title: Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun

text:
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, also colloquially known as Dehradun Cricket stadium is a cricket stadium in the Dehradun, Uttarakhand in India. It is the home ground of Uttarakhand cricket team.

It is the first international standard stadium in the Uttarakhand state and was constructed in amount of 237 cr.  In 2018 this arena hosted its first ever ICC cricket match. Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is India's 21st venue to host T20 internationals, and the 51st Indian international cricket venue. It is the home ground of Uttarakhand cricket team.

It is named after former prime minister of India Rajiv Gandhi.

History

With the formation of the state in the year 2000, the state suffered a blow to its sport facilities as Uttar Pradesh had the entire infrastructure for sports and Uttarakhand had hosted very few Ranji Trophy matches. Due to the lack of infrastructure, players started moving to different states.

Due to lack of infrastructure facilities, state was not given affiliation by the Board of Control for Cricket in India to make its team to complete in Ranji Trophy and other domestic tournaments. This was a major drawback for the young cricketers in Uttarakhand who started seeking cricketing opportunities from other states.

In November 2012, the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Vijay Bahuguna, laid the foundation of the stadium. On 16 December 2016, Chief Minister Harish Rawat inaugurated the stadium along with Rajeev Shukla, Chairperson of the Indian Premier League. The total cost of stadium was ₹237.20 crore.

The first ever match was played between Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand cricket team. International players such as Piyush Chawla and Suresh Raina etc was in the attendance.

In 2016, The Great Khali organised a professional wrestling event inside this stadium, which also featured foreign professional wrestlers.

The stadium was selected as the second home ground for the Afghanistan cricket team in India. In 2018 this arena hosted its first ever international match, when Afghanistan played against Bangladesh in T20I here.

The stadium suffered from lack of maintenance from the Uttarakhand government, due to deprivation of big matches and high cost to run it. The state government decided to out source private company to maintain it and rolled out tender.

The stadium hosted its inaugural ODI and Test match during series of Ireland against Afghanistan in India.

Architecture and facilities
The stadium is located in the Raipur area of Dehradun and has a seating capacity of 25,000 people, along with floodlights facility for conducting day-night matches.

title: Veyre

text:
The Veyre is a left-bank tributary of the river Allier in the French region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Geography
The Veyre is  long.
It has no concrete source given that it originates at the plateau des Monts Dore, from the confluence of two streams : la Narse et le Labadeau which begins at the Puy de Vedrine. La Veyre has the particularity of having had its flow breached around 10,000 years ago by a lava flow of the Puy de la Vache and the Puy de Lassolas which formed a volcanic reservoir, the lac d'Aydat. Shortly after the lac d’Aydat, the Veyre then disappears underneath the volcanic heath of la cheire d’Aydat, then reappears downstream of Saint-Saturnin. At Veyre-Monton, between Tallende and Veyre, it is joined by the Monne. It flows into the Allier at Les Martres-de-Veyre.

title: K. R. Ramsingh

text:
K. R. Ramsingh (c. 1915 – 18 October 1985) was an Indian theatre, film and voice actor.

Early life
Ramsingh was born into a Rajput family in Nagercoil, Travancore (present day Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu). He was educated at the Hindu Higher Secondary School, Nagercoil. At a very young age, he was drawn towards theatre. Since his parents however were not supportive of his decision, he had to leave his family and joined an amateur drama company. After working for some companies, he joined the "Sri Ramabala Gaana Vinoda Sabha", a theatre group which consisted of future artists including M. S. Viswanathan and R. Muthuraman. During this time, Ramsingh won acclaim for acting in a play called Puyalukkuppin – he performed the role of a dictator. Later he acted in a devotional play based on the life of the Vaishnava sage Thirumazhisai Aazhwar. It was staged in Madras for over 400 days. After establishing himself as a leading theatre artist, he got offers to act in films. He played the lead role as saint Vishwamitra in the 1948 Tamil film Brahmarishi Vishwamithra. He was paired opposite T. R. Rajakumari, who played the role of Menaka. The dialogues of the film were written by playwright Pammal Sambandha Mudaliar. The film was also released in Hindi with Ramsingh reprising his role. However, the film's failure prompted Ramsingh to go back to theatre.

Film career
After a brief hiatus, he returned to films through Minnal Veeran starring Ranjan and Sandhya in the lead. Ramsingh played the main antagonist in the film. Following that, he went on to act in similar roles in films such as  Puyal and Kanniyin Kaadhali. His role as an amputated wizard in K. Ramnath's Vijayakumari (1950) fetched him critical acclaim. Ramsingh was next seen in M. G. Ramachandran's Nadodi Mannan, where he played Bhanumathi Ramakrishna's father, Mahadevi, and Maruthanaatu Veeran.

While acting in films, he worked as a voice actor for films dubbed from other languages in Tamil. He provided the voice-over for Prithviraj Kapoor in a Hindi film. Kapoor was so impressed with Ramsingh's voice so that he requested the latter to do the voice-over for him in the Tamil version of Mughal-e-Azam. In the later part of his career, he worked mainly as a voice actor while making appearances in a few films.

Death
Ramsingh died at the age of 70 on 18 October 1985 at a private hospital in Kodambakkam, Madras.

title: George Allen (publisher)

text:
George Allen (26 March 1832 – 5 September 1907) was an English craftsman and engraver, who became an assistant to John Ruskin and then in consequence a publisher. His name persists in publishing through the Allen & Unwin company.

Early life
The son of John and Rebecca Allen, he was born on 26 March 1832 at Newark-on-Trent, and was educated at a private grammar school there. His father died in 1849, and in that year he was apprenticed for four years to an uncle (his mother's brother), a builder in Clerkenwell, London. He became a skilled joiner, and was employed for three and a half years in that capacity on the woodwork of the interior of Dorchester House, Park Lane. Allen and another workman worked for 79 days on a single door in the house, and Ruskin later showed a model of this door to his friends as a specimen of English craftsmanship.

With John Ruskin
On the foundation of the Working Men's College in 1854, Allen joined the drawing class, and became one of Ruskin's pupils there. He was offered a post in Queen Victoria's household, working on the furniture of the royal palaces; but he declined it in order to concentrate on work for Ruskin's service. He took on posts of different kinds for 50 years.

For a few years Allen acted as an assistant drawing-master under Ruskin at the college. Ruskin then encouraged him to specialise in engraving, which he studied under John Henry Le Keux the line engraver; he also studied mezzotint under Thomas Goff Lupton. Allen's duties for Ruskin were various.

Publisher
In 1871 Ruskin decided to set up a publishing house of his own. At a week's notice, and without any previous experience of the trade, Allen started in on this enterprise. His publishing establishment was first his cottage at Keston, and later an out-house in the garden of his villa at Orpington. In the early days Ruskin's ideas on distribution hampered the business, and in time expansion of the business made for the premises in London. In 1890 Allen opened a London publishing house (trading under the name George Allen & Sons) at 8 Bell Yard, Chancery Lane; and in 1894 he moved to a larger place at 156 Charing Cross Road. There he took to general publishing, though Ruskin's works remained the major part of his business. His last project was the library edition of Ruskin's works, appearing from 1903 to its completion after his death in 1911.

Death
Allen was one of the original Companions of Ruskin's Guild of St. George. He died, in his seventy-sixth year, on 5 September 1907, at Orpington, and is buried in the parish churchyard there. His wife had died, in her eightieth year, eight months before him. His collection of minerals was acquired after his death by the University of Oxford.

Works
Allen made engravings in mixed styles, and these were included in Ruskin's later books. Of the original illustrations in Modern Painters, three were from drawings by Allen; he engraved three plates for the edition of 1888; and in all executed 90 other plates for Ruskin. As with some of the other assistants, his work has sometimes been mistaken for Ruskin's.

Family
Allen was brought further into connection with Ruskin by marrying (25 December 1856) the latter's mother's maid, Anne Eliza Hobbes. They had four sons and four daughters. The eldest daughter, Grace Allen, and the two eldest sons, William and Hugh, carried on the family business after their father's death. In 1911 George Allen & Sons amalgamated with Swan Sonnenschein & Co. Ltd. (see William Swan Sonnenschein) and became George Allen & Co. Ltd. In 1913 the firm became insolvent and it was taken over by Stanley Unwin, emerging as George Allen and Unwin.

title: Civilization Revolution 2

text:
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution 2 is a 4X turn-based strategy video game for portable platforms, developed in 2014 by Firaxis Games with Sid Meier as designer. It is a spin-off of the Civilization series and a sequel to Civilization Revolution.

Gameplay
The game features returning leaders from the original Civilization Revolution, such as Abraham Lincoln and Napoleon Bonaparte, along with new leaders such as Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy. Players are tasked with building an empire from one of several choices, including Japan, America and Russia, among others. Once the player has founded their capital, the player may start research and city production. Other civilizations are also on the map, whom the player can discuss with and trade technologies. There are four ways to win the game: Domination (capture all enemy capitals), Economic (collect 20,000 gold pieces and build the World Bank), Cultural (acquire 20 converted cities, wonders, or great people, then build the United Nations), and Science (be the first to launch a spaceship to Alpha Centauri). Each victory has different ways of achieving it.

Releases

The iOS version of the game was released in July 2014. An Android version of the game was released on November 7, 2014.

A PlayStation Vita version of the game, entitled , was announced in October 2015. Adding exclusive scenarios, units and world leaders (including Oda Nobunaga, Heihachiro Togo and Himiko), the game was set for release globally on December 3, 2015. Ultimately it only launched in Asia on that date, whereas the western release was delayed twice before coming out on late March 2016. A physical version, featuring box art designed by Hidari, is available in Asia in both local languages and English. The PS Vita version lacks multiplayer.

Reception

The original Civilization Revoluion 2 received "average" reviews, while Civilization Revolution 2+ received generally favorable reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave the latter version a score of 30 out of 40.

Chad Saphieha of National Post gave the original game seven out of ten, saying, "It's hard to recommend Civilization Revolution 2 to those who already played the original. But if this is your first dose of Civ, you're in for a treat." However, Sam White of Digital Spy gave it three stars out of five, saying, "As a tidy-looking package, Civilization Revolution 2 ups the ante in almost every way. It's bold and colourful, and looks fantastic on iPad's gorgeous Retina display. If you're a veteran fan of the series like me, then this mobile sequel might put you off at first. It feels constricted to the mobile world, without the sense of epic scale you get zooming out on your huge empires in the PC games." Roger Hargreaves of Metro gave it a similar score of six out of ten, saying, "Civilization on a smartphone (or tablet) is still an enticing prospect but this so-called sequel shows very little improvement over the original and is now missing a major play mode."

title: The Contagiousness of Puerperal Fever

text:
The Contagiousness of Puerperal Fever is an essay written by Oliver Wendell Holmes which first appeared in The New England Quarterly Journal of Medicine in 1843. It was later reprinted in the “Medical Essays” in 1855.  It is included as Volume 38, Part 5 of the Harvard Classics series.

Synopsis

In just under 12,000 words Holmes argues forcefully and convincingly that the rampant infection killing women within a few days of childbirth was caused mainly through infection spread by their birth attendants. He also laid down well-thought out and easy to execute behaviors through which the spread of infection could be contained.

History

Holmes developed an interest in puerperal fever by accident. In 1836 Holmes graduated from Harvard Medical School. He was Professor of Anatomy and Physiology at Dartmouth College from 1838 to 1840.  In 1840 Holmes went back to Boston, took up general practice, and joined the Boston Society for Medical Improvement. At one of the meetings of the Society a report was presented about a physician who had performed a post mortem examination of a woman who had died from puerperal fever. Within a week that doctor himself died of infection, seemingly contracted when he was wounded during the autopsy he had conducted on the dead woman. The report stated that during the time interval between when the physician received the wound and then subsequently died from it, all the women whom he had attended during childbirth contracted puerperal fever. This report seems to have convinced Holmes that

“The disease, known as Puerperal Fever, is so far contagious as to be frequently carried from patient to patient by physicians and nurses.”

The end of the essay included eight steps which birth attendants needed to adhere to in order to prevent the spread of infection from patient to patient, especially infected patients to susceptible women after childbirth. Until this time in history these eight rules were the most definitive standard so far published on the control of this terrifying illness. Adhering to these protocols no doubt saved innumerable lives around the world.

Unfortunately the essay did not enjoy the early and wide distribution which it deserved. The essay first came to light as a paper read before the Boston Society for Medical Improvement. The Society asked that the essay be published as a paper in the New England Quarterly Journal of Medicine and Surgery in April 1843.  Due to low circulation of this specialized journal and the fact that the journal was discontinued after just one year, the paper was not properly brought to the attention of either physicians or the public at large.

In 1852 Dr. James Copeland mentioned the Holmes essay positively in his well-respected Dictionary of Practical Medicine. Dr. Copeland, who was the Consulting Physician to Queen Charlotte's Lying-in Hospital in London, affirmed the contagiousness of puerperal fever by pointing out that "Dr. Holmes has forcibly and eloquently brought this much neglected subject before the profession."  Dr. Copeland unfortunately also added that there was no consensus on the infectiousness of puerperal fever with such eminent experts as Hulme, Leake, Hull, Beaudeloque, Tonnellé, Dugé, Dewees and others still denying this fact.

Twelve years after the original publication in 1843 Holmes reprinted his essay in 1855 as a private publication. He entitled it “Puerperal Fever as a Private Pestilence.” He had two main reasons for the reprint: first, because of the poor distribution of the essay at first; and second, to warn his fellow doctors and convince them of the contagiousness of puerperal fever. Holmes added a preface to the original essay, stating all the issues, deflating the pretensions of the professors who were still denying the cause of the fever, and warning medical students of the illogical nature of their arguments.  Holmes theories were confirmed by the work of Semmelweis.

title: Aubrey Linne

text:
Aubrey Linne (born April 19, 1939) was a tight end in the National Football League and Canadian Football League from 1961 to 1963.

After playing college football at Texas Christian University, Aubrey Linne joined the Baltimore Colts in 1961 but was put on waivers in 1962 after playing only one game. Linne was picked up that year by the Toronto Argonauts when he enjoyed his best season with 21 catches for 401 yards and a 19.1 yards per catch average in 6 games. However, in 1963, he played only 4 games for the Argos. He went to the Edmonton Eskimos, where he played 8 games and obtained 16 catches for 200 yards and a 12.5 yards per catch average. He also served as the Eskimos'punter: 43 punts for a 40.7 yards per punt average, a top one of 73 yards and 2 single points. However, he was replaced as the punter the following year by Marcel Deleeuw and never played again. He was probably the tallest player in the CFL at that time at 6 feet 7 inches.

title: High and Low Lights of North Shields

text:
The High and Low Lights of North Shields are decommissioned leading lights in North Shields, Tyne and Wear in the United Kingdom. Two pairs of lights survive: the older pair date from 1727 and were operational until 1810; the newer pair then took over, remaining in use until 1999. All four are listed buildings. They were sometimes known as the Fish Quay High and Low Lights, or (more precisely in terms of their individual locations) as 'Fish Quay (Range front)' and 'Dockwray Square (Range rear)'.

The first lighthouses were erected here in the 16th century by the Guild of the Blessed Trinity of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. By following a course which kept the two lights aligned, pilots were able to navigate along the Tyne, avoiding the dangerous Shields Bar and the Black Middens.

Earliest lights

In 1536, a charter of Henry VIII gave permission to the Guild of the Blessed Trinity (which is known today as Trinity House of Newcastle) to build and embattle a pair of towers on the north bank of the River Tyne to serve as leading lights for safe navigation at the mouth of the river. The granting of the charter coincided with Henry's policy of dissolving England's monasteries and in 1539 he gave the monastic church of the town's Blackfriars monastery to the Guild, which used its stonework to build the two towers.

Work began on the towers the following year: they were built on high and low ground either side of Pow burn, which flows into the Tyne at 'the Narrows' (the narrowest point of the river mouth). A keeper was paid 20 shillings a year to keep a tallow candle alight in each tower every night for a certain number of hours either side of high tide. To fund the provision and maintenance of these lights the Guild was empowered to levy dues on every ship entering the port (initially 2d per English vessel and 4d per foreign vessel).

In 1608 a further ordinance was issued by James I requiring Newcastle's Trinity House to maintain a pair of lighthouses at North Shields. The towers were increased in height at around this time; they are depicted on Ralph Gardner's map of 1655, still with their battlements (they were built with a defensive as well as a navigational purpose in mind).

The changing position of sandbanks in the mouth of the river meant that the lights had likewise to change position from time to time. To try to address this, the lighthouses were replaced in 1658 by moveable wooden structures; these proved unreliable, however, and in the 1680s Newcastle's Trinity House was seeking funds to repair the stone towers.

In 1672 the Low Light found itself enclosed by Clifford's Fort, constructed that year to help defend the Tyne from coastal attack. A postern in the fort wall provided access to the lighthouse; however, in the years that followed a number of disputes arose between Trinity House and the Governor of the Fort. These came to a head in 1726 when a new Governor's House was built on the site, which obscured the light. It seems likely that this is what prompted the rebuilding of both lights in 1727.

Old High and Low Lights

Initially, the 1727 High and Low Lights were each lit by three tallow candles. Copper reflectors were added in 1736, and in 1773 the candles were replaced by oil lamps. The Low Light was repaired and remodelled in 1733 and again in 1775 when the second floor was added. By 1805 the lights were no longer aligned with river channel and Newcastle Trinity House began building a new pair of lights in 1807.

Decommissioning and aftermath
When the New High and Low Lights were commissioned in 1810 the old lights were taken out of service and the white façade of the low light was painted black (to prevent it being confused with the new light when viewed from the water). In due course both Old Lights were converted by Trinity House into almshouses; the Old Low Light, with the addition of a pitched roof, reopened as Trinity Alms House in 1830.

At some later date the Old High Light became a private dwelling, and it remains so today; it is a grade II listed building. The Old Low Light is also grade II listed and, as part of Clifford's Fort, stands within a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It served as a fish warehouse during the 20th century; saved from dereliction in 1988, it became a training centre for the Deep Sea Fisheries Association and latterly was occupied by the Maritime Volunteer Service. By the early 21st century the building was in a poor state of repair, but it was comprehensively refurbished after the MVS departed in 2011 and a modern annexe with viewing platform was added. The Old Low Light subsequently opened to the public in 2014 as a museum and community resource; it contains a ground-floor café, a permanent  exhibition on the first floor (telling the history of the lighthouses, Clifford's Fort and Fish Quay) and an event space above it.

New High and Low Lights

Work on the new lights was begun in 1807; both were designed for Trinity House, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, by local architect John Stokoe (1756–1836). Both towers are of white-painted ashlar, the High Light of four storeys, the Low Light of six, with curved windows; in each case the east face of the tower, facing the sea, is left plain and windowless (except on the lantern stage at the top where the lights shone out to sea). Above the lantern stage is a curved roof topped by a chimney. The lights were first lit on 1 May 1810. Each has a house attached for its keepers: that on the Low Light is dated 1816, while that on the High Light has a plaque with the Trinity House arms recording its rebuilding in 1860. By 1861 both lighthouses were lit by gas, each being equipped with a single burner set within a silvered reflector. In 1883 responsibility for the two lights was transferred from Newcastle Trinity House to the Tyne Improvement Commission. In December 1927, the Commission converted the two lights from incandescent gas to electricity. The new 100,000 candle-power lights had a range of ; they were fitted with automatic lamp changers and an incandescent gas lamp was also retained as an emergency standby in the event of a power cut.

Decommissioning
In 1999 the lighthouse at Herd Groyne on the opposite bank of the Tyne had a high-intensity sector light installed for navigation into Tynemouth and along the river, whereupon the High and Low Lights were decommissioned and the buildings sold for housing.  The towers, however, continue to serve as daymarks for vessels entering the Tyne and both are Grade II listed buildings.

Each New Light stands close to its predecessor: the Low Lights are on Fish Quay, alongside the remains of Clifford's Fort, and the High Lights are at Dockwray Square, on the ridge above the quay to the west.

title: The Future of the Mind

text:
The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind is a popular science book by the futurist and physicist Michio Kaku.
The book was initially published on February 25, 2014 by Doubleday.

In 2015 the book was translated into Hebrew.

Overview
The book discusses various possibilities of advanced technology that can alter the brain and mind. Looking into things such as telepathy, telekinesis, consciousness, artificial intelligence, and transhumanism, the book covers a wide range of topics. In it, Kaku proposes a "spacetime theory of consciousness". Similarly to Ray Kurzweil, he believes the advances in silicon computing will serve our needs as opposed to producing a generation of robot overlords.

Reception
On March 16, 2014, The Future of the Mind made number one on The New York Times Bestseller list.

title: Thandi Modise

text:
Thandi Ruth Modise (born 25 December 1959) is a South African politician who is currently serving as the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans. She was previously the Premier of the North West from 2010 to 2014, Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces from 2014 to 2019, and Speaker of the National Assembly from 2019 to 2021.

Modise has been a member of the African National Congress (ANC) since the 1976 Soweto uprising, when she dropped out of high school to join Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the ANC's armed wing, in exile. In 1978 she returned to South Africa as a trained guerrilla operative for MK and from 1980 to 1988 she was imprisoned under the Terrorism Act for her anti-apartheid activism.

She was elected to the South African Parliament in South Africa's first democratic election in 1994. After ten years in the National Assembly, she served as the Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature from 2004 to 2009 before becoming Premier in 2010. She next returned to the executive branch of government in August 2021, when President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed her to replace Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula as Defence Minister.

Modise has also held various senior positions in the ANC, including as Deputy President of the ANC Women's League from 1993 to 2003 under Winnie Madikizela-Mandela; Deputy Secretary-General of the ANC from 2007 to 2012 under Jacob Zuma; and member of the National Executive Committee for several terms, including from 2017 to present.

Early life
Modise was born on 25 December 1959 in Huhudi, a township near Vryburg in what is now the North West province (then the northern part of the Cape province). Her father, Frans Modise, was a railway worker (a stoker) and a member of the African National Congress (ANC), which was banned by the apartheid government the year after Modise's birth. She was the youngest of six children.

Modise was educated at Barolong High School until she dropped out in July 1976 during the Soweto uprising. The student protests were given particular fervor in Huhudi because of the imminent threat that the township would be incorporated into the so-called independent homeland of Bophuthatswana. Later in July, Modise, with some former classmates, fled to Botswana, crossing the border by foot, and joined the ANC in exile.

Umkhonto we Sizwe: 1976–1979
Modise received preliminary political education in Tanzania and then received military training at various Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) camps in Angola and later in Maputo, Mozambique, becoming one of the few women in MK's famous "June 16" detachment. After her training she worked in MK camps as a political commissar, a section commissar, and ultimately a commander. She also sang soprano in a recreational MK choir.

In January 1978, shortly after her 19th birthday, Modise used a false passport to cross the Swazi border into South Africa, where she worked underground as an MK operative. She had received topographical training and her primary task was reconnaissance of potential targets for sabotage and other guerrilla attacks. She was based variously in Johannesburg, in Diepkloof, Soweto, and in Eldorado Park, and she occasionally crossed back into Swaziland to report back to the MK regional command stationed there. Over the course of two days in March 1978, she planted homemade incendiary devices, concealed in matchboxes, inside two OK Bazaars and Edgars stores in Johannesburg.

Detention: 1979–1988
Modise was arrested on 31 October 1979 in Eldorado Park, where she was completing a new MK assignment which involved political mobilisation through a network of underground ANC cells in the area. According to the police, she was arrested on the basis of a tip-off which identified her as a terrorist. She was detained without trial during five months of interrogation at the notorious John Vorster Square. She later told a judge that, though she was pregnant during the first months of her detention, she had been intimidated and assaulted by police officers.

She and her co-accused first appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court in May 1980. Modise faced various charges related to her MK activities between 1976 and 1978, including that she had trained with MK, plotted to commit arson, propagated the aims of the banned ANC, conducted reconnaissance with the intention to commit sabotage, possessed illegal weapons and explosives, and recruited for the ANC. She was convicted of three charges under the Terrorism Act and on 7 November 1980 was sentenced to a total of 16 years' imprisonment – two eight-year sentences run concurrently.

Modise served her full eight-year sentence (less one day) in Pretoria Central Prison, Kroonstad Women's Prison, and Klerksdorp Women's Prison. While in prison, she completed her matriculation certificate and a Bachelor's degree in industrial psychology and economics. She was released in November 1988.

Career in government

Legislatures: 1994–2009
In South Africa's first post-apartheid election in April 1994, Modise was elected to represent the ANC in the National Assembly, the lower house of South Africa's new Parliament. She held her seat until the 2004 general election and during that period, from 1998 onwards, served as chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Defence and Joint Standing Committee on Defence. Subsequently she was Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature from 2004 to 2009. She was also a member of the Robben Island Museum Council from 1994 to 2010.

Premier of the North West: 2010–2014
The Mail & Guardian reported that following the 2009 general election, the North West branch of the ANC supported a proposal to elect Modise as Premier of the North West. Maureen Modiselle was appointed instead – but only until 19 November 2010, when Modise succeeded her as Premier.

Modise was Premier during the Marikana massacre in the North West in 2012. During her tenure, she had an increasingly difficult relationship (which she described in 2011 as "a bit of a headache") with Supra Mahumapelo, then the ANC Provincial Chairperson in the North West and the Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature. She remained in office as Premier until the next general election in 2014, when she was succeeded by Mahumapelo.

NCOP Chairperson: 2014–2019
Pursuant to the 2014 election, Modise was elected unopposed as Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces (NCOP), the upper house of the national Parliament. She held the position throughout the second term of President Jacob Zuma and later said, during a 2021 hearing of the Zondo Commission, that it was "a pity" that she and other parliamentary leaders did not "wake up" to allegations of state capture during Zuma's presidency and therefore did not use Parliament's investigatory powers to their fullest.In 2017, NCOP administrators reportedly advised Modise that she had claimed an excessively large parliamentary travel allowance, calculated using an incorrect formula. She was asked to repay the R125,953 which she had received in excess since 2014. The Sunday Times reported that she was "resisting" this request and disputed the claim that she had been overpaid.
When Supra Mahumapelo resigned as Premier in 2018, it was rumoured that Modise would return to the North West to replace him. Addressing the rumours, Modise said lightheartedly, "If the ANC asks you to do something, you go, but I wish they don’t send me back there"; she ultimately served the full parliamentary term as NCOP Chairperson.

NA Speaker: 2019–2021
Following her term as NCOP Chairperson, Modise was elected to the counterpart position in the National Assembly, becoming the Speaker of the National Assembly after the 2019 general election. In 2021, the Daily Maverick complimented Modise's performance, which it said had helped restore dignity to the assembly's proceedings after years of "destabilising" controversy during Zuma's administration. This assessment received wide assent among parliamentary leaders of the country's opposition parties: the United Democratic Movement's Bantu Holomisa described Modise as "a no-nonsense-taker", while Narend Singh of Inkatha Freedom Party said she had "run a tight ship" and the Democratic Alliance's Natasha Mazzone described her as the legislature's "UN peacekeeping force" and as truly non-partisan. The Business Day agreed that she "exercised a firm grip" over the assembly's sittings.

Defence Minister: 2021–present
On 5 August 2021, President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed Modise to his cabinet as Minister of Defence and Military Veterans. Her appointment was part of a cabinet reshuffle which saw her swap positions with former Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and which was partly intended to reinvigorate the so-called security cluster of ministries following an episode of serious civil unrest.

On the evening of 14 October 2021, Modise was at a hotel in Pretoria when she was held hostage by a group of military veterans calling themselves the Liberation Struggle War Veterans. She was detained with 25 others, including her deputy, Thabang Makwetla, and the Minister in the Presidency, Mondli Gungubele. The veterans demanded a meeting with President Ramaphosa and reparations for their role in the anti-apartheid struggle. After almost three hours, members of the Special Task Force entered the hotel, freeing the hostages and making dozens of arrests. The National Prosecuting Authority charged 53 people with kidnapping and suggested that it might add terrorism-related charges, but in May 2022 the case was withdrawn.

Career in the ANC

ANC Women's League
Modise served as a member of the National Executive Committee of the ANC Women's League from 1991 until December 1993, when she was elected deputy president of the league. She held that position for two terms until 2003. Additionally, towards the end of her second term, in April 2003, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela resigned as ANC Women's League president and Modise stepped in as acting president. Modise subsequently launched a campaign to succeed Madikizela-Mandela permanently, but, in a heated contest, she was defeated in August 2003 by league secretary-general Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, who beat her by 528 votes.

On 16 March 2022, the National Working Committee of the ANC appointed Modise to lead a task team to assess the status of the ANC Women's League ahead of the party's next national elective conference in December 2022. Controversially, Modise recommended that the mainstream party should disband the incumbent leadership of the league, at that time headed by Bathabile Dlamini.

North West "Talibans"
Modise is also a senior member of the mainstream ANC. During her early parliamentary career, she emerged as a key figure in the North West branch of the ANC, particularly as a member of a group which sought to challenge the leadership of longstanding ANC Provincial Chairperson and Premier Popo Molefe. While Molefe's opponents argued that Molefe had failed to act against corruption or to resolve division in the provincial party, academic Andrew Manson suggested that Modise's supporters believed that the political leadership of the North West "ought to be in the hands of people indigenous to the province, i.e. herself and her supporters". During this period, Modise and others, backed by provincial leaders of the ANC Youth League (particularly Supra Mahumapelo), introduced an unsuccessful motion of no confidence in Molefe. The Mahumapelo-led pro-Modise faction was nicknamed "the Talibans", a moniker that was borrowed two decades later by Siboniso Duma's faction in the KwaZulu-Natal ANC.

Ahead of the 2002 North West ANC provincial elective conference, Modise mounted an unsuccessful challenge to Molefe's bid for re-election. Her campaign to become ANC Provincial Chairperson in the North West initially appeared highly successful: she was nominated for the position by four of five regional branches in the province, with only Bojanala region expressing support for Molefe, and she received strong support from the provincial Youth League, from the provincial Women's League, and from senior members of the ANC Provincial Executive Committee. She was also viewed as the favoured candidate of the incumbent national leadership of the party.

However, when the elective conference was held in June 2002 in Rustenberg, Modise lost, winning only 229 votes against Molefe's 355. In the aftermath, the Mail & Guardian reported that she was upset about the way the election had been conducted. Political commentator William Gumede described the conference as "ugly" and adduced, from the "derogatory slogans" shouted at Modise during the conference, that she had lost because she was "seen as [incumbent ANC President Thabo] Mbeki's candidate".

National Executive Committee
Modise was first elected to the ANC's National Executive Committee at the party's 49th National Conference in 1994; by popularity she was ranked 50th of 60 candidates elected. At the next national conference in 1997 she was not re-elected to the committee but was co-opted onto it shortly after the elections. She was returned by election at the 51st National Conference in 2002, ranked 31st of 60.

At the ANC's 52nd National Conference in December 2007, Modise was elected Deputy Secretary-General of the ANC. She was nominated from the floor of the conference when Baleka Mbete, the frontrunner until then, withdrew her name to stand instead for the position of National Chairperson. Modise's candidacy was part of an informal slate aligned to Jacob Zuma, who won the ANC presidency at the same conference, and she comfortably defeated Thoko Didiza for the position, winning 2,304 votes to Didiza's 1,455.

At the conclusion of her term as Deputy Secretary-General, she was nominated for reelection but declined, choosing instead to challenge Mbete, who was running – with Zuma's endorsement – for reelection as National Chairperson. When the election was held at the 53rd National Conference in December 2012, Modise lost, receiving only 939 votes against Mbete's 3,010. She also failed to gain election to an ordinary seat on the National Executive Committee. However, she regained her seat on the committee for another five-year term at the 54th National Conference in December 2017, and she was re-elected at the 55th National Conference in December 2022. There were also rumours that she was a possible candidate to become ANC Deputy President in 2022, and the ANC Women's League supported this proposal, but she did not appear on the ballot paper.

Animal cruelty charges
In July 2014, the NSPCA discovered a number of dead animals, including chickens, pigs, goats and geese, on a farm owned by Modise in Modderfontein outside Potchefstroom. The animals had starved to death and some of the surviving pigs were eating the carcasses of other animals. Modise said that the animals had been abandoned by a caretaker she had hired to monitor the farm while she was attending to her NCOP responsibilities in Cape Town, and she said she was "saddened" by the incident. She also said, "I am not a farmer. I am trying to farm. I am learning. But if you are a woman and you are learning you are not allowed to make mistakes". The Freedom Front Plus said that Modise was a poor example for emerging black farmers.

On behalf of the NSPCA, AfriForum instituted private prosecution against Modise on animal cruelty charges. However, in April 2021, a Potchefstroom court found Modise not guilty, ruling that Modise had not been negligent and that the hired caretaker should be held responsible for the incident.

Personal life
Modise has four children. She gave birth to a daughter named Boingotlo in January 1975 when she was still in high school. A second daughter, Mandisa, was born on 15 February 1980 at Johannesburg Hospital while Modise was being detained by the apartheid police. While Modise was occupied with her MK work, Boingotlo and Mandisa were raised by her mother.

Cysgod Rhyfel, also known as The Shadow of War, is a 2014 documentary film which explores the mental effects of conflict on former soldiers and their families. Predominantly in Welsh, the film was first broadcast on S4C on 18 May 2014. It was directed and produced by John Evans.

Commenting in an interview about the film Evans highlighted his motives for making the documentary when he said "I feel a sense of responsibility and an obligation to highlight the issues surrounding the experience of war and mental health issues faced by veterans…it's vital their stories are heard to help address the time bomb of men and women traumatized by war".

The film specifically addresses PTSD. Ifor ap Glyn was the film's executive producer.

Synopsis
After active service in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan four veterans openly discuss their experiences of conflict and the psychological effects of war on their lives beyond the battlefield and how they live life after their wars and once they return home. The film uses a mixture of talking head testimony, archive and highly stylised dramatic sequences.

title: Udaipur State, Chhattisgarh

text:
Udaipur State was one of the princely states of India during the period of the British Raj. The town of Dharamjaigarh was the former state's capital.

After the Independence of India Udaipur State was merged with the princely states of Raigarh, Sakti, Sarangarh and Jashpur to form the Raigarh district of Madhya Pradesh. Now the district of Raigarh is part of Chhattisgarh state.

Geography
The State of Udaipur was bounded by Surguja State and Jashpur State on its northern side, on the east by Gangpur State and the British Ranchi district, on the south by Raigarh State and on the west by the British Bilaspur district of the Central Provinces. In 1881 the State contained 196 villages and covered an area of 2,732 square km. The total population according to the 1901 Census of India was around 45,000, mostly Hindus.

The state was mostly covered by forested hills of sandstone with carboniferous strata, but the extensive coalfields were not exploited. Gold and iron were also found, but in much smaller quantities. The ranges in the area of the state were relatively low, the highest point being Lotta Hill, reaching an elevation of 640 m. The forests were dense, composed mainly of sāl, mahua, kusum and tendu. The Mand River rises near Girsa in Surguja, draining the southern part of the Mainpat Plateau to the north.

History
Udaipur State was founded in 1818 as an offshoot of Surguja State (Surguja). From 1860 the rulers were Rajputs of the Raksel dynasty. The younger son of Maharaja Amar Singh Deo of Surguja State was granted the rule of Udaipur State. The first Rajput Raksel ruler was Raja Bahadur Bindeshwari Prasad Singh Deo CSI. The family of the Raja is very ancient, and is stated to belong to the Rajputs of the Lunar race. The present ruling family is said to be descended from a Raksel Raja of Palamau. The state became a British protectorate in 1818.

In 1852 the ruler Kalyan Singh and his two brothers Shivraj Sing and Dheeraj Singh, of Rajgond dynasty were accused by the British of murder and were jailed. There was an interregnum during which the state was ruled directly by the British authorities who invoked the doctrine of lapse. Finally in 1860 local rule was restored when Lal Bindeshwari Prasad Singh Deo was granted the rule of Udaipur State by the British for his services in the Sepoy Mutiny. He was succeeded by Swasti Sri Prabal Pratap Udit Pratap Sampanna Sitare Hind Maharajadhiraj Kumar Rajadhiraj Sri Srimant Raja Bahadur Bindeshwari Prasad Singh Deo CSI (1829–1876), ruling chief Udaipur state. The Chief resided at Partabpur, the headquarters of a tract which he held as a maintenance grant in Surguja, and was a ruler of considerable ability and force of character. In 1871 he aided in the suppression of a rebellion in the Keonjhar State, for which he received the thanks of Government, and gifts of an elephant with gold-embroidered trappings and a gold watch and chain. He obtained the title of Raja Bahadur as a personal distinction, and was also made a Companion of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India. The Elder son of the chief succeeded to gaddi Sri Raja Bahadur Dharamjeet Singh Deo and younger son Sri Lal Shaheb Dharampal Singh Deo was granted the estate of Dhourpur. Lal Saheb Dharampal Singh Deo was the Grandson of Maharaja Bahadur Amar Singh Deo of "Surguja State" and younger son of Raja Bindeshwari prasad Singh Deo of Udaipur state (Dharamjaigarh). Dhourpur and Dharamjaigarh were named after both the brother Lal Saheb Dharampal Singh Deo and Raja Bahadur Dharamjeet Singh Deo. Sri Lal Saheb Dhrampal Singh Deo was succeeded by his only son Sri Lal Saheb Chandeshwer Prasad Singh Deo as the head of the jagirdari estate of Dhourpur.

Udaipur was one of the states of the Eastern States Agency. The last ruler of this princely state signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1948.

title: Sophie Scott

text:
Sophie Kerttu Scott  (born 16 November 1966) is a British neuroscientist and Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow at University College London (UCL). Her research investigates the cognitive neuroscience of voices, speech and laughter particularly speech perception, speech production, vocal emotions and human communication. She also serves as director of UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.

Education and early life
Scott was born in Blackburn, England to Colin Mountford Scott and Christine Winnifred Scott. She was educated at Westholme School and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Blackburn. She completed a Bachelor of Science degree in life sciences at the Polytechnic of Central London (now the University of Westminster) in 1990 followed by research on cognitive science in 1993 supervised by Peter Howell and a PhD at University College London in 1994.

Career and research

Scott started her research career in Cambridge at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, formerly known as the Applied Psychology Unit. She returned to UCL as a research fellow in 1998. She was awarded a Wellcome Trust Fellowship in 2001 and has been funded by them since.  she holds a Wellcome Trust Senior Fellowship. She is a member of the British Psychological Society, the Society for Neuroscience, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, and the Experimental Psychology Society.

Scott is head of the Speech Communication Group at UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. Her research investigates the neural basis of vocal communication – how our brains process the information in speech and voices, and how our brains control the production of our voice. Within this, her research covers the roles of streams of processing in auditory cortex, hemispheric asymmetries, and the interaction of speech processing with attentional and working memory factors. Other interests include individual differences in speech perception and plasticity in speech perception, since these are important factors for people with cochlear implants. She is also interested in the expression of emotion in the voice and the neuroscience of laughter.

Public engagement
Scott is known for her public engagement work, including performing standup comedy, and was featured in a September 2013 edition of the BBC Radio Four programme The Life Scientific. In March 2014, she was invited to give a Friday Evening Discourse at the Royal Institution on the science of laughter. Her work on laughter has also toured science fairs and exhibitions as part of the Laughter lab project. She has been awarded a UCL Provost's Award for Public engagement. Scott presented the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in 2017 entitled The Language of Life which explored the topic of communication.

Scott has been a panel guest several times on BBC Radio 4 programme The Infinite Monkey Cage on episodes covering neuroscience, reality and the human voice and in 2016 appeared on the BBC TV series Horizon, The Science of Laughter with comedian Jimmy Carr.

Awards and honours
Scott was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) in 2012. Her citation on election to the Academy of Medical Sciences reads:
In 2015 Scott spoke at the TED conference and was elected a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA) in 2016.

title: Claus Møinichen

text:
Claus Møinichen or Claus á Møinichen (c. 1660 in Copenhagen – probably after 1726) was a Danish painter. He was the son of the Copenhagen surgeon Sixtus Møinichen (1629–1666) and his wife Anna Thiesens.

Little is known about him. He designed ornaments for the edition of the 'kongeloven' published in 1709. He also produced portraits of Frederick IV of Denmark, Kirsten Bille, Berte Skeel and others, as well as producing images of scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses for the king. From 1686 to 1688 he painted the audience chamber at Frederiksborg Castle with scenes from the Scanian War.

He married Cathrine Frederiksdatter Fohlmann before 1703 and the couple had several children. Records show he was still alive in 1726 and – though his date of death is not recorded – he probably died soon after this.

Panathinaikos AC Baseball Team is a Greek baseball club. The current iteration was founded in 2014. Panathinaikos was the first club which organized a baseball game in Greece in 1946.

History

After the end of World War II, Panathinaikos A.O attempted to create new sections in the stadium of Leoforou after they repaired it from the damages of Nazi occupation and placed headlights and the new sports ground at the junction of Queen Sophia and Tsoha. Among the sports that were selected was baseball, basketball and handball.

In April 1946, the USS Missouri sailed into the bay Phalericon. The Missouri had top sporting facilities aboard and  exceptional athletes serving on its crew. Kostas Zogas, a Panathinaikos athlete, organized baseball, basketball and hockey games. On 11 April 1946 the Tennis Avenue hosted the first recorded baseball game in Greece between the American warships Missouri and Providence. The second baseball game in Greece was held on Golf Avenue on June 3, 1955. A team of Americans and Greek soldiers prevailed by a score of 14-10.

The department of Panathinaikos baseball was created in March 2014. The first official appearance of the team was the participation in the Greek Cup games against Aris Baseball Club ArisThessaloniki.

title: Monne

text:
The Monne is a small torrential river that originates in the Puy-de-Dôme, near the col de la Croix-Morand, above the village of Mareuge, at  above sea level. It joins the Veyre at , near Tallende.

Geography
The river is  long. The Monne is part of a hydrographical whole, draining les monts Dore. The system is made up of rivers flowing eastward into the river Allier in the plains of the Limagne. To the south lies le pays des Couzes with, from south: la Couze d'Ardes, la Couze Pavin and la Couze Chambon; beyond flows la Monne and the Veyre. Continuing north one finds other rivers feeding from la chaîne des Domes : l'Auzon, l'Artière and la Tiretaine which flows through Royat and Clermont-Ferrand.

All rivers descending more than  down to about  etch the granitic ridge of la faille des Limagnes +/- deeply from west to east. The most wild and spectacular gorges are those of la Monne located between Olloix and Cournols.

title: Network domain

text:
A network domain is an administrative grouping of multiple private computer networks or local hosts within the same infrastructure. Domains can be identified using a domain name; domains which need to be accessible from the public Internet can be assigned a globally unique name within the Domain Name System (DNS).

A domain controller is a server that automates the logins, user groups, and architecture of a domain, rather than manually coding this information on each host in the domain. It is common practice, but not required, to have the domain controller act as a DNS server. That is, it would assign names to hosts in the network based on their IP addresses.

Example
Half of the staff of Building A uses Network 1, . This network has the VLAN identifier of VLAN 10. The other half of the staff of Building A uses Network 2, . This network has the VLAN identifier of VLAN 20. All of the staff of Building B uses Network 3, . This has the VLAN identifier of VLAN 11.

The router R1 serves as the gateway for all three networks, and the whole infrastructure is connected physically via ethernet. Network 2 and 3 are routed through R1 and have full access to each other.

Network 1 is completely separate from the other two, and does not have access to either of them. Network 2 and 3 are therefore in the same network domain, while Network 1 is in its own network domain, albeit alone.

A network administrator can then suitably name these network domains to match the infrastructure topology.

Usage
Use of the term network domain first appeared in 1965 and saw increasing usage beginning in 1985. It initially applied to the naming of radio stations based on broadcast frequency and geographic area. It entered its current usage by network theorists to describe solutions to the problems of subdividing a single homogeneous LAN and joining multiple networks, possibly constituted of different network architectures.
