title: Claremont Warehouse No. 34

text:
The Claremont Warehouse No. 34 is a historic warehouse building at Heritage Drive in Claremont, New Hampshire. Built in 1912 for the Sullivan Machine Company, it is one of the city's reminders of that company's importance as a major economic force in the region. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Description and history
The Claremont Warehouse No. 34 is located about  west of Claremont's central Tremont Square, between Main Street and Heritage Place. It is a tall building, four stories in height, with an irregular four-sided footprint about  long and ranging in width from . When built, the structure had an open interior with a single floor and three mezzanine levels, with a tall three-story opening at one end, and was covered by a sawtooth roof.

The building was designed by Arthur S. Coffin and built in 1912 by the Sullivan Machinery Company, a local manufacturer of quarrying and mining equipment. It was used primarily as a warehouse until 1967, also including a welding shop for a time. A rail line ran directly into the building, facilitating the loading and unloading of materials. It was purchased in 1974 by a mattress manufacturer. A large portion of the adjacent Sullivan Company plant (located between this building and the Sugar River) was destroyed by fire in 1979. It has since been converted to residential use.

title: Inamujandi

text:
Inamujandi (died c. 1935) was a Burundian spiritual leader and anticolonial activist.

Early life
Inamujandi was born in the mid-nineteenth century in a remote region near Ndora Mountain in northeast Burundi, in the modern province of Cibitoke. Her early life is otherwise obscure, but she belonged to a long tradition of female prophets associated with the shrines of deceased Burundian kings.

Involvement in 1934 revolt
Inamujandi played an important role in fomenting the 1934 rebellion against Belgian colonial rule in Burundi. The colonial authorities had replaced the young king Mutaga Mbikije with Pierre Baranyanka, an action Inamujandi was strongly opposed to, particularly as Baranyanka was a Tutsi in a predominantly Hutu area. Under her instigation and inspiration by her invocation of the demi-God Kiranga, the population of Ndora revolted in an attempt to restore the pre-colonial order.

Such was Inamujandi's ability to motivate her people that she was rumoured to have magical powers. A Belgian government report described her as "a sorceress by the name of Mujande. She announced the coming of a new king," while eyewitnesses said that she claimed that anyone "who called himself Tutsi or mzungu (European) would be spat upon by the new king and would perish." She reportedly told her followers that the bullets of colonial forces would turn into grain or water, and that the trees themselves would eat their enemies.

The rebels under her guidance set fire to more than three hundred huts and ten mission schools within a matter of days. However, the revolt was soon crushed by Force Publique troops.

She was captured in on 6 November 1934, and was sent into exile Ruyigi in the east of the country, where she likely died shortly afterwards.

Legacy
Inamujandi's name was frequently invoked by Hutu partisans in the 1950s and 60s, and successive Burundian governments have presented her as an anti-colonial role model.

title: Sérgio Porto

text:
Sérgio Marcus Rangel Porto (January 11, 1923 – September 30, 1968) was a Brazilian columnist, writer, broadcaster and composer. He was better known by his pen name Stanislaw Ponte Preta.

Porto was born in Rio de Janeiro, and began his journalistic career in the late 1940s, writing for such publications as Sombra and Manchete magazines and the newspapers Última Hora, Tribuna da Imprensa and Diário Carioca. In the same period Tomás Santa Rosa also acted in several newspapers and newsletters as an illustrator. It was then that the character Stanislaw Ponte Preta and his  satirical and critical chronicles was born, a creation of Porto along with Santa Rosa - the character's first illustrator - inspired by the character Serafim Ponte Grande by Oswald de Andrade. Porto has also contributed to music publications and wrote musical shows for nightclubs, as well as composing the song "Samba do Crioulo Doido" for revue theater.

He was also the creator and producer of the beauty pageant As Certinhas do Lalau,  which featured vedettes such as Anilza Leoni, Diana Morel, Rose Rondelli, Maria Pompeo, and Irma Alvarez, and of the FEBEAPÁ -  Festival de Besteira que Assola o País (Festival of Nonsense that Sweeps the Country),a news satire column where he made corrosive jokes against the military dictatorship, and the social moralism of his time. Porto died in 1968, before the dictatorship's Institutional Act n°5, that established censorship in the Brazilian press.

title: Michael Aspietes

text:
Michael Aspietes (, ) was a distinguished Byzantine general serving under Emperor Manuel I Komnenos.

A member of the Aspietes family, of noble Armenian origin, Michael Aspietes is most likely the Aspietes whom John Kinnamos records as having distinguished himself in the wars against the Hungarians in 1167. He is next recorded by Niketas Choniates as being active in 1176, in the aftermath of the Byzantine defeat at the Battle of Myriokephalon, when he and John Komnenos Vatatzes campaigned against the Seljuk Turks raiding the Maeander River valley. At the Battle of Hyelion and Leimocheir the Seljuk army was destroyed in an ambush. During the battle a Turk wounded Aspietes' horse and the panicked animal reared up on its hind legs. The general was thrown into the Maeander River, where he drowned.

title: Singmogil

text:
Singmogil or Sikmogil (, hanja: 植木日) is a holiday in South Korea, the Korean Arbor Day. It is celebrated annually on April 5.

Background
The idea of Singmogil was to celebrate forestry and the development of national history. The day of April 5 was chosen for its historical significance. On April 5, Silla achieved the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

History
Singmogil was designated by presidential decree in 1949 following legislation by the National Assembly.

In 1960, Singmogil's status as a holiday was abolished and April 5 was treated as any other day. However, the following year the official status of the holiday was restored.

In 2006, Singmogil's holiday status was abolished again.

Activities
On Singmogil, South Korean people plant trees that are appropriate for the region's climate. Government offices help people plant trees. During the month of Singmogil, the government encourages the economical utilization of forestry by designating a "National Planting Period." Even though Singmogil was abolished in 2006 as a holiday, the South Korean public continues to take part in meaningful activities.

title: Constantine Aspietes

text:
Constantine Aspietes (, ) was a Byzantine general active in the late 12th century.

A member of the Aspietes family, of noble Armenian origin, Constantine was probably a close relative of his contemporary Michael Aspietes, a distinguished general killed in 1176. Like his relative, Constantine too had earned distinction during Manuel I Komnenos' campaign against the Hungarians in 1167. The historian John Kinnamos records that he held the rank of sebastos. He is next recorded as being active in 1190/1, during the Byzantine efforts to suppress the Bulgarian–Vlach rebellion of the brothers Peter and Ivan Asen. The historian Niketas Choniates records that, in an effort to sustain the troops and bolster their morale, Aspietes decided to distribute to them their delayed annual salaries. This act, however, enraged Emperor Isaac II Angelos, who saw it as almost an attempt to bribe the army to support Aspietes in overthrowing him. The emperor had Aspietes arrested and blinded, after which nothing further is known of him. He possibly died in the early years of the 13th century.

title: United States Custom House (San Ysidro, California)

text:
The United States Custom House (also known as the Old Customs House) in San Ysidro, San Diego, California, is a 1933 Spanish Revival building located  north of the Mexico–United States border at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places with the full historic name U.S. Inspection Station/U.S. Custom House and common name U.S. Custom House.

History
The Custom House was part of a large federal building program begun in 1926 during the Herbert Hoover administration in which 1,300 new federal buildings were constructed. The building was designed by the Supervising Architect's office of the Treasury Department; construction was performed by Robert E. McKee of El Paso, Texas, who was paid $93,800. Groundbreaking was in early summer 1932. In May 1933 the building was complete; it was quietly put into use without a formal dedication ceremony.

As traffic increased at the crossing over the decades, an additional building was added north of the 1933 facility. That new building was then replaced by much larger inspection and customs facilities to its west, completed in 1974 and still in use. After a period during which the ground floor of the Custom House was left empty, the ground floor once again houses offices of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Significance
The building is considered important for two reasons, one political and one architectural. Politically, the building has played an important symbolic role in relations between Mexico and the United States at one of the busiest land border crossings in the world. Architecturally, it is considered a locally prominent example of the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style as applied to a public building.

title: Cavitation modelling

text:
Cavitation modelling is a type of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) that represents the flow of fluid during cavitation. It covers a wide range of applications, such as pumps, water turbines, pump inducers, and fuel cavitation in orifices as commonly encountered in fuel injection systems.

Modelling categories
Modelling efforts can be divided into two broad categories: vapor transport models and discrete bubble models.

Vapor transport model
Vapor transport models are best suited to large-scale cavitation, like sheet cavitation that often occurs on rudders and propellers. These models include two-way interactions between the phases.

Discrete bubble model
The discrete bubble model includes the effects of the surrounding fluid on the bubbles. Discrete bubble models, e.g. the Rayleigh-Plesset, Gilmore  and Keller-Miksis, describe the relation between the external pressure, bubble radius and the velocity and acceleration of the bubble wall.

Two-phase modeling
Two-phase modeling is the modelling of the two phases, as in a free surface code. Two common types of two phase models are homogeneous mixture models and sharp interface models. The difference between both the models is in the treatment of the contents of cells containing both phases.

Homogeneous mixture models
Most recent cavitation modelling efforts have used homogeneous mixture models, in which the contents of individual cells are assumed to be uniform. This approach is best suited to modeling large numbers of bubbles that are much smaller than one cell. The disadvantage of this approach is that when the cavities are larger than one cell, the vapor fraction is diffused across neighboring cells by the vapor transport model.

This is different from the sharp interface models in that the vapor and liquid are modeled as distinct phases separated by an interface.

Sharp interface models
In sharp interface models, the interface is not diffused by advection. The model maintains a sharp interface. Naturally, this is only appropriate when the bubble size is at least on the order of a few cells.

Phase change models
Phase change models represent the mass transfer between the phases. In cavitation, pressure is responsible for the mass transfer between liquid and vapor phases. This is in contrast to boiling, in which the temperature causes the phase change. There are two general categories of phase change models used for cavitation: the barotropic models and equilibrium models. This section will briefly discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

Barotropic model
If the pressure is greater than vapor pressure, then the fluid is liquid, otherwise vapor. This means density of liquid water is considered as the density of fluid if the pressure is greater than vapor pressure and the density of water vapor is considered when pressure is less than vapor pressure of water at the ambient temperature.

Equilibrium model
The equilibrium model requires the solution of the energy equation. The equation for state of water is used, with the energy absorbed or released by phase change creating local temperature gradients which control the rate of phase change.

Bubble dynamics models
Several models for the bubble dynamics have been proposed:

Rayleigh
The Rayleigh model is the oldest, dating from 1917. This model was derived by Lord Rayleigh It describes an empty space in the water, influenced by a constant external pressure. His assumption of an empty space led to the name cavity still used.
The Rayleigh equation, derived from the Navier-Stokes equation for a spherically symmetric bubble convected with the flow with constant external pressure, reads

Rayleigh-Plesset
Building on the work of Lord Rayleigh, Plesset included the effects of viscosity, surface tension and a non-constant external pressure to the equation. This equation reads

Gilmore
The equation by Gilmore accounted for the compressibility of the liquid. In its derivation, the viscous term is only present as a product with the compressibility. This term is neglected. The resulting term is:

In which:

Others
Over the years, several other models have been developed by making different assumptions in the derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations.

title: Henry Harrington Janeway

text:
Henry Harrington Janeway (19 March 1873 – 1 February 1921) was an American physician and pioneer of radiation therapy.

Publications
Janeway's clinical and experimental observations were published in medical journals of his time. His report on Radium Therapy in Cancer, at the Memorial Hospital (1915-1916), which appeared in book form in 1917 was the most comprehensive work of its type published in the United States. Its first chapter, "Physical Considerations Relative to the Application of Radium", was written by Gioacchino Failla. Janeway's 1919 paper on "The Treatment of Uterine Carcinoma" was considered a classic and was written while he was Attending Surgeon and Head of the Radium Department at Memorial Hospital in New York.

The Janeway Medal and Lectures

In 1933, the American Radium Society founded the annual Janeway Lecture in his honor. The lecturers are chosen for their "outstanding scientific contributions" with the lecture taking place at the society's annual general meeting.  The first Janeway Lecture, "Early Experience in Radium Therapy" was given by the pathologist James Ewing. Since 1937 each Janeway Lecturer is also presented with the Janeway Medal, originally struck in bronze but in 1971 changed to gold. The medal was designed by Edward H. Skinner, the American Radium Society's president-elect at the time, and Stephanie Prince, a young artist from Kansas City, Missouri. The design is based on Norse mythology and depicts Odin standing before the giant Mimir seeking to drink from the well of knowledge. The obverse depicts the ravens Hugin (Reflection) and Munin (Remembrance) which became the symbol of the American Radium Society.

title: Nitisol

text:
Nitisol, in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB), is a deep, red, well-drained soil with a clay content of at least 30% and a polyhedral structure or a blocky structure, breaking into a polyhedral or a flat-edged structure. The soil aggregates show pressure faces. Nitisols correlate with the kandic alfisols, ultisols and inceptisols of the''' USDA soil taxonomy.

These soils are found in the tropics and subtropics; there are extensive areas of them in the tropical highlands of Ethiopia, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon. Nitisols form from fine-textured material weathered from intermediate to basic parent rock and kaolinite, halloysite and iron oxides dominate their clay mineralogy.

Nitisols are technically defined by a significant accumulation of clay (30 percent or more by mass and extending as much as 150 cm [5 feet] below the surface) and by a blocky aggregate structure. Iron oxides and high water content are believed to play important roles in creating the soil structure. Nitisols are also strongly influenced by biological activity, resulting in a homogenization of the upper portion of the soil profile. These soils are related to the Alfisol and Inceptisol orders of the U.S. Soil Taxonomy. Related FAO soil groups originating in tropical climates and also containing layers with clay accumulations are Acrisols and Lixisols.

The Jason Collier Sportsmanship Award is an annual NBA G League award given since the league's inaugural National Basketball Developmental League season. The award honors the player who best represents the ideals of character and conduct on and off the court. The league's head coaches determine the award by voting and it is usually presented to the honoree during the G League playoffs. The award is named after former D-League, Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks center Jason Collier, who died on October 15, 2005. Collier was a player and person who exemplified the qualities of a faithful teammate, husband, father, son, brother and friend. He was ready to begin his sixth NBA season at the time of his death. Billy Thomas and Ron Howard have both won the award on two occasions.

title: Danish Vacation Law

text:
The Danish Holiday Act () is a Danish law regulating holiday time for employees.The act states how many days of paid holiday most employees in Denmark are legally entitled to. The law covers employees who receive wages for work performed in compliance with an employer, not including freelancers and employees working for the state.  A new law was passed on 25 January 2018 by the Danish Parliament. It consists of a new concept of concurrent holidays and includes a transition period from 1 September 2019 – 31 August 2020 before being implemented on 1 September 2020. The concept of concurrent holidays allows employees to earn 2.08 holiday days each month, which they have access to use immediately, as opposed to the old scheme where workers earned holiday days for the following year.

Danish Law
The Danish Holiday Act is administered by the Agency for Retention and Recruitment (Styrelsen for Fastholdelse og Rekruttering), which is part of the Ministry of Labour () and by a range of other authorities, including the holiday pay scheme, FerieKonto. A number of the provisions of the act may be waived under collective bargaining. The agency supports the Minister for Employment and the Danish Parliament with employment-related decisions that impact both citizens and businesses. The agency was founded in January 2014 to replace and combine two former agencies, The Labour Market Agency (Arbejdsmarkedsstyrelsen) and The Agency for Retention and Recruitment (Styrelsen for Fastholdelse og Rekruttering). The agency deals with employment decisions locally, regionally and nationally. The agency is split into 15 different offices, all focusing on different aspects of their overall responsibilities.

Relation to EU
Denmark has been a member of the European Union since 1973. Countries part of the EU are legally required to implement EU law in national law. This includes holiday time and other aspects, like maternity leave, parental leave, sick leave, other leave etc. The European commission deals with adapting and adopting new laws, in which anyone affected by the law can contribute to. After new laws are implemented, a commission ensures that all members are abiding by these policies. If countries fail to comply within a deadline set by the commission, infringement procedures may commence. The law in Denmark implements part of European Union directive 93/104/EC of 1993, for example Article 7, which states:
Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that every worker is entitled to paid annual leave of at least four weeks in accordance with the conditions for entitlement to, and granting of, such leave laid down by national legislation and/or practice.

History

The Holiday Act was established on 13 April 1938, giving workers’ the right to two weeks of paid holiday. The law progressed into the creation of the organisation, ‘People’s Holiday’ (), which was created to support and provide holiday opportunities for workers. Employees were granted holidays, so this organization was established to ensure they had somewhere to take them. They developed holiday towns (Esbjerg, Gilleleje, Middlefart, Karrebæksminde, Marielyst) and constructed hotels throughout several cities in Denmark. The establishment of the law and the People's Holiday organization meant that workers received time off and pay, which could both be spent at various holiday destinations throughout Denmark. By 1979, paid holiday days had increased to five weeks.

The most recent amendment to the act was to comply with the European Union legislation. The Danish Parliament formulated the amendments in 2018, to be set into action in 2020, which included the implementation of a transitional arrangement commencing in 2019. The previous law did not conform to international standards because not all workers in Denmark received five weeks of paid holiday. Under the previous regulation, workers earned holiday days for the succeeding holiday year. Inconsistent with EU legislation, employees new to the Danish working market, did not have any earned days of holiday to take their first year of employment.

Concurrent Holidays

As of 1 September 2020, the holiday scheme in Denmark will conform to the concept of concurrent holidays. Employees in Denmark will accumulate 2.08 days of paid holiday each month (a total of five weeks each year) which, authorized by the new amendment, can be used immediately. Employees will accumulate holiday days over 12 months (1 September – 31 August) and have 16 months (1 September – 31 December) to use at least four weeks of them. Employees should use fifteen days consecutively, equivalent to a three-week holiday during the main holiday period () from 1 May till 30 September.

Under the legislation, employees can decide to trade their holiday days for pay. This is allowed if in agreed upon with their employer and relates only to the fifth and additional sixth week () of holiday (which is not covered by the Holiday Act). If the employee meets the required guidelines, in terms of the amount and where the money stems from, they can trade their holiday days for pay at the end of the holiday year by filling out a form on the governmental website, Borger.dk.  Specific rules and procedures are typically found in the employment contracts or company handbooks.

Holiday Pay
The Danish Holiday Act enables employees to receive a wage during their five-week holiday. Employees either receive no deductions in pay when they are on holiday (paid holiday) or 12.5% of their annual pay (holiday allowance or ). Employees on paid holiday, receiving their normal income, also receive an additional bonus () of 1% of their income. These employees can choose to receive holiday allowance instead, at a rate of 12% of their annual pay without any bonus.

Holiday allowance is transferred to employees via different funds (e.g. FerieKonto or Feriepengeinfo) or directly from the employer. Employers make regular payments into the employees’ holiday account through the fund. The fund then distributes the money once the employee has applied for their allowance. This is done at least one month prior to their holiday via the government website, Borger.dk. The earliest they receive their allowance from the fund is 1 May and one month before their holiday.

If the employee resigns or is dismissed, they are still entitled to their accumulated holiday days and holiday pay. Paid holiday employees will receive their payment from the fund by applying via the government website, Borger.dk.

Transition Period
To implement the new holiday scheme, a transition period (1 September 2019 – 31 August 2020) was imposed. This was to ensure that employees do not accumulate double the amount of holiday days during the switch. The holidays earned throughout the transition period by employees will be kept in a new fund (Lønmodtagernes Dyrtidsfond) and disbursed once the employee leaves the labour market. This includes retirement, death, early retirement and leaving Denmark.

The holiday period will commence 1 May 2020 until 31 August 2020 during the transition period, and the 16.64 days obtained from 1 January 2019 to 31 August 2019 can be claimed then. Any holiday days not used will be carried over to the new scheme.

Employees new to the working market during the transition period
Employers entering the labour market during the transition period are eligible for ‘fund holidays’ () if they meet below prerequisites:

 They have accumulated less than 8.3 paid days of holiday from 1 January 2019 until 31 August 2019;
 Have received wage from 1 September 2019 to 31 December 2019

The ‘fund holidays’ allow those employers access to 8.3 paid holiday days in addition to their accumulated holiday, which can be used during the holiday period in the transition phase (1 May 2020 – 31 August 2020). The additional fund holiday allowances are disbursed from the new fund (Lønmodtagernes Dyrtidsfond) in the holiday period rather than with retirement.

Employment Termination
Employees terminating their employment contract need to inform their employer prior. The time of notice depends on how long they worked for the company. The employer is required to pay the holiday money for the vacation days not used before the employee stops permanently. Employees terminating their contract are only allowed to spend 25 days of holiday during the holiday year. Any transferred days of holiday will need to be disbursed as payment before the employee leaves the job.

If the employee terminates their employment contract due to retirement, they can receive all of their accumulated holiday as payment if they additionally receive pension from the state (not including early pension ()). If the employee receives holiday pay, the employer can disburse the accumulated holiday money directly. If the employee works during their retirement, they need to use their holiday days in order to get their holiday money.

Prevented From Taking Holiday

Sick before the holiday
If the employee becomes ill before they start their holiday, they are required to inform their employer of their situation immediately. The days spent sick on their holiday can be used at a later stage. If the employee recovers throughout the holiday, they can decide to come back to work (and use the whole holiday later) or use the remainder of their holiday days. They should update their employer with their decision. If their employer requests a medical certificate and the employee became sick before their holiday, the employer is liable for the costs.

Sick during the holiday
Employees that fall ill during their holiday can receive five replacement holiday days per year if they meet the following criteria:

 informed their employer of their illness;
 they have a medical certificate, obtained at their expense;
 they have been ill for more than five holiday days throughout the year.

Any replacement holiday days not used within the holiday period will be transferred to the following year.

Maternity, paternity or adoption leave
Employees on maternity, paternity or adoption leave accumulate holiday days if they receive wages from their employer on the leave and they are not getting maternity unemployment benefits from the state. They are not allowed to take a holiday during their leave. Employees prevented from taking their holiday due to their leave, can receive their accumulated holiday as payment or transfer their holiday days to the following holiday period if in agreement with their employer.

Moving abroad
If the employee moves abroad, terminating the employment contract in Denmark, they can receive their accumulated holiday days as payment. If the employee continues to work for their Danish corporation under the Danish Holiday Act, they will not receive their holiday days as a payment. The Faroe Islands and Greenland are not covered by the Danish Holiday Act, and therefore, Danish employees moving there to work will get their holiday disbursed as payment.

Other reasons

 Self-employed
 Position of trust (i.e. mayor or minister)
 In prison or another closed institution
 Involved in legal employment conflict
 Completing military services
 In dispute about holiday allowance and filed a claim
 Leave of absence to care for a sick or dying relative
 'Stay-at-home' position

If the employee is prevented from taking their holiday due to any of the above reasons, they can get their holiday days paid out. If the employee was prevented from taking their main holiday (three weeks between 1 May and 30 September), they can receive up to three weeks of holiday as payment. If the employee was prevented from taking their full holiday, they can receive their full holiday as payment. Employees need to apply to have their holiday disbursed as payment via the government website, Borger.dk.

Additional Sixth Week (Feriefridage)
Depending on occupation and whether an employee is working for the public or private sector, some workers receive an additional sixth week of paid holiday (). This is not included in the Danish Holiday Act but rather is part of the workers’ employment contract. People employed full time by the state or municipality (public sector) receive the sixth week of paid holiday. They have the option to use the days of holiday, have them transferred to the next holiday year or have their holiday pay paid out. Employment contracts state the terms and formalities, including when notice is required before going on holiday, and whether the employer can decline the requested holiday, etc.

Public Holidays
Employees do not have to work on public holidays in Denmark unless otherwise stated in their contract. This refers to holidays that occur throughout the working week, Monday to Friday. If the public holiday falls on a non-working day (weekend), it is not moved to the next working day, and employees do not receive any time off for the holiday. The following occasions are classified as public holidays in Denmark:

 New Year's Day
 Maundy Thursday ()
 Good Friday ()
 Easter Monday ()
 Great Prayer Day ()
 Ascension Day ()
 Whit Monday ()
 Christmas Day ()
 Boxing Day ()

Holiday or half days may also be given by different industries for the following days, not classified as national holidays but celebrated nationally:

 1 May
 Constitution Day ()
 Christmas Eve

Employees typically do not receive holiday allowance on public holidays unless otherwise stated in their employment contract.

title: Pink Music Festival 2014

text:
Pink Music Festival 2014 was the first edition of the Pink Music Festival contest organised by Serbian broadcaster RTV Pink and featuring artists from City Records. It was held in the RTV Pink studio in Šimanovci on the outskirts of Belgrade on 28 and 29 April 2014 and broadcast live on RTV Pink. All songs were mimed, which was much-criticised by the Serbian press.

Preparation
The contest was announced on 7 March 2014, and artists had a one-month window to submit songs before the deadline of 12pm on 6 April 2014. From the 700–800 songs submitted, the final lineup of 26 songs was chosen by a four-member selection committee comprising Željko Mitrović (director and editor-in-chief of RTV Pink), Milica Mitrović (RTV Pink programming executive), Darko Popović (RTV Pink PR manager) and Bane Stojanović (head of City Records). The list of entries was announced on 10 April, and the running order for the semi-final was drawn live on Pink TV on 12 April. Performances of the entries were filmed in the RTV Pink studio and published on YouTube on 16 April.

Format
The contest was split over 2 nights, with the semi-final being held on 28 April 2014 and the final on 29 April. The results of the semi-final were decided entirely by SMS voting, with the 10 songs that received the fewest votes being eliminated. Rather than a combined jury-televote system as in Eurovision since 2010, the final featured a separate Public Award (for the song with the most SMS votes) and Jury Award (for the song ranked highest by the jury), as well as an Artists' Award voted for by the competing singers, a Sponsors' Award chosen by the event's sponsors, and a YouTube Award for the song with the most YouTube views.

Entries

Semi-final
The semi-final was held on 28 April. Viewers could vote by SMS from the start of the show, and the 16 qualifiers to the final were decided entirely by the public vote.

Final
The final was held on 29 April in the RTV Pink studio in Šimanovci. Artists including Ceca, Dragana Mirkovic, Zeljko Joksimovic, Jelena Rozga and Aca Lukas performed in the interval.

The jury in the final comprised 10 journalists and entertainment executives:
 Ivan Vuković, editor-in-chief of Skandal magazine
 Tamara Drača, journalist for Star magazine
 Aleksandar Jovanović, editor of Telegraf online portal
 Ivona Palada Višnjić, journalist for Informer daily newspaper
 Sandra Rilak, journalist for Kurir daily newspaper
 Ljubica Arsenović, press, Radio S
 Danijela Petrović, press, DM SAT
 Srdjan Milovanović, owner of TV KCN Kopernikus
 Raka Marić, entertainment executive
 Bane Obradović, entertainment executive

Artists' Award voting

*After the first round of voting, there was a tie between Tropico Band, Željko Samardžic and Marina Visković, so a second round followed in which each contestant voted for one of the three.

title: Cochrane US Network

text:
The United States Cochrane Center (USCC) was one of the 14 centers on the world that facilitated the work of the Cochrane Collaboration.
The USCC was the reference center for all 50 US states and US territories, protectorates, and districts: the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. The USCC was also the reference Center for the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guam, Guyana, Jamaica, Japan, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. The USCC discontinued on February 7, 2018.

Historical overview

In the United States, there have been four Cochrane Centers since the start of the Cochrane Collaboration in October 1993.  The Baltimore Cochrane Center was launched soon after the launch of the Collaboration, officially in 1994, with Kay Dickersin as Director.  The San Francisco Cochrane Center was launched soon thereafter, in 1996, with Lisa Bero and Drummond Rennie as Co-Directors. The San Antonio Cochrane Center launched in 1994, with Cynthia Mulrow as Director, and the New England Cochrane Center launched in 1996 with Joseph Lau and Alexia Anczack-Bouckoms as co-Directors. In 1998, Kay Dickersin moved to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and with the move the Baltimore Cochrane Center was renamed the New England Cochrane Center, Providence Office.

The US centers had variable luck with obtaining sufficient infrastructure funding, and The San Antonio Cochrane Center closed in 2000. In December 2002, the remaining three centers (the New England Cochrane Center at Boston, the New England Cochrane Center at Providence, and the San Francisco Cochrane Center) merged to form a single registered entity with three offices, the US Cochrane Center (the USCC).  The Providence office became the first point of contact for the work of The Cochrane Collaboration in the United States and assumed responsibility for fulfilling the core Center functions.

In 2005, Kay Dickersin returned to Baltimore, to take up a post at Johns Hopkins University, and the USCC moved with her. The New England Cochrane Center Boston Office closed in February, 2008. In approximately 2006, Drummond Rennie moved out of the area, leaving his post as SF Branch Director, and Lisa Bero became the Center Director.

In June 2014, the San Francisco Branch of the United States (US) Cochrane Center changed its name to the West Coast Branch of the US Cochrane Center, and because of Lisa Bero’s emigration to Australia, a new Branch Director was announced, Mark Helfand located at Oregon Health and Science University.

On February 7, 2018, the USCC closed its doors.

Main Tasks
 Supporting Cochrane entities with a coordinating base in the US or one of the countries serviced by the Center. These include: Review Groups, Fields, and Methods Groups.
 Supporting new Cochrane Review Groups (CRGs), Fields, and Methods Groups who want to register with the Collaboration.
 Supporting individuals who seek information about and participation in the work of the Collaboration.

Offices

The USCC Main Office in Baltimore
The USCC main office in Baltimore was responsible for providing training and support for review authors, trials search coordinators (TSCs), review group coordinators (RGCs), editors, handsearchers, consumers, healthcare providers, policy makers, and others. In addition the main office of the USCC worked with international colleagues to provide training and support for others in the Collaboration who were responsible for training.

CENTRAL
Each Cochrane Center is responsible for a unique function within the Cochrane Collaboration.  For twelve years (1994 to 2005) the Baltimore Cochrane Center, and subsequently NECC@P, was responsible for coordinating CENTRAL, The Cochrane Collaboration’s central register of controlled clinical trials. CENTRAL was designed for use by members of the Collaboration’s review groups and others performing systematic reviews. CENTRAL serves both as a repository for trial reports identified by members of the Collaboration and as a source of trial reports from which Review Groups build their specialized registers. In late 1992, work began on development of a register of reports of controlled trials for use in conducting systematic reviews. The first meeting was held and the eligibility criteria were decided at the Cochrane Workshop on “Building a Register of RCTs” at Green College, Oxford, United Kingdom, November 8, 1992 and was attended by Iain Chalmers, Carol Lefebrvre and Kay Dickersin, among others. Definitions and eligibility criteria were decided then that continue to be used to this day.

Although the individuals interested in and key to the developments leading to international registers of randomized controlled trials were also leaders in the Cochrane Collaboration, a larger and more centralized group was felt to be a better location for a common resource. Accordingly, the U.S. National Institutes of Health and specifically the U.S. National Library of Medicine were approached about a partnership. The National Institutes of Health convened a meeting in December 1993 to consider the importance of registers of controlled trials for the promotion of evidence-based health care. One of the outcomes of that meeting was an agreement by National Library of Medicine to retag existing MEDLINE records of reports of RCTs and CCTs, identified by Cochrane collaborators and not already tagged as such, with the publication types (PTs) RANDOMIZED-CONTROLLED-TRIAL (RCT[PT]) and CONTROLLED-CLINICAL-TRIAL (CCT[PT]).

The USCC conducted the “MEDLINE Retagging Project” from 1994-2005 by submitting to MEDLINE all CCTs and RCTs it had identified that were not yet tagged RCT/PT or CCT/PT in MEDLINE. It identified these publications in two ways:  (1) collecting on a quarterly basis all CCT and RCT reports newly identified via handsearching by the approximately 50 Cochrane review groups, and (2) identifying all CCTs and RCTs not already identified as such on MEDLINE using electronic search methods.  CENTRAL was then created using two sources of information about published trial reports, periodic download of all records in MEDLINE tagged as RCT|PT and CCT|PT and submission of non-MEDLINE eligible citations (e.g., conference abstracts identified through handsearching) by the centers and review groups.

After 1994, when the new publication type tags were initiated, reports of trials missed by NLM’s MEDLINE indexing grew smaller with each year and the NLM decided not to fund the retagging Program after 2005. For the 1994-2005 time period, CENTRAL was funded mainly by the National Library of Medicine, and also by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The Packard Foundation, and the European Union Biomedical and Health Research Programmes I and II.

Some trials are still missed by the MEDLINE indexers however, and searches of other electronic bibliographic databases are required, so the effort to make CENTRAL a comprehensive database of studies possibly eligible for Cochrane reviews continues. Since 2005, development of CENTRAL has been conducted by Cochrane and John Wiley and Sons, publishers of The Cochrane Library.

Cochrane US - West
The Cochrane US - West Center operates out of Oregon Health & Science University and University of California, San Francisco. It develops guidance for systematic reviews of complex interventions and realist reviews of health policies, supports the production of high-quality reviews, and shares them with stakeholders on the west coast of the US to improve health decision making. The partnership is led by Director Jeanne-Marie Guise, MD, MPH, at OHSU, and Associate Director Dorie Apollonio, PhD, MPP, at UCSF. It is affiliated with the Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center, VA Portland Health Care System Evidence Synthesis Program, and Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research Northwest, the Review Groups Cochrane Back and Neck Group and Cochrane Fertility Regulation Group, and with Oregon Health Authority and Oregon's Health Evidence Review Commission. Cochrane US - West works with the Wiki Education Foundation and students at the UCSF School of Pharmacy to improve the quality of health-related Wikipedia articles, updating approximately 30 articles annually with information drawn from recent systematic reviews.

The Caribbean Branch of the USCC (CBUSCC)
The CBUSCC is the reference center for English-speaking Caribbean territories. Its development extends the services available to Cochrane contributors already working in the Caribbean region and also supports new authors.

title: Czech Vašek

text:
Czech Vašek (literal. "Czech Václav", German: "Böhmischer Wenzel") is a historical figure representing the national character of the Czech people used in time of national competition with German nationalism at the end of the 19th century.

Overview
Such figures differ from those that serve as personifications of the nation itself, as Čechie did the Czech nation and Marianne the French.  He is usually depicted in a folk costume combining hat from Pilsen region with clothes from different regions.

They were used as a negative caricature of Czechs by Germans, symbolising them as street musicians. But also positively by Czech themselves.

Czech Vašek is considered a counterpart to Deutscher Michel, a figure representing the national character of the German people.

title: Tromsø Burial

text:
The Tromsø Burial or Tromsø Grave Group is a significant hoard of Viking objects found near Tromsø, in the far north of Norway, in the late nineteenth century.  Since 1900, the group has been part of the British Museum's early medieval collection.

Discovery
This group of jewellery was found in a woman's grave near Tromsø in the late nineteenth century by the famous English adventurer Arnold Pike, who also spent the 1888/89 winter exploring the island of Spitsbergen. Pike is said to have excavated several mounds on the island of Tussøya, where this grave group was discovered, although the exact provenance remains sketchy. All the objects from the woman's grave were purchased by the British Museum in 1900.

Description
The hoard consists of various items of jewellery that were made in different parts of Europe. The two brooches are typically Scandinavian in design, but the patterned millefiori glass beads were imported from the Frankish kingdoms. The oval Viking brooch is decorated with a complex interlace pattern and the form of an unusual-looking animal, that seen from above, appears to cross its legs over its back. Other objects include a gilt copper disc-on-bow brooch, three rock crystal beads, a spindle-whorl and a necklace made of twenty two glass beads.

title: Alexios Aspietes

text:
Alexios Aspietes (, ) was a Byzantine governor and military leader who was captured by the Bulgarians, and led an anti-Bulgarian rebellion at Philippopolis in 1205, being acclaimed emperor by the citizens.

Life
A member of the Aspietes family, of noble Armenian origin, Alexios Aspietes was probably a relative of the generals Michael Aspietes and Constantine Aspietes, who were active in the late 12th century. Alexios Aspietes first appears in 1195, when he was governor of the town of Serres, and was ordered by Emperor Alexios III Angelos to march against the Bulgarian–Vlach rebellion of the brothers Peter and Ivan Asen. In the event, in the summer or autumn of the same year, Aspietes and his army were defeated by the rebels, who took many prisoners, including Aspietes himself.

Aspietes disappears from record for the next decade but was apparently released from captivity since in 1205 he is mentioned as being in Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv in Bulgaria). In the aftermath of the crushing victory by the Bulgarian tsar Kaloyan over the forces of the Latin Empire at the Battle of Adrianople on 14 April, the mostly Byzantine Greek citizenry of Philippopolis rose up in opposition to the imminent conquest of their city by Kaloyan, and proclaimed Aspietes as emperor. Kaloyan immediately turned his army on the city, and after a brief resistance, the inhabitants were forced to surrender on terms in June. Kaloyan, however, enraged by the Greeks' collusion with the Latins, did not keep his word and executed the city's leaders, including Aspietes who, according to Niketas Choniates, was first left hanging upside down before being dismembered and thrown into a ravine to be eaten by the vultures.
