title: Parafovea

text:
Parafovea or the parafoveal belt is a region in the retina that circumscribes the fovea and is part of the macula lutea. It is circumscribed by the perifovea.

Effect on reading
In reading, information within 1° (approximately 6–8 characters) of the point of fixation is processed in foveal vision, while information up to 6° of visual angle benefits from parafoveal preview. Studies have shown that people can tell the difference in the letters of a word in the fovea and near-parafovea (the part of the parafovea closest to the fovea), but not in the outer edges of the parafovea. In languages that read from left to right, the word immediately to the right of the fixated word is known as the parafoveal word. Information present in the parafovea can interact with information present in the fovea. The benefit the parafoveal preview has is also mediated by how common the word in the parafovea is, with less common words providing less of a reduction in fixation duration when they reach foveal fixation. As the clarity of information in the parafovea is not as great as in the fovea, the SWIFT model of eye movements in reading, while allowing for parallel processing, accounts for this difference by assigning the parafoveal less processing power the further away it is from the foveal fixation.

Effect on scene perception
Information in the parafovea can influence the processing of a scene. In categorization tasks of natural scenes information from the parafovea can be used to determine the gist of a scene well enough for a categorization judgement, though with reduced sensitivity and speed in comparison to foveal vision. An effect of parafoveal preview has also been found for emotional scenes presented in the parafovea, with people more likely shift their fixation point on emotional stimuli than neutral stimuli, when both options are presented parafoveally.

title: Renown Health

text:
Renown Health (formerly Washoe Health System) is the largest locally owned not-for-profit healthcare network in Northern Nevada. It has more than 6,500 employees system-wide and is one of Northern Nevada's largest employers.

History
Renown Health, formerly known as the Washoe Health System, was founded in 1862 during a smallpox outbreak. The clinic became the area's first hospital when Nevada became a state in 1864. In 1875, 40 acres were purchased and the hospital opened the following year with 40 beds. The region's first pediatrics unit opened at Washoe Medical Center in 1949. A heart care unit was established by the organization in 1963.  The organization established the first cancer treatment center in Northern Nevada in the 1970s. In 1979, the University of Nevada School of Medicine established a residency program at the hospital. The university later partnered with the hospital for brain fMRI research.

In 1984, Washoe Health System transitioned to a private not-for-profit health network and became the region's only Level II Trauma Center between Sacramento, California and Salt Lake City, Utah and Renown Pregnancy Center (formerly Washoe Pregnancy Center) was established. Renown launched its not-for-profit insurance division, Hometown Health in 1988. In 1993, the hospital established its Healing Art Program which has grown to include music at the bedside, art at the bedside, pet therapy, healing arts performances and healing gardens. In 1999, the organization partnered with Barton Memorial Hospital to increase the number of health care programs in Carson Valley.

In 2003, the organization expanded its services when it acquired a rehabilitation hospital. The region's first angiography biplane, used to treat patients who had a stroke, was introduced by the organization in 2004. That year, the first PET/CT was used for diagnosing and treating cancer in patients. In 2006, Washoe Health System changed its name to Renown Health. In 2007, Renown Health completed the Tahoe Tower at the Renown Regional Medical Center campus, a 10-story patient care tower featuring state-of-the art technology. Renown Health became the first hospital in Northern Nevada to perform robotic surgery using da Vinci Surgical System S HD in 2008. The area's first and only children's emergency room was opened in 2009, at the Renown Regional Medical Center. The emergency room was designed for patients under the age of 18 and included 11 children's exam rooms. The organization is the region's only Children's Miracle Network hospital.

In July 2014, Renown was the first on the west coast and fourth in the world to perform a surgery with the da Vinci Xi robotic surgical assistant. That year, Renown Health partnered with the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine to expand the medical school and increase the number of physicians who train and practice in Northern Nevada. In June 2016, Renown Health partnered with several Stanford University health facilities including Stanford Health Care, Stanford Children's Health and Stanford Medicine. The agreement was said to help reduce the need for patients to travel when seeking high-level care and allowed Stanford staff to be based in Northern Nevada. In August 2016, the organization received a $7.5 million donation from the William N. Pennington Foundation which helped it expand its pediatric care and form a pediatric medical residency partnership with University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine. Renown Health announced it would open a family practice clinic in South Reno in March 2017, bringing its total number of primary care clinics to 12. In April 2017, Renown Children's Hospital was the first hospital in Nevada to be certified by the National Safe Sleep Hospital Certification Program.

Leadership

In 2006, Jim Miller was leading the health care system when it changed its name from Washoe, a named dating to the 1870s as Washoe County Hospital, to Renown Health. The new name was part of a broader two-year, $275 million expansion.

In 2013, Miller stepped down from Renown in the wake of a business dispute and court settlement with cardiologists whose group had been acquired by Renown.

Anthony D. Slonim became president and CEO of Renown Health in May 2014.

In March 2022, Renown hospital system will have a new CEO effective immediately following a presentation of results from a personnel misconduct investigation. In a public statement released Thursday, the Renown Health Board of Trustees announced Anthony D. Slonim was terminated with cause as CEO of Renown Health. The outgoing executive will be replaced by Thomas R. Graf, M.D., FAAFP. In addition to Graf taking the CEO position, COO Sy Johnson will be serving as president, according to Renown.

In October 2022, Renown Health has selected Brian Erling, MD, MBA, as the health system's next CEO and president, effective November 14, 2022.

The Healthy Nevada Project
In September, 2016, Renown Health partnered with 23andMe and Desert Research Institute to provide 10,000 Northern Nevada residents with free genetic testing through the Healthy Nevada Project (HNP). The goal of the HNP is to study the complex relationship between a person's health, genetics, and environment. Public interest in the project resulted in rapid enrollment and an unexpectedly quick finish to the first phase of the study. This motivated an expansion of the project to encompass a total of 50,000 Nevadans.

In starting its second phase, the HNP partnered with personal genomics company Helix in order to gather exome sequencing data—greatly increasing the amount of genetic data collected. In exchange for participating in the HNP, Helix provided participants with a free genetic ancestry analysis as well as other educational insights. Phase II of the HNP launched on March 15, 2018. In October of that same year, HNP became one of the first population health studies in the country to return clinical results to study volunteers. Participants who opted-in to receiving clinical results were screened for genetic variants that significantly increase their risk of developing Familial Hypercholesterolemia, Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome, and Lynch Syndrome. In the first six months of phase II, approximately ~23,700 Nevadans were sequenced, 290 of which were found to have medically actionable results. The HNP has announced a plan to expand the project to a total of 250,000 Nevadans with expectations that approximately 1.3% will have results that are immediately impactful for their medical care.

title: Hermann von Kaulbach

text:
Hermann von Kaulbach (26 July 1846 in Munich – 9 December 1909 in Munich) was a German painter of the Munich School.

Life
Kaulbach was the son of painter Wilhelm von Kaulbach. He was originally a medical student at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich but, perhaps inspired by his father, quit school to study painting instead. In 1867, he became a student of Karl von Piloty. Under his influence, Kaulbach devoted himself almost entirely to historical themes. Ultimately though, he became best known for his portraits of children. He made two study trips to Rome, in 1880 and 1891. In 1886, he was appointed a Professor of History Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. In 1906 he published a picture book, with children as the motif, that sold 135,000 copies.

He was married to Sophie Schroll, the daughter of an engraver, and they had three children.
Many of his works are on display at the Museum in Bad Arolsen (his father's birthplace). His letters and other papers are in the collection of the German Literature Archive (part of the Museum of Modern Literature) in Marbach am Neckar. He is buried in the Alter Südfriedhof in Munich.

Criticism
Although his work was generally well received, he was occasionally criticized for giving too much attention to detail, while missing the significance of the painting's main subject. His portrait of Lucrezia Borgia created a controversy because it was considered "too lewd", and his version of the Coronation of St.Elizabeth by Emperor Frederick II was dismissed by some critics as "costume painting".

Major works
 "Hansel und Gretel bei der Hexe"  (Hansel and Gretel with the Witch; 1872, in the Municipal Gallery, Riga)
 "Mozarts Letzte Tage" (Mozart's Last Days; 1878, in the Municipal Gallery, Vienna)
 Portrait of Anton Bruckner, (1885, in the Oberösterreichischen Landesmuseum – Schlossmuseum, Linz)
 "Krönung der heiligen Elisabeth durch Kaiser Friedrich II" (Coronation of St.Elisabeth by Emperor Frederick II; 1886, in the Museum at Wiesbaden)
 "An der Grabstätte des Freundes" (At the Tomb of a Friend; 1888, in the Neue Pinakothek, Munich)

In 2014, she became the first openly lesbian woman elected attorney general of a U.S. state and the first openly LGBT person elected to statewide office in Massachusetts. In 2022, she became one of the first two openly lesbian women (alongside Tina Kotek) and the co-third openly LGBT person (alongside Tina Kotek and after Kate Brown and Jared Polis) elected governor of a U.S. state as well as the first woman elected governor of Massachusetts.

Early life and education
Born at the Bethesda Naval Hospital ("over Massachusetts soil" her parents brought into the room), Maura Tracy Healey grew up as the oldest of five brothers and sisters. When she was nine months old, her family moved to Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, where she was raised. Her mother was a nurse at Lincoln Akerman School in Hampton Falls; her father was a captain in the United States Public Health Service and an engineer. After divorcing, her mother sold her wedding ring to pay for a backyard basketball court. Healey's stepfather, Edward Beattie, taught history and coached girls' sports at Winnacunnet High School. Her family roots are in Newburyport and the North Shore area, while several of her grandparents and great-grandparents were born in Ireland.

Healey attended Winnacunnet High School, and majored in government at Harvard College, graduating cum laude in 1992. She was co-captain of the Harvard Crimson women's basketball team. After graduation, Healey spent two years playing as a starting point guard for a professional basketball team in Austria, UBBC Wustenrot Salzburg. Upon returning to the United States, she earned a Juris Doctor from Northeastern University School of Law in 1998.

Career
Healey began her legal career by clerking for Judge A. David Mazzone of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, where she prepared monthly compliance reports on the cleanup of the Boston Harbor and assisted the judge with trials, hearings, and case conferences. Healey subsequently spent more than seven years at the law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, where she worked as an associate and then junior partner and focused on commercial and securities litigation.

She also served as a special assistant district attorney in Middlesex County, where she tried drug, assault, domestic violence, and motor vehicle cases in bench and jury sessions and argued bail hearings, motions to suppress, and probation violations and surrenders.

Hired by Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley in 2007, Healey served as chief of the Civil Rights Division, where she spearheaded the state's challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act. She led the winning arguments for Massachusetts in the country's first lawsuit striking down the law.

In 2012, Healey was promoted to chief of the Public Protection and Advocacy Bureau. She was then appointed chief of the Business and Labor Bureau.

As a division chief and bureau head in the Attorney General's Office, Healey oversaw 250 lawyers and staff members and supervised the areas of consumer protection, fair labor, ratepayer advocacy, environmental protection, health care, insurance and financial services, civil rights, antitrust, Medicaid fraud, nonprofit organizations and charities, and business, technology, and economic development.

During a Zoom conference call on June 3, 2020, before 300 members of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, Healey asked for a call to action from business leaders to work to end racial inequalities and systemic racism. She ended her speech by saying, "Yes, America is burning, but that's how forests grow."

Attorney General of Massachusetts (2015–2023)

Elections

2014

In October 2013, Healey announced her candidacy for attorney general. Coakley was retiring from the office to run for governor. On September 9, 2014, Healey won the Democratic primary by 126,420 votes, defeating former State Senator Warren Tolman, 62.4% to 37.6%.

Healey's campaign was endorsed by State Senators Stan Rosenberg, Dan Wolf, Jamie Eldridge and America's largest resource for pro-choice women in politics, EMILY's List. It was also endorsed by Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan, Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse, Fitchburg Mayor Lisa Wong, and Northampton Mayor David Narkewicz. Organizations that endorsed the campaign include the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts, MassEquality, and the Victory Fund. Healey wrote an op-ed in the Worcester Telegram and Gazette on upholding the Massachusetts buffer zone law, which she worked on at the Attorney General's Office. She also authored an op-ed in The Boston Globe outlining her plan to combat student loan predators.

Healey defeated Republican nominee John Miller, an attorney, in the general election, 62.5% to 37.5%. Upon taking office, she became the United States' first openly lesbian state attorney general.

2018

On November 6, 2018, Healey was reelected Massachusetts Attorney General, defeating Republican nominee James McMahon with 69.9% of the vote.

Tenure

Healey's plan to reduce gun violence addresses what she perceives as its root causes. The program includes enhancing the background check system to include information regarding recent restraining orders, pending indictments, and any relations to domestic violence, parole, and probation information. The plan also seeks to track better stolen and missing guns. Healey advocates fingerprint trigger locks and firearm micro-stamping on all guns sold in Massachusetts.

Healey's plan for criminal justice reform includes ending mandatory sentences for nonviolent drug offenders and focusing on treatment rather than incarceration.

Healey plans to combat prescription drug abuse and Massachusetts's heroin epidemic by implementing a "lock-in" program. The program will be carried out in pharmacies to identify and track prescription drug abusers and distributors. Her plan includes deployment of new resources to drug trafficking hotspots, improvement of treatment accessibility, and expanding access to Narcan.

Abortion
Healey's women's rights platform focuses on sex education, expanding access to abortion services in Massachusetts, and ensuring that every woman in Massachusetts has access to abortion regardless of where she lives, her occupation, or her income.

Gun control
On July 20, 2016, Healey announced her intention to ban the manufacturing of most assault rifles in Massachusetts.

Trump administration
On January 31, 2017, Healey announced that her office was joining a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's Executive Order 13769, commonly known as a "Muslim ban." Healey condemned the order as "motivated by anti-Muslim sentiment and Islamophobia, not by a desire to further national security." A federal court eventually struck the order down on similar grounds.

On March 9, 2017, Healey announced that her office was joining a lawsuit challenging Trump's Executive Order 13780. She said the new order, a revised version of the one that had been struck down, "remains a discriminatory and unconstitutional attempt to make good on [Trump's] campaign promise to implement a Muslim ban." The order has been blocked in various federal courts on similar grounds.

On May 11, 2017, after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, Healey led efforts calling for a special counsel to investigate Russia's meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Her office sent a letter to that effect, signed by 20 Attorneys General across the nation, to Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. On May 17, Rosenstein appointed a special counsel, former FBI director Robert Mueller.

Purdue Pharma

In 2021, Healey announced a resolution against the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma. The resolution requires a payment of more than $4.3 billion for prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts in communities across the country. It will also require Purdue Pharma to be wound down or sold by 2024 and ensure that the Sacklers are banned from the opioid business and required to turn over control of family foundations to an independent trustee to be used to address the opioid epidemic.

Governor of Massachusetts

Elections

2022

On January 20, 2022, Healey announced her candidacy in the 2022 Massachusetts gubernatorial election. Her announcement came after the incumbent governor, Charlie Baker, a Republican, announced he would not seek reelection. On September 6, 2022, Healey won the Democratic primary election. She defeated Sonia Chang-Diaz, who withdrew from the primary. Healey was endorsed by Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey.

On November 8, 2022, she defeated Geoff Diehl, the Republican nominee, in the general election, which made her the nation's first openly lesbian governor. She was inaugurated on January 5, 2023.

Tenure

The day after being sworn in, Healey signed an Executive Order establishing the Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience and creating a cabinet-level position of Climate Chief to head the office. According to Healey, the office will be tasked with working with state and local leaders to help the Commonwealth reach its climate goals and help coordinate the efforts. The Climate Chief will also be the governor's primary advisor on climate issues. Healey appointed Melissa Hoffer to the role.

In February 2023, the Healey administration announced a $742 million tax cut package to be filed as an addition to its proposed fiscal year 2024 budget. Among the proposals included was an increase in the child and family tax credit from $240 to $600 per child or dependent. The plans also increase the rental deduction cap from 50% of rent up to $3,000 to 50% of $4,000. Under the proposal, the state's short-term capital gains tax is reduced from 12% to 5% and the estate tax threshold is raised from $1 million to $3 million. The state legislature passed a scaled-back version of this proposal that increased the child and dependent tax credit to $310 for the 2023 tax year and $440 for following years. The short-term capital gains tax was reduced to 8.5% and the estate tax was eliminated for all estates under $2 million. Healey signed these changes into law on October 4, 2023.

At a news conference held at Bunker Hill Community College in March 2023, Healey announced a $20 million appropriation to her 2024 fiscal year state budget proposal to create a free community college program, "MassReconnect", for Massachusetts residents 25 or older with a secondary school degree or post-secondary course credits, to address the skills gap in the state workforce. The state legislature approved the plan as part of the 2024 fiscal year state budget, which Healey signed into law in August.

Personal life
In July 2022, Healey moved from Boston to Cambridge, Massachusetts. She plays basketball recreationally. On January 9, 2023, shortly after being inaugurated as governor, Healey announced that she is in a relationship with attorney Joanna Lydgate, her former chief deputy. She clarified that their relationship did not begin until Lydgate had departed the role to co-found the States United Democracy Center, a voting rights advocacy organization.

The National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2013 () is a bill that would reauthorize the National Integrated Drought Information System, a program that examines the impact of droughts and tries to respond to them on a federal level. The bill would extend the program until 2018.

The National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2013 was introduced into the 113th United States Congress. A similar measure, the Drought Information Act of 2013 (S. 376; 113th Congress), was introduced into and passed the United States Senate. President Barack Obama signed the National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2013 into law as  on March 6, 2014.

Background

The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) Act was signed into law in 2006 (Public Law 109-430). The Western Governors' Association described the need for NIDIS in a 2004 report, Creating a Drought Early Warning System for the 21st Century: The National Integrated Drought Information System. The NIDIS Act calls for an interagency, multi-partner approach to drought monitoring, forecasting, and early warning, led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The law also created the U.S. Drought Portal. NIDIS is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the Climate Program Office.

At the time that this legislation was being consider in committee, there were serious on-going water shortages in the United States. A drought that started in 2012 caused "some of the Great Lakes to drop to record lows," hurt farms, and effected shipping on the Mississippi River.

Provisions of the bill
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.

The National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2013 would amend the National Integrated Drought Information System Act of 2006 to specify that the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) Program's purpose shall be to better inform and provide for more timely decisionmaking to reduce drought related impacts and costs.

The bill would revise NIDIS functions to require the NIDIS, among other things, to: (1) provide certain information, forecasts, and assessments described in the Act on both national and regional levels; (2) build upon existing forecasting and assessment programs and partnerships through designation of one or more cooperative institutes to assist with NIDIS functions; and (3) continue ongoing research and monitoring activities related to drought.

The bill would require the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere (who is also the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)) to report to Congress on the NIDIS Program.

The bill would reauthorize NIDIS through FY2018.

Congressional Budget Office report

This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology on December 5, 2013. This is a public domain source.

H.R. 2431 would amend the National Integrated Drought Information System Act of 2006. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $13.5 million annually over the 2014-2018 period for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to maintain a system to provide early warnings of droughts by collecting and disseminating information and coordinating research on drought conditions.

Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $60 million over the 2014-2018 period and $8 million after 2018. Enacting H.R. 2431 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

H.R. 2431 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

Procedural history
The National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2013 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on June 19, 2013 by Rep. Ralph M. Hall (R, TX-4). The bill was referred to the United States House Committee on Science, Space and Technology and the United States House Science Subcommittee on Environment. On February 7, 2014, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced that H.R. 2431 would be on the House schedule for February 11 or 12th, 2014, to be considered under a suspension of the rules. On February 10, 2014, the House voted in Roll Call Vote 55 to pass the bill 365-21. On February 25, 2014, the United States Senate voted to pass the bill by unanimous consent. President Barack Obama signed it into law as  on March 6, 2014.

Debate and discussion
Rep. Ralph Hall, speaking in support of the bill, said that "the National Integrated Drought Information System has been a highly effective program that provides the best available information and tools to monitor and predict droughts, assess the potential impacts, and better prepare for and mitigate the effects of droughts."

Supporters of the bill argued that the system is necessary to collect information needed to analyse weather and climate data. Executive Director of the Western States Water Council Tony Willardson argues in favor of the bill, saying that "it's hard to analyze data you don't have... NIDIS is a very important tool for evaluating the impacts of drought. It's what we've been looking for, for a long time, as a clearinghouse of drought information."

title: Arthur Fry (footballer)

text:
Albert Arthur Fry (1861 – 13 March 1937) was an English footballer. Originally from Portsmouth, Fry was one of the first players for St. Mary's Y.M.A. (later renamed St. Mary's), between 1885 and 1891, playing in a number of different positions including forward and goalkeeper.

Life and career
Originally from nearby Portsmouth, Arthur Fry (nicknamed "Father Fry" by his teammates) was one of the first players to join St. Mary's Y.M.A., playing in the team's first match in November 1885 holding the role of team captain. A versatile footballer, Fry played in "nearly every position" for the Saints, including goalkeeper; playing as a centre forward, he scored five goals in a 10–0 win over Petersfield in the Hampshire Junior Cup in December 1887, a club record for goals by a single player in a cup match which was later equalled by Derek Reeves in 1960.

Following his retirement from football in 1891, Fry worked as a teacher at various schools in Southampton, including as the headmaster of Foundry Lane School for 22 years from 1902 until his retirement in 1924. Shortly after attending the Golden Jubilee of the club in 1935, Fry died in March 1937 at the age of 75.

title: Della (film)

text:
Della is a 1964 American made-for-television drama film starring Joan Crawford, Paul Burke, Charles Bickford and Diane Baker. Directed by Robert Gist, the film was originally produced by Four Star Television as a television pilot for a proposed NBC series named Royal Bay which was to star Burke as a lawyer and Bickford as his cantankerous, righteous father.

Following the successful film-to-television progressions of movie stars such as Lucille Ball and Barbara Stanwyck, Crawford attempted the same maneuver with Royal Bay, a soap opera in a fictional seaside town where she was the wealthy matriarch and daughter of the town's founder. However, the pilot centered on the two characters that would most likely not reprise their role for the series, mother and daughter Della and Jenny Chappell. This may have been one of the reasons the pilot was released as a standalone film instead of the start of a series.

Plot
Della Chappell (Joan Crawford) is a reclusive wealthy woman, consumed by power and dedicated to protecting the future of her daughter Jenny (Diane Baker). Her father founded the town of Royal Bay and she still owns most of it. An outside company wants to buy parts of the town for development but Della refuses to consider the option. Barney Stafford (Paul Burke), a lawyer representing the developers' interests, butts heads with Della frequently.

She invites him to her home for a meeting at 2:00 AM. Barney, eager to settle the matter, heads over to Della's estate and instead he meets Jenny.  Barney notices strange happenings at the house, such as everyone sleeping during the day and all business is conducted in the middle of the night. He comes to learn that Jenny has a skin condition that prevents her from being in the light and keeps her inside the home at all times. At a particularly tense meeting, Della attempts to employ Barney in a veiled attempt to buy his company for Jenny.

After a discussion with his father, Barney goes to apologize to Della. After all is revealed (why Jenny must never leave) Barney leaves, presumably for good. Angry and upset, Jenny then leaves the house and ultimately crashes her car because she is disoriented and is killed.

title: No Dessert, Dad, till You Mow the Lawn

text:
No Dessert Dad, till You Mow the Lawn is a 1994 American comedy film directed by Howard McCain and starring Robert Hays and Joanna Kerns.

Synopsis
Two parents (Hays and Kerns) buy self-hypnosis tapes in order to quit smoking.  The kids find the tapes and add subliminal suggestions that turn them into cool parents.

Joanna Kerns - Carol Cochran
Joshua Schaefer - Justin Cochran

Jimmy Marsden - Tyler Cochran
Richard Moll - Boot Camp Sergeant
Lyman Ward - Larry Driscoll
Corbin Allred - Moonpie
Michael James McDonald - Evil Hypnotist
Heather Campbell - Enemy Player
Ted Davis - Vaneet

Reception
In a negative review, Paul Cullum wrote, "No Dessert Dad adheres strictly to the point of view built into the title that of kids goofing on short-sighted oblivious parents but the meandering narrative creates the feeling of something made up as it goes along, much as a four-year-old might tell a story. This, coupled with largely infantile humor, leaves the queasy but vivid impression that this is a film written not only for kids, but quite possibly by kids. None of this will is likely dissuade the post-linear, computer-driven, cybergarten audience, but it promises to be slow going for anyone over the age of 10."

Radio Times had a negative review of the film, stating, "This rare foray by producer Roger Corman into PG territory is a surprisingly reprehensible family film. ... Though the premise may not bother children, they might share their parents' discomfort, not just at the film's cold tone, but also its attempts to find humour in cat faeces and cracks about incest. Bruce Elder of The Sydney Morning Herald praised the film, calling it "cute fantasy" and "mildly amusing". Mick Martin and Marsha Porter gave the film three stars, saying about the film's parents, "Watching their transformation from strung-out chain-smokers to vibrant, healthy parents is both funny and poignant." Stan James of The Advertiser wrote that the film was "a certain winner in a strange title competition" and "This harmless fare has its moments, some of them funny."

title: Esteban Mestivier

text:
Esteban Mestivier (died 1832) served as the Argentine Military and Civil commander in the Falkland Islands for a brief period in 1832.  His appointment to the role was gazetted in the British and Argentine Packet News in September 1832.  The announcement led to the British consul issuing a note of protest, which other than a brief acknowledgement from Argentina went unanswered.  This combined with the USS Lexington raid of 1831, is considered to have prompted the British to send a small naval patrol to re-assert British sovereignty in the Falkland Islands.

Arriving in October 1832, he was murdered in a mutiny the following month.  There are few reliably known details of his early life and even the exact circumstances of his death are unclear.

Early life

There is very little known for certain about Mestivier's life. He was French-born but even his name is not known with certainty.  The Argentine historian Paul Groussac (also of French origin) refers to him as Jean or Juan, but reflecting a custom of hispanicising Christian names he is generally referred to as Major Esteban Mestivier in Argentine literature.

There are records of Mestivier serving in the campaigns against the aboriginal people in the region around Bahia Blanca.  This was at the time the southern boundary of the United Provinces of South America one of the precursor states of what is now Argentina.  In the 7th Cavalry he served as a First Lieutenant, was promoted to captain in 1828 and to brevet major in 1829.

Deployment to the Falklands
Following the USS Lexington raid of 1831, Luis Vernet refused to continue as military and civil commander in the Falkland Islands. President Juan Rosas conferred upon Mestivier the appointment of interim military and civil commander on 10 September 1832.  This was subsequently confirmed by being gazetted in the British and Argentine Packet News on 15 September 1832. The announcement provoked a protest from the British minister in Buenos Aires, Henry Fox, on 28 September 1832, which like the protests of 1829 against Vernet's appointment, went unanswered apart from a brief acknowledgement.  This, combined with the Lexington raid of 1831 prompted the British to send a naval patrol to re-assert sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

On 23 September 1832, Mestivier departed on board the ARA Sarandi commanded by Major Pinedo, accompanied by his pregnant wife and a garrison of 25 men together with their wives and children.  This small garrison included criminals released from prison to serve in the army. Some of Vernet's men also took passage including William Dickson and Henry Metcalfe, Vernet's deputy Matthew Brisbane acted in the capacity of pilot for the Sarandi.

On 10 October 1832, Mestivier performed a ceremony formally claiming the islands for the United Provinces.

Death
Mestivier was a harsh disciplinarian, which resulted in a mutiny against his authority. The exact circumstances of Mestivier's death are not certain. What is known is that on 21 November 1832, the Sarandi departed on patrol and on 30 November 1832 Mestivier was shot and then bayoneted to death by four of the mutineers. The historian Antonio Lastra indicates a couple who ran the bar were also murdered. The mutineers then stole horses and fled. Mestivier was buried immediately but his grave was not marked.

Aftermath
Adjutant Juan Antonio Gomila, Mestivier's second-in-command, moved into the house and announced he proposed to share a bedroom with Mestivier's widow. It was later learned that Gomila was  implicated in the mutiny. The crews of the British sealer Rapid and the French whaler Jean Jacques witnessed the mutiny and took action.  Mestivier's widow was taken on board the Rapid. Gauchos from Vernet's settlers together with armed men from the Jean Jacques captured the mutineers near what is now known as Estancia and imprisoned them on board the Rapid.

The Sarandi returned a month later and its commander Jose Pinedo took control. His investigation was interrupted on 2 January 1833 by the arrival of HMS Clio under the command of Captain Onslow.  Onslow had been sent to assert British sovereignty over the islands and requested that the Sarandi and garrison leave the islands. The Sarandi and the Rapid departed on 5 January 1833 taking the mutineers to Buenos Aires.

On return to Buenos Aires, the mutineers were put on trial.  Seven were convicted of mutiny and condemned to death, and two others received jail sentences and a flogging. On 8 February 1833, those sentenced to death were executed by firing squad and their bodies gibbeted on the gallows for four hours. The two sentenced to prison escaped the more severe punishment by extending their service in the army. The clemency shown to Adjutant Gomila (who was exiled) was bitterly criticised by Mestivier's widow.

title: Alfred Fry

text:
Alfred George Fry (1864 – 15 May 1930) was an English footballer. Born in Southampton, Fry was one of the first players for St. Mary's Y.M.A. (later renamed St. Mary's), between 1885 and 1888, playing as a half-back.

Life and career
Originally from Southampton, Alfred Fry was one of the first players to join St. Mary's Y.M.A., playing in the team's first match in November 1885. Primarily a half-back, Fry made two competitive appearances in the club's third season, in the 1–0 win over Totton and the 10–0 win over Petersfield, both in the Hampshire Junior Cup. Following his retirement from football, Fry went on to become a "prominent builder" in the area; he died in 1930, aged 66.

title: 200 metres at the Olympics

text:
The 200 metres at the Summer Olympics has been contested since the second edition of the multi-sport event. The men's 200 m has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since 1900 and the women's 200 m has been held continuously since its introduction at the 1948 Games. It is the most prestigious 200 m race at elite level. The competition format typically has three or four qualifying rounds leading to a final race between eight athletes.

The Olympic records for the distance are 19.30 seconds for men, set by Usain Bolt in 2008, and 21.34 seconds set by Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988. The men's world record was set at the Olympics in 1956, 1960 (twice), 1968, 1996 and 2008. The women's world record has similarly been linked to the competition, with records coming at the Olympic Games in 1952 (twice), 1956, 1968, 1972 and 1988 (twice). Griffith-Joyner's 1988 Olympic mark remains the world record for the distance, while Bolt's Olympic record is the third fastest of all-time.

Only three athletes have won the title more than once. Bärbel Wöckel of East Germany became the first to defend the title in 1980 and Veronica Campbell-Brown repeated that feat in 2008. Usain Bolt was the first person to win two Olympic 200 m gold medals at the 2012 Summer Olympics, and at the 2016 Summer Olympics he defended his title to win his third Olympic 200 m gold medal. Merlene Ottey is the most decorated athlete, having won four medals in the event (though none of them gold). Allyson Felix has won three medals, as has Poland's Irena Szewińska. Reflecting how sprint athletes often compete over various distances, many of the medalists in the Olympic 200 metres have had success in the Olympic 100 metres and 4×100 metres relay as well.

The United States has had the most success in the event, having 23 gold medals and 57 medals in total. American men have completed a medal sweep on six occasions. Jamaica is the next most successful, with five gold among their seventeen medals, and became the second nation to sweep the men's medals in 2012. No nation has swept the women's medals; the United States is the only nation to have won both gold and silver in the same year (in 1984).

The 1968 medal podium ceremony for the men's 200 metres witnessed a prominent political protest in the form of a Black Power salute by the African-American medalists Tommie Smith and John Carlos. The third medalist, Peter Norman of Australia, wore a badge for the Olympic Project for Human Rights in solidarity.

Non-canonical Olympic events
In addition to the main 1900 Olympic men's 200 metres, a 220-yard dash handicap race was also held. The winner was J. McGann for the United States, who ran an estimated 22.8 seconds with a ten-yard start. Frank Lukeman of Canada was second, also with a ten-yard handicap, and American C. Turner was third with a two-yard handicap.

This event is no longer considered part of the official Olympic history of the 200 metres or the athletics programme in general. Consequently, medals from this competition have not been assigned to nations on the all-time medal tables.

title: Esbjerg Printing Museum

text:
The Esbjerg Printing Museum () is located in the city of Esbjerg in the southwest of Jutland, Denmark. Established in 1979, it traces the history of the art of printing from the beginning of the 20th century until it was replaced by more rapid technologies. The collection includes a variety of equipment used to print books and newspapers, mainly from Germany and Denmark.

History
The members of Esbjerg typografiske Laug were themselves typographers. As they had difficulty in storing the machines they acquired, they ended up in various locations throughout Esbjerg. Prior to the opening of the museum, a composing machine and a printing press were stored in a garage in Neptunvej.

The building in which the museum is housed was originally a farm produce facility built by Niels Hedegaard in 1905 for packing eggs and butter for export. In 1953, the property was purchased by I.C. Nielsen who used it as a smithy. In 1978, it was acquired by the local authority who made it available for Esbjerg typografisk Laug (Esbjerg Typographical Guild) who established the Bogtrykmuseet i Esbjerg in 1881.

The Museum's supporters organization has about 700 members.

Museum
In the Composing Room, there are over a hundred wood and lead types. There are four fully operational type-setting machines: a Typograph, two Intertypes and a Linotype, all over a hundred years old. The Museum contains a large collection of printing types, displacing a fraction of its large collections of type cases for different font sizes from small lead and types including large carved pear-wood type, as well as composing tools and composing sticks. The Printing Room houses a collection from the Eickhoff factory in Copenhagen which was active from the 1890s until the mid-20th century.

title: Connie Moran

text:
Connie Moran (born May 18, 1956) is an American politician and the former mayor of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. She was defeated after three terms by Republican candidate Shea Dobson in the June 6, 2017 election. First elected to the position in 2005, Moran served three terms as mayor of the city. She was re-elected in 2009 and 2013, winning 62% of the vote in the latter year. Moran has served as president of Moran Consultants, a firm providing marketing and development service. She also served for three years as director of Jackson County Economic Development, and for five years before that as managing director of the State of Mississippi European Office in Frankfurt, Germany, where she recruited new business to the state.

Early life
Moran was born May 18, 1956, and was adopted as a child. Moran is a native of Ocean Springs. Moran's family has been in business in Ocean Springs for over 140 years. Her grandfather, A. P. "Fred" Moran, was a county supervisor for 40 years, and her father, John Duncan Moran, was a city alderman.

Education
Moran graduated from Georgetown University with bachelor's and master's degrees in finance/economics and international commerce. She graduated cum laude. Moran conducted graduate research at the Institute of World Economics in Germany as a Fulbright Scholar. She was also an economist at the World Trade Organization in Geneva. She is a former Robert Bosch Foundation Fellow, where she worked for the German Ministry of Finance. In 2006, she was selected to be the Bosch Alumna of the Year for her leadership in Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts.

Political career

Mayorship
Moran was elected mayor of Ocean Springs in 2005. She was re-elected in 2009 and 2013. She was defeated in her re-election bid by Republican challenger Shea Dobson on June 6, 2017.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast six weeks after Moran took office as mayor in 2005. When Katrina destroyed 150 miles of coastline on August 29, 2005, Ocean Spring's waterfront was devastated, but the historic downtown suffered no storm surge, and the damage was limited to roofs, windows and storefronts. Moran drew on her background as an economic development expert to develop a plan to rebuild the city, structurally and economically, while trying to retain the city's historical value and contain urban sprawl while still advocating for growth.

The mayor first gained national attention when she locked horns with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Moran preferred "Katrina Cottages" to standard-issue mobile homes, which would likely not be used as permanent housing. Moran said she wanted to be sure one of the oldest French colonies in the country (Ocean Springs was founded in 1699) maintained an element of traditionalism even as it recovered from the storm. FEMA allocated almost $400 million to bring in the alternate structures.

First Lady Laura Bush toured Ocean Springs and the Katrina Cottages with Moran in February 2007.

Treasurer campaign
Moran ran for Mississippi State Treasurer in 2011. She received the Democratic Party nomination, but was defeated by Republican candidate Lynn Fitch in the general election.

Public Service Commissioner Campaign

Moran ran for PSC in the Southern District in 2019, and won the Democratic nomination with 78.3% of the vote. She faced Dane Maxwell, Mayor of Pascagoula in the general election and lost.

Personal life
Moran has one daughter, Magdeleine, born in 1995, who has cerebral palsy and autism. Moran is a Catholic; her official biography describes her as a "lifelong member" of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. Moran, who was adopted, met her birth mother, Claudia Fishburne Rogers, for the first time in 2005.

Moran is active in civic and charitable organizations, and has served as a board director for Jackson County United Way, YMCA, and Boys and Girls Clubs. She is a member of Rotary International, and board director for the Friends of Mary C for Arts, Culture and Education, Girl Scouts of South Mississippi, and the League of Women Voters of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  Moran has served on the National Board of Directors for the Congress on New Urbanism. She has also served on the Jackson County Port Authority of Commissioners, the Board of Trustees of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, and the Governor's Commission on Developmental Disabilities.

title: Ice cross downhill

text:
Ice cross downhill is a winter extreme sporting event which involves direct competitive downhill skating on a walled track featuring sharp turns and high vertical drops.  Ice cross downhill is similar to ski cross and boardercross, except with ice skates on an ice track, instead of using skis or snowboards on a snow track.

Events were held under the name Red Bull Crashed Ice from 2001-2019, and have been sanctioned by the ATSX since 2019.

Course configurations and equipment

Courses

Contestants race down the course's turns, berms, and jumps. After racing one after another in the time trials, typically there are four racers starting each race.

Equipment

Racers wear helmets, ice hockey equipment, bandy equipment, ringette equipment, or in some cases equipment from other sports. Ice hockey skates and bandy skates are used. Ice hockey skates have a design whose blade is cut to create two working edges giving downhill skaters control and the ability to make sharp turns and stops. Bandy skates have flatter, longer blades and typically do not have a tendon guard, however they do not have the same turning ability that ice hockey skates do.

In 2015, Sadie Lundquist discussed the ice cross downhill equipment racers were using during an interview:

Contestants

Racers are typically ice hockey players, though ringette players, bandy players, speed skaters, and figure skaters have also competed.

America's seven-time single event winner Jasper Felder is particularly notable. Felder was a bandy player who represented the USA for the United States national bandy team, and while in ice cross dowhill, represented Sweden. Finland's Salla Kyhälä has also competed, a ringette player from Finland's national ringette team who also played in Canada's National Ringette League.

title: The Bing Crosby Show (TV special)

text:
The Bing Crosby Show is a 1954 American television special. Bing Crosby's first television special, it was directed by Fred de Cordova, it originally aired in the United States on January 3, 1954. Guest stars included Jack Benny and Sheree North, with Ken Carpenter as the announcer.

Background
Bing Crosby was slow to become involved in television, unlike rivals such as Perry Como and Frank Sinatra. Bob Hope too was another who embraced the medium early on. Crosby began filming his first “special” in December 1953 for CBS-TV on Stage Three of the General Service Studios in Hollywood. General Electric were the sponsors. Interviewed by Newsweek at the time Crosby said, “I’ve always felt television is just like movies, but it’s in the home. I wouldn’t want to be in anybody’s home too often, and you wouldn’t want to see a movie starring the same person every week.”
The 30-minute show was transmitted on January 3, 1954 and was preceded by a major publicity drive.

The show
The show opened with Bing welcoming the viewers and then going into a dance routine as he sang “Y’all Come”.  He then segued in to a song – “It Had to be You” – accompanied only by Buddy Cole on the piano. The next scene showed visitors touring the television studio and being joined by Jack Benny who is escorting Sheree North. Jack is concerned about Crosby being nervous and when he joins Bing, he tries to calm him down despite Crosby obviously being utterly relaxed. Bing then sings “Changing Partners” and is followed by Sheree North doing a raunchy burlesque dance which drew some press criticism. To conclude the show Bing sings “I Love Paris” against a city rooftop backdrop and is joined by Barbara Logan who purports to be walking through the city on her way to Ohrbach's for a fashion show.

Reception
Critics generally liked the show with Daily Variety saying:
“That old charmer, head of the Crosby clan, finally showed his face around television. On his own show, that is. The millions who made up the vast welcoming committee must’ve shared the same thought - he was well worth sticking around for. One word description of his coming out party: Socko!”
Others were less enthusiastic with Billboard stating “It’s difficult to believe that the show was produced by the same men responsible for his delightfully informal radio airers.” Some would have preferred a “live” Crosby instead of the filmed version. The Los Angeles Times was unhappy with the use of a laugh-track.

Crosby filmed another special for General Electric which was shown in April 1954 and he then virtually avoided television until 1957.
