title: Caledonian Braves F.C.

text:
Caledonian Braves Football Club is a Scottish semi-professional football club based in North Lanarkshire. They are members of the Lowland Football League, in the fifth tier of the Scottish football league system.

The club originated from Edusport Academy, a residential youth academy for French footballers founded in 2011 and initially based at the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, before relocating to Lesser Hampden in Glasgow in 2015. A second centre based in Edinburgh opened in 2014. From the 2014–15 season onwards, they fielded a team under the Edusport Academy name in Scottish senior football, the only private academy to do so in a recognised senior league. They initially played in the South of Scotland League before winning promotion to the Lowland League in 2017. As Edusport, the senior team played at the Hamilton Palace Sports Ground in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire (2014–2015) and Galabank in Annan, Dumfries and Galloway (2015–2019).

From 2018 onwards, the senior team began to operate separately from the academy after launching a membership scheme, Our Football Club. In 2019 they were rebranded as Caledonian Braves and opened their own Alliance Park ground within Strathclyde Country Park in North Lanarkshire.

History

Academy
The Edusport Academy was founded in 2011 by Chris Ewing with the aim of helping talented young French footballers to develop their skills in football and the English language, and gain opportunities with British professional clubs. Initially, the main training venues were the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, and the Hamilton Palace Sports Ground in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, with English classes taking place at New College Lanarkshire. Edusport expanded in 2014, opening an Edinburgh centre with training at Ainslie Park and education at Edinburgh College. In 2015, they decided to relocate from Motherwell to a new Glasgow base; the Academy now trains at Lesser Hampden with educational classes at City of Glasgow College.

Four women were added to the Edusport Academy programme in 2015. They are based at the Edinburgh centre and will gain senior experience through a partnership with Spartans of the Scottish Women's Premier League.

Senior football
In June 2014, Edusport Academy successfully applied for membership of the semi-professional South of Scotland League in the sixth tier of the Scottish football league system, becoming the first private football academy in the world to operate a team in a FIFA-recognised senior league. They made further Scottish football history in a league match against Creetown in September 2014, when they first fielded a team composed entirely of French nationals. The senior team won two trophies in their first season, the South of Scotland League Cup and the Cree Lodge Cup. They applied to move up a level to the Lowland League in 2015, but their application was rejected.

Edusport Academy won the 2016–17 South of Scotland League title to gain promotion to the Lowland League in the fifth tier of Scottish football. In February 2018, Ewing announced plans to separate the senior team from the academy and attract a fanbase by launching a new online membership scheme, Our Football Club. Members will have voting and decision-making powers, including a say on choosing a new name, crest and colours for the team. They will be able to recommend potential signings, but will have no say on team selection. Ewing stated at the launch of the project that his aim was to reach the Scottish Premiership by 2025.

At the start of the 2019–20 season Edusport Academy rebranded the club as the Caledonian Braves following a vote online by members of the Our Football Club.com project.

Stadium

For the first season, South of Scotland League home matches were played at the Hamilton Palace Sports Ground in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. From 2015 onwards, the team groundshared with Annan Athletic at their Galabank stadium in Annan, Dumfries and Galloway. From the start of the 2019–20 Lowland League season, the team play at Alliance Park, their own purpose-built facility at Bothwellhaugh in Strathclyde Country Park near Motherwell, North Lanarkshire. The name of the ground, which was voted for by more than 90% of Our Football Club members, was chosen to reflect the unity between the French and Scottish elements of the club.

title: Wonder Where We Land

text:
Wonder Where We Land is the second studio album from British producer SBTRKT. It was released on 7 October 2014 through Young Turks.

Background

For Wonder Where We Land, SBTRKT aimed to expand the concept of the SBTRKT identity belonging to one person by diverging from the club-inspired and minimal approach of SBTRKT's first album. In order to achieve this, SBTRKT brought in a larger array of singers and musicians and conducted sessions in the USA and the UK, notably Osea, a remote island of the coast of Essex. SBTRKT and SBTRKT's visual collaborator, A Hidden Place chose to visually reflect this expansion of the SBTRKT identity by depicting the concept of SBTRKT as an unknown quadrupedal masked creature on the artwork of this album.

The record is dedicated to SBTRKT's older brother, Daniel, who died from cancer during the album's creation.

Critical reception

Wonder Where We Land received mostly positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 71, based on 21 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".

title: Stephen Henty

text:
Stephen George Henty (3 November 1811 – 18 December 1872) was a farmer and politician in colonial Victoria, a member of the Victorian Legislative Council.

Henty was born in West Tarring, Sussex, England, the son of Thomas Henty (1775–1839) and Frances Elizabeth, née Hopkins.

Henty arrived at the Swan River settlement with brothers James and John in 1829. In 1836 Stephen settled in Portland.

In 1839, Henty led an overland expedition to explore the Mount Gambier region. He was the first white man to climb the peak and view the blue crater lake. In 1842, Henty and his brother Edward laid claim to the land around Mount Gambier and established a sheep station there. Conflict with the local Aboriginal residents quickly ensued that same year with Henty's men shooting a number and burning their corpses. In March 1844, a band of Aboriginal people led by Koort Kirrup took a large number of Henty's sheep. Henty's men pursued and engaged them in a prolonged skirmish which resulted in the colonists having to retreat. The Southern Australian reported that other white pastoralists in the region were also having difficulties with Aboriginal attacks on their farmsteads and they resolved to form hunting parties and raid them "indiscriminately" if police protection did not come. The situation proved too hard for Stephen Henty, and even though Koort Kirrup was captured, Henty abandoned the Mount Gambier property later in 1844 with significant loss of capital.

In November 1856, Henty was elected to the Victorian Legislative Council for Western Province, a position he held until November 1870. For much of the period of Henty's Council membership, he and his family lived at Findon a mansion he built in Kew Melbourne.

Family
Stephen George Henty married Barbara Whilemena Bayntun–Sandys (1806–1891), daughter of Sir Edwin Bayntun–Sandys, Bart. Their children include:
Richmond Henty (August 1837 – April 1904) was born in Portland, Victoria, and is reckoned either the first or second white child born in Victoria. Richmond married his cousin Agnes Barbara Reed (c. 1837 – 9 September 1895), granddaughter of Sir E. Bayntun–Sandys; they had three sons and one daughter:
Ernest George Henty MLC (17 September 1862 – 25 June 1895) married Katie Cobham on 12 June 1890
Eulalie Henty ( – ) married Lieut. R. C. Ferrers Creer, RAN, on 15 June 1917 (divorced 1925). Their elder daughter Deirdre Henty-Creer (1918–2012) was a successful artist, while their son Henty Henty-Creer commanded one of the three midget submarines that attacked the German battleship  in World War II.
Eveline Henty married Capt. E. C. Starker in August 1888
Percival Edward Henty (c. 1867 – 26 March 1889)
George Henty ( – ) lived in Hamilton, Victoria

title: XFree86 Modeline

text:
A mode line may also refer to a line for the Emacs and Vim editors that provides information about the file and modes.

A modeline is a configuration line in xorg.conf or the XFree86 configuration file (XF86Config) that provides information to the display server about a connected computer monitor or television and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. The Modeline is based on the Generalized Timing Formula or the Coordinated Video Timings standards produced by VESA.

Modelines are now rarely used, but XFree86 and the Xorg Server still allow them to be set should the EDID information be inadequate.

Syntax
Each modeline has ten parameters, beginning with a label for the resolution being specified. The second parameter specifies the rate of the pixel clock in megahertz.  Then follow four numbers that together specify the x-resolution (width) and related parameters, and four numbers that specify the y-resolution (height).

 Modeline syntax:
 Flags (optional):
Modeline "1600x1200" 155   1600 1656 1776 2048   1200 1202 1205 1263
#           (Label) (clk)     (x-resolution)        (y-resolution)
#                     |
#              (pixel clock in MHz)
Or, the modeline can be split into multiple lines for greater clarity
Modeline "1600x1200"  155  1600 1656 1776 2048
                           1200 1202 1205 1263
The horizontal and vertical frequencies can be calculated by:

  (field rate)
For interlace mode, (frame rate)=(field rate)/2, otherwise (frame rate)=(field rate).

The numbers after the width and height are used to determine the front porch, sync pulse, and back porch timings. The resulting refresh rate or frame rate of the display can be determined by dividing the pixel clock frequency by the product of the horizontal and vertical field lengths. In this case, the display is operating at  Hz.

Optionally, extra parameters for controlling the polarity of the horizontal and vertical sync pulses can be added. There are also options for interlaced and double scan modes. In most situations they will not be required.

Obsolescence
Modelines may no longer be necessary in XFree86 versions 4 and higher, since for many monitors and HDTVs they are now calculated by the X server at startup based on two factors:
 other, more generic and intuitive, settings in the server configuration file
 monitor capabilities acquired via an EDID query

EDID is not always completely accurate, and for some situations such as older or unusual display hardware or many HDTVs, it will be necessary to create a modeline to get the setting right. The EDID information can be obtained by using the command "" and looking at /var/log/XFree86.0.log.

title: Deuterated drug

text:
A deuterated drug is a small molecule medicinal product in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms contained in the drug molecule have been replaced by its heavier stable isotope deuterium. Because of the kinetic isotope effect, deuterium-containing drugs may have significantly lower rates of metabolism, and hence a longer half-life.

Mode of action
Hydrogen is a chemical element with an atomic number of 1. It has just one proton and one electron. Deuterium is the heavier naturally occurring, non-radioactive, stable isotope of hydrogen. Deuterium was discovered by Harold Urey in 1931, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1934. The deuterium isotope effect has become an important tool in the  elucidation of the mechanism of chemical reactions. Deuterium contains one proton, one electron, and a neutron, effectively doubling the mass of the deuterium isotope without changing its properties significantly. However, the C–D bond is a bit shorter, and it has reduced electronic polarizability and less hyperconjugative stabilization of adjacent bonds, including developing an anti-bonding orbital as part of the newly formed bond. This can potentially result in weaker van der Waals stabilization, and  can produce other changes in properties that are difficult to predict, including changes in the intramolecular volume and the transition state volume. Substituting deuterium for hydrogen yields deuterated compounds that are similar in size and shape to hydrogen-based compounds.

History
The concept of replacing hydrogen with deuterium is an example of bioisosterism, whereby similar biological effects to a known drug are produced in an analog designed to confer superior properties. The first patent in the US granted for deuterated molecules was in the 1970s. Since then patents on deuterated drugs have become more common.

The applications of the deuterium isotope effect has increased over time, and it is now applied extensively in mechanistic studies of the metabolism of drugs as well as other studies focused on pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, tolerability, bioavailability, and safety. The introduction of deuterated drug candidates that began in the 1970s evolved from earlier work with deuterated metabolites. However, it took more than 40 years for the first deuterated drug, Austedo® (deutetrabenazine), to be approved by the FDA. Numerous publications have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of deuterated drugs
A number of publications have discussed aspects of intellectual property of deuterated versions of drugs.

Examples

Deutetrabenazine is a deuterated version of tetrabenazine. It was developed by Teva and approved by the FDA in 2017 as a treatment for chorea associated with Huntington's disease; it has a longer half life than the non-deuterated form of tetrabenazine, which had been approved earlier for the same use.

Deucravacitinib is a deuterated JAK inhibitor (specifically, TYK2 inhibitor) approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis.

Concert Pharmaceuticals focuses on deuterated drugs for various conditions.

The company Retrotope discovered and has been developing a deuterated fatty acid RT001 as a treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Friedreich's ataxia and infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy. Their premise is that fatty acids in cell membranes are a source of reactive oxygen species and deuterated versions will be less prone to generating them.

Poxel SA, a French clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on therapies for rare metabolic diseases, is developing PXL065 to target non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The company acquired PXL065, the deuterium-stabilitized (R)-enantiomer of pioglitazone, from DeuteRx, LLC, in 2018, and announced positive results from the Phase 2 trial in March 2023.

title: Dumfries YMCA F.C.

text:
Dumfries YMCA Football Club are a football club from the town of Dumfries in Scotland. They originally competed in the Dumfries & District Amateur Football League (DDAFL) prior to its disbanding before switching to the South of Scotland Football League for the 2014–15 season.  Home matches are played at Dumfries High School in Dumfries.

History
Dumfries YMCA FC started off in the early 1970s, playing in the youth leagues in their local area of Dumfries and Galloway. It wasn't until 1976 that the decision was made for the club to enter a team in to the DDAFL's League Division 2. Within a few seasons, in 1981, the club achieved promotion to League Division 1, the top flight of the DDAFL, and remained there until the league disbanded in 2013.

After that promotion in 1981, the club went on to win 6 League Division 1 titles within a ten-year period. The first of which came in 1984 and the last of which came in 1993. Those 6 titles rank as 4th in the all-time list of DDAFL League Division 1 winners. The club have also finished as league runners-up a total of 7 times to date.

After the DDAFL disbanded, the club entered their team in the South of Scotland Football League, where they continue to compete. They have yet to hit the heights of the team of the 1980s, failing to win a competition since the 2011/12 season.

Dumfries YMCA withdrew from the South of Scotland League midway through the 2019-20 season.

Home Ground and Club Colours
The club's official home ground is MacLeod Pavilion at Kingholm Quay but they play all home matches on a 4G surface at the nearby Dumfries High School.

The club's home kits are all-red with white trim and their away kits are all-blue with white trim.

title: Pinnata Castra

text:
Pinnata Castra (Ancient Greek: Πτερωτον Στρατοπεδον, Pteroton Stratopedon) was a settlement located in the north of the island of Great Britain, featuring in Ptolemy's 2nd century Geography as one of the four places listed as belonging to the Vacomagi tribe. It is also included as Pinnatis in the Ravenna Cosmography.

Name and status
The site was originally referred to by Ptolemy in Ancient Greek as Πτερωτον Στρατοπεδον, which means "Winged Camp". This has been translated back into Latin as Pinnata Castra or sometimes Alata Castra, and was referred to in the locative case as Pinnatis in the Ravenna Cosmography.

Pinnata Castra is listed by Ptolemy as a polis or town. It is uncertain whether the site was a native stronghold or one built by the Romans, who had a preference for locating their sites close to established native sites and giving them names related to the earlier settlements. No purely native settlement is known to have been named by Ptolemy in southern Britain, but such settlements are listed in unoccupied Ireland. Most Roman sites in the north of Britain were not permanent forts but temporary marching camps, which were not normally given names, though it is possible that such a camp could have been given a name as the planned sites of a future fort.

Location
Pinnata Castra has most often been connected with Burghead Fort in modern-day Moray, but its location has been the subject of considerable debate. The archaeologist Ian Richmond identified it in 1922 on placename and archaeological grounds with the Roman legionary fortress at Inchtuthill north of modern-day Perth, which he excavated and believed to have been constructed with merlons, which he translated into Latin as pinnae. This theory was supported in 1949 by O. G. S. Crawford, and is still the identification given by Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Later scholars have rejected this suggestion, pointing out that Ptolemy's coordinates clearly place Pinnata Castra on the Moray coast, a conclusion further supported by the fact that both Ptolemy and the Ravenna Cosmography place Pinnata Castra near Tuesis, which is generally identified with the River Spey.

Plotting the location of known sites in Ptolemy's Geography and adopting relative locations for unknown sites suggests that Pinnata Castra was located just to the east of Burghead. A precursor of the later Pictish fort at Burghead itself remains a strong candidate for the site, but alternative suggestions have included Inverness; the possible Roman camps at Thomshill near Elgin, or Balnageith near Forres; or a lost site within Culbin Sands.

Pinnata Castra was one of the four points within Britain that provided Ptolemy with astronomical data, with its longest day being recorded at 18.5 hours, compared to the 17 hours recorded at London, making it the furthest point north at which readings were taken. Its status as the northernmost polis listed suggests it marked the northern limit of the advance of the Roman army of Agricola, from whom Ptolemy is considered to have ultimately derived his data.

title: Millennium Ecosystem Assessment

text:
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) is a major assessment of the human impact on the environment, called for by the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2000, launched in 2001 and published in 2005 with more than $14 million of grants. It popularized the term ecosystem services, the benefits gained by humans from ecosystems.

History
During the 1990s, international conventions such as the UNEP Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention to Combat Desertification identified the need for a global scientific ecosystem assessment. There had been advances in resource economics with little effect on environmental policy.
In November 1998, UNEP, NASA, and the World Bank published a study called "Protecting our Planet, Securing our Future: Linkages Among Global Environmental Issues and Human Needs".
In 2001, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment was launched with work over a period of four years. Over 1300 contributors from 95 countries were involved as authors.

Funding
In May 2000 the Global Environment Facility approved a $7 million grant, followed in July 2000 by a United Nations Foundation $4 million grant and financial support from the government of Norway for the first meeting of the Board of the MA in Trondheim, and in December 2000 a $2.4 million grant by the Packard Foundation for a total of more than $13.4 million, considered "75% of the full budget".

Findings
The MA was published in 2005 and made four main assessments:
 Over the past 50 years, humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable period of time in human history, largely to meet rapidly growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fiber and fuel. This has resulted in a substantial and largely irreversible loss in the diversity of life on Earth.
 The changes to ecosystems have contributed to substantial net gains in human well-being and economic development, but these gains have been achieved at growing costs in the form of the degradation of many ecosystem services, increased risks of nonlinear changes, and the exacerbation of poverty for some groups of people. These problems, unless addressed, will substantially diminish the benefits that future generations obtain from ecosystems.
 The degradation of ecosystem services could grow significantly worse during the first half of this century and is a barrier to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
 The challenge of reversing the degradation of ecosystem while meeting increasing demands for services can be partially met under some scenarios considered by the MA, but will involve significant changes in policies, institutions and practices that are not currently under way. Many options exist to conserve or enhance specific ecosystem services in ways that reduce negative trade-offs or that provide positive synergies with other ecosystem services.

The bottom line of the MA findings has been that human actions are depleting Earth’s natural capital, putting such strain on the environment that the ability of the planet’s ecosystems to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted. At the same time, the assessment shows that with appropriate actions it is possible to reverse the degradation of many ecosystem services over the next 50 years, but the changes in policy and practice required are substantial and not currently underway.

Legacy
In 2008, a report calculated that the world's richest countries caused environmental damage to developing nations at more than the entire developing world debt of $1.8 trillion.

title: Abdolreza Jamilian

text:
Abdolreza Jamilian (; born 1965) is an Iranian orthodontist and a USPTO patent holder for devices including a method and system for treatment of maxillary deficiency using miniscrews, a tongue plat, and an R-appliance.

Biography and education
Abdolreza Jamilian was born in Arak in 1965. He received his doctor of dental surgery degree (D.D.S.) from Shahid Beheshti University of medical sciences in 1991 and orthodontics degree in 1998. He also received his fellowship of orthognathic surgery and craniofacial syndromes from the same university in 2011.

Jamilian is a member of the Iranian and European Board of Orthodontics, and known for his innovations in designing therapeutic modalities for class III malocclusion patients.

Innovative treatment
Class III malocclusion is considered to be one of the most difficult and complex orthodontic problems to treat for 12 year old patients or younger. This malocclusion is characterized by mandibular prognathism, maxillary deficiency or both. In subjects with maxillary deficiency where the mandible is not markedly affected treatment may involve stimulation and guidance of maxillary growth by orthopedic forces. Various types of orthodontic headgear, such as facemasks and reverse pull headgears have been used to correct maxillary deficiency; however, these extra-oral appliances have some unpleasant side-effects including the fear of being mocked by one's peers due to the bulky size of these appliances and causing downward and backward rotations of mandible which pulls the upper jaw backwards into the airway of a growing child.

In the method invented by Jamilian, maxillary deficiency is corrected with the help of self-drilling titanium alloy miniscrews and class III elastics. Miniscrews are much smaller than bulky facemasks and this may increase patient's compliance.

The method is not researched in vitro or in vivo, by Dr. Jamilian or any independent researchers. The efficiency of this proposed method is not verified yet.

title: Fundación Aladina

text:
Fundación Aladina is a Spanish nonprofit organization founded in 2005, whose aim is to make sure that children fighting against cancer never lose their smiles. Aladina also works with the families to make the long stays at the hospital more comfortable. The organization´s main goal is to help the children and their families through three integral means of support: emotional, material and psychological.

The main project of the foundation has been the creation of a Bone Marrow Transplant center. It is the number one center in Spain and is located in the Hospital Infantil Universitario Niño Jesús and admits many patients every year at national level. The organization is working on the renovation of the ICU in the Niño Jesus Hospital.

History
In the year 2001, Paco Arango, creator and producer of the series ¡Ala... Dina!, began working in the Hospital Niño Jesús as a volunteer in the Oncology section. He comments on his experience, sharing that:

Through this experience and with the potential promise of being able to meet specific needs of the patients and their families, he decided to start Fundación Aladina in the year 2005 in the Hospital Niño Jesús.

In 2013, they created the Maktub Center in the same hospital, opening up the possibility of extending their reach to other hospitals in Madrid with different Volunteer programs that also offered material and psychological help for the patients with cancer. Since then, different programs have been developed in various hospitals throughout Spain, reaching more than 1,200 patients every year. Thanks to their work, they have received many acknowledgements and prizes.

Aladina´s ICU in the Niño Jesus Hospital

Launched in February 2016, the campaign is already underway to raise the 1,300,000€ needed for the renovation to take place. Part of the campaign includes sending a text to donate money to the project.

The remodel will include 14 beds with robotic arms, 6 private units, and will give control over natural and artificial light while being energy efficient. This project is being realized through the "Achuchón" campaign, which began in February 2016. In spanish achuchón means both hug and push, and their campaign slogan is to give an "achuchón" for the new ICU at the hospital, meaning to give both a hug but also a push in the direction on the renovation.

Maktub Center
In February 2013, Fundación Aladina inaugurated the Maktub Center, which had been the most ambitious project until the launch of their latest campaign to renovate the entire ICU at the Niño Jesus Hospital. In the first twelve months at the Maktub center there were 63 transplants.

Maktub Center cost more than €500,000. It has been designed as a center in which patients can feel comfortable, as the atmosphere is ideal for their recovery during the long periods of time they must spend here.

The project was mainly financed by the benefits received from the movie Maktub, which was directed and produced by the president, Paco Arango, as well as with the collaboration of other organizations and individuals who decided to support this important project.

Regional Mothers-Milk Bank Aladina-MGU

Apart from all the reforms made for patients with cancer, the foundation has also reformed the Mothers Milk Bank of the Hospital Doce de Octubre. It is the first bank of this type in all the peninsula and has been fully functioning since 2007. Up to the date of the reform, it was equipped with a system that could provide 600 liters of breast milk every year for children that couldn't be breast fed by their mothers. Once the reform was done, the hospital was prepared with a regional bank, allowing them to give out 2,000 liters of breast milk to all the Community of Madrid

Gun laws in the Northern Mariana Islands regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. As the Northern Mariana Islands is a commonwealth of the United States, many federal laws apply, as well as Constitutional rulings and protections.

Summary table

History

Weapons Control Act
The CNMI gradually became part of the United States, effective in 1976, 1978, and 1986. Pub. L. 94-241, Act of March 24, 1976.

The Weapons Control Act had been enacted by the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, 63 TTC §§ 551 et seq., before the CNMI joined the U.S.

Under this law, all firearms—including automatic weapons, semi-automatic assault weapons, and handguns—were prohibited from civilian possession. Civilians could only own .410 shotguns and .22 calibre rifles with a license. They also could only own ammunition for those types of firearms with a license; possession of any other type of ammunition, whether the person had a license or not, was illegal.

In the year 2000, House Floor Leader Oscar M. Babauta sponsored a bill that would amend the Weapons Control Act to allow the use of firearms on shooting resorts. Proponents of the bill stated that it would lure investors while detractors of the bill worried it would harm public safety. The House approved the bill on a narrow vote.

Radich v. Deleon Guerrero
In 2014, David J. Radich, a U.S. Navy Gulf War veteran, and his wife Li-Rong Radich sued James C. Deleon Guerrero, then the commissioner of the Department of Public Safety (DPS), for violating their right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The judge, Ramona V. Manglona, decided the case in favor of the Radiches on March 28, 2016, and decreed that the NMI ban on handguns and ammunition was unconstitutional. The ruling also overturned the ban on importation of handguns and handgun ammunition, the implicit ban on receiving a weapons identification card for self-defense purposes, and the ban on lawful permanent residents obtaining a weapons identification card.

The Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) of Tanapag Middle School attempted a motion to intervene on the case's ruling because they believed it would endanger students. Judge Manglona rejected the motion, stating that the older gun control laws had been repealed, thus rendering their motion moot. The Tanapag PTSA took its appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Special Act for Firearms and Enforcement (SAFE)
In response to the Radich decision, in early April, CNMI Governor Ralph Torres approved gun-control legislation which imposed a $1,000 excise tax on handguns and established certain gun-free zones on the islands. This legislation became known as the Special Act for Firearms and Enforcement, or SAFE Act, N.M.I. Pub. L. 19-42 (April 11, 2016).

Murphy v. Deleon Guerrero
In a lawsuit, U.S. Army veteran and teacher Paul Murphy challenged the constitutionality of the $1000 excise tax on handguns; the requirement that he obtain a license and register his weapons; the restrictions on how he may store his weapons at home; the ban on large capacity magazines; the ban on rifles in calibers above .223; the ban on "assault weapons"; and the ban on transporting operable firearms.

On September 28, 2016, Judge Manglona ruled the following provisions as unconstitutional:
 $1000 excise tax
 Registration requirement
 Ban on calibers above .223
 Assault weapons ban
 Transportation (and open carry) of operable firearms ban

The following provisions were upheld:
 Licensing requirements
 Firearms storage restrictions
 Large capacity magazines ban

These court rulings are reflected in SAFE II, N.M.I. Pub. L. 19-73 (December 1, 2016), the revised version of the SAFE Act. Open carry of a loaded handgun without a permit in public is allowed as long as areas such as gun free zones are not violated. Concealed carry is banned.

Handgun Prohibition Revival Act
Following the Radich decision, which invalidated the handgun ban, and Murphy decision, which invalidated additional restrictions, the CNMI legislature passed a symbolic law that expressed their disapproval of the Radich decision. Additionally, the law said that if the Radich decision were to be overturned or otherwise rendered unbinding, the handgun ban is to be reinstated automatically.

He sold 300 million albums, recorded 30 albums, 79 singles 126 ep's, 11 compilations and about 1,000 songs in different languages (English, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, German, Irish and Spanish).

Inspired by American pop and jazz in the style of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Andy Williams. He recorded international hits such as "Blue, bland, blond", "L'amour ça fait passer le temps", "Ballade pour l'espagnol", "Le plus beau tango du monde" and "Cathy, fais-moi danser". His famous song entitled "Un Mexicain" reached number 1 on the charts in France.

First years
Born in Bordeaux on 1 April 1929, son of Modeste Miramon, employee of the railways, and Romélie Lamazou, nurse. He doubted, after the baccalaureate, between the chair of physical education and the Conservatory of dramatic art. The comedy, and finally the song, will prevail over the sport. After having toured the arts of Bordeaux, he "got up" in Paris in the late 1950s, where he made his name little by little in most cabarets of the two banks (Villa d'Este, Fontaine des 4 saisons, etc. ). From a young age he was fond of jazz and pop music.

Beginnings
In 1951, Marcel Amont decided to try his luck in Paris and became famous performing in several cabarets. For many years, Marcel Upstream enchainer such benefits before 1956 to secure the first parts of Edith Piaf, allowing it to quickly become the revelation of the year and his first public recording, which allows him to get the novel Grand Prix de Novela the French Academy of Charles Cros. A success that opens the doors of the cinema, and will become with Brigitte Bardot in The bride is too beautiful.

1956 is the miraculous year. At the Olympia, he was cut in the first part of Edith Piaf: first hired as a "supplement to the program," a sacred "revelation of the year" and finished five weeks later in second place on the poster. Encouraged by this success in public, he recorded his first album in public and receives the Price of the Académie Charles-Cros in the company of Serge Gainsbourg and Juliette Gréco and, in the process, debut in the cinema with Brigitte Bardot in the bride is too beautiful. We often see Marcel Amont in the famous television show 36 chandelles.

Through his appearances in the films La mariée est trop belle (1956), together with Brigitte Bardot and La conduite à gauche (1961), Marcel acquires a great reputation in France.

Amont signed a record contract with Polydor Records in that same year when he released his first single Escamillo. In 1957 he released his first album entitled Marcel Amont and in Bleu, Blanc, Blond.

International career
At the beginning of the 1960s, Amont would develop a prolific career getting more than 5 gold albums and achieve successes such as «Les Bleuets d'Azur» and «Le balayeur du roy». He also recorded his success which was sold in 80 million copies «Dans le coeur de ma blonde» in 1961.

The following year he popularized the song composed by Charles Aznavour, "Un mexicain" which also reached number one in France. From that moment on, the public knew him as the most prolific singer in the Francophone world, although he was behind Charles Aznavour and Gilbert Bécaud.

In that same year in 1962, he offered his first solo exhibition to Bobino for 3 and a half months, he sold out; In addition to his own texts, he creates several songs signed by Claude Nougaro (Le Balayeur du Roy, Penholder, Tango of Twins, Le Jazz et la Java). He made his first tour in 1963 in Luxembourg in concert. Immediately released another album Fantaisie Sur Des Airs D 'Opérettes with 14 songs.

In 1965, he returned to Olympia for five weeks. Very noticeable innovation: in its staging, it evolved around it with dancers. He would continue to record 45rpm records until 1969. On 1 October 1967, he hosted the first color television show in the history of French television (Amont Tour).

Success
In the 1970s he changed his record label CBS Records and released his first album titled Amont-Tour. In 1970, at the Olympia, always in the company of his dancers and choristers, he surrounds himself with specialists and uses giant screens for certain staging. The success is such that the show lasts 5 weeks. Then he embodies the dynamic, smiling and light young singer, the scenic and popular repertoire. He is preparing a musical and, for this reason, rejects the offers of a US producer and the BBC.

It comes out with another North American version entitled "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and in French called "Femme jolie on te yeux", the French version was composed by himself since he was also a songwriter. He participated in numerous variety shows in the 60s and 70s, especially those of Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier. In 1974, he is the host of the Sunday show Toutankhamont.

The following year Amont released another success that was sold in 50 million copies entitled "L'amour ça fait passer le temps" in 1971.

Like many leading artists of the 1960s and 1970s, the 1980s are hard on the French media plan, but for more than two decades, the very visual nature of their art opened the doors to the outdoors (touring Japan, Russia, recital at the Gould Foundation of San Francisco, Studio One in Rome for one year, etc.).

Amont puts to the music two texts by Georges Brassens (A Little Eva in excess, The Old Fossil), which he had awarded in 1976 «Le chapeau de Mireille».

title: Islamia trichoniana

text:
Islamia trichoniana is a species of small freshwater snail with a gill and an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Hydrobiidae.

Geographic distribution
I. trichoniana is endemic to Greece, where it is restricted to Lake Trichonida, an ancient, deep, oligotrophic lake in the south Adriatic-Ionian region of the country.

Conservation status
This species is currently classified by the IUCN as critically endangered and possibly extinct. While it was once found throughout Lake Trichonida, it is currently known from only one location on the northeast shore of the lake. It is threatened by habitat destruction, as intensive agricultural practices in the neighbouring area lead to water pollution and eutrophication of the lake and the excessive abstraction of water for irrigation purposes causes a drop in water level.

title: ZNF469

text:
Zinc finger protein 469 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF469 gene.

Function

This gene encodes a zinc-finger protein. Low-percent homology to certain collagens suggests that it may function as a transcription factor or extra-nuclear regulator factor for the synthesis or organization of collagen fibers. Mutations in this gene cause brittle cornea syndrome.

Clinical significance

Mutations in ZNF469 are associated to keratoconus. as well as a type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome called brittle cornea syndrome.

title: Eucalyptus aromaphloia

text:
Eucalyptus aromaphloia, commonly known as Creswick apple-box, scented bark or scent-bark, is a species of plant in the myrtle family that is endemic to Victoria. It is a tree with rough, densely fibrous bark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped or curved adult leaves, oval to spindle-shaped flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and conical to hemispherical fruit.

Description
Eucalyptus aromaphloia is a tree that grows to a height of  and forms a lignotuber. It has thick, rough, dark grey fibrous bark on its trunk and branches, with smooth salmon pink bark on the thinnest branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have oblong to elliptic leaves  long,  wide tapering to a short petiole. Adult leaves are lance-shaped or curved,  long,  wide on a petiole  long.

The flowers are arranged in unbranched groups of seven in leaf axils on a peduncle  long, the individual buds on a pedicel usually up to  long. The mature buds are green with a red tinge, oval to spindle-shaped,  long,  wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs in winter and the flowers are white. The fruit is cup-shaped to hemispherical,  long and  wide.  The leaves are dark green on both sides, with prominent veins. Flowering occurs from January to March and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, conical to hemispherical capsule  long and  wide.

Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus aromaphloia was first formally described in 1954 by Lindsay Pryor and James Willis from a specimen collected on Mount Langi-Ghiran near Ararat. The description was published in The Victorian Naturalist. The specific epithet (aromaphloia) is derived from the Ancient Greek words aroma meaning "smell" or "spice" and phloios meaning "bark", referring to the smell of the bark. Pryor and Willis noted that the bark is "always very aromatic (when rubbed or crushed)" but other authors remark that "no exceptional small can be detected in the bark, and the common name "scent bark" is misleading."

In 1996 Ian Brooker and Andrew Slee informally noted E. aromaphloia subsp. sabulosa, but that name has since been referred to E. sabulosa.

Distribution
Creswick apple-box grows in flat or slightly undulating areas of open forest. It occurs from near Malmsbury west to the Grampians and south-west to Ballarat and the Brisbane Ranges National Park with a disjunct population near Anglesea.

title: Mihail Formuzal

text:
Mihail Formuzal (born 7 November 1959) is a Moldovan politician of Gagauz ethnicity, who was the governor of the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia from December 2006 to March 2015.

Early life and career
Mihail Formuzal was born on 7 November 1959, in Beșghioz, Ceadîr-Lunga, in what is now Gagauzia, into a large family of peasants. After graduating from elementary schools (1966–1977) of his native village, in 1977 he was enrolled in the military service, within the Soviet Navy.

In 1979, he joined the Frunze Higher Artillery Military School in Odessa (now the Odesa Military Academy) and graduated from it in 1983. He then worked for the Soviet Armed Forces in various leading positions and in November 1994, he resigned having the military rank of major.

Gagauz politics
In 1995, Formuzal became Deputy Mayor of Ceadîr-Lunga. Between 1995 and 1998 he studied at Academy of Public Administration of the Government of Republic of Moldova.

In 1995 he was elected deputy mayor, and in 1999 Formuzal was elected as Mayor of Ceadîr-Lunga, later in 2003 being re-elected.

Mihail Formuzal had run for governor on 6 October 2002, but because of low turnout (of only 41.43% of voters) the elections were invalidated. He participated in a new round of elections on 20 October 2002. In this elections, Gheorghe Tabunşcic won 50.99% of the votes, being elected as a governor, and Mihail Formuzal obtained 43.22% of the votes.

Shortly, after Formuzal became the main rival of the PCRM's (Communist Party of the Republic of Moldova) candidate at the governor's election in 2002, a series of persecutions were initiated against Formuzal, 8 criminal cases for alleged economic crimes (corruption), committed as mayor of Ceadîr-Lunga were opened. He rejected the accusations as politically motivated.

In 2005, he became a member of the Republican Popular Party, and then, elected as a president of the Republican Council of the Party. He is the leader of the "Gagauzia Unita" Public Movement, a promoter of the most vehement and acute criticism addressed to the Communists Party of the Republic of Moldova and President Voronin. The Republican Popular Party accused the government of the Republic of Moldova of that time for usurping the state power.

Elections of 3 December 2006
On 3 December 2006, the new elections were held for the governor post of the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia. These were due to the expiring of the four-year mandate of the Governor Gheorghe Tabunşcic. In the electoral race for the governor position there were registered four independent candidates: Gheorghe Tabunşcic, the actual governor, Alexandru Stoianoglo, the Deputy General Prosecutor of the Republic of Moldova, Nicolai Dudoglo, the Mayor of Comrat, and Mihail Formuzal, the Mayor of Ceadâr-Lunga.

In this election, Formuzal was supported by the pro-Russia parties alliance such as Ravnopravie-Patria Rodina. In the election campaign, Formuzal pledged to open commercial, economic and cultural representations of Gagauzia in Turkey, Russia, Bulgaria and Ukraine and to implement a project called "Bringing home the compatriots", targeting the Gagauz citizens who work abroad.
Formuzal insisted to stipulate in the Constitution the Gagauzia's right to self-determination if the Republic of Moldova would in some way lose its status as a subject of international law.

In the first round of elections, on 3 December 2006, Mihail Formuzal and Nicolai Dudoglo accumulated 33.89% and 31.40% respectively of votes. At the second round held on 17 December 2006, the mayor of Ceadir-Lunga, Mihail Formuzal, won the election and became the bashkan (governor of Gagauzia with 56.23% of the votes.

Governor of Gagauzia
On 19 December 2006, Mihail Formuzal, the elected governor of Gagauzia, said that he intends to work constructively with the central authorities from Chișinău, which have been criticized several times during the campaign. Formuzal also mentioned that he will not criticize or blame his predecessors, but will end all the projects started during their mandate.

According to the legislation in force, after the announcement of the final official results by the Central Electoral Committee of Gagauzia, the mandate of the new governor must be validated by the Comrat Court of Appeal. Subsequently, by presidential decree, the new governor must be appointed as a member of the Government. Therefore, after almost four years of absence, a representative of the opposition has appeared in the Cabinet, even if he did not have a portfolio.

Personal life
After his term as governor of Gagauzia finished, Formuzal emigrated to Germany, where he currently resides. Mihail Formuzal is married and has three children.

title: Marden Hill

text:
Marden Hill is a Grade II* listed country house close to the village of Tewin, Hertfordshire.

The house, originally Jacobean but substantially rebuilt in the 18th-century and modified in the 19th, is built in two storeys with attics of yellow brick with Portland stone dressings. The floor plan is square with five bays and a two-storey Ionic entrance porch at the front.

History
In 1550, the Manor of Marden paid a rent of  of honey to the abbey of St Alban. Marden was held by the abbey until the dissolution, and in 1539 it was granted to William Cavendish. It came to Edward North, Master of the Harriers to Edward VI. In 1653 his grandson demolished the Elizabethan building and built a new house on the site, Marden Hill, high above the Mimram. After several owners, Robert Mackay demolished all but the present north wing in 1789 and it was redesigned in 1790-94 by Francis Carter retaining Jacobean fragments of the house.

It was bought by Richard Flower (the father of Edward Fordham Flower) and became the meeting place of many men of 'radical and dissenting opinion' including William Cobbett. Flower emigrated to the United States in 1817, hiring two ships at Liverpool to transport all his belongings. Flower subsequently helped found Albion, Illinois, and wrote on the English Settlement in the state.

The house was sold to Charles G. Thornton, who served as Governor of the Bank of England in the 1790s. Through his connection with the bank, Thornton knew the architect Sir John Soane, surveyor of the Bank of England since 1788, and commissioned him to extend the house.
Soane's work for the Bank of England is largely destroyed but elements of that building were used in his designs for Marden Hill and still exist, particularly the Aztec-style cornices and the Ionic columns. He designed a vestibule and staircase, and also added the Ionic-columned two-storey porch that is a notable feature of the building.

In 1903 it came, at last, to be owned by the Cowper estate, and was leased. During World War II, it was occupied by a boarding school.
The building was listed in 1952. In 1957 it was owned by a gravel extraction company, which was unable to demolish building, and leased it to two architects, who signed a 21-year lease. A co-ownership company was formed, which now owns the freehold of Marden Hill. Nine families live there today.
