The Central Children's Home of North Carolina, officially the Central Children's Home of North Carolina, Inc., and historically known as Grant Colored Asylum, was founded in Oxford, North Carolina, in 1883. The home is a residential group environment for children up to young adults.

A state historical marker was placed in front of the building by the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Historical Marker Program.

Mission
The Central Children's Home cares for disadvantaged, orphaned, and troubled children. Admission is accepted from social services organizations that includes the North Carolina Department of Social Services for applicants between the ages of nine to twenty-one with an IQ of 70 or above. The Robert L. Shepard Scholarship Fund was established in 1943, to aid children seeking a college education or vocational training.

History
The Orphanage was established as a segregated orphanage with Congressional funding in 1883, through the Colored Orphanage Association (formed in 1882), that was supported by Congressman Henry P. Cheatham. A twenty-three-acre farm was purchased for $1,565.00 just outside Oxford. The city has grown and the home is now inside the area known as Southern Oxford. The orphanage building was built in 1915, and is a two-story brick building with a -story tower and Italianate style design elements. Other early buildings are a small, square, brick building that was erected in 1934 as Cheatham's office and an "L"-shaped brick building originally built as a smokehouse.

Originally chartered as the Grant Colored Asylum the name was changed to the "Colored Orphanage Asylum of North Carolina" in 1887, the "Colored Orphanage of North Carolina" in 1927, the "Central Orphanage of North Carolina” in 1965, and finally receiving the current name "Central Children’s Home of North Carolina" in 1986. The first director was superintendent, Robert L. Shepard and he directed the Home until Cheatham took over and ran it for 28 years.

Support
Founded with Congressional funding, the Children's Home operates through a 30-member Board of Directors on donations from citizens, and organizations. Members of the board of directors include the General Baptist State Convention of North Carolina with 44 member associations, Women's Baptist Home and Foreign Missionary Convention, American Legion Pilgrimage Committee, Prince Hall Grand Lodge, and the Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star.

Affiliations
The Children's Home is affiliated with the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), Southeastern Child Care Association, National Association of Homes and Services for Children, Child Welfare League of America, is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation, and licensed by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

NRHP
The building that the Children's home was originally located in was entered on the list of the National Register of Historic Places August 31, 1988.

Lidiya Karamchakova (; born February 17, 1968, in Abakan, Russian SFSR) is a retired amateur Russian-Tajikistani freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's flyweight category. Karamchakova's wrestling career emerged with two career medals at the European Championships (1997 and 2000), before acquiring a dual citizenship to compete for Tajikistan in 2002. Since then, she scored a silver in the 48-kg division at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, and also finished seventh at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Karamchakova is also a member of the Viktor Wrestling Club in Krasnoyarsk, under her personal coach Viktor Raiko.

Karamchakova reached sporting headlines at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, where she picked up a silver medal in the women's flyweight category (48 kg), being pinned by China's Zhong Xiue.

When women's wrestling made its debut at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Karamchakova qualified for her naturalized Tajik squad in the inaugural 48 kg class. Earlier in the process, she placed third and guaranteed a spot on the Tajik wrestling team from the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Madrid, Spain. Karamchakova lost her opening match to eventual Olympic champion Irini Merleni of Ukraine on technical superiority, but bounced back to upset Greece's Fani Psatha in front of the home audience with a 5–3 verdict, and then pinned Tunisia's Fadhila Louati before reaching the two-minute mark. Despite missing a spot for the semifinals, Karamchakova had a chance to compete against Russia's Lorisa Oorzhak, but she fell behind her fellow Russian rival by a rare 11–0 defeat, placing seventh in the final standings.

title: Typhoon Olga (1999)

text:
Typhoon Olga, also known in the Philippines as Typhoon Ising, was a destructive and deadly typhoon that hit Korean Peninsula in 1999. Olga killed 106 people in Korea and caused $657 million in damages.

Meteorological history

On July 26, a disturbance began to develop at the eastern end of a well-defined monsoon trough well to the east of the Philippines. The convection within the disturbance increased as it moved to the north and Tropical Depression 11W formed on July 29. The system continued to intensify, becoming Typhoon Olga two days later as it approached Okinawa Island. On August 1, Olga made landfall on the Japanese island as a typhoon, weakening slightly as it passed over the island. As it moved to the north-northwest it intensified to its peak with  winds as it approached Korea. The storm was beginning to weaken as it passed to the west of Cheju Island on August 3 and it made a second brief landfall on the T'aean Peninsula before moving north in the Yellow Sea. The storm made its final landfall in North Korea as a strong tropical storm later that day with  winds and became extratropical soon after. Both the JMA and PAGASA considered Olga a typhoon, with PAGASA naming the storm Ising before the JTWC issued its first warning on the developing system.

Impact
Although Typhoon Olga never approached the Philippines closely, it was responsible for heavy rains over much of Luzon that displaced 80,000 and killed 160 people, 60 of which coming from a landslide that occurred in Antipolo, a suburban city outside Metro Manila. Olga passed over Okinawa, with winds of  recorded at Kadena Air Base, causing minimal damage. Torrential rain of up to  fell on the Korean Peninsula, with the highest totals falling near the border between North and South Korea. The resulting floods and landslides caused 64 fatalities in South Korea and wind gusts of  were reported near Seoul. The flooding in South Korea destroyed about  of rice paddies and 8,500 homes, leaving 25,000 people homeless. The Red Cross reported a further 42 deaths and 40,000 were made homeless from flooding in North Korea. That same flooding worsened the ongoing food shortages across the country. Typhoon Olga brought the heaviest rains recorded in Korea for 25 years and caused a total of $657 million of damage in South Korea.

title: Una botta di vita

text:
Una botta di vita (also known as Taste of Life and A Blast of Life) is a 1988 Italian comedy film directed by Enrico Oldoini.

Plot
Mondardini and Battistini, two old men on their own, strike up a friendship and decide to go on an expedition. While Mondardini, driving a beautiful old Lancia Aurelia, is a man of culture, Battistini is not and his view of life is soured since his wife left him when his leg was amputated. They head for Bordighera to see a childhood friend of Mondardini, but on arriving find that he has just died. Turning round, they head for Portofino and in a restaurant meet a young woman going to St Tropez whose friends have accidentally left her behind. Although Battistini refuses to enter France, Mondardini drives across the frontier while he is asleep and delivers the grateful girl.

In the middle of August the two men can find no room for the night and at least find something to eat at a dance for old folk. Outside they meet the girl they brought, who has rejoined her friends, and they all go to a quiet spot beside the sea where the two old men are given their first joint of marijuana. Waking in the morning they are surrounded by naked people, for it is a nudist beach. Thirsty, they ask for water at an industrial plant nearby, where the man in charge gives them recycled sewage.

Driving to Cannes, they meet Germaine, who has just lost everything in the casino. The two take her to lunch, which is ruined for Battistini because the chef is Riccardo, the man who stole his wife. When Riccardo says he can have his wife back, Battistini refuses. That night Mondardini takes Germaine to the casino and wins back for her all she had lost. She gracefully refuses his offer to spend the night in her room, only to find that Battistini has sneaked in. She lets him stay on the floor, while a grumpy Mondardini sleeps in the car.

In the morning the two men quarrel fiercely and Mondardini drives off to Portofino alone. Battistini wangles a ride in a bus full of German tourists, which is halted by an accident: Mondardini's car is smashed and he is being loaded unconscious into an ambulance. Battistini wangles his way into the ambulance, where he loudly proclaims the merits of his dying friend. Then a jolt brings Mondardini back to life, and he starts bantering with Battistini all over again.

title: Rosina Anselmi

text:
Rosina Anselmi ( 26 July 1880 – 23 May 1965) was an Italian stage, television and film actress. She was a prominent actress in the Sicilian language theater, especially in the province of Catania.

Life and career
Born in Caltagirone, Catania into a family of stage actors, Anselmi began acting with her father Alessandro, then with Nino Martoglio in some comedies written by him. She then joined the stage company of Mimi Aguglia, another important actress of the Sicilian repertoire, with whom she toured in North America. Anselmi  went back to Sicily in 1910, and in 1914 she became the first actress, in spite of her status of a great character actress, alongside Angelo Musco with whom she acted for about thirty years, until Musco's death. Anselmi later continued her stage career next to Michele Abbruzzo, proposing the identical repertoire of Musco, until her death. She was a co-founder of the Teatro Stabile di Catania.

title: Steavenson River

text:
The Steavenson River, sometimes incorrectly referred to as Steavensons River, a minor inland perennial river of the Goulburn Broken catchment, part of the Murray-Darling basin, is located in the lower South Eastern Highlands bioregion and Northern Country/North Central regions of the Australian state of Victoria. The headwaters of the Steavenson River rise on the northwestern slopes of the Yarra Ranges, below Mount Edgar and descend to flow into the Acheron River near .

Location and features
The river rises below Mount Edgar on the northwestern slopes of the Yarra Ranges, part of the Great Dividing Range, within the Yarra Ranges National Park. The flows generally north by west, through rugged national park as the river descends, then north, joined by three tributaries including the Taggerty River, before reaching its confluence with the Acheron River near the settlement of Buxton. The river descends  over its  course.

The river is crossed by the Maroondah Highway south of Buxton. An anabranch of the river, called Little Steavenson River, splits from the main river and reaches its confluence with the Acheron River, also near the settlement of Buxton.

Steavenson Falls, a  horsetail waterfall located in the upper reaches of the river, descends over five drops, the last having a clear drop of more than  and is situated approximately  east of .

Much of the catchment area of the river was destroyed by the Black Saturday bushfires that passed through the area on 7 February 2009, destroying almost all of the man made infrastructure and causing extensive damage to the forest in the area.

Etymology
In an Australian Aboriginal language, the river is claimed to be named Nur-ro-nur-ro, with no defined meaning for the name. That claim is disputed.

It is believed that the lower reaches of the Steavenson River, from the confluence of the Taggerty River with the Steavenson River, at the locale of Vic Oak, until the river mouth near Buxton, may have been initially named as the Taggerty River, until the Steavenson was officially named.

title: John Lee (cricketer)

text:
John Morley Lee (12 October 1825 – 20 January 1903) was an English clergyman and cricketer who played in first-class cricket matches for Cambridge University, Surrey, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and various other amateur teams in the late 1840s. He was born at Chelsea, London and died at Botley, Hampshire.

Family and background
Lee was privately educated at Oundle and then at St John's College, Cambridge. He was the son of a London-based builder, Henry Lee, described as coming from Chiswell Street in Finsbury but later settling in Balham; John Lee's younger half-brother, Frederick, 15 years younger, was also a first-class cricketer, playing for Cambridge University, Surrey and other amateur sides.

Cricket career
As a cricketer, Lee appeared in a couple of matches for Cambridge University in the 1845 season as a tail-end right-handed batsman, but made little impression; he did not take any wickets with his right-arm medium-fast bowling, and scorecards being incomplete for these games it is not clear whether he bowled or not. In his first match of 1846, his round-arm bowling proved decisive with nine wickets in a narrow victory for the university over the MCC. He took 10 wickets in the return match in London, though this was a 12-a-side first-class game. He was then picked for the 1846 University match against Oxford University which was played in Oxford. Later in the 1846 season, Lee played a couple of first-class matches for the Gentlemen of England side.

Lee's success as a bowler continued in 1847 and in the university side's MCC match at Lord's he took seven wickets in the first innings and five in the second, his best figures in first-class cricket (as in most of Lee's matches, the full bowling figures have not been recorded). He played in the University Match for a second time and later in the season played for Surrey, the Gentlemen in the annual Gentlemen v players match at Lord's, and MCC. In his single game for Surrey, he played successfully as a batsman, scoring 40 and 20 in a game with Kent, and appears not to have bowled. There was a similar pattern to Lee's cricket in 1848, his last season at Cambridge and his third appearance in the University match; He appeared for Surrey and for "Gentlemen of England" after the university cricket season ended. But his bowling was less effective in 1848 and he often batted high in the batting order, scoring an innings of 110, by a long way his highest score, in the Cambridge game against the Gentlemen of Kent, when he opened the innings.

Lee played very little cricket in 1849 but returned, without distinction, in 1850 in eight first-class games, including an appearance for the All-England side, and another in the Gentlemen v Players series. He also played in a remarkable South v North match which was scheduled for three days but completed in one day with John Wisden taking all 10 South wickets, including Lee's, in the second innings. He did not play first-class cricket after 1850.

Career after cricket
After graduation from Cambridge University in 1848, Lee was ordained first as a deacon and then as a Church of England priest. He was curate at Long Melford, Suffolk and then at Abbot's Langley, Hertfordshire. In 1855, his father bought for him the benefice of Botley, Hampshire, and he remained as rector there for 48 years to his death in 1903, also acting as rural dean of Bishop's Waltham and from 1877 as an honorary canon of Winchester. In 1855 also, Lee married Emily Mary Gingell of Wood House, East Ham; they had two daughters.

title: Sam Fletcher (singer)

text:
Sam Fletcher (born Ira Levi Fletcher, January 15, 1934 – April 25, 1989) was an American singer who recorded in the late 1950s and 1960s.

Life and career
Fletcher was born in rural Tennessee and grew up in Memphis.  His family were members of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), and as a child he would attract church audiences for his singing. After studying at college, he joined the US Army, served during the Korean War, and while stationed in Germany sang with the Seventh Army Jazz Concert Band.   On returning to the US he began performing popular secular music despite the opposition of his family and church.  From 1958, he released several singles on the Metro and Cub labels, both subsidiaries of MGM Records.  He performed in jazz and supper clubs in New York City, and appeared in an Off-Broadway production of The Amen Corner.   Manager Lee Magid signed him to RCA Victor Records in 1960, and he released further singles, produced by Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore, including "Tall Hope" (from the musical Wildcat), and his signature song, "I Believe In You" in 1961.  While regionally successful, none of his records made the national charts.

Singer Dinah Shore sought out Fletcher to appear in her television shows.   He appeared in her The Best is Yet To Come end-of-season special in 1963, and later on American Bandstand and other television variety shows.  After moving to Los Angeles, he became a popular nightclub and cabaret act, and opened for such stars as Phyllis Diller and Mitzi Gaynor.  As "The Man With The Golden Voice", he signed for Vee-Jay Records, who released his first album, Sam Fletcher Sings 'I Believe In You''' – featuring a re-recording of his earlier song, and arrangements by Bill Finegan – in 1964.  Fletcher's single, "I'd Think It Over", produced by Calvin Carter and released on Vee-Jay's subsidiary Tollie label in 1964, was later popular on Britain's Northern soul scene.

Continuing to appear on shows presented by both Dinah Shore and Della Reese, Fletcher recorded his second album, The Look of Love – The Sound of Soul, a collection of jazz standards and other songs including "God Only Knows", arranged by Harry Betts, for Vault Records in 1967.   Fletcher's career was derailed and effectively ended by his arrest in Los Angeles on narcotics charges in December 1967.  He went into rehabilitation and attempted to revive his career but was restricted to local performances and occasional more public events such as Muhammad Ali's wedding to Veronica Porche in 1977. He also worked as a teacher in Los Angeles.  He was injured in a street robbery in the early 1980s, and performers at a benefit event for him included O. C. Smith and his friend Esther Phillips.

He died in Los Angeles in 1989 (not 1984 as sometimes reported), and was buried with military honors at Memphis National Cemetery.

A CD containing both his albums has been released by Fresh Sound Records.

title: Natalia Ivanova (wrestler)

text:
Natalia Ivanovna Ivanova (; born May 11, 1969, in Angarsk, Russian SFSR) is a retired amateur Russian-Tajikistani freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's middleweight category. Considered one of Russia's top female wrestlers of her decade, Ivanova has yielded a remarkable tally of six career medals, including two silver at the World Championships (1995 and 1996), before she acquired a dual citizenship to compete for Tajikistan in 2002. Since then, she scored a sixth spot in the 63-kg division at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, and also finished eleventh at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Ivanova is also a member of the wrestling squad for Pobeda Sports and Military Games Club in Angarsk, under her personal coach Valery Saiziev.

While competing for the Russian team, Ivanova emerged herself into a sporting fame at the 1995 World Women Championships in Moscow, Russia, where she captured a silver medal in the 61-kg division, losing to Austria's Nikola Hartmann. By the following year, she campaigned for her runner-up defense in the same tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria, and then boasted for the bronze at the European Championships in Oslo, Norway. Before leaving for the Tajik squad in 2002, Ivanova held a remarkable record of six medals; three of which came from the World Championships, and the rest from the European Championships. When she entered the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea as a crowd favorite in the women's middleweight category (63 kg), Ivanova missed a chance to capture another medal to her career hardware, placing sixth in the process.

When women's wrestling made its debut at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Ivanova qualified for her naturalized Tajik squad in the inaugural 63 kg class. Earlier in the process, she placed third and guaranteed a spot on the Tajik wrestling team from the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Tunis, Tunisia. Ivanova lost two straight matches each to Belarus' Volha Khilko (1–4) and eventual Olympic bronze medalist Lise Legrand of France (0–3), leaving her on the bottom of the pool and placing eleventh in the final standings.

title: Marine wildlife of Baa Atoll

text:
The marine wildlife of Baa Atoll consists of marine species living in a circular archipelago in the Maldives, inside the administrative division of Baa Atoll, which is the southern part of Maalhosmadulu Atoll. Baa Atoll was named a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2011.

The whole is approximately 38 km by 46 km, covering a surface of 1,127 km2. However, the atoll shelters only 5.5 km2 of emerged land, consisting of sandy islands not higher than 3.19 m, and of which half do not exceed an area of 10 hectares. The administrative subdivision of Baa, shelters 11,910 inhabitants, distributed on 13 of the 75 islands, 8 other islands being island resorts; the capital is Eydhafushi.

The archipelago has been located inside the UNESCO Biosphere reserve since 2011. Its shallow waters, particularly rich in coral and fish as well as turtles and dolphins, make a favored place for seaside and underwater tourism.

The ecosystem is characterized by a very high rate of coral cover, highly diverse and dominated by table, digitate and branched corals of the genus Acropora. The shallow waters of this atoll and its particular richness in corals and fish have made it a destination for underwater tourism. The presence of huge animals such as manta rays and whale sharks add spectacular encounters to the beauty of the place. Scientific studies suggest that the faunistic composition can vary greatly between neighbor atolls, especially in terms of benthic fauna.

title: Houston Sports Park

text:
Houston Sports Park is an urban park that serves as a multi-purpose sports and entertainment facility in the Five Corners District of Houston near the neighborhood of City Park. Houston Sports Park (HSP) houses Aveva Stadium, which is the home of the Houston SaberCats of Major League Rugby and is the training ground of the Houston Dynamo, Houston Dash and its academy teams. The facility is made up of the Memorial Hermann Champions Field, one artificial turf field, and five additional grass fields.

Description
The campus building is a single-story building which houses Athlete Training + Health (18,505 sq. feet) along with a 7,000 sq. foot tenant suite for the Methodist Center for Sports Medicine (home to the physicians for the Houston Dynamo, Texans, Astros, Rodeo and Ballet). The Methodist Center for Sports Medicine features a HydroWorx 1200 advanced underwater treadmill pool. Additionally, there is 5,125 square foot permanent training center for the Houston Dynamo.

The completed portion currently in use is known as Phase One of the construction project that began in 2011. Fundraising for Phase Two is underway which will provide seven more lighted fields, restroom pavilion, misting stations, picnic facilities, trails, playground and additional parking. The estimated cost to complete the complex is $12 million.

History

Planning

When the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer relocated to Houston to become the Houston Dynamo in 2005, team ownership Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), expressed a strong desire to have both a permanent stadium and training facility. While pursuing what would become BBVA Compass Stadium, Houston Sports Park was simultaneously planned and constructed.

Initially, the city-owned Gus Wortham Golf Course in Houston's East End was proposed to be re-purposed for use. However, Houston Mayor Bill White and district councilwoman Carol Alvarado soon publicly opposed the idea, and attention shifted elsewhere. By late 2007, the city began looking to relatively undeveloped south Houston to acquire land, and two sites along the South Freeway (at Airport Boulevard and Almeda-Genoa Road) were considered.

Funding and construction
Throughout 2008, the City of Houston purchased several adjoining tracts of land adjacent to the Houston Community College South Campus and parallel to the South Freeway at Airport Boulevard, and re-platted it as "Houston Amateur Sports Park" the following year.
On June 25, 2008, the City of Houston and the Houston Dynamo officially announced plans for a 100-acre, 18-field park to the public. The following day, a public event where Mayor Bill White and other city officials were in attendance, was held at the nearby Houston Community College South Campus. On December 16, 2009, the city awarded a US$4.2 million contract to South Coast Construction, Inc. to build a new portion of Kirby Drive from Airport Boulevard to nearby Sims Bayou throughout the park.

On November 9, 2011, the City of Houston created a municipally owned corporation called the "Houston Amateur Sports Park LGC" to build, manage, and operate the Sports Park land as a recreational sports field and training facility for the public and community. The local government corporation is managed by an eleven-member board nominated by the mayor and confirmed by the city council.

On May 28, 2014, the City of Houston acquired 32 more adjoining acres to add to the park.

Further additions
On February 7, 2018, the City of Houston agreed to fund $3.2 million of the $15.25 million needed to build Aveva Stadium at Houston Sports Park for the Houston SaberCats of Major League Rugby. The stadium was completed in April 2019 and has a capacity for 4,000 spectators.

title: When Animals Dream

text:
When Animals Dream (originally titled as Når dyrene drømmer) is a 2014 Danish horror drama film, and the feature film directorial debut of Jonas Alexander Arnby. The film had its world premiere on 19 May 2014 at the Cannes Film Festival and stars Sonia Suhl as a teenager that discovers that she is transforming into a werewolf.

Plot
Marie (Sonia Suhl) is a shy sixteen-year-old growing up in a remote fishing village in Denmark where she lives with her father Thor (Lars Mikkelsen) and mother (Sonja Richter), who is catatonic and confined to a wheelchair. She's bothered by a strange rash that develops on her chest, only to become more unnerved when she begins to sprout hair. During this time Marie begins working at a fish processing plant where her coworkers bully her under the false premise that it is hazing and not intended to be malicious. As Marie's body undergoes more changes, she begins to realize that her family has been hiding strange secrets and that her mother's current condition may relate to what Marie is currently going through.

Cast

Reception
Critical reception for When Animals Dream has been generally positive. It has a score of 73% on Rotten Tomatoes and of 54% on Metacritic. Shock Till You Drop compared the film favorably with the similarly themed films Let the Right One In and Ginger Snaps and commented that it was "a movie that lurks quietly in the shadows, stalking you until its ready to pounce and show you what big, sharp teeth it has". The Hollywood Reporter and Twitch Film also praised the movie, and Twitch Film wrote that it was "a tremendous feature debut, haunting and elegiac, while not shying away from violence and sex. There is certainly no subtlety to the film; but then again, werewolves aren't meant to be subtle."

title: Hotel Kurrajong

text:
Hotel Kurrajong Canberra is a heritage-listed hotel located in the Canberra suburb of Barton, Australian Capital Territory, close to Parliament House and national institutions within the Parliamentary Triangle precinct. The Hotel has a strong association with Australia's political history, most notably as the residence of Prime Minister Ben Chifley throughout his parliamentary career, including his term in office from 1945-1949. In 1951, Chifley suffered a fatal heart attack in room 205 at Hotel Kurrajong.

History
Hotel Kurrajong was built between 1925 and 1927 as a hostel to provide accommodation for public servants in preparation for the relocation of the Parliament from Melbourne. The building was designed as an example of the Garden Pavilion style by Commonwealth chief architect John Smith Murdoch, in keeping with Walter Burley Griffin's garden city concept for the capital. The same concept of pavilions centred around garden courts was used for the earlier Hotel Canberra, built shortly before on the opposite side of the Parliamentary Triangle.

During the Great Depression, economic conditions and the reduction in the number of government employees reduced demand for accommodation in Canberra, and the Canberra and the Kurrajong were the only hotels left open for a time.

As was the case with the Hotel Canberra, the Kurrajong was frequently used as sitting-time accommodation by politicians. Kurrajong was reputedly favoured by politicians from the Australian Labor Party, and the Canberra by politicians from the conservative parties. Among others, prominent Australian Labor Party parliamentarian Ben Chifley resided at the hotel from 1940-1951 while in Canberra. When serving as Prime Minister of Australia, the modest Chifley chose to make the hotel his official residence rather than The Lodge. After declining an invitation to attend a Jubilee Ball to celebrate 50 years since Federation the nearby Kings Hall, during the evening of 13 June 1951 he suffered a fatal heart attack while in his room at the hotel. Although he was taken to the Canberra Community Hospital, attempts to revive Chifley were unsuccessful.

By the late 1970s, guest numbers had declined and the hotel was closed, reused as offices for Parliamentary staff. The ACT Government signed a 50-year lease on the building in 1993, reopening it as a hotel in 1995. As part of the reopening, the ACT Government established the Australian International Hotel School, with the campus based at Hotel Kurrajong offering accredited graduate qualifications specializing in hospitality and hotel management, operating alongside the hotel. The hotel was sold at auction to a joint venture between TFE Hotels and NRMA for a reported $7.65 million in 2013. The new owners have announced intentions to extensively renovate Hotel Kurrajong, to be rebranded as part of Collection by TFE Hotels as "Hotel Kurrajong Canberra" with a 4.5 star fit out, while not compromising heritage aspects of the building. The hotel was closed on 11 July 2014 to begin renovations and was reopened on 11 February 2015.

Heritage listings
Hotel Kurrajong was added to the Register of the National Estate in 1993 and the Australian Institute of Architects' Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture since 1984. As the second built of eight residential hostels planned during Canberra's early establishment, the hotel is also protected by the ACT Heritage Register and any alterations must be first approved by the National Capital Authority.

Gault finished seventh in the 25 metre standard pistol singles, missing out on a medal by eight points, and leaving him one medal short of the Commonwealth Games record held by Australian shooter Phillip Adams.

After the 2010 Games he announced his retirement from the sport, citing the media pressure surrounding his medal record attempt, but reversed his decision with the aim of competing at his first Olympics at the 2012 Games in London. Gault achieved the qualifying mark for the free pistol event at the Olympics but was told by British Shooting that the only quota place available to Great Britain as the host nation was for the air pistol, an event in which he had not achieved the required qualification score. Under Olympic rules Gault would have been able to compete in both events if selected for the British team but despite former minister for Sport Kate Hoey petitioning on his behalf he was not selected.

Gault returned to the England team for the 2014 Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow, Scotland. He led the 10 metre air pistol event after 13 shots but eventually finished third with a score of 176.5. The bronze medal tied him with Adams record of 18. however Gault holds 9 Golds to Adams holding 7 Gold. Competing in the 50 metre pistol event he had an opportunity to break the medal record but finished 13th in the qualification round and missed out on the final. After being eliminated from the event he announced his retirement for the second time. On 25 December 2014 Gault suffered a minor stroke and has never shot since.

title: Okolica szlachecka

text:
In Poland and Lithuania okolica szlachecka or akalica (in Lithuanian) is a kind of estate village (neighbourhood of the nobility), or a complex of several villages of the same first part of the name and different second part. In the past, it was a single settlement, but later it has split, as the property has been divided into several inheritors. Such localities were usually inhabited by yeomanry (drobna szlachta). They are common in the borderland of Mazovia and Podlachia in Poland and in central and north-west part of Lithuania. Many frequent toponymic (often noble) surnames are derived from their names.

title: Taggerty River

text:
The Taggerty River, a minor inland perennial river of the Goulburn Broken catchment, part of the Murray-Darling basin, is located in the lower South Eastern Highlands bioregion and Northern Country/North Central regions of the Australian state of Victoria. The headwaters of the Taggerty River rise on the northwestern slopes of the Yarra Ranges, below Lake Mountain and descend to flow into the Steavenson River near .

Location and features
The river rises below Lake Mountain on the northwestern slopes of the Yarra Ranges, part of the Great Dividing Range, within the Yarra Ranges National Park. The flows generally west, through rugged national park as the river descends, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Steavenson River near the settlement of Marysville. The river descends  over its  course.

Much of the catchment area of the river was destroyed by the Black Saturday bushfires that passed through the area on 7 February 2009, destroying almost all of the man made infrastructure and causing extensive damage to the forest in the area.

Etymology
The river derives its name from the Aboriginal Taungurong word taggarty. It is recorded that Aborigines used to gather a blue pigment or clay on the banks of the Taggerty River and use the stain on their bodies.

It is believed that the lower reaches of the Steavenson River, from the confluence of the Taggerty River with the Steavenson River, at the locale of Vic Oak, until the river mouth near Buxton, may have been initially named as the Taggerty River, until the Steavenson was officially named.

title: Liebmann Hersch

text:
Pesach Liebmann Hersch (25 May 1882  – 9 June 1955), also Liebman Hersh (), was a professor of demography and statistics at the University of Geneva, and an intellectual of the Jewish Labor Bund, whose pioneering work on Jewish migration achieved international recognition in the period after the First World War.

Biography
Liebmann Hersch was born in the small Lithuanian town of Pamūšis, in the district of Šiauliai, in what was then the Russian Empire. He was the son of Meyer Dovid Hersch (1858–1933) and Hannah-Dvorah Hersch (née Blumberg; 1860–1890). Liebmann's father was a maskil and a journalist who published articles in various Hebrew journals, including Ha-Maggid and Ha-Melitz. Liebmann was the oldest of six sons. Within a year or two of his birth his family moved to his father's hometown of Joniškis (Yanishok), where a younger brother was born, in 1884. Subsequently, they moved again, to Šiauliai (Shavel), his mother's hometown, where, between 1886 and 1890, four more sons were born. Liebmann's mother died in 1890, at the age of 30, seven weeks after giving birth to her youngest child.

In 1891 Meyer Dovid Hersch traveled to South Africa, where he worked as a correspondent for the Hebrew press in Eastern Europe. During their father's four-year sojourn in South Africa Liebmann and his brothers were in the care of a teacher in the town. Liebmann's father returned to Šiauliai in 1895, and remarried the same year. He and his second wife, Ita Melamed Hersch (1871–1958), moved with their family to Warsaw, where Liebmann attended high school, and participated in Zionist youth activities.

Liebmann Hersch studied mathematics at the University of Warsaw. Because of his involvement in anti-Czarist political activity Hersch was eventually forced to flee Warsaw. He moved to Geneva in 1904. In 1905 he joined the Jewish socialist party—the General Union of Jewish Workers in Lithuania, Poland and Russia (Yiddish: Algemeyner Yidisher Arbeter Bund), also known as the Jewish Labor Bund, or simply the Bund—that had been founded in 1897. Influenced by the debates within the Bund about the economic and political future of the Jews in Eastern Europe, Hersch pursued research on the causes and characteristics of Jewish emigration.

At the University of Geneva, Liebmann Hersch studied sociology. He became an instructor in the department of statistics and demography in 1909, and went on to complete his dissertation, which was published in French in 1913 as Le Juif errant d'aujourd'hui (The wandering Jew today). A revised edition was published the following year in Yiddish as Di yudishe emigratsie (Jewish emigration). He subsequently spent his entire professional career in Geneva.

In connection with his Bundist activities, Hersch published articles on political and social issues in the Yiddish, Polish and Russian press, with a focus on emigration and the problems of Jewish nationalism.

In the period following World War I, by which time he was a professor at the University of Geneva, Hersch devoted much work to the situation of the Jews in Europe at that time. In 1927 he published a three-part study in the Yiddish-language journal Di Tsukunft that amounted to a critique of Zionism from a statistical and demographic standpoint. On the basis of that study he wrote his book Immigration to and Emigration from Palestine, published in Warsaw in Yiddish in 1928, and subsequently translated into French. In 1931 Hersch's article "International Migration of the Jews," which became a classic work on the topic, appeared in the collection International Migrations (volume 2), edited by Walter Willcox and Imre Ferenczi, and published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in New York.

In the 1930s Hersch's research mainly comprised statistical and quantitative analyses of the conditions under which Jews lived. In 1937 he published a study in Yiddish comparing Jewish and non-Jewish crime in Poland, which appeared in Vilna in 1937.

During World War II, Hersch was active on behalf of Jews in Nazi-occupied countries, and those who had taken refuge in Switzerland, and was a representative on the American Jewish Labor Committee. He was also a member of the executive council of the World ORT.

Hersch visited Palestine for the first time in 1947 as a participant in the World Congress for Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. He described it as a "jewel on a volcano." He then became much less opposed to Zionism than the official Bund position and advocated support for the Yishuv.

In 1954 Hersch was elected as chair of the World Population Conference of the United Nations (the fourth international conference for demography and statistics), held in Rome. At that time he was also president of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population.

Personal life
Liebmann Hersch was married to Liba Hersch (née Lichtenbaum), of Warsaw. They had three children, Jeanne (b. 1910), Irène (b. 1917) and Joseph (b. 1925). Their daughter Jeanne Hersch became a noted philosopher at the University of Geneva.

title: Solar sharing

text:
Solar sharing is a way to finance a new solar power plant by pooling the investment resources of multiple people together. The target is to develop new solar energy, and at the same time, share the economic benefits that the energy produces among those who contributed to the projects.

How solar sharing works
The solar sharing model is based on the idea of pooling the financial resources of multiple people together in order to be able to create a bigger and more economic solar farm for agrovoltaic power.
Individuals fund a solar plant together. Post-operation, energy sales revenue is divided based on initial investments. The application of this model allows for reduced initial and maintenance costs, due to the economies of scale that are present in building one large solar power plant versus creating many smaller domestic installations.

Benefits of solar sharing
Many people are unable to install their own solar panels or projects due to the following:
 a lack of space
 architectural constraints due to living in an urban / landscaped area or building
 an unfavorable geographical location
 bureaucratic complications related to permissions and the network connection

Purchasing a share of a medium or large solar plant may help overcome these challenges. Investors in solar sharing projects may not only cover the economic costs of their energy needs, but also generate additional earnings.

Examples of solar sharing
Several companies around the world are contributing to the realization of solar sharing and producing clean energy for the planet. Some models involve installing solar panels at the ground level, in large open spaces. Other companies install the panels on rooftops.

Many solar cooperatives and associations offer either local financing or a few individual plants. These examples operate in Italy, Japan, and the United States.

Solar sharing for both food and clean energy production
The purpose of this research was to examine the performance of agrivoltaic systems, which produce crops and electricity simultaneously, by installing stilt-mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels on farmland. As PV power stations enjoy remarkable growth, land occupation to establish solar farms will intensify the competition for land resources between food and clean energy production. The results of this research showed, however, that the stilt-mounted agrivoltaic system can mitigate the trade-off between crop production and clean energy generation even when applied to corn, a typical shade-intolerant crop. The research was conducted at a 100-m2 experimental farm with three sub-configurations: no modules (control), low module density, and high module density. In each configuration, 9 stalks/m2 were planted 0.5 m apart. The biomass of corn stover grown in the low-density configuration was larger than that of the control configuration by 4.9%. Also, the corn yield per square meter of the low-density configuration was larger than that of the control by 5.6%. The results of this research should encourage more conventional farmers, clean energy producers, and policymakers to consider adopting stilt-mounted PV systems, particularly in areas where land resources are relatively scarce.

Research significance and objectives
As PV power stations grow, land occupation intended for solar farms will intensify competition for land resources between food and clean energy production. The question remains as to how competition for land resources between food and energy production can be resolved. Although PV systems require less land than other renewable energy options, in reality, commercial PV power stations can occupy a considerable land area at local scales. In many cases, the most suitable sites for solar power plants, which perform optimally with long daylight hours and minimal cloud cover, are classified as agricultural land.

This presents an issue, in that land supporting viable and diverse agriculture is likely to have more value as agricultural land than as a solar farm. This competition could be particularly serious in densely populated regions, mountainous areas, and small inhabited islands.

The fundamental problem tackled by this research was how to reduce competition for land resources between food production and PV power generation. In other words, the main objective was to identify a PV system that can help reduce the tension between limited land resources and increasing demands for food and clean energy. Although commercial PV power stations nevertheless occupy vast tracts of land at local scales, this problem could be solved by agrivoltaic systems.

title: Iris zenaidae

text:
Iris zenaidae is a species in the genus Iris, it is also in the subgenus Scorpiris. It is a bulbous perennial from Central Asia. It has deep violet-blue or cobalt blue flowers.

Description
Iris zenaidae is similar in form to Iris magnifica, but with different darker blue coloured flowers.

It has generally 2-3 flowers per stem.

The flowers can range from deep violet-blue, to cobalt blue. It has a white or violet crest, which can be spotted or striped (with blue-violet).

The hafts of the falls are deep blue.

Taxonomy
Iris zenaidae was first found by Alexei Vvedenski and he named the iris (Juno zenaidae) after Zinaida Petronava Botschantzeva (a botanist from Kazakhstan), he then published the iris in 'Opred. Rast. Sred. Azii' 2: 322 1971.

Dr. Zinaida later returned the favour and named Tulipa vvedenskyi after him, in 1954.

It was then thought, by several botanists including Tony Hall (from Kew Gardens) that it was a violet-blue form of Iris graeberiana. It was then listed as synonym of Iris graeberiana.

In 2012, botanists F.O. Khass and Rakhimova carried out more research on the iris and others, they then re-published the iris as Iris zenaidae as a species in its own right. On 21 December 2012, it was published in 'Stapfia' (Publikation der Botanischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft am O. Ö. Landesmuseum) 97: 178.

Iris zenaidae is now an accepted name by the RHS.

title: Iris willmottiana

text:
Iris willmottiana  is a species in the genus Iris, in the subgenus Scorpiris. It is a bulbous perennial, from Uzbekistan in central Asia. It has green broad leaves, short stems, large flowers in various shades of blue.

Description
Iris willmottiana is very similar in form to that of Iris caucasica. Sharing similar size, shape, leaf margin but having smaller flowers.

It has thickened roots, and it has broad leaves that are glossy lustrous green, that appear in May. The leaves also have a thin white margin on the edges.

It generally grows to a height of between  tall, in late spring or early summer.

It has between 2 - 6 flowers on a short stem.

The large flowers (about 6–7 cm in diameter), come in various shades of blue, from intense cobalt blue, pale lavender-blue, pale purple, to light purple.
The flowers are also blotched with white, and flecked with deep lavender-purple.
The falls have a large white area and white crest or central ridge with purple marks. The standards are about 1.5 cm long.

Taxonomy
It was collected from Bokhara in Eastern Turkestan in 1899, by a plant collector on behalf of the Van Tubergen nurseries in Haarlem, the Netherlands. It was then sent to Michael Foster who then first published and described it in the 'Gardeners Chronicle' of London' in 1901.

He named it after Ellen Willmott, a renowned gardener. It is one of 60 or so plants named after her. Mr Foster chose Mrs Willmott due to her interest in irises.

It was later illustrated in colour in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, plate number 8340, in 1912.

Iris willmottiana is now an accepted name by the RHS, and was verified by United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service on 3 October 2014.

Native
Iris willmottiana is from Central Asia and (the former Russian state), of Kazakhstan. or Uzbekistan.
It grows wild in the stony foothills of the Pamir mountain range, at around 2900m above sea level.
It has been found in the Aksu Zhabagli, and Karatau Mountains, in Kazakhstan.

Cultivation
It is hardy to USDA Zone 3.

Although the plant is quite hardy, in the UK, it is better cultivated in a bulb frame. or Alpine house, but has been grown outside.

It prefers to grow in sandy loam, with good drainage and in full sun.

Iris willmottiana, Iris willmottiana 'Alba' and Iris warleyensis (named after Miss Willmotts garden in Essex), are all easier to find in the US than in England.

The plant listed as Iris willmottiana 'Alba', is now thought to be a white form of Iris bucharica.

It can produce hybrids very easy with Iris magnifica and Iris graeberiana.

Stavroula Zygouri ; born May 4, 1968, in Athens) is a retired amateur Greek freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's middleweight category. She picked up a silver medal in the 63-kg division at the 2001 Mediterranean Games in Tunis, Tunisia, and later finished fourth in Athens, when Greece hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics. Before her sporting career ended in 2012, Zygouri trained as a member of the wrestling team for Atlas Kallitheas in her native Athens, under her personal coach and mentor Panagiotis Kalaigidis.

Zygouri emerged herself into a sporting fame at the 2001 Mediterranean Games in Tunis, Tunisia, where she captured a silver medal in the 63-kg division, losing her final match to Italy's Diletta Giampiccolo. She also had an opportunity to compete for the Greek squad in the same category at the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in New York City, New York, United States, but left empty-handed with a sixth-place effort.

When women's wrestling made its debut at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Zygouri qualified for the Greek squad, as a 36-year-old, in the inaugural 63 kg class. Apart from placing sixth at the World Championships, she also managed to fill up an entry by the International Federation of Association Wrestling and the Hellenic Olympic Committee, as Greece received an automatic berth for being the host nation. Amassed the home crowd inside Ano Liossia Olympic Hall, Zygouri started the prelim pool in a more sedate fashion with a pair of effortless victories over Germany's Stéphanie Groß 4–1 and Sweden's Sara Eriksson 5–3 to grant her a spot in the medal rounds. Zygouri was immediately pinned by U.S. wrestler Sara McMann in her semifinal match within 50 seconds, and then fell behind France's Lise Legrand with a similar disposition at two minutes and four seconds for the bronze medal, dropping her to fourth place.

Currently, Zygouri works as a secretary for the association of the Greek athletes under the Hellenic Olympic Committee, and also, a member of the Department of International Women's Sports Wrestling Federation for FILA.

Colin William Moss (30 April 1914 – 16 December 2005) was a British artist and teacher who served as a camouflage designer during World War Two.

Biography

Early life

Moss was born in Ipswich above the family shop and off-licence. His father was killed at Passchendaele in 1917 and Moss and his elder sister were brought up by relatives in Devonport near Plymouth. Moss studied at the Plymouth Art School from 1930 to 1934 before continuing his studies at the Royal College of Art under Gilbert Spencer and Charles Mahoney. For his 1937 diploma show he included the oil painting Hunger Marchers, based on the Jarrow March of the previous year – Moss was, and remained, a socialist who was proud of his working-class roots. He worked on murals for the British Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair.

War-service
When World War Two broke out Moss, like many artists, applied to the Ministry of Home Security to do camouflage work. He became one of the eighty-three camouflage officers and technicians working at the Ministry's Civil Defence Camouflage Establishment at Leamington Spa. When his time at Leamington had come to an end, Moss was given a months leave to record his designs before he transferred to other duties. Moss made a series of watercolours recording the elaborate camouflage scheme he had designed and painted for the Stonebridge Power Station in Wembley. In 1941 he was drafted into the Life Guards and served in the Middle East as a captain before joining the Army Education Corps in Palestine after the war. A number of the pictures he painted at Stonebridge, and others he painted whilst on active service in the Middle East, were subsequently purchased by the War Artists' Advisory Committee and presented to the Imperial War Museum at the end of the conflict.

Post-war
When his military service ended, in 1947, Moss took a teaching post at the Ipswich School of Art and, apart from a short spell with Oskar Kokoschka in Salzburg in 1961, held various positions there until his retirement in 1979. One-man exhibitions at the Kensington Art Gallery, in 1951, and at the Zwemmer Gallery in 1955 led to several national collections acquiring examples of his work. He became a founder member of the New Ipswich Art Group in 1958, and the Six in Suffolk Group in 1976. Moss served as chairman of the Ipswich Art Club for three years and frequently exhibited at both the Royal Academy and the Royal Watercolour Society. During the 1980s retrospective exhibitions of his work were held at the Wolsey Art Gallery in Ipswich in 1981, at the Minories Gallery in Colchester in 1983 and at Bury St. Edmunds Art Gallery in 1987. From 1981 to 1995 Moss was an art critic to the East Anglian Daily Times.
 He continued to hold numerous solo exhibitions after his retirement and could count both Brian Eno and Maggi Hambling among his pupils.
