title: Seminole (train)

text:
The Seminole, also known as the Seminole Limited, was a passenger train operated by the Illinois Central Railroad, Central of Georgia Railway, and Atlantic Coast Line Railroad between Chicago, Illinois and Jacksonville, Florida. It operated from 1909 to 1969 and was the first year-round service between the two cities.

History
The Illinois Central Railroad, Central of Georgia Railway, and Atlantic Coast Line Railroad introduced the Seminole Limited on November 15, 1909, in time for the winter tourist season. The new train carried coaches, sleeping cars, and a full dining car. Through services included a St. Louis, Missouri–Jacksonville sleeper and a Chicago–Savannah, Georgia sleeper. The train operated on a "two night out" schedule, departing Chicago at 9:00 PM and arriving in Jacksonville at 7:05 AM on the second morning out. This permitted a late afternoon arrival in Birmingham, Alabama. The travel time was 35 hours from Chicago, three hours faster than existing services. The train operated on a daily schedule. The Illinois Central billed it as a "solid, fast through train." From Jacksonville passengers could make connections to other locations in Florida. It was the first year-round service between the two cities.

The African-American dramatist and playwright T. Montgomery Gregory, then a professor at Howard University, rode the Seminole Limited in Georgia in 1915 as part of his investigation into "Jim Crow" (segregated) cars on Southern trains. Gregory noted that even though the segregated cars on the Central of Georgia were "superior" to other railroads and that the Seminole Limited in particular was "one of the most favorable trains in the South", the train's conductor forced him from his coach at three in the morning to make room for whites who wanted to smoke. He was placed in an ostensibly white car which he characterized as "filthy" and the "nastiest...[he] had ever ridden in."

In 1950 the Illinois Central rescheduled the Seminole to depart Chicago at 4:00 PM. This put the southbound train in Birmingham at 8:30 AM and Jacksonville at 9:00 PM.

On July 1, 1967, the ACL became part of a merger product, the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad; and, thus, the SCL was a partner for the train in its final two years.

On June 3, 1969, the Illinois Central truncated the Seminole from Jacksonville to Carbondale and renamed it the Shawnee. The Shawnee would be one of the few Illinois Central trains retained by Amtrak in 1971.

Equipment
In 1952 a typical Seminole carried sleeping cars for five city pairs: Chicago–St. Petersburg, Chicago–Tampa/Sarasota, Chicago–Birmingham, St. Louis–Tampa/Sarasota, and St. Louis–St. Petersburg. With the exception of the Birmingham sleeper these were scheduled for alternate days, so that there was always one sleeper each for Chicago and St. Louis on the one hand, and St. Petersburg and Tampa/Sarasota on the other. Connecting Atlantic Coast Line trains handled the sleepers south of Jacksonville; the Illinois Central's Chickasaw handled the St. Louis sleepers west of Carbondale, Illinois. The sleeping cars each had eight sections, two compartments, and a drawing room. A dining car operated Chicago–Jacksonville and a buffet-lounge Carbondale–St. Louis. For the final Albany, Georgia to Jacksonville leg of the trip, the train ran in tandem, with the matching departure times for the itinerary of the Louisville & Nashville's Flamingo.

Coach passengers would need to transfer at Jacksonville Union Station to respective connecting Atlantic Coast Line and Florida East Coast Railway coach cars. Illinois Central, Atlantic Coast Line and Florida East Coast Railway timetables indicate that the matching FEC train in Jacksonville for the trips south and north was the FEC's Havana Special.

Cultural influence
The Seminole was a likely influence on blues guitarist Tampa Red's song "Seminole Blues":

title: Vini Vici

text:
Vini Vici is an Israeli psytrance DJ duo from Afula. The group was originally formed in 2001 under the name of Sesto Sento by the producers Matan Kadosh, Aviram Saharai, and Itai Spector; Spector left in 2011. In 2013, Kadosh and Saharai continued their musical activities under the name 'Vini Vici'.

History

Sesto Sento (2001–2013)
Aged 15, Saharai and Spector were classmates in high school who started producing 'trancey music' under the name 'Sesto Sento'. They were soon joined by the 17-year-old Kadosh, who had earned a reputation as the school's DJ; within a week the three had produced their first album, released in 2001. The trio's album Come Together (2006) has achieved Gold Record status. They also made a more techno type of music under the name of 'Ferbi Boys'. Spector became more religious over the course of two years, retreating from public appearances before abandoning the band in 2011 to live a more Orthodox Jewish life. He had concluded that playing music was incompatible with being strictly Jewish Orthodox, but remained good friends with Saharai and Kadosh in the years thereafter. After Spector left the band, producer and guitarist Dror Elkayam joined Sesto Sento, but later also quit the group.

Vini Vici (2013–present)
In 2013, Aviram Saharai and Matan Kadosh continued their musical activities under the name of 'Vini Vici', which they described as 'a new project'. Vini Vici's international success came in 2015, as "The Tribe" (which Saharai called 'the biggest essence' of what would become Vini Vici's style), from their first album Future Classics was praised by many of their fans. Saharai stated: 'We understood we want to have world music, with psytrance. We wanted to mix these two worlds.' Initially doing the rounds in the psytrance underground, the track became a commercial success when EDM DJs started playing it, and thereby put Vini Vici on the map. By 2019, "The Tribe" had more than 11 million streams on Spotify.

Vini Vici also made a remix for Hilight Tribe's song "Free Tibet", which by 2019 had achieved over 94 million plays on YouTube. Later, in 2016, they collaborated with Dutch trance producer Armin van Buuren and Hilight Tribe on a song called "Great Spirit". The song surpassed a million plays in a week.

In 2017, Vini Vici had released several singles such as "FKD Up Kids" and "Ravers Army." After that, Dutch hardstyle producer Wildstylez made a remix of "Great Spirit" in July 2017. They also released a song with Dutch big room duo W&W called "Chakra" which reached the #1 spot on the Beatport Psy-Trance Chart within 24 hours of release.

In 2018, Vini Vici launched their own psytrance label called Alteza Records, as part of Armada Music distribution, and also released some collaborations such as "100" with Timmy Trumpet, "The House Of House" with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and "Moshi Moshi" with Steve Aoki. That year, they took the main stage at the Belgian EDM festival Tomorrowland.

Vini Vici make music mostly under Alteza Records, whose other signed artists include Blastoyz, Skazi, WHITENO1SE, Reality Test, Omiki, Eddie Bitar, Indecent Noise, Animato, Gaudium, Phanatic, XYZed, Major7, Ghost Rider, Hi Profile, Off Limits, CoExist, Bizzare Contact, Berg, Dego, PANGEA, Alchimyst, P.R.O.G., Diego Miranda, Paul van Dyk, and Morten Granau.

In 2019, Alteza Records became a sublabel of Smash The House.

title: Labour Party (Poland)

text:
The Labour Party (, SP) is a minor political party in Poland. It was formally called the Christian-Democratic Labour Faction (, ChDSP) between 1989 and 2000.

History
The party was established in February 1989 as an alternative to the Polish United Workers' Party–Solidarity political duopoly. It had its roots in the Christian Democratic Political Theory Club, which had been established the year before by members of the Association for the Promulgation of Catholic Social Science. It was initially known as the Christian Democratic Labour Party (Chrześcijańsko-Demokratyczne Stronnictwo Pracy, ChDSP), and claimed to be the successor to the Labor Party that was dissolved after World War II. It was initially headed by Władysław Siła-Nowicki, and it was hoped that his prestige would help popularise the party. Two members were elected to Parliament on the Solidarity Citizens' Committee list in the 1989 parliamentary elections; Marek Rusakiewicz became a member of the Sejm and Walerian Piotrowski was elected to the Senate.

However, the party failed to gain significant support, and never attracted more than 2,000 members. It split over whether to support Siła-Nowicki or Solidarity leader Lech Wałęsa in the 1990 presidential elections, with the Wałęsa-supporting faction breaking away to form the Christian Democratic Party "Union". The remaining members of the ChDSP subsequently contested the 1991 parliamentary elections as part of the Christian Democracy alliance that won five seats. Stefan Pastuszewski was the party's sole MP.

The party joined the Centre Agreement for the 1993 parliamentary elections. However, the alliance failed to win any seats. In 1994 it merged with the small Christian Democracy party, and was renamed Christian Democracy-the Labour Party (Chrześcijańska Demokracja-Stronnictwo Pracy, ChD-SP). It was part of the Solidarity Electoral Action alliance that won the 1997 elections; the ChD-SP held one of its 201 seats in the Sejm, taken by Witold Nieduszyński.

In 2000 the party became the Labour Party. It was part of the Law and Justice list for the 2001 elections, but failed to win a seat. It was part of the All-Poland Citizen Committee for the 2004 European Parliament elections, but it received 0.6% of the vote and failed to win a seat. Prior to the 2005 elections the party split, with some members leaving to form the All-Poland Civic Coalition and others founded Ancestral Home. The Labour Party contested the elections alone, but received just 1,019 votes and failed to win a seat. The other two parties both received more votes, but also failed to win a seat.

title: Marie-Josée Ta Lou

text:
Gonezie Marie Josée Dominique Ta Lou (born 18 November 1988) is an Ivorian sprinter competing in the 100 metres and 200 m. She finished fourth in the 100 metres and 200 metres finals at the 2016 Olympic Games, missing out on a medal in the 100m by seven-thousandths of a second (0.007). She then won silver medals in the 100 metres and 200 metres at the 2017 World Championships, the latter in the national record time of 22.08 secs. Her 100 metres best is 10.72 secs (2022), thus making her the African record holder.

Career

Early career: 2007–2009
Ta Lou first passion was association football before her elder brother convinced to change to sprinting in 2008. She was voted the 2015 African Athlete of the Year by the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa. She trained in Paris, France, and studied medicine at the Université d'Abobo-Adjamé in Abidjan.

Ta Lou's played football at school in the neighbourhood of Koumassi, a suburb of Abidjan. Her brother objected when a women's team tried to get her to join them, fearing that she would turn into a tomboy. Friends of his suggested that if his sister enjoyed sports, she should take up athletics, as she was already regularly beating the boys in her class in sprints. By coincidence, Florence Olonade, the Ivory Coast 100 m champion in 1988, was a classmate of Ta Lou's mother, and invited Ta Lou for a trial. She beat the girls who trained under Olonade in a 200 m race, even though she was running barefoot and had not had time to prepare.

Originally, she could not train regularly, as she had to study for her high school diploma. Her mother was also against it, because she believed there was too much uncertainty in sport, particularly women's sport. She wanted Marie-Josée to become a doctor.

Ta Lou quickly progressed onto the national team.

By the end of June 2007 she was part of the Ivorian 4 × 100 m team that won bronze at the West African Championships in Cotonou, Benin.  She then made the Ivorian team for the African Junior Championships in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. She finished last in her 100 m heat, with a time of 13.21 seconds. In September 2007, she won her first national 100 m title in a time of 12.9 seconds.

Ta Lou began studying medicine after finishing high school. In 2008, she won both the 100 m and 200 m at the national championships. She repeated this feat at the 2009 National Championships. That year, she finished seventh in the 200 m at the 2009 West African Championships in Porto-Novo, Benin, with a time of 25.67 despite a 1.8 m/s headwind. Because it was hard to combine athletics training with medical school, she switched to accounting and finance. Her coach, Florence Onolade, also made a sacrifice, sending the promising young athlete to a coach with more experience, Jeannot Kouamé, so that Ta Lou could progress further.

Early rise: 2010–2013
In 2010, Ta Lou made her first impact on the international scene, finishing second place in the 100 m at the international Gabriel Tiacoh meet in Abidjan in a time of 12.10 seconds. In June 2010, she again won both the 100 m and 200 m at the national championships. She then competed in her first senior African Championships, finishing sixth in her 100 m semi-final in a time of 12.16 seconds. She also ran in the 200 m heats.  At the end of that summer, she was awarded a 4-year sports scholarship in China, by the Ivory Coach Athletics Federation. Her coach, Jeannot Kouamé, had pushed her to apply for the scholarship, as he could see her potential but felt she could not fulfill it if she stayed in the Ivory Coast.

Ta Lou and national teammate Wilfried Koffi (who would become double African champion in the 100 m and 200 m in 2014) moved to Shanghai at the end of the summer. Unfortunately, the scholarship was unsuccessful because the course she wished to attend, physiotherapy, was not offered to foreign students and the only course that was offered to the scholarship students was Mandarin. Foreign athletes were also only allowed to take part in the early rounds of athletics competitions.

In 2011, in August, she took part in the World University Games in Shenzhen, China, in both the 100 m and 200 m. She lowered her personal bests to 11.87 seconds and 24.17 seconds respectively. She was also a double finalist at the All-Africa Games in Mozambique. She also set a new 100 m personal best of 11.56 seconds in the heats.

In 2012, she won a bronze at the African Championships in Porto-Novo, Benin in the 200m (23.44) and in the 4 × 100 m.  She was also fourth in the individual 100 m. She set a new personal best in the semi-final, 23.26 seconds. This also meant she had achieved the B standard for the Olympic Games. She was included in the Ivorian team but was displaced when Murielle Ahouré got a time that met the A qualifying standard.

International competitions: 2013–2015
In 2013 she won the 100 and 200 m at the Gabriel Tiacoh meet in front of a home crowd in Abidjan. She competed in the World University Games in Kazan in July, reaching the semi-final in the 100 m and finishing eighth in the final of the 200 m in a time of 23.63. Her season was affected by a bout of malaria, which meant her time of 11.58 set at the Gabriel Tiacoh meet would remain her season's best. She was also struggling to combine her athletics training and her studies in Shanghai so in August, she decided to return to Ivory Coast.

Her ex-coaches, Onolade and Kouamé helped her to try to enrol at one of the West African High Performance Training Centres in Lomé (Togo) or Dakar (Senegal). She was put on the waiting list for sprinters. A space opened up in the autumn when one athlete decided not to take up their place in Senegal.  The head sprints coach at the Dakar HPTC, Anthony Koffi, Amantle Montsho's coach, pushed for Ta Lou to be the replacement. Ta Lou got her place in December 2013.

The new training produced immediate results. At the Gabriel Tiacoh meet, her first race against Ahouré since she moved, she finished second with a new personal best of 11.24 seconds. She also won the 200m in a time of 23.43. She also signed with a French club (Paris' Stade Français) so she could compete on the French athletics circuit. In August 2013 she competed at the African Championships in August in Marrakech. In the 100 m she clinched bronze in 11.20 and, in the absence of Blessing Okagbare, she finished second in the 200m, breaking her personal best with a time of 22.87 seconds, her first run under 23 seconds.  She won another silver with the 4 × 100 m relay.

Due to her results, she was selected for the African team at the IAAF Continental Cup in September, where she finished fourth in the 100 m in 11.28 and fifth in the 200 m in 22.78, another personal best.

Following further good performances in 2014, she was awarded an Olympic Solidarity scholarship to prepare for the 2016 Olympic Games. She also got an agent, the Italian Federico Rosa, who helped get her places on the starting line at international events. This meant she was able to take part in more events in 2015, to prepare for the World Championships that year. She ran a new 100 m personal best 11.08 m (wind-assisted) winning the Dakar World Challenge in May 2015. She improved that time to 11.06 seconds at the Paris Diamond League meeting on the 4th of July, her first Diamond League entry.  She ran below 23 seconds three times in 2015.  Her coach set a target of reaching the semi-finals at the World Championship. She succeeded, and barely missed making a final, because she was 3rd in her semi-final in both the 100 m and 200 m. She also set a new personal best in the 100 m of 11.04. She set a time of 10.95 in her heat but that was over the wind-assistance limit. In the 200 m, she lowered her personal best to 22.73 to win her heat, even though she was running with spikes borrowed from her friend Cynthia Bolingo. She ran even faster in her semi-final, 22.56, but it was unfortunately three hundredths of a second short of qualifying for the final.

At the African Games that year, she won a sprint double, with impressive times to offset the absence of both Blessing Okagbare and Murielle Ahouré.  In the 100 m, she ran a new personal best with a new Games record time of 11.02. She was named Best Female Athlete of the All-Africa Games and honoured at the ANOC Awards in Washington in November.

She competed at the 2016 World Indoor Championships. She reached the final but a poor start in the final led to worst 60 m time of the whole season. She was then injured at the Doha Diamond League meeting, hurting her left hamstring and being carried off the track by her opponents. The injury prevented her from training for a month. She made her competitive return at the Birmingham Diamond League on 5 June.

In Durban at the African Championships, she claimed two bronze medals. One was in the 100 m (behind countrywoman Murielle Ahouré and South Africa's Carina Horn) and the other in the 4 × 100 m, before beating South Africa's Alyssa Conley by 0.03 to win the African title in the 200 m. Later, she was part of the Ivorian team that set a new 4 × 100 m record of 43.28 seconds in Cape Coast, Ghana.

She false started in the 100 m at the Monaco Diamond League on 15 July. The London Diamond League went much better for Ta Lou, because she ran 10.96, in to headwinds, twice to win the 100 m.

Worldwide success: 2016–present
She also performed very well at the Rio Olympics. She reached both finals and finished 4th both in the 100 m and 200 m.  Her runs included a new PB of 10.94 in the 100 m semi-final, qualifying to the 100m final with the 7th time. Ta Lou finished with the same time as Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce in the 100 m final down to the hundredth of the second and the Ivorian lost the bronze in a photo-finish by 0.007, 10.852 to 10.859.

In the 200m, she ran 0.5 seconds faster than her previous season's best, winning her heat in a new personal best of 22.31 despite suffering from flu. She went faster again in the semi-final with a time of 22.28. In the final, she set a new national record, with a time of 22.21, 0.03 seconds faster than Murielle Ahouré's previous national record.

2017 did not get off to a good start for Ta Lou as she had been ill for most of the winter. After the indoor season, she made up for her lack of training in the outdoor season, setting a new national record in the 200m, 22.16, in Lausanne on 6 July. She then won the Monaco Diamond League 200 m.

She then travelled back home to Abidjan to anchor the 4 × 100 m relay in the Francophone Games. This was the host countries first gold in that competition. At the 2017 World Championships, she won the silver in the 100 m, narrowly missing out on gold, having led for most of the race. She then followed this up with another silver medal in the 200M, setting a new National Record of 22.08 in the process.

title: George Augustus Quentin

text:
Lieutenant-General Sir George Augustus Quentin (1760–1851)  was a British Army officer who fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

Biography
George Quentin was born in 1760, and was the eldest son of George Quentin of Göttingen.

Quentin served seven years in the Hanoverian Garde du Corps, prior to entering the British Army. He was appointed cornet in the 10th Light Dragoons in 1793. Subsequent promotions followed to lieutenant (1October 1794); captain (17May 1796); major (14February 1805) and Lieutenant-Colonel on 13October 1808. He served in the Peninsular War under Sir John Moore from 11November 1808 to 16June 1809, at the battles of Benavente and Corunna; also in Spain, under the Duke of Wellington, in 1813 and 1814, where he received a gold medal and one clasp for his conduct in command of the 10th Hussars at the battles of Orthes and the Toulouse. He received the brevet rank of Colonel on 4June 1814 and in 1815 served under Wellington in Flanders, and at Waterloo, where he was severely wounded. He was promoted to lieutenant-general in 1838.

At Waterloo in 1815 he was badly wounded, and created Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) later that year. He was created Knight Commander of the Royal Guelphic Order in 1821. He was aide-de-camp to the Prince Regent from 1811 to 1825, when he was appointed Equerry to the Crown Stables. He died on 7December 1851, aged 91.

Court Martial
On 17October 1814, Quentin was court-martialed on multiple counts of dereliction of duty during the Peninsular War. At the trial it became apparent that the charges had been invented by the officers of his regiment in retaliation for Quentin's attempt to impose discipline on the "aristocratic rabble" under his command.
The trial lasted two weeks at the end of which the court decided that Quentin should "be reprimanded in such manner as his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief shall be pleased to direct."

Family

In 1811, Quentin married Georgiana (died 1853), the youngest daughter of James Lawrell of Eastwick Park, and of Frimley Park, Surrey. She was reputedly unfaithful to her husband, and became celebrated as a royal mistress, under the names "Mrs Quentin" or "Harriet Quentin" (a misnomer). In 1822, a pamphlet appeared, Memoirs of the Celebrated Mrs Q—– by "Edward Eglantine", a pseudonym of William Benbow. It was reprinted in 1906 in Mrs Q—— and "Windsor Castle", with plates, by the collector Joseph Grego.

Their son, George Augustus Quentin, a major of the 10th Hussars, married in 1845 Anne Medlycott, daughter of the Rev. John Thomas Medlycott, of Rockets Castle, Waterford. Their daughter, Augusta Laurell (or Lawrell), married, in 1848, Captain Charles Francis Compton, formerly of the Madras Army, 48th regiment.

title: St. Mark's Church, Bergen

text:
St. Mark's Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bergen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the Løvstakksiden neighborhood in the borough of Årstad in the city of Bergen. It is one of the two churches for the Løvstakksiden parish which is part of the Bergensdalen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, plastered brick church was built in a long church design and in an art deco style in 1939 using plans drawn up by the architects Sverre Losnedahl and Nicolay Brøndmo. The church seats about 650 people.

History
In 1928, the new parish of St. Mark was established. Land had been purchased in 1919 for a future church. Initial plans for the new church were rejected and an architectural competition was held in 1931 to determine the architect. The competition was won by Sverre Losnedahl and Nicolay Brøndmo. The drawings were somewhat modified and a budget was determined. Construction took place during the late 1930s and the new building was consecrated on 12 February 1939.

The American Republican and Baltimore Daily Clipper was a newspaper published in Baltimore, Maryland in the mid-1800s. The paper supported slavery but opposed Confederate secession in the American Civil War, based on the premise that it would be possible to maintain slavery under the Union.

History
The American Republican and Baltimore Daily Clipper began as a daily newspaper titled, the Baltimore Clipper, on September 7, 1839, by John H. Hewitt & Co., editors and proprietors. A weekly edition of the paper, The Ocean, began on June 27, 1840. The name of the paper was briefly changed to American Republican from 1844 to 1847 to reflect its stance as a voice for the newly formed Know-Nothing Party. The paper reflected a nativist perspective advocating restrictions on immigration  and endorsed John Bell, the Constitutional Union Party candidate in the 1860 presidential election. Throughout the Civil War, however, the paper was Republican in politics and supported the administration and reelection of Abraham Lincoln. In addition to local news, the Clipper reported on national news such as the inauguration of President James K. Polk, the annexation of Texas, the Bear Flag revolt and military occupation of California, the signing of the Oregon Treaty, the Mexican-American War, and the Great Fire of Pittsburgh.

Upon a change of ownership, the Clipper ceased production on September 30, 1865, to become the Baltimore Daily Commercial on October 2, 1865. Publishers William Wales & Co. described the Commercial as a "mercantile and political journal... to be devoted mainly to the growing interests of Maryland, in every department of commerce and industry" and "independent of cliques or parties."  This focus on Maryland interests extended to publishing national news including Reconstruction, the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment and the abolition of slavery, and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Looking abroad, the Daily Commercial also reported on the Fenian movement for Irish independence and the 1863-1875 European cholera pandemic.

The title of the paper changed again to The Daily Commercial in December 1867, succeeded by The Evening Commercial in March 1868. Each paper appeared six days a week, excepting Sundays. The Evening Commercial ceased publication in 1869 following the sale of publishers William Wales & Company to the Democratic Association of Baltimore. William Hinson Cole and Edward M. Yerger purchased the Commercial and began printing the Evening Journal on September 4, 1871. In 1875, the Journal was purchased by Frederick Raine of the German-language newspaper Der Deutsche Correspondent, and discontinued.

title: Pinkfloydia

text:
Pinkfloydia is a genus of small Australian long-jawed orb-weavers, reaching a maximum lengths of about . It was first described by D. Dimitrov & G. Hormiga in 2011, and contains two species, found in New South Wales and Western Australia: P. harveyi and P. rixi. They have a unique rounded, cone-shaped head structure with one pair of large eyes and three pairs of smaller eyes. The genus is named after British rock band Pink Floyd.

Description
P. harveii is a species of tiny brown spiders, with individuals ranging from  in total body length, with females reaching larger maximum sizes than males. The eight eyes are situated on an elevated, rounded protuberance of the cephalothorax, with a one pair of eyes (the posterior median eyes) greatly enlarged compared to the other three pair. The elevated protuberance is unique among tetragnathid spiders, and other unusual features of the male pedipalps warranted the designation of a new genus with a name evocative of its uniqueness: Pinkfloydia was named by biologists Dimitar Dimitrov and Gustavo Hormiga after British rock band Pink Floyd, noting "In its heyday Pink Floyd was an innovative group that created music which was an eclectic mixture of styles... Pinkfloydia has very unusual morphological features and its name aims to reflect its uniqueness." The species name harveii honors biologist Mark S. Harvey of the Western Australian Museum who collected specimens as early as 1990, including the holotype specimen, the primary specimen used in describing the species.

Distribution and ecology
P. harveii is known from coastal areas of the state of Western Australia, with a range extending from Lesueur National Park in the northwest to Bremer Bay in the southeast.

The natural history of P. harveii is poorly known. Horizontal webs of juveniles have been described, measuring  wide.

Classification
Pinkfloydia is a member of the Tetragnathidae, a globally distributed family containing around 1,000 species with about 30 species in Australia. Based on morphological, behavioural, and DNA similarities, Pinkfloydia is classified within a group of tetragnathids native to Australia and New Zealand known as the "Nanometa clade", which includes species of Nanometa and Orsinome sarasini.

title: New Party (Brazil)

text:
The New Party (Portuguese: Partido Novo, stylised NOVO) is a classical liberal, libertarian party in Brazil founded on 12 February 2011.

The party was registered on 23 July 2014, supported by the signatures of 493,316 citizens. Its creation was approved on 15 September 2015. The party requested to use the number "30" for election identification. It is ideologically aligned with classical liberalism.

Ideology
The New Party supports policies that reduce the state's interference in the economy. It does not take any stance on social issues like abortion and legalization of drugs. The party is pro-gun rights and supports same sex marriage. The party positions itself as classical-liberal.

Policy proposals
The party's proposals include reforming the ways parties are allowed to obtain funding and ending compulsory voting, and defending private financing of campaigns.

The party aims for the privatization of public enterprises like Petrobras and Banco do Brasil although the party supports welfare programs like Bolsa Família. The party defends the Vouchers policy to improve the inequality between public and private education. In short, he argues that the State should focus on the areas of essential services: education, health and security.

The party opposes extensive regulation in many aspects of Brazilian society and their members believe the central bank should be independent from the state.

The program of the party focuses on the defense of a democratic state which preserves civil liberties, incentivizes Entrepreneurship and the participation of the citizen on the political life. The main objective of the party, according to the founders, is to secure economic liberty, as well as "ending privileges" instead of "protecting an elite".

title: Margaret Tebbit

text:
Margaret Elizabeth Tebbit, Lady Tebbit (; 24 May 1934 – 19 December 2020) was an English nurse who was paralysed from the chest down by the Provisional IRA's 12 October 1984 bombing of the Grand Brighton Hotel, where she was staying with her husband, Norman Tebbit (then Secretary of State for Trade and Industry), during the Conservative Party Conference.

Early life
Margaret Daines was born in Ely, Cambridgeshire, to Stan Daines, a tenant farmer, and his wife Elsie; she had eight siblings. After leaving school at 16, she became a nurse. In 1955, she met Norman Tebbit at Westminster Hospital, London. They married at Westminster Congregational Chapel in 1956. They had two sons and a daughter. In 1965 and 1974, she was hospitalised with severe post-natal depression. She provided secretarial support to her husband's parliamentary work, and later worked as a nurse at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London.

Brighton hotel bombing (1984)
On 12 October 1984, Margaret and Norman Tebbit were among the 31 people who were injured in the Brighton hotel bombing; five people were also killed. Margaret Tebbit was more seriously injured than her husband; she had fallen through four floors and remained trapped for several hours. She spent two years in Stoke Mandeville Hospital and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, undergoing treatment in their spinal injuries units. She recovered some use of her hands and arms but used a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Later life
After heading the Conservatives' successful campaign in the 1987 general election, Norman Tebbit resigned from his ministerial role; he did not stand for re-election in 1992, being created a life peer as Baron Tebbit. He had earlier promised that, to support Margaret Tebbit's continued care, he would leave Parliament and augment the family's income by working in business. In his 1988 autobiography, , he discusses his respect for his wife's strength of character.

Lady Tebbit was vice-president of the spinal-cord injury charity Aspire. She appeared on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 31 December 1995; she compared her experiences of severe post-natal depression with her later physical disability.

Lady Tebbit died at home in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 19 December 2020 at the age of 86, having had dementia with Lewy bodies.

title: SUIT (sight)

text:
The SUIT sight is a 4× prism sight with tritium-powered illumination, utilised at dusk or dawn. The full name is the L2A2 Sight Unit Infantry Trilux. The sight is not designed as a sniper sight, but as a standard issue infantry sight to improve the infantryman's night fighting capability and to assist target identification at long range in daylight and in poor light conditions.

The sight was mounted on the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle or GPMG. The SUIT sight was developed in the United Kingdom by Royal Armaments Research Development Establishment (RARDE) and is manufactured by Avimo Ltd., now known as Thales UK. It was first produced in 1976 by Avimo Ltd. in London and is regarded as an early optical combat sight.

The SUIT sight was an optional optical sighting system for the British Army's L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle and was also used by the Australians and New Zealanders. It was not widely issued amongst nor used in combat by the British Infantry, Royal Marines and RAF Regiment.

A similar unit known as the SUSAT( Sight Unit Small Arms, Trilux) was fitted to the later SA80 series weapons.

L1A1 mounting system
The FN FAL from which the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle was derived was not designed for mounting optical sights like the SUIT. For this, British modifications were applied like the addition of two retaining tabs at the rear of the (for cleaning and maintenance by sliding removable) receiver top cover to impair forward movement of the top cover (and resulting catastrophic loss of zero) when the L2A1 SUIT sight unit body is directly attached to its connection rail welded to the custom top receiver cover. The custom top receiver cover rail mounting causes an offset of the optical sight axis to the left side in relation to the receiver and barrel center axis. This prismatic offset design of the sight helped to improve clearance around the action, reduce the overall length of the sight, parallax errors and heat mirage from the barrel as it heated up during firing. The mounting system was technically complex as it combined interfaces between the rifle and the top cover and the rail and the SUIT sight unit itself.

Sight adjustment was performed on the front of the SUIT unit base for elevation and on the right bottom side for windage.

Range setting feature
The SUIT sight features a Bullet drop compensation (BDC, sometimes referred alternatively as ballistic elevation). The range setting feature consists of a selection lever to select a pre-determined zero cam for  (rear setting) or  (forward setting) range. The feature is tuned only for the ballistic trajectory of a particular gun-cartridge combination with a predefined projectile weight/type, muzzle velocity and air density.

Reticle
The reticle of the SUIT sight is of unusual design. Unlike the traditional crosshair layouts commonly used, which are in essence a cross intersecting the target, the SUIT has a single obelisk-shaped post protruding from the top edge of the sight so as not to obscure the target.  The reticle is tritium-illuminated for low-light condition aiming. The Trilux radioactive tritium illuminator light source produces a red glow, that can be selected and brightness adjusted on the top of the unit and has to be replaced every 8–12 years, since it gradually loses its brightness due to radioactive decay.

Body
The SUIT sight has an aluminium body, into which the eyepiece, objective lens and prisms are fitted as assemblies.

title: William Harrison Lowdermilk

text:
William Harrison Lowdermilk (1839–1897) was a Union soldier, printer, and newspaper publisher.

Biography
William Harrison Lowdermilk was born in Cumberland, Maryland on January 7, 1839. He moved to Louisville, Kentucky in 1850, attended college and learned the printing trade.

During the Civil War Lowdermilk enlisted in Company S, Kentucky 6th Infantry Regiment on 24 December 1861 and was promoted to Full Private on 1 May 1862. His obituary in the Evening Star states that he was an officer on General W. B. Hazen's staff. He was captured at the Battle of Stones River and held a prisoner of war in Libby Prison, Richmond for eight months, when he was exchanged, and then he rejoined his regiment and served with distinction until the close of the war, fighting at Shiloh, Chickamauga and Stone River.

In 1865, he purchased the newspaper the Civilian and Telegraph, a Cumberland newspaper made up of two previous papers, the Civilian and the Telegraph, and owned by Evans and Maupin. In May 1869, he established the  Transcript, a daily newspaper which was published for three months, before it was abandoned, because of the ill health of the editor. Later that year he became the Cumberland Postmaster and an author of the History of Cumberland.  The book was reviewed in the Evening Star in May 1896.

Lowdermilk moved to Washington, D.C. in 1878 and embarked in the book business as a member of the firm of James Anglim & Co. He later owned one of the largest book stores in the country, W.H. Lowdermilk & Co. Booksellers at 1424 F St., Washington D.C. He joined the Sons of the American Revolution on the grounds of the service of his ancestor Michael Kershner in Captain Graybill's Company on the Maryland Line during the American Revolution. Kershner had been stationed at Fort Cumberland. Lowdermilk attended meetings of the Sons of the Revolution in Washington, D.C.

He died in 1897, at age 80, in Washington D.C. and was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Cumberland.

title: Kleiner Solstein

text:
The Kleiner Solstein is a mountain,  high, in the  Nordkette in the  Karwendel Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol. Despite its name ("Small Solstein") it towers above its western neighbour, the Großer Solstein ("Great Solstein") () by almost  and is thus the highest summit in the Nordkette. The southern side of the Kleiner Solstein facing the Inn valley is characterised by schrofen and steep-sided cirques. To the north it plummets in a rock face up to  high towards the valley of Großkristental, which runs from the Gleirsch valley in a southwesterly direction to the Erl Saddle.

Ascent
The normal route to the Kleiner Solstein runs from the saddle between the Großer and Kleiner Solstein, initially crossing a small ridge of rock (Felsrippe) then over schrofen from the south to the flat summit ridge following a waymarked route to the top. The route to the saddle between the two peaks may be reached either from the Solsteinhaus and the Großer Solstein or on two paths from the south from the Neue Magdeburger Hut.

The crossing from the Hohe Warte to the east from the Gamswart Saddle has a climbing grade of UIAA III- and runs directly along the initially extremely sharp eastern arête. There are several difficult climbing routes up the north face.

title: Austin O. Sexton

text:
Austin O. Sexton (August 15, 1852 – January 9, 1908) was an American politician from Chicago, Illinois. He born and raised in the city, Sexton studied law and opened a practice in 1876. The same year, he was elected as a Democrat to the Illinois House of Representatives, serving until 1884. He then moved to Lake View, Illinois, and was a prominent citizen there in its last years as an independent city to its first years as a part of Chicago. Upon its annexation, Sexton was elected to serve the area in the Chicago City Council, where he was president pro tempore and helped to oversee preparations for the World's Columbian Exposition. He unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the Supreme Court of Illinois in 1893, then mainly returned to his law practice. Later in his life he was the treasurer of a distillery in Hammond, Indiana.

Biography
Sexton was born in Chicago, Illinois, on August 15, 1852. He attended the Kinzie School, graduating in 1868. Sexton then studied for four years at the Central High School. He decided to pursue a career in law and entered the office of James Ennis in 1874, studying for two years. He was admitted to the bar in 1876 and opened a law practice in Chicago.

In 1876, Sexton was elected as a Democrat to the Illinois House of Representatives. He was re-elected in the next three elections, serving a total of eight years in the 6th district. The Democrats nominated him for Speaker of the House in 1883, but Republican Lorin C. Collins was elected instead.

After his service in the legislature, he moved to Lake View, Illinois. He was elected President of the Lake View Board of Education in 1888, though he only served one year before the suburb was annexed by Chicago. He successfully ran for a seat on the Chicago City Council from the 25th Ward, serving from 1890 to 1895. During this term, he was president pro tempore of the council. This coincided with preparations for the World's Columbian Exposition; since Mayor of Chicago Hempstead Washburne did not attend council meetings, Sexton the most influential council member for fair preparations. During his term, Sexton was also the chairman of the Committee on Judiciary.

In the city council, Sexton became an advocate for sanitation. He unsuccessfully lobbied for the construction of a conduit on Fullerton Avenue, but successfully expanded the Lake View Water Works project, sponsoring legislation that extended its water tunnel . Sexton also sponsored a water main project through Lake View. The Democrats nominated Sexton for a position on the Supreme Court of Illinois in 1893, but he was defeated by Jesse J. Phillips. Mayor Carter Harrison, Jr. appointed Sexton to the Chicago Board of Education in 1899, where he served until 1901. He became treasurer of the Hammond Distilling Company in Hammond, Indiana, in 1900.

Sexton married Mary I. Lyons in 1874; they had a son (William H.) and three daughters. He largely eschewed social clubs, though he was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He typically spent his free time at home. Sexton died suddenly at his daughter's house in Hammond on January 9, 1908, and was buried at Calvary Cemetery in Evanston.

title: The Doctor Takes a Wife

text:
The Doctor Takes a Wife is a 1940 American screwball comedy film directed by Alexander Hall and starring Loretta Young, Ray Milland, Reginald Gardiner, Gail Patrick and Edmund Gwenn. It was produced and distributed by Columbia Pictures. Young and Milland portray a best-selling author and medical school instructor, respectively, who find it convenient to pretend to be married, even though they initially loathe each other.

Young had recently left 20th Century Fox after turning down Darryl F. Zanuck's offer of a new contract and going freelance, it was her first film at Columbia since Man's Castle in 1933.

Plot
June Cameron is the celebrated writer of a feminist book while medical instructor Doctor Timothy Sterling is a slightly misogynist cynic. After she badgers him into giving her a lift from the isolated Connecticut hotel in which they are both staying, a misunderstanding leads to the newspapers declaring that she has turned her back on her beliefs and married him. Both naturally want to deny it, but her publisher and fiancé convinces her that her former angle is now ruined and that she must now write a pro-marriage book. After a certain period she can then go to Reno and get a divorce. Timothy wants nothing to do with this scheme until he learns he has been made a professor by his college, based solely on the fact that he is now a married man rather than a bachelor.

Timothy plays along with the scheme, concealing from June that this arrangement also benefits him and portraying it as a sacrifice done entirely for her sake. Complications ensue when his own long-standing fiancée Marilyn arrives back in town. She becomes jealous despite his attempts to portray his (non-existent) relationship with June as a marriage of convenience. Timothy tries desperately to juggle his pretend fiancée and his real fiancée, even as he begins to develop feelings for June.

Critical reception
Variety felt it was "a light comedy with farcical trimmings that depends on punchy dialog and semi-slapstick situations for a good supply of laughs" while the New York Times review noted "thanks to Mr. Milland's genteel clowning and a couple of dependable farce situations - one of which is the frantic business of keeping two unsuspecting parties going in adjacent apartments at the same time - the comic pace is generally maintained".

The Neptune Society, Inc. is a US provider of cremation services. Its was founded in Plantation, Florida.

History
The Neptune Society was established in 1973 and was incorporated in 1985.

In 1999, the Neptune Society announced its completion of equity financing of $7 million with Standard Securities Capital Corp. in Toronto and appointed Marco Markin as president and chief executive. In 2000, the company announced it had acquired the Cremation Society of Iowa and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. In 2003, it was reported that an $11.5 million deal proposed by the firm of Walt Disney’s great-nephew to buy Neptune Society was called off.

In June 2011, Service Corporation International announced it had purchased control by buying a 70 percent share of the company. At that time, the company's annual revenues were more than $55 million and it had more than $125 million in future revenue on its books.

Neptune Memorial Reef

Neptune Society Columbarium

The Neptune Society Columbarium  of San Francisco is an architectural landmark in San Francisco and is the city's only nondenominational public burial space. The columbarium was built in 1898 by architect Bernard J.S. Cahill and is currently operated and maintained by the Neptune Society of Northern California. The copper-domed, Neo-Classical structure houses more than 8,500 niches for cremation urns. The building was designated as a San Francisco city landmark in 1996.

Controversies
There have been a number of controversies with the Neptune Society. In the late 1990s, the company settled lawsuits from the widow of a former Burbank mayor and 308 Southern California residents who claimed remains were mishandled.

In November 2013, residents of East Oakland and members of Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) gathered around the Neptune Society office on Grand Avenue to protest against the planned construction of a new crematory that would accommodate 3,000 remains. Opposition was primarily driven by environmental concerns. Arguments in favor of the facility pointed to job creation and other possible benefits of the crematory.

title: Weekend of Terror

text:
Weekend of Terror is a 1970 American made-for-television thriller film directed by Jud Taylor and starring Robert Conrad, Carol Lynley, Lois Nettleton and Jane Wyatt. It was aired on December 8, 1970, in the ABC Movie of the Week space.

Plot
A nun returning from a sabbatical is met at a bus station by two of her colleagues. En route to their convent, their car breaks down on a desert road, so they decide to flag down a passing motorist. Meanwhile, two escaped convicts have abducted a local businessman's niece with a scheme to collecting a ransom, only to have the woman die while attempting to flee the abandoned house they are holed up in.

Larry, the kidnapper under whose watch the victim died, passes the nuns in their disabled Plymouth Belvedere and decides to stop. The nuns mistake him for a helpful motorist and he tows them with his Volkswagen Type II to his hideout (in the opposite direction from Victorville, California, where repair facilities would be accessible). The nuns soon learn their fate and are held hostage in a locked room with boards nailed over the windows.

The kidnappers devise a plan to get the ransom money from the rich uncle (who is unaware his niece is dead) by having one of the nuns pose as the dead girl. Eddie orders accomplice Larry to take Sister Ellen to a wig shop, then to a phone booth where she can call her convent and give false information to explain their not showing up. Larry is something of an unwitting party, not wishing to commit further crimes.

Larry tells the hostages to hide and tells Eddie they have escaped. Eventually the captives are discovered hiding in a closet by Eddie, after which a commotion occurs and he is killed by his own gun. Larry feels forced to take Sister Ellen hostage and attempts to flee by stealing a light aircraft, but before he gets away there is a climactic scene on the runway.
