title: Giuseppe De Luigi

text:
Giuseppe De Luigi (4 October 1908 in Bigarello – 8 February 1982 in Genoa) was an Italian artist (paintings, sculptures).

Life
Giuseppe De Luigi was an Italian artist who drew his inspiration from a clever use of light and colours. He was born on 4 October 1908, in Stradella di Bigarello near Mantua

From his childhood, he shows a particular aptitude for drawing, he early tests his skill for watercolour, oil painting, wax and plaster sculptures.

In 1924 he attended Palazzo Ducale in Mantua where he studies the masterpieces of those great artists who operated there in the past, above all Andrea Mantegna, Giulio Romano. He learns the technique of fresco under the direction of important restorers.

From 1926 to 1930 he wins scholarships of the town-council of Bigarello and of the Institute Giuseppe Franchetti; in this way, he can follow painting courses in Firenze. At Fiesole, he learns the art of pottery in a workshop. At famous "Caffè Giubbe Rosse", a cafè in Florence where the Italian Futurist movement (Futurismo) blossomed, he met artists and intellectuals as Ardengo Soffici, Giovanni Papini e Piero Bargellini.

Coming back to Mantua, he begins his artistic life. In 1931 he exhibited two works at the “Prima Mostra Provinciale d’Arte”; in 1932 he is mentioned in the volume “Artisti”  edited by “Libreria del Milione” 1932-XI, together with Manzù, Tomea, Sassu, Lorenzetti, Giorgi. In 1936 he opens a studio with the sculptor A. Seguri in Bellalancia Street.

In 1938, he marries Giulia Danesi and they have four children.

In 1943, the war forces the young family to move to Castel Goffredo. Later, in 1952, they come to Milan. De Luigi takes part in the cultural life of this town, becoming a protagonist of the 19th-century art: he attends art galleries, cultural institutions, he makes exhibitions, he is present to collective art shows, he is quoted in remarkable artistic publications, he is given awards and receives great appreciations.
He dies on February 8, 1982 in Genoa. His works are still in great demand from critics and artistic institutions.

In the town where he was born, a considerable number of his paintings can now be seen and appreciated in museums and foundations, Bigarello public administration has dedicated the City Library to Giuseppe De Luigi. In 2013, thanks the collaboration of xDams organisation has started a project to create a digital archive with pictures, photos and documents about Giuseppe De Luigi

title: Chimaira

text:
Chimaira ( ) was an American heavy metal band from Cleveland, Ohio. Formed in August 1998, the group was a member of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal scene. The band's name is derived from the word Chimera, a monstrous creature in Greek mythology. Throughout its history, the band had numerous line-up changes, leaving vocalist Mark Hunter as the only constant member. The band dissolved in 2014, but announced reunions in 2017 and 2023 with most of the group's longtime members rejoined.

History

Early days (1998–1999)
Prior to Chimaira, vocalist Mark Hunter and bassist Jim LaMarca were part of a hardcore band named Skipline, which lasted 2 years from 1996 to 1998. Shortly before Skipline's first ever Rhode Island show, the group were carjacked of their van (along with all of the inside equipment), which left the 4-piece band to find their way back to Ohio and effectively ended Skipline. Soon after the experience, Hunter was contacted by guitarist Jason Hager, who was part of a local Cleveland metalcore band known as Ascension, to form a new group. Hunter was ecstatic about the opportunity and agreed. Hunter and Hager together recruited friends and previous bandmates Jason Genaro on drums and Andrew Ermlick on bass to complete the required positions for a line-up. Chimaira was officially founded in August 1998.

After a few practices, the four decided that the band needed to thicken their sound and Ermlick recommended that Rob Arnold, a former bandmate from his time in Common Thread, could be recruited into the band as guitarist. Arnold's band at the time, Sanctum, had recently split, and he was available to join Chimaira. By 1999, Arnold joined the band soon after as lead guitarist to which Hager was then moved to play rhythm.

The band recorded its first demo in January 1999, and during the recording, Arnold recommended to Hunter and Hager that they replace Genaro with Arnold's former drummer Andols Herrick in the band Sanctum. After observing a cassette recording featuring Herrick's percussion, the band agreed to replace Genaro in favor of Herrick. Herrick then came along to the studio with the other four and recorded the drums for the demo the very next day.

The band spent much of 1999 doing various live shows around the United States, and during that year Andrew Ermlick left the band to concentrate on his college studies, and was replaced by Rob Lesniak.

The band recorded a second demo during that year, and it began to receive widespread airplay on several college radio stations around the area. After landing a spot performing "Dead Inside" on the short lived USA Network show Farmclub.com, Chimaira was signed to Roadrunner Records.

This Present Darkness and Pass out of Existence (2000–2002)

Eventually, the band recorded their debut EP, This Present Darkness, which was released in 2000 via independent label East Coast Empire, and charted in the top 10 at Metal Radio. Shortly after the release of TPD, Chimaira aligned with manager and A&R scout Thom Hazaert (who would go on to run prominent independent labels Corporate Punishment Records and THC Music), a longtime friend of sampler Chris Spicuzza, and continued to tour the US, playing consistently with bands including Hatebreed and God Forbid. The band recorded demo versions of several new tracks including "Dead Inside" (which the band performed on Farm Club and would go on to become a fan favorite), "Severed", and "Taste My...", as well as a cover of The Cure's "Fascination Street", which Hazaert shopped, eventually gaining interest from several major labels. During this time, the band also contributed a cover of the Accept classic "Balls to the Wall" to the ECW Wrestling album Anarchy Rocks Vol. 2.

The band went on to sign with Roadrunner Records and quickly recorded its debut album Pass out of Existence in 2001 with Producer Mudrock. By this time Jim LaMarca was now bassist and Chris Spicuzza was handling all electronics duties. Shortly after the release of the album and the tour that was to follow, Jason Hager left the band when he discovered he was going to become a father. Matt DeVries, who also previously played in Ascension (with Hager), was recruited to take over as rhythm guitarist. Released October 2, 2001, Pass out of Existence would also feature a guest appearance from Deftones' guitarist Stephen Carpenter on the track "Rizzo".

The Impossibility of Reason (2003–2004)
The band returned home in late 2002 to begin writing and recording its next full-length album, The Impossibility of Reason. The making of the album was documented and later seen on their debut DVD release called The Dehumanizing Process. After the release and ensuing tours, drummer Andols Herrick decided to leave the band. As evidenced in the DVD documentary, Herrick appeared to be unenthusiastic about constantly being on the road. He returned home to attend college to obtain a music degree.

Chimaira eventually welcomed Ricky Evensand as its new drummer. Hailing from Sweden, Evensand was a part of Soilwork for a short time. Evensand's stay in Chimaira was relatively short-lived. Going on advice from Slayer guitarist Kerry King, Hunter contacted Kevin Talley, an experienced death metal drummer who had previously been in the bands Dying Fetus and Misery Index. With Talley on board, the band finished its remaining tour dates before returning home for some downtime. They soon began the writing and recording process on their next album. Songs from the album were featured on MythBusters for the episode "Talking to Plants".

Chimaira (2005–2006)
By the first quarter of 2005, the band had finished most of its next release and began to tour once again. The self-titled album, the first (and only) one featuring Talley, was released in August 2005 while the band was taking part in the inaugural Sounds of the Underground tour. Hunter and DeVries had also taken part in another musical project that year, Roadrunner Records' twenty-fifth anniversary CD entitled The All-Star Sessions. Also taking part in the recording of several songs was former drummer Andols Herrick. These recording sessions reignited Herrick's interest of being in a full-time band. The band also co-headlined the Kings of Cleveland concert with Mushroomhead.

Resurrection (2007–2008)

In 2006, the band was released from its contract with Roadrunner Records and eventually signed with Ferret Records for United States distribution. The band also acquired a deal with Nuclear Blast for international operations. The band was said to be excited about its new deals, and its fourth full-length studio album Resurrection, which was released on March 6, 2007. The band has stated they felt "rejuvenated" after its split with Roadrunner and the readmission of Herrick on drums. The only downside of this happy event was that the band decided to call off the Eastpak Antidote tour with Soilwork, Sonic Syndicate and Caliban. Chimaira was replaced by Dark Tranquillity. In 2008, Chimaira joined Brendon Small on the Dethklok tour 2008 as a guest appearance.

The Infection (2009–2010)

Before the release of the album, the band had been posting short clips on the webpage from the upcoming album, which was written in Cleveland, Ohio with producer Ben Schigel, who previously produced the band's album The Impossibility of Reason and their self-titled album. The new album, entitled The Infection, is mixed by Zeuss, who mixed and produced albums for Hatebreed and Shadows Fall. Chimaira stated that they were pushing for an April 21, 2009 release date on the new album. At its annual Chimaira Christmas show on December 30, 2008, they debuted a new song entitled "Secrets of the Dead."

The first single of the album "Secrets of the Dead" was released March 3, 2009. The Infection was released worldwide on April 21, 2009, and debuted at number 30 on the Billboard 200. During a number of European tour dates supporting The Infection, Chimaira had Emil Werstler of Dååth filling in for Matt DeVries, as DeVries' girlfriend had their first child.

The 10th annual Chimaira Christmas show was held at the House of Blues in Cleveland Ohio on December 27, 2009, and was filmed for a live DVD titled Coming Alive, which was released in 2010.

In late 2010, bassist Jim LaMarca retired from the band. Chimaira released the following statement regarding his departure
"After a decade of good times and achievements, our friend and band mate Jim LaMarca [bass] has decided to retire from CHIMAIRA. We wish him nothing but the best as he settles in and starts a family. As for seeking a replacement ... we'll cross that bridge down the line. In the meantime, consider it 'business as usual' with the CHIMAIRA you know and love."

The Age of Hell, line-up changes, Crown of Phantoms, and split (2011–2014)

On January 24, 2011, it was confirmed that Chimaira were signed to eOne Music.

Chimaira finished recording their 6th album in March 2011, expected to be released in August 2011. Also in March, Chimaira released a cover of The Troggs' "Wild Thing" as a single on YouTube and iTunes, in response to the "Charlie Sheen phenomenon."

On April 5, 2011, keyboardist and programmer Chris Spicuzza announced he would be leaving the band (a decision he made in January), citing a "negative environment" and the general state of the music industry. He also announced his next project, a mobile gaming startup called IRL Gaming. Spicuzza did not contribute to the new album.

On April 13, drummer Andols Herrick announced that he too would be leaving the band due to differences.  He was asked to leave by the other members of the band. Andols has technically been out of the band since December 2010 (prior to Chimaira Christmas 11). It was not announced until April 2011, however.  Herrick was asked to rejoin the band, but he declined.  He has said he looks forward to moving on with other musical projects. He said that there is no bad blood between the band and himself, and that they all remain friends. Herrick did not contribute to the new album, however he was around during the time of the song-writing and assures the fans through his Facebook page that the new album is sounding pure as ever. On May 28, at Peabody's in Cleveland, OH, the new album was revealed to be titled The Age of Hell that was met with the debut live performance of the song "Trigger Finger" which will be included on the record.

The Age of Hell was released in the US on August 16, 2011. Frontman Mark Hunter states, "Words can't express what it took to create this album. We hope you love it as much as we do. Turn it up loud, this is Chimaira at [its] finest." The album was also released in the UK through Metal Hammer magazine.
In November 2011, Mark Hunter released a statement stating that guitarists Matt DeVries and Rob Arnold are leaving Chimaira after Chimaira Christmas '11. He added that they are leaving for 'personal reasons'.

It was confirmed that Emil Werstler will be replacing Rob Arnold as the lead guitarist, meanwhile Matt Szlachta from Dirge Within and Jeremy Creamer from Dååth will be handling rhythm guitar and bass duties respectively.

On December 29, 2012, Chimaira Christmas 13 revealed a new song from the upcoming 2013 album, titled "I Despise". The same day an official teaser for the new album was added to YouTube, titled Chimaira 2013. On April 18, 2013, the band released a teaser video on their YouTube channel revealing the album title, Crown of Phantoms, and a release date, July 30, 2013.

On August 31, 2014, Emil Werstler departed to pursue a solo career. The rest of the band mutually decided to part ways.

On September 4, 2014, Mark Hunter announced the formal break-up of Chimaira.

Reunions

2017 Chimaira Christmas reunion
In late 2017 guitarist Rob Arnold uploaded an image depicting the numbers "1514688300". It was later revealed to be a Unix timestamp of the date and time of the band's reunion show. On June 21, 2017, ThePRP.com announced that a one-off reunion of the band's "classic" lineup would take place on December 30, 2017, during the group's Chimaira Christmas event, which would be seven years since this line-up performed together. The band later shared this news on their official Facebook page, confirming the news.

On December 15, it was announced that drummer Andols Herrick would no longer be a part of the reunion show due to health issues, and that former Chimaira drummer Austin D'Amond would be his replacement.

Canceled 2020 Christmas reunion
On October 14, 2020, Arnold revealed that Chimaira had begun planning another reunion show; Chimaira Christmas 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these plans were put on hold. "[the show] had been booked but it hadn't been announced yet. We weren't gonna announce it until maybe mid summer". Arnold was hesitant to say that the band was alive but did say that it was "certainly reawakened and was prepped to emerge". Arnold also said that there was discussion of putting together new music, that riffs had been passed around but no full songs had been completed and there were no immediate plans to record or release a new album.

2023 reunion

On December 13, 2022, the band announced two reunion shows to take place in May 2023 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Impossibility of Reason. Five months later their Instagram account posted an image of the band’s logo with “XXV” in the middle, potentially hinting at a 25th anniversary event.

Musical style
Chimaira's music is considered nu metal (particularly in their earlier albums), groove metal and metalcore, with elements of death metal, thrash metal, hardcore punk, and industrial metal.

 or 6:40.00 on 5000 m
 or 4:15.00 on 3000 m
 or 4:20.00 on 3000 m

For the mass start and team pursuit events, skaters who had achieved any one of the above results qualified. However, every ISU member nation was allowed to enter a maximum of one skater per gender who had not achieved any of these results, provided that they had achieved a 1500 m result of 1:57.50 (men) or 2:10.00 (women).

Nation quotas

Every ISU member nation was allowed to enter at least one competitor for each distance, subject to the qualification criteria above. Additionally, skaters placed among the top 32 in the final 2013–14 World Cup, or included in the final qualifying list (including the reserve list) of the 2014 Winter Olympics, for the distance category concerned, was allowed entry.

N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express said, "It is a hell of a story. Attempted rape, rape, suicide, murder, revenge, songs, dances, fights, all pieced together in an absurd, thoroughly contrived, exploitative jumble".

title: CIFA (computer)

text:
CIFA is the acronym for "Calculatorul Institutului de Fizică Atomică" ().

CIFA-1, the first Romanian computer, was built in 1957 under the guidance of Victor Toma. The experimental first-generation model CIFA-1 was reproduced in small numbers both in the original variant with vacuum tubes as well as in two variants using transistors: CIFA-10X and CET 500.

CIFA-1 was Romanias contribution to the development of computers in socialist countries (together with the USSR, the GDR, Polish People's Republic and CSSR).

CIFA-1

The logic designs for CIFA-1 started in 1953, at the Academy Physics Institute in Măgurele, with Victor Toma as the head of the project.  It was presented at the International Symposium in Dresden in 1955, and the prototype, which used 1500 vacuum tubes, a cylindrical magnet memory and machine code programming, was finished in 1957. Its size was that of three chifforobes, it had a paper tape input and a typewriter output and was able of solving 50 operations per second.

CIFA-1 was in use for two years. After it was decommissioned, it was scrapped and no part of it survived today.

Later computers
Later CIFA computers were CIFA-2 (800 vacuum tubes) in 1959, CIFA-3 (for the Bucharest University's Computer Center) in 1961 and CIFA-4 in 1962. Other Romanian computers of the era are MECIPT-1 (1961), MECIPT-2 (1964) at the Polytechnic Institute of Timișoara, MARICA, DACICC-1 and DACICC-200 at the T. Popoviciu Institute of Numerical Analysis, Cluj-Napoca.

VITOSHA was the first Bulgarian computer, built in 1962-1963 on the basis of a cultural agreement between the Romanian and Bulgarian Academies of Science. It was based on CIFA-3.

title: Gambhari Devi

text:
Gambhari Devi (1922 – 8 January 2013) was a veteran Indian folk singer, folklorist and dancer from Bilaspur district, Himachal Pradesh, noted for her contribution to the folk culture of Himachal Pradesh.

She was awarded the Tagore Akademi Award (Tagore Akademi Puruskar) by the Sangeet Natak Akademi, the National Academy for Music, Dance and Drama in 2011, given to 100 artists from across India to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, for her contribution in the field of performing arts. In 2001 she received award from Himachal Academy of Arts. She died on 8 January 2013 at the age of 91.

Life experiences
She was born in Bandla village of Bilaspur district in Himachal Pradesh in 1922. She started performing at the age of 8. She married at an early age like the other girls of the village which normally would have debarred her from singing and dancing. However, she persisted in folk performance despite the stigma attached to it.

Her life
Such was her talent that society slowly forgot her social stigma and started inviting her to perform on various occasions. She eventually became so popular that no function could be complete without her performance. Such was her impact that she came to be seen as an idol of romance. People started gathering from far away places for her performances and the same locality considered marriage ceremonies unceremonious without her performance and attendance. She was considered a matinee idol of her time. She was accompanied by a drummer and a wrestler (Pistu urf Basanta Pehlwaan) who also become a legend along with Devi. This couple, never legally married, faced a great deal of hostility from conservative society. They could enjoy her performances but could not accept her liberal behaviour. Devi later sacrificed her love and on request of Devi herself, Basanta Pehlwaan later married another woman.

She continued performing till her later ages. She was not feeling well though and she discontinued performing because of her health issues in last few months of her life.

Awards
She won several hearts through her extraordinary boldness, singing and dancing traits.
 She received Tagore Akademi Award (Tagore Akademi Puruskar) by the Sangeet Natak Akademi in 2011.
 Achievement Award from HImachal Academy of Arts in 2001.

title: Castra Peregrina

text:
The Castra Peregrina ("camp of the strangers") was a castrum (a military barracks) in Rome situated on the Caelian Hill. It was occupied by various military units during the later part of the Roman Empire.

Location and archaeology
The barracks are situated on the Caelian Hill between the Temple of Claudius and Nero's Macellum Magnum. It is centrally located on a hill known for its housing of wealthy Romans. The fourth-century Regionaries list the Castra Peregrina in regio II.

The remains of the camp were discovered during digging for the foundations of a convent and hospital and partially excavated from 1904 to 1909. It can now be found just south-east of the well preserved church Santo Stefano al Monte Celio.

Within the castra was a shrine (templum) of Jupiter Redux erected in honour of Severus and Mammaea by a centurio frumentarius. A carving of the construction of the barracks was found at Ostia; on a column in the Square of the Corporations. In the initial excavation of the barracks, stone ships were also found; these were made by soldiers thanking the gods for protecting them from shipwrecks (see Fontana della Navicella) and provides further evidence of the spread of the barracks' frumentarii across the provinces.

Function
It has been claimed by some authors, as the name suggests, that the barracks housed a garrison of peregrini, non-citizens and free subjects of the empire. Others, however, dispute this claim and have proposed that the barracks housed Roman citizens; if so, the name would not imply the lack of citizenship but rather refer to the fact that they were detached away from the legions for special services in Rome and elsewhere. They consisted of a majority of frumentarii and inscriptions suggest that the Castra Peregrina acted as a central base for the distribution of these men throughout the unarmed provinces (inermes). The frumentarii, who were likely based, and not only housed, at the Castra Peregrina, were initially involved in the provision supply service of Rome, but were later employed as military couriers and members of the secret service.

History
Richardson suggests that the brickwork demonstrates an Augustan origin with a second century A.D. rebuilding, probably under Severus, and another rebuilding in third century A.D. However the earliest mention of the princeps peregrinorum (camp-commandant) in Rome was during the reign of Trajan. It is also mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus, showing that it was in use as late as the fourth century A.D.

title: Tom Alsop

text:
Thomas Philip Alsop (born 26 November 1995) is an English first-class cricketer. Born in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Alsop is a left-handed batsman who plays as a wicket-keeper, and plays for Sussex.

Career

Tipped for a bright future and a big talent, Alsop was educated at Lavington School. Alsop has played for the Hampshire Cricket Academy in the Southern Premier Cricket League since 2010; during this time Alsop has finished within the top three averages of the league on more than one occasion. In the 2014 season he finished with the highest average in the league, 86.71, scoring 609 runs in just nine innings. In January 2013 he was called up to the England Under-19 following an injury to captain Shiv Thakor, playing four Youth One Day Internationals against South Africa Under-19s during the tour. In May 2013, he played two Minor Counties Trophy matches for Wiltshire against Lincolnshire and Suffolk. In that same month he was required as a substitute wicket-keeper for Hampshire in their Yorkshire Bank 40 match against Lancashire following an injury during the warm-up to Adam Wheater. During this YB40 game Alsop took a smart catch behind the stumps to dismiss Croft. For the start of the 2014 season, Alsop was awarded a development contract with Hampshire.  This was a result of impressing against a strong Surrey attack in a pre-season friendly. Later in the season he made his senior debut in a  List A match against Gloucestershire. The following day he made his Youth Test debut for England Under-19s against South Africa Under-19s, having been called up to the under-19 Test squad earlier in July. Alsop went on to impress immensely with the bat during the summer series against South Africa scoring 107 off 83 balls at Trent bridge, and then went on to score a half century the next day.

Alsop is the 528th player to have played for Hampshire and on 15.9 2014 he made his first-class debut against Kent at the Ageas Bowl. He was also a member of the 2014 LV county championship division two winning side in Cardiff.

At the end of the 2016 season, Alsop was selected for the upcoming England Lions tour to the UAE and Sri Lanka in the new year. In Sri Lanka he shared a record partnership with Daniel Bell-Drummond in the fourth ODI.

In 2018 Tom Alsop was a key player in Hampshire's success in the Royal London One day cup, he went on to score 72 in the final becoming the youngest Lord's final half centurion. The following year in 2019 Alsop helped Hampshire reach another Lord's final.

At the end of the 2021 domestic season Tom Alsop was awarded his county cap by Hampshire CCC.

In March 2022, Alsop was loaned to Sussex for the 2022 season and later signed a permanent contract with the team in early June.

title: Otay Mesa East Port of Entry

text:
The Otay Mesa East Port of Entry is a planned border crossing between San Diego and Tijuana, approximately 2 miles east of the existing Otay Mesa Port of Entry. The crossing will connect the Otay Centenario borough of Tijuana with East Otay Mesa in unincorporated San Diego County, an as-yet undeveloped area slotted for future development including a business park. Although the crossing will allow cars and pedestrians, it is mainly designed for trucks and commercial vehicles.

In July 2014, Mexican Undersecretary of Infrastructure of the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation Raúl Murrieta Cummings and the Secretary of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Brian P. Kelly, signed a memorandum of understanding to build and put the new port of entry into operation. It was expected to be ready as early as 2017, and provide 27 northbound lanes from Tijuana to San Diego and 8 southbound lanes. The cost is estimated to be 2 billion Mexican pesos (about  million US dollars).

Construction began at the initial ground breaking in August 2022, after long delays. Although earlier estimates suggested the project would be completed by late 2024, more recent estimates suggest construction may not be complete until 2026.

title: Son of the Stars

text:
Son of the Stars is a science fiction novel by American writer by Raymond F. Jones, first published in the United States in 1952 by The John C. Winston Company.

This is one of the thirty-five juvenile novels that comprise the Winston Science Fiction set, which novels were published in the 1950s for a readership of teen-aged boys.  The typical protagonist in these books was a boy in his late teens who was proficient in the art of electronics, a hobby that was easily available to the readers.  In this story Ron Barron is typical in having a ham radio set up in a shed in the back yard of his parents' house.

Plot
Early one morning sixteen-year-old Ron Barron, accompanied by his pet collie, Pete, drives his hot rod out of the small town of Longview and up into the nearby hills.  He is hunting for the object that his automatic meteor tracker had detected in the wee hours of that morning.  After half a day of fruitless searching he finds what he was seeking, but it is not what he expected.

It is the wreckage of a ship, a disc-shaped vessel two hundred feet wide and forty feet thick at the center.  As he examines the ship, Ron encounters the lone survivor of the crash, a boy about his age, who has six fingers on each hand.  Ron is wary at first, but Pete is friendly toward the alien, so Ron relaxes his wariness and takes the injured boy, still in shock, home with him.

There he finds his girlfriend, Anne Martin, waiting to chide him over a missed tennis date.  As he takes the alien boy into the house and up to the guest bedroom, Anne takes his car to get Doc Smithers, the Barrons' family physician.

Smithers cleans and treats the boy's wounds as best he can and confirms the obvious:  The boy is not of this Earth.  With the boy awake, Ron introduces himself, Anne, and Doc Smithers to him through the simple point-and-say.  The boy introduces himself as Clonar and shows a strange aptitude for picking up English in its proper form.  At about the same time Pete brings Clonar a package of raw hamburger that he took from the refrigerator and Clonar eats it eagerly, giving himself the protein that he needs to heal properly.  He then goes to sleep.

Ron's parents are astonished when they come home and find out what happened.  His mother, identified only as Mrs. Barron, is horrified.  His father, George Barron, a lawyer, takes a more tolerant view, not quite trusting Pete's judgement of Clonar, but willing to give Clonar a small benefit of the doubt.  He intends to resolve the matter by turning it over to an acquaintance of his, Colonel Middleton at Crocker Air Force Base, some fifty miles from Longview.

Over the next few days Ron and Anne teach Clonar more English, which he picks up with astounding rapidity.  By way of an astronomy book they learn that Clonar's home lies somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy.  Clonar also confirms Ron's suspicion that he has been communicating with Pete, that his people have a slight telepathic ability to share simple thoughts with animals.

Two days after Ron found the wreck, he and Clonar return to it intending to bury the bodies of the crew, including those of Clonar's father and brother.  They find that the ship has been taken over by a military unit commanded by Captain Hornsby, a self-important opportunist devoted to practical realism, a cynical and amoral doctrine that imputes value only to things of immediate benefit.  After Clonar gives Ron and Hornsby a tour of what's left of the ship the three of them come to a room where technicians are preparing the bodies of the crew for dissection.  Outraged by the desecration, Clonar goes berserk, seriously injuring several men before the rest bring him down and beat him unconscious.

Lieutenant General Gillispie comes from Washington to take over command of the project from Col. Middleton.  He immediately pulls Hornsby and his men out of the ship and reprimands them for their behavior, but not before technicians have disassembled the ship's hyperwave radio, which Clonar could have used to call the fleet, which is presumably still looking for the lost ship.  He also allows Ron and Anne to visit Clonar, who is effectively imprisoned in a Veterans Administration hospital.  Other visitors try to obtain information from Clonar, but when Clonar finds out that Gillispie tried to get Ron and Anne to interrogate him, he escapes from the hospital and disappears.

Nearly a week after Clonar disappears, Anne conceives the idea of asking Pete to find him, assuming that he still has a telepathic link to him.  Pete leads Ron and Anne to a hidden compartment in the wrecked spaceship and there they find Clonar, unwilling to have anything further to do with Earth people.  He has found several lifeboats intact and is trying to modify their hyperwave radios to call for a rescue ship.

Later that night Ron gets a call from Clonar on his ham radio.  Clonar made his hyperwave radios work, but they don't have enough power to send a signal to the alien fleet.  With Gillispie's help, Ron and Clonar get permission to use the transmitters at Crocker Air Force Base to boost Clonar's signal.  After days of feverish and desperate work, Clonar makes contact with the fleet commander, who sends a scout ship to pick up Clonar and take him home.

title: Pasty (horse)

text:
Pasty (1 May 1973 – 12 February 1993) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was the leading two-year-old filly of her generation in Britain in 1975 when she was undefeated in five races including the Lavant Stakes, Lowther Stakes and Cheveley Park Stakes. She failed to progress as a three-year-old and finished no better than fourth in her five races. She was then retired to become a broodmare and produced at least three minor winners.

Background
Pasty was a "neat, well-made" grey mare bred in England by her owner Percival Williams. She was from the second crop of foals sired by Raffingora, a very fast horse who won the King George Stakes and several major handicap races including the Cherkley Sprint Handicap at Epsom Downs Racecourse when he ran five furlongs in 53.89 seconds under a weight of 140 pounds. He was beginning to make a mark as a breeding stallion in Europe when he was exported to Japan in 1973. Pasty's dam Ma Marie was a granddaughter of the broodmare Scotia's Glen, whose other descendants included the 2000 Guineas winner Our Babu and the Eclipse Stakes winner King of the Tudors.

Like Williams' other good horses, which included May Hill, Pasty was sent into training with Peter Walwyn at Lambourn in Berkshire.

Racing career

1975: two-year-old season
Pasty began her racing career in the Dr Abernethy Maiden Plate over five furlongs at Wolverhampton Racecourse in June. Racing against moderate opposition she took the lead in the final furlong and won by one and a half lengths. In July she won a minor race over five furlongs at Sandown Park Racecourse and was then moved up in class for the Lavant Stakes over the same distance at Goodwood Racecourse. Receiving weight from her three opponents, she started odds-on favourite and won by one and a half lengths from the Ian Balding-trained Key to the Kingdom. In August, Pasty, ridden by Pat Eddery started at odds of 15/8 for the Group Two Lowther Stakes over six furlongs at York Racecourse. She was one of five fillies still in contention a furlong from the finish and drew ahead to win by a length from the Seaton Delaval Stakes winner Sweet Nightingale from whom she was receiving three pounds.

In October the filly was again ridden by Eddery when she started at odds of 9/1 for the Cheveley Park Stakes, which was then the only Group One race in Britain restricted to two-year-old fillies. The race attracted an international field including the Irish filly Petipa (winner of the Moyglare Stud Stakes) who started favourite, and the French challenger Guichet. The British runners included Nagwa (already the winner of nine races), Outer Circle (Princess Margaret Stakes), Hayloft (Molecomb Stakes) and Western Jewel (runner-up to the colt Vitiges in the Group One Prix Robert Papin). Despite an unfavourable draw on the outside of the fourteen-runner field Pasty took the lead two furlongs from the finish and held off several challengers to win by a neck from the 33/1 outsider Dame Foolish with Solar a neck away in third.

1976: three-year-old season
Pasty began her three-year-old season in the Fred Darling Stakes over seven furlongs at Newbury Racecourse in April in which she finished fourth behind Rowantree, Solar and Manilata. In the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket, Pasty started 12/1 second favourite but made little impression, finishing twentieth of the twenty-five runners behind the French-trained favourite Flying Water. At Royal Ascot she again ran poorly, finishing last of the eight runners behind Kesar Queen. She was then dropped in class but did not recover her form, finishing unplaced in two handicap races over six furlongs.

Assessment
There was no International Classification of European two-year-olds in 1975: the official handicappers of Britain, Ireland and France compiled separate rankings for horses which competed in those countries. In the British Free Handicap, Pasty was the top-rated two-year-old filly, a pound ahead of Dame Foolish and eight behind the leading colt Wollow. The independent Timeform organisation awarded her a rating of 122, six pounds below the French filly Theia. Timeform did not award the filly a rating as a three-year-old.

Breeding record
Pasty was retired from racing to become a broodmare and produced at least ten foals between 1978 and 1991. Pasty died in Australia on 12 February 1993.

Cornish Granite (grey colt, foaled in 1978, sired by Ragstone), won one race

title: Social Democratic Alliance of Moldova

text:
The Social Democratic Alliance of Moldova (, ASDM) was a political party in Moldova.

History
The party was established on 19 April 1997 as the Civic Alliance for Reform (Alianţa Civică pentru Reforme). It joined the Civic Alliance "Ant" coalition to contest the 1998 parliamentary elections. The alliance finished sixth with 3.3% of the vote, but failed to win a seat. On 27 November 1999 the party held its third congress, at which it was agreed to rename the party Social Democracy Party "Ant" (Partidul Democraţiei Sociale "Furnica").

In 2001 the party joined the Braghiş Alliance, an electoral alliance set up by Prime Minister Dumitru Braghiș to contest the 2001 parliamentary elections. The Alliance won 19 seats in the elections, emerging as the second-largest faction in Parliament behind the Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova, which won 71 seats.

At the fourth party congress on 15 December 2001, 645 of the 647 party members present voted to change the party's name again, this time to Social Democratic Alliance of Moldova. Braghiș was also elected as the party's leader. In January 2002 the Plai Natal social-political movement led by Vladimir Babii merged into the party.

On 19 July 2003 the party's fifth congress voted to merge the party into the Our Moldova Alliance.

title: Basimglurant

text:
Basimglurant (INN) (developmental code names RG-7090, RO-4917523) is a negative allosteric modulator of the mGlu5 receptor which is under development by Roche and Chugai Pharmaceutical for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression (as an adjunct) and fragile X syndrome. As of November 2016, it has undergone phase II clinical trials for both of these indications.

It was discovered in a medicinal chemistry effort conducted at Roche starting from the results of a small molecular weight compound library high-throughput screen based on a Ca21 mobilization assay with human mGlu5a (Jaeschke et al., 2015). The high-throughput screen identified several mGlu5 antagonists such as MPEP, MTEP, and fenobam. In partnership with Chugai Pharmaceutical, basimglurant is currently still undergoing revision from previous drug trials as of November 2016.

Pharmacology

Mechanism of action
Preclinical research trials found that basimglurant has a high specificity for the glutamate receptor mGlu5, and as a consequence of this specificity, also has a high level of safety.

Pharmacokinetics
Preclinical drug trials showed that basimglurant possessed a terminal half-life of 7 hours in rats and 20 hours in monkeys, indicating a dosing regimen of once daily in possible human patients. Research with rats and monkeys revealed a bioavailability of 50%, with additional studies showing that basimglurant has a rate of plasma protein binding of 98 to 99%.

Clinical trials
Phase I clinical trials for basimglurant began in April 2015, and finished in September 2015. 56 people were spread out among 4 healthy cohorts, a major depressive disorder cohort, and a placebo cohort. The trial was undertaken to study (and verify) the safety of basimglurant as a potential drug. Completion of this trial allowed for basimglurant to begin phase II drug trials.

Phase II clinical trials have been undertaken, and a lack of efficacy was found overall. Improved secondary endpoints though of 1.5 mg dosage has prompted future clinical trials of the drug.

Future
Basimglurant has shown the desired characteristics of a drug with high bioavailability, few safety liabilities, and promise in the secondary endpoints of a phase IIb trial. Basimglurant will most likely undergo future iterations and attempt to pass drug trials again due to the large investment already poured into the drug to develop it this far.

History
Basimglurant was originally developed for the treatment of fragile X syndrome, but after failing phase II clinical trials Roche abandoned the drug in this field of application and is renewing basimglurant as part of a treatment for depression.

title: Nathalie Moellhausen

text:
Nathalie Moellhausen (born 1 December 1985) is an épée fencer who initially represented Italy and now  represents Brazil. In 2019, she became her country's first-ever individual World Champion in épée at the Championships held in Budapest, Hungary. With the Italy team, she won the team World championship in 2009 and team European championship in 2007. Representing Brazil, she won the women's individual épée World Champion title in 2019 in Budapest, Hungary.

Early life
Moellhausen was born in Milan to an Italian-German father and a Brazilian mother, stylist Valeria Ferlini. Nathalie holds dual citizenship.

At age five, she began fencing at her school, then at CS Mangiarotti, where she trained under Nicola Pomarnasky, then Sandro Resegotti. She won in 2004 a bronze medal at the Junior World Championships in Plovdiv.

Career
At the age of 18, she joined C.S. Aeronautica Militare, the sport section of the Italian Air Force, and moved to Paris to be coached by Daniel Levavasseur, who was training Laura Flessel at the time. The 2008–09 season saw her climb her first World Cup podium with a bronze medal in the Doha Grand Prix. Bronzes followed it in Tauberbischofsheim and Budapest, silver in the Montreal World Cup, and gold in the Lobnya World Cup. In the 2009 World Championships in Antalya, she was stopped in the round of 32, but in the team event, she conquered Italy's first gold in women's épée along with Bianca Del Carretto, Francesca Quondamcarlo and Cristiana Cascioli. Moellhausen finished the season No.8 in world rankings, her personal best as of 2014.

In the 2009–10 season, Moellhausen won a silver medal in the Rome Grand Prix. In the World Championships at Paris, she made her way to the semi-finals, where she was defeated by Emese Szász of Hungary and came away with the bronze medal. In the team event Italy were overcome by Estonia in the table of 16 and could not defend their title.

A string of injuries plagued Moellhausen's pre-Olympic season. She, however, won the bronze medal in the 2011 European Championships in Sheffield after being defeated in the semi-final by Switzerland's Tiffany Géroudet. In the World Championships in Catania, she fell in the table of 32 to South Korea's Jung Hyo-jung. In the team event, Italy reached the semi-finals, where China defeated them. They met Germany in the small final and prevailed 45–33 to win the bronze medal.

Moellhausen was selected for the 2012 Summer Olympics only as a reserve for the team. Italy was defeated in the quarterfinals by the United States and earned no medal. After the Games, Moellhausen took a break in her sport career and assumed the artistic direction of the 2013 centenary gala of the International Fencing Federation at the Grand Palais in Paris.

She announced in early 2014 her decision to come back to competition, this time under the Brazilian flag. She explained that fencing for Brazil, which has no other female épée fencer in the Top 100, allows her to aim for a qualification to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro while pursuing a professional career. She went back to training under Levavasseur and Laura Flessel. She was eliminated in the first round in her two first competitions since the 2012 Olympics, the Barcelona Grand Prix and the Rio World Cup, but she reached the quarterfinals in the Pan American Championships. In the 2014 World Championships in Kazan, she was knocked out in the first round by Italy's Rossella Fiamingo, who would eventually win the gold medal.

In the 2016 Olympics, Moellhausen reached the quarterfinals of the épée tournament, the best Olympic result Brazil ever had at this sport.

At the 2019 World Championships, Moellhausen was the only non-top-16 female épée fencer to reach the final four. She won her first two matches comfortably, beating Poland's Renata Knapik-Miazga 15–12 in the first round and China's Mingye Zhu 15–10 in the second. She won her round of 16 against Italy's Alberta Santuccio. Moellhausen led throughout the match and eventually won, 15–14. After a dramatic 11-10 extra-time win over Lis Röttler-Fautsch from Luxembourg in the quarterfinals, she overcame No. 3 seed Vivian Kong from Hong Kong, China in the semis, 15–9. She finally won the final in extra time 13–12 against World No. 11, Sheng Lin from China to claim her first individual World Champion title and the first-ever medal at a World Fencing Championship for Brazil.

Nathalie promotes fencing for students in Brazil, performing social work activities in schools and in fencing clubs.

During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, Moellhausen has conducted virtual fencing training sessions on Instagram that have been promoted by FIE.

Artistic and Lifestyle
Nathalie took a break from fencing in 2013 when she took over as artistic director for FIE for events held in Europe.

In addition to artistic endeavours, Nathalie has ventured into modeling and social media branding. She walked the catwalk for Italian dressmaker Alberta Ferretti after winning team gold at the World Championships in 2009. Nathalie says of her work in fashion, "My idea is to develop fencing as not just a sport, but as an artistic form, like fashion."  She runs a fencing-related brand called 5 Touches, which offers lifestyle services in fashion, gastronomy, fitness, home goods, and more.

Segment info

"Opening the Door": Red chases a butterfly and Brown is sniffing flowers, when suddenly a door appears. Each caveman opens the door, but they have another idea. They push on the door many times, but give up. Red pulls out a key, which surprises Brown. He tries to fit the key to the door, but throws it away. Suddenly, a doorbell appears, and Brown rings it. The door finally opens, Red puts a hand on his tummy, and he and Brown go in and out the door, which they are so happy.

"Sandcastle Making": Brown and Red are making sandcastles. Brown pulls out a knight on his horse, and Red pulls out a dragon. They each add cannons, but eventually Red knocks over Brown's figurine. Brown then knocks over Red's figurine. Red gets so mad he wrecks his sandcastle. Then Brown wrecks up his sandcastle, too. Finally, Red gives Brown a hug, and they make a new sandcastle. They are now happy.

"Basketball": Brown and Red spot a pretty butterfly, until Brown pulls out a basketball hoop, which surprises Red. They wonder if they could throw a basketball, and then Red holds a rock, but it lands on Brown's foot. Then, Brown turns into a basketball, which makes Red laugh. Red turns into a basketball, too. They said they could throw each other into the hoop. Red thinks going in the air is fun.

"Poor Red": Red and Brown are playing with blocks together, when suddenly, Brown trips and falls and the block he is holding starts to land and smite Red on the foot, which hurts real bad. The poor caveman walks away, sobbing. Red is holding his hurt foot and Brown tells him he's sorry. But Red ignores him. After Red's foot stops hurting, he takes a nap. Brown tries his best to think, but soon he digs a hole and pulls out some flowers. When Red is still sleeping, Brown tries to give him flowers, but he gives up and throws them away. Suddenly, a wind passes by, which wakes up the sleeping caveman, causing him to shiver and whimper and his tummy hurting. Brown then covers him with a blanket, which makes him comfortable. Red's eyes open and is now happy and thanks Brown for helping him.

"Whistling": Red is thinking he could "whistle a happy tune through the whole planet". Red whistles, which surprises Brown. Red giggles, then whistles again. Brown keeps telling Red to make him whistle, but Red keeps whistling many times. Brown tries to whistle, but all that comes out is air. The poor caveman starts sobbing loudly which makes Red shocked. With tears streaming down his cheeks, Brown whimpers. Red tries to comfort him and whistles for him, which makes him happy. Brown tries his best to whistle but then lets out a whistle. He and Red are happy and laugh. At the end, all cavemen whistle together.

"Sharing a Chair": Brown and Red walk up tired and sweating. Brown tries to sit on a rock, but it is too flat. Red notices a cactus and then sits on it. Suddenly, the thorns pinch his rear end, causing him to scream and land on his tummy. He then pulls out a chair to Brown's surprise. Brown asks if he can sit in the chair, but Red ignores him. Brown sit's on a turtle's shell with a turtle's head peeking out, and drives him off the ground. Brown asks Red if he could sit in the chair with him. Both cavemen try to sit in the chair, but fall off. Brown has another idea. He pulls out a present for Red: a cuckoo with a turning hand. A smile spreads across Red's cheeks as he and Brown watch the clock and soon decide to take it to Red's house.

"Umbrella Sharing": Red and Brown are sitting under a rock on a sunny day, until some storm clouds appear and a lightning strike frightens them. They look up and they could see a drop appear. It is raining. Brown covers himself with a small rock, while Red hides under a large rock. Brown throws away the small rock, and pulls out an umbrella, which surprises Red. Red asks if he could cover himself with something. Brown walks away, until Red squirts his face with a hose, and then rubs his eyes and asks if he could share the umbrella with Brown, and Brown says yes. All cavemen are happy while sharing the umbrella.

title: Henry James Alderson

text:
Sir Henry James Alderson  (22 May 1834 – 10 September 1909) was a Canadian-British major-general in the Royal Artillery.

Life
Born in Quebec, Canada, on 22 May 1834, he was son of Lt.-Col. Ralph Carr Alderson of the Royal Engineers, by his wife Maria, daughter of Henry Thorold of Cuxwold, Lincolnshire; John Alderson the physician was his grandfather. Educated privately at Messrs. Stoton & Mayer's school at Wimbledon (1844–8), he entered the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, as a cadet, in May 1848.

Alderson received a commission as second lieutenant in the Royal Artillery on 23 June 1852, and served in Canada until 1854, when, on promotion to the rank of lieutenant, he returned to England. Serving through the Crimean War, he was present at the battle of Alma, battle of Inkerman, and at the siege of Sebastopol. He was mentioned in despatches, and received the medal with three clasps, the Turkish medal, and the legion d'honneur, third class.

Promoted to the rank of second captain on 1 April 1859, Alderson from February to June 1864 was attached on special mission during the American Civil War to the headquarters of the Federal Army under General Quincy Adams Gillmore during the civil war in the United States of America, and was present at the bombardment of Charleston. On his return to England Alderson joined the experimental department of the school of gunnery, Shoeburyness, and became successively captain on 6 July 1867; major 3 July 1872; lieutenant-colonel 1 October 1877; colonel (by brevet) 1 October 1881, and major-general 9 July 1892.

From 1871 Alderson held appointments in the department of the director of artillery at the War Office, and in 1891 became president of the ordnance committee. He held this post until his retirement from the army on 22 May 1896, on account of age. From 1897 until his death he was a director of Sir W G Armstrong Whitworth & Co, the gunmaking firm at Elswick, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Alderson was made C.B. on 21 June 1887; a K.C.B. on 30 May 1891; and was appointed colonel commandant in the Royal Artillery on 4 November 1905. He died at Durham on 10 September 1909.

Family
Alderson married in 1877 his second cousin, Florence, youngest daughter of Sir Edward Hall Alderson, baron of the exchequer, and had one son, Ralph Edward.

title: Louis-Eugène Faucher

text:
Louis Eugene Faucher (8 October 1874 - 30 March 1964) was a French general.

Faucher was graduate of École Polytechnique, and his abilities earned him a professorship of general tactics and engineering at the School of Applied Artillery in Fontainebleau, a position he held from 1901 to 1905. He joined the war college at the École Militaire and from 1910 and 1914 pursued a career in Central Administration at the Ministry of Defense.

During the Interwar period he was head of the French military mission in Czechoslovakia from 1926 to 1938. After the Franco-British ultimatum to the Czechoslovak government, he presented his resignation to the French government on 23 September 1938, but remained in Czechoslovakia. During World War II, Faucher was head of Region B (Southwest) of the Armée secrète, and was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944. Faucher remained incarcerated until the end of the war.

Faucher remained in Czechoslovakia after the war's end, and tried to revive the friendship between France and Czechoslovak, but was forced to abandon his mission after February 1948, when the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia overthrew the government in a coup d'état.  Thereafter, Faucher spent time in Prague helping exiles.

Faucher died in 1964; he was honored by the president of the Association of Czechoslovak Volunteers in France.

title: Vasily Shebuyev

text:
Vasily Kuzmich Shebuyev (; , in Kronstadt – , in Saint Petersburg) was a Russian painter, State Councilor and Rector at the Imperial Academy of Arts.

Biography
His father was of noble lineage and served as the ranking custodian of materiels at the Admiralty Board. His artistic abilities were noticed early and he began taking lessons at the Imperial Academy as soon as he was old enough. In 1794, he officially became a student there, studying under Ivan Akimov and Grigory Ugryumov. He won a silver after his first year, and a gold medal the year following. In 1797, he graduated with a first degree certificate. He immediately became an assistant teacher and, a year later, was entrusted with teaching drawing to younger students.

In 1803, he was sent on a fellowship to study in Rome, where he practiced copying the old masters and made anatomical drawings from observing dissections. Three years later, he was recalled to Saint Petersburg to participate in decorating the Kazan Cathedral. After that, his life became devoted to the Academy. He was named an Academician in 1807, rose through the ranks, and eventually became Rector of Painting and Sculpture in 1832. Ten years later his title became the "Honored Rector". In 1831, he used his anatomical drawing experience to create anatomy textbooks for art students. Among those who studied under him at the Academy, one may name Karl Briullov, Alexander Ivanov, Fyodor Bruni and Pyotr Basin.

In addition to his responsibilities there, he was appointed Director of the Imperial Tapestry Manufactory in 1831, having earlier been made a Court Painter in 1823, in which capacity he oversaw the creation of the church canopy at Tsarskoye Selo. He was also named Supervisor of Paintings for Saint Isaac's Cathedral in 1844.

Jaroslav Uhlíř (born 14 September 1945) is a Czech composer and pianist from Prague. In the early 1970s, he was a member of the rock bands Providence and Faraon, together with bassist Karel Šíp. Later, he composed music for Czechoslovak National Radio, where he met Zdeněk Svěrák. With him, Uhlíř released many albums of children's music. He also hosted the television show Hitšaráda and later Galašaráda, where he collaborated with Šíp. In the 1980s, Uhlíř formed the parody group Triky a pověry with Šíp and Petra Janů. Between 1988 and 2017, Uhlíř worked with Zdeněk Svěrák on the children's music television show Hodina zpěvu, which spawned a number of operettas, such as O Budulínkovi and O dvanácti měsícčkách. Three of these became the basis of the Jan Svěrák film Three Brothers in 2014.

Uhlíř has composed music for the films Long Live Ghosts! (1977), Waiter, Scarper! (1981), S čerty nejsou žerty (1984), Lotrando a Zubejda (1997), among others.
