title: Essonne's 1st constituency

text:
The 1st constituency of Essonne is a French legislative constituency in the Essonne département.

Description

The 1st constituency of Essonne has changed radically since it was first created. Its latest incarnation is a densely packed urban seat including the towns of Corbeil-Essonnes and Évry both of which form part of the sprawl of suburbs along the A6 motorway heading south from Paris.

Politically the seat has been rock solid for the left since the early 1970s. The constituency was represented by Prime Minister of France Manuel Valls for ten years between 2002 and 2012. He was replaced upon his appointment to the government of Jean-Marc Ayrault by Carlos Da Silva. In the 2017 legislative elections Valls was again elected as the representative.

title: Vosaroxin

text:
Vosaroxin (AG-7352, SPC-595, SNS 595, voreloxin) is a topoisomerase II inhibitor causing site-selective DNA damage. It is under phase III clinical trial investigation for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and ovarian cancer sponsored by Sunesis.

Mechanism of action
Vosaroxin is a naphthyridine analog of the anticancer quinolone derivatives (AQDs), a class of compounds that has not been used previously for the treatment of cancer. Topoisomerase II enzymes are essential for the survival of eukaryotic cells. Vosaroxin hinders the reunion of topoisomerase II-induced double-strand breaks at selective sites in DNA, resulting in G2 arrest and cell death by apoptosis.

title: ARQ-M

text:
ARQ-M, short for Automatic Repeat reQuest, Multiplex, is a radio telegraphy protocol used to reliably forward telex messages over partially reliable radio links. It is a low-speed system designed to match the performance of landline telex systems and allow those messages to be forwarded over long distances using shortwave radios. The first ARQ-M link was built in the Netherlands, and began exchanging messages with a counterpart in New York in 1947.

ARQ-M is similar in concept to ARQ-E, but ARQ-E has no multiplex capability and uses a different 7-bit alphabet.

History
The telex system, which developed out of the telegraph system, is based on defined electric current levels that are interpreted as a mark or space signal. These are normally sent over well-defined networks with considerable infrastructure that keeps error rates very low. In contrast, radio communications are subject to a wide variety of noises and other signal problems that leads to losses. To forward telex messages successfully over radio links, some form of error correction should be applied.

ARQ-M was developed to automatically deal with errors. The automatic repeat request system was invented by Hendrik van Duuren of the Netherlands in the 1940s and so it became known as the Van Duuren automatic error correction system. The seven unit code used was called the Van Duuren code.

ARQ was first used commercially in 1947 with a link from Amsterdam to New York with the master station in Amsterdam. In May 1950 the TEX (Overseas teleprinter exchange) service between New York and Amsterdam started. TEX was an early name for TELEX which is a system to allow automatic routing of private messages from a sender to a receiver on the TELEX network.  Prior to the introduction or ARQ-M there were so many errors in the messages received that staff from the telecommunications companies had to manually check messages and conform correct receipt. Once ARQ-M was introduced, messages could be automatically and reliably sent over long distances via shortwave radio, and so was introduced into automatic systems. By 1956 ARQ radio circuits were running from New York to Amsterdam, Berne, Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Paramaribo, Paris, Rome, and Wien, with plans for Copenhagen, Lisbon, Madrid, and Oslo. Amsterdam had radio links to Berne, Curaçao, Jakarta, Paramaribo and Rome. Brussels linked to Leopoldville.  Frankfurt was connected to Madrid and Rome with plans for Buenos Aires. A link from Madrid to Canary Islands was planned.  By 1959 most radio circuits for Telex were using ARQ. International shortwave ARQ data links have been replaced by undersea cables and satellite circuits.

The New Zealand Post Office used a two channel multiplex ARQ system to communicate on two circuits between Wellington and Vancouver and Sydney over shortwave radio for a few years till 1961. The radio link was available for 22 or 23 hours a day, and could improve the error rate from 1% to 0.001%. In 1961 the radio system became a backup for the primary Commonwealth Pacific Cable System (COMPAC) undersea cable, with telegraph operations conducted using voice frequency telegraphy over telephone channels instead.

The Department of Transport in Australia used to run several multiplexed ARQ data links to remote airports prior to the use of AUSSAT. These were calls the aeronautical fixed teletype network. It was used to communicate aeronautical and meteorological data.  A station at Perth, VZPH and VKP communicated with Cocos Island VZCC, Port Hedland VZPD, Darwin VZPM, and Sydney VZSY.  The stations in Sydney (Pernrith Rx, Llandilo Tx) communicated with Alice Springs, VZAS, Mount Isa, VZMA, Norfolk Island VZNF, and Lord Howe Island, VZLH. International radioteletype links connected Sydney (as VLS3) to Singapore on 9ME and Jakarta 8BB.

Radio Corporation of America, who were the first in USA to use ARQ-M, named their ARQ equipment "automatic error reduction and correction equipment".

By 1990 use of ARQ-M had reduced.  However it was still used by French Forces to communicate between Paris, and N'Djamena, Djibouti, Port de France, Papeete, Dakar, Port-Bouët, Le Port, Reunion. One link ran between Companhia Portuguesa Radio Marconi in Lisbon and the Vatican. The British Royal Army, Navy and Air force still used it from England and Gibraltar. Moscow had a link with Kabul, Havana and Hanoi. ASECNA had a network of west African airports.  Moroni in the Comoros has a link to Paris, Stockholm had a link to Ho Chi Minh City, and Brussels had a link to Kinshasa. Canadian armed forces used shortwave radio as satellite links into the Arctic are difficult.  Martin-de-Viviès, and Port-aux-Français connected back to France for Direction des Telecommunications des Reseaux Exterieurs.

On 17 November 2005 the European patent office rejected an appeal about overturned patent number 0309763 from NEC which attempted to patent a multiplexing system, after they agreed that it did not add anything new beyond European patent 0099101 A and the Siemens Elmux 1000.

Description

ARQ-M is a duplex radio communications protocol used to ensure that data is transmitted correctly over a partially unreliable radio path.

Data is encoded using 7 unit binary codes sent using a seven bit error detecting code called Van Duuren code or CCITT Telegraph Alphabet No. 3. The data is sent in two channels labelled A and B, or four channels labeled A, B, C and D.  Data from the different channels are interleaved using a time division multiplex system. The two channel system is called ARQ-M2, the four channel system is called ARQ-M4.

In order to synchronise to the synchronous data stream the encoded characters can be sent erect or inverted.  Inverted means that the 0 and 1 are swapped, whereas erect means that the character is sent without modification. There are two possible channel arrangements depending on the latency of the circuit.  For normal latency the cycle consists of four characters, and if the channel has extra long latency it has eight characters.  Channel A (or C) has one character inverted followed by either three or seven erect characters. Channel B (or D) has one character erect followed by either three or seven inverted characters.

Transmission rates
There are several standard transmission rates.  The preferred standard rates are 96 baud for the two channel system and 192 baud for the four channel system.  These rates allowed running at the same speed as 50 baud Telex landline systems.  The transmission cycle was  ms long.  Another standard rate allowed interoperation with 45 baud networks, with a repetition cycle lasting  ms and baud rates of  and  for the two and four channel systems. The fastest standard speed used 100 and 200 baud, with a transmission cycle of 140 ms and was incompatible with land based networks, but more commonly used for point to point links.

Performance
Two performance measures give quality characteristics of an ARQ-M link.  These are error rate and throughput.  Residual errors can be due to transpositions of the symbol elements or double errors.  The chances that this happens is about 100 to 1000 times less than for a working unprotected link.  A log graph of residual error rate against raw error rate shows a steeper line with slope 2 intercepting at 100% errors. If the unprotected 5 unit code had an error rate of 1%, the ARQ-M protected code error rate is 0.0025%.

Throughput is reduced by errors. If the raw error rate increases to 3% the link will be blocked all the time with retransmissions. Each transmitted cycle of 28 bits has a  likely chance of an error in these conditions.  An eight character repeat cycle has twice the impact. At 1% raw errors the throughput for the 4 character cycle system is about 80%. On real equipment, an efficiency meter may indicate how good the throughput is.

Alphabet
The alphabet used in the ARQ-M protocol is based on the CCITT Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 more commonly known as Baudot.  This alphabet has five bits, and therefore has 25 or 32 different possible symbols. It uses letters shift and figures shifts to select different sets of characters similar to a typewriter. The ARQ-M alphabet being synchronous always has to send data and does not have gaps between characters. It does not include start and stop bits that would be used in asynchronous transmissions and so saves on those two bits per character.  In asynchronous transmissions a steady stop signal indicates that there is nothing to send. A prolonged start signal can be used for signalling, for example to select a destination for a telex connection.

The ARQ-M characters are remapped to a seven bit system so that there are always three bits on and four bits off. The ARQ code is a Moore code, which can detect the modification of any single bit. This alphabet is CCITT Telegraph Alphabet No. 3 aka TOR No. 3. This differs from the alphabet used in the ARQ-E single channel system.  Three additional control signals are added to the 32 from the Baudot set.  Out of 128 seven bit characters there are 35 that have three one bits set, so allowing for the 32 Baudot and three control codes to just be accommodated. The extra control characters are RQ, meaning request repeat, α meaning constant space condition, which may indicate the end of a connection (break signal) or be used to signal information, such as a number to connect to, and the β character, meaning constant mark condition, used when there is nothing to send. The RQ signal is also called Signal Roman one and may be designated "I".

The number of one bits is checked by the receiver to tell if an error has occurred in the transmission of the character. There should be three ones in each character received. The return channel will include the RQ signal if an error is detected.

 ltrs is the symbol to activate the letters shift.
 figs is the symbol to activate figures shift.
 Space is equivalent to the space bar
 cr is carriage return
 lf is line feed
 Blank entries have undefined meaning in international communications, but may be defined within a country.

The code was invented by Hendrick van Duuren during World War II, and so has been called van Duuren code.

Marking
Seven bit characters have the alternative to be sent erect, meaning that 0 stays as 0 and 1 stays as 1, or inverted where each 0 changes to 1 and 1 changes to 0.  The standard specifies a marking pattern which says which characters are erect and which are inverted in a particular pattern, that enables the system phase, channel and subchannel to be determined.  Since the system is synchronous there is no start bit, and a receiver has to examine the bit stream to tell where the start of a marked cycle is.  When system phase is established the correct received bit can be assigned to the correct place in each character in each channel.  The receiver can determine that system phase is established as each character will contain three one bits and four zero bits. In recommendation 342-2 here are two different marking lengths schemes.  For the four character repetition cycle, Channel A is encoded ↓↑↑↑ (4333) and channel B is marked ↑↓↓↓ (3444). These are combined in a time division multiplex method with characters in the order A1 B4 A2 B1 A3 B2 A4 B3 resulting in a marking pattern ↓↓↑↑↑↓↑↓ (44333434 one bits) to match the first character from channel A at the start.

For the eight character repetition cycle, Channel A is encoded ↓↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ (43333333) and channel B is marked ↑↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ (34444444). The combination marking pattern ↓↓↑↑↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓ (4433343434343434 one bits).  In practice the eight character repetition cycle has not been observed in use on the airwaves.

In a four channel system, channel C is encoded the same way as channel B, and channel D the same as for channel A. Bits for channel C are interleaved with channel A and those for D interleaved with channel B. Elements of A come before C, and B come before D.

In CCIR recommendation 242 the marking is much simpler with the A channel erect and the B channel inverted.

Subchannels
Each of the two or four channels has the option to be split into four subchannels so that more streams of data can be sent, but at lower rates.  These subchannels are numbered 1 to 4.  The subchannel numbered 1 is identified by being the character that has the different polarity from the others in the stream.  So the subchannels will be arranged like this in the multiplex 4CRC stream where italic means inverted:

A1 B4 A2 B1 A3 B2 A4 B3

If a data stream that is half rate is required, then subchannels 1 and 3, or 2 and 4 are combined. A three quarter rate subchannel can be made by combining subchannels 2, 3 and 4.  If one half-rate and two quarter rates are required the half-rate gets subchannels 2 and 4. The facility to split the channel is called a channel divider.  It would provide a stop signal during the time when a sub-rate user is not receiving a character.  Costs for such a circuit were lower than for a full rate. The marking system used enables the receiver to determine the subchannel order.

In practice use of subchannels has not been observed although international partial rate fixed services were once available.

System setup
In order to have a functioning system, a circuit has to be set up consisting of two transmissions in both directions.  One station will be the master, and the other will be the slave station.  The slave station will determine its timing from the master station.

The first stage is automatic phasing, also called phase hunting, where each end will determine the correct phase of the character stream.  During this stage a receiver will slip a bit until system phase is achieved and the system phase matches the marking pattern. The slave station is supposed to send seven bits 0000000 or 1111111 in place of the signal repetition.

Once synchronisation is achieved data can be transferred.  The mark signal will be sent to the connected equipment so signal that the circuit is available. As characters are received at one end they will be inverted according to the marking pattern and checked for the present of three 1 (mark) symbols.  If it is an error, a RQ character is sent on the return path.  No characters are sent on from the receiver for a period of four character times.  If an RQ character is received, then the transmitter will start a BQ-cycle in response, send an RQ character and repeat the last three characters sent. This phase of operation is called cycling as the same four characters will be recycled. Hopefully the receiver will have good reception of these and then forward them. If not the RQ will re sent again and repetition attempted.

Standards
ARQ-M is recommended by CCIR 342-2 (now called ITU-R F.342-2) and earlier CCIR 242.

ARQ-M was standardised by the Comité consultatif international pour la radio. The XII Plenary session in New Delhi in 1970 approved recommendation 342-2 Automatic error-correcting system for telegraph signals transmitted over radio circuits.  The CCITT produced recommendation S.13  Use on radio circuits of 7-unit synchronous systems giving error correction by automatic repetition.

The earlier Recommendation 242 is not compatible with F.342-2. This had an equivalent CCIT document approved in 1956 at Geneva C.24.

Alternative names for ARQ-M are TDM, TDM-242, TDM-342 or 96-TDM. ARQ-M2 is also known as TDM-2, or ARQ-28, and the ARQ-M4 variant is known as TDM-4, or ARQ-56.

Equipment
Companies that manufactured equipment for this system were found in Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Switzerland, and USA. The companies include RCA, the Marconi HU121, and the Electra Mux.

Hasler from Berne in Switzerland made a four channel TOR (Telex on Radio) system.

RCA called their equipment RCA Electronic Multiplex.

Siemens AG made an ARQ terminal in 1956 called Multiplex-Funkfernschreibanlage MUX 4D 7a, and later a two channel ARQ terminal called the Elmux 1000.

The equipment for the ARQ-M systems contained a receive side and a transmit side.  Each channel also had supporting circuitry for channel A and B, and C and D if present.  Each subchannel also had supporting circuitry controlled by a channel divider.

The channel divider has output control lines for each subchannel A1 A2 A3 A4 B1 ... for both receive and transmit sides.  The signals from the divider outputs are combined with and-gates in the subchannel circuitry.  Each subchannel  on the send section side includes a serial to parallel converter, and a tripping pulse that clocks in the next character. On the receive section side and output buffer is driven by the and-gate that picks the channel receive character selected by the channel divider signal at the appropriate time.

On the send section the channel circuit includes a delay line feeding a repetition storage. The common send section circuit includes a code translator that changes the five bit code to the seven bit code. Next the seven bit character goes to an output shift register, and then to a polarity inverter. For a four channel system the bits would then be interleaved between AB and CD channels. The final send step is a tone modulator and output circuit. The tone is modulated using frequency-shift keying. The 0 (or space) signal picks out a lower frequency, and the 1 ( or mark signal) picks out a higher frequency.  This signal to frequency conversion may be inverted, and this is common below 10 MHz.

On the receive section the signal from the radio receiver comes to a tone demodulator, then a polarity inverter, and then to an error checking circuit, and at the same time to an input shift register that converts from serial to parallel. Next it goes to a code translator to convert from seven bits to five bits.  From here the five bit code goes to a parallel to serial converter, controlled by a repetition cycle timer on the receive side.

Interoperation
Because the telex network does not give feedback to a sender about when a message is delivered, and a shortwave ARQ link may or may not be available, systems with ARQ links set them up to be store and forward half duplex systems.  This means that a telex sender transmits their telegram in full to the message centre that then stores and forwards the message over the shortwave link when it is available.  Call charges were calculated for the time when the link was running without errors, either at six or ten second increments. CCITT recommended not charging if reliability was below 80%, and to give a busy signal if reliability was not satisfactory.

Signalling is needed to determine the start and end of a call, and the destination of the connection.  Two systems have been used, signalling system B CCITT U1 and CCITT U20.  An international telex exchange would have signalling conversion facilities.

Monitoring
For radio spectrum monitors, ARQ-M is classified as a digital mode, and radio stations that use it will be termed utility stations. Two stations communicating with ARQ-M will use two different frequencies as data is continuously transmitted in each direction.  Channels are often running in idle mode and have a rhythmic sound, as the symbol pattern repeats every  second.  A fax machine running at 240 lines per minute can record the overall pattern of symbols.  Such a chart will show 24 pulses on each line for a two channel system, forming columns down the page. Timing is very accurate with each symbol lasting the same time of 10.416666 ms. This is the duration for 96 baud elements.

Software is available to receive and decode utility transmissions that use ARQ-M including Go2MONITOR, and there is also hardware such as the Code300-A from Hoka Electronic, and Wavecom M 4010.

text:
Share is a 2015 American short drama film written and directed by Pippa Bianco, and starring Taissa Farmiga, Keir Gilchrist, Madisen Beaty, and Andre Royo. It follows a teenage girl (Farmiga) as she returns to school after an explicit video of her goes viral online.

Share had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 14, 2015, where it won the Special Jury Recognition Award for Narrative Short. It was then selected as the only American short film at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the first prize Cinéfondation Award. The film received a limited window online release on May 3, 2016 by Memory.

Plot
High schooler Krystal Williams receives various text messages from friends asking whether she is the girl featured in a sexual assault video. As she watches the video, she immediately becomes upset. At school the following day, her best friend Jenna is surprised that she has shown up given the circumstances. In the middle of class, Krystal notices her boyfriend Dylan using his phone, and decides to send him a text message. While composing the message, she receives another text with the video attached, and accidentally plays it out loud.

Her teacher Mr. White notices the sound and takes away her phone, telling her to come back at the end of the day to collect it. Once school ends, she retrieves her phone from Mr. White, who asks if everything is okay. On her way out of school, Dylan follows Krystal to the parking lot and the two talk about the situation. Krystal wonders if more than one person was in the room at the time of her assault, to which Dylan says he doesn't know. Back at home, Krystal ignores the text messages she is receiving on her phone.

Pippa Bianco wrote a screenplay for Share, which was then selected as one of eight short films for the 2014 American Film Institute's Directing Workshop for Women. The annual program requires all of its participants to complete a short film within the year of selection. Bianco collaborated with producers Tyler Byrne (Blue Ruin), Andrew Kelly and Danielle Oexmann to produce the short film. Carly Hugo (The War Boys, Higher Ground) also served as an executive producer. The budget of the film was partially funded from donations through the crowdfunding website Indiegogo. Part of the money donated was given to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) because of the subject matter involved in the film.

Casting
On August 27, 2014, director Pippa Bianco officially confirmed the principal cast members of the film and their subsequent roles through the film's Indiegogo page. Taissa Farmiga portrays Krystal Williams, the lead character and the victim of sexual assault; Keir Gilchrist plays the role of Krystal's boyfriend Dylan, the boy who made the video; Madisen Beaty portrays Jenna, Krystal's best friend; and Andre Royo portrays Krystal's concerned teacher Mr. White.

Filming
Principal photography for the film occurred over four days – beginning on July 28, 2014 – and took place in various locations around Los Angeles County, including Ramona Convent Secondary School in Alhambra, California and South Gate Middle School in South Gate, California. Filming concluded for the project on July 31, 2014.

Release
Share had its world premiere on March 14, 2015 at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. The film then premiered at the Directing Workshop for Women Showcase in Los Angeles on May 14, 2015. The film had its European premiere at the 68th Cannes Film Festival, where it was chosen as the only American short film in the official program.

Share also played in Toronto on September 12, 2015 as part of Memory's Program No. 1, and screened at the Raindance Film Festival in London on October 4, 2015. The film was released on May 3, 2016 through Vimeo, for a limited time window, as part of Memory Presents: Program No. 1.

Reception

Critical response
Mason Walker of Loser City gave Share a positive review, writing, "From that opening shot, the film, for the most part, stays the course; it rarely lets us out of Krystal's shoes. By manipulating sound and image, Bianco shows us how the trauma of sexual assault and public humiliation can make a mundane school day come horribly alive." Walker added of Farmiga's performance, "Oliver Harwood's editing lingers just long enough to catch some of Taissa Farmiga's most chilling facial expressions. Farmiga's performance has many good qualities, but it's even more notable for what it lacks – namely, artifice. She never overplays Krystal's trauma. Instead, she understands that, like many a high school girl, Krystal is trying to hide it – even if the hiding only makes it shine through with terrible transparency."

Following the film's screening at the Maryland Film Festival, Eric Kohn of IndieWire selected Share as one of the best new American shorts, writing, "Bianco's approach to depicting teen girl Krystal coming to grips with video documentation of her sexual assault is in tune with many tropes of European art cinema – its long, engrossing takes on par with the Dardenne brothers and a voyeuristic quality reminiscent of Michael Haneke."

Accolades

Feature adaptation
In May 2015, it was reported by Variety that the film's writer and director Pippa Bianco is adapting the short into a feature-length screenplay at the production company Parkwood Entertainment. In January 2016, the Sundance Institute picked up the film for their Screenwriters Lab. In March 2017, it was reported that production company A24 had boarded the feature-length adaptation, with newcomer Rhianne Barreto replacing Farmiga in the main role. The full-length film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2019 to generally positive reviews. HBO Films acquired distribution rights to the film, premiering July 27, 2019.

title: Michael Sherard

text:
Michael Sherard (17 July 1910 – 26 December 1998) was a British fashion designer and a member of the Incorporated Society of London Fashion Designers, which represented the British couture industry in the wartime and post-war years. Operating his own label from the 1940s to 1960s, he is remembered primarily for his evening and occasion gowns. He also helped train future British designers, including Caroline Charles, and was later a design academic.

Early life and career
Michael Sherard was born Malcolm Henry Sherrard, recorded in portraits of his family now held by the National Portrait Gallery. Later he would change his professional name, but insist that he was not a couturier but a dressmaker. Eustace and Ida Sherrard had five other sons and lived in Kingston-upon-Thames, then part of the county of Surrey. Sherard's father was a City solicitor and his grandfather George C. Sherrard had been mayor of Kingston three times.

Sherard was educated at Berkhamsted School, where one of his teachers developed his love of the classics and encouraged his interest in drawing and theatre. He refused to follow his father and study law and was instead enrolled at Westminster School of Art, graduating in 1931.

He showed his work to Norman Hartnell – already a leading name in London couture – who turned him down as an assistant, recommending that he go to Paris. With his first choice rejecting him, Sherard secured a role as assistant to Peter Russell, known for his no-nonsense manner and designs for country ladies. While the two were not natural soulmates, Sherard did learn the business practicalities of running a couture house, but the stress of his job led to a duodenal ulcer. He spent the war years in the Admiralty as an assistant in the trade division censoring cables.

Establishment of label
One of Peter Russsell's couture clients, the opera singer Ruth Vincent, introduced Sherard to her son John Fraser. The two became business partners and the Michael Sherard showroom opened in 1945 at 24 Connaught Street, Marble Arch; much of the financial backing came from their families. When the business opened, Peter Russell – who had by now also lost his client Ruth Vincent to Norman Hartnell because of his temper – is said to have remarked that Sherard was: "the wrong side of Edgware Road".

Although Sherard's salon was not in the best London location, his charm and attention to detail soon drew prestigious clients, including Margot Fonteyn, Margaret Lockwood, Phyllis Calvert and Gladys Cooper. One of his early collections was sold to Chicago department store Marshall Field's, a significant boost for his business and British couture's reputation.  In 1948, he joined the Incorporated Society of London Fashion Designers – entrance required a vote from existing members – making him one of the leading names in London fashion design. Sherard not only created gowns for private clients, but also costumes for some 30 West End theatre productions, including The Mousetrap and The Reluctant Debutante, during this period.

His business had support from other members of the family, with his sister-in-law – referred to in a newspaper article simply as "Mrs Sherrard", the wife of his brother Peter – acting as his chief assistant, taking charge of the label's publicity and providing advice on collections.

By 1952, Sherard had accrued enough funds and reputation to move to a new salon in Curzon Street, Mayfair and he also lived in nearby Albany for two years, sharing a grand apartment at a stellar London address with Fraser and two dachshunds Hansel and Humperdinck; it was the location of many parties. The events surrounding the Coronation of Elizabeth II created more business for the firm, with some 40 assistants creating outfits for a growing clientele.

Brand hallmarks
Lavish occasion outfits – whether New Look-inspired ballgowns or slimline and classical sheath dresses – were Sherard's forte and his bestsellers. Throughout the 1950s and early '60s, he developed variations on these themes, such as a black lace and taffeta flamenco-style cocktail dress that is now part of the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) archive and featured in its 2007 exhibition The Golden Age of Couture. A 1961 review of his spring lines syndicated to the US and Canadian press describes his use of the 'wagtail' line (short at the front tapering to long at the back) on jackets. The review noted that he had even used this style to create a bolero with full-length train for the bridal gown in his show's finale.

Later career
In the early 1950s Sherard attempted to branch out into ready-to-wear with a line known as Pumkin, but this proved unsuccessful. In common with other London couturiers, he found business increasingly difficult in the 1960s because of high production costs and the emergence of a new breed of youth-focused ready-to-wear designers. Sherard closed his business in 1964 and went on to lecture at London and Shoreditch Colleges of Fashion as a second career. He was elected fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) in 1966 and also became closely involved with the City liveries, acting as master of the Worshipful Company of Girdlers (1959–60) and helping to organise the rebuilding of Girdlers' Hall (bombed during the war), for which he also laid the foundation stone. The stone laid is inscribed with Sherard's birth name – Malcolm Henry Sherrrard.

Legacy
Caroline Charles was among Sherard's assistants in the 1960s, subsequently moving on to Mary Quant before launching her own couture label that dressed both rock stars and royalty. The designer Murray Arbeid – also noted for his elegant evening gowns – was an assistant at the fashion house. In 2012, Sherard's work formed part of the exhibition Glamour, a retrospective of 100 years of evening wear held at the Bath Museum of Costume. Some of his designs and his work drawings also form part of the V&A fashion archive.

title: Essonne's 2nd constituency

text:
The 2nd constituency of Essonne is a French legislative constituency in the Essonne département. It elects one Member of Parliament to the National Assembly of France.

Description

The 2nd constituency of Essonne is the largest by area in department and covers its rural south and east portions.

The seat  consistently elected Gaullist candidates from its creation in 1967 to 2022, with the sole exception of between 1981 and 1986. There has, however, been substantial boundary changes since then so the results are not strictly comparable. In both 1993 and 1997 the opposition to the mainstream conservative candidate in the second round came from the National Front rather than from the left.

title: Actinia mediterranea

text:
Actinia mediterranea is a common sea anemone found on rocky shores all along its range in the Mediterranean Sea, Portuguese shores and the coast of north western Africa.
Because of its strong resemblance with Actinia equina, they are often confused and share certain common names as Beadlet anemone.

Description
Actinia mediterranea is a solitary anemone fixed on rocks with its cylindrical foot used as a suction pad. Underwater, this anemone displays a large number of short and retractable tentacles arranged in six concentric rows.
The soft body is smooth and bright red with a fine blue border at the foot base. This characteristic blue border is a distinctive point to make the difference with Actinia equina, but size also can help as Actinia mediterranea is a bit larger (5 to 7 cm) than its close relative (3 to 5 cm).

Habitat
Actinia mediterranea lives in the intertidal zone, fixed on rocks usually hidden from the direct sunlight, and can be found both in exposed and sheltered places. This anemone is highly adapted to hard living conditions and can tolerate tides, temperature and salinity variations and also desiccation.
During low tide, the tentacles retract and the anemone resembles a compact blob of red like a small tomato.

Biology
Actinia mediterranea leads a benthic way of life and is an active carnivore, catching its prey at night by displaying its stinging tentacles.
Its diet consists in zooplankton, small fish, tiny crustaceans and organic detritus drifting in the water.

Even if the urticant power of its tentacles is relatively low and is not felt at the level of our hands, it is highly recommended to wash one's hands after having manipulated a species of Actinia because some urticant cells may stay on the hands and they constitute a risk of allergic reaction or burning sensations if a sensitive body part, such as eyelids or lips, get in contact with those residual cells.

title: Pecel lele

text:
Pecel lele or pecak lele is an Indonesian deep-fried Clarias catfish dish originating from Lamongan, East Java, Indonesia.

Dish
It consists of catfish served with traditional sambal chili paste, often served with fried tempeh and/or tofu and steamed rice. It is a popular Javanese dish widely distributed in Indonesian cities, especially in Java. However, it is often associated with Lamongan town, west of Surabaya in East Java, as majority of pecel lele seller hailed from this town. Often served in a street-side humble tent warung in Indonesian cities, pecel lele can be considered as an affordable food for everybody. Today, due to migrations of Javanese people to neighboring countries, pecel lele can also be found in Singapore and Malaysia.

Although it has a similar name, it should not be confused with another Javanese dish, pecel, which is a vegetables dish served in peanut sauce. Pecel lele is not served in peanut sauce, but in sambal terasi (ground chili with shrimp paste sauce) instead. However, some recipes might add a little bit of ground peanuts into their sambals.

In 2000, Delticom AG launched ReifenDirekt.de, its first online shop for end consumers. This was followed in June of the same year by Autoreifenonline.de, the first such outlet for trade customers. In August 2001, Delticom set up its first subsidiary in the form of Delticom Ltd. in the United Kingdom and launched mytyres.co.uk, its first online tyre shop in a non-German speaking country.

In April 2002, the firm was nominated for the German Business Start-Up Award () and achieved a top-three placement in the category for fast-growing companies. From 2003, the firm expanded its existing tyre range by adding engine oils, motor cycle batteries, rear and roof carrier systems and car parts. In November 2003, Delticom won a cash award in the German Internet Prize for its Internet tyre retail concept. In December of the same year, it won the 2003 World Summit Award.

In September 2004, Delticom AG acquired new investors in the form of Nord Holding and RBK (both based in Hanove. permitting further international expansion. A further prize came Delticom's way in October 2004 when it secured third place in the "Deloitte Technology Fast50" Competition. The company won recognition for being one of the fastest growing German technological companies not quoted on the stock exchange.

Delticom has been quoted in the Prime Standard market segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. From 19 December 2008 until 22 June 2015 Delticom Shares have been a part of SDAX. The share is also traded on the Nisax20 Index in Lower Saxony.

title: Ore Oru Gramathiley

text:
Ore Oru Gramathiley () is a 1987 Indian Tamil-language film directed by K. Jyothi Pandian. The film stars Lakshmi and Nizhalgal Ravi. Based on the play Gandhi Gramam () by Vaali, it revolves around a collector who manipulates her caste certificate to get a government job.

The film became controversial for criticising caste based reservations, but was later cleared for release by the Supreme Court of India following changes in the climax, and won the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues.

Production
The film was an adaptation of the stage play Gandhi Gramam by Vaali.

Soundtrack
Soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja.

Reception
C. V. Aravind of The Indian Express praised the film for having a "novel theme", but said the comedy track was "not up to the mark".

Controversies
Ore Oru Gramathiley was initially banned for criticising caste based reservations. The Supreme Court of India later allowed its release, after the producer agreed to make changes in the climax. After it won the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues, a writ plea to have the award nullified was made in the High Court. The plaintiff argued that the conferment of the award should be deemed "illegal" since the film was screened for the jury even before the ban was lifted by the Supreme Court. Ultimately, his efforts were fruitless.

title: The Filthy Tongues

text:
The Filthy Tongues are an alternative rock group from Edinburgh, Scotland, made up of Martin Metcalfe, Fin Wilson and Derek Kelly, who were previously members of Goodbye Mr Mackenzie and Angelfish alongside Shirley Manson. As Isa & the Filthy Tongues with singer Stacey Chavis, the band released two albums.

Isa & the Filthy Tongues
An earlier incarnation of the band, Isa & The Filthy Tongues, featured American singer-songwriter Stacey Chavis on lead vocals. Their first albums, Addiction was released on Circular Records in May 2006. It was re-released in 2009.

Dark Passenger came out through Neon Tetra Records in 2010. Scotland on Sunday compared Metcalfe's performance on "Beautiful Girl" to the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

Isa & The Filthy Tongues contributed the song "Big Star" to the film Spread, directed by fellow Scot David Mackenzie and starring Ashton Kutcher and Anne Heche. They also contributed five songs including the title track to the film New Town Killers directed by Richard Jobson, who co-wrote the song and also sings on "New Town Killers".

Current lineup

In 2014, The Filthy Tongues (appearing without Chavis), released a track titled "Lethe Walks" on YouTube. This track, along with two others, was released in a special limited edition 10" vinyl, as a promo tool for Scenes a book of paintings and poetry by Martin Metcalfe and Paul Hullah.

In 2016, the Filthy Tongues released their first album Jacob's Ladder, named after a staircase cut into Calton Hill in Edinburgh. The Scotsman compared the title track with the work of Nick Cave. The Filthy Tongues toured in 2017 with the Skids, and Metcalfe and Kelly contributed to writing four songs on the 2018 Skids' album Burning Cities which reached number 28 in the charts.

Local football club Hibernian F.C. used the song "Holy Brothers" to launch their Hibernian Reborn campaign in season 2017–18. A new Filthy Tongues album entitled Back To Hell is due to be released on 21 April 2018.

title: San Marino Police Department

text:
For police in the country of San Marino, see Law enforcement in San Marino

The San Marino Police Department is the police department serving San Marino, California. The headquarters of the San Marino Police Department is located at 2200 Huntington Drive, inside of San Marino City Hall. The department employs 25 sworn officers, 7 cadets, and multiple civilian employees. The majority of the police officers are assigned to the operations division which has 22 sworn members, four dispatchers, one parking enforcement officer, two cadets, and one code enforcement officer. The department also has a small detective unit that cooperates with the Sheriff's department crime lab and other agencies to investigate crimes in the city.

History
The San Marino Police Department was founded in 1913 when the city appointed a marshal, Norbert Murray, to handle law enforcement in the city. In the year 1924, Deputy city marshal Ben Parker was appointed as the city's first police chief and at that point the San Marino Police Department was formed.

The department was involved in a major incident when in 1988, a DEA undercover operation went wrong in neighboring Pasadena and two DEA agents were killed and the suspects fled in a car and were chased by police through Pasadena and San Marino until two suspects were killed and one wounded and the suspect's vehicle crashed into a sidewalk on Huntington drive. No San Marino Police officers were injured in the chase.

In 2001, the department encountered a controversy when it fired one of its officers over falsifying a time card by 30 minutes. The controversy was not over the time cards but that by firing the officer his credibility was thrown into question while he was a key witness in a major kidnapping trial.

In late 2011 the department was called to deal with a situation at the home of Tim Sloan, the CFO of Wells Fargo, where 80 to 100 people connected to the occupy movement protested on the lawn of Mr. Sloan's home. The protesters knocked on the door of the home but no one answered and after an hour the police declared it an unlawful assembly and the protesters left peacefully. Several days later the San Marino Police Chief apologized to residents of the area around the home where protesters where after complaints of slow police response and a lack of enforcing trespassing laws.

In July 2014, Police Chief Timothy Harrigan announce that he would retire from the department at the end of 2014 after working in the department for 31 years.   On December 15, 2014, John Incontro, former Los Angeles Police Department Captain, took office as San Marino's Chief of Police.

title: Kreditech

text:
Kreditech (a trading name of Kreditech Holding SSL GmbH) is a German online lender which offers loans to individuals based on their creditworthiness which is analyzed using their online data instead of using traditional credit rating information. Founded in 2012 by Sebastian Diemer and Alexander Graubner-Müller, Kreditech is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany; it particularly focuses its efforts on emerging markets.

Technology
Kreditech uses a self-learning algorithm which analyzes big data. It calculates an individual's credit score in seconds using up to 20,000 data points. Kreditech uses location-based information (GPS), social networking information (likes, friends, locations and posts), hardware data (operating system, browser, etc.), online shopping behavior and general online behavior in order to determine a loan applicant’s creditworthiness.

Operations
Kreditech operates in Poland, Spain, Russia, Romania, and India. The company currently employs 500 people, with the headquarters in Hamburg, Germany. Kreditech currently runs its operations via multiple online lending platforms such as Kredito24.

Funding
In 2014 Kreditech closed a US$40 million Series B round. Värde Partners led the deal together with current shareholder Blumberg Capital. Point Nine Capital and other shareholders also participated in the round.  This funding round was the largest ever for a German financial services tech firm, and is one of the largest rounds in Germany in 2014. From 2012 to 2014, Kreditech raised a total of $65M. In January 2015 the company raised a further $200M in credit line from Victory Park Capital. The company will use the newly obtained funds to further develop its existing product portfolio and expand its operations to new markets. In April 2015 Kreditech was included in Forbes Magazine's list "The Next Billion-Dollar Startups", effectively being the only German company to make the list. In September 2015, Kreditech raised EUR€82.5 million in a Series C financing round led by J.C. Flowers & Co.

Acquisitions
On January 14, 2015, Kreditech has acquired 100% of Kontomierz.pl Sp. z o. o. (Kontomierz) for a seven digit amount plus Kreditech shares. Kontomierz makes software named Kontomatik to verify client identity (KYC) and gain read-only access to bank accounts.  Kreditech stated it will support the expansion of Kontomierz in global markets such as Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Spain.

Criticism
Kreditech Holding SSL GmbH started in February 2012 as kredito OFS GmbH and launched its first platform kredito.de in March 2012.
Kredito.de offered short-term micro loans to customers of up to €400. After launch of the service, Kredito.de was criticized heavily for trying to circumvent German legislation
against usury as customers had to pay for a mandatory "credit-worthiness certificate" which cost €49.90, was valid for 30 days and whose cost was not reflected by the displayed effective interest rate. By German law an effective interest has to be communicated to a customer,
all fees associated with a loan have to be included in the effective interest and the effective interest rate must not be substantially above market interest rates.
Kredito.de was accused of usury by a spokesperson from the "Hamburger Verbraucherzentrale", a German institute for consumer protection, who called the service "dubious".
After a couple of months Kredito.de closed its German platform. The now defunct platform Kredito.de was rebranded and restarted as Kreditech in late 2012. The company no longer offers loans in Germany, and has since eliminated the mandatory purchase of the controversial "credit-worthiness certificates" in all of their markets. While not offering short-term loans in Germany any longer, Kreditech is still criticised for offering short-term loans with effective yearly interest rates of several thousand percent. In Poland, for example, a customer is charged fees equal to an interest rate of 3305% for a 30-day loan with a face value of 502 zlotys. In Mexico a customer is charged fees equivalent
to an effective interest rate of 6231% for a 7-day loan with a face value of 1000 Mexican Peso.

Customer Data Leak
The company had a leak of applicant data in November 2014 which the Hamburg police are investigating.  The information was leaked from within by someone who worked at the company, according to the Kreditech spokesperson.

title: Al-Shaitat

text:
Al-Shaitat (), in Standard Arabic al-Shuʿaytāt, is a Sunni Arab clan which lives in the Deir ez-Zor Governorate in eastern Syria. Its membership numbers between 70,000 and 90,000 and it is led by Sheikh Rafaa Aakla al-Raju. In the local Arab dialect, the "u" is not pronounced and since the ʿayn sound often is not transcribed, the name is written Shaitat, Shaytat, Sheitat, Sheitaat and the like. The last vowel is long, therefore sometimes it is written with a double "a". Henry Field identified the Shaitat as a clan of the Aqaidat.

Conflict with the Islamic State

Since July 2014, the Shaitat clan has been in conflict with the Islamic State. The clan battled to retain control of their area against encroachments by the Islamic State in 2014 but was defeated. Later they were able to push out the Islamic State again but eventually they lost the battle.

In August 2014, Islamic State fighters committed a massacre by shooting, beheading, and crucifying some 700-900+ members of the Shaitat clan over a period of three days. Although Sunnis themselves, it became the bloodiest single atrocity committed by the Islamic State in Syria. The Abu Hamam area, between Mayadin and Hajin, where important parts of the clan lived, has been abandoned with many bodies that remain uncollected.

In mid December 2014, it was reported that a mass grave with some 230 Shaitat clansmen in Deir ez-Zor Governorate was found by their relatives. This brought the number of Shaitat tribal members killed by the Islamic State since summer 2014 to more than 900. Islamic State propaganda in 2015 boasted about the return of some Shaitat civilians but still focused on ongoing tribal opposition.

In 2020 26 more victims from the Shaitat clan were discovered in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor. 25 were identified by relatives and one remained unknown speculated to be from Al-Zubari village. The remains of the identified were reburied in the cemetery in Abu Hamam.

title: Yulen Pereira

text:
Yulen Pereira (born 12 July 1995) is a Spanish épée fencer, silver team medallist in the 2014 European Fencing Championships.

Career

Pereira is the son of Manuel Pereira, Spain's only World champion in épée. He began playing with plastic and foam swords at home when he was four before taking up fencing proper.

His first major medal was a bronze in the 2011 Cadets European Championships in Klagenfurt. In the 2012–13 season he won a bronze medal in the Junior European Championships in Budapest and a silver medal in the Junior World Championships in Poreč. These results caused him to be selected into the senior national team along with José Luis Abajo, Pau Roselló, and Elías Casado. His first senior competition was the Senior World Championships in Budapest. In the individual event, he defeated Switzerland's Benjamin Steffen in the first round, but was stopped right afterwards by World No.1 Rubén Limardo. In the team event, Spain was defeated by Poland in the table of 32. Pereira finished the season No.4 in Junior World rankings.

In the 2013–14 season he earned a silver medal in the European Junior Championships in Jerusalem. He also took part in his first senior Fencing World Cup competition, the Trophée Monal in Paris, where he defeated World No.15 Park Sang-young of Korea, but ceded in the second round to France's Jonathan Bonnaire. At the European Championships in Strasbourg, he was defeated in the second round by Maksym Khvorost of Ukraine. In the team event, Spain created an upset by overcoming France, then Russia. They were defeated by reigning European champions Switzerland and came away with a silver medal in the first European podium for Spanish fencing since Jorge Pina's gold in sabre at the 2007 edition in Ghent. At the World Championships in Kazan Pereira was eliminated by Bas Verwijlen in the preliminary table of 64. In the team event, Spain edged out Kazakhstan in the table of 64, but were defeated by Hungary and finished 15th. Pereira ended up World No.1 in Junior rankings.

title: Lynn Belt Line Street Railway

text:
The Lynn Belt Line Street Railway was a former street railway which was chartered for operation in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1889. The line first operated on May 30, 1890.

Route
The street railway ran from a point near Central Square, through East Lynn, Glenmere, West Lynn, and back to Central Square - a circuit of about six miles.

Demise
In 1892, the Belt Line was purchased by the Lynn and Boston Railroad. When the Eastern Railroad undertook a grade separation project for its Boston-Portland mainline, the line's circuit was disrupted, leading to the use of an alternate, parallel line. Many customers continued to use this alternate line after service to the Belt Line was restored, leading to a motion for abandonment. East Lynn residents protested the abandonment, claiming it would leave them without proper access to the Central and Narrow Gauge railroad stations, as well as several large industries.

title: 2014 Solomon Islands general election

text:
General elections were held in the Solomon Islands on 19 November 2014. Independent candidates won 32 of the 50 seats in the National Parliament, with the Democratic Alliance Party emerging as the largest party with seven seats.

Background
The elections were assisted by the United Nations Development Programme, who wanted to help with "the development of a sustainable, cost effective and inclusive voter registration system to ensure the integrity of the vote."  Previous elections in 2006 were followed by racial rioting, particularly targeting Chinese immigrants.

Electoral system
The 50 members of the National Parliament were elected in single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post system.

Voters had to be at least 18 years old and hold Solomon Islands citizenship. Overseas residents could not vote, and people were disqualified for voting if they had committed a breach of the electoral law, been declared insane, were imprisoned for more than six months, or were under a death sentence.

Candidates had to be at least 21 years old and resident in the constituency in which they ran. Disqualifications included holding dual citizenship, being executives or members of the Electoral Commission, having an undischarged bankruptcy, being imprisoned for more than six months, or being under a death sentence.

Campaign
A total of 443 candidates were nominated to contest the elections, a reduction on the 509 that ran in 2010.

Conduct
In March 2014 a biometric voter registration system was introduced. Transparency Solomon Islands claimed that it had received anecdotal evidence of some candidates purchasing numerous ID cards. However, in May the Electoral Commission stated that it had not received any formal complaints.

Following the elections, an election official attempted to steal a ballot box as it was taken for counting near Auki. After police started chasing the official, he dropped the box and disappeared into the jungle. The head of the Commonwealth election observers group commended the Solomon Islands for a peaceful election process.

Results
Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo lost his seat in the Gizo-Kolombangara constituency, losing to his nephew Jimson Tanangada of the United Democratic Party.

As nearly two-thirds of the MPs returned are independent and the incumbent Prime Minister lost his seat, negotiations began to form a coalition government and select a new Prime Minister.

title: Subcoal

text:
Subcoal is a fractional substitute for coal or lignite which uses processed paper and plastic waste. The fuel pellets can be used as a secondary energy source in industrial furnaces, such as lime kilns and cement kilns, coal-fired power stations and blast furnaces. Subcoal has a caloric value comparable with lignite. The technology was developed by the Dutch chemical company DSM. A study by CE Delft revealed that for the paper-plastic fraction of household waste, the Subcoal route has a better climate and overall environmental score as compared to the incineration in a waste incineration plant.

Production
The technology consists of different treatment stages, depending on the input waste streams. The waste streams are typically purified, with recyclables being collected and sorted out of the waste streams. The waste is dried if necessary. The material is shredded to the required size and turned into pellets, with a diameter of approximately 8 mm. Terms of calorific value, ash content, chlorine contact and moisture content are important to rate the quality of the pellets. The calorific value is comparable with (and sometimes higher than) a few types of coal. The percentage of biomass is fairly high as well; it is more than 50%. Because it is in pellets, Subcoal shows hydrophobic behavior and does not dissolve when the moisture content is increased, which is important when considering external storage. Subcoal is mostly dosed as a ground (pulverized) fuel. Subcoal is commercially used via various grinding media (direct firing); via a hammer mill (12 tons per hour), air-rotor mill (6 tons per hour) and via a bowl mill (4 tons per hour). Cement manufacturers, lime producers and energy providers spray the Subcoal powder with coal powder into their kilns.

Currently, there are two Subcoal producing facilities in the Netherlands, which have a combined output capacity of 80 to 90 thousand tons per year. One is implemented at a cardboard mill in the southern part of the Netherlands, with an annual output of about 15 thousand tons. The biggest is a standalone production facility located in the northern part of the Netherlands, with an annual output of about 70 thousand tons per year.

This team was created for the 2013 AFC U-22 Championship qualification, 2017 SEA Games and participated in the 2019 AFF U-22 Youth Championship.

History
After Harimau Muda project disbanded in 2015, FAM needed a fresh start for the U-23 team where a new set of players was brought in for the team with the creation of SEA Games Project 2017 team which was then announced as the national under-22 team. The players in the current team mainly consist of players with age around 18 to 21 years old where the oldest players will be below the age requirement of 22 years old when 2017 SEA Games in Malaysia started. With bigger pool of players within age of 18-22, the team will also play in other age-restricted tournament as the younger side such as U-21 and U-22 when needed.

The team is considered to be the feeder team for the Malaysia national football team. It is for players under the age of 22 and less. Also in existence are national teams for Under-19s, Under-16s and Under-14s. As long as they are eligible, players can play at any level, hence it is possible for one to play for the U-22s, senior side and then again for the U-22s.
