title: Tentacolino

text:
Tentacolino, also known as In Search of the Titanic, is a 2004 animated fantasy film directed by Kim Jun-ok. It is a sequel to the 1999 animated film The Legend of the Titanic.

Plot
In 1915, Don Juan, Elizabeth, their dog Smile, and their pet mice Top Connors and Ronnie, are tasked by the U.S. Navy to explore the ocean depths in search for the wreck of the Titanic. A gang of sharks in prison attire find the descending bathysphere and summon their leader named Iceteeth. He orders them to cut the cable of the bathysphere that the humans and their pets are on and sink it, because he dislikes the craft’s yellow color. After the shark attack, the craft falls and wedges between some rocks, leaving the occupants unconscious. A giant octopus named Tentacolino finds the craft and tries to pull it out, recognizing the occupants on-board. Suddenly, a host of merpeople arrive to fill in for him, explaining that the surface is too far and the occupants will perish due to a loss of oxygen from the impact. They enter the craft and use spraycans to install bubbles on their heads so they don’t drown. As the merpeople travel back to their base, the group awaken and find themselves in Atlantis, where the merpeople live. Smile the dog is at first terrified by this, thinking he’s in “doggy hell”, but calms down shortly after.

The expeditioners undergo a procedure of drinking an elixir which enables them to breathe underwater before entering the city. Pingo, a living toy silver-fish who is one of the ambassadors for Atlantis' monarchy, reveals to them through a musical number in a room full of living toys, that they cannot go back to the surface, shocking the group. Later on in the main square, Smile falls in love with a white female Cocker spaniel and attempts to woo her, eventually delighting her with a rose planted on her hair. Meanwhile, the pet mice Ronnie and Top Connors are approached by a couple of rats and attend a secret meeting of a larger group of mice and rats, where they learn about a conspiracy to steal Atlantis’ elixir of life so as to gain immortality and strive for world domination. The group is led by a pompous but naive propagandist rat and is in cahoots with the sharks and their leader Iceteeth from earlier. Ronnie and Top Connors alert the others about the plot. The king of Atlantis decides to have the two mice spy for him on the rats’ plan, and substitute the elixir flask with a flask of ordinary water so as to sabotage the plan.

The sharks send a telegram to a boat on the surface, where a couple men are on their own expedition to find a perceived treasure in the Titanic. They are told to be on guard and support the sharks and rats on their mission. During a battle between the merpeople and sharks, a young toy soldier is promoted to be the new general of a 19th century-style artillery group after being at first mistaken for a little girl on account of a wig he wore. The merpeople use an amnesia laser to zap the ship on the surface, making the men forget what they were doing, so as to repel them. Meanwhile, the rats and mice steal the fake elixir and present it to their rat leader and a mouse elder, who is used as a guinea pig to see how the elixir works. After consuming one drip of the flask, the elder is tied to a couple of bricks and dropped into a deep well of water which almost drowns him, as a few of the mice jump in to save him, realizing that the elixir was illegitimate. Infuriated, the elder demands the rat leader and his fellow conspirators be committed to a mental hospital in the sewers and be kept there forever, despite his desperate pleas.

As a reward for their help defending Atlantis from the sharks and rats, the king assists the expeditioners in the Titanic's recovery, enlisting the assistance of Tentacolino and Pingo. The king then transports the Titanic and the expeditioners to the bay of a secret island, where Don Juan and Elizabeth will live happily ever after, while being able to return to Atlantis whenever they wish.

title: Ram Sharan Mahat

text:
Ram Sharan Mahat was the Finance Minister of Nepal under the government led by Sushil Koirala.

Political career
Mahat represented Nepali Congress in the parliament for four consecutive term and currently a parliamentarian from Nuwakot -2.

He was a member of the 2nd Nepalese Constituent Assembly. He won the Nuwakot–2 seat in 2013 Nepalese Constituent Assembly election from the Nepali Congress.

Personal life
Mahat was born to a middle-class family in Nuwakot, Nepal on 1 January 1951. He is the eldest of seven children of Khadga Bahadur Mahat and Tol Kumari Mahat.

He passed the School Leaving Certificate at the age of 13 in 1964.  Ram Sharan Mahat got his master's degree in Economics from Tribhuvan University in 1972. He was gold medalist in his college and university life. Following graduation from college at the age of 17, Mahat worked as a high school headmaster in Lamjung district of Nepal. He briefly worked as a lecturer in economics, at the Department of Tribhuvan University.
Despite being selected for scholarship, he was denied an opportunity to go abroad for advanced studies by the Panchayat government because of his political background. Instead, he was incarcerated for two years (1973–75) under Security Act without any charge sheet. After his release, he went to Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics in Pune, India in 1976 for his Ph.D under a Government of India scholarship. He completed his degree in 1979.

Mahat was also a recipient of US Government's Hubert Humphrey Fellowship 1987/88 and was associated with the School of  International Studies of the American University, Washington DC, US. He was a recipient of the Francis Humbert Humphrey Award for leadership role in the public service by the USIA and the Institute of International Education, USA. He is an honorary fellow of the University of Connecticut/Bridgeport.

Mahat joined the UN service in 1980, and served at UNDP office in Kathmandu, New York and Pakistan. In his last assignment, he coordinated UNDP cross border humanitarian programme in Afghanistan (1989-1990). After the restoration of democratic politics in Nepal 1990, he left the UNDP job to join electoral politics in his country.

Political career

Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat, a senior leader of Nepali Congress, combines a rare background of an active politician and a technocrat. Born in a middle-class family in Nuwakot district of rural Nepal, he became politically active since early student days. He was imprisoned at the age of 14 while participating in a student demonstration. One of the leading student activists in his college and university days in Nepal, he was imprisoned several times by the autocratic monarchial regime in the sixties and seventies. After graduating in 1968 with a gold medal, he taught in a secondary school in a remote Lamjung district and became its headmaster at the age of 19. In 1971, he became the General Secretary of Nepal Students Union, the largest students association affiliated with Nepali Congress – outlawed by the autocratic regime from 1961 until 1990.

He campaigned actively for multiparty democracy in Nepal during the national referendum of 1980. He subsequently joined UNDP/Nepal as a programme officer and subsequently served as Area Officer in UNDP Headquarters Asia and Pacific Bureau in New York.
After losing the parliamentary elections from constituent-1 of Nuwakot district in 1991, he was appointed the Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister of Nepal. He then served as the deputy chairman of the National Planning Commission of Nepal for three years (1991-1993).  He was elected Member of Parliament first time in 1993 from constituent-2 of Nuwakot district, which he has successfully retained to date. He won that seat for the fourth time in the November 2013 general election for the Constituent Assembly/Parliament.

A man of integrity and believer of probity and transparency in public life, he has voluntarily resigned as Finance Minister from cabinet twice. The first time in 1997 to facilitate judicial investigation, when the opposition raised question about his foreign exchange accounts in a NEW York Bank. He was acquitted of the charge and subsequently reinstated to his position. The second time he resigned in 2002 protesting the Prime Minister's unexpected announcement to dissolve the parliament.

Following the royal takeover of political power in 2002, he actively participated in Nepal's 'anti-regression movement', which culminated in the mass uprising of April 2006 leading eventually to the abolition of monarchy. He was the Finance Minister of the first national unity government formed afterwards, which eventually included the ex Maoist rebels also.

In Nepal's turbulent political transition following the decade-long Maoist insurgency in Nepal, Mahat also served as member of the Special Committee for the Integration and Rehabilitation of Maoist Army Combatants, which saw the successful resolution in 2013 on the future of some 17,000 former combatants.

He has also served in the board of trustees of the Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok (1993/4).

Publications
Mahat has several publications to his credit, including the widely acclaimed book In Defence of Democracy: Dynamics and Fault lines of Nepal's Political Economy (2005).

title: Strandvik (municipality)

text:
Strandvik is a former municipality in the old Hordaland county, Norway. It existed from 1903 until its dissolution in 1964. The  municipality encompassed the southern part of present-day Bjørnafjorden Municipality in Vestland county.  It included the inner part of the Bjørnafjorden.  The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Strandvik where the Strandvik Church is located.

History
On 1 January 1903, the parish of Strandvik was separated from the municipality of Fusa to form a separate municipality of its own. Initially, Strandvik had a population of 1,876.  It was a small municipality and so in the early 1960s, the Schei Committee recommended that it be merged with two of its neighbors: Fusa and Hålandsdal.  So, on 1 January 1964, Strandvik was merged with Hålandsdal and most of Fusa, creating a new, larger municipality of Fusa. Prior to the merger, Strandvik had a population of 2,053.

Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old name for the coastal area, Strandvik () since the first Strandvik Church was built there. The first element comes from the genitive case of  which means "beach" or "shore". The last element comes from the word  which means "bay" or "inlet".

Government
During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.

Municipal council
The municipal council  of Strandvik was made up of 15 representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:

title: Mesaverde Group

text:
The Mesaverde Group is a Late Cretaceous stratigraphic group found in areas of Colorado,  New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, in the Western United States.

History
The Mesaverde Formation was first described by W.H.Holmes in 1877 during the Hayden Survey. Holmes described the formation in the northern San Juan Basin as consisting of three units, which were a "Lower Escarpment" consisting of 40 m of ledge- and cliff-forming massive sandstone; a "Middle Coal Group" consisting of up to 300 m of thick slope-forming sandstone, shale, marl, and lignite; and an "Upper Escarpment" consisting of 60 m of ledge- and cliff-forming sandstone. A.J. Collier redesignated these units in 1919 as the Point Lookout Sandstone, the Menefee Formation, and the Cliff House Sandstone, and raised the Mesaverde Formation to group rank.

The group was later traced to the greater Green River Basin, the Uintah and Piceance Basins, the Bighorn Basin, the Front Range, the Zuni Basin, the Wasatch Plateau, Wind River Basin, Washakie Basin, and the Powder River Basin. It is spectacularly exposed along the Book Cliffs of eastern Utah and western Colorado. With the recognition of the vast extent of the group, the group has been divided into formations by region, with the original Point Lookout Sandstone, Menefee Formation, and Cliff House Sandstone being restricted largely to the San Juan Basin and the Madrid, New Mexico area.

Geology
The group is a single regression-transgression sequence in its type location in the San Juan Basin, dividing the older marine Mancos Shale and younger Lewis Shale deposited in the Western Interior Seaway. The Point Lookout Sandstone represents the regression, the Menefee Formation the subsequent fluvial delta deposits, and the Cliff House Sandstone the return of the sea. In other locations, such as along the Book Cliffs, the picture is more complicated, with multiple regression-transgression sequences from tectonic activity along the Sevier mountain front. In the Cody area, the group is a simple regression sequence and remains at formation rank. Here the group is described as interbedded light gray sandstone and gray shale in the upper part; massive, light-buff, ledge-forming sandstone containing thin lenticular coal beds in the lower part.

Fossils
Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the group, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus. Deinosuchus has also been reported from Mesaverde outcrops in Wyoming. In 2023, baenid turtle fossils tentatively assignable to Neurankylus sp. from the Mesaverde Formation were described.

Laila Shereen Sakr (born 1971), known by her moniker, VJ Um Amel, is an Egyptian–American digital media theorist and artist. She is the founder of the digital lab, R-Shief, Inc., an Annenberg Fellow, and Assistant Professor of Media Theory & Practice at University of California, Santa Barbara, where she founded the Wireframe digital media studio.

In her manifesto, she writes, "I reappropriate emerging technologies in processes that are both creatively productive and critically analytical to offer insight into how people from different backgrounds and political actors can not only survive, but also become more empowered to create change in an increasingly networked culture."
She holds an M.F.A. in Digital Arts and New Media from University of California, Santa Cruz, an M.A. in Arab Studies from Georgetown University., and a PhD in Media Arts + Practice from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.

Work

With a background in documentary film and web development, her current practices include system design, cultural analytics, computational art, video art, and immersive cinema. She is known for building R-Shief, "one of the largest repositories of Arabic-language tweets" and for her predictive analytics of the fall of Qaddafi in Libya in August 2011. This work emerged from her doctoral research and development. For the practical component of her doctoral dissertation, VJ Um Amel archived rare social media collections from the Arab uprising and Occupy movements from 2010–2014. She collaborated with a team of engineers to innovate trending, semantic, sentiment tools that analyze Arabic and seven other languages using machine learning. From the analytics processed from the archives, she created 3D games, documentary video, video remixes, computational drawings, data visualizations, and digital performances.

Her media work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions and performances at galleries and museums including the San Francisco MoMA, National Gallery of Art in Jordan, Camera Austria, Cultura Digital in Brazil, Kirchner Cultural Centre in Argentina, Tahrir Cultural Center in Cairo, Fridge Art Gallery in Washington, DC, and 100 Copies in Egypt, among other venues. At UCSB, she co-founded Wireframe, a new digital media studio that supports critical game design and digital arts practice.

She is Co-Editor for the open access journal: Media Theory, and also for After Video published by Open Humanities Press. She collaborates with MIT’s Global Media Technologies & Cultures Lab as a Researcher. At UCSB, she is Faculty Affiliate in the Feminist Studies Department and the Center for Responsible Machine Learning, and serves on the advisory, executive, and steering committees for UCSB Digital Arts & Humanities Commons, Center for Middle East Studies, and Center for Information Technology & Society. Her current book project theorizes “glitch” as an experience of revolution and counterrevolution that occurred across the Arab world and reveals the indispensability, the promises, and the limits of digital communication across borders and languages.

Her journal articles appear in Middle East Critique, JCMS Teaching Dossier, Networking Knowledge: Journal of the Media, Communication, and Cultural Studies, Parson’s Journal for Information Mapping, Thoughtmesh: Critical Code Journal, and Feminist Debates in Digital Humanities.

Life

She was born in Alexandria, Egypt to Egyptian parents.

title: In Carterian Fashion

text:
In Carterian Fashion is the 6th album led by saxophonist  James Carter recorded in 1998 and released on the Atlantic label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow had awarded the album 4 stars stating, "a remarkable virtuoso who can seemingly do anything he wants on his horns. It is just a matter of passing time and accomplishments accumulating before Carter is thought of as one of the all-time greats...  the dominant voice throughout is James Carter's, who in general is a little more restrained, which makes his fiery explosions and colorful tonal distortions really stand out. Recommended". All About Jazz noted, "The album concept for James Carter's fifth release as leader is the familiar organ combo sound with earthy tenor saxophone. The concept works for the 29-year-old saxophonist, who still manages to retain the other elements with which his career has been associated: overt physical avant-garde taunts, swingin' Kansas City rambles, and polite mainstream lyricism"". Critic Robert Christgau rated the album an "A−", saying, "Just by blowing so lustily and swinging so edgily, Carter puts out more personality and pleasure than all but a few musical word-slingers".

title: List of mathematical symbols by subject

text:
The following list of mathematical symbols by subject features a selection of the most common symbols used in modern mathematical notation within formulas, grouped by mathematical topic. As it is impossible to know if a complete list existing today of all symbols used in history is a representation of all ever used in history, as this would necessitate knowing if extant records are of all usages, only those symbols which occur often in mathematics or mathematics education are included. Many of the characters are standardized, for example in DIN 1302 General mathematical symbols or DIN EN ISO 80000-2 Quantities and units – Part 2: Mathematical signs for science and technology.

The following list is largely limited to non-alphanumeric characters. It is divided by areas of mathematics and grouped within sub-regions. Some symbols have a different meaning depending on the context and appear accordingly several times in the list. Further information on the symbols and their meaning can also be found in the respective linked articles.

Guide

The following information is provided for each mathematical symbol:

Symbol The symbol as it is represented by LaTeX. If there are several typographic variants, only one of the variants is shown.
Usage An exemplary use of the symbol in a formula. Letters here stand as a placeholder for numbers, variables or complex expressions. Different possible applications are listed separately.
Articles with usage Examples of Wikipedia articles in which the symbol is used.
LaTeX The LaTeX command that creates the icon. Characters from the ASCII character set can be used directly, with a few exceptions (e.g., pound sign #, backslash \, braces {}, and percent sign %). High-and low-position is indicated via the ^ and _ characters, and is not explicitly specified.
HTML The icon in HTML, if it is defined as a named mark. Non-named characters can be indicated in the form &#xnnnn by specifying the Unicode code point of the next column. High-and low-position can be indicated via  and . The character × whose HTML code is times can be displayed by typing ×.
Unicode The code point of the corresponding Unicode character. Some characters are combining and require the entry of additional characters. For brackets, the code points of opening and closing forms are specified. The Unicode character ⨯ whose hexadecimal value is U+2A2F can be displayed by typing ⨯ where #x indicates that the value in hexadecimal.

title: South Neptune Island Lighthouse

text:
South Neptune Island Lighthouse  is a lighthouse on South Neptune Islands within the Neptune Islands, near the entrance to Spencer Gulf in South Australia.

History
It was first lit on 1 November 1901.  During the 1980s, a new tower was built to replace the original tower which was relocated to Port Adelaide to become part of the collection of the South Australian Maritime Museum.  The lighthouse was converted to automatic operation in the early 1990s.

The remains of the first lighthouse, along with the attached keepers' cottages, store, outbuildings, island reserve, stone fences, stone rainwater tanks, and grave sites have been listed on the South Australian Heritage Register since 15 December 1994. The site's significance is reported as follows:This relatively intact lighthouse complex is significant for its association with South Australia's maritime history and the State's continuing dependence on shipping for transport of commodities in the early 20th century. The construction of the keepers' cottages as an attached row, rather than separate buildings, was not common in South Australia, and these remain as the only surviving example of such construction in the State. The lighthouse has since been returned to Port Adelaide (see registered place 10313), but the remaining buildings illustrate the isolation and self-sufficient lifestyle of one of the State's more isolated lightstations.

title: Football at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics – Boys' tournament

text:
The boys' football tournament at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics took place at the Jiangning Sports Center, located in Nanjing, China, between 15 and 27 August 2014.

Each match lasted 80 minutes, consisting of two periods of 40 minutes, with an interval of 15 minutes.

Participating teams
One team from each continental confederation participated in the tournament. The same country may not participate in both the boys' and girls' tournament. As hosts, China was given Asia's spot to compete in the girls' tournament (and thus could not participate in the boys' tournament). Invited teams were decided by FIFA during their meeting in Zürich on 3–4 October 2013. Teams may qualify through preliminary competitions, or be nominated for participation by their confederation, with the invited teams ratified by FIFA during their meeting in Zürich on 3–4 October 2013.

Squads

Players must be 15 years old (born between 1 January and 31 December 1999) to be eligible to participate. Each team consisted of 18 players (two of whom must be goalkeepers).

Match officials
A total of six referees and twelve assistant referees were appointed by FIFA for the tournament.

† Abdelkader Zitouni and Paul Ahupu are affiliated with the Football Association of Tahiti (French Polynesia). Since Tahiti is not a member of the IOC, they are listed by the IOC under France.

Group stage
The draw was held at the Hilton Hotel in Nanjing on 14 May 2014. The winners and runners-up of each group advance to the semi-finals. The rankings of teams in each group are determined as follows:
 points obtained in all group matches;
 goal difference in all group matches;
 number of goals scored in all group matches;
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings are determined as follows:
 points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
 goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;
 number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;
 drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

All times are local: Nanjing in China Standard Time (UTC+8)

Group C

Group D

Knockout stage
In the knockout stages, if a match is level at the end of normal playing time, the match is determined by a penalty shoot-out (no extra time is played).

title: Iskinder Desta

text:
Rear Admiral  Iskinder Desta (6 August 1934 – 23 November 1974) was a member of the Ethiopian Imperial family and naval officer. A grandson of Emperor Haile Selassie I, he served as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Ethiopian Navy, its most senior officer, from 1958 until his execution by the Derg in 1974.

Early life and education
(Prince) Iskinder (also Iskander/Eskander) was born on 6 August 1934 in Addis Ababa, the child of Ras Desta Damtew, a senior military commander and noble, and Princess Tenagnework, daughter of Emperor Haile Selassie I. In 1935, not long after his birth, the imperial family was forced to flee the Fascist Italian invasion into exile in Bath, Somerset; Ras Desta remained in the country to command the imperial forces fighting in the south of the country and was captured and executed in 1937. Iskinder was educated primarily in the United Kingdom. Desta was at Wellington College  1948-1951 (Wellington College Register).

Military career
In 1952, Iskinder entered as a candidate in the Britannia Royal Naval College and passed as a midshipman. In 1955 he was commissioned into the newly established Imperial Ethiopian Navy as a sub-lieutenant, and in 1958, at the age of 21, he was made its Deputy Commander, with the rank of Commander. Despite his reputation as a "vigorous and progressive" commander and ties to the Imperial Family, Iskinder was a minor figure in Ethiopian politics. While some sources suggest that Iskinder was a possible successor to Emperor Haile Selassie, others maintain the emperor did not trust him and did not give him significant positions of responsibility.  As a result Iskinder often performed minor governmental duties such as serving on the Executive Committee of the International Christian Fellowship and representing the Emperor at foreign royal events, such as in 1960, the celebrations for the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator in Portugal and the wedding of King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola of Belgium.

One source even claims that Iskender worked to curry support among the officer corps and educated civilians by sponsoring scholarships in the 1960s and 1970s, and that on 14 September 1973, Eskinder hijacked the imperial plane and held the Emperor at gunpoint in an attempt to force a change to the succession.  This is contradicted by others who maintain that the Prince remained close to his grandfather to the end, and had dinner with him almost daily.

Following a naval mutiny of 25-26 February 1974, he fled the naval base in Massawa, staying in Djibouti for a few weeks until called back to Addis Ababa on 8 March. On 12 September, when the Emperor was overthrown by the Derg, Iskinder was placed into detention by the military junta. He was one of sixty imperial officials executed on 23 November 1974.

Personal life

He was married to Leult (Princess) Sofia Amanuel, daughter of 'Ato Amanuel Abraham, GCVO, Minister of Education. They had one daughter, Naomi Iskinder, born in 1969.

title: South Australian Maritime Museum

text:
The South Australian Maritime Museum is a state government museum, part of the History Trust of South Australia. The Museum opened in 1986 in a collection of historic buildings in the heart of Port Adelaide, South Australia's first heritage precinct.

Description

The Museum presents exhibitions in a pair of adjoining stone bond stores, built in the 1850s. It offers visitors the opportunity to climb the Port Adelaide lighthouse that was built in 1869 and originally stood at the entrance to the Port River. Cruises are provided for school groups in the naval launch Archie Badenoch (built 1942) and periodically for the public in the steam tug Yelta (built 1949). The Museum presents an active program of changing exhibitions, tours of the museum and of the Torrens Island Quarantine Station, vacation performances, schools programs and events including historic dinners, music and theatre. It has a reputation as an interactive museum that delivers imaginative programming.

Exhibitions focus on the exploration of the southern coast and the voyages of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin, the experiences of immigrants coming to Australia in the 1830s, 1910s and 1950s, health and medicine at sea, the colonial navy of South Australia of the 19th century, the world wars of the 20th century, the ketch traders that served southern ports from the 19th century to the 1960s, life in port, and the ecology of the Port River dolphins. Among its many artifacts is Matthew Flinders' "Best Bower" anchor, which was lost in 1803 and recovered by the Underwater Explorers Club in 1973.

The Maritime Museum also preserves the Weman Sailmakers loft (1864), and has its offices in the former Commercial Bank building (1888), both in Lipson Street, across from the Museum.

Collection
The Maritime Museum builds on the legacy of previous organisations including the Port Adelaide Institute. The Museum holds in trust, a collection that the Institute founded in 1872 and is now the oldest nautical collection in Australia.

Today, the Museum's collection includes more than 20,000 objects that represent voyages that shaped the map and moments that shaped daily life. The collection includes Captain Cook’s travelling chest, the plaque that Matthew Flinders left at Memory Cove in 1802 to mourn the loss of seafarers, the trophy that Hilda Harvey won for the 1930 Swim Through the Port, and the boots that once belonged to ketch skipper Skug Cutler.

Exploration is one of the strengths of the collection with objects from the voyages of Macassan seafarers, Nicolas Baudin, Matthew Flinders, and John Franklin. The colonial navy of South Australia is another strength including the contingent that took HMCS Protector to the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. The Museum preserves 17 figureheads, the largest collection in Australia with the earliest being the Ville de Bourdeaux, built in 1836. The Museum holds very good collections of vintage swimwear, material from the Adelaide Steamship Company, from the Gulf Trip that offered tours from 1906 to 1955, and the grain trade which delivered wheat and barley to Europe by windjammers rounding Cape Horn in sail up until 1949.  It also holds an extensive maritime archaeology collection which has been transferred to it by the South Australian government's Heritage Unit.

Exhibitions
In 2016 the Museum hosted the inaugural showing of a two-year national travelling exhibition from the Museum d’Histoire Naturelle du Havre, celebrating the French explorer Nicolas Baudin's 1800—1804 voyage, which included his mapping of the southern coast of Australia, and his meeting with Matthew Flinders at Encounter Bay in present-day South Australia.

Vessels

The Maritime Museum provides cruises on two vessels: the steam tug Yelta and the navy work boat Archie Badenoch. Yelta was built at Cockatoo Island Dockyard in 1949 and fitted with a steam engine that had been built for a corvette but was left surplus when the war ended. Archie Badenoch was built by GMH's Birkenhead factory in 1942 for the Royal Australian Navy and was later used as South Australia's police rescue launch. The oldest vessels in the collection are the timber ketch Annie Watt that was built in 1870 and the iron trader Nelcebee that was shipped from Scotland in parts and launched in Port Adelaide's Inner Harbor in 1883. Both are stored on hard stand. The collection also includes Sir James Hardy’s championship sailing dinghies, fishing cutters and a naval whaler.

title: Bisbee Group

text:
The Bisbee Group is a geologic group in Arizona, Mexico, and New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the early Cretaceous period.

Description
The group consists of sandstone, claystone, limestone, and conglomerate, with a maximum thickness of  in the Chiricahua Mountains. In the Tombstone, Arizona, area, it overlies the Naco Formation. In the Bisbee area, the group is divided into four formations, which in ascending stratigraphic order are the Glance Conglomerate, the Morita Formation, the Mural Limestone, and the Cintura Formation. These extend into northern Sonora. The group is overlain by the Bronco Volcanics, the Nipper Formation, or the Faraway Ranch Formation.

In the Chiricahua Mountains, where the thickest section is found, the Crystal Cave Formation and Onion Saddle Formation are found between the Glance Conglomerate and the Morita Formation. A thrust fault has placed the lower Jurassic beds over the Cretaceous beds.

In southwestern New Mexico, the group thickens to  and is divided into the Glance Conglomerate, the Hell-to-Finish Formation, the U-Bar Formation, and the Mojado Formation.

In northwestern Sonora, in addition to the Glance Conglomerate, the Morita Formation, the Mural Limestone, and the Cintura Formation, the group includes the Cerro de Oro Formation and Arroyo Sásabe Formation.

The group was deposited in the Bisbee basin, which was the central basin of the Jurassic-Cretaceous border rift belt. This rift belt was located between the Mogollon Highlands of central Arizona and New Mexico, which formed the northern shoulder of the belt, and Cordilleran (or Alisitos) volcanic arc along what is now the western side of the Gulf of California. Deposition began in the late Jurassic with the Glance Conglomerate. This was followed by at least three additional marine transgressions. The second of these was restricted to western Sonora and deposited the Cerro de Oro Formation. This was followed by deposition of typical fluvial, tidal flat, and delta deposits of the Morita Formation to the west and marine beds to the east. The third and largest incursion formed the lagoon belt of the Arroyo Sásabe Formation and the marine Mural Limestone. This was followed by delta deposits of the Cintura Formation. A final small fourth incursion affected only northeastern Sonora.

Fossils
The group contains fossils such as the mollusc Exogyra and the clam Trigonia characteristic of the Cretaceous. The limestone formations contain fossils of scleractinian corals from a diversity of genera, including several species not found elsewhere.

History of investigation
The Bisbee beds were first named by E.T. Dumble in 1902 for exposures around Bisbee, Arizona. In 1904, Frederick Leslie Ransome divided the Bisbee Group into formations in the Bisbee area. By 1938, the group had been mapped into the Tombstone, Arizona area and into southwestern New Mexico. Samuel G. Lasky defined several new formations within the group, but some of these were synonyms for each other due to fault doubling.

title: ABJM superconformal field theory

text:
In theoretical physics, ABJM theory is a quantum field theory studied by Ofer Aharony, Oren Bergman, Daniel Jafferis, and Juan Maldacena. It provides a holographic dual to M-theory on . The ABJM theory is also closely related to Chern–Simons theory, and it serves as a useful toy model for solving problems that arise in condensed matter physics. It is a theory defined on  superspace.

title: Pinky Spruhan

text:
Guy Harvey "Pinky" Spruhan (November 9, 1890 – December 31, 1965) was an American college football, basketball, and baseball coach. Born and raised in Waveland, Indiana, Spruhan spent over fifty years of his life involved in Virginia sports, including tenure as a head coach of Roanoke College and the Virginia Military Institute. He attended college at Ohio Northern University as well as the University of Mississippi, at which he was a standout athlete in football, basketball, and baseball.

Coaching career
Spruhan's coaching career began in 1913 where he joined Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia as head football, basketball, and baseball coach. He was also the school's head athletic director. His first stint with Roanoke spanned seven seasons, where he led the basketball team to a 65–19 mark. During part of this time he was also the head coach of Salem High School, and captured three consecutive basketball championships from 1916 to 1918, as well as a football title in 1917.

Spruhan then moved to the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington and headed the Keydets' basketball team from 1919 to 1922. He was also an assistant football and baseball coach. In three years, Spruhan's Keydets went 38–9, including two one-loss seasons. The .809 winning percentage remains the best in VMI history, and Spruhan is currently the last Keydet head coach to have a winning overall record.

After his stint with VMI, Spruhan returned to Roanoke where he would stay until 1930. His basketball coaching record of 100–81 is sixth all-time in school history.

Personal life
Spruhan was born in 1891 in Waveland, Indiana. He grew up with two sisters, and attended the local Waveland High School where he was an acclaimed multi-sport athlete. His nickname, "Pinky", was given to him after he once showed up on a playing field wearing a faded red shirt, whereupon a nearby person asked, "Who's that little pinky over there?" Spruhan later attended college at Ohio Northern University and the University of Mississippi. At both schools, he excelled in football, basketball, and baseball.

Spruhan was heralded by Roanoke College for his athletic contributions to the school. In the 1923 version of the Rawenoch, the school's yearbook, Spruhan was praised for his "ceaseless and untiring efforts to turn out teams that will be a credit to the college." Spruhan is credited with establishing Roanoke's Monogram Club and the annual athletic award banquet each winter. The football field was later named Spruhan Field in his honor.

Spruhan was married to his wife, Wanetah. He spent the latter part of his life living in Salem, Virginia, and was also the commissioner of the Southwest Virginia Football Officials Association. Spruhan died in a nearby Roanoke hospital on December 31, 1965, due to a lung ailment. He left behind his three children, two sons and one daughter, as well as his two sisters.

title: Baháʼí 7

text:
The Baháʼí 7, also known as the "Yaran" (friends), are seven Iranian Baháʼí community leaders arrested in 2008 that have served 10-year prison sentences in Iran. The seven prisoners of conscience are Mahvash Sabet, Fariba Kamalabadi, Jamaloddin Khanjani, Afif Naeimi, Saeid Rezaie, Behrouz Tavakkoli, and Vahid Tizfahm.

Background

Because the Baháʼí Faith has no clergy, the adherents will choose a Spiritual Assembly, at a local or national level, to carry out the affairs of the community.

While there had been a history of persecution of Baháʼís in Iran, this was elevated to an official state-sanctioned persecution following the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

In 1980, the nine members of the National Spiritual Assembly were arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and never heard from again, though the authorities never acknowledged that the group (plus two others with them when they were arrested) had been executed. In 1981, eight of the nine members of the replacement National Spiritual Assembly were arrested and executed; unlike the first Assembly, the Central Revolutionary Courts did acknowledge that the executions of the second Assembly had occurred. In 1983, the Attorney-General of the Revolution announced a ban on all administrative and community activities of the Baháʼí community in Iran. Though the members of the third incarnation of the National Spiritual Assembly disbanded, seven of them were arrested and executed between 1984 and 1987, as acknowledged by the Revolutionary authorities.

Following the 1983 disbandment of the National Spiritual Assembly, a number of Iranian Baháʼís formed a group to informally serve the needs of the country's adherents on an ad hoc basis. The group's membership evolved over the next 25 years, and was made up of the Baháʼí 7 as of March 2008.

Arrests and detention
Sabet was detained on 5 March 2008 after being summoned to Mashhad by the Ministry of Intelligence. Officers from the Ministry of Intelligence arrested the other six leaders in raids on their homes on 14 May 2008.

The seven were held in Evin Prison in Section 209, which is run by the Ministry of Intelligence, and were denied access to a lawyer. The five male detainees reportedly were placed in one cell together measuring 10m2 and without any beds.

Charges and trial
On 11 February 2009, the Deputy Prosecutor of Tehran said that the case against the "seven defendants in the case of the illegal Bahai group" would be sent in next week to the Revolutionary Court and they would be charged with "espionage for Israel, insulting religious sanctities and propaganda against the system." In response, Amnesty International stated that it "considers the charges to be politically motivated and those held to be prisoners of conscience, detained solely because of their conscientiously held beliefs or their peaceful activities on behalf of the Baha'i community. If convicted, they would face lengthy prison terms, or even the death penalty."

In May 2009, the families of the detainees were told that the seven were now facing the additional charge of mofsed-e-filarz (spreading corruption on earth), which can carry the death penalty. The families were also informed that their detained relatives were scheduled to appear on 11 July 2009 before Branch 28 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran to face the charges. The scheduled 11 July appearance was delayed and no new trial was given.

The first session of the trial was held on January 12, 2010, before the Revolutionary Court in Tehran. Government authorities reportedly attempted to bar the Baháʼís' lawyers from the courtroom, but were permitted access after insisting upon entering. Sessions were also held on February 7 and 12 April 2010. At the latter session, the seven Baháʼí and their lawyers reportedly "refused to participate in the proceedings when they saw Ministry of Intelligence interrogators and a film crew at what was supposed to be a closed hearing."

On 7 August 2010, the Revolutionary Court in Tehran convicted the seven Baháʼí of crimes including "espionage for Israel", "insulting religious sanctities" and "propaganda against the system," and sentenced them to 20 years imprisonment. In response, Amnesty International called for their immediate release, describing the verdict as "a sad and damning manifestation of the deeply-rooted discrimination against Baha'is by the Iranian authorities."

In September 2010, an appeal court acquitted the seven Baháʼí of some of the charges, including espionage, and consequently, their sentences were reduced to 10 years. In March 2011, however, Iranian authorities reinstated the 20-year sentences.

Completion of prison terms
On September 18, 2017, Mahvash Sabet was released from prison. Two days later Senator John McCain commented on being unified with the Baháʼís on her release and condemning her imprisonment. During her imprisonment, Sabet wrote many poetry books that were smuggled out and published. She is an acclaimed writer and a poet.

On October 31, 2017, Fariba Kamalabadi was released "after completing a 10-year prison sentence. Her release follows that of Mahvash Sabet, a teacher, poet and also a former member of the group, the Yaran (or friends) ... Five other members of the group remain in jail...".

On March 17, 2018, then 85-year-old Jamaloddin Khanjani was released, "...the oldest of the seven, is the fifth to be released since September 2017...".

On December 21, 2018, Afif Naeimi became "...the last of seven imprisoned former leaders of the country's Baha’i minority" to be released from prison.

Reactions
In May 2013, a group of United Nations human rights officials called on Iranian authorities to immediately release the seven Baháʼí members.

The imprisonment of this group, particularly the story of Fariba Kamalabadi was the subject of Afghan-American filmmaker Misaq Kazimi's documentary.

title: Chinea

text:
The Chinèa was the name attached to a tribute paid by the Kings of Naples as vassals to the Popes. The tribute was apparently first recognized by the Norman King of Sicily in 1059. The Chinea reached its greatest magnitude from about 1550 to 1776, with grand temporary structures being erected during the celebration all over Rome in honor of the Pope. The Chinea ceremony itself was instituted under Charles I of Naples and Pope Clement IV, and lasted in ceremonial form till 1776, and as a monetary obligation until 1855.

The ceremony included the gift of a white horse, elegantly attired and carrying by the late 1700s the equivalent of 7,000 ducats in silver. The presentation took place annually on June 29, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, and was followed by elaborate festivities in Rome. The horse itself was paraded in Saint Peter's Basilica. The presentation was always made by a Neapolitan nobleman, including over the years, members of the Colonna, Sanseverino, or Carafa families. The term chinea is thought to derive from the French word for a Hackney horse: (haquennée).

In 1776, on the pretext of mob rowdiness during the ceremony, King Ferdinand IV of Naples and his foreign minister, Bernardo Tanucci, as well as the philosopher Domenico Caracciolo, attempted to eliminate the tribute, but in the end while the ceremony and accompanying sanction of royal rule were eliminated, a simple monetary tribute continued. In 1855, during the papacy of Pius IX, in the hope of abolishing the tradition altogether, Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies paid 10,000 scudi for the Column of the Immaculate Conception in Piazza di Spagna, Rome.

title: Philippines–Thailand Friendship Circle

text:
The Philippines–Thailand Friendship Circle is a traffic circle in Santa Ana, Manila in the Philippines, located at the intersection of Jose Syquia, M. Roxas, Revellin, and Zamora Streets, near the Santa Ana Public Market.

Originally unnamed (residents of Santa Ana simply called it the "Rotonda", and still do today), the circle was given its present name by virtue of Ordinance No. 7964, authored by Councilor Luciano "Lou" Veloso and passed in 1999, as a reciprocal gesture after a street in Bangkok was named "Soi Philippines" the year before.  While initially inaugurated during the visit of Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai to the Philippines that year, renovation works on the circle would not be complete until 2002.

The circle was re-inaugurated on March 30, 2009 by Mayor Alfredo Lim, in commemoration of sixty years of Philippines–Thailand relations.

Architecture
The Philippines–Thailand Friendship Circle contains a  artificial waterfall, a nipa hut, an orchidarium, statues, a performance area and a bonsai garden. At the center is a monument named the Angel of Unity, commemorating the relationship between the two countries.

title: Eureka Quartzite

text:
The Eureka Quartzite is an extensive Paleozoic marine sandstone deposit in western North America that is notable for its great extent, extreme purity, consistently fine grain size of Quartzite, and its tendency to form conspicuous white cliffs visible from afar.

The Eureka is commonly underlain and overlain by contrasting slope-forming limestone and dolomite strata, all of Ordovician age. It was named in 1883 for the Eureka mineral district in Nevada, and that name is used almost exclusively in Nevada, but, in ensuing years, as extensions of the deposit were discovered in other areas, the same formation was given many other local names.

Description

Extent
By whatever name, the Eureka can be traced, with gaps, from Nevada northward through Idaho into western Canada along the British Columbia-Alberta boundary, and southward to southeastern California, a north-south extent of about . An isolated exposure was identified in Sonora, Mexico  south of its most southerly exposure in California, but that occurrence probably was tectonically displaced there from California. The Eureka and its correlatives are lenticular in cross-section: in Nevada and Utah the formation extends more than  east-west, thinning out in both directions from maxima along its axis of more than . In Canada the east-west extent is much less but there also, it thins out to both east and west.

Composition
Cliff-forming quartzite, the principle part of the Eureka, is composed of more than 99 percent quartz, which includes both the sand grains and the cement that binds them. The quartz cement accounts for its outstanding hardness and resistance to erosion. Minor constituents are grains of zircon and tourmaline and a trace of feldspar. All of the constituents in Nevada and Utah are less than 1 mm (0.039 in) in diameter; those in Canada are slightly larger. Bioturbation is believed to account for the scarcity of internal bedding.

Origin
Almost all of the constituent grains of the formation were deposited in a near-shore environment, mainly in shallow water, and to a much lesser extent on the beach as determined by the nature of bedding from place to place. The surfaces of the quartz grains are almost universally "frosted" or abraded, indicating that they, at one time or another, occupied a subaerial environment.  Almost all of the constituent grains were determined to have originated in Canada, and were carried southward by currents along the eastern shore of the Paleozoic sea. This concept is supported by several lines of evidence: (1) the only plausible source of such a large volume of sand is in Canada at about 56° north latitude where Cambrian sandstone was exposed extensively in Ordovician time; (2) the base of the formation decreases in age from north to south as determined by marine fossils in subjacent beds; (3) the formation becomes finer grained from north to south apparently due to progressive abrasion of the grains along the way; and (4) the radiometric age of constituent zircon grains points to a northern source.
