title: Ohannés Gurekian

text:
Ohannés Gurekian (, ; August 24, 1902, in Constantinople – March 1, 1984, in Asolo) was an Armenian architect, engineer, and alpinist.

Biography

Early life and education
Ohannés Gurekian, son of Léon Gurekian and Mariamik Azarian, was born August 24, 1902, in Constantinople. He emigrated with his parents to Italy in 1907, living briefly in Rome and then in Asolo. He studied at the Armenian College Moorat Raphaël in Venice.

At his father's direction, Ohannés enrolled in the school of engineering at the University of Padova, where he received a degree in Civil Engineering in 1924, and completed a specialization in Hydraulic Engineering in 1926 (though he never worked as a hydraulic engineer). Immediately after completing his specialization, he was apprenticed to the Architect Ballatore di Rosanna at his firm in Turin.

The Dolomites
After a brief period of collaboration with the engineer Bolzon, of Asolo, Ohannés moved to Frassené Agordino, which he had gotten to know as a regular vacation spot since 1922. Attracted by the mystique of the Dolomites, he established himself there as a civil engineer.

As a student, Ohannés had belonged to the Treviso chapter of the Italian Alpine Club and, having moved to Frassené, he joined the Agordo chapter. There he met the "Axis of Alpinism" Attilio Tissi, Giovanni and Alvise Andrich, and Domenico Rudatis. On the 25th of August 1929, he became the first to climb the "Torre Armena" peak of the Agner Mountain group.

In 1932 he was appointed Special Commissioner of Agordo's chapter of the Italian Alpine Club and, from 1933 to 1946, he was its president.
In 1935 he collaborated with Ettore Castiglioni to draft the section of a guidebook for the Italian Alps relating to the southern chain of the Pale di San Martino.

He is considered a pioneer of modern alpinism of the Eastern Alps, and the refuge at Malga Losch, at the feet of the massif of Mount Agner (which he considered "his mountains") was dedicated to him posthumously.
He dedicated himself to the promotion of tourism for Frassené, where he founded the first Italian "Pro Loco" association and in 1933 he became a member of the Provincial Tourism Council of (Belluno).
From 1934 to 1946, in addition to his professional activities, he taught at the Mining Institute of Agordo.

In 1936 he Married Dina Della Lucia Dies (of Frassené). They had three children: Armen, Mannig, and Haïg.

Professional life
At the start of the Second World War Ohannés moved definitively to Asolo despite continuing, for the rest of his life, to retain professional ties in the Agordino valleys.

At the end of the war he was called to take part in the Committee for the Reconstruction of the Province of Belluno. He identified the traditional architectural styles which should be adopted for each area in need of reconstruction. He also designed the Reconstruction Plan for the town of Caviola, which had been burned down in retaliation by Nazi troops in (20–21 August 1944).

In 1948, driven by the necessity of updating his skills after the unproductive wartime, he enrolled in the School of Architecture and Urbanism of the Institut Polytechnique at the University of Losanna - Rector of architecture Jean André Tschumi. Despite Having completed his coursework there, his own work did not leave him with enough time to matriculate.
His Professional work was fundamentally directed towards Urbanism, to public buildings, and to Industrial structures.

From 1964 on, his sons (first Armen and then Haig) collaborated with him in his Architectural Practice. He died in Asolo on 1 March 1984.

title: Stausee Solis

text:
The Stausee Solis ("Solis reservoir") is a reservoir on the Albula river, located between Alvaschein, Stierva and Tiefencastel, in the canton of Graubünden.

Geography

Its surface area is . It was built in 1986 by the Electric Power Company of Zurich (ewz). A dam of  height and a crown length of  holds back the water in the lake. The water in the reservoir is used for energy production further downstream in the power plants Sils and Rothenbrunnen. This dam is used as daily storage.

Because of the small size of the lake compared with its catchment area sediment aggregation plays an important role. Around  of sediment settles down every year in the lake, so that by 2012 about 50% of the reservoir volume of  was occupied by sediment. In 2012 a sediment bypass tunnel (SBT) was built, which operates only a few days every year, but eliminates sedimentation in the reservoir almost completely. But there are many investigations due to abrasion in the tunnel to make.

The dam is located just east of the Solis Viaduct of the Albula Railway.

title: Arthur Harper (trader)

text:
Arthur Harper (1835–1897) was an Irish-born Yukon River prospector, trader, and explorer, recognized as the first man to enter the Yukon country seeking gold. He mined in California during the 1850s, and British Columbia during the 1860s, before travelling to the Yukon region in 1871. He reached Fort Yukon in 1873, and managed a store with Jack McQuesten at the Fortymile River. Harper formed a trading partnership with McQuesten and Captain Al Mayo; their company founded Fort Reliance in 1875 and other posts in the Yukon region. Harper was known as the best prospector of the trio, and while he did not achieve major success in his pursuit of gold, he sometimes directed others to finds. He traded and prospected in Alaska until just before his death.

Early years
Arthur Harper was born in County Antrim, present-day Northern Ireland, in 1835. He was educated in local schools, and survived the Great Famine of the late 1840s. At the age of 20, he left Ireland for California, drawn to prospecting and mining. He searched for gold, but gained mostly experience in prospecting. During the 1860s, he relocated to British Columbia. His prospecting for minerals was devoted mostly to searching for gold.

Alaska
Harper left British Columbia in 1871, before it became more developed. In 1873, he reached Fort Yukon from the Mackenzie River by way of the Porcupine River, and is credited as the first European to enter the area in the search for gold. He managed a store at Fort Yukon with Jack McQuesten (known as Yukon Jack) beside the Fortymile River. They developed a traders' partnership with Captain Mayo, which the three continued for years. They were known for effectively dealing both with prospectors and the Alaska Native peoples. The three partners each married young Alaska Native women and had families there. In 1875, Harper, McQuesten, and Mayo started a trading post that they called Fort Reliance on the Yukon River, supplying miners up and downriver. It became a place of reference in the area, to the extent that prospectors named creeks and rivers in relation to distance from the post, as in Fortymile River and Sixtymile River. Later Dawson City developed about  upriver.

After 1889, Harper relocated to the outlet of the Pelly River. After the United States purchased Alaska, it drove the British–Canadian Hudson's Bay Company out. Near the site of Robert Campbell's old Hudson's Bay Company trading post, Harper founded a new post named Fort Selkirk. Harper and Mayo also founded a trading post in Tanana, near the Athabascan site of Nuklukayet. Harper did some mining there, after years of experience in California and British Columbia.

Personal life
After establishing their post, Harper and his partners all married young Athabascan Koyukon women. In 1874, Harper at age 39 married Seentahna (née Bosco), whom he called Jennie, at Koyukuk. Jennie was 14 years old and from the Koyukuk River region. Mayo married Jennie's first cousin, who had taken the name Margaret at the Russian mission school. McQuesten married Satejdenalno, also known as Katherine, or Kate, who had also been educated at the Russian mission school. She spoke Koyukon, Russian and English. Jennie did not have that kind of experience and preserved her traditions.

The Harpers had eight children together, six sons and two daughters: including Andrew, Fred, Sam, and Walter, the youngest boy. An educated man himself, Harper sent the seven older children to boarding schools, mostly in San Francisco, California, each beginning at age five. He felt the mission schools did not offer sufficient quality of education. When his five sons returned, they could no longer speak any of the Athabascan languages. His two daughters later obtained teaching degrees at San Francisco Teachers College. Both of his partners also sent their children "Outside" for education.

After the couple separated permanently in 1895, Harper left for Dawson, and briefly remarried. Jennie reared their youngest son, Walter, in a traditional Koyukon manner. Walter became a mountain climber and guide, and in 1913 made the first ascent of Mount McKinley (Denali), with the expedition of Hudson Stuck. Harper died of tuberculosis in 1897 in Yuma, Arizona.

Legacy
Harper, "the first man who ever came to the Yukon country seeking gold", was selected for the Alaska Mining Hall of Fame because of his importance in trade and helping develop the Yukon. Mount Harper in the Ogilvie Mountains, Mount Harper, a  peak in the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, and Harper Bend, an area of the Tanana River, are named in his honour.

title: Open coloring axiom

text:
The open coloring axiom (abbreviated OCA) is an axiom about coloring edges of a graph whose vertices are a subset of the real numbers: two different versions were introduced by  and by .

Statement
Suppose that X is a subset of the reals, and each pair of elements of X is colored either black or white, with the set of white pairs being open in the complete graph on X. The open coloring axiom states that either:
X has an uncountable subset such that any pair from this subset is white; or
X can be partitioned into a countable number of subsets such that any pair from the same subset is black.
A weaker version, OCAP, replaces the uncountability condition in the first case with being a compact perfect set in X. Both OCA and OCAP can be stated equivalently for arbitrary separable spaces.

Relation to other axioms

OCAP can be proved in ZFC for analytic subsets of a Polish space, and from the axiom of determinacy. The full OCA is consistent with (but independent of) ZFC, and follows from the proper forcing axiom.

OCA implies that the smallest unbounded set of Baire space has cardinality . Moreover, assuming OCA, Baire space contains few "gaps" between sets of sequences — more specifically, that the only possible gaps are Hausdorff gaps and analogous (κ,ω)-gaps where κ is an initial ordinal not less than ω2.

title: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

text:
Rondae Jaquan Hollis-Jefferson (born January 3, 1995) is an American-Jordanian professional basketball player for the TNT Tropang Giga of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He spent six seasons in the NBA, and played college basketball for the Arizona Wildcats.

Early life and high school career

Hollis-Jefferson was born and raised in Chester, Pennsylvania, the son of Rylanda Hollis, a single mother who worked two jobs as a dietary supervisor and bartender. He grew up with older brother Rahlir, who also became a professional basketball player. Their father was frequently absent and spent some time in jail. Hollis-Jefferson began honing his game when he was 12. At a young age he took a strong interest in defense and acknowledged that he scored only because he was taller than his peers.

He attended Chester High School where he began an outstanding basketball career under head coach Larry Yarbray. The small forward became the first player to ever be named Delaware County Player of the Year for multiple seasons. He was also instrumental in Chester's first-ever undefeated season. The Clippers finished 91–5 in his last three years at the school and won two state titles. In his senior year, he lost in the state title game to Lower Merion. He finished his career with more than 1,000 points and a school-record 780 rebounds.

Hollis-Jefferson participated in the 2013 McDonald's All-American Game against future Arizona teammate, Aaron Gordon. Following the event, he took part in the Jordan Brand Classic with some of the most highly recruited high school stars in the nation such as Julius Randle. At the conclusion of Hollis-Jefferson's years with the Clippers, he was tabbed the sixth-best small forward of his class by 247Sports.com and the fifth best by Rivals.com. He eventually chose to attend the University of Arizona and represent the school through their successful basketball program over other possibilities such as Florida and Syracuse.

College career

In his freshman season with Arizona, Hollis-Jefferson became known as fierce scorer, rebounder, and shot-blocker despite his relatively small size. The start of his season was marked with 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists against Cal Poly off the bench. He posted his first double-double in a game against Oregon. He improved on his free throw shooting as his freshman year progressed. Throughout the season, Hollis-Jefferson mainly functioned as the team's sixth man, but became a starter after Brandon Ashley was lost for the season with a foot injury in the Wildcats' 60–58 upset loss to California on February 1. Hollis-Jefferson ended up starting 6 of 38 games played due to the roster that was dominated by the likes of Aaron Gordon, but still got his name on the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team. In his freshman year, Hollis-Jefferson averaged 9.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game. "It's a lot different than just waking up, going to school and playing basketball for Chester," said Hollis-Jefferson of his freshman year. "In the beginning of the season, I was lost. But it's not about who's starting, it's about who finishes. It stuck with me for about a month or so, playing behind people. I went along with it and kept playing. I need to make people respect my shot. I know I can shoot it. I have to stay in attack mode."

As a sophomore, Hollis-Jefferson increased his averages to 11.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. He improved in his leadership and offense. As a sophomore, he was voted first-team All-Pac-12, and was named to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team. He helped lead the Wildcats to two consecutive Elite Eight appearances in the NCAA tournament, losing to Wisconsin on both occasions. On April 7, 2015, Hollis-Jefferson declared for the 2015 NBA draft, forgoing his final two years of college eligibility. "I don't know if I've enjoyed coaching a player more than I've enjoyed coaching Rondae," coach Sean Miller said.

title: Routing in cellular networks

text:
Network routing in a cellular network deals with the challenges of traditional telephony such as switching and call setup.

Most cellular network routing issues in different cells can be attributed to the multiple access methods used for transmission. The location of each mobile phone must be known to reuse a given band of frequencies in different cells and forms space-division multiple access (SDMA).

Networks
FDMA is one of the multiple access methods used in cellular networks. 50 MHz blocks of communication channel are assigned, which lie in radio frequency range and contain an equal number of uplinks (terminal to base station) and downlinks (base station to terminal). One or more bidirectional channels are carried by 10-90 band pairs. The digital networks additionally make use of either CDMA or TDMA methods.

A special service called mobility management provides handover and roaming.  Terminals (handsets) can move from one place to another during the call and require calls to be handed over from one channel to another.  Soft handover uses the same frequency channel.  The same terminals can operate in the same area covered by different service providers, which is known as roaming.

title: The Safety Net

text:
The Safety Net () is a 1979 novel by Heinrich Böll. An English translation by Leila Vennewitz was published in 1981.

Content
The story centres on Fritz Tolm, an aging art historian turned newspaper publisher, who is elected as the head of the "Association", which is a secretive "power centre" in West Germany composed of bankers, industrialists and high-ranking members of the media. He replaces the steel magnate Pliefger. In particular it explores the way that he is subjected to a huge amount of security as a result of his position (he is held in a house overridden by police surveillance and lives in fear of terrorist violence from the left-wing underground) and the effect that this has on him and his family - his wife, Kathe, his daughter Sabine, and his sons Herbert and Rolf.

The novel is constructed on the basis of a polyphony of voices and perspectives; chapters are narrated from the point of view of Tolm, his daughter Sabine, Helga Hendler (the wife of Sabine's lover), Hubert Hendler (Sabine's lover), Rolf Tolm, Holzpuke (the head of Tolm's security operations), Erna Breuer (Sabine's neighbour), Bleibl (an industrialist with a past, unlike Tolm, with links to the Nazis), Kathe, the terrorist Veronica, Rolf's wife, Fritz's daughter-in-law, and Rolf's lover Katharina. The wide variety of perspectives has a decentring effect on the novel, meaning that it is difficult to read a single line of argument or world-view from it.

As with numerous other works by Böll, the novel's setting is in Cologne and the villages and farms that surround it.

Themes
Böll's work focuses upon the question of how well post-war German society operated, specifically through its embrace of capitalism and the globalised free market. In particular he attempts to explore and understand the impulse towards violence and insurrection that drove groups such as the Baader-Meinhof Gang. At that point many conservatives, particularly associated with the Springer publishing concern, were urging a crackdown on public order that would involve a stringent limitation of civil liberties.

Tolm is represented as a markedly unambitious figure, despite his ascension to the position in the "Association", and is motivated by fear of other companies taking over his industry (such as Zummerling). His capitalism is, therefore, characterised by a certain world-weariness, raising questions about the post-war German "economic miracle".

It also discusses the balance between security and liberty and the limitations of surveillance and a 'safety net' preventing disorder and chaos.

title: Thinking Out Loud

text:
"Thinking Out Loud" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran recorded for his second studio album, × (2014). It was written by Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge, and produced by frequent collaborator Jake Gosling. It was released in the US on 24 September 2014 as the album's third single.

In the UK, the song spent 19 weeks within the top 40 before peaking at number one in early November 2014; it became Sheeran's second number-one single there. The single has also reached the top spot in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Denmark, the Netherlands, Slovakia and South Africa, and peaked at number two on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100. It was Sheeran's highest-charting single in North America until "Shape of You" topped the charts in both countries in 2017.

In June 2015, "Thinking Out Loud" became the first single to spend a full year in the UK top 40. In September 2015, it also became the seventh single to have achieved triple platinum certification in the UK during the 21st century. In October 2015, the song became the first to be streamed over 500 million times on Spotify, is also one of the most streamed songs in the UK and has been viewed more than 3.4 billion times on YouTube as of April 2022.

"Thinking Out Loud" received nominations for Grammy Award for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 58th Grammy Awards, winning the latter two.

Background and writing

Sheeran wrote "Thinking Out Loud" with Amy Wadge, a Wales-based singer-songwriter. He met Wadge when he was 17 years old and they had since written several songs together. Of these, five songs composed the extended play Songs I Wrote with Amy, which Sheeran independently released on 4 April 2010. Wadge also co-wrote the song "Gold Rush", a track on the deluxe version of Sheeran's debut album, + (2011).

In February 2014, Wadge visited Sheeran at home for a "chilling-out time". Around that time, Sheeran's second studio album, ×, was nearly completed. Wadge revealed that her visit was not supposed to be a songwriting session. While Sheeran was taking a shower, Wadge played a few chords on a guitar. The tune caught the attention of Sheeran and he ran downstairs. Sheeran suggested working with the tune, but only after returning home from dinner, work began. The melody developed from a simple riff. According to Sheeran, he composed the melody on a guitar in a manner which was "very Van-like", referring to Van Morrison. The Irish musician has been an inspiration to Sheeran since a young age, and Sheeran wanted to capture that vibe when he composed the song.

In the kitchen, Sheeran and Wadge began writing the song at 2:00am on 4 February 2014, and completed it in 20 minutes. According to Wadge, the lyrical content resulted from her and Sheeran's talking about "everlasting love", inspired by the circumstances relevant at that time. Sheeran also revealed that the lyrics were inspired by his then-girlfriend, Athina Andrelos, whom Sheeran met in early 2014. Sheeran would later explain that he wrote the song "in a relationship at a really, really happy point". Sheeran revealed that he also had his grandparents in mind and maintaining love in old age ("'til we're 70" in the lyrics), and the early version of the chorus was "I'm singing out now" before it became "I'm thinking out loud".  Immediately after writing, Sheeran recorded the song on his phone. He was keen to include "Thinking Out Loud" on the second album. He properly recorded the song the following day at the Sticky Studios, a recording facility located in the small Surrey village of Windlesham, and informed Wadge of its inclusion on the album. It became the last song recorded for the album. For "Thinking Out Loud", Sheeran sought the assistance of Jake Gosling, who produced much of his debut album and had earlier contributed tracks, four of which appear on the standard version of the second album.

Composition

"Thinking Out Loud" is a romantic ballad with blue-eyed soul influences. Sheeran referred to it as a "walking down the aisle song". In the lyrics, Sheeran reflects on "getting older and fidelity and love in a fairly conventional context", according to Eric Clarke, professor of music at University of Oxford.

The song was composed in the key of D major with a tempo of 79 beats per minute. Sheeran's vocals range from B2 to A4. In the mix, Sheeran's voice is "unusually" loud over the instruments, which, for Mike Senior of the music technology magazine, Sound on Sound, is "surprisingly rare" in contemporary records. Senior analysed the vocal elements in which he found that, in spite of several notes sung off pitch, "the overall framework of the vocal remains fundamentally in tune".

Journalists noted similarities between "Thinking Out Loud" and "Let's Get It On", a 1973 single by soul musician Marvin Gaye. Andrew Unterberger of Spin wrote that "the gently loping four-note bass pattern and crisp '70s soul drums absolutely smack of the Gaye classic, as do the embrace-insistent lyrics and general candlelit-bedroom feel". Jason Lipshutz of Billboard called it a "sleek update" of the classic.

Release

Prior to the album release, Sheeran debuted "Thinking Out Loud" on 24 May 2014 by performing it live on the British music television show, Later... with Jools Holland. The debut followed the release of the video accompaniment to "Sing", the album's lead single. "Thinking Out Loud" was immediately perceived as having contrast to "Sing", which is a "high-energy funk/R&B-infused song". "Thinking Out Loud" became available on 18 June 2014 as an "instant grat" download for consumers who pre-ordered × on the iTunes Store. It served as a promotional single from ×, which was released two days later. On the standard version of the album, "Thinking Out Loud" is the next-to-last track, the last being "Afire Love".

"Thinking Out Loud" was initially serviced to Australian radio on 14 August 2014 and later released on 24 September 2014. It served as the third of five singles released from the album; it followed the songs, "Sing" and "Don't", the first and second single respectively. According to Sheeran, no one from his record label wanted to release "Thinking Out Loud" as a single, favouring over "Photograph" as the "big song". "Photograph" was supposed to be the main single, but when "Thinking Out Loud" spent several weeks within the top 20 on the UK Singles Chart albeit not receiving rotation, the latter song was kept as the third single. "Photograph" was later released as the fifth and final single. "Thinking Out Loud" was issued on 7" vinyl exclusively as part of the Black Friday Record Store Day, which was celebrated on 28 November 2014. The vinyl record included, as a B-side, the live version of "I'm A Mess" which Sheeran performed at the Lightship 95 studio. On 26 December 2015, Sheeran released an Irish-language version of "Thinking Out Loud" for the Irish album CEOL 2016.

Critical reception
Lauren Murphy of The Irish Times noted that the "injection of blue-eyed soul" on the song is "enjoyable", and that it "makes Sheeran's aptitude for melody difficult to dismiss". Jim Beviglia of the American Songwriter thought that although "tidy", "Thinking Out Loud" comes "toothless" compared with the "daring confessionals" Sheeran made on the other songs.

The Washington Post writer, Allison Stewart, has hailed the song as "a blatant and mercilessly effective bid for 'I'll Be'-style wedding-song immortality". Billboard magazine's Jason Lipshutz, commented that Sheeran "pushes this bold stab at romance past its sappiest moments, and ends the album on a likable note". Jamieson Cox of Time wrote that "the album’s greatest moment by a country mile is relegated to its penultimate slot", referring to "Thinking Out Loud".

Chart performance
"Thinking Out Loud" topped several charts in Europe, Oceania and South Africa, and reached the top ten in several other countries in North America (see Weekly charts below). Upon the album's release, the single debuted at number 26 on the UK Singles Chart. On 2 November 2014, "Thinking Out Loud" topped the UK Singles Chart in its 19th week in the Top 40 becoming Sheeran's second UK number one and breaking the record for the longest ascent to number one. In the week ending 27 June 2015, it had spent a record consecutive 52 weeks (or a full year) inside the top 40. Around the same time, the single had accumulated 1.65 million combined sales and streams; it became one of the 161 million-selling singles and the 26th best-selling of the 2010s in the UK. On 18 September 2015, the British Phonographic Industry certified the single triple platinum for combined sales (including streaming points) of 1,800,000 units. As of September 2017, the song has sold 1,219,000 copies with 130 million streams, making a total of 2,521,000 units sold in the United Kingdom. In November 2022, its certification was upgraded to septuple platinum, denoting sales and streams of over 4,200,000.

In the US, "Thinking Out Loud" peaked at number two on the all-encompassing chart Billboard Hot 100; the single became Sheeran's highest-charting single until the release of "Shape of You" in 2017. It remained the runner-up spot for eight consecutive weeks, a chart feat last held in 2004. "Thinking Out Loud" was kept off the top spot by "Uptown Funk", although it outperformed the latter song for a week in February 2015 on the Billboard Digital Songs. On other specific US charts, "Thinking Out Loud" reached number one on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs for the week ending 21 February 2015, marking Sheeran's first. For the week ending 21 March 2015, "Thinking Out Loud" held the top position on the Billboard Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs, and Adult Contemporary charts, becoming the fourth song in history to lead all three adult charts simultaneously. In celebration of Google Play's fifth anniversary, Google announced "Thinking Out Loud" as the top-selling song on the platform. "Thinking Out Loud" is Sheeran's best-selling song in the United States, with 5,622,000 copies sold as of September 2017.

On streaming services
In the UK, Sheeran's native country, "Thinking Out Loud" claimed the record for the most streams in a single week in December 2014. The track accumulated over 1,638,000 streams, and subsequently achieved a personal best of 1,850,000 streams in the week ending 21 December 2014. This record has since been broken by several songs.

In April 2015, the song ranked as the most popular based on the 2.8 million sleep-themed playlists created by Spotify users. Sleep is one of the company's most popular categories that, according to Spotify, "people also use for general relaxation and to help themselves unwind". The Guardian columnist Tim Dowling suggested that the report indicated "very popular, slightly mellow songs that keep cropping up on sleep playlists" but not a list of a "carefully curated journey to unconsciousness".

In October 2015, "Thinking Out Loud" set the record of most streams of a song on Spotify, having accumulated over 500 million streams. The company created the "Sheerio Index", an interactive graphic map which showed where Sheeran was most popular. The color-based map indicated that Sheeran was most popular in Denmark. It was surpassed a month later by "Lean On", a song by Major Lazer and DJ Snake featuring MØ.

Music video

Emil Nava directed the video accompaniment to the single. Most of it was filmed in the Crystal Ballroom at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. The video was shot continuously using a 16 mm film camera.

Unlike Sheeran's earlier videos, where he assumed a low profile, he took the lead role on "Thinking Out Loud". In the video, Sheeran executes a contemporary dance with Brittany Cherry, a contestant from the televised American dance competition, So You Think You Can Dance. The routine was choreographed by Nappytabs and with training help from Paul Karmiryan. While on concert tour, Sheeran spent five hours a day for three weeks to practice with Cherry.

The video was released on 7 October 2014. After the first 24 hours, the video had over 2.7 million views on video-sharing website, YouTube. As of October 2022, it has 3.5 billion views, making it the 17th most viewed video on the site. The music video received four nominations at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year and Best Male Video.

Live performances
On 26 October 2014, Sheeran performed the song on third live results show of series 11 of The X Factor. He also performed it on 9 November 2014 in the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards. Sheeran also performed the song as a special guest at The Voices live finale on 16 December 2014. Furthermore, Sheeran performed the track on the Christmas Special of The Jonathan Ross Show on 20 December 2014. He also performed the song at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards on 8 February 2015 along with John Mayer, Questlove, Adam Blackstone, and Herbie Hancock. Sheeran performed "Thinking Out Loud" on 13 April 2015 results show of the second series of The X Factor in New Zealand. Sheeran also performed "Thinking Out Loud" at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2014.

Parodies and usage in media
On 28 April 2015 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, actor Jeremy Renner, known for his role as Hawkeye in the Avengers movies, performed on piano and sang a song captioned by Fallon's show on YouTube as "Hawkeye Sings About His Super Powers". While not parodying Sheeran's lyrics, it is sung to the same tune. The lyrics suggest that Hawkeye feels defensive compared with the other Avengers as he was the only mortally human one in a team of superhuman or enhanced heroes: "But listen, I've got powers too; they're pretty sweet. / I promise I can do so much more than just archery ... / I can open a pickle jar. / I'm friggin' Hawkeye. / Maybe I'm as super as they are."

The song and video were also parodied in the CW series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Titled "Let's Have Intercourse", the song was sung by Scott Michael Foster with Rachel Bloom appearing in the scene dancing with Foster in the same manner as Sheeran and Cherry. The lyrics are an appeal by Foster's character, Nathaniel Plimpton III, to series protagonist Rebecca Bunch (Bloom) to have sex whilst trapped in an elevator. The song was featured in the 2016 film Me Before You. It was also covered in the film Bridget Jones's Baby. This song was also used during a 25 December 2017 Christmas NBA Game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors during the 2017–18 NBA season.

Plagiarism allegations

On 10 August 2016, it was announced that the family of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On", was suing Sheeran, alleging that "the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic compositions of 'Thinking' are substantially and/or strikingly similar to the drum composition of 'Let's [Get It On]'." The case was dismissed without prejudice in February 2017. Two years later, on 28 June 2018, Ed Sheeran was again sued on similar grounds, this time for $100 million in damages by Structured Asset Sales, owners of one-third of the copyright to "Let's Get It On". The case was heard by a jury in New York City in 2023, which found in favor of Sheeran.

Sheeran's defence rests on the argument that, while the two songs have similar "building blocks" and a specific chord progression in particular, such features are true for many pop songs. After winning the trial, Sheeran said: "These chords are common building blocks which were used to create music long before 'Let’s Get It On' was written and will be used to create music long after we are all gone."

title: Bommai (1964 film)

text:
Bommai () is a 1964 Indian Tamil-language thriller film, directed by S. Balachander. Featuring a walking-talking doll as the main character, the film had an ensemble cast of newcomers, while S. Balachander, L. Vijayalakshmi and V. S. Raghavan appeared in prominent roles. The film was an adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock's 1936 British film Sabotage. It was released on 25 September 1964.

Plot

In an attempt to kill the hero (Balachander), the villain (V. S. Raghavan), along with his gang place a bomb in a walking doll. Unexpectedly, the doll comes back to the car in which the gang travels, killing all of them.

Production
Balachander, who was known for his critically acclaimed suspense thriller films Andha Naal (1954) and Avana Ivan!? (1962) made Bommai on the same genre. The film was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's 1936 British film Sabotage. Balachander made a few changes in the script to suit the tastes of Tamil audience. A walking-talking doll, which carries the bomb, played the main character in Bommai. To cast the doll, Balachander was in search for a long time and even tried one from the United States. Incidentally, while shopping in Parry's Corner, he found the right doll in a roadside shop and bought it. While Balachander wrote the story and screenplay, his friend Ve. Lakshmanan wrote the dialogues. Rochelle Shah appeared as an actress, this being the only film she ever acted in. Bommai is the first Tamil film in which the director introduces the cast and crew verbally, rather than using film credits.

Music
The soundtrack consisted of six songs, all written by Balachander's associate Ve. Lakshmanan. The music for songs, was composed by Balachander himself, while the background score was composed by D. B. Ramachandran. The philosophical song "Neeyum Bommai Naanum Bommai" marked the playback singing debut of K. J. Yesudas in Tamil cinema. In 2014, when the song was re-used in Moodar Koodam, Yesudas recorded the same for Moodar Koodam, coincidentally marking his completion of 50 years in the Tamil film music industry. The following song list was adapted from a book authored by K. Neelamegam.

Release and reception
Although completed and censored in 1963, the film was released only on 25 September the following year. The Indian Express wrote though "the film fails to grip"; however "A neat, tidy, suspense packet". The reviewer praised the film's cinematography but criticised the background score and editing. On 11 October 1964, Ananda Vikatan wrote, "You will not realise how time flies by watching this film". The film completed 100 days in many theatres in Madras. Its commercial success helped Balachander recover from the loss incurred on his previous film Avana Ivan.

title: Migration Series

text:
The Migration Series, originally titled The Migration of the Negro, is a group of paintings by African-American painter Jacob Lawrence which depicts the migration of African Americans to the northern United States from the South that began in the 1910s.  It was published in 1941 and funded by the WPA.

Lawrence conceived of the series as a single work rather than individual paintings and worked on all of the paintings at the same time, in order to give them a unified feel and to keep the colors uniform between panels.  He wrote sentence-long captions for each of the sixty paintings explaining aspects of the event. Viewed in its entirety, the series creates a narrative in images and words that tells the story of the Great Migration.

Background
Lawrence moved to Harlem when he was thirteen years old, having lived in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His mother was born in Virginia and his father in South Carolina, so he would have been familiar with the migration from his own family members. Lawrence created the sixty paintings in the series in 1940–41 when he was twenty-three years old.  He did so with the help of funding from the Works Progress Administration, one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal agencies.

The series is based on the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural south to the urban north that began in the 1910s. The early part of the migration ran through 1930 and numbered some 1.6 million people.  The panels depict the dire state of black life in the South, with poor wages, economic hardship due to the boll weevil, and a justice system rigged against them.  The North offered better wages and slightly more rights, although was not without its problems; living conditions were much more crowded in the cities, which led to new threats such as tuberculosis outbreaks. The final panel notes that the migration continues. Migrants were still moving north in the 1950s and 1960s.

The series was collected and exhibited in Washington D.C. in 1993 and retitled from "The Migration of the Negro" to "The Migration Series" and almost all of the captions were rewritten.  Notably, negro, a neutral term in 1941, had since fallen out of favor. Most of the new captions were shorter and use either "black" or "African-American".

Technique
The works consist of casein tempera paint applied to hardboard panels, atop a traditional gesso layer of rabbit-skin glue and whiting.  Lawrence made his own casein tempera, purchasing the dry pigments from Fedanzie Sperrle and using them unmixed so that the colors would not vary between panels.  With the panels laid out, he worked systematically to apply one color to each, starting with black and moving on to the lighter colors.

Lawrence was influenced by Mexican muralism of the 1920s–1940s, and The Migration Series is something of an American offshoot of the school.

Ownership
The sixty panels are shared between MoMA in New York and the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, a split that happened in 1942.  Each has thirty panels, except when the collection is on loan (usually together).

title: Rudolf Perhinek

text:
Rudolf Perhinek (pseudonym Rade Perišin; or čiča Rade 23 June 1906 – 5 August 1982) was Yugoslav military officer with the rank of Captain in the Royal Yugoslav Army who, soon after the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia, joined Chetniks of Dragoslav Mihailović. He was a member of the Supreme Command of Mihailović's Chetniks and received the rank of Major. Perhinek, also referred as Mihailović's right hand, organized Chetniks in Montenegro at the end of 1941. In period October 1941 — September 1943 he was a special envoy of Mihailovic's Chetnik staff for Montenegro who was also responsible for the intelligence service in Montenegro and Albania. Some sources describe him as an agent of Gestapo. For some time he was the Chief of Staff of Chetnik forces under command of Vojislav Lukačević. Perhinek was an ethnic Slovene. Yugoslav Government in Exile awarded him with Order of the Star of Karađorđe.

Before the Second World War

Perhinek was born on 23 June 1906 in Vipavski Križ, Austria Hungary (modern day Slovenia). His father Karel was a chief of the station. His mother's name was Karmen. Perhinek completed elementary school in Vipavski Križ and high school in Novo Mesto where his father was transferred during the First World War. He graduated from the Belgrade Military Academy. As military officer he served in infantry military units in different garrisons in Yugoslavia.

Perhinek was a military adviser and one of the closest associates of Dragoslav Mihailović when he was a commander of the 39th Infantry Regiment in Celje, modern day Slovenia. He was sentenced to 30 days of prison by the decision of Army Minister Milan Nedić because "he had intention to mislead the supreme military command to make wrong decisions".

World War II

Beginning of the World War II in Yugoslavia

Perhinek was one of former military officers of the Royal Yugoslav Army who lived in Berane. He was a chief of staff of Kom detachment in Berane  which was to invade Albania in case of Axis invasion of Yugoslavia. When Axis forces began with invasion of Yugoslavia his forces began with invasion of Albania until an order to withdraw prevented further penetration into territory of Albania. In June 1941 Perhinek organized a conference of the former military officers of the Yugoslav Army in Berane, including Cemović and Joksimović. During the Uprising in Montenegro he participated in the capture of Italian-held Berane.

Mihailović's instructions

Based on the instructions of the representatives of civic political parties from Berane received in September 1941, Perhinek and Lieutenant Mirko Kuklić made a successful journey to Mihailović's headquarter on Ravna Gora in the first half of October 1941. They informed Mihailović about the situation in Montenegro. On 15 October, Mihailović gave them instructions for the establishment of the Chetnik command structure in Montenegro.

According to historian Radoje Pajović, Mihailović invited Pavle Đurišić to his headquarter through Perhinek. Perhinek and Kuklić wrote an invitation to Đurišić dated 29 November 1941. Pajović explained that Perhinek and Kukić reached Sandžak village Dragojlovići on 8 December and invited Đurišić to come to this village with help of Milivoje Obradović, a commander of Rasovsko-Bistrički Chetnik detachment. Pajović also explains that, upon Đurišić's arrival to Dragojlovići, he was instructed to go to the Chetnik headquarter of Draža Mihailović which he did about ten days later to receive another set of Mihailović's instructions on 20 December 1941.

During his trial, Mihailović stated that in 1943 Perhinek emphasized that he and Đurišić forged Mihailović′s signature on the "instructions".

In Montenegro

Perhinek, then Captain, was a member of the staff of the Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment. Perhinek was part of the delegation that was sent to Milan Nedić on May 18 1942. to demand more weapons and to convince Germans that Chetnik operations against Yugoslav Partisans in srezes of Bijelo Polje, Mileševa and Pljevlja.

On 15 September 1942 Perhinek attended the conference of the commanders of corps, brigades and districts from the territory under control of the Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment held in Kolašin. For this conference Đurišić prepared an agenda, based on Mihailovićs instructions. In this agenda Đurišić emphasized that "the only law and order and the only policy and government is Chetnik organization". After this conference the Chetnik commanders organized similar conferences with officers subordinated to them and undertook planned measures. In October 1942, "Green" member of collaborationist committee Vojislav Nenadović tried to replace Chetnik president Blažo Đukanović. While he got majority against Đukanović in the committee, Draža Mihailović and Pavle Đurišić convinced Governor of Montenegro Alessandro Pirzio Biroli not to dismiss. Perhinek, as Chetnik High Quarters delegate for Montenegro, took political action against Nenadović to get him dismissed from position in the committee. These actions were unsuccessful.

As an envoy of Chetnik supreme command, Perhinek participated at the so-called Second Youth Conference held on 4 December 1942 in Šahovići, Montenegro. Perhinek presided the conference, together with Pavle Đurišić and Radomir Popović. Perhinek was a man of the greatest confidence of Mihailović and was relatively unknown among the people in the narrow circle around Đurišić.
Based on instructions of Draža Mihailović, Perhinek established the communication with  Balli Kombëtar  and leader of Albanian Catholics of northern Albania. According to Perhinek, Prek Cali was politically opposed to the Muslims from Kosovo and Perhinek openly admitted that he used Cali to inspire conflicts between Catholics and Muslims in northern Albania.

In the middle of May 1943, prior to the formal commencement of Case Black and in its initial phases, around 2,000 men from Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment (LSCD), including Đurišić, were captured by German forces. Perhinek was in charge of reorganisation of LSCD, however despite his enthusiasm for this role, he was rather incompetent. During next couple of weeks the Italians disarmed majority of Chetniks in Montenegro, captured and interned to prison in Italy big number of Chetnik commanders, including many from the staff of LSCD. Initially, Đorđije Lašić gathered scattered groups of Chetniks on the territory that was under Đurišić's control. Lašić and Đurišić were in conflict earlier and Đurišić's former associates did not trust him. With the approval of Perhinek, they recreated Chetnik organisation and new staff of LSCD and proposed Mihailović to appoint Lukačević as their commander. Mihailović accepted this proposal and Vojislav Lukačević succeeded Đurišić as the commander of the remaining men of the detachment and, accompanied by Perhinek, came to Berane on 14 July 1943. Perhinek and Mihailović maintained continuous communication through radiotelegraphy.

When Allies invaded Sicily in July 1943 Mihailović expected Allies to invade Balkans and in preparation for this, reorganized Chetniks in Montenegro. Perhinek kept his position of Mihailović's envoy for Montenegro who is also responsible for the intelligence service in Montenegro and Albania.

Before the capitulation of Italy, Mihailović removed Perhinek from the position of the envoy of the Chetnik staff because he did not resolve personal animosity between Lukačević and Lašić, because Chetnik staff considered Perhinek as inappropriate person for this position and because Perhinek was afraid that Lukačević and Lašić might decide to kill Perhinek. Savo Vukadinović was appointed on the former Perhinek's position.

On 14 September 1943 Lukačević, Colonel Bailey and Perhinek arrived to Berane to disarm Italian Division Venezia. Together with Lašić and Vukadinović they negotiated with the Italian General Oxilia who was willing to join Chetniks and to fight against communists and Germans. Eventually Division Venezia joined Partisans who managed to capture Berane and gain significant advantage toward Chetniks in eastern Montenegro. In order to destroy Division Venezia and adjacent Partisan forces, the German forces started Operation Balkanschlucht and invaded eastern Montenegro. This operation was beneficial for Chetniks who were on the verge of annihilation. Perhinek was responsible to establish communication between invading German forces and Lašić.

Move to Serbia and capture

In November 1943, after the failure of the Operation Balkanschlucht, around 300 Chetniks from Berane and Andrijevica led also by Perhinek retreated from Montenegro to mountains Javor and Golija in Serbia. There they joined Lukačević and his 1,000 Chetniks. Milan Nedić sent to Nova Varoš some of his units to support Chetniks from Sandžak and Montenegro, but they were prevented by the Germans to continue their advance.

On 3 March 1944 Perhinek was arrested by the Germans because in some of documents he signed, Germans and Sandžak Muslim militia were defined as enemies.

After the Second World War

The Germans transported Perhinek to the prison in Germany where he stayed until the end of the war. He had intention to return to Yugoslavia to help Mihailović, but British officers were opposed to it so he moved to Belgium where he was accepted to Belgian Army with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel until 1950 when he moved to USA. In 1951 he moved to Cleveland where he worked as an engineer for 10 years and another 15 years at municipal services. He was very active member of the Sokol movement. Perhinek died on 5 August 1982 in Cleveland and was buried at the Chardon cemetery.

title: Piano Sonata Hob. XVI/49

text:
The Piano Sonata in E-flat major, Hob. XVI/49, L.59, was written in 1789/90 by Joseph Haydn. It marked the beginning of Haydn's late, mature style with frequent use of alternation between staccato (mostly) and legato (often/sometimes). The transitions were much smoother compared to his early and middle works, with larger first and second movements, and a smaller third movement.

History

This sonata was written in 1789/90 for and dedicated to Maria Anna von Genzinger. It was published with the title: "Grande Sonate per il Fortepiano ... Op. 69 ...". The first and the third movement were written in 1789, as clearly written in Haydn's letters. The autograph is dated June 1, 1790, but that only applies to the newly composed Adagio, and perhaps the final revision of the whole.

The autograph indicated the dedicatee as: "per la stimatissima Signora Anna de Jerlischeck", but in the end, Haydn honored Maria Anna von Genzinger with the work. On July 11, Genzinger wrote to Haydn from Vienna that she liked the sonata "very much indeed", but she asked him to simplify for her that B-flat minor middle section in the Adagio where the left hand crosses over to the right. Haydn promised an altered version, but it has never come to light.

Structure

This work has three movements.

title: Dubrovnik chess set

text:
The  Dubrovnik chess set is a style of chess pieces influenced by the Staunton chess set and used to play the game of chess. These chessmen are considered to have significant historical importance and are regarded as a timeless design classic. Over the decades the Dubrovnik chessmen were redesigned several times.

1950 Dubrovnik chess set

The 9th Chess Olympiad was organized by the FIDE and the government of Yugoslavia, supported by Josip Broz Tito. The Olympiad was held in Dubrovnik, SR Croatia, Yugoslavia (now in Croatia) between August 20 and September 11, 1950. Chess is a significant part of the culture in Dubrovnik being first documented in 1422.  The Olympiad had 84 chess players representing 16 nations who played a total of 480 games. The Yugoslav team won the gold medal, Argentina silver and West Germany bronze.

In 1949 the Olympiad management requisitioned a new style of chessmen. Painter and sculptor P. Poček was contracted to design the Olympiad chessmen. The pieces were made in Subozan in Subotica, Yugoslavia.

The 1950 Dubrovnik chess set was designed without religious symbols. The pieces were designed for play with wide bases requiring a minimum of  chessboard squares. They had green felted sliders and were not weighted. The chess box was felted with a metallic badge on the inside of the box with the inscription "IX. šah olimpijada Dubrovnik, Jugoslavija." The box was unusually large, featuring  squares. Approximately 50 chess sets were made with original sets being very rare if not impossible to locate or buy.

In a radio interview Bobby Fischer stated: "This [1950 Dubrovnik chess set] is the best set I have ever played on.  It is marvellous. I don't have it." A chess collector provided a chess set after Fischer requested it for the 1992 Fischer–Spassky rematch held at Sveti Stefan.

Variants
The Dubrovnik design has influenced the creation of several chess set variants with a variety of names, including but not limited to, Zagreb and Yugoslavia. These variant chess sets often have opposite coloured finials on the kings and queens, while the original Dubrovnik had opposite coloured finials for the bishops. In addition, the chess sets use different specifications from the Dubrovnik.

In the 1960s a redesigned version by  Andrija Maurović, a famous Croat cartoonist, writer and chess player was created and produced in the workshop of master craftsman Jakopović in Zagreb. Bobby Fischer was often filmed and photographed with his own 1970 Dubrovnik chess set that was later stolen. The most obvious changes in design can be observed in the knights with simplified carving, and the queens had only five cuts in the crown as opposed to the original eleven.

Modern-day manufacturers
Due to the continuing popularity of the 1950 Dubrovnik chess sets, the replica plastic versions of the chess sets are the most popular in Eastern Europe, even though they are of low quality.

Gregor Novak of Noj. Ltd makes by hand and offers for sale an exact replica from wood of both the 1950 Dubrovnik chess set and the 1970 Dubrovnik chess set.

Chess Bazaar of India also offers two different variants of 1970 Dubrovnik reproduction in a variety of woods.

Since 2014, the House of Staunton has offered a replica in wood of one of the 1970 Dubrovnik chess sets that were available at that time.
