title: Huzar v Jet2.com

text:
was a landmark case, taken to the Court of Appeal in May 2014, which created binding case law for all future flight delay compensation claims in England and Wales.

Facts
The case specifically related to a Jet2.com flight, number 810, which was scheduled to depart at 18:25 on 26 October 2011 from Malaga to Manchester. The flight was subject to a 27-hour delay.

On the inbound flight to Malaga the aircraft's left engine fuel advisory light became illuminated, indicating a possible defect in the fuel shut-off valve. On landing, Jet2.com arranged for a spare valve to be fitted but the problem remained. It was not possible for the problem to be resolved before the airport shut for the evening. The following day engineers discovered a wiring defect in the fuel valve circuit which required repairing. As a result Jet2.com sent a specialist engineer and spare wiring from its hangar at Leeds Bradford airport. In the meantime Jet2.com decided to bring another aircraft from Glasgow to take passengers from Malaga to Manchester.

Mr Huzar acted as litigant in person, issuing proceedings for compensation on behalf of himself, his wife and their granddaughter of €400 each, under European Union (EU) Regulation 261/2004. Mr Huzar had initially referred his complaint to AESA, the Spanish National Enforcement Body, which ruled that his flight was claimable; however Jet2.com still refused compensation.

History of the case
On 20 December 2012 Mr Huzar commenced proceedings himself via the County Court Bulk Centre. Jet2.com instructed a firm of solicitors to act on its behalf and filed a defence citing extraordinary circumstances, specifically a left engine fuel valve problem which came to light during the previous flight. After troubleshooting it became apparent this was a wiring defect.

On 10 June 2013 the matter was listed for a small claims hearing at Stockport County Court before Deputy District Judge Dignan. Mr Huzar acted as a litigant in person with Jet2.com represented by commercial law barristers.

As part of his judgment Deputy Dignan commented :"I accept it could be argued that a fault with the engine wiring is not an event which is not inherent in the normal exercise of the air carrier's activities because the engine is part and parcel of the aeroplane, but the crux is, it goes on to say, "and are beyond its actual control".

"A gloss has been put on that by the case presented by Miss McCrea (sic) in her skeleton argument, Wallentin-Hermann v Alitalia, and clearly that case has provided a basis for being able to argue that if there is a defect which could not have been revealed during ordinary flight maintenance and of itself is so exceptional that it could not have been detected in advance through maintenance and examination, and I am prepared to find that that sort of fault is beyond the control of the carrier, and therefore the exception to the regulations does apply in this case."

Deputy Dignan found in favour for Jet2.com and dismissed the claim. Mr Huzar then approached a firm of solicitors in the immediate aftermath of the hearing, which agreed to appeal on his behalf.

On 27 June 2013 the appeal was filed at court on the grounds there had been a mistake as to the Application of the Law and undue prejudice to the claimant. The application relied on the case of Friederike Wallentin-Hermann v Alitalia-Linee Aeree Italiane SpA. Mr Huzar argued that this was a two part test – that Jet2.com must show the defect was not inherent and that the defect was beyond its actual control. If one part of the test failed, compensation must be awarded.

On 14 August 2013, permission to appeal was granted and the matter was listed for hearing before Judge Platts at Manchester County Court on 8 October 2013, with a time estimate of one day. This time both sides were represented by barristers.

Jet2.com argued that in effect the test in Wallentin is actually one test, and that the court can effectively ask 'was the event beyond the control of the air carrier?'.

The Defendant also argued that events found outside of maintenance were extraordinary and that these events were unforeseen, unexpected and unpredictable. Mr Huzar argued that a technical problem as this, caused by wear and tear, is an event which is inherent in the normal running of an airline and whether it is unexpected is inutile. Furthermore, he argued the wear and tear affecting the aircraft is firmly within the air carrier's actual control. In the absence of any external cause the technical problem must not be extraordinary.

In paragraphs 27 and 28 of his judgment Judge Platts found:

"Against that background I am persuaded that in this case the cause of delay or cancellation was the need to resolve the technical problem which had been identified. That being the case, in my judgment it does not matter how the technical problem was identified. Whether it was identified by routine maintenance (as was the case in Wallentin) or as a result of a warning light during flight (as in the present case) seems to me to be irrelevant. Equally and for that very reason the fact that it was unexpected and unforeseeable is also irrelevant. The reality is that once a technical problem is identified it is inherent in the normal activity of the air carrier to have to resolve that technical problem. Further, the resolution of the problem, as was demonstrated in this case, is entirely within the control of the carrier."On such an analysis the delay caused by the resolution of an unexpected, unforeseen and unforeseeable technical problem cannot be said to be an extraordinary circumstance given the Wallentin test. Air carriers have to encounter and deal with such circumstances as part of running an airline just as the owner of a car has to encounter and deal with unexpected and unforeseen breakdowns of his car."The appeal was successful and judgment was entered for Mr Huzar.

Jet2.com applied for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal on 11 November 2013. The application was made on the grounds that Judge Platts had erred in law on the grounds he had found the resolution of a technical defect to be inherent and in suggesting it was irrelevant how the problem was identified. The airline submitted that if a technical defect was found as a result of sabotage, terrorism or a manufacturing defect then it was an extraordinary circumstance as set out within the preamble to the Regulations.

On 31 January 2014, Lewison LJ granted leave to appeal, stating 'The grounds of appeal raise an important point of principle which, as the judge said "does not admit to an easy answer".'

The matter was listed at Court 68 of the Royal Courts of Justice on 22 May 2014. Each party was represented by a Queen's Counsel (QC) before Lord Justice Law, Lord Justice Elias and Lady Justice Gloster.

Outcome
At the end of the hearing on 22 May 2014 at the Royal Courts of Justice, the judges Law LJ, Elias LJ, and Gloster LJ reserved their judgment. The judgment on 11 June 2014 was found in favour of Mr Huzar.

Jet2.com requested to appeal against the ruling but the Supreme Court refused its application to do so stating that:"[...]the application does not raise a point of law of general public importance and, in relation to the point of European Union law said to be raised by or in response to the application, it is not necessary to request the Court of Justice to give any ruling, because the Court's existing jurisprudence already provides sufficient answer."Significance
On 13 June 2014, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) issued an apology to passengers who had previously sought its advice on flight delay or cancellation compensation. The authority confirmed that in the future, all claims should be assessed in light of the Huzar v Jet2 ruling, adding:

"Claims previously put to an airline can be reconsidered in the light of the judgement, if the passenger wishes, unless the passenger agreed a settlement with the airline."

Because of the landmark ruling, airlines are no longer able to claim that flight disruption caused by ordinary technical problems (such as wear and tear) are part of the extraordinary circumstances outlined in EU Regulation 261/2004.

Figures from the CAA show that on average 221.1 million terminal passengers per year use British airports. According to statistics released by the European Commission an average of 1.5 percent of flights to/from British airports each year are delayed or cancelled by more than three hours and so could potentially be claimable.

This is equivalent to approximately 3.27 million passengers per year for each of the previous six years, which is the period covered by the regulation in England and Wales (total 19.6 million passengers).

According to the final European Commission report 'Evaluation of Regulation 261/2004', an estimated 80 percent of EC261 claims are due to technical defects and so stand to be affected by this case. This means approximately 2.6 million passengers per year for each of the past six years (total 17.6 million passengers) could stand to be affected by the outcome of the Huzar'' case.

title: Clive Weeden

text:
Clive-Warren Nye Harvey-Weeden (born November 22, 1987) is an American basketball player for the South West Slammers of the NBL1 West. He played four seasons of college basketball for Dartmouth College before moving to Europe to begin his professional career. After short stints in Macedonia and Tunisia, Weeden arrived in Australia in 2013 and has played for the Slammers ever since.

High school career
Weeden attended Nashoba Regional High School in Bolton, Massachusetts and Northfield Mount Hermon School in Northfield, Massachusetts. As a wide receiver and punter, Weeden racked up 450 receiving yards and six touchdowns in his one year of high school football during his sophomore year at Northfield Mount Hermon. Boston College and UConn were among the school's who were intrigued by Weeden's football talent. However, he tore his MCL in track and subsequently missed the whole summer and the beginning of the fall, so he decided to not play football in his junior year.

In October 2006, Weeden committed to the Dartmouth Big Green men's basketball team. Before committing to Dartmouth, Weeden was on Boston College's radar due to his solid grades. Syracuse and Connecticut also made inquiries about Weeden and other coaches would occasionally stop by campus to check him out.

In addition to helping the Northfield Mount Hermon basketball team to 23 wins as a senior, Weeden showed surprising athleticism for someone so tall by leading the Hoggers to a share of the New England Prep School track championship as a senior, placing second in the javelin, second in the triple jump and sixth in the discus.

College career
Weeden played in 25 of the 28 games as a freshman at Dartmouth in 2007–08, starting two and averaging 11.8 minutes per game. He posted a season-high seven rebounds, including five on the offensive glass, against Brown on February 8, 2008. He scored a season-high six points twice, both coming in back-to-back games in late February.

As a sophomore in 2008–09, just as he had as a freshman, the ballhawking Weeden accomplished a rarity, grabbing more offensive rebounds than defensive. On January 3, 2009, he scored a career-high 10 points against Army. Against Penn at the Palestra on February 20, 2009, he was a perfect 3-for-3 from the field, scoring seven points and blocking two shots to help Dartmouth post its first season sweep of the Quakers in a half century. The next night, he grabbed three rebounds off the bench as the Big Green won at Princeton to complete its first sweep of the vaunted "Ps" in two decades.

As a junior in 2009–10, Weeden led Dartmouth in rebounding and ranked 10th in the Ivy League. He also had a team-best 16 blocks. Only two players in the conference averaged more offensive rebounds than Weeden. His first double-digit scoring game came against Furman on November 12, 2009, going 5-for-10 from the floor with his only career three-pointer for 11 points. He also grabbed 11 rebounds for his first career double-double in just 21 minutes on the court. He scored at least 11 points in two of the next three games as well, including a career-high 14 against Vermont along with 10 boards for another double-double. On February 13, 2010, he grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds against Yale.

As a senior in 2010–11, Weeden started every game and finished his career tying a school record with 109 games played. He is also ranked among the top 10 in Dartmouth history in blocked shots with 68. He tied career highs during the season, scoring 14 points against Colgate on November 27 and grabbing 13 rebounds against Yale on February 25. At 6'9", Weeden was the tallest player on a short Big Green team, but foul trouble often relegated him to the bench.

Professional career

Macedonia and Tunisia (2011–2012)
In September 2011, Weeden signed a contract to play professionally in Macedonia. He joined ABA Strumica, making his debut for the team on October 15, 2011. On December 3, 2011, he scored a season-high 19 points against Kožuv. In his final game for Strumica on December 21, 2011, he recorded a season-high 15 rebounds against Vardar. In 14 games for Strumica, he averaged 9.8 points and 5.7 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per game.

Between January and May 2012, Weeden played in Tunisia for Étoile Sportive du Sahel. He helped the team win the Tunisian Basketball Championship.

Weeden said of his first professional season, "My team in Macedonia was in a struggling situation and things fell apart but my team in Tunisia was one of the best in Africa."

South West Slammers (2013–2018; 2021; 2023–)
In February 2013, Weeden arrived in Australia to play for the South West Slammers of the State Basketball League (SBL). With Australian citizenship through his mother, Weeden was not classed as an import player. He helped the Slammers reach the playoffs but he missed their quarter-final series against the East Perth Eagles.

In 2014, Weeden averaged career highs in points (21.0) and rebounds (10.9) per game.

In 2015, Weeden missed the Slammers' entire playoff run after rupturing his ACL in the second last round of the regular season. He returned midway through the 2016 season after 10 months on the sidelines. He came into the 2017 season fully fit and healthy.

After serving as co-captain between 2015 and 2017, Weeden was named sole captain of the Slammers in 2018. He missed time towards the end of the 2018 season due to personal commitments. The final game of the 2018 season marked Weeden's 150th for the Slammers. He did not return to the Slammers in 2019.

In May 2021, Weeden joined the Slammers for the rest of the 2021 NBL1 West season. In eight games, he averaged 4.5 points and 3.75 rebounds per game.

In April 2023, Weeden joined the Slammers for the 2023 NBL1 West season.

title: Pic de la Munia

text:
The Pic de la Munia culminating at  is the highest point of the three cirques of Troumouse, Barroude and Barrosa. It is located on the border between France (Hautes-Pyrénées department) and Spain (Huesca province).

Toponymy
Era Munia could mean "nun", from « moniale », of Spanish origin. Otherwise, it could stem from Latin, moenia meaning « walls », which corresponds to its relief.

Access
There are three main access routes which lead to the summit of la Munia.

The first, most direct and most frequented, runs along the impressive north face, in the vast cirque de Troumouse. The starting point is located at the Troumouse car park, at about 2,100 m. The ascent is a bit technical (PD), with two delicate passages : a first small wall (III-) that one needs to climb before arriving at the col de la Munia, then the cat's footstep (II) shortly before the summit ~ all this achieved in a spectacular high mountain landscape. After having reached the col de la Munia (at 2,853 m), the route leading to the summit is clear-cut, leading straight east, by a sharp ridge.

The second starts south, in the Pineta valley at about 1,900 m. A path leads (without any major difficulty) to the col de la Munia, this time from the other side of the mountain. The ascent concludes the same way as the first route.

The third, begins at Troumouse car park, but runs through the most eastern point of the cirque. The ascent is made along the crest, from east to west.

In the film Brown stars as a sewage worker who ends up transforming into a hideous mutant by way of toxic sewage.

Plot
Jack (Jason David Brown) is an average sewage worker who has been asked to investigate a water contamination in his hometown that has forced everyone else, including his pregnant wife Shelley (Molly Dunsworth), to evacuate. He decides to investigate the local sewage plant but ends up getting trapped in a septic tank by Lord Auch (Tim Burd) and his brother Giant (Robert Maillet). They refuse to let Jack out despite his pleas and the toxic sewage eventually begins to transform Jack into the hideous mutant Septic Man.

Reception
Ain't It Cool News and Dread Central both praised Septic Man, and Dread Central called it a "bizarre yet inventive film" and remarked that the film would not be for everyone's tastes. Fangoria and Complex both gave negative reviews overall, and Complex wrote that "It's a shame that Septic Man lacks the significance and social commentary of The Toxic Avenger, to which it's frequently compared, and settles for a straightforward plot to please fans of gag-inducing humor."

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 16% based on 19 reviews, with an average rating of 3.51/10. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 8 out of 100, based on seven critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".

title: Rowing at the 1976 Summer Olympics – Men's single sculls

text:
The men's single sculls competition at the 1976 Summer Olympics took place at Notre Dame Island Olympic Basin, Canada. The event was held from 18 to 25 July. There were 15 competitors from 15 nations, with each nation limited to a single boat in the event. The event was won by Pertti Karppinen of Finland, the nation's first medal in the men's single sculls. Karppinen would go on to win three consecutive golds in the event, matching the Soviet Union's Vyacheslav Ivanov who did the same from 1956 to 1964. Silver went to Peter-Michael Kolbe of West Germany; East Germany took its second consecutive bronze medal in the event, this time with Joachim Dreifke as the rower.

Background

This was the 17th appearance of the event. Rowing had been on the programme in 1896 but was cancelled due to bad weather. The single sculls has been held every time that rowing has been contested, beginning in 1900.

Two of the 18 single scullers from the 1972 Games returned: fifth-place finisher Jim Dietz of the United States and seventh-place finisher Seán Drea of Ireland. The two men had each won a silver medal at the World Championships since then (Dietz in 1974 and Drea in 1975), as that event moved from a quadrennial tournament to an annual one; Drea had also won three Diamond Challenge Sculls victories. The reigning World Champion was Peter-Michael Kolbe of West Germany. Kolbe was favored, though Drea was a significant challenger, as was 1975 Pan American champion Ricardo Ibarra of Argentina.

No nations made their debut in the event. The United States made its 14th appearance, tying the absent Great Britain for most among nations.

Competition format

This rowing event was a single scull event, meaning that each boat was propelled by a single rower. The "scull" portion means that the rower used two oars, one on each side of the boat. The course used the 2000 metres distance that became the Olympic standard in 1912.

The tournament used the four-round format (three main rounds and a repechage) that had been used since 1968. The competition continued to use the six-boat heat standardised in 1960 as well as the "B" final for ranking 7th through 12th place introduced in 1964.

 Quarterfinals: Three heats of 5 boats each. The top three boats in each heat (9 total) advanced directly to the semifinals. The remaining boats (6 total) went to the repechage.
 Repechage: One heat of 6 boats. The top three boats rejoined the quarterfinal winners in the semifinals. The other boats (3 total) were eliminated.
 Semifinals: Two heats of 6 boats each. The top three boats in each heat (6 total) advanced to Final A, the remaining boats (6 total) went to Final B.
 Final: Two finals. Final A consisted of the top 6 boats. Final B placed boats 7 through 12.

title: Bob Girls

text:
Bob Girls () was a South Korean girl group under the management of Chrome Entertainment. The group consisted of four members, Dahye, Yujeong, Jina and Danbi. They debuted on June 10, 2014 with the single "No Way" from The 1st Single Album.
In February 2015, it was reported that Jina was diagnosed with encephalitis and the group was disbanded.

History

Chrome Entertainment released a picture of Bob Girls on May 21. All four members had bobbed hair, and the agency stated, "Usually when girls cut their long hair, it means they are going through some mental changes. Likewise, Bob Girls aims to represent a shift of womanhood of our times."

Bob Girls' debut showcase was held on June 10 in Gangnam, Seoul. That same day, their first album was released along with a music video for "No Way", the lead single. The album also included a second song, "Oh My Boy" (왜이래; Wae Irae, lit. "Why This Way"). The group made its debut on the music show M! Countdown on June 12. On July 30, promotions began for "Oh My Boy" with a performance on Show Champion. The next day, Bob Girls' album was re-released as Summer Repackage, with summer remixes of both songs.

In late 2014, Bob Girls participated in the first Chrome Family project, a single album titled 2014 Chrome Family – A Very Special Christmas . The album was released digitally on December 3, as well as a music video for the single, "Love Christmas".

On February 24, 2015, it was reported that member Jina was recently diagnosed with encephalitis and her contract with the label was terminated to undergo treatment. Chrome Entertainment also announced the disbandment of the group as the contract of all the other members were terminated as well. On April 2, it was announced that Dahye (now known as Migyo) and Danbi will debut in a four-member girl group called Love Us. On May 8, it was reported that Yujeong would re-debut in a new group in the second half of the year.

title: Tavo Burat

text:
Tavo Burat (born Gustavo Buratti Zanchi, 22 May 1932 – 8 December 2009) was an Italian Waldensian writer and journalist. Burat spent much of his life defending the Piedmontese language island. Beginning in 1964, Burat was the secretary of an international association that defends languages and cultures threatened with extinction. He specifically focused on defending Piedmontese and Franco-Provençal.

Biography

Born in Stezzano in 1932, Burat graduated in law with a dissertation titled Right in Graubünden. He taught French at a middle school from 1968 to 1994.

He was the founder and first director of  (in English literally The plough), one of the few magazines written in Piedmontese and widespread all around the region, and was as well an editor of the mountaineering review ALP from 1974 to 2009. He wrote several history essays, notably about brigandage in northwest Italy and the heresy led by Fra Dolcino. His research about Dolcino involved him not only at a scientific level but also ideally, and Burat considered himself as a neo-dolcinian. In 1974 on the summit of Monte Rubello (1,414 m), where in 1907 left-wing workers of Biella and the Sesia Valley erected a monument on the place of Fra Dolcino last resistance, he laid a new stone memorial. The first monument was symbolically gunned down in 1927 by the Fascists. The 1974 opening ceremony was attended by thousands of people and guided by the Italian Nobel prize Dario Fo.

Tavo Burat also pursued an active political career, at first in the Italian Socialist Party and later in the Verdi, focusing particularly on ecological issues. The Biella section of the voluntary association Legambiente is named Tavo Burat in order to celebrate his environmentalist legacy.

He died in 2009.

title: Serious Crime Act 2015

text:
The Serious Crime Act 2015 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Introduced in June 2014 as part of the Queen's Speech opening the 2014-15 session of Parliament, the Bill was sponsored by the Home Office. It was passed by Parliament on 2 March 2015, and received royal assent on 3 March 2015.

The Bill proceeding the Act proposed a 'Cinderella Law' to outlaw causing emotional distress of children, regulate corrupt accountants and other businesses who assist criminal gangs, regulate 'drug cutting agents', and deal with offences related to female genital mutilation, paedophilia, and amend the Terrorism Act 2006.

Part 1: Proceeds of Crime

This part amends the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 in determining the extent of a defendant's interest in confiscated property, and amends the procedures surrounding costs and court sentencing. This includes amending, defining, or creating regulations on the extent of a defendant's interest in proceeds of crime, the provision of information by third parties, the time-frame and manner of payment, absconding defendants, and connected purposes.

Part 2: Computer Misuse

This part amends the Computer Misuse Act 1990 in relation to hacking, creating viruses or Trojan Horses, the deliberate act of creating serious risk to computers or computer systems and amends the territorial extent of computer crimes. This includes a new offence of impairing a computer to cause damage, with a 14 years' prison sentence for damage to the economy or environment, in addition to ensuring the United Kingdom adopts the EU Directive 2013/40/EU on attacks against information systems.

Part 3: Organised, Serious and Gang-related Crime

This part adopts the ratified UN Convention against Transnational Organised Crime. The new 'participation offence' would encompass not just those who carry out an act of serious crime, but those who provide materials, services or related infrastructure. The Bill would extend elements of the Serious Crime Act 2007 to Scotland, and extends the making of a Serious Crime Prevention Order to include firearms offences and the cultivation of cannabis plants.

Part 4: Seizure and Forfeiture of Drug-cutting Agents

This part creates and extends the power of search and seizure warrants related to the investigation into the creation or ownership of substances used when 'cutting' drugs.

Part 5: Protection of Children, etc.

This part extends the definition of child cruelty to incorporate abuse, neglect or psychological damage, and amends existing legislation relating to paedophile material to include publications that advise on how to commit or facilitate sexual offences against children. It also prohibits intentional communication of a sexual nature with a minor (including encouraging the minor to communicate anything of a sexual nature) for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification. Existing legislation on female genital mutilation is also amended by this part. This Part amends the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, making it explicit that suffering of a child can be physical or psychological, and amends the offence of suffocating a child under three. Finally, this part creates the offence of "controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate or family relationship".

Part 6: Miscellaneous and General

This part deals with the preparation or training abroad for terrorist related activities, amendments related to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in relation to serious crime, and consequential amendments. The unauthorised possession of a bladed instrument within a prison is made an explicit offence by this Part, amending the Prison Act 1952 to include prisons, secure training centres and young offender institutions.

title: John W. Loftus

text:
John Wayne Loftus (born September 18, 1954) is an American atheist author. He has written five books, and edited seven others.

Early life and education
Loftus was born on September 18, 1954. He earned a bachelor's degree from Great Lakes Christian College in 1977, Master of Arts and Master of Divinity degrees from Lincoln Christian Seminary in 1982, and a Master of Theology degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1985. He dropped out of a Doctor of Philosophy program in theology and ethics at Marquette University in 1987.

Career
Loftus was a minister and taught apologetics, philosophy, critical thinking, and ethics at several colleges, including The College of Lake County, Grayslake, IL, Lincoln Christian University, Lincoln, IL, Great Lakes Christian College, Lansing, MI, and Trine University, Angola, IN. In the mid 1990s, in light of an extramarital affair, Loftus had a crisis of faith and eventually rejected Christianity.

As of November 2021, Loftus has authored and edited twelve books: The Christian Delusion (2010), The End of Christianity (2011), Why I Became an Atheist (2012), The Outsider Test of Faith: How to Know Which Religion Is True (2013), God or Godless (2013, co-written with Randal Rauser), Christianity Is Not Great (2014), How to Defend the Christian Faith: Advice from an Atheist (2015), Christianity in the Light of Science (2016), UnApologetic: Why Philosophy of Religion Must End (2016), and The Case against Miracles (2019). He edited an anthology, God and Horrendous Suffering (2021). He co-edited, with Robert M. Price, an anthology by prominent contemporary English-speaking mythicists, Varieties of Jesus Mythicism: Did He Even Exist? (2021).

The Outsider Test for Faith

In his book The Outsider Test For Faith, Loftus asks believers to test their religious faith as an outsider: "The best way to test one’s adopted religious faith is from the perspective of an outsider with no double standards, using the same level of skepticism one uses to evaluate other religious faiths." "It is no different than the prince in the Cinderella story who must question forty-five thousand people to see which girl lost the glass slipper at the ball the previous night. They all claim to have done so. Therefore, skepticism is definitely warranted when approaching any woman who claims to have the right foot fit."

This test has been disputed by Norman Geisler in "From Apologist to Atheist: A Critical Review", Thomas Talbott in "The Outsider Test for Faith: How Serious a Challenge Is It?",
Mark Hanna, Biblical Christianity: Truth or Delusion?
Matthew Flannagan, "A Review of the Christian Delusion", and David Marshall, How Jesus Passes the Outsider Test: The Inside Story.

title: 2014 World Judo Championships

text:
The 2014 World Judo Championships were held in Chelyabinsk, Russia, from 25 to 31 August 2014, in the Traktor Ice Arena. Each participating country was permitted to present a total of 18 men and women judokas to participate in the 14 weight categories (7 male and 7 female), but no more than two judokas from the same country were allowed to fight in the same category.

Bids
Bids were made by Azerbaijan, Russia, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, and the United States to the International Judo Federation for the initial staging of the championships. On 2 October 2012, it was announced that Russia would hold the full championships for the first time. Previously, the 1983 World Judo Championships had been held in the Soviet Union (Moscow) and the open category of the 2011 Championships were held in Tyumen. One reason for the choice was the successful staging of the 2012 European Judo Championships in Chelyabinsk.

On 17 December 2012, at the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow,  the President of IJF Marius Wizer, Mikhail Yurevich (the governor of Chelyabinsk Oblast) and Sergey Soloveychik, the vice-president of the Russian Judo Federation and the head of the European Judo Union, signed an agreement to host the championships.

On 2 September 2013, following the 2013 World Judo Championships, the flag of the International Judo Federation was passed to a representative of the Russian Judo Federation.

On 19 March 2014, the regulations of the competitions were approved for the competition. The championship took place between 25 and 31 August, with the individual tournament taking place between 25 and 30 August, and the team tournament on 31 August.

Venue

The championships were held at the Traktor Ice Arena, with a capacity of 7,500 spectators.

Mascot
The mascot of the championships was a baby tiger named Zhorik, a diminutive form of Georgiy. The mascot was chosen in a unanimous vote held before the 2012 European Judo Championships.

Logo
The logo of the championships was a blue-white rectangle, augmented at the base by a red belt. The colours of the logo repeat the Russian flag. The logo also features a white silhouette of Vladimir Putin taken from a photo on the cover of the book Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin.

Prize money
Total prize money was $300,000. The winner of the individual competition received $6,000 ($4,800 for the judoka and $1,200 for the coach), the runner-up $4,000 ($3,200 and $800, for the judoka and the coach respectively) and the bronze medalist $2,000 ($1,600 and $400, respectively). The two best judokas (man and woman) were awarded $2,000.

The winners of the team competition received a total of $25,000 ($20,000 for judokas and $5,000 for coaches), the runner-up $15,000 ($12,000 and $3,000 respectively) and the bronze medalist $5,000 ($4,000 and $1,000 respectively).

Rules

The rules of competition changed on January 1, 2014.

The IJF continued to differentiate judo from other kinds of wrestling, particularly from sambo, and reverted to classical judo traditions. Activity by the hands below the belt in standing position, limited by 2010 rules, is now fully forbidden under penalty of disqualification. In the spirit of saving specific characteristics of judo, possibility of fight for hold is limited: wrong methods of protection from holds is prohibited, and there is a limit to the number of protections from holds. Likewise, other methods of evading fight or blocking of an opponent are forbidden; for example, false attacks or coercion to assume bend position by power. The criteria of victory by fall (ippon) is specified: now a throw must have more power, quickness and amplitude with the fall of the opponent straight to their back. Rituals about combat were also modified: for example, opponents must greet each other only by bows; as handshaking before combat is now forbidden. The Golden score overtime is not limited by time, and winning by judge decision () is abolished.

The World of the Bible (), published by Bayard Presse, is a 150-page quarterly review that offers a historical, archeological, and artistic approach to the biblical universe. It succeeded  ('Bible and Holy Land'), , a periodical published by the eponymous organization from 1957 to 1977. The editor in chief of The World of the Bible is Benoît de Sagazan since October 2008.

Due to its editorial style, The World of the Bible is more appropriately called a review than a magazine. Its writers and contributors are often authorities in their disciplines, which vary from exegesis, history of religions, archeology, to art history.

Established scholars, such as Thomas Römer (professor at the Collège de France), Daniel Marguerat (University of Lausanne), Marie-Françoise Baslez (Sorbonne), Michel Quesnel (Catholic University of Lyon), Simon Claude Minouni (EPHE), Régis Burnet (UCLouvain), Bertrand Lafond (CNRS), François Brossier (professor emeritus at the Catholic Institute of Paris), and archeologist Estelle Villeneuve (Maison René Ginouvès of archeology and ethnology, Nanterre), preside over its editorial and scientific committee.

The review publishes English and French e-books in the fields mentioned above.

It maintains a partnership with Welt und Umwelt der Bibel in Germany and Il Mondo della Bibbia in Italy.

title: Ventilation perfusion mismatch

text:
Ventilation perfusion mismatch  or V/Q defects are defects in the total lung ventilation/perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio). It is a condition in which one or more areas of the lung receive oxygen but no blood flow, or they receive blood flow but no oxygen. In a healthy lung, the rate of alveolar ventilation to the rate of pulmonary blood flow is roughly equal; more precisely, because normal lungs are not perfectly matched, the V/Q ratio of a healthy lung is approximately 0.8.

Pathogenesis

Consider some scenarios where there is a defect in ventilation and/ or perfusion of the lungs.

In a condition such as pulmonary embolism, the pulmonary blood flow is affected, thus the ventilation of the lung is adequate, however there is a perfusion defect. Gas exchange thus becomes highly inefficient leading to hypoxemia, as measured by arterial oxygenation. A ventilation perfusion scan or lung scintigraphy shows some areas of lungs being ventilated but not adequately perfused. This results in a raised Alveolar-arterial (A-a) gradient which is responsive to supplemental oxygen.

In conditions with right to left shunts, there are also ventilation perfusion defects with high A-a gradients. Hypoxemia is difficult to correct with supplemental oxygen and is associated with a widened A-a gradient. In cases of right to left shunts more of deoxygenated blood mixes with oxygenated blood from the lungs and thus to a small extent the condition might neutralize the high A-a gradient with pure oxygen therapy.
Patient with parenchymal lung diseases will have an increased A-a gradient with moderate response to oxygen therapy.

A patient with hypoventilation will have complete response to 100% oxygen therapy.

Diagnosis

To check whether we are suffering from ventilation perfusion mismatch or not, we need to get a lung scan. It is a simple test to check ventilation and perfusion separately. If both scans are done simultaneously then it is called as V/Q scan. Ventilation Scan is done first as it is easy to wash out tracer gas from lungs with the help of hyperventilation than clearing the tracer radioactive material from blood.

Indication: It is most commonly done in suspected case of pulmonary embolism.

 Ventilation Scan: Takes 15 to 20 minutes. A radioactive tracer gas is inhaled and then this radioactive tracer gas is traced (looked) by taking pictures from specialised camera which capture the route and location of tracer gas. These pictures show us the part of lung devoid of tracer gas and then we correlate it with different types of lung pathology.
 By using a mouth piece while closing nose with the help of clip, person is asked to inhale the radioactive tracer gas for few minutes and pictures are taken at regular intervals.
 Then person is asked to hold the breath and remain still for at least 10 seconds and final picture is taken.
 Then by looking upon the picture, the poorly ventilated or overvented area is noted.
 Perfusion scan: It is done by injecting a radioactive tracer into a peripheral vein usually in arms and then following the path of tracer by camera as the tracer moves to lungs. It tells us about the area of lung poorly perfused or any type of obstruction to the flow like in case of pulmonary embolism which will seen on image as an area devoid of tracer element distal to the obstruction.

Results:

 Ventilation Scan is abnormal but perfusion scan is normal indicating abnormal airway suggesting COPD or ASTHMA.
 Ventilation Scan is normal but perfusion is abnormal indicating any obstruction to the blood flow (perfusion), may be because of the PULMONARY  EMBOLISM  obstructing the flow.
 Both scans are abnormal. It may be found in PNEUMONIA  or COPD.

Results are reported in following way:

 Normal - No abnormality found.
 Low Probability - Chances of blood clot is low. Needs further and more testing.
 Intermediate Probability - Scan shows possibility of blood clot. Needs more testing.
 High Probability - High chances of clot. Needs treatment.

Management

Through ventilation and perfusion scans, the abnormal area of lung may be localized. A provisional diagnosis of COPD, asthma or pulmonary embolisms may be made. Treatment of these underlying conditions may address ventilation perfusion mismatch.

Management of the condition may vary. If ventilation is abnormal or low, increasing the tidal volume or the rate may result in the poorly ventilated area receiving an adequate amount of air, which ultimately leads to an improved V/Q ratio. Conversely, if perfusion scan is of low quality showing low perfusion to lung as in case of hypovolemia, treatment of the conditions is by giving it fluid and using inotropes in case of shock.

One day, she decides to show him the aliens, but an accident occurs and Kuroneko dies while Murakami is left seriously wounded in the hospital. Years go by and Murakami obsesses on finding proof of the existence of aliens because of a promise he had made with Kuroneko. Then, one day, a new transfer student comes to his class, who not only looks a lot like Kuroneko, but is named Neko Kuroha. Despite Murakami's determination, she insists on never having met Murakami before. Furthermore, to his astonishment, the girl has superhuman strength and appears to be able to predict the future.

This is a list of earthquakes in 1925. Only magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes will appear on the list. Lower magnitude events are also included if they caused death, injury or damage. Events which occurred in remote areas will be excluded from the list as they wouldn't have generated significant media interest. All dates are listed according to UTC time. It was a fairly busy year with several deadly events occurring. Most notably was an earthquake in China in March which left at least 5,000 dead. Other deadly events occurred in Iran, Japan, the Philippines and California. No earthquake exceeded a magnitude of 7.3; in the vast majority of years there have been at least one or two events much more powerful than that.

title: Wollogorang Station

text:
Wollogorang Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station straddling the border the Northern Territory and Queensland.

Location
The property is situated approximately  north west of Doomadgee and  west of Burketown. The homestead overlooks Settlement Creek. It has approximately  of frontage onto the Gulf of Carpentaria.

The property is bordered by the Pungalina-Seven Emu Sanctuary and Calvert Hills Station to the west, the Gulf of Carpentaria to the north, the Queensland border to the east and the Waanyi-Garawa Aboriginal Land Trust to the south.

Description
Several watercourses flow through the property including Branch Creek, Settlement Creek, Gold Creek and Running Creek.

Wollogorang occupies an area of . and is able to carry more than 40,000 head of cattle.

It contains the Wollogorang Important Bird Area.

History
The name Wollogorang in the local Indigenous Australian peoples language means Happy running waters, the name comes from Settlement Creek which runs through the property.

The first Europeans to visit the area was the Ludwig Leichhardt expedition from Queensland to Port Essington in 1845. The lease for the landholding was established in 1881 by the Chisholm family who had come from Wollogorang House near Goulburn. Wollogarang/Wollogorang is a name associated with the Chisholms back to the 1820s, long before their settling of this property.  Initially established and stocked in 1883 the property boasts the longest continuous occupation of any property in the Northern Territory  as, unlike others, it has never been abandoned since it was first settled. The Anning family purchased the property in 1895 for £3000 after the station manager, Harry Shadforth, had been speared by Aborigines.

Copper was discovered on the property in 1899.

The Annings sold the property in about 1906.

An American, A.L. Standberry of Arizona bought the station in 1966.

However, his term was short, as long term owner Paul Zlotkowski first bought the property in the late 1960s. Zlotkowski sold it a few years later to businessman Bela Csidei. Later, after the businessman was arrested on drugs charges in 1978, Zlotkowski bought the property back from its liquidator.

In 2007 a Filipino worker, Pablo Balading, arrived in Australia on a 457 visa to commence work on Amungee Mungee Station. Instead he was taken to Wollogorang where he worked as a farm hand. Balading was harassed by his Australian workmates until he was killed when he fell from a vehicle speeding down a dirt road on the property. He died shortly afterwards and his family was left without any compensation or information on to what had caused his death. The company was fined for not providing a safe workplace for this incident three years later.

The owner in 2006 was still Paul Zlotkowski who had placed it on the market for 40 million in 2008.  However, he did not succeed in selling the station until 2015.

The buyer in 2015 was Chinese businessman Xingfa Ma. In 2020 it was bought by the McMillan family of Cloncurry.

title: Damon Salesa

text:
Damon Ieremia Salesa (born 30 December 1972) is a New Zealand academic. Of Samoan descent, he is the first Pacific person to hold the position of vice-chancellor at a New Zealand university.

Education
Raised in Glen Innes, Salesa attended Selwyn College and then the University of Auckland. He graduated in 1997 with a master's of arts and the title of his thesis was "Troublesome half-castes" : tales of a Samoan borderland. Salesa was the first Rhodes Scholar of Pacific descent, obtaining his PhD from the University of Oxford. The title of his doctoral thesis was Race mixing: a Victorian problem in Britain and New Zealand, 1830s–1870.

Academic career
He was an associate professor of history at the University of Michigan, before returning to Auckland where he has been co-head of Te Wānanga o Waipapa (School of Māori Studies and Pacific Studies) and pro vice-chancellor (Pacific) at the University of Auckland.

Salesa is a Fellow of the Royal Society Te Apārangi.

In 2017, Salesa attracted significant press both with claims that Auckland has "residential segregation", and that Pacific Island sports stars are denied governance roles.

In November 2021, Salesa was appointed as Vice-Chancellor of Auckland University of Technology (AUT). In late October 2022, Salesa confirmed that AUT was proceeding with plans to make 250 full-time staff including 170 academic staff redundant. In justifying the redundancies, Salesa cited rising salary costs, declining government funding, and a projected decline in the number of student enrollments for 2023. In response, the Tertiary Education Union announced that it would take legal action against AUT in an attempt to halt the 170 academic staff redundancies.  In early January 2023, the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) ruled that AUT had violated its collective employment agreement with academic staff and ordered the University to rescind the 170 severance notices it had issued in December 2022.

Awards
In 2021, Salesa was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society Te Apārangi, in recognition of "his outstanding interdisciplinary contribution to Pacific Studies".

Personal life
Salesa is married to Jenny Salesa, a lawyer and member of the New Zealand parliament for the Labour Party. They have two children.

title: Offiziersstellvertreter

text:
Offiziersstellvertreter, short OStv (en: Officer deputy), is a rank of the higher non-commissioned officers rank group (also staff NCO group) in the Austrian Bundesheer and Imperial German Army.

Austria-Hungaria (until 1918)
In 1915 the position Offiziersstellvertreter was introduced to the Austro-Hungarian armed forces, at the time being not as rank, but as an assignment. It was the intention to equalise the high number of World War I losses. Promoted were staff NCOs (Stabsfeldwebel, Stabswachtmeister, Stabsfeuerwerker, and/or Stabsoberjäger) who did have the appropriate rank at least for one month. Together with the staff NCOs the Offiziersstellvertreter formed the rank group of higher NCOs (de: higher Unteroffiziere).

German Empire and Weimar Republic
The rank was created in the Imperial German Army in 1887.

title: Jorge Paixão

text:
Jorge Manuel da Silva Paixão Santos (born 19 December 1965), known as Paixão, is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a striker, currently manager of Kuwaiti Division One club Al-Yarmouk SC.

Playing career
Born in Almada, Setúbal District, Paixão's 11-year professional career was almost entirely spent in the Portuguese second and third divisions, representing Amora FC (two spells), C.F. União de Coimbra, Louletano D.C. and GD Bragança.

The exception to this was in the 1985–86 season, when he appeared three times as a substitute for Académica de Coimbra in the Primeira Liga. He retired in June 1995 at the age of 29, after a spell with amateurs Atlético Clube da Malveira.

Coaching career
Following retirement, Paixão moved into coaching. He first served as the assistant manager for two teams, before his first management role when in 2002 he was appointed head coach of Almada A.C. in the Setúbal Football Association. Over the next ten years he was in charge of several clubs in the third tier, and also had spells abroad in Angola with C.R. Caála and Qatar with Al-Mesaimeer SC.

Paixão was appointed at second-division side S.C. Farense in September 2013. In March of the following year he first reached the top flight with S.C. Braga who were in tenth place, leading the team to ninth position after winning only two of his ten league games in charge, but reaching the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal, where they were defeated by Rio Ave FC.

On 14 May 2014, Braga announced that Paixão's contract would not be renewed. On 24 June 2014 he signed for Polish club Zawisza Bydgoszcz, winning the SuperCup shortly after by defeating Legia Warsaw 3–2.

Paixão moved back to his native country in October 2014 with S.C. Olhanense, leaving his post the following February. He took charge of Farense also in the second tier in June, agreeing to a mutual termination of his contract on 30 November.

On 30 December 2015, Paixão was appointed at C.D. Mafra (also for a second time, having previously been coach in 2010). The team were struggling prior to his arrival, and he was unable to prevent their relegation from the second division. At the end of July 2016, he was replaced.

title: Pic Schrader

text:
The Pic Schrader or Grand Batchimale is a central Pyrenean summit, culminating at , located for the most part in Spain. It buckles the Louron valley with its impressive silhouette

It is located between the massifs of Monte Perdido and Posets.

Toponymy
Formerly named Grand Batchimale, it was renamed in honour of the mountaineer, cartographer, geographer and landscape painter Franz Schrader (1844-1924), who charted many mountains and valleys in the Pyrenees in the 19th century and who carried out its first known ascent on August 11, 1878, with the mountain guide Henri Passet.

The name Batchimale is the name of the borderline crest of which it is the highest summit (there is also the Petit Batchimale). Franz Schrader quotes in his memoirs the term Pic Pétard in the sense of Pic Tonnerre ("thunder").

Topography
It is located on the Franco-Spanish borderline crest between the Louron valley (Hautes-Pyrénées) and the Spanish Huesca province, which is also situated on the Pyrenean watershed.

History
On August 11, 1878, at 10:05, the first ascent was carried out by Franz Schrader, Henri Passet and a porter whose name is forgotten.

Access
Pic Schrader can be accessed from the French side through the valley of La Pez or from the refuge of La Soula. From the Spanish side, there are two itineraries, from the Viados refuge, following the western crest of la Punta del Sabre and, less frequented, passing by the Batchimale lakes.
