit its feature length." David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote a negative review, in which he criticized the writing and flow of the film as being sporadic, but gave credit to the performances of the actors.

title: Hasamdia massacre

text:
Hasamdia massacre () was the massacre of 33 unarmed Bengali Hindus in the Hasamdia village and nearby areas of the Faridpur District of East Pakistan on 16 May 1971 by the Pakistan Armed Forces. 33 persons were killed in the massacre. On 21 January 2013, the International Crimes Tribunal adjudged Abul Kalam Azad guilty of genocide for his involvement in the massacre and sentenced to death.

Background
Hasamdia village falls under Chatul Union of Boalmari Upazila in Faridpur District. It is located six kilometers to the east of Boalmari railway station. In 1971, Hasamdia and the nearby villages of Moyendia, Rajapur, Srinagar, Poail and Ramnagar had some Hindu population.

Killings
On 16 May 1971, a contingent of the Pakistan Armed Forces led Major Newaz arrived at the Boalmari railway station from Jessore cantonment. They raided the ancestral residence of Shah Mohammad Abu Zafar. Zafar was the leader of Mujib Bahini and the organizer of liberation struggle in the area, but he was not there at the moment. After failing to get hold of Zafar, the military in collaboration with Abul Kalam Azad raided the Hindu houses in Hasamdia, Rajapur, Ramnagar, Poail, Srinagar and Moyendia villages and rounded up 33 persons including 32 Bengali Hindus. The captives were taken to the Ramnagar village where they were executed. They also set fire to the Hasamdia market.

Aftermath
After the liberation of Bangladesh, the victim's next to kin were compensated with BDT 2,000 each. However, the victims were not officially recognized by the state. In 2013, a memorial has been built in memory of the victims at the Shah Zafar Technical College.

title: Rae Sloan Bredin

text:
Rae Sloan Bredin (9 September 1880 – 16 July 1933) was an American painter. He was a member of the New Hope, Pennsylvania school of impressionists.
He is known for his peaceful spring and summer landscapes with relaxed groups of women and children.

Life

Rae Sloan Bredin was born on 9 September 1880 in Butler, Pennsylvania, son of Stephen Lowrie Collins Bredin and Catherine Sloan.
His father was a doctor. He received his primary education in Franklin, Pennsylvania.
He attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, graduating in 1899.
He studied at the New York School of Art from 1900 to 1903 under James Carroll Beckwith, William Merritt Chase and Frank DuMond.
He and Edmund Greacen used Chase's former studio to give art classes.
Bredin went on to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he studied under Thomas Anshutz and Robert Henri.
He first appeared in an Academy exhibition in 1907, and was represented there regularly for the rest of his life.

In 1914 Bredin won the Julius Hallgarten Prize at the annual exhibition of the National Academy of Design.
That year he married Alice Price, a sister of the painter Mary Elizabeth Price and of the influential critic and art dealer Frederick Newlin Price.
They were married on 14 May 1914 on the lawn of the Price family farm in Solebury, Pennsylvania.
They went to France and Italy for their honeymoon, then settled in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
They had two daughters and one son.

Author James A. Michener first came into contact with the Bredin family, Alice's sister Mary Elizabeth Price, and their brother Frederick Newlin Price, when he was teaching one of their younger family members, Celia Price, in Junior High School in Bucks County. This young girl apparently gave Michener his first introduction to art, and he later came to know the work of the other New Hope artists as well. Michener treats these artists very sensitively in a Foreword to the first book on the Pennsylvania Impressionists.

In 1916 Bredin, Charles Rosen, Morgan Colt, Daniel Garber, William Langson Lathrop and Robert Spencer formed The New Hope Group to arrange for exhibitions of their work.
In 1916–17 the New Hope Group exhibition traveled to at least nine locations, including the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Detroit Museum of Art and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington.
Along with Edward Redfield – who was very noticeably absent – these artists form the early core of the Pennsylvania Impressionists.
The significance of this group lies in the fact that they exhibited their work together and were representative of one school of landscape painting.
In 1917 Bredin and Edmund Greacen formed the New York School of Fine Arts in Chase's former studio on 25th Street, but both abandoned that project to go to France the next year to serve in the French "Foyer Du Soldat," a joint service program of the French Army and the American YMCA.  Bredin headed a rest hospital in the rear of the lines near Troyes, and in 1919 was a regional director.

Bredin taught at the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art at Shinnecock Hills, New York; the University of Virginia, Charlottesville; and the Philadelphia School of Design for Women. Several of his pupils at the School of Design for Women formed "The Philadelphia Ten" for the purpose of exhibiting their work, 1917–45. He died after a cancer operation on 17 July 1933 at the Joseph Price Memorial Hospital in Philadelphia. He was aged fifty two. He was a professor at the School of Design for Women at the time of his death.

Work

Bredin's wife and children were the principal subject for his paintings. The best known and well-loved of these is his "The Garden Bench," circa 1920 (private collection) which depicts his young daughters Jean and Barbara, seated with their mother, Alice, surrounded by flowers.
It is one of Bredin's largest works, measuring , and was the subject of a best selling art poster over the past two decades.
Bredin's signature paintings depict lawn fetes on the grounds of his home "Lawn Shadows," which was located on the Delaware Canal, just north of the town of New Hope. These are typically afternoon scenes painted to the rear of the artist's property, with graceful trees and blossoming flowers, with the Delaware River serving as a backdrop. They always include beautiful young women in pastel colored gowns, and often include children and occasionally, even a well-groomed female servant.

Bredin belonged to the group of Impressionists in Pennsylvania whose work was called America's "first truly national expression" by Guy Pène du Bois.
He was a refined and dignified person, and his character shows in his portraits and landscapes.
His paintings often include women and children in relaxed groups, dressed in delicate colors and set in the peaceful landscape of the Delaware River Valley, or in interior settings.
In 1928 he undertook a commission to paint murals of the four seasons and the Delaware Water Gap for the foyer of the New Jersey State Museum. These are now displayed in the New Jersey State House Annex. He exhibited at the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; and the National Academy of Design, New York City.

title: Heberly Run

text:
Heberly Run is a tributary of East Branch Fishing Creek in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately  long and flows through Davidson Township. The watershed of the stream has an area of . Its tributaries include Quinn Run and Meeker Run. The stream also has a number of waterfalls. It is partly in Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 13. The forests near the stream largely consist of second-growth woods.

Course
Heberly Run begins on the top of a mountain in Davidson Township. It flows east for a few tenths of a mile, quickly becoming highly steep. It then turns roughly south and its valley becomes very deep, reaching heights of approximately  within . In this stretch, the stream receives Meeker Run, its first tributary. Eventually, Heberly Run turns southeast and then east, its valley becoming  deep. At the Lewis Falls, it receives Quinn Run and turns southeast. After approximately a mile, the stream's valley becomes  deep. Shortly after this, it enters the valley of East Branch Fishing Creek and reaches its confluence with that creek near the border between Sullivan County and Columbia County.

Heberly Run joins East Branch Fishing Creek  upstream of its mouth.

Tributaries
Tributaries of Heberly Run include Quinn Run and Meeker Run.

Hydrology
At its headwaters, the discharge of Heberly Run is 5,787,000 gallons per day. Downstream of the tributary Meeker Run, the stream's discharge is 12,931,000 gallons per day. At the mouth of Heberly Run, it increases to 24,076,000 gallons per day.

The concentration of aluminum at the headwaters of Heberly Run is 0.24 milligrams per liter and the daily load is . The concentration is 0.18 milligrams per liter and the load is  downstream of Meeker Run. At Heberly Run's mouth, the concentration is 0.15 milligrams per liter and the daily load is .

The acidity concentration at the headwaters of Heberly Run is 4.40 milligrams per liter and the alkalinity concentration is 5.84 milligrams per liter. The daily loads of these substances are  and , respectively. Downstream of Meeker Run, the acidity concentration is 2.87 milligrams per liter and the acidity load is  per day. The alkalinity concentration is 6.83 milligrams per liter and the daily load is . At the mouth of Heberly Run, the acidity concentration is 2.80 milligrams per liter and the concentration of alkalinity is 6.93 milligrams per liter. The daily loads for these substances are  and .

The pH of Heberly Run at its mouth ranges from 4.15 to 6.40, with an average of 5.60. Downstream of Meeker Run, the pH ranges between 3.88 and 6.36. The average pH here is 4.97. At the stream's headwaters, the minimum pH is 3.48 and the maximum pH is 6.30. The average is 4.91.

Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Heberly Run is  above sea level.

There are some ravines in the vicinity of Heberly Run.

Upstream of the waterfalls, there are smooth sandstone outcroppings in the streambed of Heberly Run. The stream has created a "steep and rugged" glen in the plateau that it is located on.

Watershed

The watershed of Heberly Run has an area of . It is difficult to access the stream by road.

There are a number of waterfalls on Heberly Run. These include Lewis Falls, Twin Falls, Big Falls and several others. Most of these waterfalls are fairly small. Big Falls is  high and Lewis Falls is  high. The upper Twin Falls are  high and the lower Twin Falls are  high. There is also an unnamed waterfall that is  high. There are also waterfalls on the tributary Quinn Run.

The vicinity of Heberly Run is described as "very scenic" in the Sullivan County Natural Areas Inventory.

The community of Jamison City is fairly near the watershed of Heberly Run.

Biology
There are second-growth woods in the watershed of Heberly Run. Trees found near the stream include hemlock and black birch. Other plants living there include wood sorrel and violets. A plant species that is threatened in Pennsylvania is found near the stream, as is one that is endangered in the state. The endangered species is becoming less common in the area.

The low pH of Heberly Run makes it difficult for fish to reproduce in the stream.

Recreation
Heberly Run flows through the Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 13. This area is less frequently visited than the nearby Ricketts Glen State Park.

A hiking trail known as Waterfall Wonderland follows Heberly Run for part of its length. A more difficult version of this hike is considerably closer to the stream and at times goes up the streambed itself. The trail requires bushwhacking in places.

title: Sugarloaf Cable Car

text:
The Sugarloaf Cable Car () is a cableway system in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The first part runs between Praia Vermelha and Morro da Urca (at ), from where the second rises to the summit of the  Sugarloaf Mountain.

The cableway was envisioned by the engineer Augusto Ferreira Ramos in 1908 who sought support from well-known figures of Rio's high society to promote its construction. Opened in 1912, it was only the third cableway to be built in the world. In 1972 the cars were updated, growing from a capacity of 22 to 75, and in 1979 it featured in an action scene for the James Bond film Moonraker.  Today it is used by approximately 2,500 visitors every day. The cable cars run every 30 minutes, between 8 am and 10 pm.

History

The development of technical and engineering achievement of the National Exhibition in Commemoration of the First Centenary of the Opening of the Ports of Brazil to the International Trade in 1908 motivated engineer Augusto Ramos to imagine a cable car system in Rio de Janeiro. Ramos had to resort to well-known personages of Rio's high society.  These included Eduardo Guinles and Raymundo Ottoni de Castro Maya, who were powerful figures with a range of developmental interests in the city, to promote the idea of an electric cable system. When the cable car was built, there were only two others in the world: the chairlift at Mount Ulia, in Spain, with a length of , built in 1907, and the Wetterhorn Elevator, in Switzerland, with a length of , built in 1908.

The Sugarloaf Cable Car was opened on 27 October 1912. Its Portuguese-language name comes from the similarities between the cablecars, and the city trams (bondinhos). Envisioned by Augusto Ramos, it is managed by Companhia Caminho Aéreo Pão de Açúcar, a company created by Ramos.

The first cable cars were coated wood and were used for 60 years. Originally, the cable car stopped at Urca. In 1951, an accident occurred in which one of the two cables snapped, leaving 22 people dangling on one cable. One mechanic aboard, Augusto Goncales, climbed out and slithered down to Urca station and helped to build an emergency car to go back up and rescue the other passengers, 12 women and girls, 6 men and 3 children, in an event which took about 10 hours. President Vargas praised Goncales as the "Hero of the Day".
In October 1972, a second cable was added, as well as new cabins, which expanded its capacity from 22 to 75; eventually, it was reduced to 65 to increase comfort.

The cable car was the setting for the 1979 James Bond film Moonraker in which British secret agent James Bond (played by actor Roger Moore) battles with his nemesis Jaws (Richard Kiel) in the middle of the tramway, which eventually results in a tramcar with Jaws in it crashing into the ground station and smashing through the wall, although he miraculously survives. During the filming, the stuntman Richard Graydon slipped and narrowly avoided falling to his death. For the scene in which Jaws bites into the steel tramway cable with his teeth, the cable was actually made of liquorice, although Richard Kiel was still required to use his steel dentures. Also in 1979, Las Vegas-based Steven McPeak walked the tightrope on the steel cable, the highest stretch of the cable car route, a feat which entered him into the Guinness Book of World Records. On 18 January 1983, the route was expanded to Sugarloaf Mountain. In 2007, Falko Traber walked along the rope of the cable railway. On the centenary of the cableway in 2012, Google honored it with a doodle, viewable in Brazil.

This cable car also appears in a few video games as well.  For instance, it appears off in the distance in the Wii version of Need for Speed: Nitro, in one part of the Santa Teresa racing course in Rio de Jainero.

Function

The cable cars run every 30 minutes, between 8 am and 10 pm. They are glassed in for safety and have a capacity of about 65 people.

The first part of the line, from the starting station to the stop off station at Morro da Urca, has a length of , with the maximum speed of  per second (). Morro da Urca is situated at an altitude of . It contains a cafe, snack bar, restaurant, souvenir stands, and a children's play area. The second part of the line, Morro da Urca to Sugarloaf, has a length of , with a maximum speed of  per second (). The latter part of the trip up to  on Sugarloaf, particularly towards the top, is very steep.

Edmund Kara (17 October 192525 May 2001) was an American fashion illustrator and designer, interior designer, and sculptor on the Big Sur coast of California.

Biography

Education and early career
Kara was born in Roselle Park, New Jersey and descended from Eastern European immigrants. His interest in art began at an early age. He attended New Jersey's Arts High School.

At the age of 18, Kara moved to New York City and started working in the display department of Macy's. He soon moved to fashion illustration for advertising agencies. He was introduced to Lena Horne, and was soon designing her performance wardrobe. Kara also designed for Peggy Lee, Sarah Churchill, Keely Smith, Miss Stella Brooks, and Mrs. Nat King Cole, Maria.  Kara then designed for custom collections for Rosette Pennington and Jewel, among other custom houses in both New York and Los Angeles. He went on to create his own label.

Kara also worked in Los Angeles in the 1950's and doing theatrical wardrobe and costume design for both Universal and Paramount Studios. Moreover, he worked doing freelance interior design.

Later years and fine arts career
Finding the business aspects of the fashion industry repetitive, stressful, and stifling, Kara yearned for a change of lifestyle that led him to take a bicycle trip in 1953 around the world for two years. Though he returned to Los Angeles, but he would soon move to Big Sur in 1962 to find his passion of sculpture and establish a simpler existence.

It was in Big Sur that he became a wood sculptor creating a body of work ranging from masks and head figures to abstract pieces. His woodwork was fashioned from wood grown in Big Sur that was found or was given to him. He almost entirely used the reductive method. "I'm a worker. I belong to the working class. I love physical labor, that's why I chose wood," he told writer Rick Deragon in 1990.

Kara focused solely on creating art for almost 40 years in the isolated setting of his coastal studio. Images of Kara in his studio can be seen in Kurt Edward Fishback's book of photographs entitled Art in Residence: West Coast Artists in their Spaces. Kara said to David J. Brown, "I thought, capitalism annihilates creativity because you start working for bucks, rather than just working to be an artist."

Showings, commission and public collections
Though Kara focused on producing his work, he did have several notable showings and his work appeared in locations around California. In 1965, his redwood sculpture of Elizabeth Taylor was commissioned for and appeared in Taylor's film The Sandpiper. This film brought him exposure in Hollywood and beyond. "Elizabeth came to see it to make sure I was not doing something outrageous. She approved," Kara told Curtis. A short promotional film called Statue for the Sandpiper (an original movie promotion) features Kara in action. He was flown to the unveiling in Paris where the actors and producers viewed and commented on the piece.

In 1990, Kara held a retrospective show of his collection in Los Angeles. It was one of the only times the entire collection was shown at one time. Kara also created several large door pieces as commissions for private collectors in Florida for a 12,000 square foot home and for another 18,000 square foot home in Walnut Creek. He later created doors for the Congregation Beth Israel Temple in Carmel Valley. He also created doors for Clint Eastwood and Maggie Johnson in Pebble Beach when they were married.

Kara's work can be seen in Big Sur at the Café Keva and at the famous restaurant, Nepenthe, where the 'Phoenix Bird' statue perches above the ocean and landmark for tourist and locals alike.

Below is a list of his significant works on display in the United States:

 'Janus'Vero Beach Museum of Art
 'Five Avatars'Self-Realization Fellowship
 'Seven Point Flame'Doors for Congregation Beth Israel, Carmel Valley
 'Double Helix'Monterey Peninsula College
 'Phoenix Bird'Nepenthe Restaurant
 'Turtle Fountain'Café Keva

Kara's artistry can be seen in his work ranging from religious, political, and socially significant pieces, to the mythical and esoteric. Kara's collection can still be seen online or by appointment.

title: Paul Langen

text:
Paul Langen (12 January 1893 – 16 March 1945) was a German teacher who opposed the national socialist regime and spoke out against Nazi propaganda and the continuation of World War II. He was arrested by the Gestapo and convicted of Wehrkraftzersetzung ("subversion of the war effort") in 1943. He died in prison from typhus.

Childhood and early life
Paul Langen was born on 12 January 1893 in Nippes, Cologne, the son of a machinist and the youngest of five children. His teachers described him as a "good but difficult" pupil who "refused to subordinate himself". After graduating from the Realgymnasium with the Abitur in 1913, he attended a business school and studied political science and economics (Staatswissenschaften) at the universities of Bonn and Cologne until 1914.

At the breakout of World War I in August 1914, Langen joined the army as a pioneer. In 1918 he was released from service after "incapacitation due to typhoid fever and malaria".

After the war, he studied philosophy and history at the universities of Bonn and Frankfurt. He also attended a teachers' college in Wipperfürth. When he was offered a position as a teacher in Hetzenholz near Much in 1920, he withdrew from university studies. In 1922 he married Clara Müller, a woman from Siegburg, with whom he had three children. In 1923 he completed his formal education as a teacher with the 2nd Teacher's Exam.

Langen's experiences during World War I affected his mental well-being. After becoming the headmaster of a Hauptschule (general school) near Gummersbach in 1928, he engaged in a bureaucratic struggle with the school authorities regarding a disagreement over the adjustment of his salary depending on the duration of his war service. In 1931, the local schools inspector decided to relocate him to another school due to neurasthenia. Langen chose to be relocated to the primary school in Holzlar because of the village's location near Bonn and the river Rhine. In 1931 he became the school's headmaster.

During Nazi Germany
According to his daughter Hiltigunt, Paul Langen and his wife Clara were the only people in Holzlar who did not vote for the NSDAP in the federal election of March 1933, which was a fact well known in the village. She further claims that the day after the election, two stormtroopers appeared on the schoolyard "to punish him", however "he threw them over the fence".

In contrast to these claims, Langen joined the NSDAP later in May 1933 (membership No. 2,101,008). It has been speculated that without becoming a party member, it might have become difficult for him to remain a teacher after the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service was passed in April 1933. According to § 4 of this law, "civil servants whose former political activity casts doubt on their absolute loyalty to the national state may be released from service", effectively forcing civil servants to join the party.

Despite his NSDAP membership, Langen publicly opposed the Nazis and Nazi propaganda in many ways. He often listened to BBC radio with his pupils and publicly called the Nazis "criminals". Many of his former pupils remembered him speaking out against the Nazis and the war in conversations with their parents. After the end of World War II, the school compiled a report about Langen. This report states that Langen was known to his colleagues as "an outspoken opponent of national socialism who defended his opinion publicly". A protocol of an interrogation of Langen on 19 January 1944, when was already imprisoned in the Siegburg penitentiary, stated that "his statements reveal opposition to the state in its current form".

Arrest and death
When he visited his daughter Hiltigunt in a labour camp in Houverath near Euskirchen, he told her and some other girls about his opinion regarding the war and that he believed a continuation of the war to be futile. One of the girls reportedly filed a complaint to the camp overseer, who in turn reported the incident to the authorities. The resulting investigation revealed that Langen "spoke out publicly against national socialism".

Langen was arrested by the Gestapo on 17 December 1943 and brought to the Gestapo prison of Cologne for interrogation. After a few days he was moved to the Cologne prison Klingelpütz, a wing of which was used for Gestapo prisoners. As the Klingelpütz was damaged in the Allied bombing of Cologne in 1944, he was later moved to the Siegburg penitentiary. He died there from epidemic typhus on 16 March 1945.

Legacy
In 1954, a major street in Holzlar was named in his honour. On 22 June 2010, a Stolperstein commemorating Langen was placed at the Holzlar primary school.

Artist's Words in eternity

"
DIALOGUE WITH LOVE

The world is infinite ...

This is sphere, every point of which is its center, where I would not go, I do not go beyond its geometric size. I always stay in place, in the center. But I'm getting old. Why?

We can assume that I'm moving, not in space, but only just in time. Transitional corridor so narrow! Do not overtake, not to lag behind, just went through stops moving. When I stop moving, stepping over me ... Holt is not – there are only fellow travelers!

And yet there are trucks to move in space! This is – a thought! Its sender is me, sadly wandering temporary corridor, leaving on its walls the traces of its fragile, coming in all the big useless shell. I'm fabulously rich! My condition is you. You – my Love!

I've never seen you, but I know exactly where you are. You – in the center!

When I speak to you, you hear me!

If it is not, then it's not you.

When you turn to me, I hear you!

If it is not, then it's not me.

– I love you!

– That's Me!

– Do you love me?

– That's Me!

– I do not know you ...

– It's not me!

– I do not see you ...

– Do you feel me!

– How do you know?

– It's You!

– And if I'm gone?

– You will be always.

– But I'm sick?

– You can not hurt, can only hurt your shell.

– But, I'm in it?

– The shells of many, infinite in number, and you all at the same time!

– But where are they, how do you find them?

– They and center!

– They can be seen?

– They can feel ...

– I love you!

– Do you feel!

– Do you love me?

– I feel!

"I live in a small house, without TV, computer. I have the oven, cook where he is, well. The sun does not hide, so this tan – laughing artist. – Topics for the works taken out of life. Faces of my heroes in the pictures look like mine. Probably, all the artists have maintained that the paint in the first place itself. "

"
"
My dear friends gold! I am happy that you got me so high value. I will try to stay in the same capacity to not disappoint you and will continue tirelessly to create their masterpieces, that they bring you joy. Embrace. Sincerely Yours Oles Semernya of Burian "Turkish valley."

Neela mistakes this for love and attempts to romance Rajasekaran who tells her the whole truth. She hates Rajasekarana and flees. After some convincing by the brothel madame and Rajasekaran accepting his guilt instead of defending himself, she chooses to forgive and he adopts her as his daughter.
