title: Code for America Commons

text:
Code for America Commons is a project by Code for America and OpenPlans focused on reducing government IT costs by helping government entities share code and best practices. It was initially launched as Civic Commons as an independent nonprofit organization, but later became a program of Code for America. The project is a coordinated effort between Code for America, OpenPlans, and the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO).

Projects

Federal IT Dashboard
The Federal IT Dashboard was launched in June 2009 as a government transparency initiative.  According to US CIO Vivek Kundra, it was "a website where you could track $80 billion of IT spending annually."  Initially it was only available to the federal government, which used the dashboard to monitor project effectiveness and decide the allocation of resources. With help from the Civic Commons initiative, the IT dashboard was made freely available to all government entities in March 2011.

Enterprise Addressing System
The Enterprise Addressing System (EAS) is a web-based application introduced by the San Francisco Department of Technology to manage the city's master database of addresses. In response to other jurisdictions' expressed interest in EAS, the city of San Francisco decided to open source the system with help from Civic Commons. In early 2011, Farallon Geographics developed a secure solution for EAS using open source geospatial technology.

title: Manchu literature

text:
Manchu became a literary language after the creation of the Manchu script in 1599. Romance of the Three Kingdoms was translated by Dahai. Dahai translated Wanbao quanshu 萬寶全書.

Hong Taiji sponsored the translations of many Chinese language histories and classics in his newly declared Qing dynasty.

The majority of literary works in Manchu during the Qing dynasty consisted of officially sanctioned translations of Chinese Confucian classics and political works, and later translations of Chinese novels and texts on medicine, history, religion. There were few Manchu archetypal literary works.

The German sinologist Eric Hauer argued that the Manchu translations of Chinese classics and fiction were done by experts familiar with their original meaning and with how best to express it in Manchu. Because Manchu is easy to learn, these translations enable the student to use the Manchu versions of the classics to verify the meaning of the Chinese text, for instance, the Manchu translation of the Peiwen yunfu or the language of difficult Chinese novels, such as Jin Ping Mei. Most original material produced in Manchu were histories and documentary texts relating to military and foreign affairs on the northern frontiers which were handled by the Lifan Yuan, such as campaigns against the Dzungars.

Many Chinese medical texts were translated into Manchu under the Qianlong Emperor.

Military manuals
The first Manchu translations of Chinese works were the Liu-t'ao 六韜, Su-shu 素書, and San-lueh 三略- all Chinese military texts dedicated to the arts of war due to the Manchu interests in the topic, like Sun-Tzu's work The Art of War. The military related texts which were translated into Manchu from Chinese were translated by Dahai. Manchu translations of Chinese texts included the Ming penal code and military texts were performed by Dahai. These translations were requested of Dahai by Nurhaci. The military text Wu-tzu was translated into Manchu along with Sun-Tzu's work The Art of War. Chinese history, Chinese law, and Chinese military theory classical texts were translated into Manchu during the rule of Hong Taiji in Mukden with Manchus placing significance upon military and governance related Chinese texts. A Manchu translation was made of the military themed Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Chinese literature, military theory and legal texts were translated into Manchu by Dahai and Erdeni. The translations were ordered in 1629. The translation of the military texts San-lüeh, Su-shu, and the Ta Ming hui-tien (the Ming law) done by Dahai was ordered by Nurhaci. While it was mainly administrative and ethical guidance which made up most of San-lüeh and Su Shu, military science was indeed found in the Liu-t'ao and Chinese military manuals were eagerly translated by the Manchus and the Manchus were also attracted to the military content in Romance of the Three Kingdoms which is why it was translated. The Art of War was translated into Manchu as  Wylie: Tchauhai paita be gisurengge, Möllendorff: Coohai baita de gisurengge, Discourse on the art of War. Another later Manchu translation was made by Aisin Gioro Qiying.

Bannerman tales
A notable genre is 'Bannerman tales' (子弟書, zidishu), a sung verse narrative genre that developed within the Manchu bannerman community in Beijing in the 18th century, flourished in the 19th century and continued to be practiced even during the Republican era. There is at least one example of a Manchu-Mandarin bilingual text, but the Manchu version has been argued to be a translation from the Chinese one. Some other texts contain Manchu expressions within the Mandarin text, but most were only in Mandarin and were based on classic works of Chinese fiction. The performers were sometimes professionals, but often amateur bannermen and members of the Manchu elite.

Works issued in multilingual copies

Original Manchu literature

A rare example of Manchu folklore recorded in a Manchu-language manuscript is the Tale of the Nisan Shaman. Some Qing emperors such as the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors composed poems in Manchu, such as Ode to Mukden. An official by the name of Tulišen (1667-1741) wrote Record of Foreign Regions (Manchu: Lakcaha jecen be takūraha babe ejehe bithe), a journal describing his journey to the Volga to meet Ayuki, khan of the Torguts. The most extensive original work in Manchu is Record of the Words of One Hundred and Twenty Old Men (Manchu: Emu tanggū orin sakda-i gisun sarkiyan) by Sungyun (1754-1835), a collection of 120 essays on numerous different subjects.

History of literature


title: Style of Eye

text:
Johan Linus Eklöw, (born 29 August 1979) better known by his stage name Style of Eye, is a Swedish DJ, record producer, and songwriter. He was part of the electronic music group Galantis from 2012 until the end of 2021.

He has worked with Usher, Kylie Minogue, Lily Allen, Zedd, Miike Snow, Slagsmålsklubben, Tom Staar, Lars Allertz, Soso, and many more through collaborations and/or remixes. In 2012, Linus teamed up with Christian Karlsson to form the super duo, Galantis. His early 2013 single Taken Over, featuring Rebecca & Fiona, peaked at 33 on the Swedish charts. On April 23, 2014, Linus was awarded at ASCAP's 31st Annual Pop Music Awards for Icona Pop's international hit, "I Love It" featuring Charli XCX, which he co-wrote and produced alongside Patrik Berger.

Footprints, his second full length released in October 2014 on Ultra Records, was nominated for a Swedish Grammy. The album includes the released singles: Kids (which went platinum in Sweden), The Game, and Love Looks.

Biography

Early life and career
Linus Eklöw was raised in Stockholm, Sweden. His early musical influences included a range of styles: from Stevie Wonder, classical composer Edvard Grieg, soul music, and jazz; electronic musicians Yello and Kraftwerk; to drum & bass producers DJ Hype, DJ Zinc, Photek, and Roni Size. Linus began experimenting with production as early as 14 years old, creating "weird downtempo and trip hop" songs, as well as spinning drum & bass at his school discos. “I’m always looking to connect dots from my own history,” Linus explains.

2000s
Eklöw started his house music career in 2003, when he released tracks on Derrick Carter's Chicago label, Classic. During these early years, Linus made "Chicago Jackin'" House music with "Swedish refinement and high energy flair," and performed at various underground shows in Chicago.

In 2007, John Dahlbäck signed Linus’ single "H-Bomb" to his Pickadoll label, that was the beginning for a run of releases that in 2008 would see the release of Style of Eye's debut full-length "Duck, Cover And Hold," in addition to its first single: “Girls”. The album contained 13 tracks that spanned such genres as: Minimal House to nu-trance, all geared towards the dance floor and eventually won the P3-Guld and The Manifest Prize for Best Dance Recording in 2009. 2008 was also the year that Claude VonStroke and his Dirtybird imprint released Linus' The Big Kazoo EP (a first Beatport 10 entry for Eklöw), which was followed up the next year by The Race EP.

2010–present
“I’m always about high-energy with a need to push things forward,” says Linus. Releases like "Puss Puss," "We Are Boys" and "Sexx" on Refune Music, his "Wet/Dry" EP on French imprint Sound Pellegrino lead to Skrillex requesting Linus to create the song “Devastate” for the Free Treats Vol II compilation on Skrillex's OWSLA label. In addition, Linus's “Homeless” track alongside Slagsmålsklubben for A-Trak's Fool's Gold was followed up this year with his debut EP on the label, “Ray Dee Oh.”

Linus also was behind the scenes, writing and producing tracks for artists such as Icona Pop (Linus co-wrote the international song "I Love It" as well as much of their forthcoming album), Fenech Soler, and remixed various notable hits: Swedish House Mafia's Save The World, Kylie's Timebomb and Miike Snow's The Wave.

Linus has been an international DJ, gigging at major festivals and club events throughout the world. Eklöw has performed at: Swedish House Mafia's show at the 35,000 capacity Friends Arena in Stockholm, Pier 94 in New York, Tomorrowland, Mysteryland, Snowbombing and Sunburn Festival in India.

Linus teamed up with Christian Karlsson of Miike Snow near the end of 2013 to form the group Galantis, and released their self-titled debut EP (it hit #4 on the iTunes dance chart and was #8 on Shazam's chart of the most Shazamed songs at Miami Music Week). They then took their Galantis live show on the road across the US, including two performances at Coachella's Gobi stage in April 2014. As of May 5, 2014, Galantis has finished most of the songwriting of their first full-length album.

For Eklöw's upcoming second LP entitled "Footprints," various singles have already been released as of August 11, 2014: ‘After Dark’, ‘Kids’, ‘The Game’ and ‘Love Looks’; as well as a track list and album artwork.

title: Sōnan

text:
, is the second single by Japanese rock band Tokyo Jihen, led by musician Ringo Sheena. It was released on October 20, 2004, a month after their debut single "Gunjō Biyori", and a month before their debut album Kyōiku.

Background and development

Tokyo Jihen was first formed in 2003, after Ringo Sheena decided on members for her backing band for her Sugoroku Ecstasy tour. The band was officially announced as Sheena's main musical unit on May 31, 2004, and first performed at a series of summer music festivals: Meet the World Beat 2004 on July 25, 2004 at the Expo Commemoration Park in Osaka, July 30, 2004 at the Fuji Rock Festival in Niigata, and September 3, 2004 at the Fukuoka Sunset Live festival. The group released their debut single "Gunjō Biyori" in September 2004, to commercial success: it reached number two on Oricon's single chart, and was certified gold by the RIAJ.

Writing and production

All 17 of the songs for the Kyōiku era were recorded over a period of four days. "Sōnan" was written entirely by Sheena. The song "Dynamite" was originally performed by American singer Brenda Lee in 1957. Much like the songs on Sheena's cover album Utaite Myōri: Sono Ichi, it was a song that Sheena's parents owned at their home. Her father had wondered why she had not recorded it for Utaite Myōri: Sono Ichi. The liner notes for "Kokoro" list a date, November 25, 2003. This is the date of Sheena's 25th birthday, and was the release date for her solo single "Ringo no Uta". The song's concept was record a song in a single day as a present for others on her birthday. The song was given the figurative translation "Spiritual" in English.

The songs for Kyōiku were inspired by the image of the Sugoroku Tour, and "Sōnan" was the first she wrote of these in 2003. The arpeggio guitar introduction was thought up by Ryosuke Nagaoka (who would later become Tokyo Jihen's second guitarist, Ukigumo), as he recorded the song's demos with Sheena. It was originally just a joke, however band guitarist Hirama played it in the studio session in the same style as was on the original demo. The song's lyrics were written at the same time as she composed the music, and were not revised much from their original state. Sheena wrote the song as a love song, but unlike her previous songs about love, she felt that both the man and the woman could be felt in the piece. Sheena did not consider this song as a single when she originally wrote it. The title "Sōnan" does not refer to a disaster, but to distress in a woman's heart.

The single package and track list are created in the same pattern as the band's previous single "Gunjō Biyori". Both releases feature an English language cover of an American song popular in the 1950s, and a B-side with a single kanji title. All song lengths on both singles are palindromic numbers.  Both releases' Japanese catalogue codes are also palindromic: TOCT-4884 and TOCT-4994 respectively. Both singles' covers are from the same photoshoot, both featuring a white gradient.

Promotion and release

Tokyo Jihen performed the song at Music Station on October 29, 2004, the first time the band had performed there. The song was performed during the band's 2004 festival appearances at Yamabikari, Fuji Rock Festival and SunSet Live 2004, as well as their Dynamite! (2005) and Ultra C (2010) tours. It was also performed at the Dai Ikkai Ringohan Taikai events in December 2005, however not released on the DVD. The B-side "Dynamite" was also performed at all four of Tokyo Jihen's 2004 festival performances, as well as on the Dynamite tour and the Domestic! Just Can't Help It. (2006) tour. "Kokoro" was performed during the Dynamite tour, however was not performed after 2005.

Music video

A music video was filmed for the song, directed by Masaaki Uchino. It links directly into an additional video shot for the B-side "Dynamite", which were occasionally shown together on music video channels. Both videos were made available on October 20, 2004, on Tokyo Jihen's official website. Tokyo Jihen's previous single "Gunjō Biyori" also featured a music video for the song's B-side that was a continuation of the leading song's video, also directed by Uchino. The video features the band's members in formal attire, performing the song in a theatre. The film has been digitally altered, with scenes of each member stitched together causing multiple exposure, meaning that multiple band members can be seen in each scene. The video for "Dynamite" features Sheena performing the song cabaret style, with a troupe of backing dancers.

Critical reception

Listenmusic reviewer Kiyohiko Koike praised the single, saying the melody had a "good old sepia Shōwa Kayō taste", likening it to her earlier songs "Kabukichō no Joō" and "Marunouchi Sadistic". He noted that Sheena's lyric style was much like her previous songs, written in an old, literary style. CDJournal reviewers felt the song was as if the solo era image of Sheena had been taken and bulked up by the band in the song.  Reviewer Kyosuke Tsuchiya noted the song's "jazz-style approach", and was impressed by the "wild power" of Sheena's vocals and the "suspicious melody" created by the guitar.

Reception
Yen Press' English edition of the first light novel volume received a positive review from Anime News Network. It was praised for its "believable characters" and the thought that "switching between the hero and villain's point of view really works." However, it was said that Shimeji's illustrations can make Takaesu (the antagonist of the first volume) "more wolf-like than shark-like in some images."

title: Abronia fimbriata

text:
Abronia fimbriata is a species of lizard endemic to the mountains of east-central Guatemala, including Sierra de Xucaneb, Sierra de las Minas, Sierra de Chuacús and Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, and is found in the cloud forests at elevations of 1,400–2,100 m. Its extent of occurrence is estimated to be only 1,500 km2, and is considered to be endangered.

It is listed as endangered because of its very limited range within 1,500 km2, and its further decline of habitat will cause the population to fall since it is only found in the cloud forests. It is also traded illegally in the pet trade. The apparent threat to A. fimbriata's habitat is from agriculture and the exportation of ornamental Chamaedaphne calyculata plants to Japan and Europe.

Conservation efforts are being made to save A. fimbriata. It can be found in several protected areas such as Biotopo Universitario Mario Dary Rivera and Reserva de Biosfera Sierra de Las Minas and several private reserves.

The 290th Infantry Division was a German infantry division in World War II. It was formed in the Munster Training Area in Wehrkreis X on 6 February 1940 and surrendered to Soviet forces at the end of the war as part of Army Group Courland.

History

The division participated in Fall Rot as part of Army Group B, and later performed occupation duties in France until February 1941, when it was sent to East Prussia during the buildup prior to Operation Barbarossa. It served in various sectors on the Eastern Front as part of Army Group North, later Army Group Kurland, for the remainder of the war.

In the winter of 1941 the division was trapped in the Demyansk Pocket along with the 12th, 30th, 32nd and 123rd infantry divisions, and the SS-Division Totenkopf, as well as RAD, Police, Todt organization and other auxiliary units, for a total of about 90,000 German troops and around 10,000 auxiliaries.

title: 009 Re:Cyborg

text:
009 Re:Cyborg is a 2012 Japanese anime film by Kenji Kamiyama. The film takes place in Cyborg 009'''s future timeline.

Plot
The year is 2013. Skyscraper bombings are happening all over the world, by the direction of a force called "His Voice". 27 years after the 00 Cyborg team disbanded, 007 now works for the British SIS and 002 now works for The USA's NSA after a falling out with the team and Joe. The two agents meet at a bar in New York City to exchange intel about "His Voice" and Pyunma's findings of a fossil which resembles an angel's skeleton possibly being related to it. The intelligence agencies of the world are all whispering about the incidents being related to His Voice, the unknown entity that is controlling operatives of the bombings.

Joe Shimamura, who had his memories blocked and reset every 3 years by Professor Gilmore, is now a typical high school student, falsely believing that he has an unseen family and friends due to the "Augmented Reality" implanted in his brain. He also has a girlfriend named Tomoe, who seems familiar to him in some way. However, Joe is hearing His Voice due to his cybernetic brain. We learn that he was about to plant a bomb at the Roppongi Hills Tower, until 005 and 003 came to reactivate his memories. Dr. Isaac Gilmore suspects that these were orchestrated by the United States government's National Security Agency, in a bid to regain dominance as a global superpower.

In Dubai, a B-2 bomber flown by a US Air Force pilot under the control of His Voice launches missiles at the city, with 002 in pursuit to intercept. 009 appears and uses his Acceleration mode to destroy the missiles. After 009 gets knocked off the plane by 002 in a fight, the pilot fires a nuclear bomb which destroys the entire city and kills the population of Dubai. 009 uses his Acceleration Mode to outrun the blast, but is left unconscious and lying on the beach. In his mind, he pictures himself in the burned out city, despondent over his failure. Tomoe appears to comfort him, and remind him of his purpose. Due to the EMP effects of the nuclear blast, communications are down and the team thinks Joe is dead.

Nuclear missiles are fired and 003 fires interceptors and disables all of them except for one. With no time to lose, Joe requests 001 to teleport him into space to disarm the missile. 001 agrees but states he will be unable to return him to Earth at that distance, as Ivan would exhaust his power doing so.

002 flies up to try to help 009 but ends up burning out his rockets and damaging his stabilizers, causing him to plummet towards Earth. Joe then speaks to God and says that while humanity is foolish and causes suffering towards each other, he believes in them because they have such great potential to go beyond those vices and make their dreams become reality. He then pleads to him that the earth be spared, only for the bomb to detonate in space with Joe on top of it, the light of the explosion forming a cross. Francoise watches two falling stars, and silently prays upon both.

After some indeterminate point of time, Joe finds himself waking up in an apartment in a place that appears to be Venice, and sees Francoise walking across a canal. She explains that he's in her "safe house". Jet, Great Britain, and Pyunma also find themselves in the mysterious city, which Dr. Gilmore explains is the world created by His Voice. Back in the safe house, Joe and Fran talk about God for a bit and then the camera pans behind them to reveal that one of the angel skeletons is in her living room as a decoration.

The movie's final shot after the credits roll ends with the image of an angel skeleton on the surface of the Moon.

Voice Cast

Development
A 3DCG movie, produced by Production I.G. and Sanzigen in partnership with Ishimori Entertainment, was released on October 27, 2012. Kenji Kamiyama is the director and writer. Kenji Kawai, who has worked before with Kamiyama on Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit and Eden of the East, is composing the music. The film was released in Japan on October 27, 2012. It will also open simultaneously in more than five Asian regions, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea. A manga adaptation by Gatou Asou, character designer for Moribito and Occult Academy, is currently being serialized in Square Enix's Monthly Big Gangan''. The UK anime distributor Anime Limited has announced that they have acquired the movie and will produce an English dub at NYAV Post. Madman Entertainment also has rights to release the film in Australia and New Zealand.   At Anime Expo 2013, Funimation had announced that they acquired the film for North America. For the UK release of 009 Re:Cyborg was delayed during January 2014 due to a delay in the completion of the English dub of the film and still waiting on an updated delivery date for this and can't give a firm date yet.

The film was heavily influenced by Mamoru Oshii's cancelled Lupin the Third film, reusing elements of its plot such as the angel fossils, the giant tower in Tokyo, and the questioning of the main character's identity.

title: Boge Church

text:
Boge Church () is a medieval church in Boge not far from Slite on the Swedish island of Gotland. Its main construction period was during the 13th century, but the tower was rebuilt following its collapse in a storm during the 19th century. It contains sets of medieval murals. It belongs to the Church of Sweden and lies in the Diocese of Visby.

History and architecture

Boge Church is an early Gothic church. The oldest parts are the choir and the sacristy, dating from the mid-13th century. The nave is somewhat later, and replaced an earlier, Romanesque nave; this explains why the nave is unusually short and wide, as it was squeezed in between an existing tower and the choir. The tower seen today however dates from 1867 to 1892, as the old tower collapsed during a storm in 1857. On this occasion, the nave was also severely damaged, but likewise later reconstructed.

Externally, the church is supported by a single buttress, erected after the storm in 1857 to stabilise the church. The main portal is somewhat later than the rest of the building, and dates from the mid-14th century. Its capitals are decoratively sculpted.

Internally, the church is decorated with two sets of medieval murals dating from the construction period and the mid-15th century, respectively. The later ones are in the style of the so-called Master of the Passion of Christ. Most of the furnishings date from the 18th century, with the exception of the baptismal font (13th century) and a large, medieval iron chandelier. Some medieval tombstones are also visible in the choir.

The church belongs to the Church of Sweden and lies within the Diocese of Visby.

title: Guttikonda Bilam

text:
Guttikonda Bilam, also known as Guthikonda Bilam, is a historic cave and a hill in Piduguralla Mandal, Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, India. Guttikonda or Guthikonda is the name of a nearby village, while "Bilam" is the Sanskrit word for "cave". There are several caves in the region, collectively known as "Guthikonda Caves"; Guttikonda Bilam is the most well-known of these caves.

The cave is located around 3 km south of the Guttikonda village, which lies 15 km from Piduguralla, in the Guntur district.

Biology

No publications report on the biology of the cave till 2008. It was Mr. Shabuddin Shaik, an enthusiastic M. Sc zoology student of Acharya Nagarjuna University, who discovered tiny milky white creature for the first time in cave Guthikonda. Later isopod taxonomist decided to open a new chapter in Indian Phreatoicidea and identified as a new genus and species and named as Andhracoides shabuddin  in honor of Mr. Shabuddin Shaik by naming the new species for "his child-like curiosity and inherent scientific interest at Taxonomy, Biodiversity & his concern for environment."

The plankton samples of the cave pools, however, yielded only a dense population of stygophilic Mesocyclops sp also during his first visit.

title: South African Army Training Formation

text:
The South African Army Training Formation is the controlling entity of all South African Army training units. The Formation was established in April 1999 and mandated to provide, maintain and sustain landward common training to the SA Army.

History of Military Training in South Africa

Dutch East India Company
The Dutch East India Company in 1786 established a training centre in South Africa for military cadets, from the local population.  However, the school did not reach the stage where it functioned properly, owing to the financial difficulties and eventual collapse of the Dutch East India Company.

Union of South Africa
After Union in 1910, Chapter IV of the South Africa Defence Act, 1912, made provision for the South African Military College. In the Annual Reports of the Department of Defence and Executive Commands for the year ended 30 June 1913, the College was referred to as "an institution or group of institutions, known as the South African Military Schools." The report added that the institution ".At first the only branches of the College which were in existence were:
 the General Branch (styled the South African Military School) and
 the Musketry Branch (called the South African School of Musketry).
The S.A. Military School was established on 1 July 1912 at the Old Presidency in Bloemfontein. On the same date, a class of 51 officers assembled there to attend a course. The Old Presidency had been selected to accommodate the Military School until such time as buildings, which were more suitable, became available at Tempe.  On 1 April 1913, the S.A. School of Musketry was opened at Tempe and the first course, for rifle instructors, began on the 13th of that month. The School of Musketry later became the nucleus of the Weapon Training Branch of the College.

The arrangement, whereby the schools were situated a distance from each other, proved to be impractical. As a result, the various training establishments in the Bloemfontein area were transferred to Tempe on 1 January 1914 and placed under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel P. C. B. Skinner. It was composed of:
 a School of General Military Instruction,
 a School of Musketry,
 a School of Signalling and
 a Medical Training School.

First World War
Following the outbreak of the First World War, the establishment at Tempe was closed and the staff transferred to the mobilisation camp at Potchefstroom early in 1915. During the war years, they were employed in training specialists and volunteers for service with the overseas contingents.

Interwar Years
In 1920, the College was re-established in the now familiar stone building at Roberts Heights (now Thaba Tshwane) and designated the South African Military School. Colonel W. E. C. Tanner, CB, CMG, DSO, was the Commandant.

On re-establishment, the School consisted of the "G' Branch, the Musketry Branch, the Signals Branch and a Training Depot. After March 1920, the real development of the College took place. By June of that year, military training was in full swing.

In 1923, a significant step was taken when 12 cadets commenced a course for commissions in the South African Permanent Force. As a result, college status could not be withheld from the Military School and, on 1 July 1924, it became the South African Military College. A second course for Permanent Force cadets began on 6 August 1924. Another course for Army cadets of the Permanent Force commenced in 1929. This course was amalgamated with an Air Force cadet course early in 1930, after it had been decided that cadets would in future receive combined training for service in the Infantry, Artillery and the Air Force. This training system continued until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.

This policy of combined training resulted in the appearance among South African officers of individuals who sported both spurs (horse gunners) and wings. In 1923, the Imperial Government provided well-qualified instructors for a series of courses in Physical and Recreational Training. These efforts did not meet with success and physical training was relegated to the background. In 1936 and 1937, a deputation was sent to Europe to investigate the matter. As a result, the Physical Training Branch was established on 1 May 1938.

Second World War
War broke out on 3 September 1939, giving the College its first experience of training soldiers under conditions of conflict.  From June 1939 to June 1940, 9 170 students passed through the College, while at the peak period (in March 1942) there were 1 800 students of all ranks on courses. During the war, about 150 000 men of all ranks passed through the College.

The Commando Training Branch was transferred in 1940 and the Armour Branch shortly afterwards. In 1940, the Signals Branch moved from the College to Potchefstroom, where it became the Signals Training Centre, this name being changed to the School of Signals in 1944. The School of Signals again became a branch of the College in 1946 and, in January 1947, it was once more moved to Potchefstroom where it became a branch of the School of Artillery and Armour.
The Chemical Warfare and the Concealment and Camouflage Branches were disbanded in 1945. In April 1945, the Regimental Training Branch became incorporated with the Weapon Training Branch.

Post War Years
The Administration and Ordnance Branch was established on 19 July 1950. In the same year, the Defence Force Academy Branch was established. In collaboration with the University of Pretoria, this branch undertook academic training of both Army and Air Force cadets. The joint training of Army and Air Force cadets at the College was terminated on the establishment of the Air Force College on 7 December 1951.

In the second half of 1953, provision was made for the Weapon Training Branch to be renamed the Infantry School. This school remained an integral part of the College and its first establishment table was set in January 1954.

On 31 May 1956, the Minister of Justice, Mr. C. R. Swart, presented the College with its Regimental Colour.  About 400 men, representing 78 Citizen Force units, took part in the parade which accompanied the presentation ceremony. Major-General H. B. Klopper, DSO, Inspector General, and Brigadier P. H. Grobbelaar, uso, Army Chief-of-Staff, were on the saluting base with the Minister of Justice. The Trooping was done by four guards of 66 men each, with the Army Band providing the music. The Colour Ensign was Lieutenant C. J. Lloyd. Padré John A. Gurney, consecrated the Colour which was then lodged in the officers' mess at the College. Since the College has no battle honours, none appears on the Colour. The tassel and fringe are of gold braiding. The background is the same as that of the national flag - orange, white and blue bands of equal width. The College badge, a wildebeest, is embroidered on a blue background on the white hand of the Colour and is encircled by two laurels of pink proteas with green leaves. The motto "Paratus" is embroidered in gold on a scroll of old gold below the unit badge.

On 1 March 1968, the Chief of the Army, Lieutenant-General W. P. Louw, SM, announced that it had been decided to change the name of the South African Military College to the South African Army College. At the same time, the title of Commandant of the Military College was abolished and the title of Officer Commanding, South African Army College, introduced.

Structure
The Training Formation consists of the following units:

 3 SAI Training Depot - basic soldiering skills to all recruits
 SA Army Combat Training Centre - the Army practical training ground
 South African Army Gymnasium - leader training
 South African Army College - command and management training for senior leaders

Basic military training
South African Army recruits undergo 22 weeks of basic military training (BMT), up from 14 weeks in 2005. BMT is the first of a series of training periods undertaken at the SA Army Training Depot in Kimberley.

The BMT programme consists of 600 40-minute instructional periods, allocated to Fitness,  Drill,  Combat skills, Musketry, Shooting Exercises,  Fieldcraft, Map Reading, Command Information,  Political Science,  SANDF & SA Army organisation,   "Know your Enemy", Military Security,  Chaplain's periods,  Regimental duties, Standing Orders, Loss control, Guards and sentries, Military law, Hygiene,  Buddy Aid, Conditioning training, Combat PT, Recreational PT, Parade drill,  Compliments and saluting,  Musketry and  Weapons drill,  Field exercises and route marches, as well as Basic mine awareness.

Fieldcraft
Field craft includes an emphasis on navigation (including maintaining direction in the bush) and map reading. Also focussed on is the use of a compass, orientating by using the sun and stars; camouflage and concealment – both of the individual and of fighting positions and bivouacs; stalking; observation and judging distance: all of this by day and night.  The "bush lane" simulates conditions in the African Bushveld. A recruit is expected to walk up a specially laid-out path and identify and engage a variety of targets concealed along the way – using lessons drawn from fieldcraft. Instructors may also add tripwires, etc. to add to the realism and exercise knowledge acquired during the mine awareness lessons.

Musketry
Musketry training includes work on the shooting range and along the "bush lane", but is preceded by many hours mastering the maintenance and cleaning of the R4 service rifle. By the end of basic training, a recruit is expected to be able to shoot a 200mm group at 100m in prone and kneeling positions and, in the standing position, from 50m.

Fitness
Fitness is a basic requirement for soldiering, in addition to conditioning training and combat PT, usually conducted in uniform and boots, with an R4; recruits are also exposed to ever-longer route marches. By the end of basic training, the recruit should be able to complete a 25 km route march, bearing a rifle and 25 kg pack, in four-and-a-half hours. They will also be able to do 50 push-ups in two minutes, 60 sit-ups and 10 pull-ups, sequentially, within the same time-frame. After this they should be able to run 2.4 km, with rifle and battle jacket within 12 minutes.

Buddy Aid
Buddy aid concentrates on teaching each recruit the skills needed to render immediate first aid to a wounded or injured comrade. Problems covered include identifying and dealing with cardiac arrest, impeded breathing, snakebite, bleeding, burns, heat exhaustion, fractures and open wounds

Formation Specific Training
Each type Formation receives its recruits after BMT and starts to train these individuals in specialized training relative to that Formation e.g.:

 School of Signals
 School of Armour
 School of Artillery
 School of Air Defence
 Infantry School
 Special Forces School
 School of Logistics Support
 Intelligence School

Example: Infantry Formation Training
For the Infantry Formation, this normally means at the Infantry School, where training commences with two weeks familiarisation training on the weapons found in a rifle platoon other than the R4. This includes training on pyrotechnics and flares, shrapnel mines, hand and rifle grenades, the 60mm patrol mortar, the RPG7 recoilless rocket launcher, the general purpose machine gun (FN MAG or Denel SS77) and the multiple 40mm grenade launcher. This phase may also include familiarisation with night vision equipment.   Once mastered, a rifleman is next schooled on conventional operations, with an emphasis on section battle drills and trench routine. This entails spending many a night digging and occupying trench lines and posting sentries. Full defensive fire plans, including all platoon weapons, will also be executed.   A rifleman is introduced to the art of patrolling and laying ambushes – skills equally useful on the conventional battlefield as during counterinsurgency campaigns and for peace support. Also practiced are vehicle movement, countermine and defile drills and procedures for occupying covert temporary bases.

Section Leader Training
Concurrent with specialised training, those willing, and fitting the profile, are selected and trained as section leaders. Those passing the six-week course are appointed lance corporals. Most will be promoted to substantive corporals after a successful trial period.

Leadership Training
Leadership training is presented at the SA Army Gymnasium at Heidelberg, advanced leader training at the corps schools as well as at the SA Army College at Thaba Tshwane. Senior Army leaders receive training at the War and Defence Colleges.

Joint Senior Command and Staff Programme
JSCSP is a 44 – week residential programme, held at the South Africa National War College, is aimed at preparing selected officers for senior appointments at the operational level of war by developing their command, staff, and analytical skills through broadening their professional understanding of joint and multinational operations, defence management and the wider aspects of the conflict.

Military Research
The Military Academy at Saldanha Bay is the academic training centre for the three arms of the National Defence Force.

Joint Warfare Training
Conventional combined Formation force training is conducted at the SA Army Combat Training Centre at Lohatlha in the Northern Cape and airborne force training at De Brug near Bloemfontein.

Joint Services Training
All Services, Army, Air Force, Navy and Medical Services eventually combine in Joint Training exercises.

title: La pequeña señora de Pérez

text:
La pequeña señora de Pérez (Spanish for "Little Mrs. Pérez") is a 1944 Argentine comedy film directed by Carlos Hugo Christensen and starring Mirtha Legrand and Juan Carlos Thorry. It tells the story of Julieta Ayala, a 17-year-old girl who drops out of high school to marry young doctor Carlos Pérez, only to soon re-enroll undercover after finding married life boring.

At the 1945 Argentine Film Critics Association Awards, Legrand won the  Silver Condor Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.

A sequel titled La señora de Pérez se divorcia was released in 1945.

Plot

17-year-old student Juliana Ayala pretends to be sick to miss school and is visited by young doctor Carlos Pérez, and soon a romantic interest develops between them. After a brief courtship, the couple marries and Julieta drops out of school to pursue life as a housewife. However, her insertion into the role of a married adult woman soon turns out to be monotonous and boring, consisting of trivial activities such as going to the hairdresser's or playing bridge.

Missing her life at school, Julieta decides to enroll in secret again, posing as an orphan that lives with her guardian Dr. Pérez. The girl alternates between her social obligations as a married woman and her studies, which eventually leads her to fail in both areas. On the one hand, she constantly fails her exams because she does not have time to study, while the life she hides from her husband ends up causing suspicions and misunderstandings with him.

When confronted by her teacher about her poor performance, Julieta lies saying that she is forced to do all the chores at home, which makes him feel sorry for her and offer her a private teacher paid by him so that she can be on time with her studies for the next exam. The girl contacts the young professor who was recommended to her and they both meet at the Parque Tres de Febrero in Palermo, where he is enchanted by the girl's beauty.

Upon returning home from Palermo, Julieta is confronted by her husband, who has just called the girl's hairdresser and dressmaker and discovered that she has been lying about her activities outside the home. Julieta quickly replies that she had actually gone to visit her parents, but at that moment they come to visit and reveal that she was lying again. Between tears, Julieta confesses that she had been in Palermo, but she does not get to say what she was doing because someone knocks on the door again. Carlos leaves the discussion for a moment to open the door and receives Julieta's private teacher, who was looking to talk to him—believing that he was her tutor—to ask for her hand. This worsens Carlos's suspicions, who angrily expels the young man and upon returning to the living room discovers that Julieta had left with her family.

Julieta and Carlos spend two weeks apart, given the reluctance of the young woman to confess what she was doing in Palermo with the other man. One day before the exam that Julieta has been preparing for, Carlos is visited by her school teacher and by the private teacher, who explain the confusion. Julieta arrives at the anatomy exam and discovers that Carlos is the one who is evaluating. When he asks her about the heart, Julieta gives a sentimental answer about love and is immediately approved.

title: Rällingsberg mining area

text:
Rällingsberg mining area (Swedish: Rällingsbergs gruvor) is an area with four defunct iron mines outside the community of Långshyttan in the parish of Husby in Hedemora Municipality, Dalarna County, Sweden. The former mining area now forms part of the Husbyringen nature and culture trail.

History
The mining field was discovered in 1841 by farmworker, Clas Westerholm. With a borrowed mining compass he found a widespread magnetic field east of Lake Rällingen near a piece of farmland called Gruvvreten (swedish for mining field). He got his claim registered January 30, 1841 and became half-owner of the prospect together with the owner of Kloster's Mill (Klosters bruk).

In June the same year a contract was made on mining in what was to become Rällingsbergsgruvan. After six years Westerholm was bought out of the mine for 8 000 kronor, but about 35 years later a second payment was made of the sum 5 000 kronor, since he had spent all his money and was rendered poor.

In 1871 the owners of the ironworks started the stock company Klosters AB and in 1892 Rällingsbergs gruvaktiebolag was formed as a daughter company. Klosters AB established a narrow-track railway in 1891 for its cargo between the use at Långshyttan and Stjernsund.

The ore in the mine had a high quantity of manganese and was suitable for bessemer iron that was produced in the new blast furnace at Klosterverken in Långshyttan (Klosterverken Långshyttan) from 1861 (with an interruption 1864–1868). To have access to its own ore reduced the cost of the company at Kloster considerably, partly compensating for the lack of own charcoal.

Rällingsberg mine received electric power from 1918. The mines were run until 1932.

Husbyringen
Husbyringen was opened in 1970 by the Husbyrgen Foundation (Stiftelsen Husbyringen and claims to be Sweden's first ecomuseum. Around the 6 km long nature and cultural trail are 30 attractions related to the Rällingsberg mining area, Kloster ironworks and Långshyttan ironworks. Today, the former dynamite house, mining house, machine shop, sorting house, and electric transformer substation remain at the site.

title: Natural Vibrations

text:
Natural Vibrations, (Natural Vibes for short or known by their fans as Natty Vibes), is a reggae band originally from Kahalu'u, Oahu, Hawaii, based out of San Diego, California with rock and pop influences. The band has received several awards at the Hawaii Music Awards and three Na Hoku Hanohano Awards.

History

Formation
Natural Vibrations was formed by a group of friends who loved playing music; Penidean Pua'auli (lead vocals), Shane Abraham (keyboard, vocals), Kayton "Sly Mongoose" Macariola (percussion, vocals), Ricky "Koa" Ibarra (drums), Keoni Macariola (bass), and Wayne Enos (guitar, vocals) in 1992. They created a unique Hawaiian reggae sound with a party and dance style energy, which is described as "Jawaiian" (infusing Hawaiian music with Jamaican reggae). They became the premiere Hawaiian reggae band at backyard parties and festivals. Romantic love songs and smoking marijuana is a common theme in the band's songs.

Balls Rolling and All Natural
The band's first studio album, Balls Rolling, was released on June 1, 1996, and was a strong debut.

Their second album, All Natural, which was released on Cinnamon Red Records in late 1998. It won the Na Hoku Hanohano Award for best reggae album of the year in 1999.

Getting High & The Circle
Drummer Koa Ibarra was eventually replaced with Stacy Medeiros in 1997, and in 2000 Jehua Evans replaced Keoni Macariola on bass.

In 2000, the band's third album, Getting High, also released on Cinnamon Red Records, won them a second best reggae album award at the Hawaiian Music Awards.

Natty Vibes won the best reggae album category a third time for their fourth album, The Circle on September 2, 2003, which was released on their own label, Natural Vibrations Records. The album also peaked at #12 on the Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart.

From The Heart & Best of album
After five years in which the band concentrated on performing internationally and spending time with their families, their fifth album, From the Heart, was released on April 17, 2007, which in 2008 won a third best reggae album award at the Hawaiian Music Awards. The album gave them their highest Billboard chart placing, peaking at #5 on the Top Reggae Albums chart.

Their first compilation album, Ultimate Vibes, The best of Natural Vibrations, released on May 31, 2009. It peaked at #15 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.

Got This Music
Fatty Vibes released their sixth studio album, Got This Music, on September 6, 2011, on Go Aloha Entertainment. It was the band's first LP in five years. The album peaked at #12 on Billboard Reggae Albums charts. The album featured collaborations with Papa T from B.E.T. on two tracks and Jay 2boi, as well as Penidean's daughter Quela Pua'auli-Puahi singing a duet with her father.

After a couple years, Natty Vibes released two singles in 2013, "Make You Stay" on February 2 and "Let It Grow" featuring Marlon Asher on July 16. But the band slowly dismantled after.

Departure of Penidean
In July 2014, after 23 years in Natural Vibrations, Penidean Pua'auli decided to leave the band and move back to Hawaii to focus on family and concrete on a solo career under the name "Peni Dean". He reunited with Kayton Macariola who joined his band on percussion and vocals, and worked on several tracks together.

Reunion
Penidean returned for a Natural Vibrations island-wide reunion tour called The Mahalo Tour in January 2018. It had been five years since the original members performed together and the concert included a two-hour set with over 30 of their greatest hits. It included special guests Three Plus Ekolu, Ho'onu'a, Malino, and Ten Feet.

Penidean was once again on lead vocals for the single "Better Believe" which was released on August 8, 2019.

Legal battle
Penidean did not permanently return to Natty Vibes since the reunion tour. He continued to be a solo artist, along with bandmate Kayton Macariola. Despite writing most of the songs, the band asked him not to perform from the Natural Vibrations catalog while on stage as a solo artist like in the past, going so far as to order a cease and desist order from his former band.

Continuing band
Natural Vibrations was scheduled to perform at the 2020 and 2021 California Roots Festival, but both were postponed then eventually canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 27, 2022, Natural Vibrations current lineup performed in "The Bowl" at California Roots Festival.
