title: The Empty Cradle

text:
The Empty Cradle: How Falling Birthrates Threaten World Prosperity (And What To Do About It) is a 2004 book by Phillip Longman of the New America Foundation about declining birthrates around the world, the challenges that Longman believes will accompany it, and strategies to overcome those challenges.

Reception

Media appearances and interviews

Longman appeared in a National Public Radio program Talk of the Nation debating Peter Kostmayer about the thesis of his book.

Reviews

Richard N. Cooper reviewed the book briefly for Foreign Affairs, writing that Longman's concern about falling birthrates is at odds with many people's concerns about overpopulation, and also noting that Longman believed that specific government policies were responsible for the lower birthrates.

Spengler reviewed the book for Asia Times, concluding "The reader must fall back on his argument that faith, not pecuniary calculation, will motivate today's prospective parents. The reproductive power of an increasingly Christian United States will enhance the strategic position of the US over the next two generations, leaving infertile Western Europe to sink slowly into insignificance."

Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, reviewed the book on his personal website. He concluded: "His research is certain to spark fierce debate and spirited discussion. In the final analysis, doesn’t it make sense that those who see children as gifts from God would have more children than those who see children as economic cost units? How could anyone be surprised?"

Bill Muehlenberg reviewed the book on his own blog.

title: Image theatre

text:
Image theatre is a performance technique in which one person, acting as a sculptor, moulds one or more people acting as statues, using only touch and resisting the use of words or mirror-image modelling. The images presented in this form of theatre are a series of still-images or tableauxs that are dynamised (brought to life) via a variety of ways. They could have repetitive sounds and mechanical-like movements designed into them for example, or they could be dynamised by transitioning from one image to the other in a before-during-after style format. The images can be directly clear to the viewer or abstract. The sculptor can also be a statue, and thus mould themselves, or the statues themselves can be invited to sculpt their own ideas and perspectives into the image.

Image theatre originated as a form of theatrical protest in the Theatre of the Oppressed created by Augusto Boal in the 1960s. The form increased in popularity within performance studies and broadened in use to become an exercise or game for students of performance learning how to see what they are looking at, in a format that is not constricted to learning lines, didactic explanations or one person's directorial ambitions. Actors do not use words or signs (i.e. nodding) but must instead use their hands to create an image out of another actor's body to communicate an idea, an event, or an emotion.

title: USS Smith-Briggs

text:
USS Smith Briggs was a Union Army gunboat destroyed during the American Civil War.

Background
The Smith Briggs was originally a Hudson River tugboat built in East Albany, New York, for Samuel Schuyler and the Schuyler Steam Towing Company, and named after an agent for the Hudson River Railroad Company. The ship was laid down in January 1862, and launched on May 3, 1862, at a cost of $20,000, and made her maiden trial voyage on September 27, 1862. The side-wheel steamer was powered with a Maginnis-built 36-inch cylinder with a 9-foot stroke with 30 pounds steam and a speed of 30 RPMs. It was 135 feet long and had a draft of 4 feet.

The private ship was leased by the U.S. government for $200 a day and converted into a gunboat at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, in Portsmouth, Virginia, in March 1863. It was outfitted with armor plating and two guns: a 32-pound Parrott rifle and a 42-pound banded rifle gun.

Service history
In the spring of 1863, the Smith Briggs participated in the Siege of Suffolk, and on June 5, 1863, it participated in a combined expedition with the gunboats , , and the transport Winnissimet as they ascended the Mattaponi River to attack Confederate ordnance works at the town of Walkerton.

On June 23, 1863, the Smith Briggs and other gunboats – including Commodore Morris, , Jesup, , and  – formed an escort flotilla to provide support for a week-long mission to land a Union force at White House plantation along the Pamunkey River in Virginia.

It also patrolled the York, Rappahannock, Nansemond, and James Rivers in addition to Chuckatuck Creek in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

Battle of Smithfield

Smith Briggs was a key ship in the Battle of Smithfield in 1864. During the engagement with Confederate troops, members of the 99th New York Infantry were waiting for the ship to arrive down the Pagan River to pick them up. Upon reaching the troops who were under fire, the gunboat was hit in its exposed boiler causing it to run aground. As a result, the Union soldiers were taken as prisoners.

By 3 p.m. on February 1, 1864, the battle was over. Confederate soldiers and civilians climbed aboard the ship to look for souvenirs and provisions such as coffee and tea. The golden eagle figurehead was also removed from atop the boat's pilot house. Once the looting was complete, soldiers set it on fire. When the flames reached the two tons of black powder on board, the ship was blown to pieces.

What was left of the wreck remained in the Pagan River until it was salvaged by the company Maltby & Brown a few years later. The owner of the ship was paid $45,000 in restitution by the government after it was destroyed.

title: Remember Me (Sage the Gemini album)

text:
Remember Me is the debut studio album by American rapper Sage the Gemini. It was released on March 25, 2014, by HBK Gang Records, EMPIRE Recordings and Republic Records. The album was produced by Gemini himself, The Exclusives, League of Starz, Tha Bizness and members of The Invasion such Jay Ant, Kuya Beats and P-Lo. The album features guest appearances from Iamsu!, Justin Bieber, Kool John, Jay Ant, P-Lo, Eric Bellinger, Berner and August Alsina, among others.

The album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its production and Sage's vocals, but criticized its lyrical content. Remember Me debuted at number 47 on the US Billboard 200, selling 7,200 copies in its first-week. It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States. The album was supported by five singles: "Red Nose", "Gas Pedal" featuring Iamsu!, "College Drop" featuring Kool John, "Down On Your Luck" featuring August Alsina, and "Don't You".

Reception

Critical reception

Remember Me garnered positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 69, which indicates "generally favorable reviews," based on 10 reviews.

Martin Caballero of USA Today said that "Gas Pedal" only hinted at what his debut album will showcase, which is "buoyed by energetic and richly textured beats, he deftly mixes slick raps with Auto-Tuned vocals on singles like 'Desert of Mirages'." AllMusic's David Jeffries praised the album for containing tracks that exude the same energy that "Gas Pedal" did, calling it a very good party album and praising Sage for being "a great host, juggling familiar and fun with ease." Pitchfork contributor Craig Jenkins praised Sage's production and vocal delivery for bringing a lot charm into the tracks, concluding that: "Remember Me keeps its mood light and its stakes low, and in the process delivers a much needed breezy counterpoint to all the knotty, fatalistic shit coming out of HBK's downstate peers that’s every bit as true to Cali as the gangsters and the thinkers."

Patrick Taylor of RapReviews commended Sage for his production choices that "favor[s] ambient elements over dance elements" and establishing himself as a credible rapper with tracks like "Second Hand Smoke" and "Go Somewhere" that flesh out his character persona but felt he had a limited range of topics and resorted to more conventional hip-hop tropes that feel off with the record's spacious vibes. He concluding that: "It's frustrating that so many of the songs stick to the same clichéd themes because Sage can actually rap. He's got a low-key charm, spitting his rhymes effortlessly […] Remember Me "isn't a perfect album, but it has some great songs and a lot of promise. Sage the Gemini has established himself as an artist worth remembering. HipHopDX writer Ronald Grant gave credit to both Sage and P-Lo for their consistent beat work throughout the track listing, highlighting both "Down On Your Luck" and "Mad at Me" for incorporating R&B sounds that give off a "more melodic, delicate quality", but was critical of the album overall feeling "indistinguishable" with its lyrical subject matter and production lacking "diversity, imagination and risk-taking" alongside similar rap radio content concluding with, "But what Sage The Gemini lacks in lyricism and engaging subject matter, he makes up for in magnetism and harmonic finesse. Remember Mes faults definitely hold it back, but it’s still largely likeable and satisfying when it comes to simply being festive West Coast party Hip Hop."

Jordan Sowunmi from NOW noted how Sage's musicianship wasn't versatile and adopted the same production more suited for "short-burst Vine videos", but said there's an addictiveness to his "spare aesthetic" concluding that: "Overall, the record is buoyed by relentless exuberance and good-natured charm." While finding the album filled with club tracks and lyricism that range from simplistic to odd, Jameel Raeburn of XXL found the production ear-grabbing and danceable, concluding that, "There's no question that Remember Me is best served with the volume turned all the way up." Rolling Stone writer Christopher R. Weingarten was mixed about the album, giving credit to most of the tracks for being attention-grabbing but found it monotonous in its lyrical range. Erin Lowers of Exclaim! also praised Sage's production and voice for being distinct but criticized his lack of deeper lyrical content and songs for not leaving a lasting impact, saying that he "presses the gas pedal too quickly before capturing your attention lyrically or sonically."

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number 47 on the Billboard 200, selling 7,200 copies during its first-week in the United States. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in the US on March 26, 2021.

After listening to some new music, Fredro offered the producers: "Let's just do an album".

On November 6, 2013, in an interview with XXL, it was announced that Onyx is currently working on a new album, titled Wake The F*** Up, which will be entirely produced by German hip-hop production group Snowgoons. The album #WakeDaFucUp has become widespread in social networks due to the "hashtag" used in the title of the album

Sonny Seeza
To the disappointment of many Onyx fans, the third member of the group, Sonny Seeza, does not appear on the album. Fredro explained this situation in an interview with HipHopDX:"...Sonsee is not on this album. Sonsee don't rock with us no more, but we never broke up. I still speak to Sonsee, and it ain't no beef. He just don't rock with us, and we can't wait for nobody. If Sonsee ain't gonna rock with us, we gotta go get a nigga like Papoose to do a verse. Somebody like Snak the Ripper will fill in that third spot, and that's the reason why we did some features."

Fredro comments on the situation with Sonsee in an interview on "White Label Radio":"...Sonsee wasn't on the album cause we recorded it in LA, and we're ain't over Internet shit... So we just did it without him and we just got a couple of features to filling the third verse we needed."

In an interview with Arena, Fredro says that Sonny Seeza himself decided to leave the group:"...Sonsee is family, forever. But when the train takes off, if you're not on the train... you've got to keep the brand moving. We've got one of the best logos in hip-hop, millions of fans out there, and Sonsee doesn't want to get with us in the studio, then he's got to do what he's got to do."

Conception of album title
"#WakeDaFucUp" is Onyx's first album in the last 10 years. For these 10 years, hip hop changed. This album with its sound should bring back hip hop fans to the original New York sound of the 90's. "Wake the fuck up!" is the call of the group in regards to how Onyx feel about Hip Hop. Fredro Starr explains what happened to hip-hop over the past 10 years:"...When Nas said, 'Hip Hop is Dead', it wasn't dead. I just think the sound has changed over the last 10 years, so it's hard for any New York rapper with a New York sound to be progressive, do what they want to do successfully and make money. That's why you had every New York rapper trying to rhyme on Down South beats. To this day, you got [New York] rappers trying to rhyme on trap beats, because they want a deal to pay their bills. That's what sells. So you lose the integrity of New York Hip Hop. I just think the fashion in Hip Hop and the way it's being portrayed is definitely colorful. We're about to bring it back to the dark side. That's the Hip Hop we know about-that street shit."

Sticky briefly explains: "Nas said hip-hop is dead, hip-hop is not dead, it's just been sleeping, and it's time for hip-hop to wake the fuck up".

World Tour
In February 2014, in support of a new album, Fredro and Sticky went on a world tour and visited 30 countries. Also were printed exclusive t-shirts and hoodies with album logo "WakeDaFucUp".

Singles
The first single "Wakedafucup" featuring Dope D.O.D. was released on February 11, 2014. Rose Lilah of HotNewHipHop gave the single an HOTTTTT rating, while users gave the single an VERY HOTTTTT rating, saying "2014 is the year of Onyx's return".

The second single "We Don't Fucking Care" featuring A$AP Ferg & Sean Price was released on February 21, 2014. Philip Cheek of HotNewHipHop gave the single an VERY HOTTTTT rating, saying "It sounds great, and A$AP Ferg especially delivers with a verse showcasing a talent we wish we saw more of on Trap Lord".
In a February 2014, interview with HipHopDX, Onyx spoke about collaborating with ASAP Ferg on "We Don't Fuckin Care":
"...It's crazy how we connected with him. His DJ is my man, Hectic. And Hectic has been down with Onyx since I did my Firestarr album. I did my album in his bathroom, and we was rockin'. He rocks with them, and said that A$AP Ferg was doing a mixtape called Trap Lord. He wanted us to jump on the mixtape, and then the mixtape turned out to be an album. So in return—just out of respect—it was like, "Hey we'll jump on a joint, and then you can jump on ["We Don't Fucking Care"] on our album." So it was just a mutual respect."

The third single "The Tunnel" featuring Cormega & Papoose was released on March 6, 2014. Onyx pay homage to the venerable venue. In the 90's, NYC's club "The Tunnel" was a premier destination for listening to Hip-Hop.

The fourth single "Whut Whut" was released on March 13, 2014. Onyx slams the alley-oop down with angry rapping about disfiguring your face and what will follow if you don't recognize. The brooding new song finds Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr trading aggro bars over ominous keys and stormy atmosphere.

Instrumental for the song "TurnDaFucUp" was later released on the album Snowgoons "Goonstrumentals Vol. 1" (July 11, 2014)

Videos
Snowgoons's DJ Sixkay made visual videos for all tracks from this album. Also Onyx released 11 official music videos from this album: "#WakeDaFucUp", "Whut Whut", "Hammers On Deck (Scarface version)", "Buc Bac", "TurnDaFucUp", "TurnDaFucUp (On Shade 45 With DJ Kay Slay)", "The Realest", "#WakeDaFucUp Reloaded", "Boom!!", "Hammers On Deck (Myster DL version)" and "Hustlin' Hours".

Critical response

#WakeDaFucUp was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Homer Johnsen of HipHopDX gave the album three and a half stars out of five, saying "Overall Wakedafucup is multi-faceted. It has street records ("Whut Whut"), Horrorcore verses and inclinations ("Wakedafucup"), first person narratives ("Hustlin Hour"), storytelling ("Trust No Bitch") and conscious Rap ("One 4 Da Team"). There is a lot going on, but it's stays digestible as a whole, and never loses sight of itself. It's also a welcome album during a time in which comparable street records are few and far between. Veterans like U-God of the Wu-Tang Clan and Diddy have said Hip Hop is getting too soft, so to see Onyx drop a record that's truer to its roots than most similar Rap music these days is both welcome and refreshing."

Kellan Miller of XXL gave the album an XL rating, saying "With Wakedafucup, Onyx have followed in the footsteps of what made the recent studio releases of their New York contemporaries Nas and Jay successful: having fun. It just so happens that Onyx's brand of fun has nothing to do with popping Molly or even rocking Tom Ford, but rather rocking the eardrums with psychotic intensity. Saving the best for last, the album concludes with "Turndafucup," a record that could just as easily been dubbed "Slam Part 2" because it is just that good. If you've been sleeping on Onyx the last decade or so, it's clearly time to wakedafucup."

Grant Jones of RapReviews gave the album an eight out of ten, saying "This is brutal listening, yet never boring and that is testament to both Onyx's energetic displays and Snowgoons willingness to provide understated production where necessary, rather than simply providing bangers on every song. Given how well this has been received by the fans, it's likely a sequel may be in order, but the only way this could be outdone is by gathering Onyx and M.O.P. together for a collaborative project - produced exclusively by Snowgoons. Now that really would make people wake the fuck up!"

Awards
 #WakeDaFucUp was named by XXL as one of the best hip-hop albums of 2014 in "THE 25 BEST HIP-HOP ALBUMS OF 2014" (June 30, 2014).
 #WakeDaFucUp was described by UndergroundHipHop.com as the best-selling CD album of 2014 in "Top 100 Hip Hop Albums For 2014 - CDs" (December 11, 2014).

title: Charles Carrington (historian)

text:
Charles Edmund Carrington, MC (21 April 1897 – 21 June 1990) was a scholar, Professor of History at Cambridge University, Educational Secretary to Cambridge University Press and a historian specializing in the British Empire and Commonwealth, a Professor of Commonwealth Relations at the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the author of a number of books academic, learned and biographical. He was a decorated volunteer British Army officer, in World War I and again in World War II.

Personal life
Carrington was born in West Bromwich, then part of Staffordshire, England. He moved to New Zealand with his family where his father C. W. Carrington became Dean of Christchurch. His son married 1. Cecil Grace MacGregor 1932 (dissolved in 1954) 2. Maysie Cuthbert Robertson 1955.

He is remembered on the Imperial War Museums' We remember Charles Edward Carrington site.

Education
He was educated at Christ's College, New Zealand and Christ Church, Oxford (BA 1921; MA 1929).

First World War

When the First World War broke out in August 1914 Carrington was in England preparing for university entrance examinations and enlisted in the British Army's Royal Warwickshire Regiment, although he was under age. In February 1915 an uncle obtained for him a commission as a second lieutenant into the 9th (Service) Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment, a Kitchener's Army unit, part of the 70th Brigade of the 23rd Division, where his job was to train his platoon. In August 1915 he was deemed too young to join the battalion in France.

Carrington desperately wanted to fight after spending more than a year training in England. He managed to obtain a transfer to the 1/5th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment, a Territorial Force battalion assigned to the 143rd (1/1st Warwickshire) Brigade of the 48th (South Midland) Division, and sailed to France in December. He spent six months in the trenches in a relatively quiet sector of the Western Front at Gommecourt before being transferred to the Battle of the Somme in July 1916.

He was promoted to Captain 1917. He was awarded the Military Cross.

He can be heard recounting some of his First World War experiences in Peter Jackson's film They Shall Not Grow Old. He also features in the BBC film clip, ″The voices behind They Shall Not Grow Old″

Career

After being demobilised in 1919, he finished his education at Christ Church, Oxford, studying history. He became assistant master of the public school, Haileybury (1921–24 and 1926–29). Lecturer at Pembroke College, Oxford (1924–25). From 1929-1954 he was Educational Secretary to the Cambridge University Press.

He rejoined the British Army in the Second World War, serving as a liaison officer with the Royal Air Force and as Lt. Col. General Staff (1941–45).

Carrington left Cambridge in 1954 to become Professor of Commonwealth Relations at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (the RIIA - Chatham House), a post he held until 1962. During that time he was also the Chatham House organiser responsible for the Commonwealth Relations conferences in New Zealand in 1959 and in Nigeria in 1962

He also sat on the London County Council Education Committee; the Classical Association Council; the Publishers' Association Educational Group; The Royal Commonwealth Society Council; The Inter-University Council; The Overseas Migration Board; and the Islington Society, and was Chairman of Shoreditch Housing Association.

Books on his wartime experiences

From his experiences in the First World War he wrote the first book of his memoirs of his time as an officer on the Western Front which in 1929 was published as A Subaltern's War under the pseudonym Charles Edmonds. He had written it ten years previously. In 1964 he recounted his experiences of the Great War to the BBC in a series of interviews for their project The Great War. These were broadcast in 2014 and again in 2016 as part of the commemorations for the centenary of the war.

In A Subaltern's War Carrington sought to counter the widespread view that there was no other type of men who served in the war than "Prussian militarists" and "disillusioned pessimists": "No corrupt sergeant majors stole my rations or accepted my bribes. No incompetent colonels failed to give me food or lodging. No casual staff officers ordered me to certain death, indifferent to my fate".

He wrote of his Second World War experiences in Soldier at Bomber Command, published in 1987.

In 1965 he provided a wider picture of both the First World War and his role in it in Soldier from the Wars Returning. Carrington argued that Britain's involvement in the First World War was just and that there was no alternative to persevering until victory was won. Britain had reason to be proud of the Army's achievement. He wrote positively of the effect of Army training on recruits

When the 1960s saw a more critical attitude of the War, expressed in Alan Clark's book The Donkeys and Joan Littlewood's play Oh, What a Lovely War!, Carrington praised the historian John Terraine's defence of Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) on the Western Front, and the record of the British Army.

Rudyard Kipling Biography

When in 1955 Macmillan published Carrington's biography of Rudyard Kipling, Graham Greene praised it as "A very good biography - we are not left, as we so often are when we have closed an official life, with the thought "here is a quarry where other men in the future may dig more profitably". Mr Carrington has dug with effect. The quarry is closed". Peter Quennell claimed the book was "sound, scholarly, yet never for a moment dull".

title: Jim's Steaks

text:
Jim's Steaks is a Philadelphia restaurant specializing in cheesesteaks, founded in 1939 on North 62nd Street in West Philadelphia. Jim's Steaks currently has two locations, the original in West Philadelphia and another in Springfield, Pennsylvania. Jim's Steaks owned the restaurant on South Street until 2011.

History

In the 1930s, "Jim and Millie" Pierlingi offered sandwiches from their house in West Philadelphia. In 1939, they converted the house into what became Jim's Steaks. In 1966, William Proetto and his brother, Tom, purchased the restaurant. In 1976, Proetto and Abner Silver opened a second location on South Street. In 1996, a third location was opened in Northeast Philadelphia, but was shut down in July 2017 due to health code violations. A fourth location was opened in 1999 in Springfield, Pennsylvania.

In 2011, Silver took sole ownership the South Street location after Proetto's death. The name of Jim's Steaks on South Street was later changed to Jim's South Street. Jim's Steaks currently operates two locations. The location in Springfield is open while the original West Philadelphia location is temporarily closed for renovations.

Description
Philadelphia magazine's food blog Foobooz listed the Springfield location as one of the "31 Cheesesteaks to Eat Before You Die", describing the restaurant as "black-and-white tile, polished stainless, beef steaming on the grill".

title: A Dotted Line

text:
A Dotted Line is the fourth major album release and sixth studio album overall by progressive acoustic trio Nickel Creek. Produced by Eric Valentine, the album was released on Nonesuch Records on April 1, 2014, in the United States.

A Dotted Line is the first Nickel Creek album since the band's hiatus following their 2007 Farewell (For Now) Tour. The release coincided with the trio's 25th anniversary. A subsequent tour was also scheduled to begin in April.

Tracks include initial singles "Destination" and "Love of Mine," as well as two covers: Sam Phillips' "Where Is Love Now" and Mother Mother's "Hayloft."

Critical reception

A Dotted Line garnered critical acclaim. At Metacritic, they assign a "weighted average" rating to albums based upon the reviews by selected independent publications, and the album's score is an 82 out of 100, which means the album received "universal acclaim". At Allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, stating that even "If there isn't much spark, there is a surplus of warmth; the trio is comfortable and relaxed, and it's hard not to succumb to such friendly, familiar vibes." Brian Mansfield of USA Today rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of four stars, writing how on the release the trio "stretch pop parameters with imaginative arrangements." At The Oakland Press, Gary Graff rated the album three-and-a-half out of four stars, saying that the release is "a welcome return from a hiatus well-spent." About.com's Kim Ruehl rated the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, stating that on the release the trio did "no harm in exploring" musical territory as they seek to "push the evolution of music by starting with tradition and taking it somewhere some folks may say it has no business going."

At Paste, Holly Gleason rated the album 8.2 out of 10, writing that the release is "Not merely a product of maturity, Nickel Creek has grown without losing its palpable joy or wondrous ability to make musicianship as accessible as the engaging way their voices draw listeners to them." Brice Ezell rated the album eight out of 10 discs, stating that the release "is a work of supreme songcraft; one might call it a 'return to form', but from the sound of it, the form was never gone in the first place." At The A.V. Club, Genevieve Koski graded the album a B+, saying how the release is "a ready-made best-of album, superb in execution but light on surprises". Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe gave a positive review of the album, remarking how the release "is a vibrant reminder of Nickel Creek's youthful promise and proof that it has plenty left to say." At Relix, Kiran Herbert gave a positive review, observing that "there's not a song on the album that falls short."

title: Yuxi–Mohan railway

text:
The Yuxi–Mohan railway or Yumo railway (), is the Chinese section of the Lao–China Railway (LCR) in Yunnan Province of southwest China. The line runs  from Yuxi in central Yunnan to Mohan, a town in Mengla County on the border with Laos in the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of southern Yunnan.  The Yumo railway is designed to "provide efficient, safe, low-carbon, affordable, railway transport" within Yunnan Province.

Branching from the existing Kunming–Yuxi–Hekou railway at Yuxi and connecting directly to the Boten–Vientiane railway on the Laotian side, the Yumo railway is a part of the Kunming–Singapore railway and will eventually carry traffic across the Greater Mekong Subregion.

Early stage construction began on September 1, 2015.  The project is estimated to cost ¥46.46 billion.  The railway is electrified, and has double-track from Yuxi to Jinghong and single-track from Jinghong to Mohan. Cities and towns along route include Yuxi, Pu'er, Jinghong and Mohan.

The railway opened on December 3, 2021.

History
After China and 17 other Asian countries signed the Trans-Asian Railway Network Agreement in June 2006, the Yuxi–Mohan railway was proposed as a component of the Kunming–Singapore railway Central Route, which would connect Kunming, Vientiane, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

In September 2010, state media in Yunnan reported that the Ministry of Railways had held a planning conference for the Yuxi–Mohan railway in August and that construction of the double track electrified line,  in length and capable of accommodating trains traveling at speeds of up to , would begin by the end of 2010.  The line was reported to cost ¥53.9 billion and take five years to build.  Overland travel time from Kunming to Jinghong would be reduced from 9 hours to 2.5 hours.

On December 30, 2010, Chinese state media reported that early preparatory work for the Yumo railway had been completed, but the final construction plan had not been publicized.  Construction began on a railway logistics center in Mohan.  The railway project was delayed, however, after the removal of railway Minister Liu Zhijun for corruption in February 2011 and the subsequent reorganization of the Railway Ministry into the China Railway Corporation in March 2013.

A preliminary feasibility conference for the project was organized in Beijing on November 30, 2013 by the China Railway Corporation at which railway planners and Yunnan officials expressed their desire to see the project proceed quickly.

Construction
Construction on two early-stage segments began on September 1, 2015 with the full-scale construction on the line on 19 April 2016. According to Xinhua News Agency in Yuxi, the line is scheduled to be 507.4 km long, costing 51,609 million yuan, reach maximum speeds of 160 km/h, taking 6 years to complete construction. It is scheduled to open in December 2021.

Running times are scheduled to be 1.5 hours from Kunming to Eshan, to be within 3 hours from Kunming to Pu'er, to be about 3 hours from Kunming to Jinghong, and 5 hours from Kunming to Mohan.

The construction is divided into 22 segments. The 6820-meter Yueyatian Tunnel (月牙田隧道) is done on 30 December 2019.

Stations
There are 13 stations, including:

 Yuxi (玉溪站)
  (研和站)
  (峨山站)
  (罗里站)
  (元江站)
  (墨江站)
  (宁洱站)
  (普洱站)
  (勐养站)
  (西双版纳站) at Jinghong City - End of electrified double track section
  (橄榄坝站)
  (勐腊站)
  (磨憨站)

Five more stations will be included later, including:
  (飞龙)
  (梭罗河)
 Mengyuan (勐远)
  (曼勒)
  (普文)

title: Joseph Kalite

text:
Joseph Kalite (died 24 January 2014) was a Central African politician and doctor. As a government minister he either held the housing or health portfolio. Kalite, a Muslim, was reported to be killed by anti-balaka outside the Central Mosque in the capital Bangui during the Central African Republic conflict. He was killed with machetes on the day in Bangui after interim president Catherine Samba-Panza took power. At the time of the attack Kalite held no government position, nor did he under the Séléka rule. He was reported to have supported the rule of Séléka leader Michel Djotodia.

Career

Angel-Félix Patassé Presidency
In 1999, Patassé appointed Kalite as a minister of Agriculture and Livestock. He held this ministerial position until 2001. Subsequently, Patassé designated Kalite as a minister of Health Public Health and Population from 2001-2003.

During his two-year tenure as a public health minister, UN began a triple HIV/AIDS therapy program on 4 September 2002 and he laid the construction HIV/AIDS treatment and research center in Bangui in 2003.  Moreover, Japan gave aid of US $4,163,079 to Central Africa Republic for the health sector.

François Bozizé Presidency
During the early year of the Bozize government, he was placed under house arrest on 26 July 2004. However, Bozize released him and appointed Kalite as his economic advisor on 7 July 2005. Later on, Kalite joined Kwa Na Kwa. In 2011, he was elected as a member of Assemblée nationale, representing Birao's second district.

Bozize appointed Kalite as minister of housing and accommodation in 2011, replacing Herbert Gotran Djono Ahaba. As a housing minister, he initiated the creation of the Central African Housing Bank agency to improve housing in the Central African Republic.  On 28 December 2012, he was arrested on the accusation of aiding Seleka rebel groups.

Death
On 24 January 2014, the suspected Anti-Balaka militia asked Kalite to get out of the taxi. They attacked Kalite with machetes and sticks and he succumbed to death.  Nevertheless, Anti-Balaka denied the involvement in Kalite's assassination.

Personal life
He belongs to the Goula tribe and is a Muslim.

title: Early pregnancy bleeding

text:
Early pregnancy bleeding (also called first trimester bleeding) refers to vaginal bleeding before 14 weeks of gestational age. If the bleeding is significant, hemorrhagic shock may occur. Concern for shock is increased in those who have loss of consciousness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or shoulder pain.

Common causes of early pregnancy bleeding include ectopic pregnancy, threatened miscarriage, and pregnancy loss. Most miscarriages occur before 12 weeks gestation age. Other causes include implantation bleeding, gestational trophoblastic disease, polyps, and cervical cancer. Tests to determine the underlying cause usually include a speculum examination, ultrasound, and hCG.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause. If tissue is seen at the cervical opening it should be removed. For those in whom the pregnancy is intrauterine and who have fetal heart sounds, watchful waiting is generally appropriate. Anti-D immune globulin is usually recommended in those who are Rh-negative. Occasionally, surgery is required.

About 30% of women have bleeding in the first trimester (0 to 14 weeks gestational age). Bleeding in the second trimester (12 to 24 weeks gestational age) is less common. About 15% of those who realize they are pregnant have a miscarriage. Ectopic pregnancy occurs in under 2% of pregnancies.

Differential diagnosis
The differential diagnosis depends on whether the bleeding occurs in the first trimester or in the second or third trimesters.

Obstetric causes of first trimester bleeding include the following:

Early pregnancy loss is a term often used interchangeably with spontaneous abortion and miscarriage and refers to pregnancy loss during the first trimester. It is the most common cause of early pregnancy bleeding and is associated only with heavy (versus light) bleeding. However, patients typically remain hemodynamically stable.
Threatened early pregnancy loss, often considered a type of early pregnancy loss, refers vaginal bleeding in the presence of an intrauterine pregnancy and a closed cervix. The presence of fetal heart rate largely determines whether the pregnancy will progress to a viable outcome.
Ectopic pregnancy refers to a pregnancy outside the uterus, commonly in the fallopian tube. It is a less common but more serious cause of early pregnancy bleeding. Ectopic pregnancies can rupture, leading to internal bleeding that can be fatal if untreated.
Implantation bleeding involves a small amount of bleeding that may occur 10 to 14 days after implantation of the fertilized egg. However, there is little evidence to support the existence of such bleeding.
Chorionic hematoma is the pooling of blood (hematoma) between the chorion, a membrane surrounding the embryo, and the uterine wall. It occurs in about 3.1% of all pregnancies and is the most common cause of first trimester bleeding.
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, which refers to pregnancy-related tumors that be either cancerous or non-cancerous. This cause is extremely rare with non-cancerous gestational trophoblastic neoplasia found in 23 to 1,299 cases per 100,000 pregnancies and cancerous forms with a 10-fold lower incidence.

Obstetric causes of second/third trimester bleeding include the following:

Bloody show refers to the passage of a small amount of blood or blood-tinged mucus resulting from labor or cervical weakness.
Pregnancy loss refers to death of the fetus at any time during pregnancy. Pregnancy loss most commonly occurs during the first trimester, when it is referred to as early pregnancy loss.
Placenta praevia or vasa praevia refers to the placenta or fetal blood vessels, respectively, covering or being located close to the opening of the uterus. More than half of women affected by placenta praevia (51.6)% have bleeding before delivery. Vasa praevia occurs in about 0.6 per 1000 pregnancies.
Placental abruption involves the separation of the placental lining from the uterus of the mother. It occurs most commonly around 25 weeks of pregnancy.
Uterine rupture is when the muscular wall of the uterus tears during childbirth or, less commonly, during pregnancy.
Nontubal ectopic pregnancy refers to an ectopic pregnancy that occurs in the ovary, cervix, or intra-abdominal cavity.

Other causes of early pregnancy bleeding include the following:

Postcoital bleeding, which is vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse that can be normal with pregnancy.
 Iatrogenic causes, or bleeding due to medical treatment or intervention, such as sex steroids, anticoagulants, or intrauterine contraceptive devices.
Vaginal or cervical bleeding, which may arise from many causes including fibroids, polyps, warts, tumors, vaginitis, or trauma. Importantly, these causes may co-occur with other causes of early pregnancy bleeding.
Lower genitourinary tract bleeding, which may result from a urinary tract infection (UTI), strenuous exercise, or bladder cancer.

Pathophysiology
Early pregnancy bleeding is usually from a maternal source rather than a fetal one. The maternal source may be a disruption in the vessels of the decidua or a lesion in the cervix or vagina. In the earlier stages of pregnancy, the cervix can be vulnerable to bleeding as new blood vessels are being grown. Vasa praevia is a rare condition that can result in bleeding from the fetoplacental circulation. Vasa praevia happens most often when the umbilical cord grows in a way that it directly enters the membrane, and therefore blood vessels that are unprotected by the umbilical cord or placental tissue can rupture and lead to bleeding. Another common source of bleeding can be due to abnormal development of the embryo. The most common early fetal abnormality is abnormal number of chromosomes causing loss of the pregnancy and bleeding.

Diagnostic approach
The initial assessment of vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy must first consider hemodynamic stability and the degree of pain or bleeding.  A hemodynamically unstable individual would necessitate an immediate transfer to the emergency department. It is important to recognize that women may suffer significant blood loss before any signs of hemodynamic instability are evident.

The initial evaluation of early pregnancy bleeding involves a history and physical examination. The relevant history includes determining the gestational age of fetus and characterizing the bleeding. Bleeding that is at least as heavy as menstrual bleeding or associated with clots, tissue, lightheadedness, or pelvic discomfort is associated with increased risks of ectopic pregnancy and spontaneous abortion. Discomfort in the middle of the abdomen is more closely associated with spontaneous abortion; discomfort on a side of the abdomen is more closely associated with ectopic pregnancy. Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy or spontaneous abortion should also be considered.

The physical examination includes assessing vital signs and performing an abdominal and pelvic examination. Signs of hemodynamic instability or peritonitis require emergent intervention. A pelvic examination may reveal non-obstetric causes of bleeding such as bleeding from the vagina or cervix. It may also show visible products of conception suggestive of an incomplete abortion.

If the person is stable and a pelvic exam is unrevealing, transvaginal ultrasonography and/or serial measurement of hCG is generally recommended to assess fetal location and viability. Reviewed data from observational studies determined that ultrasound examination and hCG concentration could replace pelvic examination in the initial evaluation of early pregnancy bleeding. Transvaginal ultrasound is frequently used in the evaluation of bleeding in early pregnancy.

Before 10 weeks gestation, a slower than normal increase in hCG suggests early pregnancy loss or ectopic pregnancy. By approximately 10 weeks, hCG plateaus and ultrasound is preferred to determine the location of the pregnancy (i.e., intrauterine or ectopic). In the presence of prior pelvic imaging, fetal heart tracing with Doppler sonography is sufficient to assess fetal viability beginning at 10–12 weeks of gestation. Bleeding associated with an intrauterine, viable pregnancy suggests threatened early pregnancy loss. Bleeding associated with an intrauterine, nonviable pregnancy suggests early pregnancy loss. If the viability of an intrauterine pregnancy is uncertain, repeat ultrasonography coupled with laboratory measurement of progesterone and/or serial hCG can be helpful. The absence of either intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy on imaging is suggestive of a complete early pregnancy loss (if the pregnancy was previously seen on imaging) or a pregnancy of unknown location (if the pregnancy was not previously seen on imaging).

Management
The management of early pregnancy bleeding depends on its severity and cause.

Women with significant first-trimester bleeding (more than spotting) should have a red blood cell antibody screen. Women who are Rh-negative are usually given anti-D immune globulin to prevent RhD isoimmunization. Those with significant blood loss who become hemodynamically unstable require rapid intervention.

Early pregnancy loss can be treated with watchful waiting, medication, or uterine aspiration based on shared decision-making between the mother and provider. For those with incomplete abortion, watchful waiting is the recommended method as more than 90% of these individuals will complete the process spontaneously within four week. Women who decide on expectant management may experience more days of bleeding and longer completion time as compared to surgical management. Serious complications of watchful waiting are rare. Effective medical management entails 200 mg of oral mifepristone (Mifeprex) followed 24 hours later by 800 mcg of vaginally administered misoprostol. Bed rest and progesterone therapy have not been shown to increase the likelihood of a viable outcome.

Ectopic pregnancy is treated with methotrexate therapy or surgery. Typically, an intramuscular injection of 50 mg per m^2 of methotrexate is given followed by close monitoring of b-hCG levels 4 and 7 days after injection. B-hCG levels should decrease by at least 15% between those two timepoints. Surgery is required for individuals who have failed or have contraindications to methotrexate therapy, are experiencing significant blood loss, or have signs of ectopic rupture.

Epidemiology
First trimester bleeding is more common than second or third trimester bleeding. First trimester bleeding may be associated with complications in later pregnancy, including placental abruption, smaller estimated fetal weight, stillbirth, and perinatal death.

title: Johann Baptist Pflug

text:
Johann Baptist Pflug (13 February 1785, Biberach an der Riss - 30 May 1866, Biberach an der Riß) was a German genre painter.

Life
At the age of twelve, after attending the local elementary school, he became a choirboy at the local monastery where he continued his education and received his first drawing lessons. When the monastery closed, the fathers recommended that he become a church painter. Johann Franz Schefold (1750-1828), a lawyer whose father was a church painter, acted as a sort of patron to Pflug, allowing him access to his library and gallery. In 1806, he went to the Academy of Fine Arts Munich where he studied under Johann Christian von Mannlich, whose instruction consisted largely of having him make copies of the Dutch Masters. At the outbreak of the Tyrolean Rebellion, he returned to Biberach where he passed an art examination and became a teacher at the newly created Biberach Gymnasium, a post he held until 1856.

Beginning in 1813, his painting focused largely on genre scenes and costume pictures of soldiers or robbers. From 1825 to 1830, he published a series of colored engravings entitled "Rural doings in Württemberg" (Ländliche Gebräuche in Württemberg), which established his popularity throughout Germany. As a teacher, he discovered and promoted many young artists who would come to be called "The Biberach School". These included Eberhard Emminger and Anton Braith.

Taken together with his Memoirs (published in 1874), his works offer an almost complete representation of daily life in Nineteenth-century Germany and have great historical value, beyond their artistic merits.

title: Marthasterias

text:
Marthasterias is a genus of starfish in the family Asteriidae. Both species in the genus are commonly known as the spiny starfish.

Species
As of October 2023 the accepted species are:
 Marthasterias africana (Müller & Troschel, 1842) is known from the waters of South Africa.
 Marthasterias glacialis (Linnaeus, 1758) is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

Description

Marthasterias glacialis is a fairly large starfish with a small central disc and five slender, tapering arms. Each arm has three longitudinal rows of conical, whitish spines, usually with purple tips, each surrounded by a wreath of pedicellariae. The background colour is variable and may be brownish or greenish-grey, tinged with yellow or red and sometimes with purple at the tips of the arms. This species can grow to  but a more usual size is . It is sometimes confused with the northern starfish Leptasterias muelleri.

Distribution and habitat
Marthasterias glacialis is native to the Eastern Atlantic Ocean (from Iceland and Macaronesia in the North Atlantic, while M. capensis is known from Angola and South Africa in the South Atlantic), and the Baltic and Mediterranean seas. Around the British Isles it is limited to the western side of Scotland, Wales, the western part of southern England and most of Ireland. Its depth range is subtidal down to about  and it is found on both sheltered muddy substrates and on rocks.

Ecology

Like other starfish in the family Asteriidae, Marthasterias glacialis is a predator and feeds mostly on bivalve molluscs and other invertebrates. It has been found that secondary metabolites known as saponins, found within the starfish's tissues, have a dramatic effect on the whelk Buccinum undatum. At low concentrations they cause the mollusc to withdraw from the vicinity of the starfish and at higher concentrations they cause convulsions in the mollusc's musculature. The sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and Psammechinus miliaris are also affected by the chemicals. S. droebachiensis flees but P. miliaris has toxic pedicellariae and is able to defend itself.

The reproductive biology of this starfish has been little studied but off the coast of Ireland, individuals gather together in very shallow water in July and August. A few days later, on a warm afternoon, they have been observed to arch their bodies and release spawn into the sea. A rise in the water temperature seems to have triggered the spawning. Male starfish as small as  were observed to spawn, and females of at least  diameter.

The company was formerly known as Mack-Cali Realty Corporation.

Investments
Notable investments owned by the company include:
 Harborside, on the Hudson Waterfront in Jersey City, is a multi-building mixed-use development. In October 2016, the company unveiled plans to build Harborside 4, a 1.2 million-square-foot office tower, in a joint venture with SJP Properties.
 Marbella Apartments is the 17th tallest building in Jersey City. When it was completed in 2003, it was the tallest residential building in New Jersey. It is now ranked 26th on the list of tallest buildings in Jersey City.
 Jersey City Urby broke ground on January 15, 2014 with joint venture partner Ironstate Development Company to consist of 3 towers of 69 stories each containing 763 apartments, or 2,359 apartments in total. The first tower, Urby Harborside 1, was topped off in September 2015.

History
The company was founded in 1949 as Cali Associates by John J. Cali, Angelo R. Cali, and Edward Leshowitz.

In the 1950s, Cali Associates was a developer of single family homes in northern New Jersey.

In 1969, the company completed construction of its first office building, 14 Commerce Drive, in Cranford Business Park, Cranford, New Jersey.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Cali Associates capitalized on increasing population and commerce in New Jersey by building 2.2 million square feet of class A office space.

In August 1994, Cali Associates became a public company through an initial public offering of stock, and it changed its name to Cali Realty Corporation, under a  management headed by Brant Cali, John R. Cali, and Thomas A. Rizk.

In 1997, Cali Realty acquired the Robert Martin Company for $211 million in cash and 1,401,225 operating-partnership units, then valued at $44 million, and the assumption of $185 million of debt. The transaction added 65 properties and 4.1 million square feet to its portfolio, mostly in Westchester County, New York, and Connecticut. In 2019, Robert Martin re-acquired most of the portfolio from Mack-Cali for $487.5 million.

In December 1997, Cali Realty Corporation completed a $1.2 billion merger with Patriot American Office Group and the Mack Company (founded by H. Bert Mack and operated by his four sons: Earle I. Mack, William L. Mack, Fredric H. Mack, and David S. Mack). The company changed its named to Mack-Cali Realty Corporation. At the time, this merger was the largest real estate investment trust transaction.

Mitchell E. Hersh became a member of the board of directors in 1997. He became the chief executive officer (CEO) in 1999. In 2004, he became president of the company in addition to its CEO.

In 1998, the company acquired $450 million worth of office properties, which boosted its holdings by 12%. It also bought properties in Washington D.C. and Maryland and properties in the Southwest.

In 2006, the company acquired the Gale Company, a private real estate firm headquartered in New Jersey that owned 2.8 million-square-foot of office buildings.

In 2012, the company acquired Roseland Partners, a property developer in New Jersey, for $134.6 million. It was developing the $120 million RiverTrace waterfront tower at Port Imperial, which was completed in October 2013.

In 2013, the company sold 19 Skyline Drive for $17.5 million.

In November 2014, Roseland opened Portside at East Pier in East Boston. The second phase, which includes 550 luxury residences and 70,000 square feet of retail space, opened in 2018.

In 2015, Mitchell E. Rudin became CEO and Michael J. DeMarco became the company's president and chief operating officer. The same year, the company moved its headquarters to Jersey City.

title: Stand by Me (Charles Albert Tindley song)

text:
"Stand by Me" should not be confused with "Stand by Me Father", by Sam Cooke and J. W. Alexander.

Though sometimes known as "Stand by Me Father", "Stand by Me" is a 1905 gospel song by the Rev. Charles Albert Tindley. Although often thought to be a "traditional spiritual", Tindley copyrighted the song in 1905. The song of the same name by Ben E. King draws on Tindley's song. The song has been sung in Tindley's original gospel form by various artists including Bob Dylan.

Lyrics
When the storms of life are raging, stand by me.
When the storms of life are raging, stand by me.
When the world is tossing me, like a ship upon the sea,
thou who rulest wind and water, stand by me.

In the midst of tribulation, stand by me.
In the midst of tribulation, stand by me.
When the hosts of hell assail, and my strength begins to fail,
thou who never lost a battle, stand by me.

In the midst of faults and failures, stand by me.
In the midst of faults and failures, stand by me.
When I do the best I can, and my friends misunderstand,
thou who knowest all about me, stand by me.

In the midst of persecution, stand by me.
In the midst of persecution, stand by me.
When my foes in battle array, undertake to stop my way,
thou who saved Paul and Silas, stand by me.

When I'm growing old and feeble, stand by me.
When I'm growing old and feeble, stand by me.
When my life becomes a burden, and I'm nearing chilly Jordan,
O thou Lily of the Valley, stand by me.

Recordings

The song has been recorded by artists including:

 1928: Pace Jubilee Singers (10" 78rpm single Victor 21551)
 1937: Norfolk Jubilee Singers (Decca Records)
 1941: Sister Rosetta Tharpe (Decca).  However, the lyrics do not match the hymn so it is a totally different song.

title: Sickingen Heights

text:
The Sickingen Heights () form a landscape in the western part of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The region was named after the family of imperial knight, Franz von Sickingen (1481–1523), because most of the area belonged to the territory of the House of Sickingen in the Middle Ages.

Geography

Location
The Sickingen Heights form the northern part of the Westrich Plateau; about a third of the area within the county of Kaiserslautern and two-thirds in the county of Südwestpfalz. It extends from Sickingen's town of Landstuhl in the north almost to the town of Zweibrücken in the south and from the border between Rhineland-Palatinate and the Saarland in the west to the  Palatinate Forest in the east.

Geology
The Sickingen Heights belong to the major region known as the Palatine-Saarland Muschelkalk Region (Pfälzisch-Saarländisches Muschelkalkgebiet). The hilly plateau, which lies at heights from 300 to  descends very steeply in the north in several, densely wooded, escarpments to the Landstuhl Marsh. Numerous small and medium-sized rock formations from the bunter sandstone of the Karlstal beds outcrop along the escarpment, for example the Heidenfelsen near Hauptstuhl, the eponymous rocks near Bärenloch in Kindsbach or the rock landscape in the Fleischackerloch near Landstuhl. Somewhat less rugged in appearance is the plateau's westward transition to the Saarland and even less than that in the east, where the valley of the Moosalb forms the boundary. In the south the Sickingen Heights transition almost seamlessly into the Zweibrücken Hills.

Rivers and streams
Much of the Sickingen Heights is drained southwards by the Moosalb, Wallhalb and Auerbach into the Schwarzbach and then via the Blies, Saar and Moselle into the Rhine. The Lambsbach flows westwards directly into the Blies.

Sights and culture
 In the old schoolhouse at Queidersbach, built in 1836, is the Sickingen Heights Museum (Museum Sickinger Höhe). Opened in 1976 and covering an area of 500 m2, the museum offers an overview of history of the region from early times until the recent past.
 In 1869, the Krähenberg Meteorite fell in the eponymous parish. At the site of the impact there is a commemorative stone with an information board about the event, Since 2009 the Meteorite Trail (Winterbach–Krähenberg–Kleinbundenbach–Großbundenbach–Zweibrücken) has been established as a themed walk.
 In Herschberg every two years, the Wallhaben collective municipality hosts the Sickingen Dialect Poetry Competition (Sickinger Mundartdichter-Wettstreit).

Settlement and transportation
The land is sparsely settled and the only large towns occur on the lower-lying perimeter of the plateau. There are no pan-regional transport routes, except for a mostly two-lane section of the A 62 motorway Landstuhl–Pirmasens.

Due to its remoteness, the region is well suited for hiking e.g. along the Mill Trail in the Wallhalb Valley. Over the Sickingen Heights runs the waymarked North Route of the Palatine sections of the historic Way of St. James.

Dal Negro is an Italian company that produces playing cards, tarot cards, divination cards, chess, backgammon, roulette wheels, and toys for children.

The company has its registered office, from 2002, in Carbonera in the Treviso area.

Its origins date back to 1756, as a factory of playing cards, owned by an Austrian situated in the city of Treviso. It was purchased in 1928 by Dal Negro family. For decades it had several locations in the town of Treviso, before arriving in the new location. In 2003, it bought rival Masenghini but has kept the brands separate. The following year, it acquired Milan-based NTP, which produces plastic playing cards.

In recent years the company has increased the production of Tarot decks, which also include a deck made by the Nobel Prize for Literature, Dario Fo.

In 2009 the company expanded its business by starting the production of wooden games for children, also obtaining the exclusive right to import Lego-compatible bricks produced by the Polish company Cobi, and importing Engino games from Cyprus. Equipped with solar panels, high-tech gears and levers.
