Printz Board

Priese Prince Lamont Board (born September 11, 1972) better known as Printz Board, is a Grammy Award-winning American musician, recording artist, producer, and songwriter who has worked with The Black Eyed Peas, DJ Mustard, CeeLo Green, Mark Ronson, Fergie, John Legend, and many more.

Early life
From the age of 10, Printz picked up the trumpet, “because I knew I’ll be able to sling that on my back and then make it do what it do,” he recalls. He is from Columbus, Ohio and at the age of 12 moved to Los Angeles. As a trumpeter, he explored the parameters of jazz and music that instigated his journey from his hometown, where music legends like Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, The Eagles and P-Funk stoked his imagination with genre-defying artistry. Relocating to San Diego State College, he had to decide between a career in music or soccer and added classical greats to his eclectic mix of musical influences.

Career
After migrating to Los Angeles he met a band that needed a keyboard player. Over time this band evolved into the group Black Eyed Peas. Printz has been an essential part of this hit-making machine. He was the co-writer of songs like "Where is the Love", "Don’t Phunk with My Heart" and "Meet Me Halfway". Besides his co-writing for the Black Eyed Peas, he is the musical director commanding the band's live stadium shows. In 2001, Board founded the production company Beets & Produce, Inc., publishing through Atlas Music Publishing. In 2007 Board and his fellow music group Bucky Jonson released the album The Band Behind The Front on the  BBE label.

The inspiration to start his solo career came with the Black Eyed Peas taking a break in 2011. As the artists each took their own separate paths, Printz took the one that he had been thinking of taking for a while.In the fall of 2013, Printz stepped forward to launch his solo project, kicking things off with packed LA and NYC secret shows at the Roxy and S.O.B.’s respectively. He brought on a surprise guest – Natasha Bedingfield - for a special duet of "Mountains". In the span of several months, Printz released an EP Pre-Games, singles "#1" (debut at No.11 in the UK Urban Charts) and Hey You (which was prominently placed in a national Pizza Hut commercial) performed at SXSW, opened for CeeLo Green and Lionel Richie, and received features/premieres on MTV Buzzworthy, USA Today, MetroLyrics, and Singersroom. In the same year Printz Board was one of the top finalists in Macy’s iHeart Radio Rising Star contest.

Personal life
Board has worked with the Lennon Bus since the late 1990s. He has three children.

"The song [ "Mountains" ] was inspired by the close bond he shares with his mother. "My mom was quite young when she had me so we grew up sort of like brother and sister, under the same roof with my grandparents," he says. "When she finally got out of school, it was a struggle, but she was always of the mind-set like, 'You just keep trucking, you keep moving forward,' and she always instilled that in me."

Discography
As a songwriter, producer artist, and musician, he has collaborated with Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Busta Rhymes, Chris Brown, Dr. Dre, Fergie, Selena Gomez, Laura Pausini and Katy Perry. Printz Board wrote and/or produced six songs on the deluxe edition of Black Eyed Peas Grammy nominated album "The E.N.D." (2009) including, "Missing You" and "Out Of My Head" (co-producer and writer along with frontman will.i.am). He is writer of "Rockin' to the Beat," "One Tribe," "Where Ya Wanna Go" and "Don't Phunk Around." In addition to Album of the Year, "The E.N.D." was also nominated for The Best Pop Vocal Album at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards.

Board has worked on the albums The Dutchess (2006) by Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, 100 Miles from Memphis (2010) by Sheryl Crow, Bashtown (2011) by Baby Bash, and Candy Dulfer’s album titled Crazy (2011), out of the twelve tracks on this album Board produced a total of 7. Board spent six months in New Zealand to work for Kim Dotcom and his Album Good Times which was published 2013 and Keyshia Cole's single "She" from the album Point of No Return (2014) produced by DJ Mustard. Printz produced the album Six60 (Deluxe) from New Zealand’s Six60 (2015), he produced and songwrote for the albums earlier released single "Special" that in 2014 went #1 in New Zealand in its first week.

In 2013, Board launched his solo career releasing the debut single "#1" and "Hey You" through Atlas Music Publishing. In 2014, Board released the single "Mountains", the latest track off his Pre-Games EP.

In 2017, Printz was featured on Greg Gould's EP 'Don't Let Go' on a live studio version of Estelle's American Boy. The EP debuted at #16 on the Australian iTunes Charts.

East Lake Triangle Pool

East Lake Triangle Pool (), commonly known as East Lake, is a set of two small lakes in the East Lake area of Haikou, Hainan, China. It is located at the south-west corner of the Bo'ai Road area and at the north side of People's Park.

Description
The two lakes are divided by a tree-lined walkway with a bridge at the north end. The north end of the bridge, where it meets the northern boundary, East Lake Road, is consider to be the north gate of People's Park. The eastern boundary of the lakes is Bo'ai South Road, the main northbound entry into the Bo'ai Road area.

The eastern lake, the bigger of the two, has a peninsula connecting to the land on the north side. It occupies a large part of the eastern lake. The southern end of this peninsula connects to the south shore with a footbridge. For at least ten years prior to 2018, this peninsula was essentially a city rubbish depot and mostly unused building.

The western lake narrows at its western end, goes under a small footbridge, and then connects to one of Haikou's many drainage canals, eventually discharging into a lagoon at the east side of Evergreen Park, then into Haikou Bay.

Renovation

Between November 15, 2017 and March 31, 2018, the entire East Lake area was renovated. This included the lakes and green areas surrounding them, and renovating the buildings along the roads surrounding the lake.

The peninsula's rubbish depot was removed and the building put back into service. The peninsula and all the pathways around the lakes were completely renovated, with night lighting installed along with new stone paths and landscaping. The lakes themselves were cleaned up with water treatment equipment installed and water features placed at the banks. A footbridge now connects the peninsula to the south bank. East Lake is now a visitor attraction.

Beth Din of America

The Beth Din of America is a Beth Din (Court of Jewish Law) which serves Jews throughout the United States of America as a forum for arbitrating disputes through the din torah process, obtaining Jewish divorces, and confirming Jewish personal status issues.  It was founded in 1960 and reconstituted in 1994. The focus of Beth Din of America is on areas of family law, Jewish divorce and personal status, as well as adjudication of financial disputes. The Beth Din is affiliated with the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) and is sponsored by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.  The current director of the Beth Din is Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann, who succeeded Rabbi Yona Reiss in 2008.

Leadership

The Beth Din of America is overseen by a lay board of directors, although that body does not decide cases or make policy in the realm of Jewish law issues.  The actual work of the Beth Din of America is overseen by its rabbinic leadership, consisting of:

 Rabbi Gedalia Schwartz, Av Beis Din
 Rabbi Mordechai Willig, Sgan Av Beth Din
 Rabbi Yona Reiss, Chaver Beth Din
Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann, Menahel (Director)
Rabbi Michoel Zylberman, Gittin Coordinator

The day to day operations and case management of the Beth Din of America are managed by the Beth Din's operations staff, which consists of Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann (Director), Rabbi Michoel Zylberman (Gittin Coordinator) and Jordana Mondrow (Administrative Attorney).  In addition, Rabbi Itamar Rosensweig is the editor of Jewishprudence, a blog which publishes periodic updates on policies of the organization and discussions of Jewish law and beth din jurisprudence.

Publications
In 2012, the Beth Din of America launched The Journal of the Beth Din of America, a periodical that contains articles on Jewish jurisprudence and beth din practice, with a particular emphasis on the policies and practices of the Beth Din of America. Each issue of the Journal includes anonymized versions of actual din torah (arbitration) decisions issued by the Beth Din of America.  Two issues of The Journal of the Beth Din of America were published.  In 2019, the Beth Din of America launched Jewishprudence: Thoughts on Jewish Law and Beth Din Jurisprudence, a first-in-the-nation blog dedicated to explaining Rabbinical Court process and decisions. The goals of Jewishprudence are to make the din torah process more transparent and accessible, and to create a sophisticated forum for discussions of Jewish law as it applies to the contemporary commercial marketplace. Rabbi Itamar Rosensweig was named the editor of Jewishprudence in 2019.

Early life
Mariana Alley Griswold was born in New York City on February 21, 1851.  She was the daughter of George Griswold and Lydia (née Alley) Griswold (1826–1908).  Her younger brothers were Frank Gray Griswold (1855–1937), the stepfather of Cass Canfield, and George Griswold (1857–1917), the Vice President and General Manager of the Tuxedo Park Association.

In 1868, she moved with her family to Dresden, Germany, where she remained for five years.

Career
She began writing in 1876.  The first woman architectural critic, she grew in influence in the 1880s. However, her publications encompassed also art and landscape architecture criticism, fiction, and children's literature. She wrote articles in American Art Review, Century Magazine, and Garden and Forest (in which she wrote many unattributed articles) After refuting an offer to edit the American Art Review in 1881, she began writing for Century Magazine.  She advocated that the public should view architectural works not as just the work of the individual firm owners, but the entire firm (particularly in reference to McKim, Mead, and White), and preferred architectural training at colleges for create intellectual and genteel architects, rather than the on-the-job training which was common at the time.

Around 1890, Van Rensselaer garnered an honorary membership to the American Institute of Architects, and in 1920 to the American Society of Landscape Architects   In 1910, she received the degree of D. Litt. from Columbia University, the accomplishment being an extraordinary one for a woman at that time. She was awarded the 1923 American Academy of Arts and Letters Gold Medal. In 1915, in honor of deceased son, she donated a collection of reproductions of frescoes, vases, and other objects which illustrate the prehistoric culture of Greece to Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University.

Van Rensselaer also served a number of charitable organisations, including University Settlement Women's Auxiliary (president from 1896-1898), Jacob A. Riis Neighborhood Settlement, and the New York Infirmary for Women and Children. She was president of the Public Education Association of New York from 1899-1906. Although she did vote in 1893 while living in Colorado, she later was involved with New York State Association Opposed to the Extension of Suffrage for Women.

Personal life
In 1873, she married Schuyler Van Rensselaer (1845–1884) of the prominent Van Rensselaer family.  Together, they lived in New Brunswick, New Jersey. They had one child, born in February 1875, before her husband, a mining engineer, died in 1884.

 George Griswold Van Rensselaer (1875–1894), who died before his twentieth birthday and was a member of Harvard University's class of 1896.

Van Rensselaer died away while in New York City on January 20, 1934.  She was buried next to her husband and only child at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.

Works
Her writings include:
 American Etchers (New York, 1886)
 Henry Hobson Richardson and his Works (1888)

 English Cathedrals (1892; fourth edition, 1892)
 Art out of Doors (1893)

Albert Arlen

Albert Arlen AM (10 January 190524 March 1993) was a Turkish Australian pianist, composer, actor and playwright.  He is best known for his musical The Sentimental Bloke (to the poetry of C. J. Dennis), the "Alamein Concerto", and his setting of Banjo Paterson's Clancy of the Overflow.

Biography
Albert Aarons was born in Sydney in 1905 to Turkish immigrants. He was educated at Cleveland Street Public School and Crown Street High School. He studied at the New South Wales State Conservatorium (graduated in 1924) and the École Normale de Musique de Paris. He then worked in London where he played various roles in West End repertory productions, as well as writing his own musical compositions and plays such as The Son of the Grand Eunuch (January 1937). He was known professionally as Albert Arlen and legally changed his name in 1948.

In 1939, he joined the Royal Air Force as a pilot's assistant, serving in the Middle and Far East. These experiences inspired a concerto for piano and orchestra, which he called the "Alamein Concerto". This was first performed in Cairo in 1944, with pianist Phil Finch and conductor Hugo Rignold. It was recorded by Monia Liter with the Mantovani Orchestra. Pathé used the music in their documentary on the anniversary of the Battle of El Alamein. After the war Arlen was sent to Singapore, and wrote musical revues which were seen in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaya and Ceylon.

Albert Arlen married actress, singer and playwright Nancy Brown in 1949.  Nancy was born in Brisbane in 1909 and moved to England at the age of 14, after her parents' divorce. She appeared in such musicals as Old Chelsea with Richard Tauber.

The Sentimental Bloke
Albert and Nancy returned to Australia, living in Canberra. Together, they started writing The Sentimental Bloke around 1950, to C. J. Dennis's The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke. Initially they sought the involvement of George Johnston, who showed little interest. Later, the actor Lloyd Thomson was brought on board as writer. Albert and Nancy went to England in 1955 to promote the show. This was unsuccessful so they returned to Australia, borrowed some money, put together an amateur cast, and staged the show themselves in March 1961 in the Albert Hall in Canberra. (A ballet with the same name, choreographed by Lauren Martyn with music by John Tallis had premiered in Melbourne in 1952. This was withdrawn shortly after its premiere since Albert Arlen owned the rights to stage representations of Dennis's works.) The show had a one-week run in Canberra, which was so popular that extra seating in the aisles had to be arranged. J. C. Williamson's directors Sir Frank Tait and John McCallum attended the final performance and decided to sponsor it for a further six-week season at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne (from 4 November 1961), directed by John Young. This was later extended to five months. The roles of The Bloke, Doreen and Rose of Spadger's Lane were played by Edwin Ride, Patsy Hemingway and Gloria Dawn respectively. It eventually ran for over a year in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and New Zealand. The show was turned into another ballet, with Arlen's music freely arranged by John Lanchbery and choreography by Robert Ray, which the Australian Ballet staged in 1985 in Australia, and presented on their tour of the Soviet Union.

The Girl from the Snowy (Riverside Theatre, Canberra, 17 March 1960) and Marriages Are Made in Heaven, two other musicals, failed to have the success of The Sentimental Bloke.  Arlen also wrote some songs and piano pieces.

The songs Clancy of the Overflow and The Rivetter were recorded by Peter Dawson, the former in a best-selling recording made on 4 May 1955, accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Charles Mackerras.

In 1991 Nancy Brown Arlen published her autobiography "The Black Sheep of the Brown family: A Magic Life!".

Albert Arlen died on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, in 1993.

No One Killed Jessica

No One Killed Jessica is a 2011 Indian biographical thriller film written and directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, produced by Ronnie Screwvala, and based on the murder case of Jessica Lal. The film stars Vidya Balan as Jessica's sister, Sabrina Ali, and Rani Mukerji as Meera Gaity, a character inspired by the TV news reporter following the case. It marks the acting debut of Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub who plays Manu Sharma, Jessica's murderer.

Amit Trivedi composed the score of the film which is distributed by UTV Motion Pictures. Produced on a budget of , the film released worldwide on 9 January 2011 and received generally positive reviews from critics and overall audience, who praised the direction of Gupta and performances of Balan, Mukerji & Ayyub. It was critically as well as commercially successful, grossing a total of  worldwide, thus emerging as the tenth highest-grossing Hindi film of 2011.

The following year, it was nominated for five Filmfare Awards including Best Director for Gupta, Best Actress for Balan, Best Debut (Male) for Ayyub and Best Film for Screwvala, winning Best Supporting Actress for Mukerji.

Plot
Tending bar at an elite event in Delhi, India, Jessica (Myra Karn) refuses to serve three men after the last call. One of the men, Manish (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub), who's the son of a big-time politician, shoots her in the head in response. There are dozens of eyewitnesses, but as Jessica's sister, Sabrina Lal (Vidya Balan), discovers, they are either conveniently forgetful or willing to sell their testimony to the highest bidder, leaving an open-and-shut case hostage to greed and political influence.

Manish is taken into custody by the police and investigations are begun. However, due to political pressure, all the witnesses turn hostile one by one, including Jessica's actor and model friend Vikram Jai Singh. Inspector N.K. (Rajesh Sharma) informs Sabrina that one of the two bullets that were sent for verification has been replaced. Sabrina's repeated attempts into getting the witnesses and evidence in order to prove Jessica's crime fail one by one. The court case runs until the year 2006. Due to the lack of evidence and witnesses, the court acquits the culprits. Sabrina's mother suffers a heart attack due to the trauma caused by the news and dies in the hospital. Hearing this, Sabrina's father also collapses in the hospital and is taken to the ICU.

Meanwhile, Meera Gaiti (Rani Mukerji), a reporter, finds out about the acquittal through the newspaper and gets shocked since she expected Jessica's case to be an open and shut case. Meera takes the matter in her hands and plans to get Justice for Jessica. With the approval of her editor, she performs various sting operations and exposes the recklessness of the law and order of the country while raising questions about the police and the authorities. N.K. Singh realizes his mistake and helps Meera by sending her the tape of Manish where he confesses his crime. Meera uses the clip to exploit the cases and starts to build up pressure on the system and the political party.

Soon, the public that has been following the case since so long on television decides to protest against the powerful clout and bring justice to Jessica. A number of phone calls, SMS, and voice messages are sent through the channel in support for Jessica. Meera uses this entire support from the public to reach out to the Government and even the President for their help. A Candlelight march is organized for Jessica by people of Delhi to stand for her and demand justice. Meanwhile, Sabrina, who has been through all the trauma while fighting for her sister in court, seems to have given up and moved on. Meera approaches Sabrina to stand up again for her sister and assures her that she would get justice this time as she has the support of the entire city.

Political pressure gets mounted on the family of Manish and his politician father resigns from his position. The High Court summons the police for the recklessness they showed in the case. The police appeal to the High Court to have the case re-opened and it gets accepted. The case goes on fast track. The case goes further into Supreme Court where Manish Bharadwaj is found guilty for the crime and is sent for life imprisonment. His allies Vishal Rastogi and Lucky Singh get punished with four years in jail.

In the end, it is known that Sabrina runs an advertising agency and does not have a boyfriend while her father is no more. Meera lives her life as she is.

Production
The film, set in New Delhi, was inspired by the true story of the controversial Jessica Lal murder case. The director explained that the title was inspired by a 2006 headline of a news story that ran when the accused killer in an infamous murder case was acquitted by a trial court. The events and the subsequent media coverage sparked nationwide protests, resulting in an appeal and re-opening of the murder case and the subsequent sentencing of the killer.

Themes

No One Killed Jessica is based on the true story of Jessica Lal, a Delhi-based model and restaurant worker who was shot in 1999 at a New Delhi restaurant by Siddharth Vashisht, better known as Manu Sharma. The killer was the son of the wealthy, influential, and intimidating Haryana politician, Venod Sharma, a close aide of the chief minister of Haryana, Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

Jessica, along with actor and model Shayan Munshi, were closing the bar at the restaurant where they worked. They were approached by Manu and his two friends. Infuriated by Jessica's refusal to serve them drinks after the bar closed, Manu fatally shot Jessica. The subsequent investigation and trial were stymied by Manu's family, who did not hesitate to use their political, financial, and law enforcement connections to intimidate, coerce, and bribe the majority of the witnesses to the crime. The case then became an uneven battle between Jessica's family (especially her sister Sabrina) and Manu's high-powered family and their associates in the local government.

In February 2006, the court acquitted Manu and his friends, citing a lack of sufficient evidence. This set off a public outcry and widespread protests, which as depicted in the movie, were led by Prabhloch Singh, the founder of an organization called the "Middle Finger Protests" from Manu Sharma's hometown Chandigarh. The backlash forced the re-opening of the investigation, which was placed on a judicial fast track. In December 2006, Manu was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Release
The film was released on 7 January 2011. It received positive reviews from critics and was also well received by the viewing public. No One Killed Jessica recovered its cost even before release through associated satellite and music rights.

Critical response
No One Killed Jessica received mostly positive reviews from critics. Nikhat Kazmi of the Times of India gave it four out of five stars, saying that the film "unleashes a myriad emotions". Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama also gave four out of five stars, describing it as "a remarkable blend of facts and fiction inspired by a series of real-life episodes, which has thankfully not been presented as a tedious biography or in a mind-numbing docu-drama format."

Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave it two and a half out of five stars, calling it a "full-on melodrama that doesn't always ring true." Mayank Shekhar of the Hindustan Times gave it three out of five stars.

Controversy
During the filming of scenes in Delhi, the building for the University School of Information Technology, one of the 12 on-campus schools of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, had its facade dressed up to look like the Patiala House District Court. In the middle of filming, the university's vice chancellor, Dilip Bandopadhyay, was prevented from entering his own campus. Bandopadhyay argued with bouncers, on guard outside the main gate, to let him enter while the cameras rolled, allegedly without his permission. As a result, the university terminated the contract of a faculty member accused of organising the film shoot on campus.

Geneva City School District

Geneva City School District is a school district in Geneva, New York, United States. The current superintendent is Ms. Trina Newton.

The district operates four schools: Geneva High School, Geneva Middle School, West Street School, and North Street School.

History

Relatively little is known about the early history of Geneva public schools. On June 19, 1812, the New York State legislature passed an act for the establishment of Common Schools which became the basis of the common school system in the State of New York. The date of the first public school established in Geneva in compliance with this act was in 1815. Subsequently, a number of schools were established in Geneva.

In 1853, the Geneva Union School was incorporated and authorized to maintain a classical department and to instruct a normal class. In 1863, Geneva schools were desegregated. On March 16, 1869, the Union School’s corporate title was changed to “The Geneva Classical and Union School.” It was the first Union School built in New York State.

In 1924-1925, a commodious High School building was built at the corner of Milton and Pulteney Streets in the City of Geneva. The school was erected on the grounds formerly occupied by a cemetery; the bodies from which were exhumed and removed to Glenwood Cemetery. The building was used by Finger Lakes Community College for several years starting in 2007, before being demolished in 2014.

In 1981, the high school was moved to its present location at 101 Carter Road in the City of Geneva.

Administration
The District offices are located at 400 West North Street in Geneva. The current Superintendent is Mrs. Trina Newton Previously, the school's offices were located at 649 South Exchange Street in Geneva, but were moved before the 2010 school year.

Geneva High School

Geneva High School is located at 101 Carter Road and serves grades 9 through 12. The current principal is Mr. Gregory Baker and the current assistant principals are is Mr. Kevin Fairben and Ms. Allison Stephens.

Geneva High School was originally based on 63 Pulteney Street in Geneva, a three-story building that was constructed in 1926. A new classroom wing was added to the building in 1965 on the southern half of the building. In 1981, following the construction of a new high school building on 101 Carter Road, the High School moved to the new location, the Pulteney Street campus served as the location of Geneva Middle School.

Geneva Middle School

Geneva Middle School is located at 101 Carter Road and serves grades 6 through 8. The current Principal is Mr. Robert Smith, and the current Assistant Principal is Mr. Nathan Schneckenberger.

The Middle School began on what is now North Street School on West North Street in Geneva. In 1981, the school moved to the former high school on 63 Pulteney Street and remained there until the 2004 school year. At that time, it moved to a brand new building and campus built adjacent to the High School.

North Street School

North Street School is located at 400 West North Street and serves grades 2 through 5. The current principal is Mr. Eric Vaillancourt, and the current assistant principal is Mrs. Heather Eysaman.

Originally constructed as the Geneva Junior High School, the building switched to an elementary school housed Grades K through 5 for students who lived within the area close to the school. In 2008-2009, the school became a school for grades 3 through 5, switching principals and some faculty.

Second grade was added to the school along with new classrooms in the fall of 2018.

West Street School

West Street School is located at 30 West Street and serves grades K through 1. The current principal is Mrs. Susan Meskos.

West Street school opened in 1956. The school originally housed Grades K through 6 (eventually Grades K through 5) for students who lived within the area close to the school. In 2008-2009, the school became a school for grades K through 2, switching principals and some faculty.

In 2018, Grade 2 moved to North Street School.

Greater Kansas City and Topeka Psychoanalytic Center and Institute

The Greater Kansas City and Topeka Psychoanalytic Center and Institute, also known as the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Center and Institute (GKCPI), is a psychoanalytic center in Kansas City, Missouri, that comprises several interrelated organizations. Currently these are the Kansas City Psychoanalytic Foundation, the Greater Kansas City and Topeka Psychoanalytic Center (GKCTPC), and the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Institute (GKCPI), also known as the Foundation, the Center, and the Institute. In the early 2000s, the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Institute merged with the older Topeka Psychoanalytic Society.

The Psychoanalytic Study Group of Kansas City was incorporated in 1965. During the 1990s it changed its name to the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Society. The Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Institute opened in 1996.

Topeka Psychoanalytic Society

The Menninger Clinic was established by Charles Menninger and his sons Karl and Will Menninger as a mental health treatment center in Topeka, with an early focus on psychoanalytic treatments. By 1936, a Psychoanalytic Study Group of Topeka was established at the clinic, under the sponsorship of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society, then the only midwestern organization recognized by the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA). Chicago had the second-oldest psychoanalytic institute in the United States and was the only midwestern organization recognized by the American Psychoanalytic Association at that time.

By the early 1940s, the Topeka  Institute for Psychoanalysis was founded as part of the Menninger Clinic. During the same time period, the Topeka Psychoanalytic Society, closely associated with the clinic, was established. The Society was significant in the 1940s Topeka society as the oldest psychoanalytic society in the western United Stats after the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. The Topeka Psychoanalytic Society consequently was given jurisdiction under the American Psychoanalytic Association over all psychoanalytic institutes in the United States west of Kansas; among others, the California Psychoanalytic Society and the psychoanalytic society of Oklahoma, later the Oklahoma Society for Psychoanalytic Studies were established under their sponsorship.

The Menninger Clinic relocated to Houston, Texas, between 2001 and 2003, and members of the Topeka Psychoanalytic Society who did not relocate with it, became affiliated with the psychoanalytic organizations in Kansas City, about 60 miles east of Topeka.

Srividya

Srividya, also known as Sreevidya, was an Indian film actress best known for her work predominantly in Malayalam and Tamil films with few Telugu, Kannada and Hindi films for 40 years.She acted in more than 800 films in her film career. In the latter part of her career, she concentrated on Malayalam films. In addition to acting, she occasionally worked as a playback singer as well. She was best known for restraint and subtlety in portrayal of varied emotions.She used her own voice for dubbing in all her movies in all languages. Srividya's personal life was full of tragedies. In 2006, she died of spine cancer, aged 53.

Early life
Srividya was born on 24 July 1953 in Madras, Tamil Nadu into a Tamil family. Tamil film comedian Krishnamurthy and Carnatic classical singer M. L. Vasanthakumari were her parents. She had a brother, Sankararaman. Her father had to stop acting in the year when she was born because of a disease which affected his facial muscles. Her family fell into financial crisis. Her mother worked long hours to meet the family's financial needs. Srividya once reportedly said that her mother didn't even have time to breastfeed her. Srividya debuted in acting at a very early age. When her parent's marriage faced problems due to financial difficulties, Srividya's youth was blighted. She got a marriage proposal from a scientist based in the U.S., but the marriage did not materialize due to financial problems faced by her family.

Acting career
Srividya launched her career as a child artist in the 1966 Tamil film Thiruvarutchelvar (1966) alongside legendary actor Sivaji Ganesan. Later she entered Malayalam films with a dance scene in Kumara Sambhavam (1969), directed by P.Subramanyan and in Telugu film Tata Manavadu (1972) directed by Dasari Narayana Rao. However, her first major role was that of a college student falling in love with her professor in the 1971 Tamil film Nootrukku Nooru, directed by K. Balachander. Her first film as heroine was Delhi to Madras (1972) in which she was paired opposite Jaishankar. In mid-1970s, she became busy in the Tamil film industry. She acted in films such as Velli Vizha, Sollathaan Ninaikkiren and Apoorva Raagangal, all directed by K. Balachander. She was Rajinikanth's first heroine in Apoorva Raagangal (1975).

She started acting in Malayalam in 1969. Her first movie was Chattambikkavala directed by N.Sankaran Nair, in which she acted as the heroine opposite to Sathyan. She gained public attention in Chenda, directed by A. Vincent. Among the south Indian language movies she acted in, the maximum number of movies was in Malayalam (1969 to 2003).

Her role as Amba from the mythological story (adapted film) from the Mahabarath, Amba Ambika Ambalika 1976, has been appreciated.

Playback singing
Srividya was a playback singer as well. She first sang for films in the Tamil film Amaran and then for Malayalam film Ayalathe Sundari. She later sang in several films, such as Oru Painkilikkadha, Njangalude Kochu Doctor, Rathilayam and Nakshathratharattu.

She was an expert classical vocalist as well. She used to sing in functions such as the Soorya Festival. She was mainly trained by her mother, who was one among the female trinity in Carnatic music, along with M. S. Subbulakshmi and D. K. Pattammal.

Personal life
Srividya acted in Apoorva Raagangal opposite Kamal Haasan which virtually changed her life. In the film she acted as lover of Kamal Haasan. She fell in love with Kamal Haasan during the making of the film. They had the support of their families, but they broke up. Their relationship was the inspiration of a Malayalam film Thirakkatha as well, released in 2008.

Later she fell in love with George Thomas, an assistant director in her Malayalam film Teekkanal. She married him on 9 January 1976 despite opposition from her family. As George wished, she was baptised before the marriage. She wanted to stay as a housewife, but had to return to acting, when George forced her to, citing financial issues. She soon realised that she made a wrong decision in marrying him. Her life became miserable and the marriage ended in divorce in 1980. After her divorce she continued acting in movies (mainly Malayalam). During this period she fell in love with film director Bharathan who made many films with her as the female lead. But they couldn't continue the relationship and eventually Bharathan married KPAC Lalitha. The divorce with George Thomas was followed by a prolonged legal battle to settle financial issues between the two. The case went up to the Supreme Court of India, where she won the final decision. After the divorce, she left Chennai and settled in Thiruvananthapuram.

Death
In 2003, she underwent a biopsy test following physical problems and was tested positive for spine cancer. She underwent treatment for three years. Two  months before her death on 17 August 2006, Ms. Srividya had executed a will and entrusted Ganesh Kumar, cine actor and MLA, to register a charitable society to ‘start a music and dance school for efficient students who could not get ample opportunities due to lack of money or to give away scholarship to such students to continue their studies and to extend financial assistance to deserving ailing artistes.’

"I am bequeathing all my properties except some payments mentioned elsewhere in this bill. An appropriate body with eminent persons, registered under Charitable Societies Act should be formed and the realised value of all my assets should be transferred as a nucleus fund," she said in the will entrusting Mr. Ganesh Kumar to register the society.

She had also left five lakh rupees each to her brother’s children and one lakh rupees each to her servants in the will, executed on 17 August 2006. In October 2006, she underwent chemotherapy, but cancer had already spread throughout her body. She died on 19 October 2006.

Embrace (Boom Boom Satellites album)

Embrace is the eighth studio album by Japanese electronic/rock duo Boom Boom Satellites. Released on January 9, 2013, Embrace serves as the band's 15th anniversary release. Songs on the album include their single "Broken Mirror" and the song "Drifter", which was used in Sony's Xperia commercials. The album will also be sold in a deluxe edition that contains a DVD and a USB flash drive. JPU Records released the album in the UK, Europe and Russia on 2 September 2013. The CD version from JPU Records contained an exclusive remix of Snow.

To support the album, BBS are going on both a short pre-release party tour at Club Quattro locations in Shibuya, Tokyo; Umeda, Osaka; and Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; and on a national tour following the album's release. The band will also livestream the final mastering of the album at New York City's Sterling Sound studio on Nico Nico Douga. The first promotional single from Embrace was a cover of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter", the duo's first ever cover song. This was followed by the release of another digital single of the track "Nine". In addition, album versions of previous promotional singles "Another Perfect Day" (released as a "Movie Edit") and "Drifter" (released as a "test run") are included on Embrace.

On December 29, 2012, the band revealed that, while on a doctor's visit, guitarist and vocalist Michiyuki Kawashima had been diagnosed with the symptoms of a brain tumor. The band decided to set aside January and March 2013 as the time Kawashima could undergo treatment and recover, cancelling 23 of the band's planned stops on their Embrace 2013 Tour.

Αr45 RNA

αr45 is a family of bacterial small non-coding RNAs with representatives in a broad group of α-proteobacteria from the order Rhizobiales. The first member of this family (Smr45C) was found in a Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 locus located in the chromosome (C). Further homology and structure conservation analysis identified homologs in several nitrogen-fixing symbiotic rhizobia  (i.e. S. medicae, S. fredii, Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.viciae, R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii, R. etli, and several Mesorhizobium species),  in the plant pathogens belonging to Agrobacterium species  (i.e. A. tumefaciens, A. vitis, A. radiobacter, and Agrobacterium H13) as well as in a broad spectrum of Brucella species (B. ovis, B. canis, B. abortus and  B. microtis, and several viobars of B. melitensis), in Bartonella species (i.e. B. henselae, B. clarridgeiae, B. tribocorum, B. quintana, B. bacilliformis, B. grahamii), in several members of the Xanthobactereacea family (i.e. Azorhizobium caulinodans, Starkey novella, Xhantobacter autotrophicus), and in some representatives of the Beijerinckiaceae family (i.e. Methylocella silvestris, Beijerinckia indica subsp. indica). αr45C RNA species are 147-153 nt long (Table 1) and share a well defined common secondary structure (Figure 1). All of the αr45 transcripts can be catalogued as trans-acting sRNAs expressed from well-defined promoter regions of independent transcription units within intergenic regions (IGRs) of the α-proteobacterial genomes (Figure 5).

Discovery and Structure
Smr45C sRNA was described by del Val et al., as a result of a computational comparative genomic approach in the intergenic regions (IGRs) of the reference S. meliloti 1021 strain (http://iant.toulouse.inra.fr/bacteria/annotation/cgi/rhime.cgi) . Northern hybridization experiments confirmed that the predicted smr45C locus did express a single transcript of 130-179 nt length, which accumulated differentially in free-living and endosymbiotic bacteria. TAP-based 5’-RACE experiments mapped the transcription start site (TSS) of the full-length Smr45C transcript to the 3,105,445 nt position in the S. meliloti 1021 genome (http://iant.toulouse.inra.fr/bacteria/annotation/cgi/rhime.cgi) whereas the 3’-end was initially assumed to be located at the 3,105,265 nt position matching the last residue of a short stretch of Us (Figure 2) of a putative, but low-rated, Rho-independent terminator. Recent deep sequencing-based characterization of the small RNA fraction (50-350 nt) of S. meliloti 2011 further confirmed the expression of Smr45C (here referred to as SmelC706), and mapped the full-length transcript to the same 5’ end and to the 3' end position 3,105,298.

The nucleotide sequence of Smr45C was initially used as query to search against the Rfam database (version 10.0; http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Rfam). This homology search rendered no matches to known bacterial sRNA in this database. Smr45C was next BLASTed with default parameters against all the currently available bacterial genomes (1,615 sequences at 20 April 2011; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). The regions exhibiting significant homology to the query sequence (78-89% similarity) were extracted to create a Covariance Model (CM) from a seed alignment using Infernal (version1.0) (Figure 2). This CM was used in a further search for new members of the αr45 family in the existing bacterial genomic databases.

The results were manually inspected to deduce a consensus secondary structure for the family (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The consensus structure was also independently predicted with the program locARNATE with very similar predictions. The manual inspection of the sequences found with the CM using Infernal allowed finding 39 closer homolog sequences, all of them present as single chromosomal copies in the α-proteobacterial genomes. The rhizobial species encoding these homologs to Smr45C were: S. medicae and S. fredii, two R. leguminosarum trifolii strains (WSM304 and WSM35), two R. etli strains CFN 42 and CIAT 652, the reference R. leguminosarum bv. viciae 3841 strain, and the Agrobacterium species A. vitis,A. tumefaciens, A. radiobacter and A. H13, Brucella species (B. ovis, B. canis, B. abortus, B. microtis, and several biobars of B. melitensis), Ochrobactrum anthropi,the Mesorhizobium species loti, M. ciceri and  M. BNC., Bartonella species (i.e. B. henselae, B. clarridgeiae, B. tribocorum, B. quintana, B. bacilliformis, B. grahamii). All these sequences showed significant Infernal E-values (8.93E-40 - 6.12E-36) and bit-scores. The rest of the sequences found with the model showed high E-values between (3.28E-06 and 4.56E-04) but lower bit-scores and are encoded by several members of the Xanthobactereacea family (i.e. A. caulinodans, Sa. novella, X. autotrophicus), Me. silvestris, and Be. indica subsp. indica.

Expression information
The expression of Smr45C in S. meliloti 1021 was assessed under different biological conditions; i.e. bacterial growth in TY, minimal medium (MM) and luteolin-MM broth and endosymbiotic bacteria (i.e. mature symbiotic alfalfa nodules). The expression of Smr45C in free-living bacteria was found to be growth-dependent, being the gene strongly down-regulated when bacteria entered the stationary phase. However, luteolin moderately stimulated the expression of Smr45C  (2-fold) but the gene was not detectable in endosymbiotic bacteria.

Recent co-inmuno precipitation experiments corroborate that Smr45C, does bind the bacterial protein Hfq for efficient target binding.

Promoter Analysis
All the promoter regions of the αr45 family members examined so far are very conserved in a sequence stretch extending up to 80 bp upstream of the transcription start site of the sRNA. All closest homolog loci have recognizable σ70-dependent promoters showing a -35/-10 consensus motif CTTAGAC-n17-CTATAT, which has been previously shown to be widely conserved among several other genera in the α-subgroup of proteobacteria. To identify binding sites for other known transcription factors we used the fasta sequences provided by RegPredict(http://regpredict.lbl.gov/regpredict/help.html), and used those position weight matrices (PSWM) provided by RegulonDB  (http://regulondb.ccg.unam.mx). We built PSWM for each transcription factor from the RegPredict sequences using the Consensus/Patser program, choosing the best final matrix for motif lengths between 14–30  a threshold average E-value < 10E-10 for each matrix was established, (see "Thresholded consensus" in http://gps-tools2.its.yale.edu). Moreover, we searched for conserved unknown motifs using MEME (http://meme.sdsc.edu/meme4_6_1/intro.html) and used relaxed regular expressions (i.e. pattern matching) over all Smr45C homologs promoters.

This study predicts differences in the regulation of the expression of the αr45 representatives in the different α-proteobacterial species. The Sinorhizobium, Rhizobium, and Agrobacterium groups presented a very well conserved motif that matches the consensus sequence recognized by the maltose repressor Mall. Furthermore, the promoters of the αr45 members of the . Furthermore, the promoters of the αr45 members of the Sinorhizobium group presented an additional conserved region between positions -60 and -85 (boxed in orange in Figure 4), with significant similarity to the matrix SMb21598_Rhizobiales from Reg_Predict. This binding site corresponds to a transcriptional regulator of the LacI family. The Rhizobium group, presented also a well conserved motif in this region for which no significant similarity could be found (marked in green in Figure 4). This analysis also revealed an extended conserved sequence stretch among the promoters of the Brucella and Bartonella αr45 sRNA loci, but no known transcription factor binding sites were recognizable in these motifs.

Genomic Context
All members of the αr45 family are trans-encoded sRNAs transcribed from independent promoters in chromosomal IGRs.  Most of the neighboring genes of the seed alignment’s members were not annotated and thus were further manually curated. The genomic regions of the αr45 sRNAs from Sinorhizobium, Rhizobium, A. vitis and A. radiobacter exhibited a great degree of conservation including the upstream and downstream genes which have been predicted to code for a LysR family transcriptional regulator and an ornithine descarboxilase, respectively (solo como aclaración, upstream and downstream se refieren al sentido de transcripción). Partial synteny of the αr45 genomic regions was observed in the Mesorhizobium and Brucella species where instead of aLysR family transcriptional regulator' gene an amidase coding gene was found. In Bartonella species the αr45 upstream gene was always found to code for a protein containing a rhodanase domain. In the genomic regions of the αr45 homologs in more distantly related α-proteobacteria (e.g. Starkeya, Metthylocella or Xanthobacter species) synteny was restricted to the downstream ornithine descarboxylase gene.

Rockenhausen

Rockenhausen is a town in the Donnersbergkreis, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is situated on the river Alsenz, approx.  north of Kaiserslautern.

Rockenhausen is the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde ("collective municipality") Nordpfälzer Land. The town consists the villages Marienthal, Dörnbach, and Rockenhausen itself.

History
Rockenhausen received its town charter in 1332. At that time subordinated to the Raugrafen, the town belonged to the Electoral Palatinate from 1457. During the Thirty Years' War, it was almost completely destroyed, as were almost all other villages in the region.

After 1792 the region was occupied by French troops in the First Revolutionary War and annexed after the peace of Campo Formio (1797). From 1798 to 1814 Rockenhausen belonged to the French department Donnersberg and was the capital (chef-lieu) of the canton Rockenhausen. Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815) and an exchange contract with Austria, the region became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816. From 1818 Rockenhausen was assigned to the Landkommissariat Kirchheim in the Bavarian Rheinkreis, later to the Bezirksamt Kirchheimbolanden. On 1 December 1900 the district office Rockenhausen was formed from parts of the district offices Kirchheimbolanden and Kaiserslautern. On January 1, 1939, the district office was renamed into the district of Rockenhausen.[4]

After the Second World War, Rockenhausen became part of the newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone and belonged to the administrative district of Palatinate until 1968.

On 7 June 1969, the district of Rockenhausen was united with the district of Kirchheimbolanden to form today's Donnersberg district. On 10 June 1979, the previously independent municipalities of Dörnbach with 550 inhabitants and Marienthal/Pfalz with 280 inhabitants were incorporated into the town.

Gustav Bläser

Gustav Bläser (9 May 1813 – 20 April 1874) was a German sculptor.

Biography
He was born in Düsseldorf, and in 1833 entered the studio of Christian Daniel Rauch, with whom he remained for eleven years. In 1845 he went to Rome, whence he was called to Berlin to design one of the eight marble groups adorning the Schlossbrücke, a task in which he was eminently successful. The group executed by him, and entitled “Minerva Leading a Youthful Warrior into Battle,” is considered the best of the series. His subsequent works include: “Saint Matthew, the Apostle,” a statue of colossal proportions (church at Helsingfors); “The Prophet Daniel” (Royal Castle, Berlin); “Borussia” (New Museum, Berlin); the equestrian statue of Frederick William IV (Rhine Bridge, Cologne); “Hospitality” (National Gallery, Berlin); and busts of Emperor William I, the Empress of Russia, von Alvensleben, von der Heydt, Alexander von Humboldt, Rauch, Abraham Lincoln (Washington, D.C.), and many others.
