title: Focus of infection

text:
A focus of infection is a place containing whatever epidemiological factors are needed for transmission of an infection. Any focus of infection will have a source of infection, and other common traits of such a place include a human community, a vector population, and environmental characteristics adequate for spreading infection.

Examples of focus of infection

Water pump in 1854 London

In 1854 London physician John Snow discovered that people who drank from a particular water pump contracted cholera, and proposed that drinking this water from this pump was the cause of the illness. At the time people did not readily believe germ theory of disease, instead favoring miasma theory. The discovery of the water pump as a source of infection set a precedent which helped establish epidemiology as a science.

Gay bathhouses, particularly in 1980s
A gay bathhouse is a place where men who have sex with men meet for sex. In the 1980s at the advent of HIV/AIDS many men who used bathhouses for sex developed AIDS as a consequence of their having sex without using safe sex practices for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. Consequently, public health policies found bathhouses to be a place to target for public health intervention.

Child daycare
Childcare infection is the spread of infection during childcare, typically because of contact among children in daycare or school. This happens when groups of children meet in a childcare environment, and there any individual with an infectious disease may spread it to the entire group. Commonly spread diseases include influenza-like illness and enteric illnesses, such as diarrhea among babies using diapers. It is uncertain how these diseases spread, but hand washing reduces some risk of transmission and increasing hygiene in other ways also reduces risk of infection.

title: Ālambana

text:
Ālambana (Sanskrit:आलम्बन), is a Sanskrit term which variously means – support, foundation, supporting, base, sustaining, cause, reason, basis, or the five attributes of things, or the silent repetition of a prayer, or the natural and necessary connection of a sensation with the cause which excites it, or the mental exercise practiced by the yogis in endeavouring to realize the gross form of the Eternal.

Vedic implication

In Indian philosophy ālambana refers to the objective basis of a perception or sensation; according to which philosophy Kārana (cause) and all attendant emotional conditions are known as Vibhavas which are of two kinds – a) Ālambana, the personal and human object and substratum, and b) Uddipana, the excitant. Ālambana may further be divided into asraya and visaya, Radha is asraya and Krishna is visaya; Radha, as the devotee, experienced greater pleasure than Krishna who remained the object of her veneration. Visaya is the potential object of a perceptual consciousness, ālambana is the objective basis which can even be the cause of perceptual or cognition support for a perceptual error. The Nyaya school does not consider the object in front to be the ālambana of the illusory cognition but rather the interfering external element with its own characteristics. The best ālambana for the upasana of Brahman is Om.

In Vedic parlance, ālambana is also known as skambha i.e. the pillar of strength; God is the pillar of strength; it is the objective contemplation which lends support to the mind in its travel Godwards.

Rasa implication

In the Indian theory of Rasa, Uddipana is the excitant or determinant which inflames sentiments or emotions, and ālambana is that on which the sentiment hangs i.e. ālambana is with reference to the sentiment which arises as the link between a sentiment and the cause which excites it. In Rasa process, the nature or object is said to be visibly present before the asraya as an excitant but the object that arouses emotions is usually imagined by the poet or dramatist; the mere presence of vibhava impels the configuration of Pratibha (the intuitive outcome of wisdom or knowledge) to change it in no time. As per the Rasa of Heroic devotion in compassion the enhancing excitants include transitory emotions such as impatience, understanding and happiness, and Krishna in some disguised form is offered by the hero, motivated by kindness, his own body. Yuddhisthira had made sacrificial offerings to Krishna.

Yogic implication

With the aid of self-supported yoga or ātmālambana yoga, Ishvara can be seen in two ways i.e. dual and non-dual, or can be seen as fourfolded. Ālambana refers to inner support and yoga refers to self-discipline; ātmālambana yoga is the discipline of objectifying the non-self with the aid of the self when the negated-self becomes the object of the self.

Patanjali while defining Sleep which is a vritti of Buddhi, just as the waking state and the dream states are, tells us:

अभावप्रत्ययालम्बना तमोवर्त्तिर्निद्रा (Yoga Sutra Samādhipada 10)

"Deep sleep is the absence of all impressions resulting from opacity in that which is mutable in human-beings (citta)."

Here, he has used the word, ālambana, to mean support or based on i.e. absence of impressions is supported / based on inertia.

Buddhist implication

According to the Yogacara phenomenology the ālambana condition, whether immediate direct or remote, means if there exists a dharma it will have a distinct appearance, the mind will sometimes correspond with it (lakshana) for that dharma to be cognized and perceptually grasped. This condition leads to the awakening which results in the ending of the eight consciousnesses and replacing them with four enlightened cognitive abilities. The Buddhist consider ālambana as a cause same as hetu, samanantara and adhipati, they consider it to be the object-condition which is taken as the cause in the production of knowledge and mentals, such as citta and caitta.
According to Nagarjuna there are three motivational contexts of love and compassion viz, sattva-ālambana, motivated by the similarity of one’s self with other selves, dharma-ālambana, motivated by the sameness of psycho-physical elements, and ānalambana which is not motivated by these two i.e. which is independent of motivational context. Xuanzang in the context of Dignāga’s statement with reference to the eighth consciousness explains that the seeds or virtualities of the eighth consciousness produce the actual consciousness and also the objective base (ālambana) of actual consciousness.

Video game

A free-to-play strategy role-playing video game based on the webcomic, was released on iOS and Android on 15 July 2015. The player controls one of three factions: Hare, Bald Eagle and Bear.

Reception

Critical response
Hare () is now used as Internet slang referring to China.

Criticisms
The historical vision, provided in first two seasons of Year Hare Affair, came under heavy criticism in an overview on the Russian website South China Insight, especially Sino-Soviet relations. Though it is admitted that relations with Russia "occupy a leading place" in reflecting of Chinese history, but with a "complete disregard for historical facts", such as Soviet involvement in the Chinese Communist Party's foundation and the Red Army's liberation of Manchuria from Japanese forces. It was also noted that the Sino-Vietnamese War has been completely left behind.

Oiwan Lam of Global Voices Online finds racism in portraying the African as a hippopotamus, which she considers "a lazy and stupid animal". In that regard, "China's aid for Africa has also been simplified as a last resort because 'the first world refused to play with us'".

Ratings
The second and third season received 8.6 and 8.4 points out of 10 on Douban.

title: Tamanend (sculpture)

text:
Tamanend was honored as the figurehead of  in a carving by William Luke. Tamanend the “affable” (c. 1628–1698) was a chief of one of the clans that made up the Lenni-Lenape nation in the Delaware Valley. He is best known as a lover of peace and friendship who played a prominent role in the establishment of peaceful relations among the Native American tribes and the English settlers who established Pennsylvania, led by William Penn.

The USS Delaware was burned in 1861 at the Gosport Navy Yard to prevent Confederate capture at the start of the Civil War. In 1866, the salvaged figurehead was transferred to the United States Naval Academy and placed on a pedestal facing Bancroft Hall, the Naval Academy's dormitory that is said to be the largest dormitory in the United States, and is flanked by Stribling Walk on both sides.

For 40 years, the wooden figurehead kept its vigil in the Yard until the weather began to take its toll. In 1906 repairs using cement, putty, and paint temporarily removed the signs of age. When the ravages of the elements again threatened, the Class of 1891 had the statue cast in bronze and presented it to the Brigade of Midshipmen and Naval Academy. The task of restoration was accomplished at the U.S. Naval Gun Factory.

Description
The statue is positioned on a base of Vermont marble and measures . The area between the figurehead and Bancroft Hall is called T-Court. In 1930, the wooden "heart" and "brains" of the original statue were transferred to the bronze statue.

Inscriptions
On the front base of the statue:

On the statue's bronze base, to the rear:

Traditions

Tamanend is sometimes referred to as the "God of 2.0," the passing grade point average at the Academy. Midshipmen toss pennies at the quiver on Tamanend's back for good luck during their exam periods and Army-Navy competitions.

9th company is responsible for spirit boards to be painted and displayed around Tamanend's base before major events and home games (e.g. for Parents' Weekend in August, Homecoming in the fall, before Army-Navy contests, and for Commissioning Week in May).

title: Glöwen station

text:
Glöwen station is the station of the town of Glöwen, which is in the municipality of Plattenburg and the German state of Brandenburg. It lies on the Berlin–Hamburg Railway and was opened in 1846.  The Glöwen–Havelberg railway branched at the station from 1890 to 1971. The former Light Railway of the District of West and East Prignitz () from Viesecke, a small town now in the municipality of Plattenburg, ended in Glöwen from 1900 to 1967. The Neoclassical entrance, which was built at the same time as the line, has heritage protection.

Location

The station is located at kilometre 101.8 of the Berlin–Hamburg railway on the southern outskirts of Glöwen, about one km south of the town centre. The railway line in this area runs approximately east–west and crosses federal highway 107 in the station area. The town of Havelberg lies about ten km to the south.

History

The Berlin–Hamburg railway was opened between Berlin and Boizenburg on 15 October 1846 and Glöwen station was opened on the same day. The station was intended from the beginning to serve not only the comparatively small town of Glöwen, but also as a hub for Havelberg and a number of other places. In the years following the opening of the station, two passenger fares were offered on the day to Havelberg, plus a fare on the day to Genthin and even a fare to Rostock. Patronage at Glöwen station in 1847 was in sixth place of the stations of the Berlin-Hamburg Railway after Berlin, Hamburg, Hagenow, Wittenberge and Ludwigslust.

In the following years there were various plans to connect more railway lines in Glöwen. In 1872, the Berlin-Anhalt Railway Company (Berlin-Anhaltische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft), carried out preparatory work for a railway from Glöwen towards Jüterbog or Wittenberg via Brandenburg and extending to Saxony. These plans were abandoned during the Panic of 1873 (Gründerkrach).

The railway to Havelberg went into operation on 15 February 1890. The original plans for a more extensive north–south connection were not pursued. On the one hand, the topographic situation in the Havelberg area, where a crossing of the Havel would have been necessary, was difficult and, on the other hand, a network of narrow gauge railways was built around 1900 in the Prignitz north of the Hamburg railway. This meant that a continuous connections from Havelberg to the north was no longer useful. A section of this narrow gauge network linked Glöwen with Viesecke and over longer distances with Pritzwalk, Kyritz and Perleberg from 1900.

Extensive military installations were built south of Glöwen in about 1940. South of the station there was a plant, partly for refurbishing ammunition, in which prisoners from the Glöwen camp, a satellite camp of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, had to work in the last years of the war. The plant was connected by a siding branching off the line to Havelberg.

After the war the railway to Havelberg was dismantled as reparations to the Soviet Union. After strong protests from the region, it was then rebuilt, but with a 750 mm gauge. Even after the Second World War, Glöwen remained an important military location, which was accessed from the station. This was reflected in the fact that some Durchgangszug (express trains) running between Schwerin and Berlin also stopped in Glöwen until the early 1990s. In 1967, the narrow-gauge railway was closed to Viesecke and dismantled a little later; in 1971, the same happened with the line to Havelberg.

A regular-interval integrated timetable was introduced in the mid-1990s. Every two hours local services connected Glöwen with Wittenberge and Nauen, where there was a connection to Berlin; from 1996 services ran directly to Berlin Westkreuz. The service ran hourly between Wittenberge and Berlin from 1997. The line between Berlin and Hamburg was upgraded in two stages in the 1990s and 2000s. In the first stage of the line was electrified and Glöwen station was rebuilt and provided with platforms on the outsides of the tracks. In the second stage, the line was upgraded to a maximum speed of 230 km/h. As part of this work, the level crossing on the federal highway at Glöwen station was replaced by an underpass.

Today (as of 2014) Glöwen Station is served by the RE 2 Regional-Express service, operated by Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn, connecting to Wismar and Cottbus  via Berlin and Wittenberge. Buses stop at the station on bus route 900 operated by Stendalbus to Havelberg with a connection to Stendal.

Infrastructure

The station building, which dates from the building of the line, is to the west of the road to Havelberg and south of the tracks, on the side facing away from the town. It was probably designed by the planning director of the Berlin–Hamburg Railway, Friedrich Neuhaus together with Ferdinand Wilhelm Holz. The basic design of the building is similar to Ludwigslust station and the original Boizenburg station building, which no longer exists. The two-story building with a flat hip roof has an L-shaped ground plan. The outer side facing north on the side of the tracks has six portals and the side facing east towards the federal highway has nine portals. This asymmetric plan differs significantly from most other station buildings on the Berlin–Hamburg railway. The shape of the building, unlike some other stations of the Berlin–Hamburg railway, has not been altered by later additions with the exception of a loggia attached to the inside of the courtyard after 1859. Living quarters were established in the longer wing of the building and the waiting rooms among other things were located in the shorter wing.

The facade is decorated with different decorative elements. These include a meandering band on the eaves of the cornices and a number of decorative elements on windows and doors, such as ventilation holes in the cornices over the windows. The window elements facing the tracks are richly decorated. Manfred Berger stated in 1980 that the building was a functional, yet beautiful building that was amazing for this small town in Brandenburg.

In 1982, the building was declared a national monument. Since the station staff was withdrawn in the 1990s, the building has been unused and is empty. Damage caused by decay are clearly visible. In many places the plaster has crumbled and the decorative elements are partially destroyed. It is now also listed in the heritage list of station buildings. In the autumn of 2012, the station building was bought by an investor for renovation and use to house shops, refreshments and services, particularly for the Federal horticulture show (Bundesgartenschau) that is taking place in the region in 2015.

Other infrastructure

Originally both platforms were accessible from the station building. Since the renovation in the 1990s, the station has two outside platforms that are connected by a pedestrian tunnel. The two main through tracks run between the two platform tracks. As part of the further upgrade of the line after 2000 an underpass was built for the highway, which had previously crossed the railway tracks over a level crossing.

The tracks for the handling of freight lie on the north side of the tracks. The freight dispatch building, which also dated from the early days of the station and was built in a style then typical for the region with brick and a half-timbered element with a wide overhanging roof above the loading platform, making a contrast to the entrance building, no longer exists. Three tracks still exist in the area north of the platforms and are available and connected from the west. East of the highway there is a track for loading and unloading.

Formerly there was a platform on the tracks of the now closed line to Havelberg to the west of the station building.

The dismantled tracks of the narrow-gauge railway towards Pritzwalk and Lindenberg were located north of the tracks of the main line. To the east of the present federal highway on the main line towards Lindenberg was the platform with a small entrance building, which is now (as of 2012) used as a local club. The facilities for freight and for changing locomotives were west of the highway next to the freight facilities of the main line. There was no track connection to the narrow-gauge tracks or to the line to Havelberg, which was also rebuilt to narrow gauge after the Second World War. Vehicles were transported by standard-gauge transfer wagons between the two parts of the station.

The station is served by the : Wismar – Schwerin –  –  – Glöwen – Berlin  –

title: The Tor Project

text:
The Tor Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) research-education nonprofit organization based in Winchester, New Hampshire. It is founded by computer scientists Roger Dingledine, Nick Mathewson, and five others. The Tor Project is primarily responsible for maintaining software for the Tor anonymity network.

History
The Tor Project was founded in December 2006 by computer scientists Roger Dingledine, Nick Mathewson and five others. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) acted as the Tor Project's fiscal sponsor in its early years, and early financial supporters of the Tor Project included the U.S. International Broadcasting Bureau, Internews, Human Rights Watch, the University of Cambridge, Google, and Netherlands-based Stichting NLnet.

In October 2014, the Tor Project hired the public relations firm Thomson Communications in order to improve its public image (particularly regarding the terms "Dark Net" and "hidden services") and to educate journalists about the technical aspects of Tor.

In May 2015, the Tor Project ended the Tor Cloud Service.

In December 2015, the Tor Project announced that it had hired Shari Steele, former executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, as its new executive director. Roger Dingledine, who had been acting as interim executive director since May 2015, remained at the Tor Project as a director and board member. Later that month, the Tor Project announced that the Open Technology Fund would be sponsoring a bug bounty program that was coordinated by HackerOne. The program was initially invite-only and focuses on finding vulnerabilities that are specific to the Tor Project's applications.

On May 25, 2016 Tor Project employee Jacob Appelbaum stepped down from his position; this was announced on June 2 in a two-line statement by Tor. Over the following days, allegations of sexual mistreatment were made public by several people.

On July 13, 2016, the complete board of the Tor Project – Meredith Hoban Dunn, Ian Goldberg, Julius Mittenzwei, Rabbi Rob Thomas, Wendy Seltzer, Roger Dingledine and Nick Mathewson – was replaced with Matt Blaze, Cindy Cohn, Gabriella Coleman, Linus Nordberg, Megan Price and Bruce Schneier. A new anti-harassment policy has been approved by the new board, as well as a conflicts of interest policy, procedures for submitting complaints, and an internal complaint review process. The affair continues to be controversial, with considerable dissent within the Tor community.

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tor project's core team let go of 13 employees, leaving a working staff of 22 people.

Funding
, 80% of the Tor Project's $2 million annual budget came from the United States government, with the U.S. State Department, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, and the National Science Foundation as major contributors, "to aid democracy advocates in authoritarian states". The Swedish government and other organizations provided the other 20%, including NGOs and thousands of individual sponsors. Dingledine said that the United States Department of Defense funds are more similar to a research grant than a procurement contract. Tor executive director Andrew Lewman said that even though it accepts funds from the U.S. federal government, the Tor service did not collaborate with the NSA to reveal identities of users.

In June 2016, the Tor Project received an award from Mozilla's Open Source Support program (MOSS). The award was "to significantly enhance the Tor network's metrics infrastructure so that the performance and stability of the network can be monitored and improvements made as appropriate."

The citation read, "Using free software, Tor has enabled roughly 36 million people around the world to experience freedom of access and expression on the Internet while keeping them in control of their privacy and anonymity. Its network has proved pivotal in dissident movements in both Iran and more recently Egypt."

In September 2012, the Tor Project received the 2012 EFF Pioneer Award, along with Jérémie Zimmermann and Andrew Huang.

In November 2012, Foreign Policy magazine named Dingledine, Mathewson, and Syverson among its Top 100 Global Thinkers "for making the web safe for whistleblowers".

In 2014, Roger Dingledine, Nick Mathewson and Paul Syverson received the USENIX Test of Time Award for their paper titled "Tor: The Second-Generation Onion Router", which was published in the Proceedings of the 13th USENIX Security Symposium, August 2004.

Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society is an educational institution, which organizes about 1,000 Social Welfare Residential Schools in Telangana state by the Government of Telangana, India.

History
Telangana Social Welfare Residential Education Institution Society TSWREIS residential schools and colleges which are started by THE SRI.N.T.RAMARAO former Chief Minister of united Andhrapradesh Government in 1984 to provide quality education to poor Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and Other Backward Caste students by establishing residential schools. At present there are 267 institutions with residential schools, junior and degree colleges with good infrastructure and focus on the all round development of students so that they can face the world with confidence. At present under the state bifurcation policy Andhra Pradesh Social welfare residential Educational Institutions Society has been divided into two separate institutions each in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh respectively. Dr. Repalle Shiva Praveen Kumar IPS is the Secretary of the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Institutions Society.

Background
India has undergone many social movements like civil rights, labour/trade movements, women's movement, human rights movement, dalit and tribal movements from last few centuries. Many of them are against the vulnerable social practices which are untouchability, discrimination based on caste, atrocities against the certain sections of dalit, tribal, backward and minority communities. One such community who has always been on the receiving end and have never got the opportunity to live a life of dignity is Dalit.
Pre-Independent India has seen great leaders like Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar who have given their life for empowerment and equality of Dalit community. Post independence, India has brought in various reforms and welfare programs but many of those are either in paper or at Idea stage.

Contribution of SR Sankaran
One such leader who has brought a revolution and took drastic steps in formulating Pro-poor policies as a bureaucrat is S. R. Sankaran. Though he is born in an upper-class family but his exceptional work especially towards the Dalit and other marginalized community has been appreciated by all over India. He always believed injustice and stigma attached with Dalit can be removed by empowering them with education and creating employment opportunity. During his tenure as Secretary in Social Welfare Department he has brought in various reforms like protection of Dalits and Adivasis under the Prevention of Atrocities Act, improvement and expansion of reservation, poverty alleviation by assigning, distributing and creating employment opportunity for landless, integrated development under various government schemes, releasing bonded labour, conversion to other religion, women issues. In education sector he has brought in major reforms like setting up exclusive schools for Dalits, providing scholarships, developing hostels, colleges. All the untiring, sincere and dedicated work for the downtrodden has got him many awards and recognition but he will always be remembered as "People’s IAS Officer".

Alumni

SWAEROES movement
Dr.R.S.Praveen Kumar IPS(VRS)BSP, the secretary of social welfare schools, is the founder and the guiding force to launch a payback movement called SWAEROES. Where SWAEROES stands for Social Welfare Aeroes (Greek for sky) it means that sky is the limit and there is no reverse gear or no looking back or no slowing down.

Why SWAEROES Our great leaders Jyotirao Phule and Dr. BR Ambedkar have always tried to create new leaders so that their ideology and fight against injustice can be taken forward but because of lack of education and empowerment they have always been on the back-foot. Now institution like TSWREIS has created an opportunity for the upliftment of children of marginalised community in the areas of education, research and employment, which has led to create a platform for future leaders so that they can go back and serve their respective communities. Majority of the students are first generation learners, in spite of education family members are apprehensive about the opportunities.

How they will redefine the dignity of Swaeroes : Since the establishment of institution in 1984, they have produced thousands of brilliant students. Many of the students have gone ahead created a mark for themselves in their carrier and for the community. All the student who have studied in this institution have come together and have formed an organization called SWAEROES. The strong army of ----members have a strong network with members from different professional background. They will be playing the role of a guide and mentor for all the SWAEROES.

Programs and events
The following are some of the programs through which they are going to impact the community:

BHEEM DHEEKSHA:  It is life changing dheeksha starts on 15 March to 14 April every year we are remembering our great forefathers birth anniversaries by the time of Bheem dheeksha month. Reading life history of our fathers Dr Ambedkar, Phule, Savitri bhai, kansiram.

We should wake up early in the morning 5 am. We should do exercise daily. We should not take alcohol.

Parents Fest  All the students in the school belong to a very humble background and majority of them are the first time learners, parents are not aware of the talent and the kind of learning happening in school. So, the Parents Fest is conducted to showcase the talent of their children. Apart from the students, alumni group also participate and share their stories to boost the confidence and give a hope to the parents about the future of their children, so that the parents can go back and talk about the importance of education.

Ambedkar Knowledge center This center's are established at villages, mandal level, and district level by the SWAEROES team to propagate about the Ideals of Ambedkar's Philosophy. The focus of the center is to educate and create awareness about the importance of education. They share various successful case studies so that they are motivated and are encouraged to not only send their children for education but they also learn and understand the various growth opportunities available.

Mt. Everest All round development has always been the moto of the institution. Apart from education students have been divided based on their interest and talent. One such initiatives is Mountaineering and Adventure club, every year group of students have been setting standards and claiming various Mountains. This year Ms. Malavath Purna (A tribal girl) created a world record by becoming the youngest women to climb the Mount Everest and her team member Mr Sadhanapalli Anand Kumar became the First Dalit to climb on the Mt. Everest.

Pratigna Divas Previously November 23 is celebrated as Never give up day but from this year it is being celebrated as Pratigna Divas.

Vocational Training It prepare students for the every changing scenario, students are prepared in the various vocational training programs, so that students not only learn the theoretically but also practically.

Alumni Meets Alumni group is very big and they are spread across various sector and places. Alumni meets regularly happen at various levels starting from school level to zonal level to district level. They use this platform to create awareness about the latest trend in the market apart from latest opportunities in various fields.

title: John C. Pritzlaff

text:
John C. Pritzlaff (March 8, 1820 – March 18, 1900) was the founder of the John Pritzlaff Hardware Company, the largest wholesale hardware store in the Midwestern United States until its closure in 1958.

Early life
Pritzlaff was born in 1820 in Truskolas, a village in the province of Pomerania, Prussia. In 1839, after the death of his father, Pritzlaff came to America at the age of 19, eventually settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Territory in 1841. He worked as a teamster and a cook, and cut timber at Schlitz Park, the former site of the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company. In 1843, he was employed as a porter by Shepardson and Farwell, which was later acquired by Henry J. Nazro & Company.

Career
In 1850, Nazro was a silent partner to Pritzlaff and another man, who together opened a small outfit called Pritzlaff & Company. By 1853, one partner had left, and the other had been bought out. Pritzlaff incorporated his hardware store in 1884 as the John Pritzlaff Hardware Company and became the president of the corporation, naming John C. Koch as the vice-president.

Pritzlaff's company continued to grow, making it the largest hardware company in Milwaukee. They moved to a second location and his store went on to be known as the largest wholesale hardware company and iron supply house in the Northwest, which is most likely is a reference to the Northwest Territory. When Pritzlaff died in 1900, he left behind a fortune nearing $8 million in today's value.

Personal life
In 1844, Pritzlaff married Sophia Christine Blume. They had eight children: Elizabeth Sophia (1845–1916), who married John C. Koch; Anton (1847-1849); Auguste Emile (1850-1888), who married Franz Wollaeger, the secretary  and  treasurer of the John Pritzlaff Hardware Company; Mathilda (1855–1857); Louis (1858–1872); Amalia Emma (1851-1926), who married Herman August Luedke, the vice-president of the John Pritzlaff Hardware Company; and Fred C. Pritzlaff (1861–1951), who went on to be president of the John Pritzlaff Hardware Company until he died, and one stillborn child.

title: Dendrelaphis oliveri

text:
Dendrelaphis oliveri, commonly known as Oliver's bronzeback, is a species of nonvenomous arboreal snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to Sri Lanka. It is considered to be the rarest of the Sri Lankan Dendrelaphis species on account of there being only a single recorded specimen.

Etymology
Both the specific name, oliveri, and the common name, Oliver's bronzeback, are in honor of American herpetologist James A. Oliver.

Description
Similar to other bronzebacks, D. oliveri has enlarged dorsal scales, large eyes relative to its head size, a clearly differentiated head from body, a long slender body with a long tail.

It can be identified from its Sri Lankan cogeners by the combination of a lack of a loreal scale, the prefrontals contacting the 2nd, 3rd and 4th supralabials and the 4th, 5th and 6th supralabials contacting the eye. Furthermore, it has an eye stripe that begins post-nasal and continues past the eye through to the base of the tail. Below this black ventrolateral line is a white ventrolateral line beginning at the posterior supralabials and continuing to the tail. This white ventrolateral is bordered below by another black ventrolateral that begins at the neck and continues to the tail.

The lack of a loreal scale is a character D. oliveri shares with D. effrenis in Sri Lanka. However, D. oliveri can be further identified from D. effrenis by its colour patterns and the following characters: prefrontals contacting the 2nd, 3rd and 4th supralabials (vs only 2nd and 3rd), the presence of a ventrolateral stripe (vs absent) and 2 postoculars (vs 3).

The lack of a loreal scale is a character that is occasionally seen within the Dendrelaphis genus as an anomaly, but in the case of D. oliveri, this in combination with the presence of a black-white-black ventrolateral is unique to it, and with D. effrenis, all recorded specimens showed a lack of a loreal scale. These observations show, that the lack of a loreal scale is a key identifier of these two species.

Distribution
Only one single specimen of D. oliveri has ever been recorded, and that is E. H. Taylor's original specimen from 1950. The specimen currently resides at the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History.

The type-locality for D. oliveri is stated as north of Trincomalee based on Taylor's original catalog notes. However, this cannot be verified as no other specimen has been ever found since in the area. Therefore, it is possible that D. oliveri is not from this area and for that matter not from even Sri Lanka.

Behavior
D. oliveri is arboreal and diurnal.

Reproduction
D. oliveri is oviparous.

title: Language (The Contortionist album)

text:
Language is the third studio album by American progressive metal band The Contortionist. The album was released under eOne Music/Good Fight Entertainment on September 16, 2014. It is the first studio album to feature Michael Lessard of Last Chance to Reason, who replaced Jonathan Carpenter. The album debuted at #52 on the Billboard 200 chart, as well as #6 on the "Hard Rock" chart and #15 on the "Rock" chart.

Background
The band started the writing process in January - a short update was posted via Facebook stating on January 16, "Writing ... excited for the next album!" Throughout the month of April the band made several updates, one revealed that they entered the studio with producer Jamie King at The Basement Recording Studio. On April 23, the band released a final statement, "That's a wrap. The album is recorded. Jamie King is a genius. We couldn't be more excited about this."

On June 26, both, the album title and release date were announced. The first album teaser was uploaded to YouTube on June 30. On July 9, the rest of the album details were revealed: artwork, track-listing, and various pre-order bundles. The song "Language I: Intuition" was made available for purchase via iTunes on July 14. On August 26, Alternative Press premiered the music video for "Language I: Intuition". The album's second single, "Primordial Sound", premiered on MetalSucks.net Tuesday, September 2.

Rediscovered edition
A "Rediscovered" version of the LP was released on November 24, 2015. The new version contains four re-worked tracks accompanied by four live session music videos. "Rediscovered was the result of our music naturally leading itself through new ideas developed onstage and in rehearsal. In a way, you could think of it as an artistically selfish move: we want these songs to continue their evolution and life. I can't wait to do something like this again. Reinterpreting the songs after months of experimenting onstage keeps the experience and energy fresh for everyone that celebrates them with us," said keyboardist, Eric Guenther. Commenting on the release, vocalist Michael Lessard stated: “We are very excited to finally share this rerelease of Language with everyone! We wanted to sit down with the songs that we’ve spent the last 14 months playing around the world, and give people a chance to see them in a new light. It’s been a pleasure getting a chance to rediscover these tracks and we hope everyone enjoys!” Videos for each rediscovered track were filmed by director Erez Bader, recorded/engineered by John Douglass and mixed and mastered by Jamie King. The live session video for "Language (Rediscovered)" was uploaded to YouTube on December 15, 2015 via eOneMusicUS.

Critical reception

Language peaked at #52 on the Billboard 200 while receiving nearly universal acclaim among progressive metal circles.

Jeff Stevens of Prog Metal Zone said the album "strikes a seamless balance between heavy technicality and a strong progressive melodic approach along with a very heavy dose of jazz fusion to really make their sound one of the most exciting and sophisticated approaches in modern metal." Chris Grenville of The Monolith described the second and third tracks as "ten of the best minutes of progressive songwriting I’ve heard all year." He went on to draw parallels with previous progressive metal works stating that "comparisons with Cynic are easily made – the light/dark dynamic of the record; the timbre and intensity of the throaty screams; the feeling of weightlessness it gives you."

Weid Reitz of This is Not A Scene praised the album stating "The song concept and structure, as well as sound quality, are superior to any of the band’s previous releases." Chris Kemp of The Circle Pit lauded the band's potential to "lead the way for an entire genre" and concluded his review asserting the album would "take them very far, not just within the Prog metal scene but in all things artistic and entertaining". Stefan Andonov from Djent Mag praises the philosophical approach in the album by stating "Language reviews enormous subjects about the metaphysics in the universe and communication as a celestial phenomenon, the depth of the lyrics is mind-blowing."

As a free agent from the Panthers in the off-season, Samuels-Thomas moved to the neighboring Austrian Hockey League, agreeing to a one-year deal with Croatian-based KHL Medveščak Zagreb on August 1, 2018. In the 2018–19 season, Samuels-Thomas contributed with 11 points through 17 games before opting to leave the club mid-season. On January 18, 2019, having returned to North America, he signed an AHL contract with the Hershey Bears for the remainder of the season and was immediately assigned to ECHL affiliate, the South Carolina Stingrays.

On September 29, 2019, approaching the 2019–20 season, Samuels-Thomas agreed to continue his career in the ECHL, signing with the Worcester Railers. He registered 11 goals and 29 points in 33 games with the Railers, before leaving the club to return to Europe for the remainder of the season, agreeing to a contract with German DEL2 club, Heilbronner Falken on February 3, 2020.

Officiating career
On January 29, 2021, Samuels-Thomas ended his playing career after six professional seasons and began a career as an official. He was hired on a minor-league contract by the NHL for the 2021–22 season, working a few preseason games with veteran officials. His first official game in the NHL was on April 14, 2022, between the San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks.

title: Michael Yeung

text:
Michael Yeung Ming-cheung (; 1 December 1945 – 3 January 2019) was the eighth Roman Catholic bishop of Hong Kong. He was consecrated on 30 August 2014.

Early life
Yeung Ming-cheung was born in Shanghai in 1945. He completed his primary and secondary schooling and began working for an import-export company in Hong Kong. In 1972 at the age of 26 he entered the Pontifical Urban University to study theology and philosophy and graduated in 1978.

Priest
He was ordained a priest for the diocese of Hong Kong on 10 June 1978. After his ordination he took a variety of pastoral and administrative roles. From 1978 to 1980 he was vicar in Ha Kwai Chung District, New Territories; from 1980 to 1982 he earned an MA in social communications from Syracuse University in the United States. In 1982 he returned to Hong Kong and was appointed director of the office of Social Communications for the diocese. He held this post until 1986. He was then appointed parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes parish, where he served until 1989 when he was appointed chaplain at Yu C.K. Memorial College. He returned to the United States to study at Harvard University where in 1990 he earned a Master's in Education (Ed.M.). He returned to Hong Kong in 1990 and held the post of director of the office of education until 2013. He was the head of Caritas Hong Kong and was appointed vicar general of the diocese in 2009. He was later appointed a member of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum.

Bishop
On 11 July 2014, Pope Francis appointed him Titular Bishop of Mons in Numidia and named him one of three Auxiliary Bishops of Hong Kong along with Joseph Ha Chi-shing, O.F.M. and Stephen Lee Bun-sang. Consecrated on 30 August 2014, Yeung was appointed the coadjutor bishop of the diocese on 13 November 2016, and succeeded Cardinal John Tong Hon as the Bishop of Hong Kong on 1 August 2017. On 27 June 2018, AsiaNews reported that Yeung had tendered his resignation to Pope Francis in order to dedicate himself to Caritas. Yeung said he had only suggested that he would like to work for Caritas when he retired from his Hong Kong position. He received two honorary doctorates: one in Social Science from the Open University of Hong Kong, and another one from the Australian Catholic University.

Illness and death
Yeung reportedly tripped over his alb and injured himself when stepping upstairs before celebrating a Mass in December 2018. He made his last public appearance when he celebrated the Christmas Eve Midnight Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception the same month. Beginning 27 December 2018, Yeung underwent treatment for liver failure brought on by cirrhosis at the Canossa Hospital. He died at 1:30pm (Hong Kong time) on 3 January 2019 from the illness. Following Yeung's death, Pope Francis appointed Cardinal Tong apostolic administrator to lead the diocese until an appointment of a new bishop. Stephen Chow was appointed Bishop of Hong Kong on 17 May 2021 and will be consecrated bishop and installed on 4 December 2021.

Public stances

Throughout his career as a Catholic clergyman, Yeung was at the center of various controversies. He was criticized for comparing participants of the 2014 Hong Kong protests, as well as homosexuals, to those who use drugs.

Yeung's close ties with Carrie Lam, the 5th Chief Executive of Hong Kong, were also a source of controversy. Yeung said Lam is a Catholic, and he had good ties with her for years. Yeung also said he knew her on a professional level, during her time as the Director of the Social Welfare Department, and that he had no reasons to reject her, and sever ties. Yeung's ties with the rich and powerful in Hong Kong has also been a source of criticism.

Yeung was also criticized for allegedly defending mainland Chinese authorities during a news conference over controversies concerning the removal of crucifixes from church buildings or demolition of churches.  He also said that, since China has regulations on religion, he will respect their rules.

title: Florence Deeks

text:
Florence Amelia Deeks (1864–1959) was a Canadian teacher and writer. She is known for accusing British writer H. G. Wells of having plagiarized her work when he wrote The Outline of History. The case was eventually taken to the Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council,  the highest court in the British Empire, which rejected her claim.

Early years

Florence Amelia Deeks was born in 1864 and grew up in [[Morrisburg, Ontario}Morrisburg]], Canada West, in a religious family. Her mother, Melinda, was a strong believer in education. Her brother George found a new way to lay railway tracks, which enabled him to earn a fortune. He provided important financial support to his family, including Florence during the later legal trials. By her own account she spent most of her twenties travelling in Europe and America, studying literature and art. When Florence was thirty she was admitted to Victoria College in the University of Toronto. She studied there for several years, then became a teacher at the Presbyterian Ladies College.

Deeks probably joined the Women's Art Association of Canada in the mid-1890s, although the first record of her membership is from 1903. In 1912 she prepared a "historical sketch" of the early years of the association. She was active in other women's groups and was the recording secretary for the Toronto women's Liberal Club.

Web of the World's Romance

Deeks decided to write a history of the world that showed the contributions that women had made.
Her aim was to demonstrate the importance of women such as Lucrezia de' Medici, Elizabeth I of England and Margarethe, mother of Martin Luther. She spent four years researching and writing, with the support of her mother, sisters and brother. The manuscript of The Web of the World's Romance was complete by February 1918.
Deeks submitted it to Macmillan Company in Canada, asking if they would object to her using extracts from A Short History of the English People, a book for which they held the copyright.
Deeks entrusted the manuscript to Macmillan in August 1918, and it was returned to her in April 1919.
The manuscript was well-thumbed and dog-eared. Macmillan had rejected it.

Legal struggles

Deeks later came across H. G. Wells' The Outline of History (published 1919-1920), and was struck by the similarities to her work, but she had no proof that Wells had seen her manuscript. Over the next few years she consulted with experts and analyzed the similarities. The Rev. William Andrew Irwin, then an associate professor of Old Testament Languages and Literature at the University of Toronto agreed to help her. He was interested in applying the same methods of textual analysis and comparison he used in his studies of ancient literature.
He considered that there was convincing proof of plagiarism.

Deeks launched her suit in 1928.
Deeks claimed breach of copyright, but in substance she was claiming breach of confidence in the use of her manuscript without consent.
She sued Wells and Macmillan for damages of CDN$500,000 in the Supreme Court of Ontario.
The trial judge, Mr Justice Raney, found that Irwin's results were "fantastic hypotheses ... solemn nonsense ... comparisons without significance."
Her case was dismissed.
She then appealed to the Appellate Division of the Ontario Supreme Court, appearing on her own behalf without a lawyer.
The Appellate Division unanimously dismissed the appeal.

Deeks finally appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London, the final court of appeal in the British Empire.
She could no longer afford a lawyer, so argued her own case in front of the Judicial Committee on 1 October 1932.
A month later, on 3 November 1932, the Judicial Committee dismissed her appeal.  Lord Atkin gave the decision for the Committee.  He stated that evidence presented on the basis of literary criticism is not admissible in a court of law, and  upheld the decisions of the lower courts.

Assessment

Although the wording of the two books is rarely identical, in some cases the same mistakes appear in both books.
However, it was sworn on oath at the trial that the manuscript remained in Toronto in the safekeeping of Macmillan, and that Wells did not even know it existed, let alone had seen it.
The court found no proof of copying, and decided the similarities were due to the fact that the books had similar nature and both writers had access to the same sources.

The case may have been lost in part due to bias against Deeks as a woman.
Deeks' lack of influential connections may also have been a factor.
A 2001 book by A. B. McKillop, a Canadian historian, explores the case in detail. Although the author clearly believes that Wells plagiarized Deeks' work, he presents no definitive proof.
Three years after McKillop's book appeared, Denis Magnusson, Professor Emeritus and former Dean of Law at Queen's University, Kingston, wrote an article responding to McKillop's thesis.  Magnusson concluded that while Deeks may have received some discriminatory treatment from lawyers in the case, she was treated fairly by the courts.
He concludes she had a weak case, and the courts would give a similar result if the case came forward at the present time.

Death

Deeks died in 1959, aged about 95.

Although receiving some critical reviews from publications such as AllMusic and Renowned for Sound, both of which have argued that the album starts off strong yet grows weaker in subsequent tracks, the release has been a commercial success. It debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart, knocking off the multi-week hold on the chart by x by Ed Sheeran.

Examples of songs performed by Collabro in the album include "Bring Him Home" (from Les Misérables), "Let It Go" (from Frozen), and "Somewhere" (from West Side Story). The work has picked up mixed critical reviews, with AllMusic for example running a review that opined that the group needed more time to develop. However, the album has received a great deal of success such as in terms of international sales; in terms of the U.S., for instance, it reached #15 in the Top Heatseekers chart published by Billboard.

Background
Collabro won the eighth series of Britain's Got Talent on 8 June 2014. After they won, it was announced that they had signed to show judge Simon Cowell's record label Syco Music and would be releasing their debut studio album Stars in August 2014. It was also announced that they, along with show runner-up Lucy Kay, would go on tour together in 2015.

In an interview with Digital Spy, the band explained that the nature of being a musical theatre act means they don't consider their new album a collection of cover versions. Jamie Lambert said, "I mean, people say it's covers, but they're not really, If you cover someone else's song, a pop song, that's a cover; we're not covering musical theatre songs, we're actually performing them – that's the difference. Because otherwise, anyone who'd ever sang musical theatre would be doing a cover of someone else and that's not the case. You know, with musical theatre you take on a character so I think that that's our argument with it. We're not doing covers, we're a musical theatre band, we're performing roles, and that's the difference." He also said, "And I don't think there'll be a backlash, I genuinely think we have a very dedicated fan base, it's an amazing sound, and I really hope everyone loves it."

Critical reception

Stars has received mixed to negative reviews from several critics in various publications. Criticism was mainly focused on the fact that the album's nature of having covers without any new, original songs made it sound reminiscent of 'karaoke'. For example, Renowned for Sound gave a somewhat negative review that awarded the album two and a half stars out of five. The website's critic praised the beginning of the album but also argued, "Collabro’s drive for timely perfection result in covers that are charmless compared to the originals."

The publication Young Post awarded the album three stars out of five, stating that the band members "sometimes try too hard" while still praising their maturity on the track "Bring Him Home" (a song from the musical Les Misérables). In addition, Allmusic published a mixed though mostly supportive review by critic Timothy Monger that also cited "Bring Him Home" as well as "Stars" as highlights of the album. He remarked that the group appeared "at their strongest here as musical thespians" in terms of song choice, and he felt that the "familiar" sounding work revealed that Collabro needed time to "develop off-camera".

Chart performance
On 24 August 2014, Stars debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, ending Ed Sheeran's eight-week run at number one with his album x. It sold 49,749 copies in its first week. It dropped down three places to number four the following week, staying in the top 10 for four weeks. As of March 2017, Stars has sold 209,516 copies in the UK. Stars has received a considerable amount of international success as well. In the U.S., it reached #15 in the Top Heatseekers chart published by Billboard.
