Anice Badri (; born 18 September 1990) is a Tunisian professional footballer who plays as a forward.

Club career
Anice Badri spent his childhood in Lyon, his hometown. At the age of 13, he joined the Olympique Lyonnais training center and played for three years in the youth teams of the club. In 2006, he suffered a herniated disc and must stop football for more than a year. He found the ground in 2008 at AS Saint-Priest, where he remained a year under the team under 19 years. He then moved to Monts d'Or Azergues Foot where he joined the first team in July 2010. He only played five matches in CFA2 until September of this year, when he joined Lille OSC, club reserve team. He played for two and a half years, playing 40 games for 9 goals.

On 31 January 2013, Badri was loaned to Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz, a Belgian Second Division team. He is regularly lined up and his loan extended for a season. He became a holder during the 2013–2014 and was an important part in the victory of the club in the final round for the accession to the Belgian First Division A, he scored a goal at each of the last three matches. He is transferred free of charge by Mouscron-Péruwelz on 3 July 2014 and scored a goal for his first match in Belgian First Division A against Anderlecht. He was holder at each match during the first lap but then sees his second half of the season disturbed by minor injuries.

After his unsuccessful career in France and Belgium, he opted to return to his homeland Tunisia, where he joined the Tunisian giant Espérance Sportive de Tunis in a four years contract. Since then, from being unused and forgotten, he rose to prominence, helping the club to win two consecutive CAF Champions League titles for the first time, as well as making the club a formidable force in Tunisia.

International career
Badri was born and raised in France to parents of Tunisian descent. Badri opted to represent the Tunisia national football team, and got his first call-up for a set of AFCON qualifiers against Togo in March 2016. He scored his first goal on 5 September 2017 against DR Congo in Kinshasa at the 79th minute which brought the team closer to qualifying for the World Cup in Russia.

In June 2018 he was named in Tunisia's 23-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Personal life
Badri predominantly speaks French, having been born and raised in France. He also speaks fluent English, but he's not fluent in Arabic.

title: Tell Hadar

text:
Tell Hadar ('splendid hill') is an archaeological site on the eastern coast of the Sea of Galilee. It contains a settlement and a port. A wall,  across, is either of the Late Bronze Age I or Iron I. In between periods of no human presence (14th, 10th century BC), it had grown, under the control of an Aramean kingdom (possibly Geshur); a city plan, granaries, and possibly other storage facilities, were constructed. In the 9th century BC the wall was discarded. An excavation revealed two buildings sharing one wall

title: Rae Jenkins

text:
Rae Jenkins , born Henry Horatio Jenkins (19 April 1903 – 29 March 1985) was a Welsh violinist and later conductor of light music, notably with the BBC Midland Light Orchestra (1942–1946), the BBC Variety Orchestra
(from 1946), and as principal conductor of the BBC Welsh Orchestra (1950–1965). In 1955 Hubert Clifford, Head of Light Music at the BBC, called Jenkins "the most gifted and experienced conductor of light music in the country".

Jenkins was born at Ammanford in 1903, the son of a coal miner. Given a violin when four years old, he was first violin in his local theatre orchestra by the age of eleven. However at the age of 14 he was sent down the coal mines as a pit boy. His parents eventually found the means to send him to the Royal Academy of Music at the age of 17, where he studied viola under Lionel Tertis and conducting under Sir Henry Wood.

His first broadcast was with the Reginald King Orchestra in 1930. He was appointed conductor of the BBC Midland Light Orchestra in 1942, putting on "at least a thousand"  programmes from the Midlands before leaving to take over the BBC Variety Orchestra from Charles Shadwell in 1946. Jenkins worked on radio programmes, including It's That Man Again (ITMA). He was also an authority on music of gypsy origin.

He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 6 September 1965. He was a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music (FRAM).

A portrait of Jenkins was painted by William Redgrave. A plaque in Ammanford Town Hall commemorates him. It reads:

title: Get Out the Lotion

text:
Get Out the Lotion is the debut album by Philadelphia-based indie rock band Low Cut Connie. The band self-released the album on January 1, 2011, after debuting it on New Year's Eve at Philadelphia's Old Swedes' Church.

Background and recording
The songs on the album were a combination of songs written by Low Cut Connie's two songwriters—Adam Weiner and Dan Finnemore—both of whom were already members of their own bands at the time. The album was recorded over a four-day period at the Gainesville, Florida studio of the band's guitarist Neil Duncan, who also engineered the album.

Critical reception

Several music critics, such as Ken Tucker and Robert Christgau, gave the album favorable reviews upon its release. Tucker, along with a reviewer writing for Blurt Magazine, also compared the album's music to Jerry Lee Lewis. Similarly, Guitar World described the album's music as "swampy, Fifties-inspired American rock and roll."

Accolades
Get Out the Lotion was ranked as the 35th best album on Robert Christgau's "Dean's List" for 2011, and was also ranked #7 on Merrill Garbus' list of her 10 favorite albums of 2011. Ken Tucker also ranked it as his 7th favorite album of 2011.

title: Gordon Phillips (footballer)

text:
Gordon David Phillips (17 January 1946 – 3 September 2018) was an English professional footballer who made over 200 appearances in the Football League for Brentford as a goalkeeper. He later became a coach.

Playing career

Hayes
After a short spell as a youth with Crystal Palace, Phillips began his senior career at Athenian League club Hayes and made his debut at the age of 15 in a victorious Middlesex Charity Cup semi-final match in April 1962. He made two further appearances towards the end of the 1961–62 season, but was robbed of the chance to play in the 1962 Middlesex Charity Cup final because of a broken thumb. He made seven appearances during the 1962–63 season, before departing the club at the end of the campaign. While a youth, Phillips was invited to a trial for the England Youth team, but failed to win a call-up to a squad.

Brentford
Phillips joined Third Division club Brentford during the 1963 off-season. He had a difficult start to life at Griffin Park, conceding 13 goals in his first two youth and reserve matches. An injury to Gerry Cakebread and poor performances by his deputy Fred Ryecraft saw manager Frank Blunstone hand Phillips his first team debut in an FA Cup first round match versus Margate at Griffin Park on 16 November 1963. Phillips conceded two goals in the 2–2 draw and it was his only appearance of the 1963–64 season. Phillips was thereafter confined to the reserve team during the majority of his first three seasons with Brentford.

Phillips finally made his first team breakthrough in the 1966–67 season, after the club had been relegated to the Fourth Division. He was a virtual ever-present during the season and made 42 appearances. He further improved his appearance tally in the 1967–68 season, making 48 appearances. Faced with improved competition from Chic Brodie, Phillips' appearance-count dropped during the 1968–69 and 1969–70 seasons, to the point that he was placed on the transfer list at his own request in February 1968. He was an ever-present during the 1971–72 season, which saw Brentford promoted back to the Third Division with a third-place finish. 1972–73 proved to be Phillips' last with the Bees and he departed the club at the end of the season, after relegation back to the Fourth Division was confirmed. Phillips made 227 appearances during his 10 years at Griffin Park and was awarded a testimonial versus an ex-Brentford XI in October 1973, which earned him £825. He was inducted into the Brentford Hall of Fame in May 2017.

Non-League football
After his release from Brentford, Phillips dropped into non-League football and reunited with a number of former Brentford teammates at Southern League Premier Division club Hillingdon Borough during the 1973 off-season. A bottom-place finish saw Hillingdon relegated in Phillips' first season with the club, but promotion straight back to the Premier Division was achieved in the 1974–75 season. He departed the Leas Stadium in 1978 and received a testimonial. Phillips was offered to join a club in Pretoria, South Africa, but turned the offer down.

Coaching and managerial career
Phillips became goalkeeping coach at Isthmian League Premier Division club Staines Town in 1989. He also had a spell as caretaker manager of the club in 1990, alongside Chris Davey and former Brentford teammate Jackie Graham. Phillips departed the club in 1990 to serve as goalkeeping coach at Brentford under manager Steve Perryman and Perryman's successor Phil Holder. He left in 1992, after the appointment of David Webb as manager.

Personal life
After leaving professional football, Phillips worked for British Airways for over 30 years. He was married to Jacqui and his two sons Kelly and Trent both became footballers for Staines Town, with Trent playing as a goalkeeper. Phillips was a close friend of former Brentford teammate Alan Hawley and both served as the other's best man. He died of cancer on 3 September 2018.

title: Cloud Arch

text:
Cloud Arch is a proposed public artwork by Junya Ishigami for George Street, Sydney.

The sculpture is proposed to be a ribbon of twisted, white stainless steel, representing the shape of a cloud, originally designed to be  and with a span of 53 metres (174 ft). It is intended to "frame" the Sydney Town Hall, and be visible from all approach directions as part of the pedestrianisation of the street. The arch would span the tram tracks of the light rail line running up George Street. The feet of Cloud Arch will be placed on diagonally opposite corners of one of Sydney's busiest intersections, George and Park Street; the sculpture will stand among the Town Hall, the Queen Victoria Building, and The Galeries Victoria.

Originally it was to be installed in 2019 but due to the increased costs ($22m, over the initial estimate of $9m) and disputes about site access during the construction of the light rail, planning for the project was postponed until 2020. As of 2022, the project is on hold.

Announcement
The sculpture was announced on 29 July 2014 as part of a $9 million package of public artworks for Sydney. Cloud Arch was originally expected to cost $3.5 million. The four other artists shortlisted for the George Street sculpture were New Zealander Bill Culbert, Song Dong of China, Australian Mikala Dwyer, and Ugo Rondinone of Switzerland. Announced at the same time were Pavilion by Hany Armanious, a  milk crate to be placed in Belmore Park, and The Distance of Your Heart by Tracey Emin, to consist of 60 bronze bird sculptures perched on poles and above doorways in the northern end of the central business district. Development applications for the sculptures were to be lodged by the end of 2015.

Remodelling
In 2017, the design was remodelled as a result of the original being incompatible with requirements of the new light rail infrastructure running beneath it. Trams will pass beneath the arch as part of the new south east light rail network, which links Circular Quay and Central Station through George Street. The sculpture's new design was necessary to compensate for the subterranean changes. It requires more steel, is wider and heavier than the one originally proposed (now at 53 metres wide using 140 tonnes of steel, rather than 28.5 metres wide using 58 tonnes). The increased width and the rise in cost from the initial expectation of  to $11.3 million, explained as due to changes in the price of steel since 2015, were both criticised, although it was pointed out that the city spends two-thirds that amount every year for temporary works for Sydney New Year's Eve.  On 29 August 2017,  a six to four majority of city councillors voted to approve the sculpture. It was originally expected to be completed by March 2019, to coincide with the original planned opening of the George Street light rail line. However, the project was placed on hold in 2018, with the City of Sydney Council stating that it would be revisited as part of the "Town Hall Square" project, a proposal to demolish a number of nearby buildings to create a large plaza east of Sydney Town Hall.

Critical response
Immediate reactions to the announcement of the sculpture were broadly supportive, with positive responses from professional critics, one of whom wrote: "its dance like thrown ribbon in the sky, will excite Sydney's municipal heart, a lasso to the heavens". Popular reaction was dominated by dismissive similes – comparisons of Cloud Arch to everyday objects, and whimsical nicknames for the work, such as "space noodle".  However, as one writer explained: "Good art makes us see something anew. It's not about money, or tourism, or popularity. It's about insight – and if it comes with delight and wit, all the better." During the December 2018 city council debate to defer the project it was described by opposition politicians as a “ridiculous vanity project”, the same week The Sydney Morning Herald ran an editorial strongly defending the project.

Production
Kalyanam Panniyum Brahmachari was written and directed by P. Neelakantan, and produced by B. R. Panthulu under Padmini Pictures. The film became embroiled in a plagiarism controversy; playwright Vedam Venkataraya Sastri accused the makers of lifting the plot from his Telugu play Vyamoham. A notice was sent via lawyer N. K. Mohanrangam Pillai to Panthulu, who offered compensation to Sastri to avoid creating trouble before the film's release. Sastri wanted his name to be shown in the film's credits, but this request was outrightly refused by Panthulu. Sastri filed a copyright infringement case with Mohanrangam Pillai as his lawyer, but ultimately lost the case even after appealing. A few sequences from the 1952 Bengali film Pasher Bari were reported to have been copied in bits in this film.

Soundtrack
The music was composed by T. G. Lingappa and the lyrics were written by Bharathidasan and K. D. Santhanam. T

The song "Jolly Life Jolly Life" which actor J. P. Chandrababu had sung as playback for Sivaji Ganesan, and "Vennilavum Vaanum Pole" became popular.

Release and reception
Kalyanam Panniyum Brahmachari was released on 13 April 1954, and distributed by Madras Pictures. Thought wrote, "This Padmini Pictures release confirms that Tamil films require a good deal of 'polishing up.' They lack just that quality to be aesthetically perfect." The film was successful at box office and established Ramachandran as one of the famous comedians in Tamil cinema.

title: 2014–15 Taça de Portugal

text:
The 2014–15 Taça de Portugal was the 75th season of the Taça de Portugal, the premier Portuguese football knockout cup competition organised by the Portuguese Football Federation.

The competition was contested by a total of 135 clubs, comprising teams from the top three tiers of Portuguese football and the winners of the District Cups. It began with the first-round matches on 6 September 2014 and concluded on 31 May 2015 with the final at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras, where Sporting CP defeated Braga 3–1 on penalties, after a 2–2 draw at the end of extra-time. This was the first time that the competition's final was decided by a penalty shootout. With this victory, Sporting CP secured their 16th title in the competition and ended a seven-year run without winning official competitions, following their win at the 2008 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.

The title holders were Benfica, who beat Rio Ave 1–0 in the 2014 final to win the competition for a record 25th time. They were not able to defend their title after being defeated 1–2 by eventual finalists Braga in the fifth round.

As the winners, Sporting CP earned the right to play in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League group stage. However, since they qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League play-off round through their league placing, their cup winners place in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League group stage was transferred directly to the highest-placed team in the league qualified for the UEFA Europa League (Braga) – instead of being given to the cup runners-up, as in previous seasons –, with the highest-placed team in the league that did not qualify to European competitions (Belenenses) receiving a place in the third qualifying round.

Format
As in the previous season, the competition format was organised in a knockout system consisting of seven rounds before the final match. A total of 99 teams – 79 competing in the third-tier Campeonato Nacional de Seniores (excluding Marítimo C) and the 20 District Cup winners – enter the tournament in the first round, with 49 of them receiving a bye to the next round. In the second round, these teams are joined by the 18 teams competing in the second-tier Segunda Liga (excluding B teams) and the 25 winners of the first round. In the third round, the 18 top-tier Primeira Liga teams enter the competition for the first time, playing against the 46 winners of the second round. Unlike the previous rounds, which are contested as one-legged fixtures, the semi-finals are played over two legs in a home-and-away basis. The final is played at a neutral venue, traditionally the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras.

Teams
A total of 135 teams competing in the top three tiers of the Portuguese football plus the District FA Cups were considered eligible by FPF to participate in the competition:

Schedule
All draws are held at the FPF headquarters in Lisbon. Match kick-off times are in WET (UTC+0) from the fourth round to the first leg of the semi-finals, and in WEST (UTC+1) during the rest of the competition.

First round
A total of 99 teams from the Campeonato Nacional de Seniores (CN) and the District Football Associations (D) entered in the first round.

title: DevSlp

text:
DevSlp or DevSleep (sometimes referred to as device sleep or SATA DEVSLP) is a feature in some SATA devices which allows them to go into a low power "device sleep" mode when sent the appropriate signal, which uses one or two orders of magnitude less power than a traditional idle (about 5 mW, but some drives can get as low as 2.5 mW). The feature was introduced by SanDisk in a partnership with Intel. Some think that the initiative could make laptops feel like they power on basically instantaneously, while others state that this means that laptops can stay on all the time, and always be available with no adverse effects on battery life.

In traditional low-power modes, SATA link still needs to remain powered on to allow the device to receive a wake-up command.  With DevSlp, rarely used 3.3 V pins of the SATA power plug will be used for the DevSlp signal instead of providing 3.3 V power. This signal can wake up the drive, and it will allow SATA link to be shut down, reducing further the power consumption.

Due to the way they work, DevSleep-enabled drives may not be suitable for most desktop PCs and some notebooks with the 3.3 V voltage present in their SATA power connectors; the presence of 3.3 V results in DevSleep-enabled drives remaining in DevSlp state.  An incompatibility between a desktop mainboard and a SATA SSD may be resolved by disabling the DevSleep feature using a power connector adapter that does not pass the +3.3 V line.

title: Amelia Lehmann

text:
Amelia Lehmann (née Chambers) (3 February 1838 – 1 April 1903) was a British composer and arranger of art songs and popular ballads, many of which she published under the pseudonym "A. L.". She was also considered a gifted singer and was the first singing teacher of her daughter Liza Lehmann. Among her other students of voice was the soprano Evangeline Florence. Several of her works were performed at the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts between 1897 and 1928, and her song "When love is kind" was recorded by Ada Forrest for Pathé Records.

Lehmann was the daughter of Anne (née Kirkwood) and Robert Chambers, the Scottish writer and publisher. In 1861, after a lengthy courtship, she married the painter Rudolf Lehmann. Their daughter Liza wrote in her memoirs:
My mother certainly had extraordinary gifts, but suffered all her life from quite abnormally developed diffidence. As a girl, she was so musical that her father declared she did not require lessons! It was, therefore, not until after her marriage that she began to study music seriously. I have met most of the artists of my day, and I have never met any one so naturally gifted as my beloved mother. She had a lovely voice, and studied singing with several vocal teachers of renown; but she was never confident about her own achievements, and could hardly ever be induced to sing before any one. The few people who heard her sing have never forgotten her quite peculiar charm. She had a wonderful ear, the gift known as "absolute pitch," and could transpose easily at sight. She wrote some beautiful music, notably an operatic setting of a Goethe libretto; but the same diffidence and exaggerated, almost morbid self-criticism, led her to destroy most of her compositions, including with them many of her best.

title: Claude-Nicolas Le Cat

text:
Claude-Nicolas Le Cat (6 September 1700 – 20 August 1768) was a French surgeon and science communicator.

Biography
Le Cat was born in Blérancourt (Picardy). He was the son of Claude Le Cat, a surgeon, and Anne-Marie Méresse, the daughter of a surgeon. He studied anatomy and surgery first with his father then in Paris from 1726.

In 1728, he was appointed surgeon to the Archbishop of Rouen Louis de La Vergne-Montenard de Tressan, friend of Louis XV, then in 1731 deputy head surgeon at the Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Rouen when he was not yet Master surgeon.

He obtained his medical doctorate in Reims University in 1733, then became next year Master surgeon in Rouen.

He commenced lecturing on anatomy and surgery, and in 1736 received the title of royal professor and demonstrator. In 1744 he founded the "Académie royale des sciences, belles lettres et arts" in Rouen, becoming its lifelong secretary for the class of sciences and arts.

In 1742, he married Marie-Marguerite Champossin. Their only daughter, Charlotte-Bonne, married the surgeon Jean-Pierre David (fr), who succeeded Le Cat in all his offices.

Louis XV granted him the rank of écuyer in 1762 in recognition of his services.

He was a devout Catholic throughout his life. He died in Rouen in 1768 aged 67.

Works
In 1731, his interest in replicating human anatomical forms and movements stimulated Vaucanson to begin work on his first automaton.

In 1732, he performed lateral lithotomy approach to removing bladder stones using the technique invented by Frère Jacques Beaulieu and improved by William Cheselden. He developed an instrument for lithotomy, the "Gorgeret cystotome". Le Cat deserve credit for the first removal of bladder polyp through the dilated urethra.

He also effected a great advance in cataract surgery.

His reputation in France and Europe is reflected by his numerous academy prizes, publications, and surgical notoriety.

title: Beebe Hydrothermal Vent Field

text:
The Beebe Hydrothermal Vent Field (also known as the Piccard Vent Field) is located just south of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean, on the north side of the Mid-Cayman Spreading Centre in the Cayman Trough.  Approximately  south of Beebe is the Von Damm Vent Field.

At nearly  below sea level, Beebe is the world's deepest known hydrothermal vent site, and one of the few known in the abyssopelagic. The hydrothermal plume nicknamed "Piccard" was detected in 2010, and the Beebe site was confirmed later that year.  The combined depth and vent fluid temperature make it a popular site for studying aqueous thermodynamics, high-pressure biology, and geochemistry.

Expedition history
The Beebe vent field was initially detected in October 2009 by CTD, Eh, and optical backscatter anomalies in the water column above the Mid-Cayman Rise aboard the R/V Cape Hatteras. The team deployed HROV Nereus to conduct surveys which identified a double hydrothermal plume at  and  deep and subsequently nicknamed it "Piccard". From collected plume samples, the team were able to predict the approximate location of the vent field at a depth of approximately  deep, usurping the Ashadze vent field (Mid-Atlantic Ridge, ) as the deepest known hydrothermal field.

In 2010, the RRS James Cook'''s 44th voyage returned to the Mid-Cayman Rise to survey the areas predicted to host hydrothermal sites in 2009. The team deployed the AUV Autosub6000 to map anomalies and RUV HyBIS to collect video, visually confirming the site named "Beebe" after William Beebe at a depth of .

The vent field was further explored by the NOAAS Okeanos Explorer in 2011, R/V Falkor cruise FK008 and R/V Yokosuka cruise YK13-05 in 2013, and cruises AT18-16 and AT42-22 of the R/V Atlantis in 2012 and 2020 respectively.

 Geography

The Beebe vent field is in the Caribbean Sea, at the northern end of the Mid-Cayman Rise on the segments closest to the Septentrional-Oriente fault zone.

The Beebe vent field consists of 7 sulfide mounds on the western side of the spreading center, the majority of which are inactive. Central to the field are the main endmember vents, known as Beebe 1–5, which branch from the same mound. Surrounding these endmember vents are Hot Chimlet to the north, Beebe Sea to the East, and Beebe Woods to the South. The series of mounds continue to the northeast of the field, where high-temperature hydrothermal activity used to take place, as evidenced by extinct chimneys.

The vent field is in the territorial waters of the Cayman Islands, which is a self-governing British Overseas Territory.

 Geology
The Beebe vent field is located in the very near vicinity of the spreading center, which has been described as an ultraslow ridge at a rate of  to  per year. The area is primarily basalt, with metal-sulfide mounds and talus sourced from hydrothermal activity.

Unlike the Von Damm Vent Field, there is little sediment cover at Beebe.

 Chimneys
Beebe vents 1–5 form a branching complex consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite, and other oxidized metal-sulfides. These chimneys emit the hottest fluids of anywhere within the field, up to . Beebe Woods to the south has a similar geological composition, though temperatures are cooled slightly (). These temperatures are hot enough that iron and other metals have not yet precipitated, giving the chimneys a distinctive black-smoker appearance. These metal-sulfide chimneys are conductive of precious and semi-precious mineral precipitation, such as gold, silver, and copper.

Hot Chimlet to the north features venting at a significantly lower temperature (), such that the fluids are clear and devoid of metals. Residing on the slope of the mound, the Hot Chimlet site has a light dusting of sulfide materials likely sourced from the center of the field. Hot Chimlet also does not have the impressive chimney structures as at the center of the field, and requires the use of dive markers to identify quickly. Shrimp Gulley, similarly, is a location within the Beebe Sea which is distinguished by abundant biology. The Gulley reaches temperatures around , with markers also required to find the exact locations of diffuse flow.

 Chemistry
As with many basalt-hosted systems, Beebe has endmember fluids that are highly acidic in association with basalt dissolution reactions. Such reactions with basalt can be favorable in forming hydrothermal ore deposits. Concentrations of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are elevated relative to deep sea water, attributed to origin in the mantle.

The vent field hosts two main areas of black smoker venting, with a fluid at temperatures of over 400 °C and a low salinity of about 2.3 wt% NaCl. Under these conditions, the venting fluids surpass the supercritical threshold of seawater at 407 °C and 298 bar, and is one of few vent sites shown to host sustained supercritical venting.  These hot, acidic conditions make precipitation of metal-sulfide chimneys possible, also giving the hottest vents their characteristic black-smoker appearance from high concentrations of dissolved metals.

Measurements of iron and manganese at Beebe suggest subsurface temperatures of 452 °C or higher.

 Organic compounds
High temperatures acting on seawater can cause diagenesis or pyrolysis of organic compounds, such that they break up into smaller compounds or alter bond configurations. Small quantities of alkanes have been detected, likely derived from hydrothermally-altered compounds of deep seawater. At cooler venting areas, formate and other organic acids have been detected in low concentrations, as high concentrations of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas may thermodynamically favor abiotic organic acid synthesis.

With abundant iron in the venting plume, there have been many models examining the potential of ligands binding to iron when mixing begins with seawater. These ligands prevent the precipitation of iron in mineral phases, potentially making them bioavailable.

 Biology
Beebe has an abundance of shrimp present at venting orifices, particularly those of Rimicaris hybisae, belonging to the family of Alvinocarididae, and are almost completely blind. These shrimp have eyes as juveniles but lose them as they age, developing a light-sensing organ that they can use to detect the infrared glow of hot, venting locations. The shrimp at the Beebe vent field are unique from those found at the Von Damm field in that they are a slightly more brown color due to the high concentrations of iron pumped out by the vents. Observations of shrimp behavior suggests that, when in dense congregations, shrimp ascertain carbohydrates from chemosynthetic bacteria. Though not directly observed, shrimp may predate on other organisms or exhibit cannibalism when more sparsely distributed.

There is also an abundance of deep sea anemones, Provannid gastropods, and squat lobsters. As with other vent fields, it is possible for deepwater sharks or roaming fishes such as grenadiers to appear around the field.
 Microbiology
From a microbial standpoint, there are visible mats of microbial activity at both the Beebe and Von Damm vent systems. Exposed rocks have shown filamentous bacteria and orange sediments around the field, where microorganisms such as Beggiatoa are suggested to utilize hydrogen sulfide in venting fluids to metabolize chemosynthetically. Some of these microorganisms are present on or within vent crustaceans, being routinely grazed or taking up roles as symbiotic organisms.

At lower-temperature venting locations, Sulfurovum have been identified as a dominant bacteria whereas Methanothermacoccus is an abundant archaea. Geochemical calculations suggest that multiple metabolisms other than hydrogen consumption are favorable in these conditions.

 Naming
The hydrothermal system was suggested to exist on an American-led oceanographic cruise in 2009 on the R/V Cape Hatteras, with 3 hydrothermal plumes detected in the water column: Piccard, Walsh, and Europa. Beebe was visually confirmed in early 2010 on a British-led expedition with the RRS James Cook, though the Piccard plume could not be found, so the vent field was named Beebe. Americans returned to the vent field in 2011 on the Okeanos Explorer prior to scientific publications from the previous mission, and named the vent field Piccard, therefore creating a second name for the vent field. The Interridge Database lists the vent field as Beebe, though many American journals publish results under the name of Piccard.

The original name for the detected plume, Piccard, comes from Jacques Piccard, a Swiss oceanographer that dove with Don Walsh to the Challenger Deep. The subsequent naming of the field to Beebe is after the American naturalist William Beebe who frequently dove in the Bathysphere prior to powered submersibles.

 Human impacts
The Beebe vent field has been explored many times by scientists since 2010, to collect samples and video. Common ecosystem disruptions during hydrothermal expeditions, such as rock collections and artificial illumination, may be particularly detrimental at Beebe where organism photoreceptors may be damaged.

In 2013, cruise YK-13-05 by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) was undertaken to sample and live stream dives of the DSV Shinkai 6500. However, the fiber optical cable was broken during spooling multiple times and was not fully recovered. Uncertainty in cable presence is a potential hazard for human-operated submersibles such as the DSV Alvin'', which cannot dive at Beebe due to safety concerns.

Beebe's metal sulfides are rich in gold and other useful industrial elements, which could make deep-sea mining a concern.

title: Four Assassins

text:
Four Assassins, also known as Far Away Eyes, is a 2011 action thriller starring Will Yun Lee, Miguel Ferrer, Hiro Hayama, Mercedes Renard, and Oliver Williams. The film premiered at 2011 WorldFest Houston. Inception Media released the DVD and online versions of the film on February 18, 2013.

Plot
Marcus Nang (Will Yun Lee), an ace hitman in the underworld was summoned to  meet with three professional colleagues in a luxury hotel suite after completing a recent contract. The first to arrive are Cordelia Leigh (Mercedes Renard) and Chase (Oliver Williams).  The sexy Cordelia is Marcus's ex-girlfriend and an equally deadly killer.  Chase, a brutal French assassin, is looking to make inroads into the business. The last to arrive is Eli (Miguel Ferrer), an aging gentleman who has been in the trade longer than he cares to remember.  Mentor to both Marcus and Cordelia, it's been years since Eli last saw the two.  The situation takes on the air of a family reunion.  Friendships are renewed.  Past exploits are remembered. Except for Chase, an outsider who becomes fed up with the nostalgia and demands to get to the heart of the matter. Tension mounts, as Eli demands to know what went wrong with the kill.  Marcus insists that it all went perfectly and that there's nothing to worry about.  Eli pressures him further; revealing that one of the two bodies is missing.  Marcus remains adamant that he completed the job. But clearly, something is wrong. It becomes apparent that Cordelia has never forgiven Marcus for a dark deed in the past.  Eli wants answers while Chase is driven to find the missing "body" and complete the hit.   Tempers flare.   Accusations fly.  And cat-and-mouse game escalates. Each assassin harbors their own agenda and each is willing to sacrifice the others to fulfill it.  Marcus's life is in grave danger as the situation further deteriorates.  And blood begins to flow. Various lies are peeled away.  Marcus is indeed hiding something.  What might he be hiding?  How does it relate to the missing body?  And why?  The dark mystery unravels, leading to an explosive and deadly showdown where no one can be trusted.

Production
The film was shot entirely on location in (Hong Kong) at the historic Perowne Barracks a former British army barrack located in Tuen Mun.

title: Desire Street (film)

text:
Desire Street (also known as La Calle Del Deseo or Calle Deseo) is a 2011 comedy-drama film written and directed by Roberto F. Canuto and Xu Xiaoxi. The film features an ensemble cast including Alejandra Walker, Javier Lopez, Ellen Clifford, Kjord Davis, Jesus Guevara and Alexandra Smothers, with Charles Wells, Tyler Vincent, Roman Marshanski, Kay Hand, Gavin Fonseca and Sassoun Hagopian in supporting roles. Revolving around an eccentric and dysfunctional Mexican immigrant family living in Los Angeles, the film is divided into three parts, each one with a story reflecting a family member (mother Carmen, daughter Bess and son Andrea) and the relationship that they establish with a new neighbor, a prostitute named Lucy Bell.

Plot
The story follows a Mexican immigrant family's life in the United States following a tragic accident. The family's matriarch, Carmen, is a widowed single mother of two, who wants to "fix" her teenage son's "confusion" about his sexuality, and seeks solace through her religious beliefs. Her daughter Bess is a curious but sheltered young girl who hides from the world by the clothes she wears and by her behavior, so the world sees her as odd and unusual. Andrea is her teenage son, whose emerging sexuality is of concern to his mother and her religious beliefs, and then he falls for a streetwise man whom he sees as his way to escape to freedom. Each of the family members is coping with a family altering accident in their own way. As they endure their loneliness and the turmoil of maturing, each encounters unique experiences and a lasting special relationship with their ostentatious and passionate new neighbor, Lucy Bell, a companion for hire.

Production
The district of Koreatown, Los Angeles, serves as a backdrop for the story.

The film was initially conceived as the directors' thesis film as part of their MFA degree at the New York Film Academy (NYFA) at Universal Studios in Hollywood. After the directors' graduation, the film was re-edited and the post-production was completed.

Desire Street was filmed on Super 16mm film and principal photography lasted three and half weeks, taking place in August 2009, with temperatures reaching  and higher.

The directors' intentions behind Desire Street were to explore the elements of sex and desire as the main themes of the film. They tried to create characters that, under different circumstances, either repress these instincts (due to influences from the society, personal tragedies, etc.) or use it freely as the hooker does in the film.

Canuto and Xu take as a reference the Mexican melodramas of the 1960s. They exaggerate the representation of the characters to accentuate the irony that is a basic element in the story, creating many situations of comedy. At the end of the story the family became the main reference for the individual survival.

Desire Street has "a unique perspective, exploring social aspects and family issues with a melodramatic, but at times humoristic tone. This is conveyed with very bold and colorful characters and a dynamic narration. The message that the directors wish to bring to the film and its audience is a respect for others irrespective of their sexuality, race, or profession. Also the film highlights the importance of family support for any teenagers who are struggling with their sexuality and differences to the stereotypes that the society creates". The film touches themes like immigration, prostitution, homosexuality, lesbianism or bullying at a young age, themes that can be seen as controversial by the approach taken in the film.

Reception
The film was well received in the film festivals where it was screened, including some awards. At the premiere in Mix Mexico International Film Festival 2011, Desire Street received a "Special Mention for Best Feature Film". The jury mention at the ceremony that the award was deserved due to "a very well structured script, strong story and great characters". In 2014 the film received two nominations and the award for Best Feature Film at the Asturian Film Festival (Festival De Cine Asturianu) 2014  in a ceremony celebrated at the Ateneo of Madrid. The jury highlight that Desire Street "develop, with technical mastery and a good treatment of the script, the generation gap and the family and sexual conflicts in a multiethnic society".

Desire Street critics reviews were also positive, highlighting the structure of the script and some film techniques, together with the actors performances:

∗ "...these characters could be from an Almodovar movie as they seem to need to behave in extraordinary ways in order to draw some sexual, psychological advantage...The use of subjective camera movement, composition and mirrored reflections are effective in conveying a real sense of false perceptions since the seeing is not real. Coupled with this is the technique of revisiting of previously seen scenes, but from a different perspective per time. This subversive type of shooting is not new to cinematography, but it is used to great effect in this application...The collaborations of Roberto Canuto and Xu Xiaoxi make them the future wave as these two engaging directors bring together fresh insight with redesigned camera work."
 from Dickie King at MTG, 2011 (South Africa).

The premiere of Desire Street in Spain took place at the 9th Asturian Film Festival in June 2014, at a ceremony in Madrid at the historical Ateneo building. The film was awarded Best Film and one of the lead actresses, Alejandra Walker, received a nomination for her performing work.

The Chinese premier took place in August 2014 at the Contemporary Art Museum A4 in Chengdu (Sichuan), one of the most prestigious museums in China. It was part the exhibition ID/EGO, dedicated to the filmmakers, that include also a showcase of pictures and objects used during their shootings, and the presentation in China of their latest short film Ni Jing: Thou Shalt Not Steal (2013). Due to the very positive reactions and the good turnout in all the projections, the exhibition was extended for further weeks.

, the producers are in talks to sell distribution rights worldwide.

title: The Boat Race 1861

text:
The 18th Boat Race took place on the River Thames on 16 March 1861.   Held annually, The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.  The 1861 event, which featured the first ever non-British competitor, suffered numerous interruptions from river traffic.  Oxford won by 16 lengths.

Background

The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  The race was first held in 1829, and since 1845 has taken place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having defeated Oxford by one length in the previous year's race and led overall with ten wins to Oxford's seven.

The challenge to race was sent from Oxford in the October term which was accepted by Cambridge.  Both boats were built specifically for the race, Cambridge's by Searle and Oxford's by Salter.  Oxford were "occasionally looked after" by H. Baxter, who rowed in the 1860 race, and C. G. Lane who represented the Dark Blues in the 1858 and 1859 races.  The race was umpired by Joseph William Chitty who had rowed for Oxford twice in 1849 (in the March and December races) and the 1852 race.

Crews
The Cambridge crew weighed an average of 11 st 4.875 lb (71.9 kg),  per rower more than their Dark Blue opposition.  George Morrison returned to the Oxford crew, having rowed in the previous year's race.  Cambridge saw Chaytor, Blake, Coventry and Hall return.  The race featured the first non-British rower in the history of the event: William Robertson of Wadham College, Oxford was educated at Geelong Grammar School in Australia before representing the Dark Blues at number four.

Race

As a result of strong winds and a large volume of land water running into the river, the race was rescheduled for 11 a.m.  Cambridge won the toss and elected to start from the Middlesex station, handing the Surrey station to Oxford.  The starter, Edward Searle, gave the command to start, with neither boat taking an early advantage.  By the Star and Garter pub, Cambridge had edged ahead and spurted to take a half-length lead and by the Duke's Head pub, the Light Blues had moved further in front.  A steering error from Gaskell, the Cambridge cox, saw their lead eroded such that Oxford led by Craven Cottage.  At the football ground, rough water created by one of the nearby steamboats (who, according to MacMichael, had "shamefully put her paddle-wheels into motion") caused a swell to slow the Oxford boat.

The Dark Blue crew's rhythm combined with more poor steering from Cambridge allowed Oxford to pull away, three lengths ahead by the Crab Tree and six by Hammersmith Bridge.  Further interruption to Cambridge's passage came from a sailing barge which they forced to steer around, and by Chiswick, they were ten lengths behind.  Oxford suffered briefly at the hands of a barge blocking their route but by Barnes Bridge were at least twelve lengths ahead.  They passed the flag boat (indicating the finish of the race) at the Ship Tavern in a time of 23 minutes 30 seconds, and a lead of 16 lengths.  It was the largest winning margin since the 1841 race and would be the first in a series of nine consecutive victories for Oxford.

title: 21st Century Maritime Silk Road

text:
The 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (), commonly just Maritime Silk Road (MSR), is the sea route part of the Belt and Road Initiative which is a Chinese strategic initiative to increase investment and foster collaboration across the historic Silk Road.

The maritime silk road essentially runs from the Chinese coast to the south via Hanoi to Jakarta, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur through the Strait of Malacca then via Colombo in  Sri Lanka towards the southern tip of India via Malé, to the East African Mombasa, from there to Djibouti, then through the Red Sea via the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean, there via Haifa, Istanbul and Athens to the Upper Adriatic region to the northern Italian hub of Trieste with its international free port and its rail connections to Central Europe and the North Sea.

The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor is an extension to the proposed Silk Road. The Maritime Silk Road coincides with the theory of China's String of Pearls strategy.

History
The Maritime Silk Road initiative was first proposed by Chinese leader Xi Jinping during a speech to the Indonesian Parliament in October 2013.

In November 2014, Chinese leader Xi Jinping announced plans to create a USD $40B development fund, which would help finance China's plans to develop the New Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road. China has accelerated its drive to draw Africa into the MSR by speedy construction of a modern standard-gauge rail link between Nairobi and Mombasa.

In March 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission of China publicly released a document titled Vision and Actions on Jointly Building Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, which discusses the principles and framework which form the foundation of the initiative.

Routes and key ports
Although the routes encompassed in the MSR will be copious if the initiative comes to fruition, to date there has not been ample official information released concerning specific ports.

Between 2015 and 2022, China has leased ownership over the following ports:

 Gwadar, Pakistan: 40 years
 Kyaukpyu, Myanmar: 50 years
 Kuantan, Malaysia: 60 years
 Obock, Djibouti: 10 years
 Malacca Gateway: 99 Years
 Hambantota, Sri Lanka: 99 years
 Muara, Brunei: 60 years
 Feydhoo Finolhu, Maldives: 50 years
 Port Darwin, Australia: 99 years
 Newcastle Port, Australia: 98 years

In the 2018 Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Centre Development Index Report, the China Economic Information Service cites the following as major routes for the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road:

Europe route

The MSR route to Europe will begin in China, pass through the Malacca Strait, follow Red Sea through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea, and visit ports in Greece, Italy, France, and Spain before returning to China. The Maritime Silk Road has also an important role in the connection between East Africa and the Mediterranean region through the Suez Canal. Of particular interest to China is the port of Piraeus in Athens, Greece, which Chinese Premier Li Keqiang stated "...can become China's gateway to Europe. It is the pearl of the Mediterranean. " China is investing heavily in Athens in the port and infrastructure.

The Chinese Silk Road Initiative then led Europe to consider adapting the infrastructure to changing conditions. In recent years there have been major investments from Italy, the EU, Germany and Hungary to develop Trieste with its rail connections to Central and Eastern Europe as a central European hub of the Maritime Silk Road. This also applies to the partial relocation of the flow of goods from the northern ports to the Mediterranean.

There are extensive intra-European infrastructure projects in place to adapt trade flows to current needs. This applies, for example, to the expansion of the Belgrade-Budapest railway line, the Brenner Base Tunnel and the connections on the Adriatic-Baltic and Adriatic-North Sea axes. With regard to costs and environmental protection, in contrast to longer East Asian traffic via northwest Europe, the sea route through the Suez Canal to the Adriatic bridgehead of Trieste with its free trade zone shortens the transport of goods to Central and Eastern Europe by at least four days.

Experimental attempts are also being made to organize the movement of goods from China to Europe via the Northeast Passage through the polar sea. There is already resistance from environmental protection organizations who fear significant interference in the sensitive ecosystems in the north.

One of the most important ports in the Mediterranean is Valencia, Spain. The port, in which many Chinese companies have settled, is to be provided with a free trade zone.

Challenges

There exist a number of unresolved territorial disputes in the South China Sea between China and ASEAN countries such as Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Potential routes proposed for the MSR could contribute to increasing tensions over certain areas. However, some academics propose that the MSR initiative will provide a means for China to resolve these sovereignty-related conflicts by providing an opportunity for mutual gain.

It has been suggested that the future of the MSR will be largely dictated by the economic conditions of the participating countries. The possibility exists that China may have to make financial contributions to other MSR countries who are experiencing poor economic conditions. China will need to ensure that any loans allocated to these countries are spent appropriately.

Coordination on the national and subnational levels may be challenging for China. It has been stated that China's subnational actorssuch as multinational corporations, provinces, cities, and townshave a tendency to strongly prioritize their own interests above those of the nation and participate in government initiatives primarily to satisfy their own objectives. This could lead to inappropriate spending on projects outside the scope of China's national interests.

Gaining political approval from countries with different political systems could prove problematic for China. Countries may be wary about joining the MSR initiative due to geopolitical and security factors.

Concerns have been put forth regarding whether China will be able to receive India's cooperation and participating in bringing the initiative to fruition. India represents a strong economic force and may likely prefer to develop the Indian Ocean region's infrastructure itself rather than allow China to have any control over the region. While Chinese investment in India's underdeveloped maritime infrastructure could benefit India's economy greatly, India remains wary to accept such investment as the possibility exists that China is primarily attempting to expand its own territorial and economic interests. India has also expressed circumspection in participating in a similar initiative, the BangladeshChinaIndiaMyanmar economic corridor.

title: Feudal barony of Launceston

text:
Launceston was one of three Feudal baronies in Cornwall which existed in the mediaeval era. Its caput was at Launceston Castle.

Descent
Robert, Count of Mortain (d.1090). The barony was granted by William the Conqueror to his half-brother Robert, Count of Mortain (d.1090).
William, Count of Mortain (son), who sided with Robert Curthose,  Duke of Normandy against the latter's younger brother King Henry I of England, and was defeated at the Battle of Tinchebray in 1106 when his honours were forfeited to the crown.
Alan, 1st Earl of Richmond (d.1146), 4th feudal baron of Richmond, Yorkshire, to whom the barony was next granted in 1140 by King Stephen. He lost the barony in 1141 during the war between Stephen and the Empress Matilda.
Reginald de Dunstanville (d.1175), to whom the barony was granted in 1141 by the Empress Matilda. She also created him Earl of Cornwall. He died in 1175 without legitimate issue when the barony escheated to the crown.

Earls of Cornwall
Following the death of Reginald de Dunstanville the feudal barony of Launceston effectively became merged with the lands of the Earldom of Cornwall, which was granted in 1189 by King Richard I (1189-1199)  to his younger brother Prince John, later King John (1199-1216).
