title: St Andrews Golf Club

text:
St Andrews Golf Club, originally known as St Andrews Mechanics Golf Club, is a private members’ golf club located in St Andrews, Scotland. The club is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world, having been established in 1843.

The club does not own its own golf course, instead, members use the seven public golf courses in St Andrews, who are owned by the St Andrews Links Trust, they include; the Balgove, Castle, Eden, Jubilee, New, Strathtyrum and the Old golf courses. The courses are all shared with members of the St Andrews Golf Club, members of the public, and also a number of local golf clubs, including the St Andrews Thistle Golf Club, The New Golf Club, the Old Course (15th century) Golf Club, the St Andrews International Golf Club, Strathtyrum Golf Club, Jubilee Course Golf Club, St Regulus Ladies Golf Club, The St Rule Club, and The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.

Former members of the club have won The Open Championship, including Old Tom Morris and Young Tom Morris who both won the title on four occasions each. In total 11 members have won the title with 20 victories.

History

The St Andrews Golf Club was established by 11 local tradesmen on 29 September 1843 as the St Andrews Mechanics Golf Club. The founding members were: William Ayton (Cabinet maker), John Keddie (Joiner), George Morris (Butler) elder brother of Old Tom Morris, Alexander Bruce (Cabinet maker), John Lynn (Tailor), Robert Patterson (Slater), Alexander Carstairs (Cabinet maker), Adam McPherson (Plasterer), David Todd Junior (Painter), James Herd (Mason), and James McPherson (Dancing Master).

In 1851 it was proposed by the then club captain, James Howie, that the club should change its name to St Andrews Golf Club or similar name. On 22 September 1853, the Fifeshire Journal reported that the Mechanics Golf Club had changed its name to the St Andrews Golf Club. In the second half of the 19th century the St Andrews Golf Club was the strongest golf club in Scotland, with members such as Allan Robertson, he is generally regarded as being the best golfer in Scotland from 1843 until his death. However he never had the chance to play in The Open Championship. When Robertson died, no one knew who the best golfer was, and so a tournament was born to determine the name of the champion golfer of the year.

Other members included Old Tom Morris, who was a long-time member
of the club, Young Tom Morris and many others, who built the club's reputation in challenge matches, the early Open Championships and team games. The following members won 18 Open Championships in the 19th century, and a further 2 in the 20th century: Old Tom Morris (1861, 1862, 1864, 1867), Young Tom Morris (1868, 1969, 1870, 1972), Tom Kidd (1873), Bob Martin (1876, 1885), Jamie Anderson (1877, 1878, 1879), Willie Fernie (1883), Jack Burns (1888), Hugh Kirkaldy (1891), William Auchterlonie (1893), Sandy Herd (1902), and Jock Hutchison (1921). Club members have also won U.S. Open titles too, with James Foulis (1896), Fred Herd (1898) and Laurie Auchterlonie (1902).

Allan Robertson and Old Tom Morris of the St Andrews Golf Club were an intimidating challenging team, occasionally called "the invincibles". Large sums of money for the matches was put up by sponsors, with the players who won also getting a percentage, but they also made their own bets too. Team matches are a tradition within the St Andrews Golf Club. The first match that was arranged was against Leven in 1849 with teams of 6 players on each side.

The clubhouse
Historically golfing societies and clubs would normally meet in either a local hotel or member's house close to the golf course. Official clubhouses became popular in Scotland from the mid-nineteenth century as the game's popularity increased. The St Andrews Golf Club's first purchased a clubhouse in 1905 in nearby Golf Place. In 1932, the club decided to purchase Links House for £2,700. It cost a further £2,000 to convert it to a clubhouse. The new clubhouse was officially opened on 20 July 1933. It was built at the end of the 19th century, and overlooks the 18th green on the Old Course at St Andrews and across from the Royal and Ancient clubhouse. It was listed as a Grade C building on 12 December 2001.
The club has used Links House as their clubhouse since 1933.

Membership
Membership of the club has grown over the years from 11 at its foundation in 1843, to 535 in 1927, 1,013 in 1947 and to over 2,000 members in 1998. The main fee that is required to pay to become a member is $200,000 and after that first fee there is an annual payment of $28,100. This fee seems very expensive but it does not compare to Liberty National Golf Club that has an initial payment of $500,000.

Honorary members
Bobby Jones became an honorary member in 1958.   He was a winner of 13 major golf championships and the only man to have won the Grand Slam, winning the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, the British Open, and the British Amateur Championship all in the same year of 1930.

Jack Nicklaus became an honorary member during the 1978 Open Championship whilst he was still halfway through the event at St Andrews.   He is the winner of 18 major golf championships, including 3 Open titles, 4 U.S. Open titles, 6 Masters titles, and 5 U.S. PGA Championship titles.

Sir Michael Bonallack became an honorary member in 1990 having won the Amateur Championship on fives occasions and
Paul Lawrie became an Honorary member on 6 October 1999 having won the Open Championship in the same year at Carnoustie Golf Links.

Name of the club
During its existence there have been slight differences in the club's name:

 The St Andrews Golf Club (including the prefix "The") - The official website (https://thestandrewsgolfclub.co.uk/) includes "the" in the URL, it also states "All Images © The St Andrews Golf Club", and "This is the website for The St Andrews Golf Club".
 St Andrews Golf Club (excluding the prefix "The") In Companies House it is registered as St Andrews Golf Club Limited (Company number SC629661), and the logo does not use "The" in the design.
 St. Andrew's Golf Club (including an apostrophe "s") - The club published a handbook in 1910 with St. Andrew's Golf Club on the front cover.

title: Bicentenary Celebration match

text:
The Bicentenary Celebration match was a 50-over exhibition cricket match played on 5 July 2014 at Lord's Cricket Ground, London, to mark the 200th anniversary of the ground, which was first used in 1814 and is considered the "home of cricket". The match was contested by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), for whom Lord's is their home ground, and a Rest of the World team. The MCC team won the match by seven wickets, with Aaron Finch being named man of the match for his score of 181*.

A previous 200th anniversary celebration match took place at Lord's in 1987, also between MCC and the Rest of the World, on the occasion of the bicentenary of Marylebone Cricket Club.

Squads

Match

Summary
Rest of the World captain Shane Warne won the toss and elected to bat. Adam Gilchrist and Virender Sehwag gave the ROW a quick start. The MCC's Pakistani bowler Umar Gul suffered a recurrence of a right knee injury, which meant he only bowled two overs before leaving the field. Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal was introduced during the power play and he struck immediately, removing Gilchrist, Kevin Pietersen, Tamim Iqbal and Shahid Afridi. However, this was then followed by a century stand between Yuvraj Singh and Paul Collingwood. Singh eventually scored a century as his late assault took the total to 293. Warne suffered a broken hand from the bowling of Brett Lee. Warne was replaced in the field by South African all-rounder Shaun Pollock. The MCC started well with both Sachin Tendulkar and Aaron Finch batting positively. Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan removed Tendulkar before Collingwood was able to dismiss Brian Lara and Rahul Dravid off consecutive deliveries. Finch along with Shivnarine Chanderpaul then took MCC home with Finch scoring 181 not out.

Details

Controversy
During commentary, former England cricketer Andrew Strauss described Kevin Pietersen as "a cunt" in what he believed to be an off-air conversation. While the comment did not go out on Sky Sports, it was broadcast to overseas viewers. Strauss later said "I apologise unreservedly, particularly to Kevin Pietersen. I am mortified and profusely sorry."

title: Müller AO Classification of fractures

text:
The Müller AO Classification of fractures is a system for classifying bone fractures initially published in 1987 by the AO Foundation as a method of categorizing injuries according to therognosis of the patient's anatomical and functional outcome. "AO" is an initialism for the German "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen", the predecessor of the AO Foundation.

It is one of the few complete fracture classification systems to remain in use today after validation.

Comprehensive classification of the long bones

The English language version of the system allows consistent in detail description of a fracture in defined terminology by creating a 5-element alphanumeric code:

Localisation

First, each fracture is given 2 numbers to describe which bone it affects, and where in the bone:

Type

Each fracture is next given a letter (A, B or C) to describe the joint involvement of the fracture:

The exceptions to this step include:

Groups & Subgroups

Finally, the fracture is given 2 further numbers to denote the fracture pattern and geometry.

For segment 2 (diaphyseal) fractures:

For segment 1 and 3 (epiphyseal and metaphyseal) fractures:

Subgroups are then used to describe the fractures in terms of displacement (versus apposition, which is the degree to which the parts are in contact with each other), rotation, angulation and shortening.

AO pediatric comprehensive classification of long bone fractures

A pediatric version of the long-bone classification was published in 2006 to further classify fractures of immature bone and so the effects on future growth:

OTA/AO Classification unifying extension

The Orthopaedic Trauma Association Committee for Coding and Classification initially published their classification system covering the whole skeleton in 1996.  In 2006 they published a revision, unifying the Muller/AO and OTA systems into a single alphanumeric classification, which has been further updated in 2018:

National Championship
The Pakistan Wrestling Championship organizes the National Wrestling Championship, with its first three editions being held in 1948, 1950, and 1952, respectively, even before the federation's inception. The most recent (65th) edition took place at the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore on 18 and 19 December 2021, with WAPDA retaining its title with seven gold and two silver medals, with Army and Railways finishing second and third, respectively.

Wrestling is also a regular part of the biannual National Games of Pakistan.

Controversies
Pakistani wrestlers miss Asian Wrestling Championships after landing at the wrong airport. The Pakistani wrestlers, including Commonwealth Games Bronze medalist Inayat Ullah, Mohammad Bilal, and Nouman Zaka, along with coach Ghulam Fareed, missed the Asian Wrestling Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan. They landed at the wrong airport, Almaty International Airport, and were deported to Dubai after being denied a visa-on-arrival, which is only issued at Astana. The Pakistan Wrestling Federation (PWF) faced yet another dark day as all four members missed their scheduled matches, despite efforts to help them reach their destination from Dubai.

title: Fuchsia procumbens

text:
Fuchsia procumbens is a prostrate shrub that is endemic to coastal areas of the North Island of New Zealand. Common names include creeping fuchsia, climbing fuchsia or trailing fuchsia.

Description

Vegetative characteristics
Its stems are slender, creeping, and weakly woody. They can climb heights of close to 1 m on small shrubs. The circular, 7-12 mm big leaves, which are attached singly to the stem, have dentate leaf margins, as well as trichomes on the surface.

Generative characteristics
The erect, radially symmetrical flowers with a yellow floral tube do not have any petals. Instead, it has four sepals, which display orange and green coloration. This contrasts with the blue pollen, which is a distinctive character of the Pacific Fuchsia clade. The pollen is producen in eight stamens.

Habitat
Small populations occur in coastal areas of New Zealand's northern island. It grows in sand in proximity to the tide lines.

Ecology

Pollination
Little is known about seed dispersal and pollination in Fuchsia procumbens. However, there have been speculations on pollination and seed dispersal through lizards, as well as reports on seed dispersal through invertebrates.

Phylogeny
It belongs to a South Pacific lineage that diverged from all other Fuchsia species around 30 million years ago. Fuchsia procumbens diverged from the other New Zealand (and Tahitian) species around 18 million years ago.

Cladogram
The following relationships were reported:

Reproduction
Fuchsia procumbens is trioecious (i.e. subdioecious). Hermaphrodite, male, and female plants occur. Both male and female plants have two different types, which differ in the length of the style. Unisexual populations are thought to be able to persevere due to the vegetative reproduction by rooting along the creeping stems.

Taxonomy

Synonym status of Fuchsia kirkii
The species Fuchsia kirkii was described by Joseph Hooker in 1871 based on the male form of Fuchsia procumbens. Thereafter he recognized sexual dimorphism as the source of the perceived differences between the species.

Section Procumbentes
In the year 1995 Fuchsia procumbens was placed in the monotypic section Procumbentes due to significant differences from the remaining Pacific Fuchsia clade.

Etymology
The specific epithet procumbens refers to the sprawling growth habit of the plant.

Cytology
The diploid chromosome count is 2n = 22.

Conservation
It has been categorized as "At risk – naturally uncommon" by the Threatened and uncommon plants of New Zealand list of 2009.

Uses

Fruit
The small, red, crunchy fruit is edible, although rarely eaten. It has been described as slimy and bland.

Horticulture
It is commonly cultivated in gardens.

title: Sins of Rome

text:
Sins of Rome () is a 1953 historical drama film directed by Riccardo Freda and loosely based on the life story of Spartacus. The rights of film's negatives and copies were bought by the producers of Stanley Kubrick's 1960 film Spartacus, as to prevent eventual new releases of the film that could have damaged the commercial outcome of Kubrick’s film; this resulted in Sins of Rome'''s withdrawal from market for about thirty years.

Plot summary
In 74 B.C., Spartacus, a Roman soldier of Thracian origins, is enslaved by Crassus after coming to the rescue of the beautiful slave Amytis. Enlisted into Lentulus's gladiators, he attempts repeatedly to escape. When the gladiators begin a revolt, Spartacus becomes their leader and leaves Rome with them. Wounded by Rufus's soldiers during a patrol, he takes refuge with Crassus's young daughter Sabina, who has fallen in love with him. After recovering, Spartacus returns to his men and leads them in a victorious assault on Rufus's fortified camp. The unexpected defeat alarms the senate; Crassus summons Spartacus and promises freedom for him and his followers. Meanwhile, the rebels, unsettled in the absence of their leader, decide to attack the Roman troops. Spartacus joins them and dies in battle, which turns into carnage for the slaves.

Education
Kyriakides holds a Masters of Arts degree (MA) in "Cultural Policy and Development" with distinction. He has studied “Stringed Keyboard Instrument Technology” in Edinburgh, Scotland, and “Piano Technology” in two different establishments of the USA. He attended the famed C.F.Theodore Steinway School for Concert Technicians in Hamburg, Germany, and holds the prestigious “Steinway Concert Technician” title.

Career

In October 1993, Kyriakides founded the piano firm SVK Pianotech Ltd; a private limited company of which he held 90% of the shares with his father, Vladimiros Kyriakides, being in possession of the remaining 10% until 2011 when Stavros V. Kyriakides became the sole shareholder of the company.

SVK Pianotech Ltd operates exclusively in the piano field offering sales, rentals and technical support for both domestic and/or concert purposes. Under Kyriakides' guidance and management, the company has become one of the major players in the piano industry of the country and represents in Cyprus some of the greatest piano manufacturers in the world. In several occasions production companies and/or artists have refused to go ahead with a concert unless the piano was provided by Kyriakides. Since 2006, the company operates under the trademark Kyriakides Piano Gallery.

Cultural involvement

Kyriakides has always been active in the cultural life of the island. He served as member of the board of directors to numerous non-profitable foundations. Among others, he served as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Cyprus Theatre Organization (ΘΟΚ / Θεατρικός Οργανισμός Κύπρου) and as Secretary-General, member of the Board of Directors, of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra (Συμφωνική Ορχήστρα Κύπρου).

Stavros V. Kyriakides is a never-ending source of inspiration and new ideas. He has organised some of the most successful and avant-garde events in Cyprus, including the "Young Europe Salutes Cyprus" project with the European Union Youth Orchestra under the baton of Vladimir Ashkenazy prior to Cyprus’ accession to the European Union, the "Medieval Cyprus: a Concert for 10 pianos and orchestra" event, the "Natura Madre, Natura Morta" interactive exhibition, the "Pianisti non solo" concert, the "PanCyprian Competition for Young Pianists" which is a biennial institution, the "Play Me, I'm Yours: Nicosia 2014" interactive installation with 10 pianos in the streets of Nicosia, the "Big Piano: Nicosia 2015" interactive installation with giant keyboards (as appeared in the 1989 movie "BIG" starring Tom Hanks) in the streets of Nicosia, and the "Canto Ostinato" project at the Glafcos Clerides Larnaca International Airport with 2 pianos and 2 marimbas.

In 2019 Kyriakides launched "The Piano Tour" concert series, taking talented local musicians and a grand piano out of theatres and into the outdoors, to unconventional urban or natural locations to perform, and streaming it live on Facebook and YouTube so even those who can’t make it can watch. In 2023, Stavros Kyriakides with Kyriakides Piano Gallery and Avantgarde Cultural Foundation broke the Guinness World Records for "most musicians to play the same piano simultaneously", with 25 people at the piano. The event was organised by Kyriakides to help increase music awareness and audience development in Cyprus, on the occasion of Kyriakides Piano Gallery's 30th anniversary (1993-2023).

Kyriakides has displayed rich social and cultural work and donated pianos to schools, foundations and other establishments for the development of music and culture in Cyprus as well as hospitals, schools for people with special needs, rehabilitation centres and more.

title: Opioid modulator

text:
An opioid modulator (or opioid receptor modulator) is a drug which has mixed agonist and antagonist actions at different opioid receptors and thus cannot clearly be described as either an opioid agonist or antagonist. An example of an opioid modulator is buprenorphine, which is a partial agonist of the μ-opioid receptor and an antagonist of the κ-opioid receptor.

title: AB-CHMINACA

text:
AB-CHMINACA is an indazole-based synthetic cannabinoid. It is a potent agonist of the CB1 receptor (Ki = 0.78 nM) and CB2 receptor (Ki = 0.45 nM) and fully substitutes for Δ9-THC in rat discrimination studies, while being 16x more potent. Continuing the trend seen in other cannabinoids of this generation, such as AB-FUBINACA and AB-PINACA, it contains a valine amino acid amide residue as part of its structure, where older cannabinoids contained a naphthyl or adamantane residue.

Side effects
There have been a number of reported cases of seizures, deaths, and psychotic episodes in relation to this synthetic cannabinoid.

Legal status
In 2015, AB-CHMINACA became a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States.

AB-CHMINACA is an Anlage II controlled substance in Germany as of May 2015.

As of October 2015 AB-CHMINACA is a controlled substance in China.

AB-CHMINACA is illegal in Switzerland as of December 2015.

AB-CHMINACA is an illegal substance in Russian Federation.

title: Freddie Hornik

text:
Alfred Charles Walter "Freddie" Hornik (19 January 1944 – 19 February 2009) was a Czech-born British fashion entrepreneur who bought the ailing Chelsea boutique Granny Takes a Trip at 488 Kings Road in 1969, and transformed it into a leading brand in Swinging London.

Early life and education
Hornik was born in Brno, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, on 19 January 1944. As an infant he traveled with his widowed mother and his grandmother to Austria on the refugee "death marches". He lived in poverty in Vienna until 1947, when together they went to live with relatives in south London. Hornik's education at Streatham Grammar School was interrupted when he contracted tuberculosis, necessitating long stays in hospital.

Dandie Fashions
At the instigation of his Polish stepfather, Hornik trained as a tailor and made rapid progress, having "learnt to make a suit in 10 days for eight guineas".

In the mid-1960s, following a chance encounter at the Speakeasy Club with Alan Holston, they got together with John Crittle and the Guinness heir Tara Browne, and launched Dandie Fashions. The Beatles invested in the firm in 1968 and for a short while it became the bespoke menswear supplier Apple Tailoring.

Granny Takes a Trip
In 1969, Hornik took over the legendary boutique Granny Takes a Trip. This purchase was in a partnership with Gene Krell and Marty Breslau, both from New York, and together they expanded the business, adding shops in New York and Los Angeles.

Granny Takes a Trip bespoke creations were taken up by the leading rock stars of the time. In 1972, Lou Reed wore a Granny's suit in black velvet and rhinestones on the cover of his album, Transformer. Also that year, Mick Jagger chose a Granny's tartan velvet jacket on the inside cover of Exile On Main St. from the Rolling Stones, and Todd Rundgren wore Hornik's sequined bolero jacket on the reverse side of the Something/Anything? gatefold sleeve.

In 1973, for the front cover of the Isley Brothers' album 3 + 3, Ronald Isley sported a Hornik jacket. In 1974, for the front cover of his album Caribou, Elton John wore a tiger-stripe jacket which had a Granny's label, allegedly sewn on by Hornik's assistant Roger Klein, who had acquired the item elsewhere secondhand.

However, by the mid-1970s, Hornik, who by now had a "penchant for drugs", Krell and Breslau were feuding with each other, and the business failed, with the London boutique closing in late 1974.

Later life
In his later years, Hornik drove a mini-cab but more ill health forced him to retire to South London. He never married.

title: Margery Gill

text:
Margery Jean Gill (5 April 1925 – 31 October 2008) was a British illustrator of children's books.

Early life
Born in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland, on 5 April 1925, she was brought up in Hatch End, London after her father Oscar moved there to take a job at the Post Office Research Station developing the speaking clock. She left school at 14 and took a place at Harrow School of Art.

Studies
In 1946 she began studying etching and engraving at the Royal College of Art, married actor Patrick Jordan, and illustrated her first book, Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses, for the Oxford University Press.

Artistic career
After a series of commissions for the Oxford University Press, Gill began an association with The Bodley Head, for whom she illustrated over thirty books between 1957 and 1982, including Margaret Kornitzer’s 1960 novel about adoption, Mr Fairweather and his Family, and books by Anita Hewett, Roger Lancelyn Green and others. John Ryder, the publisher's design and art director, said her early work was "interfered with, rather than aided" by her background in etching and engraving, but as her drawings became bolder her work became more in demand, her serious, unsentimental view of childhood suiting the kitchen sink realism prevalent in children's books at the time. She remarked "that is often how children are — taking their own lives seriously".

Eleanor Graham, the founding editor of Puffin Books, also sought her out to illustrate books including a 1961 edition of A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. She worked for numerous other publishers, including Jonathan Cape, for whom she illustrated Susan Cooper's Over Sea, Under Stone in 1965, and Chatto & Windus, for whom she illustrated Cooper's Dawn of Fear in 1972, drawing on her own memories of living in London during the Second World War. Cooper said of her work on Dawn of Fear, "She caught the image of the kids I was writing about perfectly, with no communication. That does huge things for the confidence of a writer." She illustrated A Candle in Her Room for Gollancz in 1966.  She would often travel to capture the landscape and setting of books she illustrated, particularly those by Ruth Arthur and William Mayne, and for this reason a German publisher commissioned her to illustrate a German translation of Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons.

She was admired by fellow illustrator Shirley Hughes, who said "I thought her work was terrific. It made me look to my laurels. It was modern - the children she depicted were less sweet. Margery used solid black line with tremendous fluidity and ease: the way her children stood and moved was very distinctive."

Personal life
She combined freelance work as an illustrator with motherhood - she had two daughters - and a teaching job at Maidstone College of Art. From 1969 she and her husband lived in Alpheton in Suffolk. As the 1970s went on her work fell out of fashion as publishers preferred cartoonier illustrations for children's books, and her output was slowed by arthritis in her hands, and in her later years, cataracts. The last book she illustrated was Anne Thwaite's Pennies for the Dog in 1985. She did voluntary work in her retirement, including charity collections and Meals on Wheels. She died on 31 October 2008, survived by her husband, the older of their two daughters (their younger daughter died in 1996), four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

title: Tela O'Donnell

text:
Tela O'Donnell (born July 16, 1982 in Homer, Alaska) is a retired amateur American freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's lightweight category. She picked up the 2003 U.S. national runner-up trophy in her respective division, and later represented the United States team at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, finishing sixth in the process. Throughout her sporting career, O'Donnell served full-time as a member of Dave Schultz Wrestling Club, and also became a resident athlete for the development program at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Career

Early years
O'Donnell began her sporting career at Homer High School in Alaska, where she lettered in football and volleyball. In her junior season, she officially joined the high school wrestling team under her coach Pat Daigle (Maine state champ) and assistant coach Jesse Caraway went on to set her own record as the second female wrestler to place in the state wrestling tournament. After graduating from high school in 2001, O'Donnell enrolled at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, where she competed on the women's wrestling team for an annual season.

In 2003, O'Donnell was selected to enter the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she had turned her sights to the women's wrestling squad under head coach Terry Steiner. Additionally, she attended classes part-time at the University of Colorado, taking up a bachelor of science degree in psychology.

Freestyle wrestling
O'Donnell blossomed her sporting career with a 121-pound title at the Women's University Championships in St. Joseph, Missouri. She sought her sights to compete for the U.S. world wrestling squad, but missed a chance to grab a spot after her startling defeat from Tina George at the national trials.

O'Donnell entered the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens on her major international debut in the women's 55 kg class. Earlier in the process, she grappled her way to pin and upset her longtime nemesis and two-time World silver medalist Tina George from the Olympic Trials, which guaranteed her a spot on the first ever U.S. women's wrestling squad. In the prelim pool, O'Donnell opened her match by pinning Russia's Olga Smirnova with less than two minutes left, but fell short behind Canada's Tonya Verbeek by a ten-point superiority limit (1–11). Despite missing a spot on the semifinals, O'Donnell seized her opportunity to compete against Puerto Rico's Mabel Fonseca in the classification round, but could not score enough points to grapple her opponent off the mat with a 7–10 decision. O'Donnell initially placed seventh in the final standings, but later upgraded to sixth, as Fonseca was disqualified from the tournament after being tested positive for stanozolol.

title: Bart Philemon

text:
Bartholomew "Bart" Philemon (born 16 April 1945, in a Butibam village near Lae) is a Papua New Guinean politician.

He was educated in a Lutheran missionary primary school in Lae. He received a grant from the Lutheran Church to attend St. Peter's Lutheran College in Brisbane Queensland.  After a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Papua New Guinea, he worked in the aviation industry, holding the position of assistant general manager of Air Niugini (the country's national airline) from 1973 to 1980. From 1982 to 1986, he served as chairman of the National Airlines Commission. He also worked as "a businessman in the poultry and fruit industries". He chaired the South Pacific Festival of Arts in 1980, and the South Pacific Games Foundation for the 1991 South Pacific Games, held in Port Moresby.

He first entered politics in his native Morobe Province, being elected to the Morobe Provincial Assembly from 1984 to 1988. In the 1992 general election, he was elected as MP for Lae to the National Parliament, a seat he was to hold for twenty years. He served in the Shadow Cabinet, until in 1994 Julius Chan ousted Prime Minister Paias Wingti through a motion of no confidence in Parliament. Chan appointed Philemon as his Minister for Public Service. Philemon held his seat in the 1997 election, but was back on the Opposition front benches, the Chan government having been defeated. Two years later Mekere Morauta became Prime Minister, with Philemon as his Minister for Transport & Civil Aviation. In January 2001, Morauta made him Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Minister for Bougainville Affairs, in charge of relations with the Autonomous Bougainville Government following the civil war on Bougainville Island. In May, however, he lost his position in government during a Cabinet reshuffle. He later said Morauta had sacked him for giving unwanted advice. He returned to Cabinet following the 2002 general election, serving as Minister of Finance under Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare. During his term as Minister for Finance, economic growth was restored, earning him "wide respect" for his economic reforms. Nonetheless, he struggled to "control the profligate tendencies of other ministers", and his attempts to do so resulted in him being sacked in 2006.

He founded his own New Generation Party and, alongside Mekere Morauta, became a leading figure of the Opposition. Somare won the 2007 general election, retaining power, and Philemon remained deputy Leader of the Opposition. In August 2011, Peter O'Neill formed a majority in Parliament to take power while Somare was in hospital outside the country. O'Neill appointed Philemon as his Minister for Public Service and Sport.

In the 2012 general election, Bart Philemon lost his seat in Parliament to his niece Loujaya Toni.

title: Victor Skipp

text:
Victor Henry Thomas Skipp (1925 – 24 December 2010) was an English local historian, art collector and amateur philosopher, who left his estate to Kettle's Yard in Cambridge.

Life
Brought up in an "austere Nonconformist family", Victor Skipp "was exposed to a very different life serving with the Marines during WW2, and different again with post-war Cambridge". He graduated from Cambridge University in 1950 before teaching in secondary schools. In the 1960s and 1970s Skipp lectured at Bordesley College of Education, as well as running extramural research in local history at the University of Birmingham.

Collection
Skipp built a collection of Modernist art and literature which he and his wife Pat arranged around their home, an old farmhouse in Hopton, Suffolk. His art collection included work by Ivon Hitchens, Bob Law, Linda Karshan and Alison Turnbull. Skipp took enormous care to consider the possibilities created by arranging disparate works of art in relation to each other:

Upon his death he left his estate to Kettle's Yard in Cambridge. An exhibition of objects from Skipp's collection showed at Kettle's Yard in 2013–14.

title: FIFAe World Cup

text:
The FIFAe World Cup, formerly the FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC) and the FIFA eWorld Cup, is an esports tournament held by FIFA and formerly by its presenting partner EA Sports. Each tournament has players competing in games of the latest incarnation of the FIFA association football video game series. The open qualifying format allows millions to compete in the initial online stages, which has resulted in the FIWC being recognized as the largest online esports game by Guinness World Records.

The most recent champion is Manuel Bachoore from the Netherlands.

History

The inaugural FIWC took place in 2004 in Switzerland, over the years the tournament has grown significantly. In 2010, the FIWC first appeared in the Guinness World Records – but it was not until 2013 that the competition saw the current record of more than 2.5 million players signing up.

On 1 October 2015, the FIWC 16 kicked off, marking the 12th edition of the tournament. For the first time in the history of the competition Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players competed against each other. With the integration of the new consoles the number of participants increased significantly, compared to previous years when the FIWC was only available on PlayStation 3. 2.3 million players attempted to qualify for the Grand Final in New York City. On 22 March 2016, Mohamad Al-Bacha from Denmark won the FIWC title in the Apollo Theater, beating Sean Allen from England in the final match.

In 2018, the FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC) was renamed to the FIFA eWorld Cup (FeWC).  The 2018 Grand Finals was held between 2 August 2018 through 4 August 2018 in the O2 Arena in London, England.  32 finalists (16 on PlayStation 4 and 16 on Xbox One) competed in the group stage and round of 16 on 2 August 2018, with the second leg of the round of 16 and the quarterfinals taking place on 3 August 2018.  The semi-finals and final took place on 4 August 2018.

In October 2020, the FIFA eWorld Cup was rebranded as the FIFAe World Cup as part of FIFA's launch of its FIFAe esports tournament series.

Due to EA and FIFA not renewing their licensing agreement after FIFA 23, the 2023 FIFAe World Cup was the last edition involving EA's football video game series. EA themselves announced a replacement tournament circuit known as EA Sports FC Pro to coincide with the series rebranding to EA Sports FC starting with EAFC 24, with its world championship to be known as the EA Sports FC Pro World Championship.

Results

Format

Online qualification
The FeWC online qualification takes place on PlayStation and Xbox Networks, and can be accessed through the latest version of EA Sports FIFA on Xbox One and PS4. The players qualify via the console playoffs where the top 16 players make it through to the eWorld Cup finals.  Players can also qualify for the FeWC by competing in one of the FIFA Global Series tournaments throughout the season, with the top 16 at the last event automatically qualifying for the FeWC.

In the 2022 edition, games are only played on PlayStation 5 console. 128 players are selected for the FIFA Global Series Playoffs including 74 qualified via Regional Global Series Ranking and 54 qualified via Partner Leagues.

Grand Finals
32 players compete at the Grand Finals of the FeWC. The participants are divided into four groups (two for each console) with the top 16 players moving on to the knockout stage. While Group stage, Round of 16, Quarter-finals and Semi-finals are played on one console (Xbox One or PS4), the Final is a two-leg match with one game on each console. The Grand Final is a multi-day event with draw and competition being broken up into three days. The winner is crowned in a live show at the end of the event.

In the 2022 edition, games are only played on PlayStation 5 console. Before the 2022 edition, matches in Group Stage are two-leg match in a single round robin format; it was changed into single game double round robin from 2022 on.

World ranking
In 2016, the FIFA Interactive World Cup World Ranking was introduced to help seed the players in the tournament according to their previous results. The ranking takes into account both the qualification phase for the current edition and previous FeWC Grand Finals.

Prize fund

The FeWC 2018 champion received $250,000 in prize money and a ticket to the Best FIFA Awards where he has the chance to meet the greatest of the real football world.

title: Rest of the World cricket team in Australia in 1971–72

text:
A Rest of the World cricket team captained by Gary Sobers toured Australia in the 1971–72 season. It replaced the proposed Test tour by South Africa which the Australian Cricket Board cancelled in 1971.

The World XI played 16 matches between early November 1971 and early February 1972. There were five matches against Australia which were regarded as official test matches in Wisden however the status was later withdrawn. The World XI won this series 2-1. The team also played three limited overs internationals against Australia and the remaining games were first-class fixtures against Australian state teams.

World XI would not play in Australia again until World Series Cricket in the late 1970s.

title: Rohingya Solidarity Organisation

text:
The Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO) is a Rohingya insurgent group and political organisation. It was founded in 1982 following a large scale military operation conducted by the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Armed Forces). The group discontinued its armed rebellion in 1998 but rearmed itself following the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état.

History

1990s
In the early 1990s, the military camps of the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO) were located in the Cox's Bazar District in southern Bangladesh. RSO possessed a significant arsenal of light machine-guns, AK-47 assault rifles, RPG-2 rocket launchers, claymore mines and explosives, according to a field report conducted by correspondent Bertil Lintner in 1991.

The military expansion of the RSO resulted in the government of Myanmar launching a massive counter-offensive to expel RSO insurgents along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border. In December 1991, Tatmadaw soldiers crossed the border and accidentally attacked a Bangladeshi military outpost, causing a strain in Bangladeshi-Myanmar relations. By April 1992, more than 250,000 Rohingya civilians had been forced out of northern Rakhine State (Arakan) as a result of the increased military operations in the area.

In April 1994, around 120 RSO insurgents entered Maungdaw Township in Myanmar by crossing the Naf River which marks the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar. On 28 April 1994, nine out of twelve bombs planted in different areas in Maungdaw by RSO insurgents exploded, damaging a fire engine and a few buildings, and seriously wounding four civilians.

On 28 October 1998, the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation merged with the Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front and formed the Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO), operating in-exile in Cox's Bazar. The Rohingya National Army (RNA) was established as its armed wing.

2000s to 2010s
One of the several dozen videotapes obtained by CNN from Al-Qaeda's archives in Afghanistan in August 2002 allegedly showed fighters from Myanmar training in Afghanistan. Other videotapes were marked with "Myanmar" in Arabic, and it was assumed that the footage was shot in Myanmar, though this has never been validated. According to intelligence sources in Asia, Rohingya recruits in the RSO were paid a 30,000 Bangladeshi taka (US$525) enlistment reward, and a salary of 10,000 taka ($175) per month. Families of fighters who were killed in action were offered 100,000 taka ($1,750) in compensation, a promise which lured many young Rohingya men, who were mostly very poor, to travel to Pakistan, where they would train and then perform suicide attacks in Afghanistan.

Regional experts in Rakhine State previously disputed the existence of the RSO as an active militant force after the early 2000s. The government of Myanmar blamed the RSO for attacks on border posts in October 2016 until the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army claimed responsibility.

2021
Following the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état by the Tatmadaw, the RSO announced its rearmament in March 2021.

The RSO opposes the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), whom the RSO blames for attacks against Rohingya community leaders in Bangladeshi refugee camps.

title: Monument of Sivrihisar Airplane

text:
The Monument of Sivrihisar Airplane () is a monument featuring a biplane replica in Sivrihisar district of  Eskişehir Province, Turkey to commemorate the purchase of a military aircraft by the citizens of Sivrihisar, and its donation to the Turkish military during the Turkish War of Independence.

Geography
The replica has been installed to the south of Turkish state highway  at a point, which is close to the junction of two busy state roads to Ankara. Its distance to the town center is about .

History
During the Turkish War of Independence, Sivrihisar was captured by the advancing Greek forces on 12 August 1921. The town later was recaptured on 20 September 1921 during the Battle of Sakarya. During the war, Turkish army had only five warplanes, which were old and not maintained. The military badly needed a new airplane. After the Turkish control was reestablished, the citizens of Sivrihisar decided to buy a new airplane to show their gratitude to the army and after a fund drive they collected TL 4,000. With this money, they bought a  single-engine two-seat biplane bomber aircraft of type Breguet 14 B.2  from Breguet Aviation in France. The plane was named after the place of the donors, "Sivrihisar". This was one of the first up-to-date warplanes of the Turkish Air Force. In Atatürk’s journal of the war, there is a note "a check from Sivrihisar to Osmanlı Bankası to buy a new airplane is entrusted to Eskişehir MP Mehmet Efendi". Also Semyon Aralov, then the Soviet representative in Turkey notes that an airplane donated by the Sivrihisar citizens was flying over Sivrihisar during his visit there on 27 March 1922.

Piloted by Halim Canko, the warplane carried out the roles of reconnaissance, fighter and bomber aircraft.

Commemoration
After the research of the historian Tahsin Özalp in collaboration with Turgut Özakman, it was decided to commemorate the event, and the aircraft replica was produced at the Middle East Technical University. The monument was opened on 22 September 2007.

title: Young Woman Powdering Herself (Seurat)

text:
Young Woman Powdering Herself (French: Jeune femme se poudrant) is an oil on canvas painting executed between 1889–90, by the French painter Georges Seurat. The work, one of the leading examples of pontillism, depicts the artist's mistress Madeleine Knobloch. It is in the collection of the Courtauld Institute of Art and on display in the Gallery at Somerset House. The painting is now back on display at the Courtald.

Seurat kept his relationship with his artist's model Knobloch secret. His relationship to the sitter was concealed when it was exhibited in 1890.

Hidden self-portrait
Since the painting was publicly shown, the wall behind the young woman had displayed a bamboo picture frame showing a vase of flowers. In 2014 using advanced image technology, it was revealed that Seurat had painted himself at his easel, the object on the wall is now believed to be a mirror. After showing the painting to a friend, Seurat painted over the portrait with a table and flowers. Ironically, this concealed portrait is the only known self-portrait made by Seurat.

title: Dandie Fashions

text:
Dandie Fashions or sometimes Dandy Fashions was a London fashion boutique founded in 1966, following a chance encounter at the Speakeasy Club between Freddie Hornik and Alan Holston, who then got together with Australian John Crittle, the Guinness heir Tara Browne and Neil Winterbotham, and launched the new business.

Dandie Fashions opened its shop at 161 King's Road, Chelsea in October 1966. John Crittle had previously worked for Michael Rainey in his boutique Hung On You. Crittle and Tara Browne wanted a retail outlet for their new tailoring company Foster and Tara. In December 1966, Browne died in a car crash, while he was on his way to discuss shop front designs with the graphic artist David Vaughan. Crittle bought his share of the business. In this boutique Amanda Lear was arrested in 1967 by the police with drugs belonging to The Rolling Stones.

Five months after opening their Apple Boutique in Baker Street (which ran from 7 December 1967 to 30 July 1968), the Beatles invested in Dandie, renaming it Apple Tailoring (Civil & Theatric). They were attracted to King's Road by the presence of the clothing boutiques Dandie, along with Granny Takes a Trip and Hung On You. Apple Tailoring opened at the same 161 King's Road premises as Dandie, on 23 May 1968. Neil Aspinall and Apple's accountant Stephen Maltz became directors. John Lennon and George Harrison attended the launch party. However, it never made a profit and closed some months later.

title: Buprenorphine/samidorphan

text:
Buprenorphine/samidorphan (developmental code name ALKS-5461) is a combination formulation of buprenorphine and samidorphan which is under development as an add on to antidepressants in treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

ALKS-5461 failed to meet its primary efficacy endpoints in two trials from 2016. On the basis of a third study that did meet its primary endpoints, Alkermes initiated a rolling New Drug Application with the FDA.

In November 2018, an FDA panel voted against recommending approval, finding that evidence was insufficient. As such, approval of the medication was rejected in 2019. It is a κ-opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist and is being developed by Alkermes.

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics
ALKS-5461 is a (1:1 ratio) combination of: (1) buprenorphine, a weak partial agonist of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR), antagonist/very weak partial agonist of the κ-opioid receptor (KOR), and, to a lesser extent, antagonist of the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) and weak partial agonist of the nociceptin receptor (NOP); and (2) samidorphan, a preferential antagonist of the MOR (but also, to a slightly lesser extent, weak partial agonist of the KOR and DOR). The combination of these two drugs putatively results in what is functionally a blockade of KORs with negligible activation of MORs.

κ-Opioid receptor antagonism
It has been known since the 1980s that buprenorphine binds to at high affinity and antagonizes the KOR.

Through activation of the KOR, dynorphins, opioid peptides that are the endogenous ligands of the KOR and that can, in many regards, be figuratively thought of as functional inverses of the morphine-like, euphoric and stress-inhibiting endorphins, induce dysphoria and stress-like responses in both animals and humans, as well as psychotomimetic effects in humans, and are thought to be essential for the mediation of the dysphoric aspects of stress. In addition, dynorphins are believed to be critically involved in producing the changes in neuroplasticity evoked by chronic stress that lead to the development of depressive and anxiety disorders, increased drug-seeking behavior, and dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In support of this, in knockout mice lacking the genes encoding the KOR and/or prodynorphin (the endogenous precursor of the dynorphins), many of the usual effects of exposure to chronic stress are completely absent, such as increased immobility in the forced swimming test (a widely employed assay of depressive-like behavior) and increased conditioned place preference for cocaine (a measure of the rewarding properties and addictive susceptibility to cocaine). Accordingly, KOR antagonists show robust efficacy in animal models of depression, anxiety, anhedonia, drug addiction, and other stress-related behavioral and physiological abnormalities.

A mouse study found that knockout of the MOR or DOR or selective pharmacological ablation of the NOP did not affect the antidepressant-like effects of buprenorphine, whereas knockout of the KOR abolished the antidepressant-like effects of the drug, supporting the notion that the antidepressant-like effects of buprenorphine are indeed mediated by modulation of the KOR by the drug (and not of the MOR, DOR, or NOP). However, a subsequent study found that the MOR may play an important role in the antidepressant-like effects of buprenorphine in animals.

Buprenorphine is not a silent antagonist of the KOR but rather a weak partial agonist. In vitro, it has shown some activation of the KOR at concentrations of ≥ 100 nM, with an Emax of 22% at 30 μM; no plateau in maximal response (EC50) was observed at concentrations up to 30 μM. Samidorphan similarly shows activation of the KOR in vitro, but to an even greater extent, with an EC50 of 3.3 nM and an Emax of 36%. As such, ALKS-5461 may possess both antagonistic and agonistic potential at the KOR. Because antagonism of the KOR seems to be responsible for the antidepressant effects of ALKS-5461, this property could in theory limit the effectiveness of ALKS-5461 in the treatment of depression.

History
ALKS-5461 was granted Fast Track Designation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment-resistant depression in October 2013. During June and July 2014, three phase III clinical trials were initiated in the United States for treatment-resistant depression.  Alkermes reported that the first two trials failed in 2016.  In August 2017, based on the third trial, Alkermes announced the initiation of a rolling submission of a New Drug Application for ALKS-5461 to the FDA. On 31 January 2018, Alkermes submitted a New Drug Application for ALKS-5461 to the FDA for the adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder. The submission was accepted by the FDA on 9 April 2018 after initially serving a refuse-to-file letter due to insufficient evidence of overall effectiveness.

In November 2018, an FDA advisory committee voted 21–2 against recommending approval of ALKS-5461 for MDD, setting the medication up for likely rejection. The main reason cited was insufficient evidence of effectiveness. The panel voted in favor of adequate safety having been demonstrated.

title: Xixiang Chi

text:
Xixiang Chi (), also known as Tianhua Chanyuan (), is one of the most important Buddhist temples and monasteries on Mount Emei in Emeishan City, Sichuan, China.

The temple is located more than 2,000 metres above sea level. The monastery was founded in the Ming dynasty and was expanded during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor in the Qing dynasty. The name of the temple comes from a legend which says that the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra once bathed his steed, a white elephant, in a pond near the temple. "Night Moon over the Elephant washing pond" ("Night Moon over the Elephant Washing Pool") is one of the ten sceneries of Mount Emei. When the moon is shining brightly at night and is reflected in the water, it creates an illusion where the viewer feels like they are in Heaven.

Important buildings in the temple are the Maitreya Hall, Main Hall, Guanyin Hall, "Tripitaka Pavilion" (library) and guest cottage.

The Temple is also an UNESCO Heritage Site.

Monument
The temple stands since 2006 on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China (1-133). The temple is also on the list of monuments of Sichuan Province.
