title: Umbonium callosum

text:
Umbonium callosum is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

Description
The height of the shell attains 8 mm, its diameter 13 mm. The solid shell has a depressed shape. Its outer lip is thin. The color pattern is white or yellowish, finely marbled all over with black, gray or ashen, sometimes with a series of white blotches at the periphery. The basal callus is white, yellow, reddish or black. The smooth surface is polished. The low spire is conical and acute. The 6 to 7 whorls are slightly convex. They are separated by simple, linear sutures. The body whorl widens very rapidly. It is large, dilated, flat on the base, except for the large circular callus, which is excessively heavy and convex. The aperture is oval-truncate.

The last whorl is very wide, and the umbilical callus far heavier, more convex, than in any other known species of this genus.

Distribution
This species occurs in the Indian Ocean.

title: Unmanned aircraft system simulation

text:
Unmanned aircraft system simulation focuses on training pilots (or operators) to control an unmanned aircraft or its payload from a control station.  Flight simulation involves a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies for pilot training, design, or other purposes. It includes replicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, how they react to applications of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems, and how the aircraft reacts to external factors such as air density, turbulence, wind shear, cloud, precipitation, etc.

Manned simulation is used for a variety of reasons, including flight training (mainly of pilots), the design and development of the aircraft itself, and research into aircraft characteristics and control handling qualities. Unlike manned simulation, unmanned aircraft system (UAS) simulation does not involve a pilot aboard the training device.

Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Simulation Training

Manned flight simulators employ various types of hardware and software, depending on the modeling detail and realism that is required for the role in which they are to be employed. Designs range from PC laptop-based models of aircraft systems (called Part Task Trainers or PTTs), to replica cockpits for initial familiarization, to highly realistic simulations of the cockpit, flight controls and aircraft systems for more complete pilot training.

The use of unmanned systems by defense forces globally has grown substantially over the past decade, and is only expected to continue to grow significantly. In addition, unmanned systems will be used increasingly for commercial applications such as remote inspection of pipelines and hydroelectric installations, surveillance of forest fires, observation of critical natural resources, assessing natural disasters and a range of other applications. This increase in the use of UAS capabilities results in the need to have more highly skilled UAS pilots, sensor operators, and mission commanders.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone and referred to as a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. The typical launch and recovery method of an unmanned aircraft is by the function of an automatic system or an external operator on the ground. Historically, UAVs were simple remotely piloted aircraft, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed.
A UAS is composed of the UAV, itself, as well as associated launch, recovery, and control hardware and software.

UAVs are usually deployed for military and special operation applications, but are also used in a small but growing number of civil applications, such as policing and firefighting, and nonmilitary security work such as surveillance of pipelines. UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for manned aircraft.

UAS Simulation Training allows UAV operators to train in real-time to operate UAVs in a virtual environment that is realistic and accurate, but without the risks and constraints of a real flight. UAS simulation includes:

 Simulated UAVS: The system allows training on both helicopter and fixed wing UAVs.
 Training with the actual ground station: The system uses real data generated by the actual UAV autopilot to provide an extremely realistic simulation.
 The virtual world in which the UAV flies is modeled in 3D with photo textures, and contains all the necessary features to simulate a mission in operational conditions.
 Payload simulation: The system generates real-time video to simulate the payload output in both visible and IR modes. This video is piped to the actual video station as in the real system.
 Simulation features: Multilingual interface, VCR type controls (replay forward / backward), Simulated weather functions, display options (flight panel, UAV trajectory), display of telemetry data.

UAS Simulation Training combines an open architecture with commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and simulation software that helps the use of proprietary designs to provide a comprehensive, platform-agnostic training system. Customers benefit from greater flexibility for evolution, networking, distributed mission training and combination within an integrated training environment. UAS is a solution that optimizes operational readiness while minimizing the use of live assets to train and prepare the integrated mission team for operations. The comprehensive solution also prepares the integrated mission team (pilot, payload specialist, and commanding officer) in platform operating procedures, data interpretation and analysis, and team interaction.

UAS Training in the United States Armed Forces

Potential Air Force UAS pilots and sensor operators attend three and a half months of specialized training courses, most of which is simulated. In simulated training for the Predator, operators use a manual control stick, rudder system and monitor system that is the same as the live simulator. The Air Force's primary UAS training bases are at Holloman Air Force Base, NM, Cannon AFB, NM, Ellsworth AFB, SD, and Whiteman AFB, MO, but will take initial flight training in Pueblo, CO.

Army soldiers receive training on smaller, easier to maneuver UAS, such as the Raven and Puma, from master trainers. Master trainers are selected from bases around the world and are given instruction at Ft. Benning, GA. These master trainers then train units at their home base. Army operators for larger UAS, such as the Shadow and Gray Eagle, conduct training in Fort Huachuca, AZ because of its remote location. These operators are UAS fight specialist for a single specific model. This is due to the different capabilities and functions of each air craft. Training is a combination of live and simulated training to teach new operators. Training is easily simulated because it is almost the same experience as live training in the aircraft that is operated by a Ground Control Station (GCS).

The standard for the Navy was to use pilots who have completed at least one piloting tour before allowing training in operating a UAS. With the advancement and economy of simulators, the Navy is beginning to train enlisted personnel with flight experience to become operators. Capt. Patrick Smith, a Fire Scout program manager was quoted to state, “Ideally, we take [potential operators] from the SH-60 SeaHawk community and add them to the five-week program, mainly simulator-based."  The Navy conducts UAS training in Ft. Huachuca, AZ for live simulation or military installations near Patuxent River, MD for the Fire Scouts.

In 2014, Marines that complete the Basic School Officer course in Quantico, VA, will have taken training in small UAS (Raven and Puma). UAS are not widely used in the Marines, but as the UAS become smaller and more mobile, they will become more integrated in mission resources. Marines recently started to receive training from the Group I (under 20 pounds) UAS Training and Logistics Support Activity in Camp Lejeune, NC.

UAS in inventory for each branch of service:

 Air Force: MQ-1 Predator, MQ-9 Reaper, and RQ-4 Global Hawk.
 Army: RQ-11 Raven, RQ-7 Shadow, RQ-5 Hunter, MQ-1C Gray Eagle and RQ-20 Puma.
 Navy: BAMS, Firescout/VTUAV, STUAS, Scan Eagle, and UCASS UAS. The UCASS was scheduled to be replaced by the UCLASS in fiscal year 2015.
 Marine Corps: RQ-7 Shadow and STUAS.

UAS Training in Domestic/Civil Sectors

Firefighters, police, miners, and weather researchers are now using UAVs (commonly referred to as drones), which were first used in military sectors. The drones used by police and firefighters are the same type of drones; however, they are used for different purposes. UAVs have gone beyond the human capacity of lifting heavy loads, performing daring photography amidst a heavy storm, and digitizing images that can be converted into 3D maps.

Weather researchers use different drones to help predict weather, photograph storms and measure temperature. Drones are very essential for weather crews in predicting wind speed and temperature, wind direction, air temperature and pressure (Aerosonde Mark 4). Other drones are used for taking images of storm systems, even inside the storm itself. Like the Mark 4, NASA's Global Hawk is used to measure air temperature, wind speed, and pressure, but unlike the Mark 4, it can take images of the storm system.

In mining, drones help miners with tasks such as inspection and maintenance, carrying heavy equipment, and even carrying out tasks 24 hours a day/7 days a week.  The mining industry uses drones such as Responder and Serenity to assist mining crews with maintenance, inspection, and imagery.  Some drones within the mining industry assist workers with photography of the sediments to be mined so it can be calculated in terms of volume for removal and the stockpile of sediment graded by workers.

In police forces, drones are used for bomb detonation, response to incidents, pursuing criminals in the air, and determining a suspect's location using high tech camera systems (Viking 400-S). Other uses for drones in police sectors are to record incidents, create maps of the incidents in 3D models, and then later send them to officers’ smart phones (Sensefly eBee). Other drones, such as the Kaman drop supplies and equipment for officers, as well as transport officers to and back from the crime scene. The E300 is used to stop criminals and record an incident.

Firefighters use the same drones, but for different purposes. For example, ELIMCO's E300 is used to put out fires, the Viking 400-S uses a camera to photograph incidents, then later transmits the images back to firefighting personnel for mapping the incidents electronically. The Information Processing Systems’ MCV, like the E300 is used for putting out wildfires and man-made fires. The eBee, like its police variant takes photographs with a 16 MP camera, which is used to create 3D models of maps through integrating technology from Google Maps. It is later sent to firefighting personnel smart phones. The Kaman, like its police variant, is used to supply firefighters and victims of fires, and to provide medical assistance. The Defikopter sends defibrillators to victims of heart attack. To locate a victim, it uses a GPS system.

UAS Training in Higher Education

There are two primary roles or purposes for UAS in higher education:

 Training and certification of UAS operators
 UAS-related research

Specific UAS Applications by School

At the University of North Dakota (UND) Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics program, simulators are used for both operator certification and research purposes. For operator certification, UND uses Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) simulators specific to a particular vehicle (e.g., ScanEagle, MQ-8, etc.). Actual qualification training is on hold until the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) puts standards in place for the use of UAS in United States airspace. However, students can learn basic operation principles and how UAS will function in national airspace. UND also conducts research funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory on task loading of UAS operators. This research compares single operators versus multi-operator crews and full auto-piloted systems versus remotely piloted systems.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL uses simulators in an undergraduate UAS operator program awarding a Bachelor of Science degree in Unmanned Aircraft Systems Science. Primarily, this program trains UAS operators, but it also serves a research role to test the application of UAS in national airspace.

Several other schools offer non-engineering based UAS undergraduate programs, of which simulators are an integral part. Some examples include:

 Indiana State University: Minor in Unmanned Systems
 Kansas State University – Salina: Bachelor of Science in Unmanned Aircraft Systems
 Oklahoma State University: UAS option for MS or PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Agent based Modeling and Simulation of UAS

UAV Simulators generally focus on low-level flight control and coordination by using complex physics-based models that are geared towards accuracy. These simulators requires domain expertise and complex knowledge to build, learn and operate the simulator itself. Alternate simulators are being developed such as Agent Based Modeling and Simulation for UAS, especially by military.

Agent based modeling and simulation of UAV focuses on specialized issues such as coordination and planning. For example, the CoUAV. simulator focuses on cooperative search and MAS-Planes focuses on request servicing by decentralized coordination. Agent based simulation has also been used for UAV flight dynamic simulation modeling.

Agent based modeling and simulation has been used for managing missions for UAS. The authors used Codarra Avatar for their experiments. Codarra Avatar is a lightweight UAV which has been specifically built for small-scale reconnaissance and surveillance missions. This UAV can be assembled and disassembled very quickly and transported in a backpack. However, in becoming an autonomous UAV, the Codarra Avatar faces challenges of flight time, flight range, durability, limited computational power, limited sensory data, and flight regulations and restrictions. The authors developed Agent-Flight Control System Architecture (FCS) to combat the issues faced with the UAV.

FCS has an agent that sits at the top of a control tree, receives data at regular intervals, and issues high level waypoint commands. The agent is designed in JACK, an agent-oriented programming language. The behavior of agents defined using JACK are structured around the BDI (Belief, Desire, Intentions) theory of agency. The mission Management System is designed using the OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) Approach that was developed by Colonel John Boyd. Authors conducted successful tests in Melbourne, Australia, using an FCS Architecture on the Codarra Avatar UAV.

title: Mount Xianglu

text:
Mount Xianglu () is a mountain near Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China. Its summit has an elevation of .

History
Its historic name was Mount Kuaiji (), formerly romanized as Mount K'uai-chi It was an important site for ancient China's Yue civilization and was legendarily connected with the Xia dynasty's Yu the Great, who was said to have convened a gathering of his nobles there and to have died at the spot during a hunting trip. The mountain continued to preserve the Old Yue language even after its conquest by Qin in 222 BC. It gave its name to the Kuaiji Mountains to its south, as well as China's former Kuaiji Commandery and (by extension) historical names for Suzhou and Shaoxing. It was also the site of the AD 353 Orchid Pavilion Gathering which produced the Lantingji Xu.

The present site of Yu's mausoleum to the north of the peak dates to the 6th century, but sacrifice in his honor has occurred in the area since at least the reign of Shi Huangdi and it featured in Sima Qian's pilgrimage around the historical sites of China prior to his composition of the Records of the Grand Historian.

title: Mustafa al-Khalidi

text:
Mustafa al-Khalidi (Arabic: مصطفى الخالدي) was a Palestinian politician and member of the prominent Khalidi family. Between 1938 and 1944 he became the last Palestinian-Arab mayor of Jerusalem (including West Jerusalem) who held this position coupled with real authority.

Career
Khalidi was well educated and before his involvement in politics had a career as a judge. In response to rumours of Haifa mayor Hasan Bey Shukri's perceived collaboration with Zionism, Khalidi said to Daniel Auster: "We must recognise the facts; the Zionists have migrated to this country, become citizens, have become Palestinians, and they cannot be thrown into the sea. Likewise, some of them have bought land and received deeds in exchange for money and we must recognise them. There is no point in closing our eyes about such things." Nonetheless, he was opposed to mass Jewish immigration, but was amenable to accepting limited numbers.

title: The New Press

text:
The New Press is an independent non-profit public-interest book publisher established in 1992 by André Schiffrin (Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur) and Diane Wachtell, publishing many books with a left-wing political viewpoint.

Details
In 1990 André Schiffrin resigned as editor-in-chief of Pantheon Books and within two years raised enough money to launch the New Press, with former Pantheon editor Diane Wachtell. Many of Schiffrin's authors from Pantheon, including Studs Terkel, left to join him.

The New Press is a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is to publish books that "promote and enrich public discussion and understanding of the issues vital to our democracy and to a more equitable world." Schiffrin compared The New Press's role to that of public television, radio, and university presses, focusing it on books with riskier subjects; many New Press books have promoted social activism and liberal causes, which Calvin Reid of Publishers Weekly has characterized as the publisher's main mission. The New Press's business model combines publishing revenue with philanthropic grants, and it has long focused on academic partnerships as well as staff and author diversity, running an intern program aimed at attracting candidates from minority ethnic backgrounds to the publishing industry. Victor Navasky, writing in The Nation in 2013, called it "a bold experiment in nonprofit, relatively radical book publishing," whose fifty books published per year were "virtually all [...] of social consequence."

Schiffrin was editor in chief for more than a decade, and remained "founding director and editor at large" until his death in 2013. In 2020 the board of directors included Gara Lamarche, Theodore M. Shaw, Sarah Burnes, Amy Glickman, and Diane Wachtell.

Notable New Press authors include Alice Walker and Bill Moyers. John W. Dower's Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II was published by New Press and won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 2000. Best selling New Press books include The Good War by Studs Terkel; The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander; and Understanding Power by Noam Chomsky.

Three New Press books were featured in Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2018: Sohaila Abdulali's What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape, AERA president Vanessa Siddle Walker's The Lost Education of Horace Tate, and Patrick Chamoiseau's Slave Old Man.

Awards
New Press books that have won awards:
1994: George Wittenborn Memorial Award from the Art Libraries Society of North America for Mining the Museum: an Installation by Fred Wilson, edited by Lisa G. Corrin.
1994: Lincoln Prize in Civil War History for Free at Last: A Documentary History of Slavery, Freedom, and the Civil War edited by Ira Berlin, Barbara Fields, Steven Miller, Joseph Reidy and Leslie Rowland.
1996: International Center of Photography's Infinity Award for Writing to Picturing Us: African American Identity in Photography by Deborah Willis.
 2000: Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction for John W. Dower's Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II.
2015: Silver Gavel Award from the American Bar Association to Nell Bernstein. Burning Down the House: The End of Juvenile Prison.

title: College Year in Athens

text:
College Year in Athens (CYA) is a not-for-profit , 501(c)(3) educational institution founded in 1963 and incorporated in the State of Delaware. It is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and governed by a board of trustees. It offers its study abroad program through the Athens-based International Center for Hellenic and Mediterranean Studies (DIKEMES). CYA is the first study abroad program in Greece for English speaking students and is a member of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, EAIE: European Association for International Education, and a charter member of FORUM: Forum on Education Abroad.

History
CYA was founded in 1962 by Ismene Phylactopoulou (1907-1983), a graduate of Wellesley College who received the Doctorate of Humane Letters from DePauw University in recognition of her achievements in study abroad.

Campus
The program's academic facilities are located at 5 Plateia Panathinaikou Stadiou, next to the Athens Marble Stadium (panathenaic Stadium), in the Pangrati area of Athens, near the Athens National Gardens and Lycabettus Hill.

Curriculum
The CYA study abroad program focuses upon the history and civilization of Greece and the Mediterranean region. The program of studies originally focused on Archaic and Classical Greece; over time, the historical range was expanded to include courses from prehistoric to modern times. In 1986 courses were added on the history, politics, and international affairs of the Balkans, western Asia, and the Middle East in recent times. Later in 1993, courses in European and East Mediterranean Studies were added.
All classes are taught in English, while Modern Greek language courses are offered as part of the curriculum. Many courses are taught on-site at archaeological sites and museums. Study-travel is an integral part of the CYA curriculum and trips are conducted by faculty and staff. Students visit major sites relevant to ancient, Byzantine, or modern Greek history during trips to Crete, the Peloponnese, and Central and Northern Greece. The program is organized using American standards for teaching and grading. CYA offers its own year- or semester-long program, as well as shorter summer programs.  It also creates and hosts customized programs for other US educational institutions.

Library resources

The CYA Library has a collection of approximately 5.500 books, CDs and DVDs in the fields of philosophy, history, art and archaeology, ethnography, literature, languages, religion and politics, natural sciences, and maintains various subscriptions to print journals and newspapers, a subscription to the Blegen Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, as well as part of JSTOR's database of electronic journals and to Columbia International Affairs Online.

It is the first library in Greece to use the open source Integrated Library System KOHA for cataloguing, catalog searches, circulation, and patron management, and also makes use of the Course Management System Moodle, which facilitates instructor communication with students regarding course assignments, on-site meeting times and places, and important updates.

Housing

CYA students live in self-contained apartments in residential apartment buildings in the Pangrati area of Athens,
which are situated a two- to ten-minute walk from the Academic Center. A typical apartment houses four or five students.

title: Iris tingitana

text:
Iris tingitana (also commonly known as the Morocco iris, or Tangerian iris, or Tangiers iris) is a species in the genus Iris in the subgenus of Xiphium.

Description
The  (diameter) bulb is red-brown in colour with veining.

The largest bulbs of the Iris subg. Xiphium subgenus are Iris tingitana. In the US, bulbs with an 11 cm circumference are recommended to be used by flower producers.

It has flowers in various shades of blue. It has pale blue veins on the flowers and has generally between 1 and 2 flowers to a stem. The stems is hidden by two channelled leaves.

It blooms between February and May. The plant can grow to a maximum height of 60 cm (24 in) and its leaves appear in the autumn. They can grow up to 1 1/2 ft high.

Biochemistry
'Iriskumaonin'  (C18H24O7 is found within the bulbs of Iris tingitana, as well as Iris germanica and Iris kemaonensis.

Taxonomy
The name is derived from 'tingitana' from the Greek word meaning 'from Tangiers'. It is pronounced 'ting-ee-TAN-uh'

It is often mistakenly called 'Spanish Iris'. The Spanish Iris is Iris xiphium.

It was first published and described by Pierre Edmond Boissier and George François Reuter in 'Pugillus Plantarum Novarum Africae Borealis Hispaniaeque Australis' (Pugill. Pl. Afr. Bor. Hispan.) Vol. 113 in January 1852.

It was then illustrated in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Tab. 6775 on 1 September 1884.

It was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 4 April 2003, then updated on 14 April 2009.

Iris tingitana is listed in the RHS Plant Finder.

Distribution and habitat
It is native to Africa.

Range
It is found in Morocco and Algeria.
It is also found in North Africa, Spain and Portugal.

Conservation
In 2014, it was becoming rare in Morocco.

Cultivation
It is very susceptible to iris mosaic virus.

It can be propagated by bulblets, 1 to 4 small bulbs growing beside the main bulb which can then be taken off and planted to grow on to form a new bulb.

It has a reputation of being a difficult species to grow in the UK. Even in the US, it is restricted to be grown in mild climates such as southern California. Due to the limited hardiness of the species, it is better grown in a bulb frame or grown in a dry border then lifted and stored like dahlias.

It can be grown in pots for inside or outside displays.

Cultivars
Known cultivars include; Iris tingitana 'Paris' (large dark blue violet flowers)

Monsanto e Idanha-a-Velha is a civil parish in the municipality of Idanha-a-Nova, Portugal. It was formed in 2013 by the merger of the former parishes Monsanto and Idanha-a-Velha. The population in 2011 was 892, in an area of 152.73 km2. Thanks to its fine collection of ruins, the village of Idanha-a-Velha has some of the country's most important archaeological sites. It stands in a place where a Roman city once lay, the capital of Civitas Igaeditanorum (1st century BC) and later the episcopal seat during occupation by the Suebi and Visigoths. It was occupied by Muslims in the 8th century and taken back by Christians in the 12th century. It was donated to the Knights Templar in the 13th century and still has traces of different ages that attest to permanent occupation by various civilisations. Perched on a hilltop that oversees all the surrounding horizons, the village of Monsanto has a unique charm that has earned it two titles in the 20th century – the Most Portuguese Village in Portugal in 1938, a title awarded by the Portuguese Secretariat for Propaganda under the Estado Novo regime, and Historical Village in 1995. Monsanto is one of the region's main tourist attractions and offers visitors a unique experience. It was granted charters by King Afonso Henriques, King Sancho I, King Sancho II and King Manuel. The oldest part is also the highest point, where the Knights Templar built a wall with the donjon.

title: Longwood (Glenwood, Maryland)

text:
Longwood Plantation was a forced-labor farm in Glenwood in Howard County, Maryland, United States.

The Longwood plantation was started by Dr. Gustavus Warfield (1784-??), son of Dr. Charles Alexander Warfield, a doctor and wealthy landowner in Howard County, where he owned an estate called Bushy Park. Gustavus graduated in 1806 from the University of Pennsylvania and returned to Howard County to practice medicine with his father. The elder Warfield died intestate in 1813, and Gustavus eventually took possession of part of his father's estate.

In the 1820s, he built a manor house, part of which stands today. The name Longwood originates with the Longwood House where Napoleon was exiled in Saint Helena. Rather than the typical practice of naming estates after land patents which would have included "Ridgley's Range" or "Ridgley's Great Park". Warfield practiced medicine and ran his forced-labor farm in the house; he would keep patients in a loft above his office if they were unfit to travel. It feature numerous outbuildings and a smokehouse.

The Warfields built a graveyard for people they enslaved; it sits to the south of the house. In 1860, Robert E. Lee visited Longwood to visit his wife's first cousin, George Washington Parke Custis Peter. He returned to visit in July 1870.

A will made out in 1865 by Warfield's wife, Mary Thomas Warfield, bequeathes various parts of the property and the people she enslaved to her daughters.

title: 1998 Rally GB

text:
The 1998 Wales Rally GB (formally the 54th Network Q Rally of Great Britain) was held between 22–24 November 1998 as the final round of the 1998 World Rally Championship season.

It was the second victory of the 1998 season for Richard Burns and his co-driver Robert Reid. It also saw Tommi Mäkinen score a hat-trick of Drivers' championships after his closest rival Carlos Sainz, just 300 metres from the finish and running in fourth with just the final special stage to go, suffered a huge upset; his Corolla was struck by engine failure at Margam, thus surrendering his title to Mäkinen.

Report
The first stages were won easily by Subaru's Colin McRae, winner in the last three Rally GB's on the WRC calendar. Despite dropping out of title contention at the last round in Australia, he attempted to regain his confidence by battling with Richard Burns for overall victory. On stage 6 at Millbrook, Burns's team-mate, defending champion Tommi Mäkinen, a contender for the title with Carlos Sainz, struck a concrete block, causing his right rear wheel to detach. Mäkinen had slid off the road due to an oil patch left by an Hillman Imp racing in a separate historic event. His Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V limped on three wheels for another few kilometres before the local police pulled him over, retiring him from the event and supposedly ending his title hopes. Sadly, it was also all over for the Scotsman on stage 20, Sweet Lamb. McRae's engine failed on him whilst leading, and caused him to retire. This put fellow Brit Burns in the running for his first Rally GB victory.

All Sainz had to do to clinch the title was finish fourth or better. The Spaniard, a previous twice World Champion, had been in reach of the title ever since Mäkinen's sudden retirement and looked set to clinch title number three.

Sainz's position on the final stages put Mäkinen's hopes in jeopardy. When Sainz's engine blew on the last special stage, he and co-driver Luis Moya were visibly frustrated, with Moya throwing his helmet through the car's rear windscreen, as hopes of a first title since 1992 went up in smoke, allowing Mäkinen, not Sainz, to win number three and thus, clinch a hat trick. Had Sainz reached the finish in his current position, the Spaniard would have been champion by a solitary point. Instead it was Belgian Grégoire De Mévius who finished fourth, succeeding where Sainz failed. Burns, in the Carisma, dominated the last nine stages to win his second WRC rally ever, his first since the Safari Rally at the beginning of March. McRae managed to keep third overall in the championship regardless of his position. Just over half the field did not finish, with 82 cars making the finish at Margam. The PWRC title was taken by Gustavo Trelles, with the race won by Manfred Stohl. Fittingly, it was also Burns' final event in a Mitsubishi, he'd signed for Subaru for 1999 to partner Juha Kankkunen who replaced the Ford-bound McRae.

It was first time since 1976 with Roger Clark that an English driver had won the Rally GB, ending a 22-year wait for their next winner. It was at the same event three years later that Burns would take the title there, and become Britain's second World Rally Champion and England's first. Ford got two of its leading cars onto the podium with Juha Kankkunen and Bruno Thiry both in Escorts.

title: Umbonium conicum

text:
Umbonium conicum is a species of very small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

Description
The height of the shell attains 5 mm, its diameter 7 mm.
The polished, smooth, thin but solid shell has a conic shape with a flat base. Its color pattern is dark purple, unicolored with a reddish apex, or with an opaque white band on the lower part of each whorl, or with the entire upper surface of the two outer whorls white, the base purple. The conical spire has straight lateral outlines. The six whorls are rather slowly widening. The body whorl is rounded at the periphery, flat below, or a trifle concave around the rather small, circular, dark central callus. The aperture is subquadrate and iridescent inside. The short columella is oblique, very thick and heavy, with a little nick in the edge near its base, and a slight notch where it is inserted upon the basal callus pad.

The coloration is peculiar ; a beautiful iridescence glows through the purplish outer coat of the upper whorls. The conical form, flat base, and peculiarly nicked columella, together with the polished surface, smooth except for fine, impressed lines of increment, are diagnostic. Umbonium thomasi Crosse 1862, is larger and quite differently colored and sculptured.

Distribution
This species occurs in the Sea of China and off Borneo.

title: PLDT HOME: The Last Home Stand

text:
The PLDT HOME: The Last Home Stand was a charity basketball event in the Philippines, primarily sponsored by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and organized by East-West Private LLC, a US-based events organizing company, that featured the Philippine men's national basketball team (Gilas Pilipinas) together with the players from the National Basketball Association. The proceeds of the event will be given to the Philippine Disaster Recovery Foundation and Caritas Manila.

Two exhibition games between the Philippine national team and the NBA players were scheduled to be held on July 22 and 23 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, but were postponed moments before tipoff of the first game after the NBA players were warned by their league officials of possible penalties and suspensions if they took part in a basketball activity not recognized by the NBA. A drills showcase from both teams were hastily organized in place of the scheduled exhibition game, which was negatively received by the paying patrons of the event. The organizers offered refunds for the ticket holders after the first exhibition game was cancelled. Subsequently, the scheduled activities for July 23, which included a meet-and-greet event at SM Megamall and the second exhibition game at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, were cancelled.

Background
The event was first announced through the Twitter account of PLDT chairman and Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Manny V. Pangilinan on June 25, 2014. In his Twitter post, he announced that NBA players Blake Griffin, Damian Lillard, DeMar DeRozan and Paul Pierce would take part in two exhibition games scheduled on July 22 and 23 against Gilas Pilipinas, the Philippine men's basketball team, who are preparing for the 2014 FIBA World Cup. The national team's coach, Chot Reyes also confirmed the event through his Twitter account. Skills coach John Lucas II will also conduct a skills training camp during the event. Ticket prices were announced days later through Ticketnet, the ticketing arm of the Smart Araneta Coliseum, ranging from Php 23,330 (US$538.35) in the patron section to Php 750 (US$17.33) in the general admission section.

On July 1, the organizers announced that Kyle Lowry, Nick Johnson and 2014 NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard would also take part with the event. Paul George was later added to the lineup according to Pangilinan in a post from his Twitter account on July 14. A day later, James Harden, Tyson Chandler and Brandon Jennings were confirmed to be part of the event. They also announced that Paul Pierce had pulled out of the event.

The event was organized by East-West Private LLC, a US-based events organizing company, who had been responsible for bringing in Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant, among others, to play in an exhibition game in the Philippines in 2011, entitled Smart Ultimate All-Star Weekend, while an NBA lockout was ongoing.

Event
Hours before the start of the first exhibition game on July 22, the organizers confirmed that Blake Griffin and Paul George had backed out of the event. In a video posted on the internet, Griffin apologized to the Filipino fans for not coming because "something from home needed my urgent attention". In a separate report, George cited "personal reasons" as the cause of his sudden pull-out. Matt Barnes became their last-minute replacement.

After the traditional call up of players to the basketball court, Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes told the audience that the Gilas team and the NBA players would not be playing an exhibition game and would instead participate in a live open practice session. PLDT Vice President Ariel Fermin then told the crowd that if they were not satisfied with the event, the organizers would be offering a full refund for the purchased tickets. He reminded the audience that the proceeds of the event will be given to charity, saying "Tulungan niyo kaming tulungan ang ibang tao (Help us help other people), after all, this is really for a good cause."

The event started with skills coach John Lucas II giving instructions to the players on drills, which were broken down in seven-minute segments. At first, the audience were responding positively with the drills, but as time went on, boos from the crowd started erupting after they realized that there will be no five-on-five game that night. When the event finished, the audience began to chant "REFUND! REFUND! REFUND!"

In a hastily called press conference, and in an official statement issued that same day, PLDT chairman Manny Pangilinan apologized to the basketball fans "for disappointing them". He also cancelled the events planned for the second day. He said that refunds would be made to those people who had purchased tickets. During the press conference, East West Holdings official Maria Espaldon told the media that they had not been able to secure clearance from the NBA to hold the event. In the hopes of having the event comply with the NBA's rules, the organizers set it up as a "basketball clinic" that also included a five-on-five scrimmage between the NBA players and the Gilas team. She also said that the event was never advertised as a game. Hours before the start of the event, the NBA players received calls from representatives of the league, who warned them that they were subject to possible fines and league suspensions should they take part in the activity.

On July 23, the NBA released a press statement regarding the reported intervention of the league in the charity event. East-West Private LLC failed to secure the clearance needed from the NBA for their players to be allowed to participate in the event, as stated in the league's collective bargaining agreement, even after they informed the promoters about the process "several months ago".

Aftermath
The organizers reportedly spent up to P200 million (USD$4.6 million) for the event and paid the participating players up to US$150,000 each. The Games and Amusements Board, the Philippine government agency responsible on regulating professional sports events warned that sanctions will be served to the organizers, and may be liable for misleading the public that a basketball exhibition game would be held during the event.

Refunds for the tickets were processed starting on July 24. Ticket holders who bought the tickets through Ticketnet were advised to go to the Smart Araneta Coliseum box office to claim their refunds. For those who bought the tickets online, their credit card charges were to be reversed.

title: Philippines men's national 3x3 team

text:
The Philippines men's national 3x3 team represents the country in international 3x3 basketball matches and is governed by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas''.

History
When 3x3 was held at the 2007 Asian Indoor Games as a demonstration sports the Philippine national team finished fourth with Hong Kong defeating them in the third place play-off. Luigi Trillo was the coach that guided national team composing of Nico Salva, Ryan Buenafe, Arvie Bringas and Clark Bautista, in the games.

The Philippines also participated in the 2010 Youth Summer Olympics in Singapore, the first edition of the Youth Olympics where 3x3 is among the sports contested. The national team finished ninth.

By the virtue of the Philippines' FIBA 3x3 Federation Ranking, the national team qualified for the 2016 FIBA 3x3 World Championships and made their debut in the tournament. They lost 2 and win 2 of their four matches.

The national team played their second stint in the world championships, now renamed as the FIBA 3x3 World Cup in 2018 which was hosted at home in Bocaue. This time the Philippine national team composed of professional players and Bounty Agro Ventures, the owners of Chooks-to-Go and sponsor of the national team and tournament, pledged unspecified monetary reward for the Philippine national team for each game won. Like in 2016, they lost half of their four matches (to Mongolia and Canada) but won over Brazil and Russia which were ranked fifth and third respectively. The team which is composed of players who typically plays the full 5-a-side basketball cited its experience in 3x3 for its finishing.

The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), the country's national association, planned to come up with a road map to help the Philippines qualify a team in 3x3 basketball in the 2020 Summer Olympics following the national team's stint in the 2018 FIBA 3x3 World Cup. The SBP planned to create a pool of players dedicated to the 3x3 variant of basketball. The SBP, along with private sponsor Chooks-to-Go, started the process in August 2018 with the launch of a national tour to help scout for players across the country.

The SBP managed to help the Philippine men's national team secure a berth in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT) for the 2020 Summer Olympics via the world rankings. The Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 league and the Manok ng Bayan–SBP 3X3 youth tournament to help raise enough world ranking points for the Philippine men's national team to qualify a spot in the OQT. Serbians Stefan Stojavic and Darko Krsman were tasked to help prepare the Philippines for their OQT bid.

title: 1908 State of the Union Address

text:
The 1908 State of the Union Address was written on Tuesday, December 8, 1908, by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States.  He did not speak directly to the 60th United States Congress. That did not happen until 1913.  He said about the navy, "I approve the recommendations of the General Board for the increase of the Navy, calling especial attention to the need of additional destroyers and colliers, and above all, of the four battleships. It is desirable to complete as soon as possible a squadron of eight battleships of the best existing type."
