title: Sheneh (pharaoh)

text:
Sheneh was a ruler of some part of Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period, possibly during the 17th century BC, and likely belonging to the 14th Dynasty. As such he would have ruled from Avaris over the eastern Nile Delta and possibly over the Western Delta as well. His chronological position and identity are unclear.

Attestations
Sheneh is one of the few attested kings of the 14th Dynasty with three scarabs attributable to him.  None of those scarabs are of known provenance however, which hampers research on Sheneh's kingdom.  One scarab is currently in the British Museum, another in Aberdeen, catalogue number 21048, and the third one is in Moscow cat. nu. 2258.

The Moscow scarab of Sheneh exhibits a type of border decoration with representation of a rope, which was in use only in scarabs of officials of the 13th Dynasty and for king Sheshi and his son Ipqu, possibly dating to the early 14th Dynasty. Thus Sheneh may have ruled in the early 14th Dynasty as well, under an unknown prenomen which could be listed in the Turin canon.

Identity

Sheneh is comparatively well attested for a 14th Dynasty ruler and the Egyptologist Kim Ryholt consequently proposes that he may be identifiable to either Sehebre or Merdjefare. Indeed Sehebre and Merdjefare reigned for three to four years each, the longest reigns of the dynasty, and are otherwise poorly attested.

The name of Sheneh has sometimes been translated as Shenes due to a misreading of the signs for given life, an epithet commonly given to kings.

title: Sherlock Holmes (2014 TV series)

text:
or Puppet Entertainment Sherlock Holmes is a Japanese puppetry television series written by Kōki Mitani and produced and broadcast by NHK. The puppets for the series were designed by Bunta Inoue.  The first series of 18 episodes was broadcast on Sundays from 12 October 2014 to 15 February 2015 by NHK Educational TV (ETV); the first six episodes were broadcast by NHK General TV (GTV) in March and August 2014. A special programme was broadcast on 5 October 2014 while a "Sherlock Holmes Award" was broadcast on 28 December 2014. Each episode was rebroadcast on successive Fridays. The programme won the Japan Sherlock Holmes Award on 22 March 2015.

The series is based on the Canon of Sherlock Holmes, with characters and events adapted to a fictional London boarding school where a teenage Sherlock Holmes (voiced by Kōichi Yamadera) investigates incidents with roommate John H. Watson (voiced by Wataru Takagi).  There are no murders, and characters appear where they were not present in the original stories.

Some episodes are being rebroadcast from 22 February 2015. The production of new episodes was announced on the official website of the programme and on website "Sherlock Gakuen". Staff member Kunio Yoshikawa said that production and broadcast of an English version are scheduled. On 1 June 2015, NHK announced that a new series of the programme, called Holmes and Watson Mystery - (No heya :  a room of mystery) would be broadcast on Thursdays' from July to September 2015. The series featured John H. Watson commenting on the deductions of Holmes. Some episodes from the first series were also broadcast.

Premise and character adaptations
John H. Watson, a boy who transfers from Australia to a fictional London boarding school called Beeton School, becomes the roommate of Sherlock Holmes. Although Holmes has a reputation as a trouble-maker, he has keen powers of observation and the two are able to solve the many incidents which occur at the school, at the request of teachers and pupils.

The name "Beeton School" is taken from Beeton's Christmas Annual, the magazine in which the character Sherlock Holmes first appeared, and Eton College.

In the show, Sherlock Holmes is a strange but clever pupil who lives in room 221B of Baker House, one of the houses of Beeton School. He sleeps during class and has poor grades, especially in literature, philosophy and astronomy. He is thought by teachers to be a troublemaker, but has brilliant reasoning powers and blows a party horn when he thinks about something.

John H. Watson (pronounced "Watoson" in the Japanese) is a transfer student from Australia to Beeton School and roommate of Holmes (pronounced "Homuzu" in the Japanese). He has a strong sense of justice and writes about their investigations in a notebook called "Watoson memo" (memo by John H. Watson), which is reported to the school paper, the "Strand Wall Poster" (a wall newspaper). Though depressed from a leg injury that made him retire from playing rugby football, he pulls himself together with the case of Jefferson Hope ("The First Adventure") and comes to understand Holmes.

Mrs Hudson (pronounced "Hadoson" in the Japanese) is the housemother of Baker (pronounced "Beika" in the Japanese) House. She is jolly and loves singing and baking cookies. Only she calls Holmes by his first name, Sherlock (pronounced "Sharokku" in the Japanese). As Holmes helps her get out of trouble in "The First Adventure," she comes to take a motherly interest in Holmes and Watson.

James Moriarty (pronounced "Jeimuzu Moriati" in the Japanese) is a tall and blond deputy headmaster of the Beeton who has two different aspects:  the right half of his face looks calm, but the other half looks severe. He manages the school and is strict with the pupils, especially Holmes, who always behaves at his own pace.

Mycroft Holmes (pronounced "Maikurofuto" in the Japanese) is a sixth former of Dealer House, elder brother of Sherlock and a founder of the Diogenes Club in the house.

Irene Adler is a school nurse who is having an affair with Headmaster Ormstein but takes up with art teacher Godfrey Norton. Her elegance and sweetness charm male teachers and pupils. She comes to assist the investigations of Holmes and sometimes snaps her fingers at his nose.

Gordon Lestrade (pronounced "Resutoredo" in the Japanese) is a pupil of Cooper House and has an atmosphere of mod subculture. He is a member of the life guidance committee in the school but assists Holmes in investigations that are disfavored by teachers, especially Grimesby Roylott, who is in charge of giving pupils life guidance.

Langdale Pike acts as an informant to Holmes. He is quick at his work but tight with money. He partially plays the role of the Baker Street Irregulars through a group of mice that inform for Holmes.

Sherman, a taxidermist in The Sign of the Four is adapted to a female pupil who loves animals and speaks like a boy. She cooperates with Holmes in his investigations.

Production

Development

Following the broadcast of The Three Musketeers from 2009 to 2010, Kōki Mitani planned to adapt The Brothers Karamazov to a puppetry. Despite his love for the stories of Sherlock Holmes, Mitani was reluctant to adapt the series into puppetry due to the difficulty in describing the details of investigations through the operation of puppets. He also worried that it was too late to produce a Sherlock Holmes series as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes gained popularity and the modern adaptation Sherlock had already received a reputation. Then he planned to make a puppet with the spitting image of Sherlock Holmes drawn by Sidney Paget but abandoned the idea as tall puppets are difficult for puppeteers to operate. Mitani then decided to make it a show set in a fictional boarding school called "Beeton School" with Sherlock Holmes as a fifteen-year-old schoolboy. Though many incidents occur in the school, there are no murders and the same puppets appear many times.  According to Mitani, as the story progresses it will be revealed to viewers the full picture of why the show is set in a school. All four novels of the canon – A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear – are dramatised in the puppetry, which Mitani says may be the first case among screen adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's work.

At a March 2014 press conference for the show, Mitani said that only real Sherlockians can enjoy the show. Though the comment aroused criticism, he stated that what he wanted to say is that real Sherlockians should have the playfulness of mind to accept and enjoy any adaption of the series of Sherlock Holmes and that the material is worth creating derivative work. He also said that the presence of John Watson as a storyteller is very important and a splendid invention of Arthur Conan Doyle. He describes Watson as having warmth and passion that Holmes lacks and appreciates Martin Freeman who plays Watson with good nature in Sherlock. In 2007, Freeman appeared in the play The Last Laugh, based on University of Laughs (Warai no daigaku, ) written by Mitani.

Puppets and sets

Mitani has said that what a human plays can also be played by a puppet. The series' puppets are designed by painter Bunta Inoue. He emphasises the cleverness of Holmes by giving the character large ears and broad forehead and made the nose of Holmes characteristic of Holmes in the original. Mitani instructed Inoue on the image of the puppets. For example, the image of Sir Henry Baskerville and Stapleton in the episode based on The Hound of the Baskervilles are modelled on Prince William and Woody Allen, respectively.

Inoue said that he intended to design the puppets to become familiar to children and inspire them to draw doodles. He judged an illustration contest of this show and The Three Musketeers held in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo in September 2014.
The faces of the puppets are basically expressionless and directed by lighting as is done in Noh and Bunraku. The hair of male puppets is painted as colourful as a merry-go-round while shibori dying techniques are used for that of female puppets.

As the show is produced in Japan, washi paper is frequently used in set construction and properties, including bags, tea sets and lanterns lit by LED lamp. Washi is also used for trees and interiors along with cheesecloth and nonwoven fabric to make the atmosphere natural and warm. Nonwoven fabric also has the advantage of never causing halation in the shooting. The appearance of the set is similar to that of a dollhouse and the cloister is modelled on that of an abbey in Cotswolds. The staff referred to the stained glass in the Sherlock Holmes Museum and the building of St Pancras station in constructing the set.

Beeton School has four houses and each of them has its colour such as dark red for Archer, dark blue for Baker, green for Cooper and grey for Dealer. These colours are adopted in the uniforms of pupils. Holmes wears the dark blue of Baker and hangs a clock and a pair of compasses on his left chest but Watson wears the pale brown uniform of his former school. In Inoue's original sketch, Holmes has a cane whose top is shaped like a skull and the letters of "Sherlock Holmes" are written on each of his shoe soles using the stick figures in "The Adventure of the Dancing Men".

Voice acting
On selecting voice actors, Mitani asked experienced voice actor Koichi Yamadera to voice Holmes, knowing that acting ability was needed to portray the difficult character. Mitani admires Yamadera for he acts the role as if he were a boy who is naive and sensitive, though he is not so in reality.

Like The Three Musketeers, some voice actors play multiple roles in the show. Masashi Ebara voices Jim Moriarty, Godfrey Norton, Aloysius Garcia and Barnicot; and Yuko Sanpei voices Enoch Drebber, Helen Stoner and Henderson.

In "The Adventure of the Cheerful Four", actors Masachika Ichimura and Kenji Urai, who are famous for their appearance in musical theatre, voice some puppets.

Music and the opening theme
Kana Hiramatsu, a member of Spanish Connection is in charge of music. Nano, a singer who also likes the series Sherlock Holmes, performed and wrote the lyrics of the opening theme, "Scarlet Story", that deal with A Study in Scarlet. Nano tries to express the inner pains of Holmes who always searches for the truth.

The show is produced by using prescoring, and projection mapping is used in the title sequence that describes "The Adventure of the Dancing Men".

Playfulness
As well as Mitani's other works, playfulness is included in the show. For example, the episode based on The Sign of the Four is adapted into a musical play; each speckle on a snake that appears in "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" has the shape of crocus, the flower Holmes mentions in the original. Besides Holmes's violin is on the shelf for personal belongings near his bed. Some words and conversation in the series seem to reference the series, Sherlock.

title: Pineview (Roxobel, North Carolina)

text:
Pineview, also known as Browne House, is an historic plantation house located near Roxobel, Bertie County, North Carolina. It was built about 1838, and is a two-story, three bay, frame Federal style dwelling with a hall-and-parlor plan. An exterior dining room, built about 1868, was attached to the house in 1950. Also on the property are the contributing smokehouse (circa 1830), office (circa 1850), kitchen (circa 1790), and dairy (circa 1865).

The buildings are constructed in heavy timber framing.  The frames are created from large square cut, hewn beams and pegged together with round pegs in round holes to secure a solid, sturdy structure.  The buildings are sheathed in heart pine weatherboard, and most rooms retain their original lathe and plaster finishing.  The floors are "ship's lap" and are original throughout the 1830 main house.  The windows retain their original sashes and frames and approximately 75% of the original glass.

The smokehouse is a dovetailed split log building of large size.

The plantation cemetery is on the property and contains the remains of persons who have lived at Pineview, slave and free.

The main house and outbuildings were restored and stabilized in 2010 by Lambeth Construction  with the assistance and input of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources' office in Greenville, NC.
The property is now occupied by the seventh generation of the Browne family since it was constructed by Joshua Brown(e) circa 1838.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

title: Leonard Wright Colby

text:
Leonard Wright Colby (August 5, 1846 – November 18, 1924), who hailed from the U.S. state of Ohio, was a leader of the first Nebraska National Guard, American Indian Wars veteran, state senator of Nebraska and United States Assistant Attorney General. As a teenager, he fought in the American Civil War.  During his career, he commanded both Nebraska and U.S. troops. He served as commander of the Nebraska National Guard.

Family, education, and early military activities
Colby was born in Cherry Valley Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio in 1846. The fifth of seven children, his parents were Rowel and Abigail (Livingston) Colby. His parents were from Grafton County, New Hampshire. When he was about four years old his parents removed to a farm five miles from Freeport, Illinois.

As a teenager, he enlisted in the 8th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment and served the Union Army in the American Civil War. Wounded at the Battle of Fort Blakely in 1865, in almost the last battle of the Civil War, he was recommended for promotion and a commission for gallant and meritorious services in the charge at Fort Blakely and the siege of Mobile, Alabama, where he captured a Confederate flag; he was discharged that year. After his discharge from the Union army, in 1865, he with about fifty others from his regiment enlisted with the forces of Maximilian, serving with the rank of captain for several months, until his resignation, in December, 1865.

On his return home, he entered the high school at Freeport from which he graduated in July, 1867, with the highest honors. In the fall of the same year, he entered the University of Wisconsin, in the regular classical course, and he was graduated in June, 1871, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, again taking the highest honors of his class. He was graduated also from the military and engineering courses at the same institution, obtaining the degrees of Civil Engineer and Mechanical Engineer and the recommendation for a lieutenant's commission in the United States army. During the last two years of his college course, he was commissioned and served as captain of the university cadets at Madison, Wisconsin. Thereafter, he was graduated from the law department of the university, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws.

Career
Colby married Clara Dorothy Bewick in 1872 and they removed to Beatrice, Nebraska, living near Seventh and High streets. He opened a law office in Beatrice, being associated in business with Lynus B. Sale, a former college friend. In 1874, the University of Wisconsin conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts.

On June 25, 1875, he became associated with Alexander W. Conley in the organization of a company of state militia at Beatrice, and was commissioned first lieutenant of the company, which was designated as the Paddock Guards, in honor of United States Senator Algernon Paddock. In the summer of 1877, he was commissioned captain by the governor of Nebraska and placed in command of four companies of mounted rifles. He marched his battalion from Beatrice to Red Cloud, thence to northern Nebraska and Wyoming in pursuit of bands of marauding Native Americans. On his return, he was commissioned captain of the Paddock Guards, which command he held until June 13, 1881, when he was commissioned colonel of the First Regiment Nebraska National Guard. He had command of the Nebraska state troops and six companies of United States regulars during the labor strike in Omaha in March, 1882, at which time the city was placed under martial law; he was re-commissioned colonel July 10, 1884, and before the end of his term, on April 11, 1887, was promoted, by appointment and commission, to brigadier general and placed in command of the First Brigade, comprising two infantry regiments, a troop of cavalry, and a battery of artillery. On April 11, 1890, his commission as brigadier general was renewed for another term of three years.

During the winter of 1890–1891, Colby and his command were called into active service on the occasion of the uprising of the Sioux Indians of Pine Ridge and other agencies in South Dakota and Nebraska. The command took part with great credit in the engagement at Wounded Knee and many skirmishes along the borders of the Badlands, where the hostile forces were located, and won the congratulations of Major General Nelson A. Miles, who complimented Colby on his successful management of the Nebraska troops. On his return home, Colby was presented with a gold medal for "gallant and efficient services rendered the state of Nebraska." The fourth day after the battle of Wounded Knee, when the detail went out to bury the dead, a Lakota baby girl, about four months old, was found on the battlefield, tied, in the usual fashion, on her dead mother's back, and found under a covering of snow. Her head, hands, and feet were frozen in the severe storm that followed the battle, but she fully recovered. The child was taken by Colby to his home, was given the name of Margaret Elizabeth, and the Indian name of Zintkala Nuni (meaning in the Sioux language "Lost Bird") She was reared and educated at his home.

April 10, 1893, Colby was for the third time commissioned brigadier general of the Nebraska state troops, and in July of the following year his command was again called into active service, in the suppression of the strike at the packing houses in South Omaha, Nebraska, where order was restored without damage or casualty. In December, 1896, during the progress of the Cuban revolution against Spain, Colby commenced the organization of the American-Cuban Volunteer Legion, and in the following year, he completed the enrollment of 25,000 American volunteers, with headquarters at Matamoros, Mexico, and raised US$1,200,000 for the establishment of the Cuban republic. Upon the destruction of the battleship Maine, in Havana Harbor, he tendered the services of the Cuban Legion in the approaching Spanish–American War. Colby was commissioned June 3, 1898, by President McKinley, as brigadier general of United States Volunteers; he was first assigned to the command of the Third Brigade, First Division, Third Army Corps, stationed at Chickamauga Park, Georgia; for some weeks he had command of the First Division of the Third Army Corps, and was the ranking general in command at the time of the review at that camp. He was afterward given command of the Second Brigade, Second Division of the Fourth Army Corps, and was thereafter for some time in command of the camp and the division at Anniston, Alabama. In January, 1899, he was sent to Havana, Cuba, and upon his return to Washington, D.C. at the end of February of that year, he was mustered out of the service, with the rank of brigadier general of volunteers. Upon his return to Nebraska, Colby was appointed State adjutant general, which office he held from May 6, 1901, to February 20, 1903. On August 8, 1906, he was placed on the retired list, with the rank of brigadier general.

In November, 1876, General Colby was elected state senator to represent Gage and Jefferson counties, and in 1886 he was reelected to the state senate, to represent Gage county. During the latter term he introduced fifty bills of importance, of which about thirty passed the senate, and of the latter number more than half became laws. In June, 1891,  Colby was appointed by President Benjamin Harrison as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, his duties embracing, among other important litigation, the defense of claims for damages against the government and Indian tribes. These involved over ten thousand cases in the court of claims and the United States supreme court, and over US$40,000,000. Upon his retirement from the United States Department of Justice, he was employed by the Creeks, Cherokees, and Seminoles, three of the  tribes  in the Indian Territory, as their attorney in Washington, D.C., and during this employment he obtained a judgment against the government and in favor of the Cherokee Nation for US$6,742,000.
Since the declaration of World War I, Colby tendered his services to the United States and to the state of Nebraska, and requested to be recalled from the retired list into active service. He has been placed on the list of officers subject to call by the Department of War, and, having the personal assurance of Secretary of War Newton D. Baker that his services will be required in the near future, he has passed his physical examination for such service. In the meantime, he served as government agent and attorney for the draft board, as chairman of the Gage County Council of Defense, as a member of the War Works Committee, and took an active part in the campaigns for the several Liberty Loans, the Red Cross and Y.M.C.A. drives in the county and district. He also returned to practicing law in several states. From 1921 through 1924, he served as a Nebraska district judge.

Personal life

Colby married Clara Dorothy Bewick in 1872 and they removed to Beatrice, Nebraska where she founded, published, and edited The Woman’s Tribune, a suffragist newspaper. They adopted a boy, Clarence (born ca. 1882), in 1885 from an Orphan Train. In 1891, Colby returned home from the Wounded Knee with a Sioux baby, Zintkala Nuni ("Lost Bird"), whom he named Marguerite (or Margaret) Elizabeth and whom he adopted while his wife was away lecturing. A third child, Ada Mary, documented in Bewick family papers, was also adopted; she died when she was less than a year old. Colby and Clara divorced March 30, 1906. There were reports by historians that Colby abused Marguerite. On June 4, 1906, he married Marie ("Maud") H. Moller, his longtime mistress, after she had inherited US$250,000; they had one son, Paul Livingston Colby.

Colby had been a member of the Society of Foreign Wars, Loyal Legion, Grand Army of the Republic, Spanish-American War Veterans, the Blue Lodge and Royal Arch Masons, the Red Men, Knights of Pythias, Nebraska State Historical Society, Nebraska Pioneers, the Nebraska and American Bar Associations, the Republican Club, and the Christian church at Beatrice. He died in 1924, at Leavenworth, Kansas.

title: Mavenir Systems

text:
Mavenir Systems ( NYSE:MVNR ) was a software-based telecommunications networking provider based in Richardson, Texas that existed from 2005 to 2015. The company's software was aimed to deliver internet protocol (IP)-based voice, video, rich communications and enhanced messaging services to clients. Mavenir Systems provided service to approximately 120 mobile networks globally.

Origin
Mavenir Systems was founded in 2005, with Rashad Ali as the founder. Pardeep Kohli served as the company's president and CEO.

History
In December 2008, the company completed a funding round for $17.5 million. Another funding round for $13.5 million backed by Alloy Ventures, Austin Ventures and North Bridge Venture Partners was completed in June 2010. The company raised $40 million in a funding round backed by previous investors and Cross Creek Capital. The funding round brought the company's total funding to $105 million. Mavenir Systems placed first on the Metroplex Technology Business Council's Fast Tech list in 2010 with a 479.6 percent growth. Mavenir Systems placed second on the Fast Tech list the following year. In May 2011, Mavenir Systems acquired Airwide Solutions, a Massachusetts-based mobile messaging and wireless internet infrastructure company.

Mavenir Systems provided VoLTE service to MetroPCS in 2012. The company partnered with Radisys in February 2013 on VoLTE deployments in Europe and the United States. 4G Americas, a wireless industry trade association, elected Mavenir Systems to its Board of Governors in April 2013. The company opened a user experience center in Zagreb, Croatia in April 2013. The center intended to demonstrate and bring new offerings for VoWi-Fi, VoLTE and rich communication services (RCS) to the market.

In November 2013, Mavenir Systems became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. The company priced its shares at $10 and raised approximately $44.5 million in the initial public offering. Mavenir Systems provided T-Hrvatski Telekom, Croatia's largest telecommunications company with its IMS WebRTC gateway in February 2014. The gateway furthered T-Hrvatski Telekom's Terastream project, a simplified service delivery model. In May, Mavenir Systems released a mobile voice and messaging client software for handsets and tablets. The software was aimed to allow mobile operators to differentiate their Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) and Rich Communication Services (RCS).

The company began developing a VoWiFi mobile app for 3UK on HockeyApp, a service to develop and test mobile apps, in June 2014. The mobile app was intended to provide 3UK subscribers with the ability to make calls and send text messages when out of cellular coverage (VoWiFi). In July 2014, T-Mobile launched its VoLTE service with an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) voice solution developed by Mavenir Systems. T-Mobile was the first major provider to launch VoLTE according to Converge Network Digest.

In November 2014, Mavenir Systems acquired Stoke, a mobile and security gateway company. On January 13, 2015, Mavenir Systems acquired Ulticom Inc, a signaling solutions software provider, for $20 million.

End
In March 2015, Mitel announced to buy Mavenir Systems for $560 million; the acquisition became effective the following month.  Thus the first incarnation of Mavenir came to an end.

Two years later, as the result of the merger of established company Xura with the Mavenir Systems part of Mitel and the startup Ranzure, a new company named Mavenir was formed.

The Chinese  was developed under the influences of the  worn by the  and by the  (including the Xianbei). Depending on time period, the Chinese  also had some traces of influences from the  worn by the Sogdian. The Chinese  continued to evolve, developing distinctive Chinese characteristics with time and lost its  connotation. It eventually became fully integrated in the  system for the imperial and court dress attire. Under the influence of ancient China, the Chinese  was adopted by the rest of the East Asian cultural sphere.

History

China

The appearance of  collars in , including those used in the round collar robe, occurred during the Eastern Han dynasty where clothing with round collars started to be used as an inner garment under the  of the .

Later on, the clothing customs of the Chinese were further influenced by the -style clothing with round collars and narrow sleeves used in the  of the  (including the  people) during the Six dynasties period, when clothing with  collar started to be worn as an outer-garment and could be used as a form of formal clothing.

Korea
In Korea, round collared hanbok was worn with roots in hobok and Goguryeo murals show that it was worn often as an inner garment. The official court uniform called danryeong was introduced from Tang dynasty by Kim Chun-chu in the second year of Queen Jindeok's rule.  Since then, it has been worn as an official outfit for government officials until the end of Joseon. It originated from the Chinese' round collar robe. At first, the danryeong collar was circular, similar to the Chinese round collar robe but later localized into a uniquely Korean U-shaped collar also seen in the Won-sam.

Danryeong is used as a type of Gwanbok. Sometimes it is worn together with the dapho.

In late Joseon, under the 1884 decree of King Gojong, only black-coloured danryeong were permitted to be worn by court officials.

title: Volvo B13R

text:
Volvo B13R is a 12.8-litre engined coach chassis available as both two- and tri-axle from Volvo since 2009. It was the first of the Volvo BXXR series, replacing the higher output configurations of the B12B. It was later joined by the B11R, which has the same base chassis but a smaller engine. However, because Volvo decided not to upgrade the D13 engine to comply with the Euro 6 emission requirements, it was replaced by the B11R in the European market, but is still available at other markets, like Mexico. The B13R is easy recognisable as being the only modern Volvo coach chassis with air intakes on the right-hand side.

After launch in 2009 it soon became the default choice of chassis for Volvo's 9700 and 9900 coaches, as only the 340 hp configuration of the B12B was compatible with the Euro V requirements. The lowest configuration of the 9700; the 9700S, was not compatible with the B13R, as the engine was so tall that it would conflict with the internal floor.

Over 190 were sold in the United Kingdom, with Park's of Hamilton purchasing 32. Australian interstate operator Greyhound Australia purchased 30. The tri-axle version of the B13R is known in the UK as the B13RT.

Volvo later reintroduced the B13R chassis, on 30 June 2022, featuring Euro VI-compliant D13K engines. It is also part of the refreshed fourth-generation Volvo 9700 and 9900 coaches in European markets (replacing B11R) and Volvo 9800 coach in Mexico (replacing previous B13R model) and, like their predecessors, is also available in "LE" configurations for double-decker coaches.

title: Panaque titan

text:
Panaque titan is a species of freshwater fish from the South American armoured catfish family Loricariidae. It is known from several rivers in the Napo River basin in Ecuador, where it was perhaps first encountered in 1975, although it was not scientifically described until 2010. The species reaches at least 39.4 cm (15.5 inches) SL.

In the aquarium trade, there have been thought to be two forms of fish that resemble P. titan; Panaque sp. L191 from the Caquetá River in Colombia and Panaque sp. L418 from the Huallaga River in Peru.

As of May 2022, L-418 is the L-number currently associated with this species, whereas L-191 corresponds with a different, seemingly undescribed Panaque species.

title: Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing

text:
Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing (also known as JJC Racing) is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The team is based in Mooresville, North Carolina and is owned by Jennifer Jo Cobb, who also serves as the team's primary driver.

The team runs on one of the smaller budgets in the Truck Series, one that Cobb estimated in 2018 at between $750,000 and $1 million USD.

Camping World Truck Series

Truck No. 0 history

The No. 0 team has been used primarily as a start and park team by multiple drivers, primarily young rookies. On two occasions the truck has been run by Joe Cobb, Jennifer's father. Both entries occurred at the Mudsummer Classic.

For 2014, Caleb Roark ran with the team, typically running the first few laps before retiring to the garage. Roark would do the same thing in 2015, though Scott Lagasse Jr. placed 15th at Homestead in the truck, being the last truck on the lead lap in a fully sponsored entry.

The No. 0 team was revived in 2017 at Texas Motor Speedway in June, as the field had less than 32 trucks. The truck was driven by Tommy Regan. The 0 returned for Bryce Napier at Gateway, while Cobb failed to qualify the 0 at Iowa. After skipping Kentucky, the No. 0 returned at Eldora with Korbin Forrister driving in a partnership between Cobb's team and SS-Green Light Racing. The team ran Pocono with Matt Mills as the driver. ARCA driver Ray Ciccarelli drove the No. 0 at Michigan after making his debut at Eldora in the No. 10. He would later attempt four more races for the team in that truck for the rest of the year at New Hampshire and then the last three races of the season at Texas, Phoenix, and Homestead.

Truck No. 1 history

In 2016, after several DNQ's early in the season, JJCR formed a partnership with MAKE Motorsports which saw Cobb move from her No. 10 to MAKE's No. 1 to put her in a better position to qualify for races with the large entry lists the Truck Series saw that year. In the No. 1, Cobb attempted 11 races, earning a best finish of 17th at Michigan International Speedway. She still failed to make the field in one race (Talladega). Cobb ran all but three races for the rest of the year in the No. 1. Those three where she was not in it were the Bristol night race, where Clay Greenfield drove the truck instead in a partnership between his own team, Cobb's, and MAKE's, Martinsville in October, where she stepped out of the truck that weekend to allow ARCA driver Josh White to make his Truck debut that weekend, and the season-finale at Homestead, when Cobb was back in the No. 10 and Travis Kvapil drove the No. 1.

Truck No. 8 history
For the second race at Martinsville Speedway in the 2012 season, Cobb formed a partnership with Eddie Sharp Racing. She ran under her traditional Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing banner with Ram as the manufacturer. She finished in 34th, completing 95 laps, and retiring due to suspension issues. Chris Lafferty occupied her usual No. 10 truck.

Truck No. 10 history

In 2010 Jennifer Jo Cobb announced that she had bought the assets of the No. 10 truck from Circle Bar Racing and would run the full season. The team made their debut at the 2010 NextEra Energy Resources 250 where they finished a disappointing 34th after being involved in a first lap crash. Cobb's team would however make every race that season with a best finish of 14th on two separate occasions. At the end of the season, Cobb would finish a record 17th in the points, a highest at the time by any woman in a top tier NASCAR series.

For the 2011 season the team only made 12 of the 25 races on the schedule due to Cobb's involvement in the Nationwide Series. The teams' best finish was 6th in the season opening race at Daytona and is to date the team's only top ten finish. Also during the season the points for the No. 10 truck had been given to Chase Mattioli and his race team.

In 2012 the team entered every race on the schedule making 15 of the scheduled 22 races. However, during the season the team faced numerous mechanical failures and only managed a season best finish of 16th at Kentucky. The No. 10 saw a major drop in team performance as they finished the season with an average finish of 27.5.

2013 saw much of the same for the team as they ended the season with an average finish of 27.6 and making just 16 of the 22 races. The team also team also suffered 6 engine failures during the season and 4 additional DNF's for a total of 10, a career high. Cobb managed a season best finish of 17th at her hometown track of Kansas with sponsorship from Mark One Electric.

2014 saw a major improvement in performance by the team. Cobb only failed to qualify for one race on the schedule, the Mudsummer Classic. In addition the team suffered just 2 DNF's and garnered an average finish of 23rd.

2015 was another season of improvement for Cobb and her No. 10 team. They qualified for every single race for the first time and has compiled an average start of 26.1 along with an average finish of 23.4. In addition, Cobb made her 100th Truck Series start at the 2015 WinStar World Casino & Resort 400.

In 2016, the truck had a drop in performance, which can be attributed to the large field sizes the series saw that year. After Texas in June, Cobb switched to the No. 1 MAKE Motorsports truck in a partnership between her team and theirs, and the No. 10 was used mostly as a start and park truck for Caleb Roark and other drivers instead of the No. 0. In 23 races, the No. 10 truck had 9 DNQs, 9 DNFs, and a best finish of 24th twice (Kentucky and Kansas).

In 2017, the 10 team ran most of the races, most of them being with Cobb. Ray Ciccarelli ran two races and Bryce Napier ran at Iowa. The team’s best finish was 18th twice, at Las Vegas and Pocono, with Cobb.

In 2018, Cobb ran the full schedule, only failing to qualify twice, at Eldora and Bristol. Her best finish was an 11th-place at Talladega.

In 2022, after failing to qualify for the NextEra Energy 250, Cobb announced the team would scale back to a part-time effort and only compete in races where a full-funded effort could be made. Cobb made her appearance at Talladega, where she finished 32nd, after a clutch failure on lap 73.

Xfinity Series

Cobb's team made their debut in what is now the Xfinity Series in 2010, fielding the No. 13 Ford at Cobb's home track of Kansas. She barely qualified for the race, starting last and finishing 34th in the race. Their first race in 2011 was at the Royal Purple 200 at Darlington, where Cobb finished 32nd after starting 42nd. The team would struggle much of the season and Cobb would turn over driving duties to more experienced drivers Rick Crawford at Chicagoland and D. J. Kennington at Montreal.

Cobb decided to focus on her Truck Series team in 2012, and she returned to that series to race full-time in it with her own team that year. Therefore, she would only make four Nationwide Series attempts in 2012. The team's best finish would come during that season during the Kansas Lottery 300 where Cobb would finish 22nd.

In 2015, JJCR fielded the No. 10 car in her hometown race at the Kansas Speedway. The No. 13 had been taken by MBM Motorsports when Cobb didn't field her Xfinity team in 2013 and 2014. However, the No. 10, Cobb's truck series number, which was previously used by TriStar Motorsports earlier in the year, was available, so she used that number. The No. 10 was the car number dropped by the TriStar team when they started using the No. 24 after Eric McClure moved from JGL Racing to TriStar mid-season, keeping his same car number when switching teams.

title: Le livre des mille nuits et une nuit

text:
Le livre des mille nuits et une nuit (English: The Book of One Thousand and One Nights) is a 12-volume French translation of One Thousand and One Nights by J. C. Mardrus. The volumes, 298×228 mm each, were published in 1926–1932 by the Paris publisher L'Edition d'Art H. Piazza. With Morocco leather covers, the book sides were decorated with a gilt-stamped panel with oriental design different for each volume. The volumes were also decorated with gilt fleurons, triple gilt fillet and blind-stamped filet on the inside, as well as red watered silk endleaves.

The volumes feature the illustrations of the French artist Léon Carré and the cover art by Mohammed Racim, with binding work by René Aussourd. Racim spent eight years designing the cover art for the volumes. The volumes also contain the illustrated titles of each tale in Arabic on separate pages, following their French titles. The print run consists of 2,500 numbered copies. Soviet and Russian scholar Isaak Filshtinsky, however, considered Mardrus' translation inferior to others due to presence of chunks of text, which Mardrus conceived himself to satisfy tastes of his time.

title: Charles Best (British Army officer)

text:
Charles Best (also Carl Conrad Best; February 1765 in Hannover – 5 December 1836 in Verden) was a British army officer of Hanoverian descent who served in the armies of the East India Company, Britain and Hanover from 1781 until the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

Biography
Best commenced his military career in 1781, as a cadet in the 2nd, or Duke of York's (Prince Frederick's) Hanoverian Regiment of Infantry Two Hanoverian regiments of foot being raised for the service of the East India Company, styled the 14th and 15th regiments, this officer was appointed, June, 1781, ensign in the former.

On his arrival at Madras, Charles Best took the field with a detachment of the two above-mentioned corps, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wangenheim, and joined the British army under Major-General Stuart, then before Cuddalore, in the beginning of June, 1783. He was present at the battle of Cuddalore, 13 June, and severely wounded: he returned to Madras in July of that year, with the sick and wounded, and was promoted to a 2nd lieutenant 24 July 1784. Lieutenant Best continued in India during the peace, in different garrisons, and until the period when the service of his corps expired.

The 15th Regiment was sent home in 1791, and disbanded; the 14th was sent home in 1792, and remained on the strength of the Hanoverian Army. In 1793, it was appointed a light infantry regiment and Lieutenant Best nominated 1st lieutenant to one of the rifle companies. He joined the British and Hanoverian army, under the command of Frederick, Duke of York, in April, 1794, in Flanders; he was present at the battle of Mouscron (25 April 1794), when the French army under General Pichegru, invaded Flanders. The allies retreated, fighting, to Courtray, which place being soon after taken by the French, Lieutenant Best had a narrow escape of being made prisoner. He was engaged at the battles of 18 and 22 May 1794; and also at the battle of Rouselaer and Hooglede (13 June). He was promoted to a company 24 July 1794. Captain Best was present at most of the out-post affairs on the rivers Dommel and Aa, as well as other skirmishes, retreating upon the Meuse, and passing through Grave to the Waal: he was engaged in some skirmishes with the enemy near fort St. Andree. In October 1794, he was engaged in an out-post fight with the enemy before Nijmegen, by which the troops of the allies were thrown into that place in the following month. The French made their approaches to Nijmegen, which they besieged; several sallies were made, and several skirmishes took place, at which Captain Best was present. The allies having evacuated Nijmegen, took up a position behind the Waal. Captain Best was present at an affair in December, near Raudwyk, when a party of the enemy had passed the Waal, and surprised a detachment guarding a strong battery in the night; but which was retaken by the allies. He was next present at a battle near Donawert (10 June 1795), when the French succeeded in crossing the Waal, on the ice: the allies retreated to the Rhine, and a severe skirmish took place at Velp, near Arnhem, in the same month. They afterwards retreated towards Zutphen, and thence to Münster, in Germany. Captain Best was engaged in two severe actions, post affairs, in February 1705, at Gronde: at first the allies drove the enemy back to Enschede, in the Netherlands; at the second they were obliged to retreat, and take up a position behind the Ems, where several skirmishes took place; the British Army retreating towards Bremen, where they were embarked for England.

The Prussians having made a separate peace with France in April, 1795, the Hanoverians also retreated, but remained in Münster and Osnabrück to the end of the year, and returned to Hanover in December 1795. In 1796, the Prussians and Hanoverians drew up a line of observation, or neutrality, and the regiment to which Captain Best belonged was among the troops employed on this service.

In 1803, when the Electorate of Hanover was taken possession of by the French, and most of the military re-assembled under the British banners, this officer was gazetted brigadier-major to the Kings German Legion (KGL), 15 September 1804; and in February following, appointed to a majority in the 2nd Light Infantry Battalion He embarked in September 1805, for Germany, under the orders of Major-General George Don, and afterwards under Lord Cathcart; he disembarked in the Elbe river in November, and re-embarked in February 1806, at Cuxhaven, after the battle of Austerlitz, and was sent to Ireland, where he remained until May, 1807, when he embarked with the 2nd Light Battalion at Monkstown, and sailed for England.

Major Best took the command of the 2nd Light Battalion and sailed with a large fleet from the Downs, in the beginning of July, 1807, for the Baltic; he disembarked at the Isle of liugen, then belonging to the Swedes, and re-embarked the beginning of August on account of the peace. He next sailed with the expedition for Zealand, and landed in Kioge Bay: he commanded a detachment of the troops that marched for Copenhagen, and on 26 August drove in the out-post, and took possession of part of the suburbs of that city, which afterwards greatly facilitated the operations of the besieging army. For this service Major Best received a flattering encomium, as well as Major Halkett, who was under his command, in the division orders of Lieutenant-General Sir David Baird. Major Best was present and assisted in the whole of the siege of Copenhagen, and afterwards received the thanks of Parliament, along with the army, as commanding officer of the 2nd light Battalion.

Major Best returned in November 1807, to England, and embarked at Ramsgate at the end of April, 1808, under the orders of Lieutenant-General Sir John Moore, and sailed for the Baltic in May; and thence accompanied Sir John to the Iberian Peninsula: he was with the army in the advance into, and retreat through Spain.

In July, 1809, he embarked with the British troops, under the command of Lord Chatham, and sailed at the end of that month for the Scheldt (on the Walcheren Campaign); he assisted at the siege of Flushing, which surrendered 1 August; he then went to the opposite island, Sud Beveland, and returned to Walcheren the beginning of September.

Best received the rank of lieutenant-colonel, by brevet, 1 January 1812, and was appointed, 19 May 1812 lieutenant-colonel of the 8th Line Battalion KGL, then in Sicily. In March, 1814, he was sent with a detachment to Hanover, and appointed colonel in the Hanoverian service (16 March). He received the command of a brigade, consisting of four battalions of Hanoverian Landwehr (militia) and marched: for Brabant and Flanders in August 1814, and was stationed at Bruges in Flanders until Napoleon Bonaparte landed in France in 1815.

Best was then ordered with his brigade to Ypres, and took the command of the troops in that place, as well as that of the fortress, until the beginning of May, when a governor was appointed, to whom he delivered the command, and marched with his brigade, (the 4th Hanoverians) to Brussels; being brigaded to the 5th Division of the army under the Duke of Wellington. Having received, on the night of 15 June, an order to march with the Scotch brigade, Colonel Best left Brussels at day-break on 16 June, and at about 15:00 of that day was engaged with the enemy under Marshal Ney in the Battle of Quatre Bras. One of the battalions of Colonel Best's brigade was engaged the whole day, and had an opportunity of distinguishing itself: and another battalion, the Landwehr Battalion Lüneburg under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Ludwig Heinrich Philipp von Ramdohr, by its well-directed fire and steadiness, destroyed a charge of the French Cuirassiers.

On 18 June at the Battle of Waterloo, the brigade under Colonel Best's command was warmly engaged, and received Major-General Sir Kempt's approbation, to whom the command of the 5th Division was given, after its general, Sir Thomas Picton, was killed. Colonel Best returned to Hanover with the brigade in December 1815, and was nominated a Knight Commander of the Hanoverian Guelphic Order. On 14 September 1816, he was appointed colonel and proprietor of the Hanoverian Infantry Regiment Celte, and 14 September 1816, major-general in that service.

Family
In 1823, Charles Best married Louisa, only daughter of Captain Roberson (by then deceased), formally of the Hanoverian 2nd Light Battalion.

title: Robert Chow

text:
Robert Chow Yung (; born 22 April 1950), BBS, is a Hong Kong journalist and media personality who is a former RTHK radio host. He is currently the spokesman of the pro-Beijing conservative Alliance for Peace and Democracy and founder and leader of the Beijing-approved Silent Majority for Hong Kong movement.

Early life
Chow studied up to the Form Five level of school education.

In 1967, at the age of 17, Chow started his career as a reporter for the now-defunct local tabloid The Star where his senior colleague Kevin Sinclair described him as a "mere boy". In 1970, he was made a news editor at The Star.

Media and communications career
In 1974, Chow started working in the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and became chief information officer in 1980.

In 1985, he became the editor-in-chief of The Standard, and worked there until the 1990s.

Chow began to attract attention from the Hong Kong media when he was appointed as a programme-host in RTHK in 1999, and was awarded the Bronze Bauhinia Star by the Hong Kong Government in 2006 for his contributions to public and community service, especially in the media sector. He was asked to leave RTHK in 2011 together with Ng Chi Sum, another media personality.

Political activism

Silent Majority for Hong Kong
In August 2013, Chow founded the Silent Majority for Hong Kong organisation as a focus of opposition to the Occupy Central democratic movement and is the organisation's leader.

The Anti-Occupy Central Parade
In July 2014, Chow, as the Spokesperson of the Alliance for Peace and Democracy, was accused of offering people free meals and other treats in an attempt to boost the turnout of the Anti-Occupy Central Parade. "We want to tell the world that there is another voice in Hong Kong, other than just that of the Occupy Central protesters," Chow said. "Some people may not like the government policies … but most still want peace and harmony. They don't want to see violence, chaos and turmoil." He also maintained that it was acceptable to distribute lunch boxes to groups joining the parade as a token of gratitude.

British right of abode
In 2014, Chow was found to be in possession of right of abode in the United Kingdom, though he held no British passport. Some considered this in conflict with his frequent claims of being a patriotic Chinese citizen. He initially stated that it was not possible to voluntarily renounce the right of abode, acquired in the 1990s as part of the British Nationality Selection Scheme, but later backtracked, saying that he was working with a lawyer to abandon it.

"White terror" tactics
In September 2014, Chow announced that his organisation had set up a telephone hotline for informants to report the names of schools permitting students to be absent from class during the Occupy Central protests. It was widely condemned by the public of Hong Kong and portrayed as white terror, a persecution tactic similar to those employed by the Kuomintang in Taiwan, including asking people to betray their close friends or family members.
