title: Edward "Smitty" Smith

text:
Edward H. "Smitty" Smith II (born 1980) is an American lawyer. He was a candidate for Attorney General of the District of Columbia in the  2014 election and a former adviser to the FCC.

Early life and education
Smith was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in the working-class neighborhoods of Congress Heights and LeDroit Park. His family moved to the District of Columbia in 1943 and he is the third generation to live there. His father taught physics at Ballou High School and his mother worked in the federal government.

After winning scholarships to attend the Beauvoir School and the Potomac School, Smith earned a Bachelor's degree with honors from Brown University, where he was captain of the track team, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School.

Career
Smith began his legal career as an associate attorney at the Washington, D.C. law firm Hogan & Hartson. After several years with the firm, he left to work on Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. After the election, he was named Deputy General Counsel of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, and then joined the Department of Commerce, where he worked on the economic development of low-income communities.

At the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Smith was named Program Director of the State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program. Under his leadership, and with funds allocated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the SBDDGP established the $4.7 billion Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, which extended and developed broadband services to reach rural and underserved areas, improved broadband access for public safety agencies, and provided financial assistance to low-income families to facilitate the transition from analog to digital television.

Smith later joined the FCC, where he was appointed Chief of Staff and Senior Counsel of the Incentive Auction Task Force, a multibillion-dollar radio spectrum allocation project assessing whether to set bidding limits on Verizon and AT&T, ensuring that the wavelengths at auction remained reserved for smaller carriers. On May 15, 2014, he spoke before an open meeting of the FCC in favor of bidding limits, and the Commissioners subsequently voted 3-2 in favor of the limits.

Following his campaign for Attorney General, Smith joined DC government to run the District of Columbia's Justice Grants Administration.
 He then rejoined the FCC as an advisor before joining the law firm DLA Piper, where he won an award for his work representing T-Mobile.

He works with DC Vote, an organization that advocates for D.C. voting rights, and he sits on the Board of Directors of the We the People Project, which pursues litigation in support of “full and equal citizenship” for residents of D.C. and U.S. territories.

Campaign for Attorney General
On July 12, 2014, Smith announced his candidacy for D.C. Attorney General at the former home of his grandmother in Washington, D.C.'s Shaw neighborhood.

Smith emphasized the need for reform of D.C.'s juvenile justice system. He saw the Attorney General's role as “cooperative” with the Council of the District of Columbia, and has expressed disagreement with sitting Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan's contention that the 2012 budget autonomy act approved by the Council violates the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

On August 6, the campaign submitted 6,500 petition signatures, more than double the 3,000 required to get Smith's name on the ballot. Shortly before Smith's campaign finance report was released on August 11, he announced he had raised over $185,000 during the first fundraising quarter of the campaign, including more from outside donors than all other Attorney General candidates combined (Karl Racine raised nearly $257,000, but he donated or loaned $225,000 of that total to his own campaign). According to the finance report, Smith's campaign paid a company owned by Jauhar Abraham for petition signature collection.

In an interview at the hearing for S.132, the New Columbia Admission Act, Smith told an interviewer at The Atlantic that “as Americans, under no conditions should issues of political convenience or expedience dictate fundamental rights. The fact that [D.C. statehood] might prove politically inconvenient for either party is not a just reason for continuing to deny citizens those rights.”

A mid-October poll conducted by local NPR affiliate WAMU and the Washington City Paper showed Smith tied for second place with Lorie Masters and Paul Zukerberg behind Karl Racine, although a large plurality remained undecided. According to the City Paper, Smith's campaign tried to persuade two of his rivals, Lorie Masters and Paul Zukerberg, to drop out of the race in order to “[consolidate] the anti-Racine vote,” but both rivals declined.

Smith came second in the election for Attorney General, polling 21.12% of the vote. The winner, Karl Racine, polled 40.65%.

title: Nederluleå Church

text:
Nederluleå Church () is a medieval Church of Sweden parish church in Gammelstaden near Luleå in Norrbotten County, Sweden. It belongs to the Diocese of Luleå. The church is the largest medieval church in the Swedish land of Norrland. It forms a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Gammelstad Church Town.

History

The presently visible stone church was probably preceded by a wooden chapel. Construction of the stone church started in the 15th century and continued into the early 16th century. The church was however inaugurated already in 1492, by Jakob Ulvsson, Archbishop of Uppsala. Arrowslits preserved in the church indicate that apart from its religious use, it also served a defensive purpose. The church remained largely unchanged until the 18th century. In 1745 the medieval frescos were painted over, and during the same decade the windows were enlarged. In 1776-78 the church was painted red, externally, a new entrance was made and more windows added. In 1848 the windows were altered, again. Successive changes to the interior, with old furnishings removed and new added, have also been carried out since the 18th century. During a renovation in 1909 the medieval frescos were uncovered again and the choir portal regained its original appearance, which had been altered during the 18th century. Additional renovations have been carried out in 1936, 1954 and 1969–71. The free-standing bell tower dates from 1851 and replaced an earlier, wooden bell tower. The two bells date from 1554 and 1684, but have both been re-cast in later times.

Scenes from television series En hederlig jul med Knyckertz were filmed in the church.

Architecture

The church is built of fieldstone (consisting of about 40 types of rock), with details made of brick. The roof is made of shake, as was the original roof. The church is surrounded by a wall in which two lychgates are preserved.

Inside, the church is a vaulted single-nave church with a choir of the same height as the nave. A sacristy protrudes from the northern façade, and a church porch from the southern. The vaults are decorated with frescos, probably made by a pupil of Albertus Pictor.

Among the church furnishings, the altarpiece is the most noteworthy. It dates from circa 1520 and was made in Antwerp. Its central part contains intricately carved figures depicting the Passion of Christ. The altarpiece is one of the finest of its kind in Sweden. The congregation is supposed to have paid the sum of 900 silver marks, in cash, for the altarpiece – a great sum for the mostly peasant congregation. Among other furnishings, the triumphal cross and the marble baptismal font date from the late Middle Ages. The richly carved pulpit dates from 1712. Some of the pews are medieval, while some were at least elaborated in 1749. The organ dates from 1971.

title: Gutierritos

text:
Gutierritos is the second telenovela produced in Mexico by Valentín Pimstein in 1958 for Telesistema Mexicano.

With an original script by Estella Calderón and directed and starred by Rafael Banquells besides Maria Teresa Rivas and Mauricio Garcés, Gutierritos is about a humble man abused by his family, friends, and co-workers.

Plot
Ángel Gutiérrez is a kind, friendly, and very shy office employee who works hard for his family. His wife Rosa, who treats him very badly and humiliates him all the time, despises him for being "so pathetic", having only married him because she felt it was her last opportunity to do so, fearing growing old alone. Their children, Julio César and Lucrecia, do not respect their father either, after years of seeing their mother constantly mistreating him and calling him "a pathetic, good for nothing".

At the office, everyone teases Ángel, including his boss Mr. Martinez who, after hearing Ángel's wife always asking for "Gutierritos" whenever she calls at the office, also starts calling him that, causing the other employees to catch on. Angel's only moral support at work is his friend Jorge, for whom Rosa has always felt an unrequited love. Ángel confides his biggest secret to Jorge: his passion for writing. Along the way, Mr. Martínez hires Elena, a somewhat shy and insecure, but very beautiful young woman.

Ángel secretly writes a book, "The Memories of Mr. Gutiérrez", in which he expresses his true feelings and desires. He shows it to his friend and, impressed by its quality, Jorge convinces Ángel to publish it. Angel accepts, under the condition that it is published under the pseudonym of "Mr. Gutiérrez". The book becomes a bestseller and earns Ángel good profits, so he quits his job. Seeing his friend's confidence outburst, Jorge follows and does so as well, calling their former boss "Martinitos". Ángel intends to establish a library, with Jorge as his partner; however, Ángel claims that the business is Jorge's, and that he is being hired as his assistant. Jorge and Elena fall in love with one another and eventually they get married. One day, Elena finds some of the original writings and assumes that Jorge is the author, Mr. Gutiérrez. Awed by "Jorge's talent", a dinner is hosted in his honor. Friends that Ángel has secretly been helping praise and thank Jorge, accuse him of being jealous of his friend's success, while Rosa berates and humiliates Ángel more than ever.

While initially reluctantly, Jorge, growing tired of Ángel's cowardice, does not clear up the misunderstanding and continues to enjoy the fame, the success and Elena's love. After enduring so much humiliation and suffering the progressive loss of his friend, his book, his family and his dignity, Ángel finally explodes and tries to tell the truth, but no one believes him.

title: Marselisborg

text:
Marselisborg is a small borough of Aarhus, Denmark. Being small and situated just south of Frederiksbjerg, Marselisborg is often considered part of Frederiksbjerg.

History
Like most of the boroughs outside the inner city of Aarhus, Marselisborg is a relatively new neighbourhood and got its name from the Marselisborg Manor, when the city council of Aarhus acquired the estate from the Marselis family in 1896. The Marselisborg Manor accidentally burned down soon after, and was replaced by the Marselisborg Gymnasium in 1911. The majority of the buildings in Marselisborg are from the early part of the 1900s and the borough is one of the most affluent areas in Aarhus Municipality, presenting large villas and mansions. Marselisborg means Marselis-castle, a name invented for the Marselisborg Manor by Constantin Marselis, to replace the older name of Havreballegård.

Overview
Placed in the northern outskirts of the Marselisborg Forests, Marselisborg is both close to nature and has several buildings and highlights, that attracts people from all over Aarhus. The large event venue of Tangkrogen at the Bay of Aarhus, hosts several major events throughout the year and the adjacent Marselisborg Yacht Harbour, attracts many tourists in the summer.

In addition, these facilities should be highlighted:
 Mindeparken
 Marselisborg Palace
 Marselisborg Yacht Harbour
 Tivoli Friheden
 Atletion stadium
 Jutland Racecourse (for horse riding)

P80 is a solid-fuel first-stage rocket motor used on the European Space Agency Vega rocket (in the P80FW version). It was the world's largest and most powerful one-piece solid-fuel rocket engine, being replaced by the P120C on 13th July, 2022.

History
The P80's development was led by a joint team of ESA, CNES and ASI since 2005, with Avio selected as the prime contractor. The first test of the P80 engine was completed at Centre Spatial Guyanais in November 2006 followed by qualification tests in December 2007. The first launch was completed on 13 February 2012, with the first commercial launch following on 7 May 2012. Total development cost of the engine reached €76 million.

Overview
P80FW is a single monolithic solid rocket motor propelled by hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene which burns for 114 seconds and is jettisoned at an altitude of 53 km after achieving a relative speed of 1.7 km/s.

The engine shares specifications with Ariane 5 solid rocket boosters - it has the same 3 meter diameter and similar height to the largest segments of the booster. This allows using the same facilities and equipment at the Guiana Propellant Plant for loading the propellant and transporting the engine to the launch site. The nozzle of the P80 is also a direct evolution of the one used in Ariane 5 boosters.

The manufacture process is divided among several European companies. Italian Avio manufactures the main motor case loaded with fuel, performs integration of the components, and final testing. French-Italian Europropulsion manufactures the P80 motor while Regulus performs propellant loading. Aerospace Propulsion Products B.V. from Netherlands builds the igniter. Belgian SABCA produces components for thrust vectoring and the staging skirt. French Herakles manufactures the engine nozzle.

Related development

P120C
The P120C a wider version of the engine with increased propellant mass to 143.6 tons, is in development for use as Ariane 6 boosters and Vega C first stage. In 2022, an extended P120C+ version was proposed.

Release
The New Girlfriend premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival on 6 September. The film was later screened at the San Sebastián Film Festival on 20 September 2014, where it won the Sebastiane Award. The jury commented, "[Ozon] calls into question the labels and roles of masculinity and femininity" and the jury "appreciates the contribution of this film to move towards a personal liberation, that could reaffirm the identity of every person". The film was also presented at the Zurich Film Festival on 2 October and the London Film Festival on 11 October. It was released theatrically in France on 5 November 2014 by Mars Distribution and in the United States on 18 September 2015 by Cohen Media Group.

Critical response
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 80% based on 84 reviews, with an average score of 6.8 out of 10. The website's critics consensus reads, "While flirting with camp, François Ozon's The New Girlfriend offers thoughtful – and humorous – commentary on sexual and gender identity." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 74 out of 100 from 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney expressed his compliments on The New Girlfriend: "a delectable riff on transformation, desire and sexuality that blends the heightened reality of melodrama with mischievous humor and an understated strain of Hitchcockian suspense". At Variety, Justin Chang said, "even as [Ozon] heads down any number of tantalizing if borderline-nonsensical alleyways, Ozon maintains his diabolical wit, his infectious sense of play and his essential affection for his characters" and the film was "powered by beautifully controlled performances from Anaïs Demoustier and Romain Duris".

Soundtrack

The soundtrack of The New Girlfriend was released on November 3, 2014. The song "Hot n Cold" by Katy Perry is played in the film but it is not available in the official soundtrack.

title: Kesagami River

text:
The Kesagami River is a river in northern Cochrane District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is part of the James Bay drainage basin, and is a left tributary of the Harricana River. The lower two-thirds of the river, from about Kesagami Lake and downstream for  to its mouth, are part of Kesagami Provincial Park.

Geography
The river begins at an unnamed lake in the Abitibi Uplands just west of Ontario Highway 652 and flows north to the large Kesagami Lake. It exits the lake at the northeast, continues north and descends rapidly to the James Bay Lowlands, where it takes in several tributaries before reaching its mouth at the Harricana River, just upstream of that river's mouth at James Bay.

From Kesagami Lake downstream, the river can be traversed as a canoe route. Since the river drops  over  to its mouth, whitewater canoeing is challenging, and extreme during spring conditions.

The entire course of the Kesagami River lies within the Hudson (James) Bay Lowland and, like all other streams in that region, it flows with a swift current in a channel cut through the marine clay deposits overlying limestone rocks of Paleozoic age. The banks are generally steep. The thickness of the overburden diminishes as the river nears its mouth, and in places it flows over beds of horizontal limestone. The Kesagami has few tributaries, and these are small because of the impervious nature of the clay through which they run.

The greater part of its course, which is generally in a north-northeast direction, is through a muskeg country with mostly dwarf black spruce and tamarack trees. Second-growth timber consists chiefly of Banksian pine, poplar, and birch. Owing to the amount of moisture in the ground, trees in this region do not attain a greater average height than about , and have a maximum diameter of  in a growing period of between 100 and 150 years.

title: Thomas Röhler

text:
Thomas Röhler (born 30 September 1991) is a German track and field athlete who competes in the javelin throw. He is the 2016 Olympic Champion and 2018 European Champion. His personal best of 93.90 m for the event ranks him third on the overall list.

Career
Röhler began taking part in track and field as a child in 1998. Raised in Jena, he attended the Johann Christoph Friedrich GutsMuths Sports High school in the city and went on to study at the University of Jena. He first competed mainly as a high jumper and a triple jumper. He began to make his impact as a junior (under-20) athlete in the javelin throw in 2010. That year he threw beyond seventy metres for the first time and represented his country at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics, where he finished in ninth place. He ended that year with a personal best throw of  to place second at the German junior championships. The following year he improved to  – a throw which brought him seventh place at the 2011 European Athletics U23 Championships.

He established himself as a senior athlete in 2012. He cleared eighty metres for the first time at a meeting in Sankt Wendel, getting a mark of , which ranked him 54th in the world that year. More crucial was his first national title win at the 2012 German Athletics Championships, where he defeated the more experienced Tino Häber. His personal best was not sufficient for entry to the 2012 London Olympics, but he was selected for the 2012 European Athletics Championships. On his senior debut for Germany, he placed 13th in javelin qualifying, equalling the mark of finalist Gabriel Wallin, but missing out due to having a shorter second throw.

The 2013 season saw him achieve his first international medals and he consistently threw beyond eighty metres in competition. At the 2013 European Cup Winter Throwing in March, he was the runner-up behind Latvia's Zigismunds Sirmais. At the end of May, he threw  at a meeting in Dessau – a performance that placed him 16th in the world that season. On his debut on the 2013 IAAF Diamond League circuit, he placed top three at the Bislett Games. He was the silver medallist at the 2013 European Team Championships and retained his national title at the 2013 German Athletics Championships. In a high-quality competition at the 2013 European Athletics U23 Championships, he came third behind Sirmais and German teammate Bernhard Seifert. Röhler was chosen to compete for Germany at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics and on his global senior debut he did not perform well, having his worst competition of the year and failing to better 75 metres. He ended the year with a seventh-place finish at the Memorial Van Damme Diamond League meet.

He and Latvian rival Sirmais repeated their placings at the 2014 European Cup Winter Throwing, the German again finishing second. He made regular appearances on the 2014 IAAF Diamond League circuit: he was fifth at the Prefontaine Classic and Bislett Games, then threw a best of  for third at the Meeting Areva in Paris. He improved this further at the Glasgow Grand Prix, throwing the javelin  to take a surprise victory over reigning world champion Vítězslav Veselý.

At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, he won the gold medal with a throw of 90.30 m, narrowly missing the Olympic record of 90.57 m set by Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. At the 2017 IAAF World Championships, he finished fourth with a throw of 88.26 m, six centimetres behind third place.

In July 2018, he won silver at the 2018 German Athletics Championships, with a throw of 88.09 m. In August, he won gold at the 2018 European Athletics Championships with a throw of 89.47 m. He won another gold medal in September, at the 2018 IAAF Continental Cup, with an 87.07 m throw.

At the 2019 World Athletics Championships, Röhler, with a best throw at 79.23 m, did not progress from the qualifying round.

title: Gualterus Gysaerts

text:
Wouter Gysaerts or Gualterus Gysaerts (1649 – in or after 1677) was a Flemish still life painter who specialized in flower pieces and garlands.

Life
Gualterus Gysaerts was born in Antwerp as the nephew (or maybe the cousin) of David Teniers the Younger.  He was a pupil of Philip Fruytiers.  He became a master in the local Guild of Saint Luke in 1670.  He moved to Mechelen in 1674 where he joined the local order of the Friars Minor called the Recollects.  On becoming a monk he changed his first name from Wouter to Gualterus.  He died in Mechelen in or after 1677.

Work
He mainly painted still lifes of flowers in vases and paintings with garlands in the style of the Flemish monk painter Daniel Seghers.  He generally signed with F.G. Gysaerts and later with F.G. Gysaerts Min.F.

Gysaerts collaborated with other painters particularly in the production of garland paintings.  Garland paintings are a special type of still life developed in Antwerp by artists such as Jan Brueghel the Elder, Hendrick van Balen, Frans Francken the Younger, Peter Paul Rubens and Daniel Seghers. They typically show a flower garland around a devotional image or portrait.  Garland paintings were usually collaborations between a still life and a figure painter. In 1676 Gualterus Gysaerts collaborated with his uncle David Teniers the Younger on a series of 19 garland paintings depicting the martyrs of Gorkum.  The series was made for the Minorite Church in Mechelen following the beatification of the martyrs on 9 July 1676.  Teniers painted the monochrome bust portrait of each martyr in a cartouche while Gysaerts painted the cartouche and the flower garland surrounding it.   Of these paintings, 8 are still known to exist, one of which is in the Rijksmuseum.  Both Gysaerts and Teniers signed the painting in the Rijksmuseum.

title: 2015 Kentucky elections

text:
A general election was held in the U.S. state of Kentucky on November 3, 2015. All of Kentucky's executive officers were up for election. Primary elections were held on May 19, 2015.

Governor and Lieutenant Governor

Incumbent Democratic Governor Steve Beshear was term-limited and could not run for re-election to a third term in office.

In Kentucky, gubernatorial candidates pick their own running mates and they are elected on shared tickets in both the primary and general elections.

The candidates for the Democratic nomination were Attorney General of Kentucky Jack Conway and his running mate State Representative Sannie Overly; and retired engineer and 2014 Congressional candidate Geoff Young and his running mate Jonathan Masters. Conway and Overly easily defeated Young and Masters in the primary election for the Democratic Party nomination.

For the Republicans, businessman and candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2014 Matt Bevin ran on a ticket with Tea Party activist and 2014 State House candidate Jenean Hampton; Agriculture Commissioner of Kentucky James Comer ran on a ticket with State Senator Christian McDaniel; former Louisville Metro Councilman and nominee for Mayor of Louisville in 2010 Hal Heiner ran on a ticket with former Lexington-Fayette Urban County Councilwoman and nominee for Kentucky State Treasurer in 2011 K.C. Crosbie; and former Associate Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court Will T. Scott ran on a ticket with former Menifee County Sheriff Rodney Coffey. Bevin held an 83-vote lead over Comer in the primary election, with both Heiner and Scott conceding. The Associated Press, referring to the race between Bevin and Comer a "virtual tie", did not call the race in favor of either candidate. In addition, Comer refused to concede and stated that he would ask for a recanvass. The request for recanvass was filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State's office on May 20, 2015 with Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes ordering the recanvass to occur at 9:00 a.m. local time on May 28, 2015. Upon completion of the recanvass, Grimes announced that Bevin remained 83 votes ahead of Comer. Grimes also stated that should Comer want a full recount, it would require a court order from the Franklin Circuit Court. On May 29, Comer announced he would not request a recount and conceded the nomination to Bevin.

Results

Attorney general

Incumbent Democratic attorney general Jack Conway was term-limited and could not run for re-election to a third term in office. He instead ran for governor.

The candidate that would go on to be elected Attorney General was Andy Beshear, the son of retiring governor Steve Beshear.

In 2016, Steve Beshear's former personal cabinet secretary, Tim Longmeyer, was marred in controversy when he was exposed on bribery charges, including redirecting $6,000 of kickbacks into Andy Beshear's Attorney General campaign. Andy Beshear had recently hired Longmeyer as a deputy. However, the prosecutors in Longmeyer's case indicated that there is no evidence to support that Andy Beshear knew what Longmeyer was doing.

Over the next three years, Republican Governor Matt Bevin spearheaded an investigation into former governor Steve Beshear's administration as well as Andy Beshear's Attorney General campaign. Spending approximately $550,000 leading up to the 2019 Kentucky gubernatorial election, the investigation led to no conclusive results regarding the culpability of Steve or Andy Beshear.

Beshear defeated Republican Whitney Westerfield by a margin of 0.2 percent, getting 50.1% of the vote to Westerfield's 49.9%. The margin was approximately 2,000 votes.

The life and opinions of Maximilien Robespierre is a 1974 book written by the historian Norman Hampson and published by Gerald Duckworth and Company.

Content
The work is an unorthodox piece of historical writing since it explores the character and life of Maximilien Robespierre via a conversation between four imagined characters, all of whom represent facets of Hampson's own mind. The effect of this structure is to make it clear that it is difficult for Hampson to draw clear or firm conclusions about such a complex historical figure as Robespierre. This is a way of showing uncertainty and a multi-faceted perspective on such an enigmatic figure as Robespierre that is markedly different from the approach taken by most historians towards their subject-matter when writing biographies.

In contrast to his dismissal of figures such as Jean-Paul Marat or Louis Antoine de Saint-Just, whom he see as lacking humanity let alone reasonable political motivations, Hampson grants Robespierre the existence of a 'potential humanity'. In particular, Hampson's ambivalence towards Robespierre is the result of the conflict between the apparent purity and integrity of Robespierre's principles on the one hand and his espousal of violent political tactics on the other. This tension has been a hallmark of much of the subsequent historiography relating to him, with many biographers being emphatically 'for' or 'against' him in ways that have tended to limit nuanced and complex representations of the man, his aims, and his actions.

title: Ignatius Abraham bar Gharib

text:
Ignatius Abraham bar Gharib (, ) was the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Mardin from 1381 or 1382 until his death in 1412.

Biography
Abraham was the son of Quryaqos, son of Gharīb of Amid, and had a brother named Joseph, who would later become metropolitan bishop of Amid. He became a monk at the monastery of Saint Ananias and was ordained as a priest before 1355. He was appointed as his brother Joseph's successor as metropolitan bishop of Amid in  with the name Cyril. Abraham was elected as patriarch of Mardin at a synod at Amid in 1381 or 1382, upon which he assumed the name Ignatius.

Soon after his ascension to the patriarchal office, Abraham designated a brother as his successor as patriarch, according to the anonymous continuator of the Ecclesiastical History of Bar Hebraeus. In doing so, he attempted to establish his own familial succession in imitation of the preceding patriarchs of Mardin, Ignatius Shahab () and Ignatius Ismail (), both of whom were nephews of their predecessor. This was unsuccessful, however, as Abraham's brother would predecease him.

In 1396, Timur's attack on Mardin resulted in damage to the nearby monastery of Saint Ananias, including the destruction of the wall, cells, and door of the sanctuary. Abraham promptly set about raising funds to restore the monastery through gathering donations and the sale of the monastery's furniture, manuscripts, and vessels. Eventually, he spent 50,000 coins of an unknown currency on rebuilding the monastery, at which time he may have also transferred the relics of Saint Eugene and others there. Abraham served as patriarch of Mardin until his death in 1412 and was buried in the mausoleum of the monastery of Saint Ananias.

Works
Abraham wrote a book of propitiatory prayers () for the morning service of Lazarus Saturday, and compiled a liturgy of anaphoras of Church Fathers, including a 13-page anaphora written by his brother Joseph.

Gaby Herbstein (born May 3, 1969) is an Argentine visual artist and photographer. Her work has been published in magazines, books, blogs and exhibitions across Latin America, the US, Russia, China and Japan.

Life and career
Growing up she wished to be an Egyptologist, but given the limited opportunity for studying such careers in Argentina she instead chose to study tourism. While studying tourism she joined a friend in a photography class and instantly became hooked. Before she'd even finished her professional training, she started working as a photographer for major fashion magazines in Latin America.

Artistic Projects
Her first solo exhibition took place in a Buenos Aires nightclub in 1990 and since then she has showcased her work annually in Argentina and abroad.

Herbstein regularly produces and exhibits personal projects that deal with social and environmental issues. These have included:
Huellas (1999) meant to be an exploration of the identity of native Argentine women.
Heroínas (2000) a tribute to noted women in Argentine history,
Huella Ecológica (2009) and La Basura no es Basura  (2010) for the Fundación Azara that had environmental themes.

She has also worked on four projects for the Fundación Huésped, photographing Argentine celebrities to raise awareness about the spread and prevention of the HIV virus.

Her first book, Aves del Paraíso (2009), was themed around birds to raise awareness of species extinction.

In 2011, Herbstein created Uno, a series of images that represent humans as being one with nature.

Estados de Conciencia (2013), a series of photographs representing the different states of consciousness in the journey of self-discovery.

Divine Beauty (2015). Thirteen portraits of girls in a photo essay themed on Sacred Geometry.

Creer para Ver, (Believe to See) started in 2016, still in process. A multidisciplinary project that spreads the voice of 12 spiritual leaders of different beliefs, philosophies and cultures from around the world, supported by ONU.

La Diablada (Dance of the Demons) (2017), a production inspired by the Carnival rituals and the Andean traditions.

title: Sırakonak, İspir

text:
Sırakonak () is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of İspir, Erzurum Province in Turkey. Its population is 251 (2022). It was formerly known as Hodiçor, Xodiçur and Xodorçur. The former names are derived from the Armenian name of the whole valley, the Khodorchur or Khotorjur. Before the Armenian genocide the settlement was the centre of a group of thirteen villages populated by Catholic Christian Armenians

The Armenians of Khodorchur spoke a distinct dialect of Armenian. It belonged to the Western dialects of Armenian, but had features characteristic of the Eastern dialects as well as features unique to itself or shared only with the neighbouring Armenian dialect of Homshetsma. The Khodorchur dialect is now extinct, and no known vocal recordings of it survive.

The Armenian population of the Khodorchur valley was deported at the end of June 1915.

title: Cool Kids (song)

text:
"Cool Kids" is the debut single song by American indie pop band Echosmith from their 2013 debut studio album, Talking Dreams. The song was written by Echosmith, Jeffery David, and Jesiah Dzwonek. It was produced by Mike Elizondo, with additional production on the radio edit by Rob Cavallo. "Cool Kids" was originally released on May 31, 2013, as the iTunes Store Single of the Week and officially impacted United States radio the following year. The song subsequently became a sleeper hit, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and receiving airplay on US modern rock, hot adult contemporary, and contemporary hit radio stations.

Background
The song describes a boy and a girl who both desire to be noticed. In an interview, guitarist Jamie Sierota discussed the song's background, saying: "This cry to be like the cool kids… it's something that everyone kind of goes through whether you want to act like it or not... There's always somebody out there that you kind of wish, 'If only I could do this, or do that.' I think that's why it connects with people so well."

Composition

"Cool Kids" is written in the key of F minor, and follows a chord progression of Fm–D♭–A♭–E♭ (i–VI–III–VII). The tempo of the song is 129 beats per minute.

Music video
The song's official music video was filmed in Los Angeles, California and directed by Gus Black. It was released on June 21, 2013, on Echosmith's official YouTube channel. After the original video passed one million views, Echosmith released an acoustic version of the song. The band also released a new music video for "Cool Kids" on September 11, 2014, directed by Mark Pellington.

Commercial performance
"Cool Kids" debuted at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the issue dated July 26, 2014 and peaked at number 13. The song also reached the top ten of the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 and Adult Top 40 charts, peaking at numbers 9 and 5 respectively. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on October 4, 2014, and passed the one million sales mark later on in the same month. As of December 2014, it has sold over 1.1 million copies in the United States. "Cool Kids" also peaked at number 6 on the Australian singles chart and was certified double platinum in the country.

Other versions
In September 2022, the group released a new version of the song, labelled as "our version". The version was nominated for Self-Released Record of the Year at the 2023 Libera Awards.

title: American Joint Replacement Registry

text:
The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) is a non-profit organization established to foster the creation of a national center for data collection, and is dedicated to the improvement in arthroplasty patient care.

History
In partnership with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the AJRR was founded in 2009 with the goal to optimize patient outcomes through collection of data on all primary and revision total joint replacement procedures in the U.S., while enhancing patient safety, improving quality of care, and reducing the cost for patients. Since then, the AJRR has grown to over 620 participating hospitals with over 400,000 procedures in their database. Both figures are expected to increase by year's end, and will continue to do so as more participants join the registry.

In February 2010, The AAOS ratified the AJRR Board of Directors. In November 2010, AJRR received 501(c)(3) status, and in December 2010, their Business Plan was finalized and approved by the AJRR Board of Directors.

In March 2011, the Pilot Program was initiated, with successful Level I data transmission and collection from pilot sites completed in July of the same year.

In 2012, the national registry software was launched. In August 2012, Jeffrey P. Knezovich, CAE, was hired as AJRR's first Executive Director.

In November 2013, AJRR launched a pilot program of Level II, Level III, and Level IV data collection systems. That pilot study is expected to be concluded by the end of the third quarter 2014.

In February 2014, the AJRR was named to the National Quality Registry Network (NQRN) Council, an initiative of the American Medical Association; and, in May, 2014, the AJRR was named a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

On January 1, 2015, the AJRR officially became a freestanding association. 2015 also marked the formation of the AJRR User Group Network, the merger of the California Joint Replacement Registry (CJRR) into AJRR, and the enrolling of the 600th hospital.

title: Abraham Freije

text:
Abraham Khalil Freije (also known as Ibrahim Freiji) (May 5, 1906 – May 24, 1997)  is the coauthor of the first translation of the history of the United States into the Arabic language, “History of the American People”, published in 1946. The book divides itself into four principal sections: 1) beginnings of the American people; 2) beginning of the American nation (Revolution through the Civil wars); 3) development of the American nation (economics and culture); and 4) America's role in international conflicts.

Biography
Freije was born 1906 in Biskinta, Lebanon, the son of Khahl and Affifi Freije.  After graduating from the University of Damascus in 1930 with a law degree, he practiced law in Beirut, Lebanon until 1938, when he immigrated to the United States.
Freije married Evelyn Haddad in Brooklyn, NY in 1943.  Mr. Freije eventually settled in New London, CT, owning and operating a business on State Street in downtown New London. They had one son, Philip Freije.
'

Career
When he arrived in the United States, he served in the military intelligence unit of the U.S. Army during World War II, but was released to teach Arabic to the troops, teaching Arabic at Princeton University.   Under the supervision of Philip K. Hitti, Freije and Farhat Jacob Ziadeh began work on the first full-length history of the United States ever to appear in Arabic. Hitti supervised the project with the cooperation of Princeton's Department of Oriental Languages and Department of History. The three co-authors   finalized the roughly 350-page book entitled, “History of the American People,” and published the book under Princeton University Press.  The book was printed at the American Press, Beirut, to accommodate the need for Arabic printing by linotype.  The book release was also timed to coincide with the first visit by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Prince Saud Al-Saud, to the United States, which included a stop at Princeton as part of his nationwide tour at the invitation of President Harry S. Truman.

title: 2nd General Assembly of Newfoundland

text:
The members of the 2nd General Assembly of Newfoundland were elected in the Newfoundland general election held in May 1837. The general assembly sat from July 3, 1837 to 1841.

The assembly continue to meet at the Old Court House.

William Carson was chosen as speaker.

An Education Act passed in 1836 established a public education system in the province.

In 1838, Edward Kielley was alleged to have threatened and insulted John Kent, a member of the assembly, regarding remarks made by Kent in the assembly. The assembly considered these actions to violate the parliamentary privilege of the Newfoundland legislature and ordered Kielley arrested. The Supreme Court of Newfoundland upheld the actions of the assembly but in 1842 the ruling was overturned by the Judicial committee of the British Privy Council which ruled that the privileges of the British House of Commons were not transferred to colonial legislatures.

Sir Henry Prescott served as civil governor of Newfoundland.

Members of the Assembly
The following members were elected to the assembly in 1837:

title: Sam Nolan

text:
Sam Nolan (born 1930) is the secretary of the Dublin Council of Trade Unions and a political activist.

Biography
Born in Dublin, Nolan became active in the Irish Workers' League soon after World War II,  and was a member of its executive committee by 1952.  In 1957, he became a member of the executive of the new Unemployed Protest Committee, and was initially considered the most prominent figure in the movement.  At the 1957 Irish general election, he was asked to stand for the committee in Dublin South-Central, but refused, believing that anti-communist feeling following the Soviet invasion of Hungary made him an unsuitable candidate.  Instead, the movement stood Jack Murphy, who was elected.

During the 1960s, Nolan was prominent in the Dublin Housing Action Committee, while he also remained active in the Irish Workers' League.  He stood as a candidate at the 1969 Irish general election in Dublin Central, but took only 242 votes and was not elected.  In 1970, the Workers' League merged with the Communist Party of Northern Ireland to form the Communist Party of Ireland (CPI), and Nolan was elected as its first Deputy General Secretary.

In January 1976, Nolan resigned from the CPI alongside Joe Deasy, Paddy Carmody, George Jeffares, Mick O'Reilly and others, in protest at the party's change of line on the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, which they opposed.  They subsequently formed the Eurocommunist Irish Marxist Society, although this was short-lived, and Nolan soon joined the Labour Party, where he was a founder of Labour Left.  He was elected to the Labour Party's Administrative Council, and became a full-time organiser for the Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians.

Nolan was elected as the Secretary of the Dublin Council of Trade Unions in 1979, holding the post into the 2010s.

In his personal life, Nolan is the partner of academic Helena Sheehan.

A biography of Nolan was written by Brian Kenny and published in 2010.

title: Jack Layton Ferry Terminal

text:
The Jack Layton Ferry Terminal (formerly called the Toronto Island Ferry Docks) is the ferry slip for Toronto Island ferries operated by the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division. Three ferry routes provide transportation between mainland Toronto and Centre Island, Hanlan's Point and Ward's Island in the Toronto Islands, with levels of service to each destination differing depending on time of year. The terminal is located in the Toronto Harbour, behind the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel and adjacent to Harbour Square Park. It is south of Bay Street and Queens Quay in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Toronto Island Ferry Docks were renamed the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal in 2013 to honour Jack Layton, who served as a Toronto city councillor, and was later leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and leader of the Official Opposition.

History
The main departure point from the city to the Island has been at the foot of Bay Street since the 19th century.

First terminal location (19th century–1918)

The original terminal was located on the east side of the Toronto Harbour Commission Building at Bay and Harbour Streets. The terminal in the picture was destroyed by fire in 1907 and was rebuilt. A steamship terminal and berth areas was added to the east side. The site is now filled in and occupied by a parking lot.

Second terminal location (1918–1972)
When the infilling of the harbour took place after 1918 the docks moved to Queen's Quay west of Bay Street. It had a waiting room and was heated in the wintertime. This terminal would be there until it was demolished during the redevelopment of the Toronto waterfront that began in the 1970s. The Harbour Square condos are built on the site.

Third terminal location (1972–present)

The third terminal opened in January 1972, shifted about 100 metres to the east. The new terminal was part of a planned 85 million dollar waterfront project started in 1964, and completed in the early 1970s at the cost of 250 million dollars that would see the Bay Street shipping slip filled in and Harbour Castle Hilton and Harbour Square condos built. The cost of the new terminal was  But unlike the previous terminal, no waiting room was provided (as the ferries stopped operating during winter time), and had crowding problems starting in its first season. Metro Parks Commissioner Tommy Thompson would have liked to see the new terminal right at the foot of Bay Street, where the old one was, but it was placed where it was to be part of the condo-hotel complex. Minor upgrades have been made to replace the original ticket booths with newer and larger ones located just north of the original entrance and partially covered by a canopy.

In 2012, the Toronto City Council voted unanimously to rename the terminal in honour of the late Jack Layton, who served as a Toronto city councillor, and led the NDP and Official Opposition. In 2013, on the second anniversary of Layton's death, the terminal was formally renamed and a bronze statue of Layton riding on a tandem bicycle was installed at the site.

New Terminal
In 2015, a winning design was announced for a renovation and redesign of the terminal building. The first phase of construction is expected to be complete in April, 2019.

Usage
There is an estimated 1.2 million passengers to the station per year, mostly in the summer months.

The three larger ferries are stored here during the winter months. The ferries' exposed decks are covered by a white tarp.

title: Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern Railroad

text:
Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern Railroad  is a Class II freight railroad operating across South Dakota and southern Minnesota in the northern plains of the United States. Portions of the railroad also extend into Wyoming and Nebraska. It is owned and operated by Genesee & Wyoming. The primary commodities shipped are grain, clay, and cement. Operations began on June 1, 2014.

History
Genesee & Wyoming, a holding company of mostly shortline railroads, formed the Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern to acquire the western end of the former Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad (DM&E) rail line from the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The RCPE and DM&E entered an agreement on January 2, 2014, wherein RCPE would acquire 670 miles of track and 219 miles of trackage rights from the DM&E.  The acquisition was completed on May 30, 2014, for $210 million. Most of its employees came over from the DM&E. Operations began on June 1, 2014.

The State of South Dakota partnered with the RCPE to enhance rail service and keep agricultural commodities moving to market. In 2021, the RCPE received state and federal funding totalling US$42 million to upgrade 163 miles of rail between Fort Pierre and Rapid City. This project updated that portion of the line with 136 pound continuous welded rail. This increased the weight capacity of rail cars from   263,000-pound  to 286,000-pound and the speed limit from 10 mph to a minimum of 25 mph.

Route
The Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern owns  of track. The main line runs between Tracy, Minnesota, and Rapid City, South Dakota, with branches north to Colony, in Crook County, Wyoming, and south to Dakota Junction, Nebraska. Much of the main line from Tracy to Rapid City is paralleled by U.S. Route 14. The route travels the length of the state from the eastern border with Minnesota, to the western border with Wyoming, crossing the Missouri river at Pierre.
Huron Subdivision, Tracy to Huron, South Dakota - 136 miles
Pierre Subdivision, Huron to Pierre. - 118 miles
PRC Subdivision, Pierre to Rapid City - 170 miles
Black Hills Subdivision, Crawford/Dakota Junction to Colony (Formerly known as the Crawford Subdivision for DM&E)
There are three short branches as well:
 Blunt, South Dakota–Onida, South Dakota
 Huron, South Dakota–Yale, South Dakota (Owned by the State of South Dakota and operated by the RCPE, meets the BNSF at Yale from Watertown)
 Redfield, South Dakota–Mansfield, South Dakota (Accessed via trackage rights on the BNSF Mitchell - Wolsey - Aberdeen line)
There are interchanges with the BNSF Railway at Wolsey, South Dakota, Crawford, Nebraska, and Florence, Minnesota. The interchange with the Canadian Pacific is at Tracy, Minnesota.
The RCPE has trackage rights from Tracy to Mankato, Minnesota on the CPR, where there is an interchange with the Union Pacific Railroad. The RCPE also has trackage rights over the BNSF Railway between Yale, SD to Watertown, South Dakota, and Wolsey, South Dakota to Aberdeen, South Dakota.

Operations
, the train capacity between Fort Pierre, South Dakota and Tracy, Minnesota is 286,000, while the train capacity between Onida, South Dakota and Blunt, South Dakota is 263,000.

title: Nursing home care in Canada

text:
Long-term care facilities in Canada exist under three types: public, subsidized and private. Public and subsidized differ only in their ownership, all other aspects of funding, admission criteria, cost to the individuals are all regulated by the Provincial governments. In Quebec, the regulatory body is the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services.  In Ontario, for-profit companies run 57 per cent of long-term care homes, charities run 24 per cent and municipalities 17 per cent.

Private facilities are completely independent from government ownership and funding, they have their own admission criteria. They must maintain certain provincial standards, and they require licensing from the ministry.

The French term centre d'hébergement de soins de longue durée, or CHSLD, is commonly used in both English and French to refer to nursing homes in the predominantly francophone province of Quebec. In 2020, Canadian film director François Delisle released CHSLD, a short documentary film about his aging mother's stay in a nursing home.
