title: Risk Everything

text:
Risk Everything is an advertisement campaign created for American sports apparel company Nike by the American advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy. The advertisement campaign, spanning radio, television, out-of-home, online advertising and print media, was specially made for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and starring well-known football players from national teams and clubs. This campaign emphasizes the mantra of "risk everything" – taking every dangerous life-or-death chance to succeed and outshine your rivals.

Concept
The campaign, created by ad agency Wieden+Kennedy, emphasizes risk-taking and what it takes to carry on a nation's hopes. The ads show players feeling the heat from intense neck-to-neck competition, fighting for glory and victory who suddenly arrive at a turning point in the football world – or match – and take a risk: giving an amateur the opportunity for a penalty kick or challenging perfect gameplay.

Television
Nike released three television advertisements in the Risk Everything series across the United States, the United Kingdom and other European countries: Risk Everything, Winner Stays, and The Last Game

Risk Everything

Starring Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, Brazil's Neymar and England's Wayne Rooney, the advertisement focuses on the pressure superstar players face when playing for their country in the FIFA World Cup. Ronaldo is surrounded by his fans – and advertisements depicting him – everywhere and Portugal's hopes seem to be riding on Ronaldo. Rooney, on the other hand, faces skepticism everywhere he goes and Neymar, who is wearing Brazil's prestigious number 10 shirt, is trying to live up to his country's football fanaticism, the legend of the players who wore the number 10 for Brazil and World Cup aspirations. The ad ends the three players walking with their team to the pitch, preparing themselves for the onslaught and the tagline "Pressure shapes Legends".

Winner Stays

A group of friends agree to a pick-up football match in a park, with the winning team getting to stay on the field. The players pretend to be (and transform) into players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimović, David Luiz, Andrea Pirlo, Thibaut Courtois, Gonzalo Higuaín, Eden Hazard, Gerard Piqué, Andrés Iniesta, Mario Götze, Thiago Silva, Frank Ribery and Tim Howard. The ad features cameos by Irina Shayk, Kobe Bryant, Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Rick Baster and the Incredible Hulk. As the match nears the end with a 2–2 tie and a "next goal wins" scenario, a young boy takes the ball off Ronaldo, and with immense pressure upon him from people across the globe watching the match, scores the penalty by doing a panenka and wins the game for his team.

The Last Game

An animated feature created in collaboration with Passion Pictures, the ad shows the scientist, promoter of "Perfect Inc.", giving a presentation on how football players are reckless in their game play and "take too many risks". He unveils clones, which are programmed for perfect, no-risk-taken football and focus on efficiency, accuracy and risk mitigation by guaranteed results. The world of football (and sports) suffers from these clones, as they defeat the real players, put them out of business, and drive sports to near-extinction.

Retired Brazilian football legend Ronaldo, who is saddened by this state of football, watches a young boy practising football tricks all alone and an interview of the scientist, in which he says "Before Perfect Inc. football was a wild and unpredictable affair. I've changed that" which fires him up and embarks on a mission to save football. He rescues the now-forgotten players: Zlatan Ibrahimović, trying to sell copies of his autobiography I Am Zlatan Ibrahimović; Cristiano Ronaldo, who now works as a mannequin in "Sport-U-Gal" sports equipment store; Andrés Iniesta, now a farmer; Neymar and David Luiz, barbers at a beauty salon, trimming the hair of their clones; and Wayne Rooney, a fisherman. Along with Franck Ribéry and Tim Howard who were rescued off-screen, their spirits are raised by Ronaldo, who motivates them by showing them glimpses of their former glory and the death football is facing. There, Neymar takes a selfie on a statue. Rooney questions, "We all want to destroy the clones, but they all are unbeatable!" Ronaldo replies: "Nobody thinks that they can be beatable, but you can do it!" The players challenge the clones to a football match; the team with the first goal wins, and the losers quit football for eternity.

The Players outsmart the clones with their skills despite the Scientist activating a fail-safe which introduces more clones to the field; the match ends with Cristiano Ronaldo effortlessly scoring a goal. As the players celebrate and the Scientist sulks, the entire world cheers and human players start returning to sports. A jubilant Ronaldo looks at the players celebrating, and exclaims, "Clone that!"

Internet

Ask Zlatan
On 9 March 2014, Nike organized a question-and-answer session on Twitter with then-Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimović; Twitter users asked questions to Ibrahimović by tweeting with the hashtag #DareToZlatan.

title: Buzz Watson

text:
Francis "Buzz" Watson is a fictional character appearing in TNT's two shows, The Closer and Major Crimes, and portrayed by Phillip P. Keene. He serves as a Civilian Service Coordinator, providing technical support to the Los Angeles Police Department's Major Crimes Division. His duties include filming crime scenes, and he runs the audio and video systems in the interrogation room with what he states in Rusty Beck's video blog Identity are his own cameras. He later starts training as a Reserve Officer in season 3 of Major Crimes and has started to take up those duties as well in season 4. By the beginning of season 6, Buzz has become a Reserve Detective and has started to take a more active role in investigations. In the final scene of the series, Lieutenant Provenza arranges for Buzz to attend the police academy for eighteen weeks. Upon Buzz's return, he will be a probationary detective within the Major Crimes Division.

In The Closer
The character Buzz Watson first appeared in the second episode of the first season, "About Face". Originally a recurring role, as the series progressed the character's visibility increased until Buzz became one of the central characters. In the season 1 episode "Standards and Practices", it was revealed that he speaks fluent Spanish, which he learned from his Mexican stepfather. In the season 7 episode "You Have the Right to Remain Jolly", it was revealed he had a sister named Casey, who was played by Christine Woods.

In Major Crimes
The character of Buzz Watson is a main/regular character on Major Crimes.

In many first season episodes, he was bothered by being assigned the role of watching over Rusty Beck to allow Rusty's guardian, Sharon Raydor, to focus on work.   Through the season, Buzz came to accept Rusty and treated him like a younger brother, acting as a mentor to the teenager.  He tutors Rusty when he's removed from school due to Wade Weller's threats.  In season four, when Rusty is frustrated by his inability to find a story for his burgeoning journalism career, Buzz uses subtle hints to guide Rusty into doing investigative reporting on Alice Herrera, a homeless girl who was murdered and never identified.  After helping Rusty with his efforts, generally by acting as his cameraman, leading to the girl's proper identification, Buzz joins the squad at her funeral.

In season two episode "Risk Assessment", Buzz explains to Rusty that he became interested in police work when his father and uncle were murdered in a robbery. He wanted to become a police officer to track down their killer but his mother was afraid of losing him too so he went to film school instead and became the LAPD's Civilian Surveillance Coordinator instead of a police officer.  He's later trained as a Reserve Officer during season three and went on his first ride-along in season four episode "Turn Down", where he ends up discovering an apparent suicide is in fact a murder. Buzz then aids the squad in catching the killer both as a Reserve Officer and in his usual role. However, Buzz catching the murder leaves Flynn and Provenza annoyed as it causes them to miss a major Fourth of July Dodgers game. When asked, Provenza gives him a good score but with room for improvement as he made them miss a baseball game. He has recently started going for Reserve Detective.

In the season five opener "Present Tense", Buzz begins looking into the murders of his father and uncle to fulfill the vow he made to himself when he was eleven and catch their killers. While Provenza removes some of the more graphic pictures from the murder book, Buzz insists on seeing them and tells everyone he doesn't want this to be the way their story is told. To this end, Buzz agrees to let his tragedy and search for justice to be the next story in Rusty's Identity segment entitled The Long Shadow which they start by going back to the scene of the crime where Buzz describes what happened before explaining to Rusty's audience that the victims were his father and uncle. With the help of the squad, Buzz gets the ATM security tape cleaned up and focuses on his search on a partial fingerprint left behind on his father's ATM card. After a suggestion from Provenza, Buzz began searching through similar unsolved ATM robberies for matching partials to try to identify the man who left the partial and in The Long Shadow Part 6 has had some luck, finding another partial that matches the one on the ATM card. In "Family Law", through identifying a witness and not a suspect, Buzz is able to use his partials to identify one of the men from the robbery, Gene Hecht who is serving a life sentence and whose known crimes include an ATM robbery three miles from where Buzz's father and uncle were murdered. Buzz begins the process of having Gene transferred in an attempt to gain his cooperation in identifying his accomplice, the man who was the actual killer. In "Dead Zone", Buzz interrogates Gene who gives him an alibi. In the following episode, Buzz questions the woman who not only breaks Gene's alibi but gives more proof towards his guilt as Gene was wearing a rare watch the day after the murder that had been taken from Buzz's uncle. With this statement, Buzz is able to get Gene to give up the name of his father and uncle's killer, Bill Jones and identify him in "White Lies, Part 2." In "White Lies, Part 3", Buzz uses social media to identify a possible suspect for the Bill Jones he's looking for. Due to some amateur detective work, Rusty is able to get Buzz Bill's fingerprints, enabling him to confirm the suspect's identity. Accompanied by Provenza and several police officers, Buzz travels to Bill Jones' home where he discovers the man has a wife and kids, leaving Buzz uneasy. After allowing Bill to say goodbye to his family, Buzz personally arrests the man for the murders of his father and uncle. Buzz later tells Rusty and his boyfriend Gus that Bill confessed to the murders and the DA is working up a deal of life in prison without parole. However, Buzz is disturbed as Bill had two kids of his own and in arresting him, Buzz left two children fatherless as Bill did to him and his sister. In the final segment of Identity, Buzz states that Gene Hecht and Bill Jones both confessed in open court to the murders of his father and uncle and took deals that gives Hecht another life sentence in the prison he was already incarcerated in and Bill Jones gets life in prison without parole in a prison near his family. In "Heart Failure", Buzz receives a letter from Bill's son Gabe asking for Buzz to forgive Bill so he can return to his family. Buzz is left distressed as Gabe expresses that his father deeply regrets his actions and his arrest is destroying their family. Over the remainder of the season, Buzz keeps in close contact with Bill's family despite the squad's reservations about it.

In "Sanctuary City, Part 1," Buzz has become a Reserve Detective and takes an active role in an investigation on Sharon's request due to Julio being on bereavement leave. Along with continuing to monitor interrogations, Buzz performs one of his own, joins Provenza in an official capacity in visiting a hostile neighbor, though he carries his camera in case the man's daughter will talk to them and leads a search of one of the victim's houses. While leading this search, Buzz's understanding of Spanish allows he and his team to locate a million dollars the victim's parents are trying to hide as they are unaware Buzz can understand them talking about where they don't want the police to search. After Julio's early return in "Sanctuary City, Part 3," a visibly disappointed Buzz resumes his usual role though he continues to help with the case by finding evidence they can use against Marvin Garret.

Shortly before her death in "Conspiracy Theory, Part 4," Sharon borrows Buzz's camera to record final messages to her family. Aware that she does not have much longer to live, Sharon leaves the messages and instructions to not give them to her family until a week after her funeral with Buzz. After Phillip Stroh is revealed to have indeed returned in "By Any Means, Part 1," Buzz gives out the messages early. In particular, Buzz gives Rusty his private message from Sharon and urges Rusty to view it in light of the threat from Stroh.

In the "By Any Means" arc, Buzz takes on a greater role in the investigation into Phillip Stroh's renewed murder spree. In "By Any Means, Part 3," Buzz realizes that Major Crimes has been hacked and discreetly alerts the others. Buzz joins the meeting with Assistant Chief Mason and argues for laying a trap for Stroh's accomplice, Dylan Baxter despite Buzz acknowledging that he usually just "turns things on and off around here." To the surprise of everyone, Mason asks for Buzz's opinion over Tao's after Buzz speaks up and agrees with the argument that Buzz presents for laying a trap and the low risks it has. In "By Any Means, Part 4," while the rest of the LAPD is surrounding the airport Stroh is supposedly fleeing the country from, Rusty insists upon checking on Tammy Bechtel, Stroh's ex-stepsister. With no other backup available, Provenza reinstates Buzz as a Reserve Detective and has Buzz act as his backup. In the process, Provenza has Buzz break down the woman's front door, but he does the worst job of it that Provenza has ever seen. Armed with a gun, Buzz helps to clear the Bechtel home and finds Tammy's body. However, in order to get a chance to kill Stroh, Provenza orders Buzz not to call in the murder yet and to remain behind with his camera, timestamp off, to record the murder scene.

In the final scene of Major Crimes, Provenza announces to Buzz at Julio's promotion ceremony that he has arranged for Buzz to attend the police academy for the next eighteen weeks. When Buzz returns, he will be a probationary detective and a full member of the squad instead of officially being their Civilian Surveillance Coordinator. Provenza jokes to an excited Buzz that he did it just to keep Buzz from quoting his Reserve Detective classes anymore.

title: Lindemannsruhe

text:
The Lindemannsruhe is an area of upland in the parish of Freinsheim in the German county of Bad Dürkheim. It lies at a height of 465 metres above sea level (NN) in the foothills of the Palatinate Forest, below the Peterskopf (487 m) and was named after a former senior forester, Lindemann. It is a popular recreation area for walkers, hikers and cyclists.

Description
It is the base for many walkers and hikers as well as a training circuit for numerous mountain bikers and racing cyclists.
On the heights is the Lindemannsruhe forester's lodge, built in 1927, as well as a car park. The woods on the Lindemannsruhe are dominated by sweet chestnut trees, which attract conker collectors every year in the autumn.

The road to the Lindemannshöhe on the western side is only single-lane in places; on the eastern side it is two lanes wide throughout.

In the vicinity of the Lindemannsruhe is the Bismarck monument and Bismarck Tower.

As a result of its location as an exclave the Lindemannsruhe Forester's Lodge is the only building in Freinsheim with both a different post code and dial code: 67098 instead of 67251, and 06322 instead of 06353.

Sport

 The Palatine Mountain Sprint (Pfälzer Bergsprint) runs via Höningen to the Lindemannsruhe (started 2001)
 The Lindemannsruhe is part of the cycling route of the Maxdorf Triathlon, having to be visited twice from Leistadt.
 Due to paths that have been clearly waymarked by the Palatinate Forest Club the Lindemannsruhe is a starting point for long and short walks e.g. to the  Bismarck Tower or the Ungeheuersee.

title: Brother Brick

text:
Brother Brick were an Australian punk rock band formed in the city of Sydney, New South Wales in 1991. Led by Stewart (Leadfinger) Cunningham, the band released many 7" vinyl singles and 1 album in its time and contained members of many other successful Australian bands.

History
The original line-up of Brother Brick was formed following the demise of The Proton Energy Pills from Wollongong and The Horny Toads from Sydney and featured former Protons guitarist Stewart Leadfinger Cunningham and former Horny Toads bass player Kurt Anderson and Drummer, Mikey  J Stephenson. The Horny Toads were originally formed in Brisbane but moved to Sydney in 1988 and over the next 2 years they played many gigs with The Proton Energy Pills at venues such as The Lansdowne Hotel, The Journos Club and the Hopetoun Hotel. Both bands were 5-piece 'rock' bands and had much in common musically being inspired by many of the same seminal acts Radio Birdman, Blue Öyster Cult and The MC5. Other members of these two bands also went on to play in The Dubrovniks, Tumblweed and Leadfinger.

After previously playing in classic 5-piece 'Detroit' style rock bands the 3 founding members of Brother Brick made a conscious decision to play a different style of music to their previous bands. Keeping to the stripped back line up and inspired by bands such as X, The Eastern Dark, The Saints, Motörhead, The Wipers and Hüsker Dü all three members shared vocal duties and contributed to the songwriting. They sought out a more edgier and original style of rock that also took in elements of punk and 1960s blues rock such as Cream and Hendrix. They played live regularly in Sydney mostly at smaller pub venues like The Evil Star, The Lansdowne Hotel, The Vic on the Park Hotel and the Manly Vale Hotel but were ignored by the bigger venues and booking agents. Brother Brick made the long trips to Melbourne and Brisbane many times playing with like minded bands such as The Powder Monkeys, Freeloaders, The Splatterheads and Asteroid B-612 and scoring support spots with the likes of Nomeansno, Deniz Tek, The Hitmen and The Celibate Rifles. This line up of Brother Brick had built up a solid live reputation and a reputation for no holds barred attitude but split up in 1994 following the release of a CD EP and two 7" singles, most notably the 'Chokito Bar' 7" on Dog Meat Records.

The following year Cunningham resumed Brother Brick with a new line up that included Scott Nash Asteroid B-612 on Bass and Craig Jackson on Drums. Continuing with the 3-piece format but with Cunningham taking over all vocal duties, this line-up of the band did not play live very often and instead focused on preparing to record what would become Brother Brick's only album, the prophetically titled A Portable Altamont. The album was recorded on a shoe string budget at Powerhouse Studio in Waterloo, Sydney but the release delayed whilst Nash and Cunningham focused on their duties with Asteroid B-612 - Cunningham having officially joined that band following the demise of the original Brother Brick. Further delays were caused when first Nash and then Jackson both left the band and the subsequent loss of the master CD of the album stalled the existence of the band completely in 1997. It was not until almost 2 years later when Cunningham found a cassette copy of the master CD that the band reconvened with Jay Curley (Tumbleweed, The Proton Energy Pills) on bass and Ashley Thomson (The Kelpies, The Panadolls) on drums. There had been considerable interest in the band from Europe and US during the unfortunate hiatus and this gave the band new life and enabled the release of the album and a bunch of singles in the US and Europe. This final line up of Brother Brick failed to record but played live regularly in support of the new releases. They supported touring bands like Dead Moon, Zeke, Jad Fair and played with local acts like The Powder Monkeys, The Onyas and The Bloodsucking Freaks. A Portable Altamont was well received by critics and fans, with a few of the songs that were written back in the first lineup of the band finally seeing a proper recorded release. Brother Brick played their final gig in June 2000 at the Zetland Hotel in Sydney.

In 2006, Melbourne-based record label Off the Hip released a double CD retrospective on the band that included all of their studio recordings and many unreleased demo's, live recordings and extensive liner notes. The release was titled Stranded in the Nineties, a phrase taken from the game of Cricket that refers to a player almost making a century but running out of time and batting partners, it was chosen to reflect the bands status as terminal underachievers, a virtually unknown group playing a distinctly Australian style of high energy rock'n'roll that failed to register a blip in Australia during a decade that was overrun by imported grunge, slacker rock and Nirvana wannabes.

title: Lanthanum manganite

text:
Lanthanum manganite is an inorganic compound with the formula LaMnO3, often abbreviated as LMO. Lanthanum manganite is formed in the perovskite structure, consisting of oxygen octahedra with a central Mn atom. The cubic perovskite structure is distorted into an orthorhombic structure by a strong Jahn–Teller distortion of the oxygen octahedra.

LaMnO3 often has lanthanum vacancies as evidenced by neutron scattering. For this reason, this material is usually referred as LaMnO3+ẟ. These vacancies generate a structure with a rhombohedral unit cell in this perovskite. A temperatures below 140 K, this LaMnO3+ẟ semiconductor exhibit a ferromagnetic order.

Synthesis
Lanthanum manganite can be prepared via solid-state reactions at high temperatures, using their oxides or carbonates. An alternative method is to use lanthanum nitrate and manganese nitrate as raw materials. The reaction occurs at high temperature after the solvents are vaporized.

Lanthanum manganite alloys
Lanthanum manganite is an electrical insulator and an A-type antiferromagnet. It is the parent compound of several important alloys, often termed rare-earth manganites or colossal magnetoresistance oxides. These families include lanthanum strontium manganite, lanthanum calcium manganite and others.

In lanthanum manganite, both the La and the Mn are in the +3 oxidation state. Substitution of some of the La atoms by divalent atoms such as Sr or Ca induces a similar amount of tetravalent Mn4+ ions. Such substitution, or doping can induce various electronic effects, which form the basis of a rich and complex electron correlation phenomena that yield diverse electronic phase diagrams in these alloys.

title: Stronger (Sanna Nielsen album)

text:
Stronger is an album by Swedish singer Sanna Nielsen, released on April 16, 2008, and her first in English. It featured her single “Empty Room” which came 2nd at the Melodifestivalen 2008. The album debuted at #1 at the Swedish album chart.

Track listing
The album was released in April 2008 with 14 tracks, and bonus video clip of her single “Empty Room”. It includes a cover of Olivia Newton-John's "Magic"

Note: Track 14 ends at 2:58 followed by silence until 6:45 and a hidden track “Paradise“ which is ended abruptly at 9:26 by Sanna saying, among other things (in Swedish): "Can't we take this for the next album instead?" – almost 3 years later it was included in its entirety on her album “I'm In Love”.

Review
AllMusic critic John Lucas reviewed the album positively, saying this is “Nielsen's first album in English, it is also clearly aimed at a younger market” and "There's no reason why several songs on this album couldn't take flight well beyond the confines of the Swedish pop scene given the right push. A veteran at just 23 years of age, Nielsen has finally emerged as a star with significant potential."

title: Dhankar Village

text:
Dhankar Village (also Dankhar, Drangkhar; Brang-mkhar or Grang-mkhar) is a large high village which used to be the capital of the Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. It is at an altitude of 3,894 metres (12,774 feet) above sea level, between the towns of Tabo and Kaza, Himachal Pradesh. Above the village sits the local monastery - the Dhankar Gompa. Total number of houses are 68. The 40th head of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, Pelden Gyeltshen (1601-1674), came from Dhankar.

Description
The mountaineer and explorer Harish Kapadia describes Dhankar as following:

Dankhar (3870 m.) the old capital of Spiti is a large village built on a spur or bluff which stands out into the main valley and ends in a precipice. It rises 300 m above the river. It stands above Sichling on the left bank of the Spiti river which is wide here. There may perhaps once have been a fort here, but no trace of it was seen except for what seemed to be a large house on the top of the hill. Dankhar was capital of Spiti for many years till needs of the modern day saw the capital shifted to Kaja Kaza. Situated on the ridge it would have been very easy to defend this place. I was told stories about how the lamas sat in the monastery or the upper houses throwing stones at invaders. Life was very simple before the days of bullets! The whole place is very picturesque. As I approached it, I could see its corridors cut in the rock face leading to various chambers which are either used as store rooms for the villagers or as rest-houses for the travellers. There are seven tiers of houses built along the slope. . . . Now it is connected by a rough, motorable road and is 27 km from Kaja. Towards the west of it is the Pin Valley.

Demographics
Dhankhar is a medium size village located in Spiti of Lahul and Spiti district, Himachal Pradesh with total 68 families residing. The Dhankhar village has population of 301 of which 152 are males while 149 are females as per Population Census 2011.

In Dhankhar village population of children with age 0-6 is 44 which makes up 14.62% of total population of village. Average Sex Ratio of Dhankhar village is 980 which is higher than Himachal Pradesh state average of 972. Child Sex Ratio for the Dhankhar as per census is 2143, higher than Himachal Pradesh average of 909.

Dhankhar village has lower literacy rate compared to Himachal Pradesh. In 2011, literacy rate of Dhankhar village was 77.43% compared to 82.80% of Himachal Pradesh. In Dhankhar Male literacy stands at 84.78% while female literacy rate was 68.91%.

As per the constitution of India and Panchyati Raaj Act, Dhankhar village is administered by a Sarpanch (Head of Village) who is an elected representative of the village.

text:
Charles Stanley Ogilvy (1913–2000) was an American mathematician, sailor, and author. He was a professor of mathematics at Hamilton College (New York), and a frequent competitor at the Star World Championships. His many books include works on both mathematics and sailing.

Sailing
Ogilvy grew up sailing near New Rochelle, New York, on the mainland side of the Long Island Sound. Beginning in 1931 he crewed for Howard McMichael on the two-man Star class Grey Fox, and in 1934 he bought the boat and renamed it the Jay. He won over 47 regattas, and was a frequent competitor in the Star World Championships; his best finishes were second in 1947 (crewing for Hilary Smart) and third in 1949 and 1951 (both with his own boat, Flame). Later, he also sailed Etchells.

Ogilvy belonged to the Larchmont Yacht Club for 62 years, and served as its historian. He was the first vice president of the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association, edited its publications for many years, and also served as historian for the class.

In 1990, Ogilvy was the second recipient of the Harry Nye Memorial Trophy of the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association, in recognition of his contributions to Star class sailing. The C. Stanley Ogilvy Masters Trophy, an antique sextant awarded to a sailor over the age of 50, was named in his honor and has been presented annually by the Etchells World Championships since 1999.

Education and career
Ogilvy went to the Berkshire School, then did his undergraduate studies at Williams College. During World War II, his bad eyesight preventing him from serving in the Navy; instead he became the commander of a rescue boat on the Pacific Front for the U.S. Army. After earning an M.A. from Cambridge University and an M.S. at Columbia University, and doing additional studies at Princeton University, Ogilvy finished his graduate studies with a PhD in mathematics from Syracuse University in 1954. His thesis, supervised by Walter R. Baum, was entitled An Investigation of Some Properties of Asymptotic Lines on Surfaces of Negative Gaussian Curvature.

Ogilvy began his teaching career at Trinity College (Connecticut), and joined the faculty of Hamilton College (New York) in 1953. He chaired the mathematics department beginning in 1969, and was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He remained at Hamilton until 1974, when he retired so that he could spend more of his time sailing.

Ogilvy died on June 21, 2000, in Mamaroneck, New York.

Books
Ogilvy wrote many books on both mathematics and sailing, which were translated into several other languages.
They include:
 Successful Yacht Racing (Norton, 1951)
 Through the Mathescope (Oxford Univ. Press, 1956). Later republished as Excursions in Mathematics.

title: Rolf Steinhausen

text:
Rolf Steinhausen (born 27 July 1943 in Nümbrecht) is a German former motorcycle racer, winner of two Sidecar World Championships.

Career
Steinhausen made his debut in motorcycle racing in 1961. After a few incidents, in 1964 moved on to the sidecar class, driven also by his friendship with the four-time World Sidecar Champion Max Deubel. Deubel recognized Steinhausen's talent and gave him one of his sidecars.

Having started with the sidecar powered by BMW in 1972 Steinhausen decided to use the engines of König, four-cylinder two-stroke of powerboat origin. The new engines allowed the German to build a sidecar lower and with better aerodynamics. In that year the German also made his debut in the Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Championship, where he came tenth in partnership with Werner Kapp, achieving a best result of fourth place at the Austrian GP.

The following season Steinhausen was 6th in the World (alternating passengers, Karl Scheurer and Erich Schmitz), getting his first podium finish (third in the Sidecar TT). For the '74 season, the German made a new chassis with the specialist Dieter Busch. With the new sidecar Steinhausen won his first GP (one of Belgium) and was fourth in the World (alternating two passengers this year too: Scheurer and Josef Huber).

The 1975 saw Steinhausen (paired with Huber) graduate to Champion of the World, thanks to three wins ( Austria, TT and Belgium). That '75 was also the first title for a two-stroke sidecar. In 1976 Steinhausen is reconfirmed champion (winning again the same three GP as the previous year) and the 500cc Sidecar TT.

The '77 season saw Steinhausen favorite for the title, but he did not do it, for various engine problems. From the French GP Steinhausen changed to a new engine from Yamaha and a new passenger (Wolfgang Kalauch), which ended the season in 4th place with a win in Czechoslovakia. Remembered for the Belgian Grand Prix, where the German marked the lap record at 200.520 km/h.

Despite winning his third Sidecar TT, he had an anonymous 1978, finishing in 14th place in the world championship, the 1979 season saw Steinhausen fighting for the title of the category B2A, finishing in 2nd place behind the Swiss Rolf Biland. That '79 title was one of the last competitive seasons for Steinhausen, whose career ended in late 1989, having won two German sidecar titles (1986 and 1987).

Retirement
After retiring Steinhausen has become an entrepreneur, running a trucking firm. He is father of current sidecar racer Jörg Steinhausen.

text:
Donny Imam Priambodo (born December 23, 1973) is an Indonesian enterpreneur and politician.

Early life and career
Donny Imam Priambodo was born December 23, 1973, in Jombang, a small town in East Java, Indonesia. His father, late H. R. Imam Soepangkat, B.Sc was employed by the state-owned sugar mills from 1972 to 2000, ever become an Administrator for Tjoekir & Jombang Baru Sugar Factory, and retired with last position of Corporate Secretary of PTPN X (PT Perkebunan Nusantara X, a state owned company). Because the number of sugar mills was brought under the auspices of PTPN X, and Priambodo's father moved a lot in several sugar factories because he was assigned, he grew up in a number of towns within Java and Sumatra.

In July 1992/1993, Priambodo enrolled in a Technic University in Surabaya, majoring in electronics. In his school years, he studied and became a lecturer's assistance. Because of his hobby in the field of electronics, in less than four years (in Indonesia to obtain a bachelor's degree one must be educated for at least four  years). After graduating, Priambodo was directly appointed as lecturer, and taught electronics and digital system.

Priambodo was a lecturer between 1997 and late 1999 before he relocated to Bandung, West Java. In Bandung-West Java, he was directly appointed by a telecommunications contracting company , PT. Aprotech (Aprillia Profesional Technology) as technical director for one year, and moved to another company PT. Surya Duta Postelindo (Suryatelindo) in the same field,  in 2001 as a finance director.

In 2002, Priambodo created his own company. His first venture, PT. Professional Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Protelindo), engaged in telecommunications infrastructure investments, particularly in providing antenna towers leasing and in building system (GSM Repeater) to cellular operators. Priambodo initiated a joint venture with Michael Gearon of American Tower, a US-based tower company. Due to the Indonesian government issuing a regulation that foreign ownership should be below 35%, the company was acquired by a local company, under the name of PT. Sarana Menara Nusantara. In 2006–2007, Priambodo merged his company with American Tower, and he established Arda Indonesia as a Holding & Investment Company.

After sold the company in the telecommunications field, Priambodo switched to electronic business specifically for the military, and founded the ARDA INDONESIA Group as a business entity. As a result, the company is currently fostered with his distant relative Mr.Rahardjo Pratjihno (PT.CMI Technology). It has been recognized by the government as the company's first domestic defense industry in Indonesia, particularly in the field of electronics systems.

In 2011, he established Arda Power Indonesia as subsidiary company of Arda Indonesia, and deals with Jet Fighter Escape System Parts of Martin Baker UK, as its exclusive agent in Indonesia.

Political career: 2004–present
Donny Imam Priambodo's political career began  in 2004, when he entered the board as a member of the Golkar Party Working Group on Social Welfare. From 2004 to 2009, he was very active in the party as well as a successful entrepreneur.

In the Golkar Party, he was appointed as the Deputy Commander of the SAR (Search and Rescue), and was also appointed as Treasurer of the Indonesian Volunteer (Golkar party formation).

In 2009, Priambodo was assigned a candidate member of the legislature party in the constituency of Central Java 3, which covers an area Grobogan, Blora, Rembang, and Pati. However, he failed to become a member.

In 2013, Priambodo joined the NasDem Party, which was founded by Surya Paloh. In 2014, Priambodo  assigned by the party which was founded in 2012, became a member legislative candidate from the same constituency in 2009 elections. Having been known by people in the voting area, in 2014, Priambodo managed to become a member of the legislature.
The party placed him at Finance and Banking Commission, at the House of Representatives this commission is appointed as Commission XI.
He also appointed as Chief of Indonesia - Ukraine Parliament Bilateral Cooperation. During the term of 2019-2024 he was appointed by the NasDem Party to be chairman of the board of The Digital & Cyber.
In the election of the president of Indonesian Amateur Radio Organization (ORARI, www.orari.or.id), in Nov 2021, he is elected become President Of ORARI for periods 2021-2026.

title: Lübeck–Lübeck-Travemünde Strand railway

text:
The  Lübeck-Travemünde Strand railway line is a mostly single-track, electrified railway in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It mainly serves local services to Travemünde’s Baltic Sea beach, the Baltic Sea ferries and suburbs of Lübeck.

Route

The railway runs from Lübeck Hauptbahnhof (main station) to the north together with the Lübeck–Puttgarden railway (Vogelfluglinie, "Bird Flight Line") and the Kiel–Lübeck railway. Shortly before reaching Bad Schwartau station the line forks off to the east. A freight line branches off the Travemünde line to Lübeck-Dänischburg. The main line then reaches the newly built Lübeck-Kücknitz station. The line continues along the lower course of the Trave, until it reaches Lübeck-Travemünde Skandinavienkai (Scandinavia Quay) station. This station was built near the quays of the ferries to Sweden and Finland because the older Travemünde Hafen (harbour) station was too far away from the ferries. As part of the reorganisation and expansion of the Scandinavia Quay, the track was moved in 2005 and a new station was built. The line reaches Lübeck-Travemünde Hafen station, which is adjacent to Ostpreußenkai (East Prussia Quay). There was formerly a branch to Brodten via Niendorf, parts of which are now used as a cycle and hiking trail. The end of the line is the terminal station of Lübeck-Travemünde Strand station, which is located in the resort district.

History

The line was opened on 1 August 1882 and extended from the present Lübeck-Travemünde Hafen station to Lübeck-Travemünde Strand (beach) station on 1 July 1898. The rapidly growing leisure services at Travemünde required a new Strand station, which was built to the plans of Friedrich Klingholz in the Art Nouveau style and opened in 1911. It has a clock tower that is visible from the beach, which still shows the time of the next service to Lübeck Hauptbahnhof on a large display board.

A three km-long branch line from Lübeck-Travemünde Hafen to Niendorf on the Baltic Sea was opened in 1913 to improve access to this tourist spot.

Until its nationalisation on 1 January 1938, when it became part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the line was operated by the Lübeck-Büchen Railway Company (Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn, LBE). The LBE, which already operated the line in the 1930s with high quality bi-level cars, also introduced the distinctive slogan "Hamburg, Lübeck, Travemünde–from the sea of houses on the sea" (Aus dem Häusermeer an die See).

Before the Second World War, the line was administered by the Eisenbahndirektion (railway division headquarters) in Schwerin. Later Deutsche Bundesbahn took over operations.

The route between Lübeck-Travemünde Hafen and Niendorf was closed on 29 September 1974. Schwartau-Waldhalle was abandoned in the 1990s.

In 2004, the halt of Lübeck-Travemünde Skandinavienkai was established near the Scandinavia Quay for ferries to Sweden and Finland as the Travemünde Hafen station, which was  previously used for the ferry traffic was too far away. In 2006 and 2007, the extensive port facilities and commercial areas at Scandinavia Quay were extended for port-related operations and logistics companies. In this context, the line was moved several hundred metres westward for a length of a kilometre, so that it now runs alongside the Ivendorfer Landstraße (Ivendorf highway). After removing the former hilly landscape, a vast warehouse and industrial area was created between the quay and the new railway line. The new entrance building is located about 1 km south of the now-demolished old building. There is now only a southern access road to the entire port area. Thus, the new halt has no walking access to the Scandinavia Quay more. Passengers arriving by train must change to the bus to reach the ships.

The redesigned historic Strand station reopened after extensive restoration work on 23 May 2006. During this work the formerly broken clock tower clock was also put back into operation.

In 2007, work began on electrifying the line as a continuation of the electrification of the Lübeck–Hamburg railway. The electrification was completed in December 2008. Freight trains since then have been able to operate without having to change locomotives in the Hamburg area.

In July 2010, the double-tracking of the section between Schwartau-Waldhalle and Kücknitz was put into operation requiring the rebuilding of four bridges.

A new halt was opened in Dänischburg with the name of Lübeck-Dänischburg IKEA on 14 December 2014. The 1986 after the closure of the Villeroy & Boch factory, the abandoned halt was reactivated after the LUV-Center shopping centre was built on the former works site with 400.000 m2 of retail space. The change of name is due to the fact that the IKEA furniture store in the shopping center had assumed almost the entire cost of the station with an investment of €3 million.

Rolling stock

In May 1936, the LBE began operating streamlined express trains with double-deck carriages on the Hamburg Hauptbahnhof–Lübeck–Travemünde Strand route, which attracted worldwide attention. They consisted of push–pull trains with control cars equipped with automatic Scharfenberg couplers and two units had a common Jacobs bogie. The eight streamlined express trains with double-deck carriages were purchased from Waggon- und Maschinenbau AG Görlitz (WUMAG) and Linke-Hofmann. They were hauled by a fast, streamlined tender locomotive, which could be remotely controlled by the driver from the other end of the train.

The LBE double-deck carriages offered great comfort for that time, such as padded seats in third class. Larger luggage was taken by porters on boarding and stowed in the luggage compartment and returned when its owner left the train.

Deutsche Bundesbahn continued to operate push-pull trains particularly in the 1960s and 1970s for Regional services to Hamburg, which were hauled by class 220 locomotives. Local transport to Lübeck was operated for a long time with class 211 diesel locomotives with three-axle converted vans with express control cars of yl class.

The section between Lübeck-Travemünde Hafen and Niendorf stations was operated with Uerdingen railbuses from the 1950s to the closing and abandonment of the line.

Passenger services were converted from diesel-haulage to electrical operation on 13–14 December 2008. Previously on summer weekends, trains were operated as push-pull trains with up to seven double-deck carriage hauled by class 218 diesel locomotives. In periods of low demand, especially in the winter, services were operated with diesel railcar of class 628. Following the electrification of the line, the diesel locomotives were replaced with class 112 locomotives.

The freight is hauled with class 232 diesel locomotives.

The line is currently (as of 2016) served every hour on weekdays with Regionalbahn services on line RB 86, running between Lübeck Hauptbahnhof and Lübeck-Travemünde Strand and operated by Regionalbahn Schleswig-Holstein (a DB Regio brand) with Alstom Coradia LINT 41 (class 648) sets. In the summer season, on weekends, public holidays and during Travemünde Week, loco-hauled Regional-Express services also run as line RE 8 from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof via Lübeck Hauptbahnhof to Lübeck-Travemünde Strand.

title: Magical Mystery Tours

text:
Magical Mystery Tours: My Life with the Beatles is a book about the Beatles that was co-authored by Tony Bramwell, childhood friend of the group and Apple Corps director, and Rosemary Kingsland. It was published by St. Martin's Griffin in 2006.

Reception
Critical reception has been positive. Entertainment Weekly praised the work, writing "Though it doesn’t drop any bombshells, Tours is a tour de force of amusing details (like the suitcase of baked beans a curry-shy Starr took with him when the Beatles jetted to India in 1968 to sit at the Maharishi's feet)." The Birmingham Post also rated the book favorably, stating "This is more that just another biography about the Beatles. It's a memoir of childhood in the post-war North and a great social commentary, as it chronicles the birth of pop culture, from Liverpool in the 1950s, London in the Swinging 1960s to the New York/L.A. scenes of today."

Resident Evil Survivor 2 – Code: Veronica is a light gun shooter video game developed and published by Capcom as part of the Resident Evil series. The arcade version was developed in conjunction with Namco for the arcade machines. The game was released for Sega NAOMI and PlayStation 2. It was released on the PlayStation 2 on November 8, 2001 in Japan and in Europe on March 22, 2002. Whilst the Playstation 2 release is a light gun shooter, the NAOMI arcade release features no lightgun technology whatsoever, instead deferring control of each player entirely to a three-axis joystick in the shape of a gun. The game is the second instalment in the Gun Survivor series and the sequel to Resident Evil Survivor. The game is adapted from Resident Evil – Code: Veronica and features enemies and characters from that game, and enemies from Resident Evil 2 and 3. It was followed by Dino Stalker which is a spin-off of Dino Crisis, and has no ties to Resident Evil.

Plot
Claire Redfield is continuing to look for her brother after the Raccoon City incident and she was tipped by an unknown source about an Umbrella facility in Paris. When she tried to infiltrate the facility, she was caught, after which she was taken to the Umbrella prison in Rockfort Island. She teams up with fellow prisoner, Steve Burnside, and plans to escape while an outbreak of the T-virus is released onto the island. This game's events are actually revealed to be a dream after the completion of the arcade mode, which Claire is having after escaping Antarctica with her brother Chris Redfield at the end of Code: Veronica.

Gameplay
In the game, players assume control of either Claire Redfield or Steve Burnside in two distinct gameplay modes: dungeon and arcade. Both modes offer light-gun support, including the GunCon 2 from Namco, although the game can be played using the standard Dual Shock 2 controller as well.

In arcade mode, the aim is simply to escape from Rockfort Island. The route is split into several stages, with completion of each sector dependent on finding a key and defeating the boss character lurking in the area. In addition to the bosses, players must face an assortment of enemies. The arcade mode also offers assistance via the partner system. This allows players to team up with a computer-controlled character to provide cover. If players choose to play as Claire, for example, their partner will be Steve. The game runs on a timer that counts down when an area is entered, and if time runs out, the Nemesis from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis will start pursuing the player and will quickly kill the characters if they don't hurry to an exit.

Without the assistance of a partner, the dungeon mode pits players against successive waves of enemies, comparable to a survival mode. Completion of a mission is once again determined by defeating a boss, but the more zombies and mutants defeated, the greater the overall mission score. Time is also crucial in this mode, because each time an enemy is defeated, a combo gauge appears and the player must defeat another enemy before the gauge runs out to receive an additional combo score. If players are quick enough and accurate enough, then the combo will keep multiplying, resulting in bigger scores. In this mode, the player's character can select three weapons to take on the quest. Some weapons can be used by both Claire and Steve, while others such as the magnum and the grenade launcher are restricted to an individual character.

Development
The game was announced as Biohazard: Fire Zone by Capcom in February 2001 as part of a deal with Namco in developing an Arcade game tie-in to the Resident Evil series. Back in 1998, Capcom had toyed with the notion of developing an arcade game after the proper-establishment of the franchise; this was either the precursor to Fire Zone or an unrelated project "deep in development" for the Sega Naomi that was merged with the then-Dreamcast-exclusive Resident Evil - Code: Veronica (the Naomi and Dreamcast were designed with the same hardware components).

Still in beta-testing, it was scheduled to appear at the AOU Amusement Expo later in February, 2001. From available footage, it was noticeable at the time that there was no voice acting in the game's cutscenes; instead, all conversations between Steve Burnside and Claire Redfield were subtitled. Capcom had already confirmed that they had no plans on releasing the Arcade machine into the North American market. Just two months later, the game was officially renamed Gun Survivor 2 Biohazard Code: Veronica.

Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Resident Evil Survivor 2 – Code: Veronica on their August 15, 2001 issue as being the most-successful dedicated arcade game of the month.

title: Pila Church

text:
The Church of Pila, also known as the San Antonio de Padua Parish Church, is a church dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua in the Philippines in 1578 and the first Antonine parish church in the Philippines in 1581 and probably in Asia. It is also designated as the National Shrine of San Antonio de Padua (Filipino: Pambansang Dambana ng San Antonio de Padua) of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines on April 23, 2019. In 1606 the Franciscans set up the second printing press of the Philippines under the supervision of Tomás Pinpín and Domingo Loag. Its titular is Anthony of Padua, whose feast is celebrated every June 13.

History

Establishment of parish
The first missionaries in Pila were Augustinians who administered their missions from Bay. The Franciscans then started to evangelize the townsmen of Pila through Fray Juán Portocarrero de Plasencia and Fray Diego de Oropesa de San José (known as the Apostles of Laguna and Tayabas) in 1578. They started to established "Villa de Pila" and soon built a church out of cane, dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. From being a reducción, Pila was elevated to a parish on the feast of its titular on June 13, 1581, with Fray Oropesa as its pastor (parish priest) until 1583. With its establishment, Pila became the first church dedicated to Saint Anthony in the country. The Spanish colonial authorities gave Pila the title La Noble Villa de Pila. In 1599 permission was given by the Superior Gobierno to build a stone church. In 1617 the stone church and rectory was finished in Pagalangan (place of reverence).

Printing press
The Franciscans established the second printing press in the Philippines in 1606. The first Tagalog dictionary, Vocabulario de la lengua tagala, by local pastor Pedro de San Buenaventura was printed here in 1613 by Tomás Pinpín and Domingo Loag. The dictionary was used to facilitate the evangelization of the Tagalog region.

Infirmary at Pila
An infirmary run by male Franciscan religious from Lumban was transferred to Pila in 1618, and in 1673 transferred to the town of Santa Cruz. About  75 Franciscan missionaries retired and died at Pila's infirmary, and were buried at the local cemetery. These included Fray Miguel de Talavera (died 1622), a prolific writer in Tagalog, and Fray Blás de la Madre de Diós (died 1626), ex-provincial and author of the earliest Flora de Filipinas, Manila Archbishop Fernando Montero de Espinosa, newly arrived from Madrid, also died here in 1644 on his way to take possession of his see.

Ancient bell
The oldest surviving church bell of Pila was cast on the centenary of the parish in 1681 with the Franciscan emblem and the inscription “San Antonio de Pila.” It survived British invaders in 1762 when the people of Pila submerged it in Laguna de Bay facing the church. It is now the third-oldest church bell in the Philippines. When a new stone belfry was built in 1890, the parish recast an undated old bell in honor of Anthony of Padua in 1893. Today, the oldest bell of Pila is at the church convent.

Transfer
Due to flooding in Pagalangan (today's Victoria), the church and rectory were demolished and transferred to their current site in Sta. Clara in 1800. The land where the Pila Church and Municipal Hall of Pila stands was donated by Felizardo Rivera, the recognized founder of Pila. The buildings were constructed under the direction of Fray Antonio de Argobejo and Fray Domingo de Valencia, the town contributing for it. Due to controversies surrounding the transfer of the church, the relocation took almost two decades to complete.

Secular priests
From 1812 to 1835 Filipino secular priests served as  acting pastors of Pila due to a shortage of Franciscan priests. These include Fray Lorenzo Samaniego (1812–1816); Pedro de los Santos (1816–1819); Pedro Alcántara (1819–1826); and Rudecindo Aquino (1826–1835). The present church and convent was built in 1849 by Antonio Argobejo and Domingo de Valencia. Both structure were badly damaged during the 1880 earthquake, in which the  bell tower toppled. The bell tower was reconstructed by Damaso Bolanos and finished by Francisco de Santa Olalia, and again rebuilt by Lope Toledo. The present rectory or convent (casa parroquial) is made of stone, constructed under the direction of Benito del Quintanar in the 1840s.

Fray Benito also started the Archicofradía del Nuestro Señor Padre San Francisco which was next in rank to the Venerable Orden Tercera (VOT) of the Franciscan Order. The religious festival of Flores de Mayo, for which Pila is now well known, was introduced in 1888 by Fray Benito de los Infantes.

In 1855, plans for a concrete belfry were drawn by the local architect and builder Maestro Sebastián Bade and was built after the 1863 earthquake.

The 1896 Revolution and US occupation

From being a calm town, Pila including the parish was rent asunder from 1896 during the Spanish revolution until the American occupation in 1902, where attempts of take over and reorganization of the government happened. American soldiers used the belfry and convent of Pila church for more than a year. At this time, church properties were destroyed and looted.

The first monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the province of Laguna was inaugurated at the Pila Plaza during the town fiesta in 1922.

Twentieth century
During the Second World War the town was not bombed, unlike neighboring towns Santa Cruz and Pagsanjan. The parish was transferred from the Archdiocese of Manila to the Diocese of Lipá when the latter was erected in 1910, and finally, to the newly established Diocese of San Pablo in 1966.

The Diocese of San Pablo dedicated the parish church of Pila as the Diocesan Shrine of San Antonio de Padua on July 9, 2002. It was led by  Francisco San Diego, former Bishop of San Pablo, in the presence of Cardinal Ricardo Vidal. Many devotees came from nearby places.

The church was elevated to a national shrine in 2019 becoming the first church under the jurisdiction of the San Pablo Diocese to receive such status and the 25th shrine in the Philippines. The solemn declaration was led by Archbishop Romulo Valles, CBCP President.

Architectural features

The church has a three-level facade with classical Doric columns. At the pediment is a niche reserved for Saint Anthony. Windows of the choir loft can be seen at the second level while niches for the statues of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary are found at the lowest level. The semicircular arched doorway has the Franciscan seal on top. On the right side of the church is the convent, now used as a school building for Liceo de Pila, while a square based octagonal bell tower is on the left side.

Pila historical town

The church complex of San Antonio de Padua is part of the Pila Historic Town Center together with the town center of Pila, and 35 old houses and buildings which were proclaimed as a National Historical Landmark by the  National Historical Institute (NHI)) on May 17, 2000, by NHI Resolution no. 2, series of 2000.

Notable religious from Pila
 Sor Assumpta (the former Miss Magdalena Alava y Bartolome) and Sor Consuelo (the former Miss Milagros Relova y Rivera), the first nuns from Pila who joined the "Pink Sisters" of the Perpetual Adoration and the Benedictine order respectively in 1932

title: Chresmoda

text:
Chresmoda is an extinct genus of insects within the family Chresmodidae.

Description

Chresmoda are large enigmatic insects with very long specialized legs, probably adapted for skating on the water surface similar to pond skaters. They can reach a body length of about , with a forewing length of about . Some lagre specimens could reached a size of about .

These Polyneoptera of uncertain position have been considered aquatic and living on the water surface, probably predaceous on nektonic small animals.

They lived during the Cretaceous of Brazil, China, Lebanon, Spain, United Kingdom, Mongolia and Myanmar, as well as in the Late Jurassic of Germany, from 150.8 to 94.3 Ma from the Tithonian to the Cenomanian ages. While most species are known from compression fossils, Chresmoda chikuni is known from well preserved 3-dimensional specimens in amber.
