Willem Johannes Witteveen (; 5 May 195217 July 2014) was a Dutch legal scholar, politician, and author. He was a law professor at Tilburg University (1990–2014) and a Member of the Senate for the Labour Party (1999–2007; 2013–2014). He was also the author of several books about law and politics. Witteveen was killed on 17 July 2014 when the flight he was travelling on, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, was shot down over eastern Ukraine by pro Russian rebels.

Early life and education
Willem Johannes Witteveen was born on 5 May 1952 in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

He was the son of liberal politician Johan Witteveen and Liesbeth de Vries Feijens. He was also the great-grandson of social-democratic politician Floor Wibaut. He had three brothers and a sister.

He went to a public primary Montessori school in Rotterdam and to the public secondary school Rijnlands Lyceum (1964–1970) in Wassenaar. He studied Dutch law at Leiden University (1970–1978) in Leiden.

Career
From 1979 to 1989, he worked as researcher of constitutional law at Leiden University. In 1988, he received his PhD cum laude with the dissertation De retoriek in het recht (The rhetorics of law). From 1990 to his death, he was a law professor at Tilburg University. His fields of expertise were trias politica, legislation, rhetoric, legal theory, and political theory.

Witteveen was a member of the Labour Party since 1994. He was chairman of the party platform committee of the Labour Party in 1998–99. He was a member of the Senate from 1999 to 2007, where he was chairman of the committee for Internal Affairs and the High Councils of State. In the 2007 and 2011 Senate elections, he was at an unelectable position on the candidate list.

From 2007 to his death, he was founding dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Tilburg University. From 2013 to his death, he was again a senator. He was appointed after Pauline Meurs left the Senate.

Witteveen had finished the manuscript of his book De wet als kunstwerk (The law as work of art) shortly before his death. The book was posthumously released in November 2014.

Death
Witteveen was killed on 17 July 2014 at the age of 62, along with his wife Lidwien Heerkens and their daughter Marit Witteveen. They were passengers on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 from Schiphol in the Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, when the airplane was shot down near Hrabove in Ukraine's contested eastern Donetsk region.

Personal life
Like his father, Witteveen was a Universal Sufist. In 1978, he married Lidwien Heerkens; the couple had two children, a daughter Marit and a son Freek. The family lived in Breda in North Brabant.

title: Vasily Anisimoff

text:
Vasily Onisimovich Afanasiev (alias Vasily Anisimovich Anisimoff) was a revolutionary and a propagandist of Marxism as well as a prominent activist and supporter of the Russian and international Socialist movement. He was among the active members of the RSDLP and was a Menshevik. In 1925, Anisimoff became the deputy head of the economic department of the Supreme Soviet of the National Economy of the RSFSR, managing the "Exportles" trust.

Anisimoff was the younger brother of a famous Soviet pedagogue Pyotr Afanasiev, grandfather of the Soviet writer Vladimir Amlinsky, and the great-grandfather of the composer and physicist Vladimir Anisimoff

Biography

Vasily Anisimovich Anisimoff (alias, né Vasily Onisimovich Afanasiev), the youngest child in the family of protopriest Father Onesimus (Onesimus Afanasiev), was born in 1878 in the remote village of Apanasovo-Tamashi of Kazan province (now Kazan region), where his father, a graduate of the , had been sent in the early 1870s to serve as the Dean of the local church.

Vasily Anisimoff entered the Kazan Pedagogical Seminary and, in 1898, successfully passed the examination for the title of magister. In 1905, Anisimoff graduated from the Kazan Teachers Institute (now Tatar State University of Humanities and Education).

During the years of study at the Kazan Teachers Institute, about mid-1902, he accepted the program and joined the social democratic movement which was spreading in the Saratov and Kazan provinces. Whilst being a teacher at Kuznetsky mining school, on 6th of February 1907 he becomes a member of the II State Duma from the Saratov province.

Vasily Anisimoff was a strong supporter of the Democratic element in the Social Democratic movement and as a result, while being a member of the Committee of the Social Democratic faction, he also joined Mensheviks. Vasily Anisimoff actively worked as a member of the Food Commission and the Commission for Public Education. In 1907, he was elected as a delegate to the 5th Congress of the RSDLP, which was held from April 30 to May 19, 1907 in London.

After the dissolution of the II State Duma by the decision of the special presence of the Senate on December 1, 1907, Vasily Anisimoff became one of 16 deputies from the Social Democrats, the issuance of which the government demanded on the eve of the dissolution of the State Duma, and sentenced to 5 years in a Russian penal colony.

Vasily Anisimoff served his sentence in St. Petersburg transit prison, then  prison in Irkutsk province.

Whilst being sentenced, Vasily Anisimoff contributes to the Siberian legal Social-Democratic press. In 1916, in Chita he was elected as the Secretary of the TRANS-Baikal Association of cooperatives that was under the influence of Social-Democratic ideas.

After the 1917 February Revolution, he left Siberia and arrived at Petrograd in March 1917. Anisimoff participated in the work of the 1-st All-Russian Congress of Soviets of workers' and soldiers' deputies. He became a member of the Bureau of the Executive Committee of the Petrograd and one of the deputies of Chairman of Petrograd Soviet, serving since May 1917 until the resignation of the Menshevik Presidium in early September of the same year.

Vasily Anisimoff also actively participated in the Temporary Council of the Russian Republic (pre-Parliament). There he is identified with the left wing group, headed by Lev Kamenev, who sought the peaceful development of the revolution. However, the right wing faction led by Leon Trotsky and Lenin won.

After these events Vasily Anisimoff returned to Siberia,  where he stayed for the entirety of the Russian Civil War. In 1918-1919 he contributed to an Irkutsk newspaper called "Nashe Delo," which fought against the dictatorship of the proletariat. In 1921 Vasily Anisimoff becomes a member of the Constituent Assembly of the Far Eastern Republic, one of the few representatives of the Social Democratic Mensheviks in the coalition of Communist-Socialist government.

From 1918 to 1924 he worked in Siberia as an employee of the newspaper "Our Business", then Minister of Industry for the Far Eastern Republic. In 1923-1924 Vasily Anisimoff was nominated for the post of Chairman of the state trust "Far Eastern forest" in Vladivostok.

In Moscow he became Deputy head of the economic Department of VSNKh (the Supreme Council of National Economy) of the RSFSR and simultaneously managing trust "Exportles".

During the peak of the Stalinist repression in 1937, Vasily Anisimoff was arrested and sent to the Stalinist camps. On April 25, 1938, through the decision of the notorious triple he was declared an "enemy of the people" and sentenced to execution by firing squad. It was carried out at the Kommunarka shooting ground in the Moscow region.

title: Chagres Formation

text:
The Chagres Formation (Tc) is a geologic formation in the Colón Province of central Panama. The sandstones and siltstones were deposited in a shallow marine environment and preserve fossils dating back to the Middle to Late Miocene (Tortonian to Messinian, Clarendonian to Hemphillian in the NALMA classification) period.

Description
The Chagres Formation is exposed in the northern part of the Panama Canal Zone. The formation overlies and partly overlaps the Gatún Formation. The outcrop area lies entirely west of the Panama Canal, extending from the Canal Zone southwestward along the Caribbean coast, about  southwest of Colón. Calcareous strata at the base of the formation throughout most of the outcrop area in the Canal Zone constitute the Toro limestone member.

The name Chagres Sandstone was proposed by MacDonald in 1919 for the sandstone forming the hills that overlook the coast from Toro Point to the mouth of the Chagres River. The sandstone is so massive that estimates of thickness are uncertain.

Fossil content
Various fossils have been found in the Chagres Formation:

Fish

 Alopias superciliosus
 Benthosema pluridens

title: Gatún Formation

text:
The Gatún Formation (Tg) is a geologic formation in the Colón and Panamá Provinces of central Panama. The formation crops out in and around the Panama Canal Zone. The coastal to marginally marine sandstone, siltstone, claystone, tuff and conglomerate formation dates to the latest Serravallian to Tortonian (Clarendonian to Hemphillian in the NALMA classification), from 12 to 8.5 Ma. It preserves many fossils, among others, megalodon teeth have been found in the formation.

Description
The Gatún Formation was first defined and named as such by Howe in 1907. The formation was known before and when William Phipps Blake traveled across Panama in 1853 on his way to California to join one of the transcontinental railroad surveying parties, he collected a few Gatún Formation fossils. In the Canal Zone the contact between the formation with the underlying Caimito Formation is covered by the waters of Lake Gatún and even before the flooding of the lake perhaps all of the contact was concealed by swamps.

Massive medium- to very fine-grained sandstones and siltstones are the chief constituents of the Gatún Formation. They are somewhat calcareous, or marly, somewhat tuffaceous, and have a clay-like matrix. The sandstone contains numerous grains of black and greenish volcanic rocks and is practically a subgraywacke. Conglomerates and hard brittle very fine-grained tuff make up a small part of the formation. Basalt intrudes older formations in the Lake Gatún area, but is not known to penetrate the Gatún Formation.

title: Bohío Formation

text:
The Bohío Formation (Tbo, Tbm) is a geologic formation in Panama. It preserves fossils dating back to the Late Eocene to Late Oligocene period.

Description
The Bohío Formation is characterized by the presence of poorly sorted debris, mostly basaltic: very coarse debris in the form of boulders and cobbles, and finer debris forming beds of sandstone, and the matrix of conglomerate. The facies are non-marine, but marine fossils are found in thin units in the upper part of the formation, in algal limestone and in both poorly sorted and fairly well sorted subgraywacke. The Bohío Formation overlies the Gatuncillo Formation conformably in most areas, although may lap onto the Gatuncillo Formation or basement.

The thickness of the formation is about . Smaller foraminifera from the basal part of the formation yielded an early Oligocene age. The upper part of the formation, from which the collections are derived yields larger foraminifera of late Oligocene age.

title: Southerndown Road railway station

text:
Southerndown Road railway station was a railway station in South Wales. It opened in 1897 and closed in 1961. Between 1898 and 1910, it was the proposed junction for the planned Vale of Glamorgan Light Railway.

Design
The station was one of the five original stations opened in 1897. It had two platforms with brick station buildings on the 'down' platform and the signal box centrally placed on the up platform. There were platform loops on both sides, so four lines of rails ran through the station (the loops were later removed) and the goods yard on the 'down' side was similar to the others on the line, though had an  additional crossover halfway along the loop siding. In 1913, a corrugated iron goods shed was built on the 'down' platform.

Locale
Unlike the four other large stations, Southerndown Road was not located in a settlement and had almost no nearby habitation at all. It acted as a feeder station for a very wide rural area. It had been built with hopes of a branch line to Southerndown itself.

Vale of Glamorgan Light Railway
From the mid-nineteenth century onward, Southerndown had been a popular holiday destination and had the possibility of becoming a resort town. However, this development was limited by the absence of railway connection. From at least 1890, a horse brake service had operated between Bridgend railway station and Southerndown, but as this was operated by the Great Western Railway, it was of no use to the Barry Railway which was by then running the Vale of Glamorgan line. The passing of the Light Railways Act offered the chance of building lines economically and over the next decade or so, various schemes were proposed for the light railway, but none came to fruition.

First Scheme
In September 1897, the support of the Barry Railway was promised to the Vale of Glamorgan Company. The proposed line would be two miles and three quarters long with a ruling gradient of 1 in 50. The estimated cost was £13,500. The surveys were completed and notices prepared for submission to the Light Railway Commissioners, but the scheme went no further owing to the opposition of the principal landowner on the route. Subsequently, an alternative route was prepared.

Second Scheme
The alternative route prepared by the engineer was five miles long. It  was to leave the main line at Ewenny and follow the River Ogmore to Ogmore-by-Sea before proceeding along the coast to Southerndown. The estimated costs were £20,000 with an additional £3000 needed for the curve towards Barry. The Barry Railway balked at these costs and the plans were abandoned. In 1899, a horse brake service was introduced to connect Southerndown Road with the village.

Third Scheme
The need for a better connection still lingered  and led the Barry company to consider the possibility of a motor bus service, but this was considered financially undesirable. In 1904, they subsequently returned to the idea of a light railway and three possible routes were prepared. The first was more or less identical to the first scheme of 1897 and would've cost £19,000. Another following the opposite side of the valley from Southerndown Road station would cost £2000 less. The third route left the line at Ewenny and followed the dry valley towards St Brides Major. The route would require the erection of platforms at Ewenny and had a maximum gradient of 1 in 27. Th estimated cost were £21,000. None of these plans were proceeded with.

Fourth Scheme
Later in 1904, the Barry Directors instructed their engineer to investigate the possibility of a tramway between Bridgend and Southerndown. This proposal would cost £30,000 and would probably have attracted passengers from the Great  Western line rather than via Barry. On 30 June 1904, the Barry company decided to postpone discussion on the matter until the local authorities were prepared to allow level crossings on the route. Despite this, plans never were resumed and dried up after this point. The horse brake continued to operate until 1915 when motor buses were introduced to the area. In retrospect, it is unlikely that a light railway could have thrived for long in such an environment.

Later years and closure
Southerndown Road was the only station which did not profit from the influx of traffic to and from the new RAF bases built in the 1930s. The station closed entirely in 1961. It was the only one on the line to do so before the passenger service was withdrawn in 1964.

title: Street Singer (film)

text:
Street Singer is a 1938 Hindi film directed by Phani Majumdar. It was produced by New Theatres Calcutta and was Phani Majumdar's first Hindi film as a director. The film was made in Bengali as Sathi in the same year. It starred K. L. Saigal, Kanan Devi, Jagdish Sethi and Bikram Kapoor. The music was composed by R. C. Boral with lyrics written by Arzu (Arzoo) Lucknavi. Two street urchins dream of singing and making it big in the glamorous world of theatre in Calcutta. They grow up with the girl being employed while the boy is not. The story follows them through first their enchantment and then the disillusionment with the theatre. Finally both choose to return to their roots in the village.

Plot
Bhulwa helps Manju escape from a burning orphanage and from the care of the tyrannical manager of the orphanage. The two street urchins go from village to village, singing and making money. Bhulwa’s big dream is to someday sing in a theatre in Calcutta. Several years later both are singing on the streets in Calcutta and Manju is employed by a theatre to sing. Bhulwa encourages her through her nervousness and she becomes a popular singer. However her attitude towards servants and other people changes and Bhulwa is disappointed and tells her off. Bhulwa is still struggling but manages to get a chance to sing on the radio. Manju learns of his singing assignment when she listens to him sing on the radio. Feeling slighted she decides to sing Bhulwa’s song in a new style, the way the actor-manager Kailash wants. She leaves a message with the servant asking him to send Bhulwa to the theatre. Bhulwa gets drenched in the rain and is feverish but he goes to listen to Manju. On hearing the new tune given to his favourite song he gets aggressive on the stage and then leaves from there. Manju by now is repentant and decides to search for him. She asks the manager-actor Kailash to drive her and searches the roads by which both had travelled to come to the city. She spies Bhulwa in a boat which is being tossed around due to the wind and storm. The boat crashes against the banks. Manju rushes to Bhulwa and cradles his head on her lap. Kailash leaves them, while both look towards the road leading to the village.

Production
Street Singer. was Phani Majumdar's first and most famous Hindi film. Saigal and Kanan Devi were a sensation nationwide following this film. The film helped establish Kanan Devi’s popularity and her ‘melody queen’ status. It is also ranked as one of  Saigal’s greatest hits, where his rendition of Wajid Ali Shah’s Bhairavi thumri "Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Jaye" is considered a classic. Majumdar considered Saigal an exceptional artist.  He felt he could pan the camera on his face irrespective of who was giving the dialogues. When Saigal sang "Babul Mora', he requested Majumdar not to use recording and playback (his own song) on him, but to let him sing live on the sets. He sang the song pacing the streets with the harmonium.

Soundtrack
The songs became popular making K. L. Saigal and Kanan Devi a craze in India. Saigal's song Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaaye is associated with him as "an immortal singer". The music was by R. C. Boral and lyrics by Arzu Lucknavi. The bhairavi thumri "Babul Mora" is by Wajid Ali Shah.

title: Alemdar (ship)

text:
Alemdar, aka Gazi Alemdar, was a former Turkish salvage tug, which is best known for her victorious engagement with a French navy warship during the Turkish War of Independence. Built in 1898 in Denmark, the Danish-flagged vessel was seized by the Ottoman Empire during World War I. She served under Turkish flag until her scrapping in 1982. Since 2008, a replica of her serves as a museum ship at the port of Karadeniz Ereğli, Turkey.

History
Built by Helsingørs Jemsk & Maka in Denmark, she was launched on 4 June 1898, and christened Danmark. On 21 May 1899, she began her service life in the company Danmark Em 2 Sviter Bjerg Enterprise Copenhagen. In accordance with the  Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire, foreign-flagged ships were allowed to serve in Ottoman territorial waters, and Danmark was one of the ships serving in the Ottoman territorial waters. However, during World War I, the Ottoman Empire abolished the capitulations and took hold of the ship. In May 1915, she was renamed Alemdar, and continued its service in the Ottoman Empire. Her home port became İstanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

Alemdar's escape to nationalists
During a salvage operation in the mouth of Kızılırmak River (Hallys of the antiquity) the ship crew came together with the Turkish National Movement, who were fighting against the Allies as well as the Ottoman government. Inspired by the revolutionaries, the chief engineer Osman decided to join them. On 5 February 1921, Alemdar with a crew of seven, sailed to Karadeniz Ereğli to change sides under the pretext of a salvage operation. They consigned the ship to nationalist forces. The number of the crew was now 21 excluding Osman who fell ill in Karadeniz Ereğli. The revolutionaries decided to send the ship to a port in eastern Black Sea, where the Allied blockade was weak.

Alemdar's encounter with gunboat C-27
The Allies high commander gave strict orders to arrest the crew and bring the ship back. On the night of 8 February 1921 when Alemdar was trying to sail to east, the French gunboat C-27 waiting in ambush out of Karadeniz Ereğli harbor, caught Alemdar. The French navy was especially active in western Black Sea because of the coal mines in Zonguldak, which is situated to the east of Karadeniz Ereğli. French commander Tilli and a small platoon embarked the ship, and the ship was directed to İstanbul with the gunboat in rear. After a short voyage, however, the crew overtook the French boarding party by surprise, and redirected the ship back to Karadeniz Ereğli. The gunboat opened fire, but fearing to wound the French seamen, they didn't use their heavy guns. In Karadeniz Ereğli harbor, the French gunboat maneuvered sailing between Alemdar and the pier. But this was not a wise choice; because the nationalists in Karadeniz Ereğli opened fire from the pier. According to Erol Mütercimler while the casualty of Alemdar was one death (Recep Kahya) and three wounded soldiers, the casualty of C-27 was two deaths and three wounded soldiers. The gunboat retreated. According to the agreement reached on 2 March, the French military personnel who were held captive were released and the French navy promised not to interfere Alemdar's voyage. This was a relatively small clash. But the news of arresting an allied commander brought a big morale for the nationalists.

Later years
On 25 September, Alemdar sailed to Trabzon. In 1922, four cannons were mounted on board, and Alemdar began serving as one of the few warships of the nationalists. In 1929, she was sold to Turkish Maritime Lines returning to her civilian service. After several handovers, Alemdar was finally scrapped in 1982.

Museum ship
In 2008, a replica of Alemdar moored at the port of the Karadeniz Ereğli (), and opened to public on August 8 as a museum ship named . It was reported that 145,000 tourists from all over the world, more than the city's population of 102,000, visited the museum ship in 2013.

title: Poplar Grove (Scotts Hill, North Carolina)

text:
Poplar Grove Plantation is a peanut plantation by the Topsail sound in Scotts Hill near Wilmington in Pender County, North Carolina. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in North Carolina on July 16, 1979.

History

The plantation was originally owned by the widow of Cornelius Harnett. Later, the property, which once included Figure Eight Island, became the home of the Foy family, an American family of French Huguenot descent, from 1795 until 1971. The original plantation house was destroyed in a fire. The current house, a 12-room Greek Revival-style  mansion, was built in the early 1850s by Joseph Mumford Foy. It was mistakenly referenced as being owned by Nicholas Nixon.

The Plantation is now under the care of Poplar Grove Foundation, Inc. Poplar Grove opened as a museum to the public in 1980.

title: Yale Food Addiction Scale

text:
The Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) is a 25-point questionnaire, based on DSM-IV codes for substance dependence criteria, to assess food addiction in individuals. The scale was released in 2009 by Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.

It was found that the brain mechanisms in people with food addiction were similar to those in people with substance dependence, such as drug addicts. While there is currently no official diagnosis of "food addiction", the YFAS was created to identify persons who exhibited symptoms of dependency towards certain food. Foods most notably identified by YFAS to cause food addiction were those high in fat and high in sugar. A self-reported standardized tool was created by a Yale researcher, Ashley Gearhardt, to determine those individuals at high risk for food addiction, regardless of weight.

Food addiction

The term food addiction remains a controversial topic. The concept of food addiction addresses a person's behavioral and neurophysiological changes with certain foods that closely resemble findings found in persons with substance dependence. The term became especially popular in the second half of the twentieth century, driven by the "obesity epidemic". Earlier studies suggest that food addiction, similar to that of drug addiction, mainly exert their actions through the dopamine and opiate pathways. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) subjects regardless of body mass index (BMI), with high food addiction score compared to those with lower scores, showed significant differences in brain activity. Furthermore, a study conducted by the Scripps Research Institute found that rats fed a high-fat palatable diet for extended periods, overstimulated the brain's reward system, similar to brain activity in drug addiction.

Development
To address the need for a standardized tool to identify persons with food addiction behaviors, psychologist Ashley Gearhardt, along with her colleagues William R. Corbin and Kelly D. Brownell, developed the Yale Food Addiction Scale while completing her graduate research at Yale University as a clinical psychology doctoral student. Gearhardt and colleagues formatted their questionnaire to be based upon content of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV "text revision" for substance dependence and was reviewed by experts in the fields of addiction, obesity, and eating pathology for revision.

Content
YFAS contains 25 self-reported questions in dichotomous and Likert-type format. In the original scale, two items were included to determine the foods that triggered dependence. When filling out the questionnaire, subjects are asked to refer to the past 12 months of behaviors. The questions fall under seven specific substance dependence criteria as defined by the DSM-IV, as well as clinically significant impairment. The seven criteria per the instruction sheet for the YFAS are:
 Substance taken in larger amount and for longer period than intended.
 Persistent desire or repeated unsuccessful attempt to quit.
 Much time/activity to obtain, use, recover,
 Important social, occupational, or recreation activities given up or reduced.
 Use continues despite knowledge of adverse consequences (e.g., failure to fulfill role obligation, use when physically hazardous).
 Tolerance (marked increase in amount; marked decrease in effect).
 Characteristic withdrawal symptoms; substance taken to relieve withdrawal.

Food addiction is recognized when an individual meets at least three of the above symptom criteria and scores for clinically significant impairment or distress.

Foods emphasized
The YFAS survey identified certain foods that were likely to trigger dependence symptoms. These foods correlate with the high-fat, high-sugar foods selected in prior food addiction studies, however, the survey subject is instructed to think of any foods or food groups that cause positive symptoms identified in the questionnaire. The YFAS questionnaire lists the following foods:
 Sweets like ice cream, chocolate, doughnuts, cookies, cake, candy
 Starches like white bread, rolls, pasta, and rice
 Salty snacks like chips, pretzels, and crackers
 Fatty foods like steak, bacon, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, pizza, and French fries
 Sugary drinks like soda pop

Modified scales
A shortened YFAS () consisting of only nine items was proposed in 2014 which had similar prevalence rates as the 25-item YFAS. To address the role food addiction plays in children, the original adult YFAS was adjusted. The Yale Food Addiction Scale for Children (YFAS-C) includes more age-appropriate activities, a lowered reading level, and a new scoring threshold.

A 35-item revised version of the YFAS (the YFAS 2.0) was published in 2016, reflecting the changes in the diagnostic criteria for substance dependence in the DSM-5. Although the YFAS and YFAS 2.0 substantially differ in terms of the number of items, response categories, item wordings, and scoring, it has been reported than prevalence rates and correlates of food addiction as measured with the YFAS 2.0 are largely similar to those with the YFAS. Similar to the YFAS, there is also a short version of the YFAS 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0) and a version for children (YFAS-C 2.0).

Translated versions
The YFAS has been translated into several languages such as German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese. Similarly, the YFAS 2.0 has been translated into several languages such as German, French, Italian, Turkish, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Malay, Chinese, Persian, and Portuguese.

Limitations
Incidence of scores positive for food addiction were higher in overweight and obese patients. However, the correlation between YFAS scores and BMI is small and there seems to be a non-linear relationship between the two when considering the entire body weight spectrum from underweight to severe obesity. Previous studies have shown mixed results mainly due to limited sample size, concurrent eating disorders, and lack of clinical controls.

Five years after development of YFAS, Gearhardt and Adrian Meule summarized its utilization in research studies and its limitations. Gearhardt and Meule concluded:

title: Rose Valois

text:
Rose Valois was the name of a millinery establishment in Paris founded in 1927 by Madame Fernand Cleuet, Vera Leigh, and one other. It closed in 1970. During its time, it was considered one of the leading milliners of the 1930s, 40s and 50s.

The founders of Rose Valois had all worked with Caroline Reboux, leaving in 1927 to found their own salon. Rose was Mme Cleuet's first name, and Valois was a construct made up from the initials of Vera Leigh and the other (as yet unidentified) woman. Leigh left Rose Valois in 1940, which remained in business through the occupation of France by enemy German forces during World War II, despite Leigh's later involvement as a member of the French Resistance, leading to her arrest and execution by the Germans in 1944. Rose's husband, Fernand Cleuet (d. June 1961) was chief executive officer of the establishment.

Simone Mirman, who later found fame as one of London's foremost milliners in the 1940s-1960s, served her apprenticeship with Valois.

title: James Pitts (chemist)

text:
James N. Pitts Jr.  (January 10, 1921 – June 19, 2014) was an American chemist and researcher known for his work in the fields of photochemistry and atmospheric chemistry. Pitts was a pioneer in the study of smog and air pollution, especially in Los Angeles County. Pitts co-founded the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center at the University of California, Riverside in 1961 and served as the center's director from 1970 to 1988. He authored more than 400 scientific publications and four books on the subjects, especially smog.

Pitts' research formed the basis for California's air quality laws. According to the chair of the Air Resources Board, Mary Nichols, "Jim Pitts was probably the single person most responsible for the understanding of what strategies we need to clean up Southern California's air...He was able to explain all of this in English to policymakers so that they would be able to accept that it was going to take extensive and difficult actions to control emissions." He often invited state and federal officials to his smog chamber at UC Irvine, including Jerry Brown and Ronald Reagan, to demonstrate the effects of smog and air pollution. In a common demonstration, Pitts would fill an Erlenmeyer flask with ozone and then twist a slice of lemon onto the flask. The ensuing chemical reaction, which quickly produced a fog, demonstrated the formation of smog in the atmosphere.

Pitts refused funding from industry groups, which increased his center's credibility. He was the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions from the California State Assembly, the United States Congress, the Coalition for Clean Air, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, and the California state air board.

Pitts was born on January 10, 1921, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Esther (née Bengtson) and James N. Pitts. The family moved to West Los Angeles when he was just six months old. A high school teacher sparked his interest in chemistry during his junior year.

Pitts enrolled as a chemistry student at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1939. He left during World War II, joining a group of young scientists who conducted classified chemical warfare field tests. Their work led to the development of more effective gas mask for Allied forces during the war. He returned to UCLA, where he received a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1945 and a doctorate in 1949. Pitts initially worked as a faculty member of Northwestern University. He was at the time married to a woman by the name of Nancy Ann Quirt. James and Nancy had three daughters Linda, Christie and Beckie.

Pitts was hired as a founding professor at UC Riverside in 1954.

Pitts married his second wife, UC Irvine chemist and professor Barbara Finlayson-Pitts in 1970. He followed her to the University of California, Irvine in 1994, where the two collaborated of research and co-authored books and other publications.

James Pitts died of natural causes at his home in Irvine, California, on June 19, 2014, at the age of 93. He was survived by his wife, Barbara Finlayson-Pitts, and three daughters,  Linda Lee, Christie Hoffman and Beckie St. George. He was also survived by five grandchildren Kristin Cohn, Brianna Hoffman, Trevin Hoffman, Mallory St George and Ryan Giordano. His great-grandchildren include Brandon, Kyle, Austin and Riley.

title: Corsican horse

text:
The Corsican ( or , ) is a breed of small domestic horse indigenous to the Mediterranean island of Corsica, off the coast of south-eastern France. The breed was officially recognised in February 2012, more than thirty years after the process was begun. The stud-book is kept by a breeders' association, the Association Nationale de Race U Cavallu Corsu. The total population in the island is estimated at approximately 1000. Since the stud-book was established in 2012, about 100 animals have been registered.

Characteristics
The Corsican is a small horse, standing between  at the withers and weighing  The coat colour may be black, seal brown, or any shade of bay; minimal white markings are tolerated. The head is relatively short, sometimes heavy, with a straight profile. The body is compact, with a short and sloping croup. The legs are fine, with small hard hooves.

History
There are no equines in the fossil record of Corsica, and for that reason it is believed that humans brought the first horses to the island, along with a number of other animals. The Haras Nationaux set up a remount depot on the island in 1861 for the purpose of producing light cavalry horses and mules. When the military ceased to breed horses there, the animals remaining were bred by local people and reverted to a homogeneous phenotype due to what essentially became natural selection.

Uses
Today most Corsican horses are used for trail riding, primarily within the tourist industry. They are noted for toughness and endurance.

title: Sandown Depot

text:
The Sandown Depot is a former railroad station of the Boston and Maine Railroad in Sandown, New Hampshire. Built in 1873–74, it is the best-preserved of stations built by the Nashua and Rochester Railroad to survive, remaining relatively unaltered since its construction, and still at its original location. It is now a local history museum, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Description and history
The former Sandown Depot is located on the north side of the village center of Sandown, just off Main Street between Depot Road and the former railroad right-of-way now occupied by the Rockingham Recreational Trail. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, measuring about . Its exterior is finished in wooden clapboards, and it is covered by a broad low-pitch hip roof, whose eaves extend well beyond the structure and are supported by large knee brackets. The track side of the building has a projecting window bay near the center, next to which a semaphore mast rises through the roof. The interior is divided into sections historically used as passenger waiting areas (one each for men and women), freight storage, and the station master's office and telegraph dispatch. Portions of the interior have been modernized.

This station was built in 1873–74 by the Nashua and Rochester Railroad, which was eventually absorbed by the Boston and Maine Railroad. The station was a major location on a heavily traveled single track, with support services including a telegraph office, post office, freight depot, and a large siding area with capacity for 62 cars. It consequently became a major point of civic activity in the rural town. Rail traffic declined in the early 1930s, and the rails were taken up in 1935. The depot building was used by the state highway department as a storage facility between 1934 and 1977, and has since been converted to a local history museum.

title: Old Roycemore School building

text:
The old Roycemore School building is a Northwestern University building that is included on the National Register of Historic Places. The structure had formerly housed the Roycemore School from its opening until 2012.

History

Roycemore School was founded in 1915 as an all-girls school. It became co-ed in 1962. The former Roycemore School building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Architectural Style

The National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form identifies the two architecture firms that were involved in the design and realization of  Roycemore’s signature school buildings. It says that architect Lawrence Buck designed the buildings, with the firm of Talmadge & Watson involved as associated architects.  Thomas Eddy Tallmadge is identified as the lead representative for his firm.

In discussing the style and importance of the buildings in Section 8 of the form, the NRHP nomination says;

“Roycemore School is of considerable architectural significance because it is one of only two examples known to exist in the Midwest of an educational building designed according to the principles evolved by such famous early modern architects in England as Charles Voysey and M. H. Baillie Scott. As such it eschews the accoutrements of the historic styles and emphasizes instead the stern virtues of simplicity of form and honesty of expression that gave sustenance to the English progressive movement from Pugin through Eastlake to Morris and Voysey....”

Roycemore's Relocation

As its property lease with Northwestern University for the lot at Lincoln St. and Orrington Ave. was due to end in 2014, in early 2000 the school began looking for another Evanston location that would allow room to continue a trend of enrollment growth that had occurred over the previous 10 years, with updated technology and to accommodate a larger, regulation-sized, gymnasium.
Roycemore began classes at 1200 Davis Street in Evanston on January 6, 2012.

Post-Roycemore Usage

Despite zoning that allows Northwestern to utilize the property as a dormitory, neighbors have voiced objections to the possibility. Dormitories are considered to be the least favorite potential reuse of the site amongst nearby residents. Also, despite the building having hosted classes for the near-century the Roycemore School was housed there, some neighbors also objected to the idea of Northwestern utilizing the site for university classes. Many neighbors reiterated longtime objections to the housing of student housing located west of Sheridan Road, complaining of the noise produced by students' late-night partying and their commuting to and from classes and the disruption it causes for the single-family homes nearby. The City of Evanston has objected to potential redevelopment of the site that would require demolition or partial demolition of the structure, as it considers most of the interconnected buildings the make up the components of the structure to be local landmarks, and Northwestern's associate vice president of facilities management Ron Nayler has stated that the University only intends to restore the landmark buildings, rather than demolish them. Nayler did however say that the school may potentially replace a home on the site that is not itself landmark. Potential uses zoning would allow encompass, amongst other things, housing for fraternities and sororities, faculty or administrative offices, student dormitories, university classrooms, and upperclass-student housing. Development on the site would directly impact the adjacent residential neighborhood, which includes a new single-family housing development across Orrington Avenue. In the meantime, Northwestern has been intending to utilize the building through interim uses.

Temporary uses have included utilization by
Northwestern's art program during renovations of Kresge Hall.

Usage in Media

A scene featuring Matt Damon was shot for the film Contagion on an empty lot across from Roycemore School, with the school and nearby houses providing background. The empty lot was transformed into a youth baseball park for the scene.

title: Toprak Razgatlıoğlu

text:
Toprak Razgatlıoğlu (born 16 October 1996) is a Turkish motorcycle racer competing in the Superbike World Championship aboard a factory-team Yamaha YZF-R1. He won the 2021 Superbike World Championship, ending Jonathan Rea's 6-year reign. Razgatlıoğlu is the first Turkish Superbike World Champion.

Early life
Born in Alanya, Razgatlıoğlu is the second son of famous Turkish stunt motorcyclist Arif Razgatlıoğlu who was known as Tek teker Arif which means Wheelie Arif. His father died, together with his girlfriend who was riding on the pillion seat, following a motorcycle accident in Antalya on 17 November 2017. As a practising Muslim, Razgatlıoğlu stands away during the traditional spraying of Prosecco on the podium following races, due to the prohibition of drinking alcohol in Islam.

Career

Early career
He competed in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup in 2013 and 2014, finishing 10th and 6th overall respectively. He finished first in the 7th race of the 2014 season in Sachsenring, Germany.

He won his debut race in the European Superstock 600 Championship on 5 October 2014 at Magny Cours aboard a Kawasaki ZX-6R.

He won the 2015 European Superstock 600 Championship aboard a Kawasaki ZX-6R.

Superbike World Championship
Razgatlıoğlu was an upcoming performer with Turkish Puccetti Kawasaki racing team from 2018 and was partnered with factory Kawasaki riders Jonathan Rea and Leon Haslam for the 2019 Suzuka 8 Hours, a track endurance race. Due to not being allowed to ride with the other two taking turns throughout the race, Razgatlıoğlu soon left the Kawasaki marque to become a factory Yamaha rider from 2020. He became World Champion in 2021 after finishing 2nd in Race 1 at the Mandalika International Street Circuit.

MotoGP

2022
In June, Toprak Razgatlioglu got the chance to test the black Yamaha YZR-M1 during a one-day MotoGP private test at the Motorland Aragón circuit. Toprak switched from the Yamaha YZF-R1 to the YZR-M1 and did a total of 40 laps of the 5.078 km MotorLand Aragon circuit in scorching hot conditions. There is no empirical data in the form of lap times or photos of Toprak in action on the track as this was probably part of a super-secret test conducted privately by Yamaha. In the test, he was accompanied by Cal Crutchlow.

2023
Yamaha officially informed that he has the opportunity to test the Yamaha YZR-M1 bike during the development tests held at the Jerez circuit in Andalucía, Spain. Razgatlıoğlu will join Yamaha MotoGP test rider Cal Crutchlow for two days of testing on April 10 and 11 in Jerez. This will be the second test on the YZR-M1, following his first ride at Motorland Aragon in June 2022.
