title: Iris winogradowii

text:
Iris winogradowii  is a species of flowering plant in the genus Iris, classified in the subgenus Hermodactyloides and section Reticulatae. It is a bulbous perennial, from the Caucasus mountains of Azerbaijan and Georgia.

Description
It has pale primrose yellow flowers, with green spots on the falls, the scented flowers are up 5 cm tall and emerge between April and May. With stem and flower the plant reaches a height of 10–15 cm. The leaves emerge after flowering and grow up to 30–40 cm. It has between 2–4 leaves each growing season.

Taxonomy
It is sometimes known from the common name of Wingradoff's iris.

It was named after P.Z. Winogradow-Nitikin who first described it.

It was first found in 1914 and then published and described by Aleksandr Vasiljevich Fomin in 'Schedule Herb Flora Caucasus'. Vol.4 on page 88 in 1914.

An illustration was seen in 1961 in the 'Collins Guide to Bulbs'. It was grown in Australia from seed provided by the Komarov Botanical Institute in St. Petersburg in 1972.

It was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 4 April 2003, then updated on 1 December 2004.

Iris winogradowii is an accepted name by the RHS. The iris later gained the RHS's Award of Garden Merit.

Distribution and habitat
It is native to temperate Asia.

Range
It is found in Azerbaijan and Georgia.

In 1972, Dr Rodionenko noted that several hundred iris plants were on Mount Lomtismta near Bakuriani, (in Georgia).

Habitat
In 1914, it was originally found in the gravelly soils of the alpine meadows of Mount Lomtismta. Part of the Caucasus regions of Adzharo-Imeretinskiy Range.

Conservation
The plant is now on the 'endangered' list. Now only found in the republics of Georgia and Abkhazia. Only a couple of hundred plants existed in 1978.
In the Caucasus mountains, it is at risk of extinction due to the over-collection of the flowers and bulbs.

Cultivation
It was first grown in the UK in 1923.

Due to its alpine origins, it prefers to grow in semi-shade in cool peat enriched soils.

It is normally grown in a rock garden, alpine house or bulb frame.
In gardens it prefers humus-rich, porous soil in cool shade and does best if replanted each year after a fairly dry summer.

It has been remarked that this species is difficult to grow in a pot.

Cultivars

In 1960, E.B. Anderson created the hybrid of Iris histrioides and Iris winogradowii. He then named the plant after the wife of a fellow enthusiast, Eliot Hodgkin (mother of Sir Gordon Howard Eliot Hodgkin). Iris Katharine Hodgkin has light blue standards and pale yellow falls.

Iris 'Sheila Ann Germaney' is another hybrid between Iris histrioides and Iris winogradowii. It is similar to 'Katherine Hodgkin', with a paler blue tone and less yellow colouring.

Iris 'Frank Elder' is a white form hybrid.

The Academy is located at the National Agricultural Science Centre Complex, Pusa, in New Delhi, India.

Profile

The National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) owes it origin to the vision of the late Dr. B. P. Pal, noted Indian agricultural scientist, who first put forth the idea of setting up a back-end chat room for assisting the decision makers on policies aimed at the development of agriculture in India. Tailing his advice, the Academy was formed in 1990 to assist research in agricultural and related sciences, to provide a forum for agricultural scientists for deliberations, and to organize seminars, congresses and conferences for the propagation of the philosophy of agriculture, which it has been carrying out since inception. It also maintains a Corporate Membership scheme for the corporate sector.

title: AS Monaco Basket

text:
Association Sportive de Monaco Basketball Club, commonly referred to as A.S. Monaco Basket or simply Monaco, is a French-registered Monaco-based professional basketball club. They are a part of the Monaco-based multi-sports club of A.S. Monaco, which was founded in 1924.

The club's basketball section was founded four years later in 1928, and it currently competes in the French top-tier level LNB Pro A and the EuroLeague. Monaco plays their home games at Salle Gaston Médecin.

Monaco has won one EuroCup title in 2021, one French Cup in 2023, and three Leaders Cups.

History
About four years after the parent athletic club, A.S. Monaco, was itself founded, A.S. Monaco Basket was founded in 1928. They finished as runners-up in the French top-tier level Nationale 1 (current LNB Pro A) following the 1950 season, which is regarded as one of their greatest successes in their history. Monaco also won the LNB Pro B (French 2nd Division) championship in the 1973 season, with one of the greatest offenses on the European continent.

A.S. Monaco Basket joined the Nationale 1 for the 1973–74 season, where they finished in ninth place. They made their first appearance in the European 3rd-tier level FIBA Korać Cup in the 1974–75 season, where they lost in the group stage to other notable teams, such as the French League club ASVEL Basket, the Bulgarian League club Levski Sofia, and the Italian League club AMG Sebastiani Basket. They entered the same tournament again in the 1982–83 season, but lost to Dynamo Moscow in the semifinals qualification battle, in the Top 16 group stage, despite a far better finish in the tournament overall.

Entering the 1980s, Monaco was in the process of securing their title as one of the most dangerous teams in French basketball. They reached the finals game of the French Federation Cup, where they lost to Limoges CSP, by a score of 96–81. The Red and Whites also became a threat in the LNB Pro A (French 1st Division), what the league had been renamed to, after former NBA player, Robert Smith, joined the team in 1985. Smith was named the 1987 French League All-Star Game MVP.

After Smith left the team, Monaco found themselves descending in the league. They were relegated to the second division LNB Pro B, later in the decade, and eventually ended up in the Nationale 1 Division. They would not return to the LNB Pro A, the highest division of basketball in France, for many years to come. In 2014, A.S. Monaco Basket was crowned the champions of the French third-tier league, the Nationale Masculine 1 (NM1), and they returned to the LNB Pro B (French 2nd Division).

In the 2014–15 season, Monaco became the French 2nd-tier LNB Pro B champions, and they were finally promoted back to the top-tier league in France, the LNB Pro A. In 2015, the Ukrainian businessman and philanthropist, Sergey Dyadechko, became the President of A.S. Monaco Basket. In the 2015–16 season, Monaco won the 2016 edition of the French Pro A League Cup, after beating Élan Chalon in the finals, by a score of 99–74. Monaco player, Jamal Shuler, was named the French Pro A Leaders Cup MVP.

In the 2016–17 season, Monaco returned to European-wide competitions, when it qualified for one of the pan-European secondary level competitions, the FIBA Basketball Champions League. They finished the season in third place. In 2017, the charity fund, DSF, founded by the club's owner, Dyadechko, became a sponsor of A.S. Monaco Basket. The club also played in the FIBA Champions League, during the 2017–18 season, in which they finished in second place, after they lost to the Greek League club AEK Athens in the final, by a score of 100–94. The club won the 2017 French Pro A League Cup and the 2018 French Pro A League Cup titles. They also finished in second place in the French Pro A League, in the 2017–18 season.

In European-wide competitions, Monaco spent the next three seasons (2018–19, 2019–20, and 2020–21) playing in the other pan-European secondary level competition, the EuroCup, subsequently winning it in 2020–21. In the 2021–22 season, Monaco made its debut in the EuroLeague, the highest pan-European level. Finishing seventh in the regular season with a 15–13 record, Monaco qualified for the playoffs where they lost 2–3 to the second-seeded Olympiacos.

The following season, Monaco was eligible for another EuroLeague season because of their good performance the previous season. They made the playoffs for a second season in a row.

On April 22, 2023, Monaco won its first major trophy when it won its maiden French Basketball Cup with Monaco, after beating ASVEL in the final. Élie Okobo was the cup final's MVP after his 20-point performance. In the same 2022–23 season, Monaco reached new height on the continental level after reaching the 2023 EuroLeague Final Four after beating Maccabi Tel Aviv in the playoffs. They became the third French League club ever to reach the Final Four (after ASVEL and Limoges) and the first to do so in 26 years.

Arena
A.S. Monaco Basket plays its home games at the 3,000 seat Salle Gaston Médecin, which is a part of the Stade Louis II sports complex.

Due to minimum requirements, Monaco was supposed to play its 2021–22 EuroLeague games in the Azur Arena in Antibes. The decision was later overturned, thus the team could play in its usual home arena.

title: Passthrough (electronics)

text:
In signal processing, a passthrough is a logic gate that enables a signal to "pass through" unaltered, sometimes with little alteration.  Sometimes the concept of a "passthrough" can also involve daisy chain logic.

Examples of passthroughs
Analog passthrough (for digital TV)
Sega 32X (passthrough for Sega Genesis video games)
VCRs, DVD recorders, etc. act as a "pass-through" for composite video and S-video, though sometimes they act as an RF modulator for use on Channel 3.
Tape monitor features allow an AV receiver (sometime the recording device itself) to act as a "pass-through" for audio.
An AV receiver usually allows pass-through of the video signal while amplifying the audio signal to drive speakers.

title: Keerthy Suresh

text:
Keerthy Suresh (born 17 October 1992) is an Indian actress who appears predominantly in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films. A recipient of various accolades including a National Film Award, three SIIMA Awards and a Filmfare Award South, Keerthy was placed in Forbes Indias 30 Under 30 list of 2021.

Keerthy is the daughter of film producer G. Suresh Kumar and actress Menaka G. Suresh. She began her career as a child actress in the early 2000s and returned to films after studying fashion design. She had her first lead role in the 2013 Malayalam film Geethaanjali, for which she won SIIMA Award for Best Female Debut – Malayalam.

After winning SIIMA Award for Best Female Debut – Tamil for Idhu Enna Maayam (2015), Keerthy went on to star in successful films such as Ring Master (2014), Nenu Sailaja (2016), Rajinimurugan (2016), Remo (2016), Bairavaa (2017), Nenu Local (2017), Mahanati (2018), Sarkar (2018), Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018), Penguin (2020), Miss India (2021), Good Luck Sakhi (2022) and Sarkaru Vaari Paata (2022). Keerthy received  the Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu nomination for Nenu Sailaja and Mahanati, winning for the latter, which also fetched her the National Film Award for Best Actress.

Early life and background
Keerthy was born on 17 October 1992 in Madras (now Chennai), Tamil Nadu, India. Her father G. Suresh Kumar is a filmmaker of Malayali origin while her mother Menaka is an actress of Tamil origin. She has an elder sister Revathy Suresh. Until class four, Keerthy did her schooling in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. She then studied in Kendriya Vidyalaya, Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram before coming back to Chennai to join the Pearl Academy, where she completed her degree in fashion design. She also spent time on an exchange program in Scotland for four months, before completing a two-month internship in London. Despite making a career in acting, she has stated that she was also "seriously considering a career in designing". Keerthy also knows to play the violin.

Career

Debut as child actress (2000–2005)

In the early 2000s, Keerthy worked as a child actress in a few of her father's productions, such as Pilots (2000), Achaneyanenikkishtam (2001) and Kuberan (2002) and some television serials.

Debut in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu (2013-2017)

11 years after Kuberan, she made her debut as a lead actress in Priyadarshan's horror film Geethaanjali, in which she had a dual role. She was still studying during that time and shot for Geethanjali during her semester break. Reviews on the film and her performance were mixed, with Sify writing that she "does put in some effort but makes only a limited impression in a double role", while Rediff wrote that she "has got a plum role but whether she impresses with her acting prowess is another matter". In 2014, Keerthy had her next release Ring Master, directed by Rafi of Rafi Mecartin duo, in which she shared screen space with Dileep. She played a blind girl, which she said was much more challenging than her double role in Geethanjali. The film was a commercial success, being termed a "super hit" by Sify.

In 2015, Keerthy accepted her first projects outside of Malayalam and signed on to appear in several Tamil film projects simultaneously. Her first film release was A. L. Vijay's romantic comedy Idhu Enna Maayam (2015), opposite Vikram Prabhu, though the film did not perform well at the box office. Her busy schedule throughout 2015 meant that she had to opt out of films which she had already started working on, including Krishna's Maane Thaene Paeye and Deekay's Kavalai Vendam, in order to accommodate bigger projects. She consequently worked on two films with Sivakarthikeyan in quick succession, Rajinimurugan and Remo, while also playing the lead role in Prabhu Solomon's Thodari, alongside Dhanush.

Her Telugu debut was planned to be Ainaa Ishtam Nuvvu. However, the film is delayed since 2015, with reports of release after September 2020 under a new title Janakitho Nenu. Subsequently, the debut was the 2016 film Nenu Sailaja with actor Ram Pothineni. In January 2017, Keerthy appeared in Bairavaa, opposite actor Vijay and directed by Bharathan. She also appeared in Tamil film Paambhu Sattai and Telugu film Nenu Local in 2017.

Mahanati and beyond (2018–present)

title: Mat Madiro

text:
Mathew Madiro (born September 30, 1991) is an American musician. He is the current drummer for From Ashes to New and former drummer of heavy metal band Trivium. He was also the former touring drummer for The Word Alive.

Career
Mathew Madiro played his first Trivium show on May 5, 2014 in Buffalo, NY, as Nick Augusto departed from the band the day before, while the band still was on a co-headlining tour with Volbeat. He had been working for Trivium as a drum technician for 2 years and did not have any experience as a touring musician or recording artist, except for practicing in some amateur local bands. Reportedly, he had only 24 hours to learn all his parts for the upcoming show.

On July 30, 2015 Trivium released a music video for the title track off the upcoming 7th album Silence in the Snow. The video became the second featuring Madiro, with Vengeance Falls "Through Blood and Dirt and Bone" being the first.

On October 24, 2015 Madiro played a show at San Manuel Amphitheater, which later turned out to be his final as a member of Trivium. In December 2015, shortly before Knotfest in Mexico, it was announced that the band had decided to part ways with Madiro on amicable terms. When asked, if he was going to switch back to his previous position as a drum tech in Trivium, he stated that he was not.

In February 2016, he was invited to play with From Ashes to New because their drummer Tim D'Onofrio married and left on honeymoon. Madiro was announced as the band's new drummer for the band on March 12, 2017.

In 2021, he joined The Word Alive as a touring drummer, following the departure of Matt Horn.

title: Flass

text:
Flass, also called Flass House, is a large Grade II* listed house near the village of Maulds Meaburn, Cumbria, England. It was built in the 19th century in the Neo-Palladian style by the tea and opium traders Lancelot and Wilkinson Dent of Dent & Co. It remained in the hands of the Dent family until 1972, when it was sold to the historian Frank Welsh. It was sold again in 1982 to the solicitor Malcolm Whiteside, who temporarily ran the property as a care home. In 2000, the musician Christine Holmes and her husband Paul Davies bought the property. The pair divorced, and, in 2012, it was discovered that the property had been used by a criminal gang for the cultivation of cannabis. Six men, including Davies, were jailed in 2015. Holmes took control of the property, which was sold at auction in 2019.

Architecture
Flass is set in a 15-acre estate in the Eden Valley, near the village of Maulds Meaburn. The house is in Palladian, or Italianate style.  It is built in limestone that is partly rendered, and all is whitewashed; the roofs are slated. The house has an asymmetrical plan, and is in two storeys with attics.  There is a string course between the storeys.  The west (garden) front of the main part of the house is symmetrical, and in four bays.  The lower storeys of the outer bays project forward, have flat roofs, and contain a three-light window on the front and French windows on the sides.  Above each of the projecting bays is another three-light window, over which is a cornice and a small Diocletian window in a pedimented gable, this giving the semblance of a Venetian window.  In the central two bays are casement windows.  At the top of the house is a dentilled cornice and projecting eaves.  The east front contains a Doric porte-cochère, and to the left of this is a three-storey tower. The remainder of the house is two-storey with attics.

On 6 February 1963, the building was designated as a Grade II* listed building.

Construction
Flass was rebuilt in the mid-19th century, apparently incorporating elements of a previous house which likely dated to the 18th century, likely a yeoman farmer's home. It was built for Lancelot and Wilkinson Dent, though construction may have been started by their sister. The Dent brothers were the wealthy owners of Dent & Co., a company trading tea and opium. The process was initially overseen by an architect named Mr Gray, but, around 1854, a Mr G. Mair took over. The Dents' business was based in Hong Kong, and the interiors of the house were originally designed to resemble those of houses at the treaty ports in the East. Luxurious decoration included plasterwork frieze with pearls in the ballroom, marble fireplaces and ivory doorhandles. The house was furnished by the Lancaster-based firm Gillow's, though the Dents also brought furniture from the East.

The name Flass comes from a Middle English word meaning "lake" or "marsh". When the house was originally built, it is likely that the nearby River Lyvennet "took a more aggressive course through the 15-acre grounds".

History
Flass remained in the hands of the Dent family until Sir Robert Dent and Lady Elspeth Dent sold it to the historian Frank Welsh for £17,000 in 1973. Robert Dent, shortly before selling the house, broke into an attic he had not visited. There, he found a number of items, including 16th-century statuettes from the Mughal Empire left behind by his ancestors. These were subsequently sold for £220,000. Welsh attempted to furnish the house in its original style, and many original features, including paintings, remained in the 1990s. Some had been moved, including an antique bed held in the Durham University Museum of Oriental Art.

Flass was purchased from Welsh in 1982 for £115,000 by the retired solicitor Malcolm Whiteside, who ran the property as a care home with his wife, Mary. A change in fire legislation in 1991 meant that this was no longer possible, and the house was put up for sale again; Whiteside still owned the house in the late 1990s, when it was on sale for around £750,000 (1997) or £650,000 (1998). It was sold in 2000 to the musician Christine Holmes and her husband Paul Davies for £490,000. The couple subsequently divorced, with Davies retaining control of Flass.

In the early 2010s, it was available to purchase or rent as "totally private and hidden away, with an unmatched seclusion and charm". However, in 2012, police discovered that a criminal gang had sealed off the rooms of the house to cultivate cannabis. Neighbours became suspicious because of the limited activity in the house and the sound of generators. Police observed and subsequently raided the property, finding equipment, compost, and a large "mother" plant. Six men, including Davies, were jailed for a total of nearly 40 years in 2015.

Holmes took control of the property, spending  £200,000 on renovations, but failing to sell the property at £1,500,000 in 2014. The house became popular with urban explorers, leading to widely viewed videos being posted online and prosecutions for burglary. The house, then derelict, was repossessed by the bank and sold at auction in 2019, with a guide price of £460,000. Renovations are ongoing.

title: Into the Dalek

text:
"Into the Dalek" is the second episode of the eighth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. It was written by Phil Ford and Steven Moffat, and directed by Ben Wheatley, and first broadcast on BBC One on 30 August 2014.

In the episode, the alien time traveller the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) enter the body of a damaged Dalek captured by rebels to determine what is making the usually-hate-filled creature "good".

It was watched by 5.2 million viewers in the UK on its initial transmission, according to unofficial overnight figures, taking a 24.7 per cent share of the entire TV audience and making it the second-highest rated programme of the evening, with the final numbers giving a total of 7.29 million viewers.

Plot
Danny Pink, a former soldier emotionally scarred from his experiences, begins teaching Maths at Coal Hill School in the present. Clara, an English teacher at the school, invites him out for a drink. He agrees. Back at her office, Clara is briefed by the Twelfth Doctor about a damaged Dalek taken aboard the human rebel ship Aristotle in the future that declares its own race must be destroyed. Clara agrees to assist his efforts to help the "good" Dalek, despite the Doctor's contention that Daleks cannot be turned good.

The Doctor, Clara, and three rebel soldiers are miniaturised so they can enter the Dalek—nicknamed "Rusty" by the Doctor—to determine what is making it good. Entering Rusty, they come upon its "cortex vault", which the Doctor describes as Dalek technology designed to suppress any developing compassion within the living mutant inside the shell, as well as store all of its memories. Rusty, speaking to the Doctor, relates the beauty it had witnessed in the galaxy, including the creation of a star. Rusty drew from this that Daleks must be destroyed for wanting to destroy that beauty. The Doctor repairs Rusty's power cell. This unintentionally causes it to revert to its normal thinking pattern.

Rusty contacts the Dalek mothership, which sends other Daleks to destroy the rebel ship. Inside Rusty, Clara convinces the Doctor to reconsider his conviction that Daleks are irreversibly "evil". Inside the cortex vault, Clara awakens Rusty's memory of seeing a star's creation. The Doctor then links his mind to Rusty's consciousness, showing it the beauty of the universe. However, Rusty also assimilates the Doctor's own deep-rooted hatred towards the Daleks. It exterminates its fellow Daleks as they attempt to destroy the rebel ship. After leaving the inside of Rusty, the Doctor is disturbed that Rusty saw only hatred within him; he'd hoped for a "victory" in creating a "good" Dalek. Rusty responds that the Doctor is a good Dalek, while Rusty is not. Rusty sends a retreat signal to the Dalek mothership, causing it to believe the Aristotle has self-destructed.

The Doctor turns down the surviving soldier Journey's offer to travel with him, telling her that he wishes that she was not a soldier. The Doctor returns Clara to her office moments after she left. On leaving, she bumps into Danny, who is glad his being an ex-soldier does not put her off dating him.

Continuity

Scenes from "Dalek" (2005) and "Journey's End" (2008) can be seen in the background as the Doctor 'merges' with Rusty's mind. The Doctor refers to his first encounter with the Daleks on Skaro in The Daleks (1963–64).

Production
Co-writer and executive producer Steven Moffat conceived the idea while discussing possible concepts for a Doctor Who computer game.

The read-through for the episode took place on 17 December 2013, the same day as "Deep Breath".  Filming began on 25 January 2014, and took place at the Uskmouth power station, which had previously served as a location for the 2011 Christmas special, "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe".  Filming also took place in St Athan, Newport, and a hangar outside Cardiff.  Regular filming concluded on 18 February 2014.  The last scene to be filmed was the one featuring Gretchen (Laura dos Santos) and Missy (Michelle Gomez), which was filmed concurrently with the similar scene with Half-Face Man from "Deep Breath" on 23 May 2014. Since Wheatley was unavailable on the date, an uncredited Rachel Talalay directed both scenes; she consulted Wheatley and attempted to incorporate his ideas.

Broadcast and reception

Pre-broadcast leak
As part of the series 8 leaks, both the script and a rough cut of the episode were leaked online from a server in Miami.  Despite the fact that the initial online copy of the episode contained a glitch that prevented downloading, a workable version found its way online by the second week of August 2014.

Promotion
Two clips from the episode were featured alongside an interview with Peter Capaldi on BBC News on 7 August 2014. On 25 August, a ten-second clip was released showing the Doctor's reunion with a lone Dalek.  The same clips were re-released on 27 August in slightly extended form.

Ratings
"Into the Dalek" was watched by 5.2 million viewers in the UK upon its initial transmission, according to unofficial overnight figures, taking a 24.7 per cent share of the entire TV audience and making it the second-highest rated programme of the evening. The episode was watched by 7.29 million people according to the final viewing figures, making it the 2nd most watched programme over the entire week on BBC1 and the 9th most watched over all channels. In the United States, the première airing on BBC America had an audience of 1.22 million viewers, well below the 2.19 million viewers earned on "Deep Breath". The episode received an  Audience Appreciation Index score of 84, considered Excellent.

Critical reception

"Into the Dalek" received largely positive reviews, with the characterization of the Dalek being acclaimed.  Simon Brew of Den of Geek wrote that the episode "stakes one hell of a claim... as a series highlight," and that it was "a really good, really entertaining episode," noting the similarities to 2005's "Dalek". Brew praised the new characterisation for Clara and Capaldi's emergence as the Doctor. The Guardian found the episode to be "better than we might have expected." They singled out the character development of Zawe Ashton's character in such a short period of time, and Ben Wheatley for "evoking a genuine sense of claustrophobic menace." Terry Ramsey of The Daily Telegraph gave the episode four stars out of five, praising Capaldi: "It may be hard to believe in a good Dalek, but after Saturday night it is easy to believe this will be a good Doctor." IGN also praised the episode, particularly Ford and Moffat's  script, stating that it "evolves along with its characters". They ultimately labelled the episode "an entertaining new take on a classic old foe", awarding it 8.4 out of 10.

Neela Debnath of The Independent was positive regarding the episode, calling it "A classic sci-fi adventure with all the spectacle of a blockbuster," while praising the new dynamic between The Doctor and Clara.  Tim Liew of Metro commented, "I rather enjoyed this episode." He was also positive about the character development for Jenna Coleman and noted, "the tight focus on a single enemy makes this the most menacing Dalek episode since 'Dalek'."  Morgan Jeffery of Digital Spy felt the episode was an improvement over the series' opening episode and that it "felt like the proper debut of our new lead." He felt the dynamic between Capaldi and Coleman was very similar to that of Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, and called the episode "smart, stirring and visually spectacular," awarding the episode four stars out of five.

Forbes gave a negative review of the episode, criticising the Daleks' appearance so soon after Capaldi's entrance, saying, "It feels like the BBC have a lack of confidence in the public accepting Capaldi as The Doctor," and the "flawed" concept of the episode.  They were critical of the characterisation of Capaldi's Doctor: "the modern Doctor is not the irascible, self-centred William Hartnell of those early episodes." However, they were positive about the characterisation of Clara and overall said, "Nonetheless, this action-packed second episode made me much more likely to tune in next week than last week’s opener.

title: Hogan Group

text:
The Hogan Group is a collection of six (to eight) islands and islets located in the Bass Strait that define  part of the border between mainland Australia and the island state of Tasmania. Within the jurisdiction of Tasmania, the Hogan Group forms a land border between the states of Tasmania and Victoria. The island group is officially designated unallocated Crown land, within the Flinders Municipality in Tasmania and the South Gippsland Shire in Victoria.

The Hogan Group comprises the Hogan Island, Twin, Long, Round, East, Boundary (or North East) islets, and Seal Rock.

Location and geography
The Hogan Group is located  southeast of Wilsons Promontory in the Bass Strait. The islands are made up of grey and red granite and limestone. A group of fur seals live on Boundary Islet. Other plants and animals that live on and near the island group include Cystophora intermedia, eelgrass, kelp, and abalone.

History
During the Pleistocene period, the Hogan Group was part of a land bridge that connected Tasmania to mainland Australia. After the glacial period ended, the Hogan Group were the first group of islands to become isolated by rising sea levels.

The Hogan Group was discovered by Europeans and named in 1801 by John Black, captain of the brig Harbinger, who named the island group after Michael Hogan, the owner of his ship. There are records of settlers on the island group, who hunted seals and kangaroos and used the islands for grazing land. On 12 October 1900, the first lease was recorded and given for Hogan Island. While the original lease covered the entire island group, since 1959 the lease has only applied to Hogan Island, which has been leased by B.R. Stackhouse since 1967, who uses the island for sheep and cattle grazing.

Black erred in his initial survey, placing the group further north than they actually are, which led to the Victoria-Tasmania land border on Boundary Islet.

title: The Caretaker (Doctor Who)

text:
"The Caretaker" is the sixth episode of the eighth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. It was first broadcast on BBC One on 27 September 2014. The episode was written by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat, and directed by Paul Murphy.

In the episode, the alien time traveller the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) goes under deep cover as the caretaker of Coal Hill School—the work place of his travelling companion Clara (Jenna Coleman)—to stop a world-threatening robot nearby called the Skovox Blitzer (Jimmy Vee). The Doctor also comes into conflict with Clara's boyfriend, former soldier Danny Pink (Samuel Anderson).

The episode was watched by 6.82 million viewers in the UK, and received positive reviews from television critics.

Plot
Clara struggles to balance between the excitement of being the Twelfth Doctor's companion, the normality of teaching at Coal Hill School and keeping her relationship with Danny, a former soldier.

The Doctor alerts Clara he will need to go alone on his next outing under "deep cover", but Clara is surprised the next day that he has been hired as a temporary caretaker. Privately, the Doctor explains that a murderous robot, the Skovox Blitzer, is near the school, and has already killed a community support officer. If he does not intervene, it could destroy the Earth. He has been planting devices around the school to create a time displacement vortex in order to send the robot far into the future where it cannot harm anyone, and has an invisibility watch to help approach it.

Danny observes the Doctor's interactions with Clara and becomes suspicious of him. He inadvertently finds one of the devices the Doctor has planted and interferes with its settings. When the Doctor attempts to carry out his plan, Danny's change causes the Blitzer to only be displaced forward by 74 hours. After seeing the Doctor again approach Clara discussing this change in plan, Danny accosts Clara, believing she is an alien, during which Clara admits her love for Danny. The Doctor argues Clara has made a "boyfriend error" for dating Danny. Clara lets Danny use the invisibility watch to see how she interacts with the Doctor. However, the Doctor is aware of Danny's presence, and Danny compares the Doctor to an officer before leaving. Meanwhile, student Courtney Woods has come across the Doctor's TARDIS and starts following him around.

At Parents' Evening, the Blitzer rematerialises earlier than expected. The Doctor and Clara inadvertently trigger the Blitzer's self-destruct mechanism, but Danny's timely intervention allows them to force it to stand down. The Doctor offers Courtney a trip in the TARDIS as he leaves the inactive Blitzer in deep space, but Courtney ends up getting sick and throwing up within the TARDIS. On Earth, Danny tells Clara he is impressed with her resolve under the Doctor but not to let him push her too far, or otherwise their relationship will be over.

Meanwhile, the community support officer awakens in the Promised Land, also known as the Nethersphere. The interviewer, Seb, informs him of his death and their whereabouts, and states that Missy is too busy to deal with him.

Continuity
The pseudonym "John Smith" has been used by the Doctor multiple times throughout the show, starting in The Wheel in Space (1968).

The Doctor mentions River Song, who last appeared in "The Name of the Doctor" (2013).

Production
The read through for "The Caretaker" took place on 20 March 2014. Filming began soon afterwards, on 24 March 2014 at Bute Street and Lloyd George Avenue in Cardiff.  Filming continued at The Maltings in Cardiff Bay and the former St Illtyd's Boys' College, Splott on 4 April 2014.  Scenes were also filmed at Holton Primary School in Barry on 5 April 2014, and at Tonyrefail Comprehensive School, located in the South Wales valleys, on 8 April 2014. Principal photography was concluded on 11 April 2014; the final scene with Seb (portrayed by Chris Addison) was shot on 11 June 2014.

Broadcast and reception

Broadcast
Overnight viewing figures showed an audience of 4.89 million. The episode was watched by a total of 6.82 million viewers. In the United States, the episode earned 0.96 million viewers. The episode received an Appreciation Index score of 83.

Critical reception

The episode received positive reviews. Richard Beech of Daily Mirror gave the episode 4 stars out of 5, calling it "funny, lighthearted, and thoroughly entertaining," and praised Capaldi's comic timing. Ceri Radford of The Daily Telegraph also gave it 4 stars out of 5 and praised Capaldi's performance. Simon Brew of Den of Geek called it "arguably one of the best [of series 8]." He too praised the comedic elements of the episode, and praised Roberts' storytelling skills. He praised Coleman and Anderson, calling them "excellent," and saying it was their "best performance of the series." Morgan Jeffery of Digital Spy gave the episode a positive review, calling it "Funny, warm and moving." However they were critical of the threat of the Blitzer. They praised Capaldi and his interpretation of the Doctor, calling it the "most complex and variable take on the Time Lord we've seen since Eccleston's." He gave it 4 stars out of 5.

Matt Risley of IGN gave the episode a positive review, praising the characterisation of Clara in the current series. He called The Caretaker "satisfying despite the occasional slip into soap opera silliness." He praised the acting of the three leads, but he too criticised the Blitzer, calling it "a design evoking the lovechild of a pew-pewing Jetsons maid knock-off and a Roomba gone haywire." Overall, he gave the episode 7.9 out of 10 (Good), saying "'The Caretaker' was emotionally engaging with dynamic dialogue," and called it a "Who win." Neela Debnath of The Independent gave the episode a negative review, calling it "A bland Earth-based adventure that failed to excite." However she did praise Ellis George, calling her "a star in the making," and her inclusion in the episode as "great."

title: James of Lausanne

text:
James of Lausanne (died 1321) was the superior of the Dominican order in France from 1318 until his death in 1321.

Nothing is known of James's life before his entrance into the Dominican priory at Lausanne in Switzerland and his assignment to theological studies in Paris in 1303. James earned his master's degree in theology in 1317 and was elected superior of the Dominican Province of France in 1318, a position he held until his death in 1321.
In the course of his short academic career, James authored commentaries on multiple books of the Old and New Testaments and produced some 1,500 sermons. His oeuvre has yet to be critically edited, although numerous manuscripts and several early modern printed editions are still extant. James was a disciple of Peter Paludanus and wrote on original sin, arguing against Durandus of Saint-Pourçain that original sin was privation of original justice.

title: Antonio Leonviola

text:
Antonio Leonviola, sometimes Leon Viola (1913–1995), was an Italian screenwriter and film director and co-founder of the "Libera Università del Cinema di Roma".

Life and career

Leonviola was born in 1913 in Montagnana as Antonio Leone Viola. In 1934, he won a gold medal at the Venice Film Festival for his silent film Fiera di tipi, which he shot at a fair in Padua. He worked as war photographer during World War II, an experience that he reflected in a few short films including La battaglia dell'Amba Alagi and La marcia degli eroi.

After the war, Leonviola worked as a screenwriter in a number of adventure films and in 1942 directed his first feature film, Rita da Cascia. After a long break, he returned as director in 1951 with a crime film, The Temptress, which was celebrated by critics.

The success did not hold, and his next films were all more or less battered by the critics. There followed the costume film Sul ponte dei sospiri, Noi cannibali (a story of social discrimination), a remake of his earlier Rita da Cascia entitled Il suo amore più grande, and Angel in a Taxi.

Human Torpedoes, a war film credited to Leonviola, was for the large part directed by Carlo Lizzani, who, however, did not want his name in the credits.

In 1961, Leonviola switched to mythological peplum, directing Atlas in the Land of the Cyclops (starring Gordon Mitchell) followed by Mole Men Against the Son of Hercules (starring Mark Forest) the same year. Two years later, in 1963, Leonviola directed another two peplum films both starring Joe Robinson as "Taur" (in the English version: "Thor", in the German: "Taurus"): Thor and the Amazon Women and Taur, il re della forza bruta. Finally, in 1967, after a break of 4 years, Leonviola returned one last time to direct the caper film I giovani tigri starring Helmut Berger.

Leonviola continued to work as screenwriter. In 1968, his novel La virtù sdraiata was published under his jumbled birth name "Leone Antonio Viola". It was adapted for Sidney Lumet's film The Appointment (1969).

He was married to director, screenwriter and artist Sofia Scandurra, with whom he founded the "Libera Università del Cinema di Roma" for actors and directors in San Cesareo in 1983. Further co-founders were Cesare Zavattini and Alessandro Blasetti.

Leonviola died on 4 August 1995.

Professional career
Havrilla spent multiple years in the Indoor Football League (IFL), catching on with several teams while playing quarterback, safety and placekicker. In 2014, he began the season with the Dodge City Law before signing with the Arena Football League's Spokane Shock. After three weeks on the Shock's practice squad, Havrilla returned to the Law.

title: Sannhet

text:
Sannhet (Norwegian for "truth") is an American experimental metal band from Brooklyn, New York, United States. The band formed in 2010 by John Refano, Christopher Todd, and AJ Annunziata. They have released three full-length albums as well as a variety of EPs and singles which were collected together and released in their 2016 compilation album Young Death. Sannhet has become known for their elaborate live shows which combine their "dense" sound with lights, projected visualizations and rhythm-synced strobes. They are an instrumental band with a sound that combines black metal, sludge metal, and shoegaze with the structures and orders of post-rock and post-punk, though unlike other bands with similar influences, they tend to favor shorter song structures.

History
The band released their debut album Known Flood on February 19, 2013, through Sacrament, an imprint owned by staff at the Saint Vitus bar. The album has been described as "pristine post-rock with dirty noise and hardcore, and it wouldn't be wrong to affix the word "blackened" to the overall sound." Pitchfork's Grayson Currin gave the album a positive review, writing that "each of the longer numbers roll several themes and transitions into a relatively compact framework, again avoiding boredom by a bustle of activity. “Slow Ruin,” one of two that makes it past seven minutes, volleys from field recordings to Touch and Go throb, from post-millennial blackened grandeur to an expansive noise fadeaway." On October 14 they released a music video for the track 'Slow Ruin' directed by Aj Annunziata. On November 12 they released a two-track EP 'Lions Eye', described as funneling "both brawn and versatility into likably finite spaces."

The band released their second album Revisionist on March 3, 2015, through The Flenser. A number of tracks including "Lost Crown" were premiered on music websites in advance of the album's release. The album was received well, with positive reviews and coverage by Pitchfork, Stereogum, MetalSucks, Metal Injection, and more. Critics noted the experimental, diverse sound of the album, such as the "pummeling black-metal drums", "tense rhythmic lock of death metal", and the "astral ascendance of space-rock." Pitchfork's editor Brandon Stosuy named it the 10th best metal album of 2015, while Jayson Greene nominated it as one of the most overlooked albums of 2015 and Ian Cohen named the title track 'Best New Track'. In a review of Revisionist, the New York Times described the album as "many layers of guitar [forming] dissonant harmonies; sections grow and vary, never fully returning to where they started. Sometimes they are abstract, with found-sound voice recordings and clouds of echo. They’re also easy to follow, emotionally clear." On April 18 the band performed alongside Prurient, Andy Stott and others as part of Pitchfork's Tinnitus Music Series in Brooklyn, New York.

On June 30, 2016, the band released a compilation album titled Young Death, drawing together and remastering rare early material and unreleased material spanning from 2008 to 2013. It was released digitally by the band themselves while Hospital Productions issued the album on vinyl. Later that same year, the band released the single 'Short Life' as part of Adult Swim's 2016 Singles compilation series, confirming that they are working on a third album. Pitchfork wrote that "the four-minute track bears a fresh coat of corpse paint, teeming with pulverizing blast beats and tremolo guitars that wail like professional mourners." Stereogum described it as "a scorching four-minute instrumental, with a focus on speed-picking doused in reverb and an impressive, anchoring drum pattern."

title: James River Park System

text:
The James River Parks System (also known as James River Park or simply JRPS) is a  municipal park in Richmond, Virginia. It consists of multiple sections along the James River between the Huguenot Memorial Bridge in the west to a half mile (0.8 km) beyond the I-95 Bridge over the James in the east. It is a part of the city’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities.

History
JRPS was formed by the City of Richmond in 1972 from a number of private properties that had been donated.

First Land Donation
The first property donated was a 380-acre tract obtained and donated to the city in 1966 by scout leader Charles Joseph “Joe” Schaefer. Schaefer had tried in vain to seek permission for his scouts to camp on a James River Island in 1965, and in the process, he and his former VMI roommate sought to find and secure a two-mile tract of river property to donate to the city as a public park.

Creation of the JRPS in 1972
Ralph White, a former Peace Corps volunteer and National Park Service employee, was hired by the City of Richmond in 1980 as one of several JRPS employees. At the time the river was not in very good condition, owing to littering and years of industrial use of the river White eventually became the manager of JRPS and spent a 32-year career with the city of Richmond, transforming JRPS through advocacy and engaging community groups in volunteer cleanups. In December 2012, White retired and was replaced by Nathan Burrell.

2009 Conservation Easement
In May 2009, a conservation easement was placed on parcels of the James River Park System. The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, the Capitol Region Land Conservancy and the EnRichmond Foundation (formerly the Richmond Recreation and Parks Foundation) are the conservation easement holders.  This open space and conservation easement, in general, restricts all future development in each parcel, although it does allow for regular maintenance and replacement in kind by the City of Richmond’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities

Sections
The number of sections of the park have expanded over time. Some sources say there are currently 19 sections. From west to east, sections include the following areas:
 Huguenot Flatwater
This connects to the stretch of the James that runs from Bosher's Dam in the west to Z Dam in the east. It is a perfect place for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. Nash's Island and Channing's Island, just below Bosher's and just above the Willey Bridge, are good spots to beach and chill. A sandy beach is opposite the Flatwater put in. Other islands are just above Z Dam. The fish ladder in Z Dam is a perfect place for kayaking and for paddle board surfing when the river is high.
Pony Pasture Rapids
The Wetlands
 Main Area (includes 43rd St., Buttermilk Trail, Reedy Creek Park Headquarters, and 22nd St. with pedestrian access to Belle Isle.
Manchester Climbing Wall
Ancarrow's Landing/Manchester Docks
Pumphouse Park and North Bank Trailhead near Byrd Park
 Texas Beach/North Bank Trail near Maymont park
 Access to Belle Isle via the Belle Isle Pedestrian Bridge
 Tredegar St. Put-In
