title: Bandy Bond Nederland

text:
Bandy Bond Nederlands is the governing body for bandy in the Netherlands and is controlling the Netherlands national bandy team.

Bandy was introduced to the Netherlands by Pim Mulier in 1891 and the Nederlandsche Hockey en Bandy Bond, organising field hockey and bandy, was founded on 8 October 1898. In the 1920s and 1930s ice hockey increasingly became a tough competitor to bandy. The federation eventually let go of bandy and was renamed the Nederlandse Hockey Bond in 1935. However, bandy was still played by som clubs during the 1950s and 1960s. Sometimes it was played as rink bandy. By 1971 the new Nederlandse Bandy Federatie was founded. It became a member of the Federation of International Bandy in 1973 (or the International Bandy Federation, as it was known at the time), as the first non-founding member. The federation was merged into Skate Bond Nederland some decades later but since 2012 the sport has its own national federation again, in Bandy Bond Nederland.

title: Alex Cerveny

text:
Alex Cerveny is a Brazilian artist, engraver, sculptor, illustrator and painter, born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1963.

Career
Independently educated, Alex Cerveny studied drawing and painting with Valdir Sarubbi between 1978 and 1982, metal engraving and printing techniques with Selma D'Affre between 1982 and 1986, and attended the lithography course with Odair Magalhães, at FAAP, in 1982. Still in the early 1980s, he joined the Academia Piolin de Artes Circenses and, later, the Circo Escola Picadeiro, both experiences that had a strong influence on his visual universe.

The character he created when he performed as an acrobatic contortionist, "Elvis Elástico: o Homem de Plástico" (Elvis Elastic: the Plastic Man), returns in the twisted figures that populate his paintings. Alex Cerveny's work alludes to a fantastic world, in which biblical and mythological characters, fauna, flora and surreal landscapes are merged. The relationship with text, with narratives from all times - from antiquity to soap operas - and with the body is also latent in his production. Often it is on the body that the texts are inscribed, and it is through it that the stories are told, acting as a kind of axis on canvas where and from where other elements emerge. This body is almost always male, impregnated with a certain provocation and eroticism - and not infrequently presents traits common to the physiognomy of the artist himself.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, he exhibited paintings, drawings, and engravings in important group shows and held several solo exhibitions, establishing himself in the Brazilian contemporary art scene.

His first solo show dates from 1983 at the Elf Galeria de Arte, in Belém do Pará. In 1986, he presented his first solo show in São Paulo, at Galeria Unidade Dois.

In 1988, he started working with Paulo Figueiredo gallery, a partnership that resulted in solo exhibitions in 1988, 1990 and 1993. In 1989, he was part of the group show Panorama da Arte Brasileira Artistas, at MAM-SP.

He participated in the 21st São Paulo Art Biennial (Bienal de São Paulo), in 1991, and won the Prize “Secretaria de Cultura” awarded by the state government of São Paulo for the series Astronomia Babilônica. In the same year, he had his first international exhibition, “Viva Brasil Viva,” in Liljevalchs konsthall, Stockholm, Sweden.

In 1987, 1990 and 1995, he participated in the exhibition “Panorama da Arte Brasileira” (“Brazilian Art Panorama”), organized by the  São Paulo Museum of Modern Art - MAM-SP, winning, in the 1995 edition,  the “Price Waterhouse do Brasil” Award, with the work “Excelsior.”

In 1993, he was invited to attend a workshop at the Tamarind Institute, a division of  the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque, United States.  At the institute, he was able to perfect his lithography and printing techniques. He visited Tamarind Institute again in 2012, this time as a guest and to work on new prints.

Throughout the 2000s, he offered several art workshops and participated in collaborative projects with institutions such as Comunidade Educativa - Cedac and ACTC - Casa do Coração.

In 2005, he participated in the multidisciplinary project called “Nasca Projekt,” in collaboration with the Department of Geosciences of the Dresden University of Applied Sciences. Led by Dr. Bernd Teichert, it included members of the Maria Reiche Association and Christoph Rust, from Germany. The group made three expeditions to Ica province, in Peru, and from there explored the Nazca lines, geoglyphs made between 200 BC and 800 AD by the Paracas culture and Nazca culture.  These trips resulted in the project called “Nasca Correspondences, with works from Cerveny and Rust and that were shown in many exhibitions. One of them was organized in August 2008 by Galeria Marta Traba, at the Latin American Memorial, in São Paulo, and another was held at the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim, in Hildesheim, Germany, in 2009.

In 2012 he participated in the Trienal of San Juan, Puerto Rico, featuring the drawings from “Nasca Correspondences,” which were this time turned into handmade embroidery. These drawings-embroideries were made in collaboration with embroiders Maria Elita Alves Borges and Ana Claudia Bento dos Santos, mothers who graduated from the ACTC (Associação de Assistência à Criança e ao Adolescente Cardíacos e aos Transplantados do Coração—Association for Children and Adolescents with Heart Disease or Heart Transplant), which is based in São Paulo, Brazil. In 2013 he was invited to participate in the 30th Biennial of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana.

In 2019, on the occasion of the solo exhibition Todos os Lugares, he launched a book with the same name, which according to the artist is an "illustrated glossary of places, enriched with sporadic and almost always true stories." In 2019, he participated in the group show Nous les Abres, at the Fondation Cartier in Paris; and in 2021 in the group show Trees, promoted by the Fondation Cartier at the Power Station of Art in Shanghai. Cerveny is one of the artists invited to the next Sydney Biennale, which will be held in March 2022.

The artist also develops a remarkable work as an illustrator: he was for years a collaborator to the newspaper Folha de São Paulo and developed several projects for illustrated books such as Decameron, by Giovanni Boccaccio, published by Cosac & Naify in 2013 and winner of the Jabuti Award, as well as Pinocchio, by Carlo Collodi, in 2012 by the same publisher, and The Origin of Species, by Darwin, in 2018 by Ubu Editora.

His work belongs to important public collections such as Fondation Cartier Pour L'Art Contemporain in Paris, Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, CCSP - Centro Cultural de São Paulo and Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro.

title: Salath Rasasack

text:
Lt. Col. Salath Rasasack (born April 10, 1934) is a former Laotian politician who was held as a political prisoner at a concentration camp (5 A, 5 B) in Laos for over 16 years. He was released in 1991 after Amnesty International negotiated on his behalf. He is a former Senator of the Lao Government.

Early life and political career
Rasasack was born on April 10, 1934, in Savannakhet, Laos. Rasasack has a Buddhist lineage and was a name given to shoe cleaners. Rasasack was educated at the College of Savannakhet. He furthered his education in police training in Chalon -Sur- Saône and Saint-Cyr-au-Mont d'Or, France. Rasasack was elected as Congressman for the Province of Saravane, Laos. Thereafter, he was elected as Minister and Senator to the Two-Party Coalition Assembly.

Detainment
Prior to his life as a Senator, Rasasack was a Police Commissioner for the Royal Lao Government. He disappeared in 1975 after he was summoned by the President of the Coalition Assembly for a meeting. This was the last contact Rasasack had with his family and friends. While he was in the concentration camp, Rasasack lived in fear of losing his life as other political prisoners were being systematically executed. Rasasack also suffered physical and psychological abuse by the prison officials. Many political prisoners did not live to tell their stories of abuse and torture at the hands of the communist regime.

Release
It was learned that Amnesty International's Japanese chapter negotiated Salath Rasasack's release from the political prison after 16 years.

title: Sports in Sacramento, California

text:
The City of Sacramento and the Sacramento metropolitan area are home to one major league professional team — the Sacramento Kings of the NBA — and numerous minor league and amateur sports teams.  Sacramento also has recreational facilities.

Professional sports
Sacramento is home to the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association. The Kings relocated to Sacramento from Kansas City in 1985.

On January 21, 2013, a 65% controlling interest of the Sacramento Kings was sold to Seattle-based investor, Chris Hansen. Hansen intended to move the franchise to Seattle for the 2013–2014 NBA season; the team was to be renamed the Seattle SuperSonics pending the approval of the sale and relocation by the NBA.  On February 6, 2013, NBA Commissioner David Stern stated the Seattle ownership group had filed with the NBA for franchise relocation. Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson fought the move, forming an ownership group led by Vivek Ranadive which wanted to keep the Kings in Sacramento. On May 16, 2013, the NBA Board of Governors met to vote on the move. The final vote was 22-8 in favor of the Kings staying in Sacramento.

Sutter Health Park (then known as Raley Field) hosted a minor league hockey game between the Stockton Heat and the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League on December 18, 2015.

In 2000, AAA minor league baseball returned to Sacramento with the Sacramento River Cats, an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. The River Cats play at Sutter Health Park, located in West Sacramento.

Former pro teams
The now defunct Sacramento Monarchs of the Women's National Basketball Association were one of the eight founding members of the WNBA, which started in 1997. The Monarchs won the WNBA Championship in 2005 to become the first major, professional sports team in Sacramento to do so. However, the Monarchs team folded in November 2009.

The Sacramento Solons, a minor league baseball team of the Pacific Coast League, played in Sacramento during several periods (1903, 1905, 1909–1914, 1918–1960, 1974–1976), mostly at Edmonds Field.

The Sacramento Express played at Bonney Field (now named Heart Health Park) and began play in the only PRO Rugby season before the league folded.

In the past, the city hosted three professional football teams, the Sacramento Surge of the World League of American Football (who won the World Bowl II on June 6, 1992), the Sacramento Gold Miners of the Canadian Football League, and the Sacramento Attack of the Arena Football League.

Semi-pro and amateur sports

Teams in several smaller leagues have been and continue to be in Sacramento. The Sacramento Heatwave of the American Basketball Association currently plays at Folsom High School.

Sacramento was also home to an indoor soccer team, the Sacramento Knights of the Continental Indoor Soccer League (later called the World Indoor Soccer League).  The Sacramento XSV (pronounced "excessive") of the National Professional Paintball League represents the City but is based in Modesto, California. The last sports team to come to Sacramento was the Sacramento Mountain Lions which was part of the United Football League (2009). They played at Raley Field, home of the Sacramento River Cats.

Sacramento hosted the 2000 and 2004 USA Olympic Track & Field Trials. The California International Marathon (est. 1983) finishes in front of the Capitol, and attracts a field of international elite runners who vie for a share of the $50,000 prize purse. The fast point-to-point course begins in Folsom and is popular for runners seeking to achieve a Boston Marathon qualifying time and fitness runners. The Sacramento Mile is a national flat-track motorcycle racing event.  From 1961 to 1980, Sacramento hosted the Camellia Bowl, which selected or helped select ten national champions in college football's lower divisions.

College and high school sports
The Sacramento area is home to two NCAA Division 1 sports programs —  Sacramento State, which fields 21 varsity sports, most in the Big Sky Conference; and UC Davis, which fields 23 varsity teams, most in the Big West Conference.

Sacramento has frequently hosted the NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championship as well as the 1st and 2nd rounds of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.

Sacramento is a hotbed for high school rugby. Jesuit High has won national championships, winning six times in total. Their arch-rival school Christian Brothers has come in second nationwide.  Granite Bay, Burbank, Del Campo, Sierra Foothills, and Vacaville have also placed well in the national competition over the years. The Sacramento Valley High School Rugby Conference hosts the largest and arguably deepest preseason youth and high school rugby tournament in America.

Recreation
Sacramento hosts some recreational facilities and events. The Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail that runs between Old Sacramento and Folsom Lake grants access to the American River Parkway, a natural area that includes more than  of undeveloped land. It attracts cyclists and equestrians from across the state. The California State Fair is held in Sacramento each year at the end of the summer, ending on Labor Day. In 2010, the State Fair moved to July.  More than one million people attended this fair in 2001.

Among other recreational options in Sacramento is Discovery Park, a  park studded with stands of mature trees and grasslands. This park is situated where the American River flows into the Sacramento River.

In amateur sports, Sacramento claims many prominent Olympians such as Mark Spitz, Debbie Meyer, Mike Burton, Summer Sanders, Jeff Float (all swimming), and Billy Mills (track). Coach Sherm Chavoor founded his world famous Arden Hills Swim Club just east of the city and trained Burton, Myer, Spitz and others.

title: Liparis pingxiangensis

text:
Liparis pingxiangensis is a species of orchid discovered in 2013 in Guangxi, China.

Description
It is differentiated from closely related species by its strongly curved column without column wings and its broadly rhombic-elliptic lip with 2 uncinate calli at the base. It also has two pollinia attached by long and prominent caudicles (not stipes), to a distinct sticky disc.

Distribution, habitat, and ecology
Liparis pingxiangensis is a terrestrial orchid. It forms scattered colonies in shady, damp ravines. It occurs in wet to moist soil on steeper slopes. It is found at elevations around  in mixed deciduous forest in southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It flowers in the early spring until late April. It has not been observed in fruit.

Conservation status
Liparis pingxiangensis is a rare species occurs in a rather small population (no more than 10 individuals). It is only known from the type collection and a neighboring population. The forest has been experiencing a continuing decline in quality of habitat due to deforestation. Using the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories and criteria, L. pingxiangensis should be treated as critically endangered due to its rarity and the threat of disturbance. More studies at the two nearby localities may shed light on this enigmatic species.

title: American Folkways series

text:
The American Folkways is a 28-volume series of books, initiated and principally edited by Erskine Caldwell, and published by Duell, Sloan and Pearce from 1941 to 1955.  Each book focused on a different region, or "folkway", of the United States, including documentary essays and folklore from that region. The books were written by local experts, describing "their" region.  Many of the individual volumes have become regarded as classics in folklore, local history, and American writing, and a number of them have been issued in multiple editions or are still in print.

Caldwell initiated the series after returning to the United States from reporting on the German invasion of Russia. He had conceived of the series while in Europe, imagining an Americana regional series in which regionalists would "describe and interpret the indigenous quality of life". His proposal was rejected by editors Marshall Best and Harold Guinzburg at Viking, but accepted by Charles Duell and Samuel Sloan as a foundational series of their new press, and as an opportunity for their press to acquire Caldwell's future works.

In 1939, he began traversing the country, soliciting authors for the series, and by the end of the year had elicited commitments from five writers. Caldwell ultimately edited 25 volumes of the series (three additional volumes were published), and twenty separate regions were covered by the series. The volumes were intended to focus on cultural regions, not political boundaries.  He rejected the term "folklore", choosing instead to use the term "folkways" to reflect "the study of contemporary life in terms of its social and economic implications." Caldwell was a detailed and focused editor, urging writers to hew to his vision – documenting and commenting on particular cultural regions, not sanitizing their subject, but reflective of the author's distinctive voice and regionalist character.

title: Day-Elder

text:
Day-Elder Motors Corporation (1918-1937, also known as D.E.) was a manufacturer of trucks in Irvington, New Jersey. Production began in 1918. The company originated from the earlier National Motors Manufacturing Company, also of Irvington. The vehicles used proprietary engines, transmissions, and rear axles. The brand used a worm-gear final drive, leading to a smooth drive - this was considered enough of a selling argument that a worm gear was adopted as the brand's logo and heavily used in the brand's advertising. Day-Elder also had a steady market in fire trucks, and chassis were sold to be used as taxicabs in New York City. Some sources state that the brand was applied to trucks at least as early as 1916, although this seems unlikely as the company was only incorporated on December 26, 1916.

History
When introduced, Day-Elder offered four models, of one, two, three, or six tonnes capacity. Their New York debut was at the Armory in February 1919. By 1920 the range was up to six "standardized" models, still within the same weight range. The company's president was a Charles P. Day, who founded the company together with a F. G. Elder and a Theo. McMarsh.

Day-Elder used four-cylinder engines from Buda Engine Co. or Continental. Transmissions came from Muncie or Brown-Lipe, while rear axles were from Timken, Sheldon, or Columbia. Fairly successful for a manufacturer which depended on outside suppliers for major parts, they began to reach nationwide distribution in the twenties and were also sold in Canada. Most of their early expansion was east of the Mississippi river, but as early as 1920 their farm trucks were being advertised on the West Coast. The brand's market then began to shrink and they were once again confined mostly to the local tri-state area.

D.E. introduced a six-cylinder range (dubbed the "Super Service Sixes") in July 1930. This range, comprising eleven models, had fully enclosed "all-weather" cabins and chrome exterior fittings. In order to better compete with other manufacturers who were strong in D.E.'s home area, they then added heavier trucks of up to 8 tonnes in 1930, and engines from Hercules and others were also made available. None of this sufficed however, and Day-Elder ended up shutting its doors in 1937, as they could not weather the Great Depression.

title: Ukrainian national revival

text:
The Ukrainian National Revival () took place during a period when the territory of modern Ukraine was divided between the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Russian Empire after the partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century. The period took place soon after the Haidamaka Uprisings (also known as Koliivshchyna) rocked lands of former Cossack Hetmanate.

The movement arose at a time when the Ukrainian national resistance was almost entirely subjugated and largely driven underground. All state institutions under the Cossack Hetmanate were completely liquidated along with the Cossack movement. The European territory of the Russian Empire had successfully crossed the Dnieper and extended towards Central Europe, as well as reaching the shores of Black Sea.

Nonetheless, the period is also considered to be the beginning of modern Ukrainian literature, foremostly the works of Ivan Kotliarevsky. A number of Ukrainian historians such as Volodymyr Doroshenko and Mykhailo Hrushevsky divided the period into three stages. The first stage stretches from the end of the 18th century to the 1840s, the second stage covers the period of the 1840s-1850s, and the third stage is the second half of the 19th century.

Novhorod-Siversky Patriotic Circle
Novhorod-Siversky Patriotic Circle existed prior to the Patriotic war of 1812 in Novhorod-Siverskyi, Russian Empire. Its members included such personalities like Andriy Hudovych, Tymofiy Kalynsky, Ivan Khalansky, Arkhyp Khudorba, Pavlo Koropchevsky, Opanas Lobysevych (one of the leaders), Mykhailo Myklashevsky, Hryhoriy Poletyka, Andriy Rachynsky, Bishop Verlaam Shyshatsky, Fedir Tumansky, Melkhysedek Znachko-Yavorsky, H. Dolynsky, S. Shyrai, and A. Pryhara. There are speculations that the 1791 secret mission of Vasily Kapnist to Berlin was connected with that circle. The circle played a key role in revival of Cossack regiments (see Ivan Kotliarevsky).

Sts Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood

Brotherhood of Sts Cyril and Methodius was a short-lasting underground anti-absolutist organization of Russian Empire based in Kyiv and consisting of 12 members. Ideas of Pan-Slavism were popular among some of its participants. It was led by Mykola Kostomarov.

Hromada

A network of hromadas (Ukrainian communities) appeared soon after the liquidation of the Sts Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood and was heavily influenced by the ongoing Khlopomanstvo movement on the territory of modern Ukraine. The first such hromada appeared in the capital of Russian Empire, Saint Petersburg. Many members were editors of the Ukrainian magazine Osnova that was published in 1861–62. Among the later members of the Saint Peterburg Hromada were Volodymyr Leontovych, Petro Stebnytsky and others. The most influential hromada, however, appeared in Kyiv, members of which were Volodymyr Antonovych, Mykhailo Drahomanov, Mykola Lysenko, Pavlo Chubynsky, and many others. Alternatively called the Old Hromada, Hromada of Kyiv played a key role in appearance of numerous Ukrainian political and cultural organizations in the Ukrainian guberniyas of the Russian Empire such as the Society of Ukrainian Progressionists, Revolutionary Ukrainian Party, Prosvita (Enlightment), and others. Some powerful hromadas existed in Odesa, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Poltava and elsewhere.

In the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary

The Ukrainian national revival in the territory what is today Western Ukraine is considered to have started around 1837, when Markiyan Shashkevych, Ivan Vahylevych and Yakiv Holovatsky published Rusalka Dnistrovaya, an almanac of Ukrainian folk songs in Buda, Hungary. During the Revolution of 1848, the Supreme Ruthenian Council was founded in Lviv, becoming the first legal Ukrainian political organization. In May 1848, Zoria Halytska started publishing as the first newspaper in Ukrainian language. In 1890, Ukrainian Radical Party, the first Ukrainian political party, was founded.

Garbage trucks donation
In April 2014, Taiwanese business people in Indonesia donated four garbage trucks through Chang to Jakarta Lieutenant Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama to help the city government to handle waste-related issues. Chang said that the help was given because all this while, many Taiwanese business people have cooperated a lot in various sectors with the Jakarta City Government. Basuki responded by saying that Taiwan has helped Jakarta a lot in handling its continuous flood problems, such as by the Tzu Chi Foundation.

title: Fjærland Church

text:
Fjærland Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Sogndal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fjærland, near the northern end of the Fjærlandsfjorden. It is the church for the Fjærland parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1861 using plans drawn up by the architect Christian Henrik Grosch. The church seats about 300 people.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1306, but the church was not new that year. The first church at Fjærland was likely built in the 12th century and it was a wooden stave church. Historically, the church was also known as the Mundal Church. In 1610, the church was destroyed in a storm. A new timber-framed long church was built at Mundal to replace the old church. The building was described as a small church with a nave that measured about  and a choir that measured about . Inside, the church had twisted black and brown colored branches painted on the walls and the ceiling had a large painting of the sun, moon, and stars. Around 1680, a new church porch and tower were built on the west end. In 1861, the church was torn down to make room for the present church.

In 1931, the church was expanded and remodeled. The architect Johan Lindstrom was responsible for the major expansion of the church that year. During the renovation, the old steeple was removed and a spire with a cross on top was put in its place, giving the church a unique look. The church was consecrated again on 13 August 1931 by Bishop Andreas Fleischer after the renovations.

From ancient times the village had no road connections to the outside world. All transportation to and from the outside world took place via the Fjærlandsfjord. The first road into Fjærland to Skei in Jølster to the north was in 1986 and then a road and tunnel to Sogndalsfjøra to the south was completed in 1994. After a referendum in 2000, the village was transferred from Balestrand to Sogndal municipality. This also meant that the church switched from the Balestrand parish to the Sogndal parish.

title: Stedje Church

text:
Stedje Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Sogndal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Sogndalsfjøra, near the shore of the Sogndalsfjorden. It is the church for the Stedje parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The red, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1867 using plans drawn up by the architect Christian Christie. The church seats about 400 people.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1327, but it was not new that year. The church is also referenced in the book, Sverris saga which was written around the year 1200. The first church in Stedje was a wooden stave church which was located on the same site as the present church building. The church was likely built around the year 1180. Tradition states that Saint Olaf himself chose the site of the church (there is a runestone near the church that tends to support this story), but if this is the case, then there may have been a small church built here in the 11th century that was replaced with a new building in 1180. According to the book Sverris saga, the Stedje farm was set on fire on 15 June 1184 by King Sverre's army. The area was burned as revenge for a murder just before the Battle of Fimreite, but the new church was spared and protected by soldiers. The nave of the old stave church measured  and it had a small choir on the east end of the building. The ceiling height in the nave reached  in the centre of the room. In 1607, the choir of the old stave church was torn down because it was too small. A new, larger choir was rebuilt on the same site. The new timber-framed choir measured . In 1680, the old tower was taken down and rebuilt.

In 1814, this church served as an election church (). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.

By the 1860s, the old church had proven to be too small for the parish, so it was decided to tear down the old church and rebuild a new one on the same site. The parish hired Johannes Øvsthus to design an octagonal church, but he failed to meet the deadline for planning the new building, so he lost the job. Next, Christian Christie was hired and he designed a large stave church-inspired building. In June 1867, the old church was torn down. Immediately after, work began on the new timber-framed long church. Like several of Christie's churches, the church was prefabricated and transported to the site for final construction. The new building was consecrated on 17 December 1867 by the Bishop Peter Hersleb Graah Birkeland. Upon completion, the cost of the church had exceeded the budget by 50%.

The first church here was a wooden stave church that was likely built in the 13th century on a site about  east of the present church site. Sometime before 1686, the old choir was torn down and a new timber-framed choir was built to replace it. The old church was in use until 1700 or 1701 when it burned down. A new cruciform church was built in 1703 to replace it. The new church was built by Askild Tepstad. Over time, the new church was too small for the congregation, so in 1863 a new church was constructed about  to the west of the old church. The new building was designed by Christian Henrik Grosch and the lead builder was Ole Olson Løken. After the new building was completed, the old church was torn down.

On 15 January 1989, lightning struck the tower and it started burning. The fire department was alerted and arrived quickly enough that they had extinguished the fire before the whole church was destroyed. The tower was rebuilt in the autumn of the same year, and it looks the same as before.

Name
Historically, the church had been called Ylmheim Church (or Ølmheim Church), after the name of the nearby farm. However, starting around the year 1840, the church and the parish were named Norum. In 2015, the church was renamed using the historic Ølmheim name, but the parish name remained as Norum.

title: Cubic honeycomb honeycomb

text:
In the geometry of hyperbolic 4-space, the cubic honeycomb honeycomb is one of two paracompact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs). It is called paracompact because it has infinite facets, whose vertices exist on 3-horospheres and converge to a single ideal point at infinity. With Schläfli symbol {4,3,4,3}, it has three cubic honeycombs around each face, and with a {3,4,3} vertex figure. It is dual to the order-4 24-cell honeycomb.

Related honeycombs
It is related to the Euclidean 4-space 16-cell honeycomb, {3,3,4,3}, which also has a 24-cell vertex figure.

It is analogous to the paracompact tesseractic honeycomb honeycomb, {4,3,3,4,3}, in 5-dimensional hyperbolic space,  square tiling honeycomb, {4,4,3}, in 3-dimensional hyperbolic space, and the order-3 apeirogonal tiling, {∞,3} of 2-dimensional hyperbolic space, each with hypercube honeycomb facets.

title: Ascosphaera callicarpa

text:
Ascosphaera callicarpa is a fungus common on the larval feces of the solitary bee Chelostoma florisomne, which nests in the Phragmites reeds of thatched roofs in Europe.

Pathogenic Ascosphaera species afflict only the larval stage of bees. Typically, diseased larvae die in the larval stage; in rare occurrences, however, larvae have been observed to enter pupation before being overcome by the fungus.

Description

The mating system is heterothallic. Infected larvae appear shrunken, pale buff, covered by a weft of hyphae, with or without the production of ascomata. The ascomata are greenish (immature) to black (mature) spore cysts produced on aerial hyphae above the larval cuticle, measuring 40–119 µm in diameter. The spore wall is pale greenish to yellowish-brown, nearly smooth with minute punctae at high magnification. Spore balls are hyaline to pale yellowish, without granules, 7–20 µm in diameter, and mostly persistent. The ascospores are ellipsoid to somewhat sausage shaped, and measure 2.1–3.9 by 1.1–1.7 µm. Cultures grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar show rapid growth after 2–6 days; they are white with abundant production of spore cysts when both mating strains are present.

Ecology and distribution

Ascosphaera aggregate is an obligate pathogen with a preference for bees belonging to the family Megachilidae. This species has a broad distribution, with reports from both North America and Europe.

This fast-growing saprotroph is associated primarily with solitary bees. This species is typically found growing on pollen provisions. Less common substrates from which A. agra has been isolated include the surface of a diseased M. rotundata larva with chalkbrood caused by A. aggregate, from pollen within the gut of an otherwise healthy M. rotundata larva and from the honey of A. mellifera. Ascosphaera agra is the only species of the genus that has been found growing on plant material (grass silage) outside of the bee habitat. Pathogenicity studies demonstrated that A. agra is not a pathogen of solitary bees; however it has been concluded that it is a weak pathogen of honeybees.

title: Bourke v. Beshear

text:
The lead cases on same-sex marriage in Kentucky are Bourke v. Beshear, and its companion case Love v. Beshear. In Bourke, a U.S. district court found that the Equal Protection Clause requires Kentucky to recognize valid same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. In Love, the same court found that this same clause renders Kentucky's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Both decisions were stayed and consolidated upon appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which heard oral arguments in both cases on August 6, 2014. On November 6, the Sixth Circuit upheld Kentucky's ban on same-sex marriage.

On January 16, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court consolidated these cases with three others and agreed to review the case under the name Obergefell v. Hodges. Oral arguments were heard on April 28, 2015, and the Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in June 2015.

District court proceedings
On July 26, 2013, Gregory Bourke and Michael DeLeon, who were legally married in Ontario, Canada, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky challenging Kentucky's refusal to recognize their marriage on behalf of themselves and DeLeon's two adopted children. They later added as plaintiffs a couple married in Iowa and another in California, and the four children of one of them. On August 16, a fourth couple, married in Connecticut, filed a related suit in the same court but then joined the suit as plaintiffs. Named as defendants were Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and Attorney General Jack Conway, as well as Sue Carole Perry, Shelby County Clerk. Their suit, Bourke v. Beshear, argued that Kentucky should recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. The case was assigned to Judge John G. Heyburn II.

Bourke decision
In a decision issued February 12, 2014, Judge Heyburn found that Kentucky must recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions because withholding recognition violates the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. He wrote:

He pointed out the evolution of judicial recognition of same-sex marriage: "In Romer, Lawrence, and finally, Windsor, the Supreme Court has moved interstitially ... establishing the framework of cases from which district judges now draw wisdom and inspiration. Each of these small steps has led to this place and this time, where the right of same-sex spouses to the state-conferred  benefits of marriage is virtually compelled." He told attorneys he would hold a hearing before issuing an order implementing his decision.

Bifurcation of case
On February 14, two same-sex couples who were denied marriage licenses in Jefferson County, Timothy Love, Lawrence Ysunza, Maurice Blanchard, and Dominique James, asked to be allowed to intervene in the suit because their challenge to Kentucky's ban on same-sex marriage within the state raises substantially the same arguments as the original suit. On February 27, 2014, before the final order was issued, the state attorney general asked Judge Heyburn to stay enforcement of his Bourke order for 90 days, noting that even if the state does not appeal the decision it needs time to implement it. Judge Heyburn issued a final order in Bourke on the same day ordering the state to recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions at once, which created de jure legalization of recognition of out-of-state same-sex marriages; being a final order it was then immediately subject to appeal. He then bifurcated the case and allowed the new plaintiffs to intervene and argue against Kentucky's denial of marriage licenses to in-state same-sex couples. This portion of the case would remain in district court, retitled as Love v. Beshear. A briefing schedule on the in-state issue was completed by May 28. On February 28, 2014, Judge Heyburn issued a shorter, 21-day stay in Bourke, instead.

Bourke appeal
On March 4, 2014, the state attorney general announced that he would neither appeal the state's position nor request further stays. Kentucky's governor said he would employ outside counsel to appeal Heyburn's ruling in Bourke to the  U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and to request a stay pending appeal. On March 19, Judge Heyburn extended his stay pending action by the Sixth Circuit, noting the stay granted by the U.S. Supreme Court in a similar Utah case.

An interlocutory appeal of Bourke was lodged in the Sixth Circuit on March 19 under appellate case number 14-5291. By the time oral arguments were scheduled, the decision in the companion case Love v. Beshear was handed down and appealed; the Sixth Circuit thus consolidated the cases for argument (see below).

Love decision
The addition of intervening plaintiffs the Bourke lawsuit (dealing with the recognition of out-of-state same-sex marriages, see above) on the related issue of denial of marriage licenses to in-state same-sex couples, required the court to bifurcate the case and restyle it. Love v. Beshear continued in district court as to the state marriage license issue, while the out-of-state recognition issue was appealed.

On July 1, 2014, U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II found in favor of the intervening same-sex couple plaintiffs and ruled that Kentucky's ban on allowing same-sex marriage in-state violates the Equal Protection Clause.

In doing so, Judge Heyburn departs from the opinions issued by most of the other U.S. district courts that examined the issue; he "does not determine whether Kentucky's laws interfere with a fundamental right." Looking at the trio of marriage cases of Loving v. Virginia, Zablocki v. Redhail, and Turner v. Safley; Judge Heyburn states that:  He is hesitant to answer in the affirmative, reasoning that "holding that the fundamental right to marry encompasses same-sex marriage would be a dramatic step that the Supreme Court has not yet indicated a willingness to take" (emphasis added.)

Judge Heyburn then notes that he can bypass answering this question.  Instead, the judge finds that homosexual persons constitute a suspect class. Although Sixth Circuit precedent suggests that sexual orientation classifications do not receive heightened scrutiny, Heyburn prods the circuit court "to reconsider its view" as this precedent relied on Bowers v. Hardwick, a Supreme Court case subsequently overturned as "not correct when it was decided, and it is not correct today." (citing Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 at 575) He does the analysis required and finds the heightened scrutiny of a "quasi-suspect" class applies to the case; but even under the lower "rational basis" review, the state does not bear its burden in justifying exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage. Heyburn concludes that the defendants' arguments for exclusion, i.e. encouraging relationships that procreate and stabilize the birthrate, "are not those of serious people," finding no relation between same-sex marriage and heterosexual procreation.

Judge Heyburn stayed his ruling in Love pending the outcome of any appeal.

Court of Appeals proceedings
Upon motion of appellee same-sex couples, the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals consolidated Love v. Beshear, now docketed 14–5818 on appeal, and dealing with in-state licensing of same-sex marriage — with Bourke v. Beshear, already under appeal under docket 14–5291, and dealing with out-of-state same-sex marriage recognition. A July 16, 2014, order by the Sixth Circuit set an expedited briefing schedule: state appellants' opening brief due July 17, appellee same-sex couples' principal brief due July 24, and appellants' reply due July 31.

Oral arguments for the consolidated Love and Bourke cases were held on August 6, 2014; the Sixth Circuit heard same-sex marriage cases stemming from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee on that date as well.

Reversal
On November 6, the Sixth Circuit ruled 2–1 that Kentucky's ban on same-sex marriage does not violate the constitution. It said it was bound by the U.S. Supreme Court's 1972 action in a similar case, Baker v. Nelson, which dismissed a same-sex couple's marriage claim "for want of a substantial federal question." Writing for the majority, Judge Jeffrey Sutton also dismissed the arguments made on behalf of same-sex couples in this case: "Not one of the plaintiffs' theories, however, makes the case for constitutionalizing the definition of marriage and for removing the issue from the place it has been since the founding: in the hands of state voters." Dissenting, Judge Martha Craig Daughtrey wrote: "Because the correct result is so obvious, one is tempted to speculate that the majority has purposefully taken the contrary position to create the circuit split regarding the legality of same-sex marriage that could prompt a grant of certiorari by the Supreme Court and an end to the uncertainty of status and the interstate chaos that the current discrepancy in state laws threatens."

Supreme Court proceedings
The same-sex couples filed an application for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court on November 17. On January 16, 2015, the United States Supreme Court consolidated this case with three others from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee and agreed to review the case, setting a briefing schedule to be completed April 17. The court asked the parties to address two questions: "1) Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex? 2) Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state?"

This case was combined with several others and became part of the Obergefell v. Hodges case which was decided June 26, 2015 by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5–4 decision that: "The Fourteenth Amendment requires a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state."
