title: Battle of Camp Wildcat

text:
The Battle of Camp Wildcat (also known as Wildcat Mountain and Camp Wild Cat) was one of the early engagements of the American Civil War (Civil War). It occurred October 21, 1861, in northern Laurel County, Kentucky during the campaign known as the Kentucky Confederate Offensive or Operations in Eastern Kentucky (1861). The battle is considered one of the first Union victories of the Civil War, and marked the second engagement of troops in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Background

Kentucky neutrality
On April 15, 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln called upon the States remaining in the Union to provide volunteers to suppress the insurrection in the seven States which had seceded from the Union by that date. Pro-Confederate Kentucky Governor Beriah Magoffin refused to send troops, but since the majority of the members of the Kentucky General Assembly were pro-Union, Lincoln's call for volunteers did not prompt the State to secede. On May 16, a Kentucky legislative committee recommended that the State remain neutral in the conflict and Governor Magoffin proclaimed the State's neutrality on May 20.

In elections on August 5, 1861, Kentucky voters returned a veto-proof majority of pro-Union members to the House of Representatives and Senate. On August 6, 1861, Camp Dick Robinson, a Union camp, was established near Lexington. On September 2, 1861, the Kentucky General Assembly raised the U.S. flag over the Kentucky State Capitol at Frankfort.

Confederate movements
On September 3, 1861, Confederate Maj. Gen. Leonidas Polk ordered Brig. Gen. Gideon Pillow to seize Columbus, Kentucky on the Mississippi River before Union forces could do so. This ended Kentucky's neutrality, led to Union Brig. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's seizure of Paducah, Kentucky on September 6, 1861, and other military movements and actions by both Union and Confederate armies in Kentucky soon afterwards.

Brig. Gen. Felix Zollicoffer's Confederates had moved from Tennessee to push from the Cumberland Gap into central Kentucky in an effort to gain control of that important border state. On September 14, 1861, ten days after his 5,400-man force left their base, Zollicoffer occupied the Cumberland Gap and took a position at the Cumberland Ford (near present-day Pineville, Kentucky) to counter Unionist activity in the area, where Union supporters had been organizing and training recruits from Kentucky and east Tennessee at Camp Andrew Johnson near Barbourville, Kentucky.

Battle of Barboursville and aftermath
On September 19, 1861, Zollicoffer sent about 800 men under Col. Joel A. Battle against Camp Andrew Johnson, which had largely been vacated, with the Union recruits having moved to nearby Camp Dick Robinson, where several thousand Federal troops were gathered under the command of Brig. Gen. George H. Thomas. As Battle's men approached Camp Johnson, they met a force of 300 pro-Union Home Guards under Capt. Isaac J. Black, who hastily removed the planking from the bridge to prevent the Confederates from crossing it. Sharp skirmishing broke out, but Battle's superior numbers prevailed and Zollicoffer's Confederates drove off Battle's men, with the Union force suffering 1 killed, 1 wounded and 13 captured and the Confederates losing 7 dead. His men seized the camp, destroyed the buildings, and captured the arms and equipment left behind by the retreating recruits.

Although Zollicoffer briefly withdrew to his camp at Cumberland Ford near Cumberland Gap, he sent a detachment of his men to drive off another Union Home Guard force at a camp at Laurel Bridge, in Laurel County, Kentucky soon after the Battle of Barboursville. On September 28, another Confederate detachment seized 200 barrels of salt and destroyed the Goose Creek Salt Works in Clay County, Kentucky. They returned to camp at Cumberland Ford on September 30. On October 16, Zollicoffer returned to the offensive in an effort to move into central Kentucky.

Union Army response
In response to Zollicoffer's actions, Union Brig. Gen. Thomas sent troops under Col. Theophilus T. Garrard to set up Camp Wildcat at Rockcastle Hills, near London, Kentucky, at the base of Wildcat Mountain  north of the salt works, in order to secure the ford on the Rockcastle River, and to obstruct the Wilderness Road passing through the area.

Col. Garrard informed Gen. Thomas that if he did not receive reinforcements, he would have to retreat. He reported he was outnumbered seven to one. Thomas sent Brig. Gen. Albin F. Schoepf with what amounted to a brigade of men to Col. Garrard, bringing the total Union force to about 7,000. Schoepf arrived on October 20, 1861, a day before Zollicoffer moved against the camp.

The Union force awaited Zollicoffer's Confederate troops who had to pass the stronghold at Camp Wildcat to proceed into central Kentucky. Zollicoffer was unaware that the camp had been reinforced and further mistook a column of Union reinforcements arriving during the afternoon of October 20 as the entire Union force preparing for battle. Union pickets skirmished with the Confederates on the evening of October 20 and returned to camp to report that a large Confederate force was nearby.

Battle

As the Confederates started up the Wilderness Road on the morning of October 21, 1861, Gen. Schoepf moved four companies of the 33rd Indiana Infantry Regiment, 350 men,  to the east of Camp Wildcat to Round Hill, a steep, high point along the road. Confederate pickets attacked the Union force just after they arrived at Round Hill, but the Confederates soon withdrew to report the situation to Gen. Zollicoffer. Zollicoffer sent most of two regiments, the 11th Tennessee Infantry Regiment and several companies of the 17th Tennessee Infantry Regiment to attack the Union detachment at Round Hill. Just before the attack, the companies from the 33rd Indiana were reinforced by 250 men of the 1st Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry Regiment (U.S.) and a small number of home guards. The Confederate regiments attacked the steep hill but after an hour of fighting the 11th Tennessee Infantry retreated. Soon thereafter Union reinforcements arrived, forcing the 17th Tennessee Infantry to retreat as well.

Zollicoffer then sent the 29th Tennessee Infantry Regiment and several companies of the 17th Tennessee Infantry to attack a location called the South Rim across the road from Round Hill. By then, the Union had fortified this point and the Confederate attack on this point also failed. Later, the Confederates failed to detect a gap between the 33rd Indiana Infantry and the 7th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry Regiment (U.S.) before Col. Garrard sent reinforcements to close it. With casualties mounting to no effect, Zollicoffer ceased attacking the Union position. The Confederates withdrew during the night. They continued their retreat to Cumberland Ford, which they reached on October 26.

Aftermath
Union casualties were 5 killed and 20 wounded while the Confederates suffered 11 killed and 42 wounded or missing.

After Union Army defeats earlier in the year, especially at the Battle of Big Bethel and First Battle of Bull Run, and on the same day at the Battle of Ball's Bluff, a Union victory was welcomed in the North.

In November, the Union force completed the Big Sandy Expedition. This set the stage for the Battle of Mill Springs and the death of Gen. Zollicoffer on January 19, 1862.

Battlefield
The battlefield, about nine miles northwest of modern-day London, Kentucky, is located on land held by the Daniel Boone National Forest and is in private hands. The Confederate Monument at Crab Orchard miles to the west memorializes some of the Confederates that died at the battle.

Much of the battlefield, almost , was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Another  area, embracing two sections of the battlefield that had been designated historical archaeological sites, was added to the original designation in 2006. The American Battlefield Trust and its partners have acquired and preserved 264 acres of the battlefield as of mid-2023.

title: Walter Scott's Personality Parade

text:
"Walter Scott's Personality Parade" is a column in Parade magazine featuring celebrity gossip. As of 2001 Edward Klein is the author of the column, which is in the inside cover of the magazine.

For a 33 year period beginning with the column's establishment in 1958, it was written by Lloyd Shearer while he used the name Walter Scott. In this column he discussed rumors about celebrities using a question and answer style. Joyce Wadler of The New York Times stated that the column's readership was 50 million "in its heyday". Elaine Woo of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "It may have been the most widely read column in the country" under Shearer and that under Klein it continued to be the "most popular feature" in the magazine.

Lloyd Shearer's assistants sorted through reader mail to separate what Woo described as "those that were confusing or from crackpots, who were as legion as his legitimate and well-placed sources." Under Shearer the column received around 4,000 to 7,000 reader letters. One given topic may be the subject of up to 100 of those letters at a time. Shearer's children often assisted Shearer with his publication.

His son Derek Shearer, along with Lloyd Shearer's editor and other family members, stated that the questions printed in the column were composites of those submitted by readers and that Lloyd Shearer himself did not make any of the questions. Wadler stated "it was known that Mr. Shearer wrote many of the questions". Woo wrote that "Some journalists suggested that he made up many questions to suit his own agenda."

During the time he wrote the column Shearer had copyrighted its name. During Shearer's rule, popular publications and political magazines analyzed "Personality Parade." A compilation of several columns, Parade: The Best of Walter Scott's Personality Parade From the Fifties through the Nineties, was published in 1995.

History
Shearer began the column in March 1958. Wadler wrote that questions from readers had prompted Shearer to start the column. In the foreword of the 1995 compilation Shearer wrote that in 1957 he gave Jess Gorkin, the editor of Parade, a suggestion arguing that the magazine should start a column that verified questions about public figures after he had received questions from readers in response to his profiles of celebrities.

As of 1976, the weekly readership was around 50 million persons because Parade was distributed to 111 U.S. newspapers. In 1976 Shearer stated that the focus of the column was originally film stars but shifted to publishers and politicians; Shearer stated that as the medium of television gained popularity the film stars became less and less prominent to the public, but that the television actors were "not particularly colorful, not particularly maverick" because "the stars of television are very circumspect, because the people who sponsor them won't put up with any nonsense."

In 1991 Shearer stopped writing the column and sold it and its rights to Parade. Shearer stopped due to Parkinson's disease. The magazine declined to state what the price of the column was.

The Baranduz River is a river in north west Iran which flows into the saltwater Lake Urmia. It is named after the village of Baran Duz.

After the building of the Baranduz Dam, the flow of the river was greatly reduced, contributing to the severe desiccation of Lake Urmia.

Barandoz River is the largest river in Iran.

title: Augustus Baker Peirce

text:
Augustus Baker Peirce also known as Gus Pierce (7 October 1840 – 1919), was an American sailor, actor, raconteur and artist in several mediums, who spent some 10 years in Australia. His autobiography Knocking About was accepted by some critics as a largely true, if flawed, account of his travels and experiences.

Although he generally used the spelling "Pierce" in Australia, his birth name "Peirce" has been used here, except in relation to his wife and sons, who took the name "Pierce".

History
Gus Peirce was born in West Medford, Massachusetts the son either of merchant George A. Peirce, and Jane Peirce, née Nye or Major Moses Peirce and Mehitable [sic] Peirce, née Nye. He may have had an early career with the US Navy and was a sailor on the Oriental (Capt. Osgood) which left New York Harbor on 27 September 1859 and arrived at Port Phillip on 12 January 1860, when he deserted ship by swimming ashore. He embarked on various occupations: selling meat pies for George Millbank at New Inglewood; selling Frank Weston's "Wizard Oil" in Dunolly; landscape painting in Melbourne; working as photographer's assistant for Batchelder and O'Neill of Salem, Massachusetts and scenery painting for the Lyceum Theatre. He went snake hunting with Joseph Shires (ca.1822 – 16 March 1892), the famous inventor of a snake-bite cure. He travelled by Murray steamboat to Wentworth, where he acted as bum bailiff for "the White Chinaman" John Egge against a family of acrobats.

Steamboats
He was introduced to life on the Murray by fellow-Americans Alexander Sinclair Murray and Peleg Whitford Jackson, for whom he compiled a strip-map of the river from Albury to Goolwa around 1863.
He acted as pilot for their Lady Daly but had an argument with James Mace, her skipper 1864–65, and was left on the Blanchetown wharf. (He then joined a ship transporting horses to Madras, though it could not have been the Europa as stated in his autobiography).
He skippered Murray River paddle-steamers Corowa 1868,1869, Jane Eliza 1871, Victoria (which he may have owned) 1873–1875. and Riverina 1876.

Painting
In 1869 in Echuca, while a riverboat captain, and in a period when low river heights forced Jane Eliza to be laid up, Peirce commenced the first of his panoramas, His series of scenes, representing a sea voyage around the world, painted in distemper on canvas, were well received. The first, a faithful copy of Frith's depiction of Paddington Railway Station, was particularly admired, as were pictures of Mount Cook and Wanganui in New Zealand. The panorama was exhibited in Echuca's Town Hall from October 1869, with musical accompanied by local musicians and singers, including Peirce himself. He took the show to nearby towns then in April 1870 to Wagga Wagga, with Peirce giving a humorous commentary. Around this time he painted a series of murals for Echuca's Steampacket Hotel,(Mudie, op. cit p. 172) a regular haunt of riverboat people.  In mid-1872 he was showing his panorama at the Hill End, New South Wales gold diggings. The panorama, and additional pictures of the diggings, were shown at Wagga Wagga as part of a complimentary benefit for Peirce.
Around 1876 Peirce moved to Geelong, and there began his second panorama, "Mirror of Australia", which was unveiled in November 1879, in conjunction with William Bignell. The following month they showed in Castlemaine, with the male impersonator Ellen Tremaye ("De Lacy Evans") as a sensational added attraction. By 1881 this panorama was being shown in England.
In the 1880s, still living in Geelong, and running a "cigar divan", he was making portraits in oils, especially of horses and sportsmen One which survives is of the Melbourne Hunt Club. He also painted stage scenery, which was well received.
By 1883 he was proprietor of the Black Bull Hotel.
Peirce left Geelong in 1892. His farewell benefit was a disaster – he had prepared some lithographed handbills advertising the event, which featured caricatures of leading Geelong citizens which were not well received, and several artists who had promised to perform withdrew their support, and the local MP, John Rout Hopkins, took umbrage and set the law onto the printers. To cap it off, the night was wet and stormy and though many tickets had been sold, few turned up.
In 1894 he was living in Peel Street, North Melbourne, still making a living as an artist.

Performer
Peirce was a versatile and prolific performer on stage: he appeared with various troupes as a ventriloquist and comic singer (though his choice of songs did not please one reviewer of a variety show at Melbourne's Theatre Royal). He played at Hill End in 1872 with W. B. Gill.

Autobiography

Knocking About: Being some adventures of Augustus Baker Peirce in Australia, his autobiography, edited by Mrs. Albert T. Leadbeater was published posthumously by Yale University Press in 1924, the third in a series funded by a foundation established in memory of Ensign Curtis Seaman Read (1895–1918), USNRF. It has been republished by Literary Licensing LLC in 2013

title: Amoeba Culture

text:
Amoeba Culture () is a South Korean independent record label established in 2006 by Dynamic Duo and Go Kyung-min. The label is home to prominent artists such as Dynamic Duo, Rhythm Power, and Ha:tfelt. The label had the third largest sales among Korean record labels in 2015.

History
Amoeba Culture was founded in August 2006 by Dynamic Duo members Gaeko and Choiza, as well as current CEO Go Kyung-min. The label held open auditions in late 2007 in order to expand its roster. In 2008, composer and producer Primary and hip hop duo Supreme Team joined the company.

In 2011 the label released a series of toy figurines and started the "AMOEBAHOOD" project to promote exhibits and other cultural art projects. They also established the Amoeba Culture recording studio in October 2011. In 2012 the label held the first "Amoebahood Concerts" at Daegu Exco and KBS Busan Hall in February, as well as the House of Blues in LA and the Showbox at the Market in Seattle in April with Kero One. Zion.T also announced that he had signed with the label that summer.

In 2013 all of the label's artist participated in the 'NOWeekend' project which culminated in an album. The group also held the "2013 Amoebahood Concerts" on March 16 and 17. On July 19, 2013, Supreme Team disbanded when member E-Sens's contract ended. That summer E-Sens released tracks alleging the company had offered him a slave contract and that they had stolen money which the label denied. In January 2014 the other former Supreme Team member, Simon D, left the label as well.

In November 2017, CJ E&M acquired Amoeba Culture. CJ E&M official stated that, "We are investing to support the development of hip-hop music and free creative activities by artists".

On July 7, 2023, it was announced that Go Kyungmin had died on July 6 at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital.

Controversies

Plagiarism accusations against Primary
For the 2013 Infinity Challenge Music Festival, Primary collaborated with Park Myeong-su and label mate Gaeko (Dynamic Duo) for the song "I Got C". Later, netizens noticed similarities between "I Got C" and Dutch singer Caro Emerald's "Liquid Lunch." Rumors of plagiarism later followed.

In an interview by Seoul Shinmun NTN's "Dispatch," Caro Emerald's production team member David Schreurs said, "[Primary] uses our music as a template to create his own, which is an honor but on some songs he’s just going too far with it. I would like to say he should start trusting his own talent, because he sure is a good producer.” As a result, Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), the network behind "Infinity Challenge," as well as KT Music, the publisher of the album and songs from the "2013 Infinity Challenge Music Festival," ceased online sales of "I Got C."

Another Primary composition, Park Ji-yoon's Mr. Lee (featuring San E) was also later accused of plagiarism.

2013: "The Control Diss Phenomenon"
 July 19 – E-Sens (Supreme Team) left Amoeba Culture.

 August 23 – Swings released another diss, "Hwang Jung-min (King Swings Part 2)". He dissed Simon Dominic (Supreme Team) this time.
 August 24 – Gaeko broke his silence and released "I Can Control You", then E-Sens responded with "True Story". Meanwhile, Simon Dominic answered back at Swings through "Control".
 August 26 – Swings lashed back at Simon Dominic with "New World". Meanwhile, Amoeba Culture issued a statement saying "it respects the opinions of its artists and will let them handle it themselves (in regards to Gaeko and Simon Dominic's disses)".

title: Maksim Semenov (wrestler)

text:
Maksim Anatolyevich Semenov (; born April 7, 1979, in Tolyatti) is a retired amateur Russian Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's welterweight category. He obtained a fourth position in the 66-kg division at the 2002 World Wrestling Championships in Moscow, and also represented his nation Russia at the 2004 Summer Olympics, finishing ninth in the process. Throughout his sporting career, Semenov trained full-time for Torpedo Wrestling Club in Moscow, under his personal coach and mentor Rerik Sadikhanov.

Semenov qualified for the Russian squad in the men's 66 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by filling up an entry by the International Federation of Association Wrestling and the Russian Olympic Committee through a reallocation process. He lost his opening match to Armenia's Vaghinak Galstyan by a 2–2 draw, but bounced back to defeat Sweden's Jimmy Samuelsson with a solid 3–1 decision, placing second in the prelim pool round and did not advance to the quarterfinals. Semenov originally claimed the eleventh position in the final standings, but two wrestlers were both disqualified by a forfeit in a playoff, upgrading him to ninth.

title: Terteroba

text:
The Terter or Terteroba (Bulgarian and ) was a Cuman–Kipchak tribe or clan that took refuge in Hungary and then Bulgaria in the mid-13th century and may have produced the Terter dynasty that eventually ruled Bulgaria.

According to Pritsak, Terter is derived from a tributary of the Kura River in the Southern Caucasus. Peter Golden considers this a conjecture which, while possible, does not seem to be in keeping with most other Cuman-Kipchak names in which geographical referents are usually absent. The Qangli may be an exception. In the Russian annals, they were known as Ter'trobiči. In Arabic, they may have been called Durut. Golden etymologizes terter < teriter < terit- "to sweat".

It has been claimed that khan Köten ( 1223–39) belonged to the Terter. During the Mongol invasion, the surviving Cuman–Kipchak tribes sought refuge in the Kingdom of Hungary (1238). These adopted Christianity in return for protection. According to Hungarian sources, these tribes included the Chertan, Ulasoba, Burcoba (Burčeviči), Kolaba (Kolabiči) and Terteroba, the latter which was Köten's family.

According to Plamen Pavlov the Terter dynasty was a branch of the Terteroba who had settled in Bulgaria as part of the second wave of Cuman migration, coming from the Kingdom of Hungary after 1241.

title: Amy Blackmore

text:
Amy Blackmore is a Montreal impresario and is the founder and artistic director of the Bouge d'ici Dance Festival. She is also the Executive and Artistic Director of MainLine Theatre and the St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival. She has worked with a variety of theatre companies and festivals as a producer, performer or choreographer, such as the Montreal Highlights Festival, The Montreal Shakespeare Theatre Company and Infinitheatre. Blackmore is described as coming from a generation of artists that are taking charge of their own careers with a "DIY philosophy" towards producing.

Education
Blackmore studied contemporary dance at Concordia University.

Career
Blackmore began her career at the Fringe as an artist and volunteer at the St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival at the age of 17. She quickly became interested in the festival's community.

Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "this sleepy affair with a European string section is unremittingly dull... the arrangements for the 15 strings, five horns and rhythm section are quite boring. There are many rewarding Art Farmer dates currently available, so skip this misfire".

title: National Fried Chicken Day

text:
National Fried Chicken Day is observed in the United States of America annually on July 6. It is unclear how the day originated.

In observance of the day, fried chicken is prepared in a variety of ways, and eaten.

Some chain fried chicken restaurants such as Church's Chicken and KFC, and other chain restaurants such as Grandy's, offer promotions on National Fried Chicken Day.

Outside the United States
In 2018 KFC's Australian operations offered the chance to win free fried chicken for a year. The contest was entered by making social-media posts stating reasons why the entrant deserved the prize. The winning entry was by a 19-year-old who, together with her friend, got the KFC corporate logotype tattooed on her foot. The day is traditionally observed on July 7 in Australia out of respect for the time zone of origin.

title: ZZ Boötis

text:
ZZ Boötis is a star system in the constellation Boötes. It varies from magnitude 6.79 to 7.44 over five days. Based on its parallax, measured by the Gaia spacecraft, it is about  away.

Observational history
In 1950 Grigory Shajn determined that this star is a double-lined spectroscopic binary, with an approximate period of 4.96 days. Sergei Gaposchkin found from an examination of photographic plates, in 1951, that it was an Algol-type eclipsing binary system. The primary and secondary eclipses are of equal depth, 0.65 magnitudes, meaning the brightness drops by nearly half. The eclipses make up only 6% of the orbital period.

ZZ Boötis is a binary star system, specifically an eclipsing binary. The component stars appear to be of almost equal mass, differing by only 3%.

title: Carl Robert

text:
Carl (Karl) Georg Ludwig Theodor Herwig Joseph Robert (8 March 1850, Marburg – 17 January 1922, Halle an der Saale) was a German classical philologist and archaeologist.

He began his studies of ancient philology and archaeology at the University of Bonn, where he was a student of Otto Jahn, Reinhard Kekulé von Stradonitz and Anton Springer. In 1870 he began service as a volunteer in the Hessian Infantry Battalion No. 11 during the Franco-Prussian War. Afterwards, he resumed his studies at the University of Berlin under Theodor Mommsen, Adolf Kirchhoff and Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff. In 1873 he obtained his doctorate in Berlin with the thesis De Apollodori bibliotheca. From a travel grant by the German Archaeological Institute, he conducted scientific research in Greece and Italy.

In 1877 he became an associate professor at Berlin, attaining a full professorship in 1880. In 1890 he was appointed chair of classical archaeology and philology at the University of Halle. At Halle he served as director of its archaeological museum, of which, he made important improvements via new acquisitions. In the 1920s the museum was renamed the "Robertinum" in honor of his accomplishments.

Written works
As a classical scholar, he preferred a close association between the disciplines of archaeology and philology, while downplaying the art historical approach. For many years, he was editor of the journal Hermes, and was the author of a highly regarded revision of Ludwig Preller's Griechische Mythologie. He also made contributions to the corpus of ancient sarcophagus reliefs, Die antiken Sarkophag-Reliefs (volumes 2 & 3). The following are a few of his other significant works:
 Bild und Lied : Archäologische Beiträge zur Geschichte der griechischen Heldensage, 1881.
 Studien zur Ilias, 1901.
 Archaeologische Hermeneutik : Anleitung zur Deutung klassischer Bildwerke, 1919.

title: Resurrection (New Found Glory album)

text:
Resurrection is the eighth studio album by American rock band New Found Glory. Released on October 7, 2014, it is the band's first album recorded as a four-piece since the departure of founding guitarist-lyricist Steve Klein in late 2013. The album also marks their debut release with independent label Hopeless Records, having concluded their previous recording contract with Epitaph Records.

Produced alongside frequent collaborator Paul Miner and recorded between June and July 2014, the album was preceded by singles "Selfless" and "Ready & Willing." To promote the release of the album, the band headlined the fifth annual Glamour Kills tour starting on August 10, with dates across South Korea, Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Background
In October 2011, the band released their seventh studio album Radiosurgery via Epitaph Records. To support the album, the band headlined the Rockstar-sponsored "Pop Punk's Not Dead Tour" in North America ahead of Set Your Goals, The Wonder Years, Man Overboard, and This Time Next Year. The tour commenced on 6 October in Santa Cruz, California and ran through to 20 November in San Diego. Following a report published in Billboard magazine announcing the band would be entering a "lengthy hiatus", Chad Gilbert spoke out and strongly denied these rumors before confirming they would be recording their first live album the following year. The band went on to release Kill It Live in October 2013, which featured the band's live set recorded over two nights at Chain Reaction in California, as well as three new studio tracks including single "Connect the Dots."

The release was followed up with a co-headline tour alongside Alkaline Trio with support from H2O in October and November. Following the completion of the aforementioned tour, the band made a shock announcement via their Facebook page on December 12, informing fans that founding member and rhythm guitarist Steve Klein had parted ways with the band. The statement explained that Klein was no longer in the band due to "personal differences" and that they would begin searching for a replacement soon, having made plans to record albums without him. On May 16, 2014, vocalist Jordan Pundik announced the group would be recording their next album in June. Two days later, the group revealed that the album would be released on independent label Hopeless Records in the fall.

Writing and recording
Drummer Cyrus Bolooki recounted the writing process of the album in an interview with Blunt magazine: "This time around was cool as there was a lot of collaboration going on, there were no roadblocks. There really wasn’t that much stress; it was fun writing this record. I live a short drive from Chad’s [Gilbert, guitar] house so I’d head there and he’d record guitars and structures, I’d add in drum parts and send it around to everyone where the lyric ideas were coming through. It wasn’t just Chad either, Jordan [Pundik, vocals] contributed a lot of vocal ideas. The three of us in California [bass player Ian Grushka resides in Florida] would go to Chad’s and sit around the dining room table while Jordan recorded demos on this crappy microphone. We did that over a dozen times; we’d actually written the record before we set foot in the studio."

Release
On August 5, 2014, a music video was released for "Selfless". Later that day, Resurrection was announced for release in October, revealing its track listing. On the same day, the group released a behind-the-scenes video from the studio. Four more videos of this nature were posted on August 30, September 12, October 1 and October 9. In late August, the group performed at Fashion Meets Music Festival, followed by an appearance at Riot Fest. On September 9, a music video was released for "Ready & Willing". On September 25, "Stories of a Different Kind" was premiered via Alternative Press. The following day, "Stubborn" was made available for streaming. Resurrection was released on October 7. The band embarked on a headlining US tour, titled Glamour Kills Tour, with support from We Are the In Crowd, Fireworks, Candy Hearts, Red City Radio and Better Off. In November, the group went on a headlining UK tour, dubbed Pop Punk's Not Dead. They were supported by the Story So Far, Candy Hearts, State Champs and Only Rivals.

In February and March 2015, the band performed at Soundwave festival in Australia. On March 11, a music video was released for "One More Round". In March and April, the group went on the Sleep When I Die! Tour in the US with support from Turnstile, This Wild Life and Turnover. On April 8, the group released a 7" vinyl with "One More Round", and an acoustic version of "Living Hell" as its B-side. On July 22, a music video was released for a new version of "Vicious Love", which featured Hayley Williams of Paramore. On October 9, a reissue of the album called Resurrection: Ascension was released. On the same day, a music video was released for the new version of "Ready & Willing", which included cameos from Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, Ryan Key of Yellowcard, and Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional, among others. In October and November, the group went on a co-headlining US tour with Yellowcard. They were supported by Tigers Jaw. In March 2016, the group performed at So What?! festival.

Reception

Critical response

Resurrection received generally favourable reviews from music critics, with a Metacritic rating of 73/100 based on six reviews. Kerrang! commented, "Resurrection is a powerhouse of a record, the brave onward steps of New Found Glory proving that hope--like pop-punk--is not dead". Exclaim! felt that "The band have once again found their sweet spot". Thomas Nassiff of AbsolutePunk.net said, in a polarizing review of the album, that "The worst part about this album is that it feels like New Found Glory writing a New Found Glory record for the sake of writing a New Found Glory record. At no point do I get any sort of impression of passion during the album's runtime." The album was included at number 20 on Rock Sounds "Top 50 Albums of the Year" list. The album was included at number 44 on Kerrang!s "The Top 50 Rock Albums Of 2014" list.

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number 25 on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 14,000 copies in the United States, narrowly outselling fellow rock band Yellowcard (who released Lift a Sail on the same day) by less than 100 copies.

He filled 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. He started with a 9–3 victory over Oscar Wood, before losing his next match 1–4 to Mkhitar Manukyan. In his final match against Jannis Zamanduridis, Arkoudeas pulled from a 2–2 tie to win in overtime, but fell short to advance to the quarterfinals, finishing second in the preliminary pool.

title: Binny Bansal

text:
Binny Bansal (born 1982/1983) is an Indian billionaire Internet entrepreneur. In 2007 he co-founded the e-commerce platform Flipkart with Sachin Bansal (no relation) and served as the chief operating officer until 11 January 2016 and was then promoted to chief executive officer (CEO). In January 2017 he was promoted to Group CEO and resigned in November 2018 due to personal misconduct allegations of Flipkart. Binny is from Chandigarh and graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi with a degree in computer science and engineering. He is currently an anchor investor in the venture firm 021 Capital which focuses on investing in the fields of biotechnology, agritech, and the internet. In 2019, Binny Bansal and Sachin Bansal invested 125 crores in the endowment fund of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi.

Early life
Binny Bansal is originally from Chandigarh, the capital city of Punjab and Haryana. He was educated at St. Anne's Convent School, Chandigarh. His business partner, Sachin Bansal, is also from Chandigarh. Although they share the same last name, they are not related.

Bansal currently resides in Bangalore. His father is a retired chief manager at a bank and his mother is in the government sector. He is married to a homemaker. He has twin sons with his wife Trisha Bansal.

Career
Before co-founding Flipkart, Binny was employed by Amazon for nine months, and before that he had been rejected by Google twice. Binny Bansal and his business partner Sachin Bansal initially thought of starting a comparison search engine, but realized that the market for E-commerce in India was very small. Hence, after leaving Amazon in 2007, they founded Flipkart as an e-commerce company. Before joining Amazon, Binny had worked with Sarnoff Corporation for a year and a half, where he developed a lane sensor device for cars which would warn you and beep automatically if you changed lanes without giving a signal.

In 2016, Binny Bansal became the CEO of Flipkart, where he worked on strategic development, direction and business management. In 2017, he assumed the role of CEO of Flipkart Group and his previous position was handed to Kalyan Krishnamurthy.

In 2018, Walmart acquired a 77% stake in Flipkart group. After the acquisition, Binny Bansal assumed the role of chairman and continued as Group CEO. His 5.5% stake in Flipkart was valued at $1 billion after the acquisition. He resigned from Flipkart in November 2018 on allegations of personal misconduct.

He is also an angel investor in multiple startups, including BrightCHAMPS, Virgio, Flash, Hire Quotient and Glints. He also helped back about 47 companies so far spread across 64 funding rounds which includes 28 deals in the seed stage, 14 in early and 4 in late-stage.

Awards and recognition
 In September 2015, Binny Bansal along with Sachin Bansal, was named the 86th richest person in India with a net worth of $1.3 billion by Forbes India Rich List.
 India Today ranked him #26th along with Sachin Bansal in India's 50 Most powerful people of 2017 list.

title: Beneš-Mráz Be-150 Beta-Junior

text:
The Beneš-Mráz Be-150 Beta-Junior was a light aerobatic trainer and racing aircraft, designed and built in Czechoslovakia in the late 1930s.

Design and development
With the success of the Beneš-Mráz Be-50 Beta-Minor Beneš decided to produce a smaller version with better performance for sport flying. A major incentive was the availability of five spare  Walter Junior engines, which would imbue the Be-150 with much improved vertical performance compared to the Be-50.

Beneš shortened the fuselage and fitted the short-span wings of the Be-52, retaining the open cockpits and fixed, trousered, tailwheel undercarriage of the Be-50.

Operational history
The Be-150 was first flown on 5 January 1937, but was rejected by the MNO (Czechoslovak Ministry of Defense) and the three production aircraft were used for general flying club use and for air racing.

title: Hurricane Bertha (2014)

text:
Hurricane Bertha was an unusual tropical cyclone in early August 2014 that attained hurricane status, despite having a disheveled appearance and an abnormally high atmospheric pressure. The third tropical cyclone and second hurricane of the season, Bertha developed from a tropical wave south of Cape Verde was monitored first for possible tropical cyclogenesis on July 26. Over the following days, it slowly developed and acquired gale-force winds and enough convection to be designated as Tropical Storm Bertha early on August 1. A mostly disorganized cyclone, Bertha quickly moved across the Lesser Antilles, clipping the northern end of Martinique, later that day. During its trek across the eastern Caribbean Sea, its circulation became severely disrupted and it may have degenerated into a tropical wave. On August 3, it traversed the Mona Passage and moved over the Southeastern Bahamas where conditions favored development. Despite an overall ragged appearance on satellite imagery, data from Hurricane Hunters indicated it intensified to a hurricane on August 4; it acquired peak winds of  that day. Turning north, and later northeast, Bertha soon weakened as it began to merge with an approaching trough to the west. This merger ultimately took place on August 6, at which time Bertha was declared extratropical well to the south of Nova Scotia. The remnant system raced eastward across the Atlantic and later struck the United Kingdom on August 10. Once over the North Sea, the storm stalled for a few days before resuming its eastward track. It was last noted around the Baltic Sea on August 16.

As a tropical cyclone, Bertha's impact was relatively minor. Widespread power outages occurred along its path but no major damage or loss of life took place. Enhanced swells and rip currents associated with the hurricane resulted in three fatalities and dozens of rescues along the East Coast of the United States. After becoming an extratropical system, it had significant effects in Western Europe. Particularly hard hit was the United Kingdom, where wind gusts reached . Unseasonably heavy rains triggered widespread flooding which shut down roads and prompted evacuations. One fatality took place offshore. On mainland Europe, a small tornado outbreak resulted in scattered structural damage in Belgium, France, and Germany.

Meteorological history

On July 24, 2014, a westward moving tropical wave emerged off the west coast of Africa near the Cape Verde Islands. Following the development of convective activity —showers and thunderstorms— on July 26, National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring the system for potential tropical cyclogenesis. A disorganized system, development was forecast to be slow due to unfavorable environmental conditions. Organization and coverage of convection began improving by July 28, due in part to the passage of a Kelvin wave. An area of low pressure subsequently consolidated within the disturbance on July 29 and the NHC assessed the system as having high chance of becoming a tropical depression. Convection soon diminished over the system, though its circulation remained well-defined. Moving west-northwest around the periphery of a strong subtropical ridge, the low acquired tropical storm-force winds early on July 31 but continued to lack convection. A hurricane hunter aircraft investigated the system that afternoon and found winds of  north and northeast of the center. In the hours following the weather reconnaissance mission, a band of deep convection blossomed near the center, prompting the NHC to designate the system as Tropical Storm Bertha at 00:00 UTC on August 1. Upon its classification, Bertha was situated roughly  east-southeast of Barbados in the Lesser Antilles.

Within hours of Bertha's designation on August 1, wind shear stemming from a trough over the central Atlantic displaced convection from the circulation center. Satellite imagery depicted a well-defined and vigorous circulation; however, observations from the hurricane hunters indicated a wind field more akin to a tropical wave. Around 21:00 UTC, Bertha clipped the northern end of Martinique with sustained winds of . Persistent shear continued to take its toll on the cyclone as it entered the Caribbean Sea with aircraft data indicating no closed circulation at  elevation. Despite this, observations from Martinique and Dominica indicated that there was some semblance of a surface circulation, and the NHC continued to monitor Bertha as a tropical storm. Throughout August 2, convection steadily increased in coverage and organization though the center of Bertha remained displaced from the strongest thunderstorms to the southwest. NEXRAD weather radar imagery from San Juan, Puerto Rico depicted a disorganized, possibly open circulation throughout the day. In light of this, NHC forecaster John Beven noted that the system could degenerate into an open wave around the time in reached Hispaniola later on August 2.

Continued effects of dry air entrainment, shear, and land interaction further degraded Bertha's structure and late on August 2, "the system
barely [qualified] as a tropical cyclone". Various data sources indicated no closed circulation by 21:00 UTC and it was noted that advisories could be discontinued, at least temporarily. Early on August 3, the disheveled storm moved through the Mona Passage and brushed the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic before emerging over the Atlantic Ocean. As the storm moved away from Hispaniola its movement became more northwesterly, following the edge of the subtropical ridge. Moving near the Turks and Caicos Islands, Bertha's circulation finally became better organized and banding features developing over its eastern periphery. At 14:00 UTC, Bertha made landfall on Middle Caicos Island with winds of . Subsequent strengthening of upper-level outflow, decreased shear, increased mid-level humidity, and high sea surface temperatures enabled rapid intensification. Deep convection wrapped cyclonically into the storm and winds reached  by 03:00 UTC on August 4. During the early part of August 4, structural organization began to degrade with convection becoming more limited in extent and banding features dissipating. The only factor aiding the storm was its well-defined outflow. However, despite the storm's ragged and weak appearance, observations from hurricane hunters indicated that it had intensified into a hurricane by 12:00 UTC. Bertha is estimated to have reached its peak intensity around this time with winds of  and a barometric pressure of 998 mbar (hPa; 29.47 inHg). Additionally, by this time its movement had shifted to due north and with increased forward momentum.

Through the remainder of August 4 and into the early hours of August 5, Bertha maintained hurricane status with its atypical structure. At times, its circulation became exposed due to increasing wind shear. Acceleration to the north-northeast ahead of a trough off the East Coast of the United States ensued as the system weakened below hurricane intensity during the overnight of August 4–5. Steadily increasing wind shear kept the circulation center mostly devoid of thunderstorms, with periodic bursts of convection being quickly pushed away. The storm's motion became more northeasterly early on August 6 as it began to undergo an extratropical transition. An upper-level jet streak coupled with the system that morning, prompting convection to develop away from the storm's center. Bertha soon merged with the trough steering it northeast as it moved into the cold sector of the front, which extended from Nova Scotia to The Bahamas. The merger of these systems marked Bertha's transition into an extratropical system, at which time it was located  south-southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Slight intensification took place shortly thereafter with winds increasing to  before weakening resumed. The system raced eastward across the Atlantic and ultimately degraded into a trough several hundred miles southwest of Ireland on August 9. Bertha's remnants struck the United Kingdom the following day and later moved over the North Sea. There, the storm stalled for a few days before resuming its eastward track. The decaying cyclone moved over Scandinavia on August 14 and was last noted on August 16 near the Baltic Sea.

Preparations and impact

Caribbean

Late on August 1, Bertha crossed the Lesser Antilles, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to many islands. Across Martinique, the storm produced sustained winds of  with gusts to . Numerous lightning strikes caused widespread surges in the electrical grid and left 150,000 residences without electricity. Power was restored to all customers by the evening of August 2. Rainfall was relatively light and less than anticipated with  falling across northern areas of the island and  over southern areas. Similar effects were felt in Guadeloupe where gusts reached  on La Désirade. A general  fell across Basse-Terre Island. Few reports of downed trees and power lines were received and overall damage was negligible. Some rain and wind also affected Barbados.

Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit declared a public holiday for the afternoon of August 1 in order for all workers to return home in advance of the storm. Several LIAT flights for the island and St. Lucia were canceled. Wind gusts on Dominica reached  and hundreds of people lost power.

Coincidentally, Bertha threatened the United States Virgin Islands 18 years after a hurricane in 1996 of the same name, with both affecting the primary elections. Turnout was low as expected due to the storm, with 9,217 people (26.05 percent) of voters showing up to polls. In response to the storm, the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency was activated, leave for all police officers was suspended, and officers began operating on 12-hour shifts on August 1. The Public Works Department appropriated sandbags and cleared storm drains in anticipation of heavy rain. The outer edges of Bertha produced near-hurricane-force around the United States Virgin Islands, with an offshore buoy near St. Thomas measuring a gust of . Gale-force winds on St. Croix snapped many tree limbs.

Across Puerto Rico, the outer bands of Bertha dropped a general  of rain, with isolated areas reaching , over areas suffering from a drought. Accumulations peaked at  in Adjuntas. Some flooding occurred on the island, resulting in the partial collapse of two roads. The Río Grande de Arecibo topped its banks between highways 10 and 123 within the Utuado Municipality. Landslides blocked a few roads around Aceitunas. Tropical storm-force wind gusts, peaking at , downed some trees and power lines. Prolific lightning accompanied the storm and resulted in 29,000 residences losing power. In Arroyo, 239 people, mostly athletes, sought refuge in public shelters.

Following the designation of Tropical Storm Bertha on August 1, the Ministry of Public Works and Communications in the Dominican Republic activated emergency operations to prepare for the storm. Several flights to and from Las Américas International Airport near Santo Domingo were canceled on August 2. Heavy rains in the country, peaking at  in Bayaguana, caused significant flooding, especially along the Soco River which overflowed its banks. The communities of Atilano, Cabeza de Toro, Campiña, Concho Primo, and Lima, were temporarily isolated by the rising waters. Less substantial flooding occurred elsewhere in the country, with seven homes inundated in Moscú. Additionally, strong winds downed many trees in the region.

Across the Southeastern Bahamas, residents were warned of the approaching storm; however, many were preoccupied with a local regatta and ignored warnings. In the Turks and Caicos, locals brought their boats closer to shore and anchored them. Hotels were reportedly "taking seriously the threat of the storm." Increased surf and sporadic heavy rains associated with Bertha affected portions of Cuba.

United States East Coast

Though Bertha remained hundreds of miles offshore, long-period swells resulted in dangerous rip currents across the East Coast of the United States. Two people required rescue off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida due to rip currents. Lingering swells resulted in the drowning of a man at Mickler's Landing in Ponte Vedra Beach. Further north near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, a man was pulled out to sea by rip currents and rescued by the Hatteras Island Rescue Squad; however, after being hospitalized he later succumbed to his injuries and died. Tropical storm warnings were raised for offshore zones; waves of  were forecast for areas off the Delmarva Peninsula and New Jersey. Several people were injured in rough seas at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware while lifeguards performed multiple rescues. In Ocean City, New Jersey, 25 rescues took place on August 5. That same day, a woman nearly drowned near Atlantic City after being pulled out by rip currents.

Western Europe

Heavy rains from the remnant of Bertha caused widespread flooding across the United Kingdom. Flood warnings were issued for 6 regions across the nation while alerts were raised for a further 47 areas during the storm's passage. In London, a water main burst and inundated surrounding streets. Thirty shops were affected and nearby stations of the London Underground were swamped. The Prudential RideLondon race was shortened by  due to the storm. The River Dee rose to its highest level since 1990 and flooded surrounding areas. Footbridges and paths along its banks were washed away, though no structures were affected. Lossiemouth, Scotland, received a month's worth of rain in roughly 12 hours. Flooding in Elgin prompted the evacuation of 200 homes. Numerous roads were washed out across Scotland and First ScotRail reported widespread service disruption. High winds and flooding also damaged crops across the region, namely in Scotland. A Gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition team from 1st Raffrey Boys' Brigade were forced to airlift a crew member to safety after sustaining injuries caused by severe weather conditions in the Mournes. The team of five, part of a larger group of thirty, required the assistance of a helicopter from Dublin to save the fallen traveller and winched him to safety. Although scarred, the team went on to complete the expedition in record time.

Offshore, a man suffered a fatal head injury on his yacht amid rough seas and high winds. The Solent Coastguards flew out to rescue the man, but he was declared dead on the scene. Twenty vessels competing in the 2014 EXE Sails GP14 World Championships were caught in high winds produced by the storm and capsized in the Strangford Lough. A nearby hospital declared a major incident and the coast guard rushed to rescue the 97 sailors stranded in the water. Only one person suffered injuries, but all were treated for hypothermia.

The outer bands of Bertha's remnants produced a prolonged period of severe weather over mainland Europe, extending from France to Sweden. In southwest Germany, gusts reached . On August 10, a small tornado outbreak occurred with touchdowns taking place in Belgium, France, and Germany. The strongest of these, rated F2 on the Fujita Scale, affected Bad Schwalbach, Germany; 50 homes were damaged in the area and a swath of forest was heavily damaged. An F1 tornado struck an outdoor event in Luxembourg, Belgium, resulting in four serious injuries. Additionally, an EF1 storm traveled for  through the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. Another tornado, rated F0, touched down in Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom, on the same day.

Alerts were raised across Norway for the potential of flooding and damaging winds.

title: BL Boötis

text:
BL Boötis (abbreviated to BL Boo) is a pulsating star in the constellation Boötes. It is the prototype of a class of anomalous Cepheids which is intermediate in the H-R diagram between the type I classical Cepheids and the type II Cepheids.

It varies from magnitude 14.45 to 15.10 over 0.82 days. It is located 4 arcminutes from the centre of (and assumed to be a member star of) the globular cluster NGC 5466. Its variability was first noted in 1961 by Russian astronomer Nikolaĭ Efimovich Kurochkin, who gave it the variable star designation BL Boötis. However, he thought it was an eclipsing binary. It was subsequently thought to be an RR Lyrae variable by T.I. Gryzunova in 1971.

Robert Zinn confirmed it was a member of the globular cluster and found it was too blue to be an RR Lyrae variable. He gave it the name V19 within the cluster. He calculated its mass to be around 1.56 times and its luminosity to be around 278 times that of the Sun; its absolute magnitude is -1.27.  The spectrum has been compared to an A2 or A3 main sequence star on the basis of its K lines and A9 or F0 on the basis of its hydrogen lines.  The discrepancy is due to a strong deficiency in metals, around 100 times lower than that of the Sun.  Despite the spectral classification, it is not thought to be a main-sequence star, at least not a normal one.  It is larger and more luminous than its spectrum would indicate, comparable to a horizontal branch star but more massive than comparable stars on the horizontal branch.  The pulsations are thought to be in the first overtone.

BL Boötis has been designated the prototype of a rare class of variable star known as an anomalous Cepheid or BL Boötis variable. These stars are somewhat similar to Cepheid variables, but they do not have the same relationship between their period and luminosity. Their periods are similar to the ab subtypes of RR Lyrae variables; however, they are far brighter than these stars. Anomalous Cepheids are metal poor and have masses not much larger than the Sun's, on average, 1.5 solar masses. The origin of these stars is uncertain, but thought to possibly be from the merger of two stars. Detailed examination of the spectrum of BL Boötis with the Keck-1 telescope at the W. M. Keck Observatory showed that its effective (surface) temperature is around 6450 K at minimum light. It also showed that the chemical composition was consistent with ageing metal-poor (Population II) stars and hence cast doubt on the origin as a result of a stellar merger. The radial velocity is lower than would be expected if it were from a stellar merger.

title: Triputipratyaksavada

text:
Tripuṭi-pratyakṣavāda , this term refers to Prabhakara’s Theory of Knowledge, more precisely to his Doctrine of Triple Perception.

Prabhakara advocates the theory of simultaneous revelation of knower, known and knowledge (Tripuṭi-pratyakṣavāda). He holds the Nayayika view that the self is essentially unconscious but maintains that knowledge is self-luminous, which knowledge reveals the self as the subject and the known thing as the object simultaneously with itself. In every knowledge-situation the self is simultaneously revealed as the subject of that knowledge. The self is not self-luminous and requires knowledge for its manifestation, and is necessarily implied in every knowledge as the subject but it can never become an object; it is impossible to know the self as an object. Prabhakara, whose work has been commented upon by Salikanatha, as a thinker is more original than Kumarila. Salikanatha’s commentary is known as Rjuvimalapancika.

According to Tripuṭi-pratyakṣavāda or the "Doctrine of Triple Perception", perception, which is direct apprehension, recognizes the self, its object, and itself; the self and the object which are not luminous and do not manifest themselves, are manifested by cognition which is self-luminous and manifests itself, they are manifested by every cognition, presentative or representative. In every cognition of an object there are a consciousness of an object, and a consciousness of the cognition that can never be known as an object. Cognition apprehends itself, its existence is inferred from the apprehension of its object. Prabhakara refutes Kumarila’s "Doctrine of Inferability of a cognition" on the ground that there is no reason or mark from which cognition may be inferred, the existence of an object cannot serve as the mark of inference, also the cognition of an object cannot be the mark of inference. Cognition is manifested to consciousness, a cognitive act cannot be inferred from non-manifestation of the objective-perception, and the manifestation of the object-cognition does not depend upon any other cognition, since it is not known to exist. A self-cognized cognition manifests an object.

title: Michael Meinecke

text:
Michael Meinecke (6 November 1941 – 10 January 1995) was a German art historian, archaeologist and Islamic studies scholar who was director of the Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin from 1988 to 1995.

Life and work
Meinecke was born in Vienna but grew up in Istanbul after his father accepted a position as director and stage designer at the City Theatre. He attended the German School in Istanbul, graduating in 1959. He studied art history, archaeology and Islamic studies in Vienna and Hamburg, and graduated in 1968 with a dissertation on Faience decoration of Seljuk religious buildings in Asia Minor. During this time he also traveled widely in Turkey and Turkic Central Asia.

After graduation he joined the German Archaeological Institute in Cairo in 1969 and devoted himself to preserving architecturally and historically significant buildings in the old town, especially those from the Mamluk period. One result of this work was the extensive study that formed his professorial thesis in 1978: Mamluk architecture in Egypt and Syria. This preservation work included a 1980 collaboration on restoration of the 10th-century Fatimid Darb Qirmiz Quarter in Cairo, for which he was among the recipients of the 1983 Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

Meinecke taught at the University of Hamburg from 1977 to 1980, and during this period he was also a consultant for UNESCO. In 1979 he founded the Damascus branch of the German Archaeological Institute. Meinecke led several important excavations in the years that followed, including at Raqqa (in modern Syria), where the late eighth-century palace complex of Harun al-Rashid was excavated starting in 1982.

In 1988, Meinecke succeeded Klaus Brisch as director of the Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin-Dahlem. After the reunification of East and West Berlin and the merging of museum collections, Meinecke was appointed director of the reunited Museum for Islamic Art in 1992. In 1995, he suddenly collapsed on the stairs to his office and died. After Meinecke's death, his position as director was filled by Volkmar Enderlein, the longtime head of the Islamic collection of Museum Island.

title: Albion River Inn

text:
The Albion River Inn is a bed & breakfast located in Albion, California, in the United States. The inn is located on the Mendocino Coast off of California State Route 1.

History

The Albion River Inn is originally located on land that was acquired by a blacksmith in 1916. The first Ford Model A car dealership in the Mendocino area was located on the site. Next, it became a grocery store and then a restaurant. In 1971, Peter Wells moved to Albion, California from London with his wife. Wells met a local man named Flurry Healy. Almost ten years later the property, with two buildings, went up for sale. The two decided to go into business together and purchase it. They completely renovated the buildings. In 1982 the Inn opened. The first chef was Wells' son, David. Stephen Smith, who is now head chef, accompanied David in the kitchen. Smith left and after graduating from the California Culinary Academy, he eventually returned to the Albion River Inn in 1993.  The Albion River Inn has been featured in Wine Spectator, Coastal Living, Zagat, Entrepreneur, Departures, and Sunset.

Facilities

The property sits on 10-acres with 22 rooms. Each room has its own private deck and fireplace. There are no televisions. The rooms are designed with "a blend of antiques and modern touches..." Coastal Living describes the guest cottages as "New England–style" in the design.
