The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz

The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz (original Spanish title: Ensayo de un crimen, "Rehearsal for a Violent Crime") is a 1955 Mexican film by Spanish-born writer-director Luis Buñuel.  It focuses on a would-be serial killer whose plans, although elaborate, never result in an actual murder.

Plot
Archibaldo de la Cruz (Alonso) is a wealthy Mexican man. As a privileged child during the Mexican Revolution, he witnessed the death of his governess, who died as she told him a fable about a music box that his mother had just given him. Because of the contents of the story and the coincidental timing of the governess's death, a young Archibaldo concludes that he had killed the woman using the music box. It is from there that his desire to kill begins.

As an adult, Archibaldo relates this story to a nun, and threatens to kill her with a straight razor. The terrified woman runs from Archibaldo, eventually running into an empty elevator shaft to her death. Archibaldo is called in by a judge investigating the incident. He confesses that he is responsible for her death, and for many others.

Patricia Terrazas (Macedo), is rather loud and constantly at conflict with her lover.  After witnessing a fight between her and her lover, Archibaldo follows her and offers to drive her home, which she accepts.  On arriving, he fantasizes of killing her with his straight razor, but is interrupted when her lover arrives home. The next morning a police officer arrives at Archibaldo's home, with news that Patricia had committed suicide.

Next, Archibaldo turns his attention to Carlota Cervantes (Welter), a woman who outwardly appears very religious, and is purported to be a virgin. However, she is having an affair with a married man. Archibaldo approaches her saying that he is very conflicted between good and evil. He thinks that Carlota can fix his problems, and proposes to marry her.

In the meantime, Archibaldo pursues another woman, Lavinia (Miroslava), whom he met in an antique shop, and later a bar. Lavinia works as a model for mannequins, and also shows American tourists around town. Archibaldo invites Lavinia to his home under false pretenses. He tells her that when they met, she reminded him of Joan of Arc being consumed by flames. He plots to strangle her and burn her in a kiln, but unexpectedly, the doorbell rings. It is Lavinia's tourist friends, the gringuitos. Lavinia has a disappointed Archibaldo take them on a tour of his home. When they leave, Lavinia says that she must go as well, and that she cannot see Archibaldo again because she is getting married.

Just as this is happening, Carlota comes in with her mother to accept Archibaldo's proposal. But Archibaldo soon learns of her adulterous relationship, and is displeased.  He fantasizes about making her kneel and pray on her wedding night, and shooting her while she is praying. The wedding goes through, however, her jilted ex-lover ends up shooting her instead.

After having heard all of this, the judge says that Archibaldo has committed no crimes, and that merely thinking of killing people is not a crime. Archibaldo, despite his intense feelings of guilt, is deemed innocent. As if to be processing this unexpected reaction, Archibaldo takes a walk in the park. He then throws his music box into a lake, and moves on. He runs into Lavinia, whose marriage did not work out. The two walk together and the film ends.

Academic criticism
The film has been analyzed and studied by international academics such as Victor Fuentes and Gerardo T. Cummings. Fuentes, a retired professor from University of California, Santa Barbara, has included chapters dedicated to the detailed analytical study of Ensayo de un crimen in his last book, La mirada de Buñuel (Spain: Tabla Rasa Libros y Ediciones, 2006). Furthermore, he has found correlations between Ensayo de un crimen and Él.

Gerardo T. Cummings, on the other hand, published an article—by the Puerto Rican journal Revista Horizontes in 2004—on the intertextual connections between the cinematic version and the original literary source, the novel by Rodolfo Usigli. The article was part of a larger dissertation chapter on the echoes of the novel in the film. Other critics who have dissected the film version of Ensayo de un crimen have been Marsha Kinder and Ilan Stavans.

Buñuel briefly references the production of  Ensayo de un crimen in his 1983 autobiography Mon dernier soupir (My Last Breath). In it, he recounts how he was syndicated into orchestrating an original composition for the movie, and that when the entirety of the members of the orchestra disrobed due to heat, he saw that "at least 3/4ths of them carried holstered guns". Later in the book, he sadly recalls the ironic parallel between a scene where the protagonist cremates a wax mannequin based on Miroslava, and Miroslava's actual cremation following her suicide shortly after production wrapped up.

Its exploration of obsessive desire has been compared to Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958).

Slant Magazine, in 2002, called it "a twisted tragicomedy on male obsession [...] the closest Spanish auteur Luis Buñuel ever came to directing a bona fide suspense thriller."

Vimic

Vimic is an American heavy metal band consisting of Joey Jordison, Jed Simon, Kyle Konkiel, Matthew Tarach, Kalen Chase, and Steve Marshall.

History
Following Joey Jordison's split with Slipknot in late 2013, he opted to devote his time to a new project. Scar the Martyr, his side project which released one album before disbanding, was partially revived and rebranded as Vimic, with Jordison replacing vocalist Henry Derek Bonner with Kalen Chase, while keeping the previous project's remaining line-up unchanged.  According to Jordison, Vimic had three songs immediately ready, at the time when he announced the band in an interview with Jose Mangin on Sirius XM on May 5, 2016. The first song, entitled "Simple Skeletons", was released along with the band's unveiling.  On May 16, they released a music video for another song, "She Sees Everything".  On June 3, they released a third song and music video, "My Fate". The band immediately began touring in 2016 as a 5-piece, as Kris Norris departed the band immediately after the release of "Simple Skeletons". However, in fall 2016 the band cancelled the UK leg for undisclosed reasons. Later that winter, they announced Steve Marshall as their new second guitarist, filling in the role vacated by Kris Norris.

Their debut album, Open Your Omen, was scheduled to be released in 2019. Shortly after releasing their debut song, former Scar the Martyr guitarist Kris Norris wrote on his Facebook page that he wrote "Simple Skeletons" and that he had also left the band after that single.

In mid-2017, images surfaced of Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine working in the studio with Jordison, fueling speculation that he was somehow involved with the album's recording. In October 2017, it was finally revealed that Mustaine is featured on new song "Fail Me (My Temple)", which was released along with the announcement that Open Your Omen would now be released via UMe/T-Boy Records on an as-yet-unconfirmed date in 2019. In the announcement, it was also confirmed that the album was produced by Jordison and Kato Khandwala with mixing and mastering partially overseen by Mustaine. However, activity ground to a halt throughout 2018 with Jordison's commitments to Sinsaenum, Konkiel's work with Bad Wolves and Simon forming Imonolith, as well as the death of Khandwala.

Marliese Kasner

Marliese Kasner ( Miller; born January 8, 1982 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian curler from Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. She is a former member of her sister, Stefanie Lawton's team.

Career

Kasner is a two-time Canadian Junior Champion, having won the title in 2000 playing third for her sister, and winning it in her own right as skip in 2003. At the 2000 World Junior Curling Championships, Kasner won a silver medal with her sister, and at the 2003 World Juniors, she won the gold medal for Canada, defeating Cassandra Johnson of the United States in the final.

After Juniors, Kasner joined back with her sister, playing as her third. In 2005, the Lawton rink won the Saskatchewan Scott Tournament of Hearts and would represent Saskatchewan at the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts for the first time. At the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts the team finished 3rd with a 7-4 record and earned themselves a playoff spot. In the 3 vs. 4 page playoff game they lost to Manitoba's Jennifer Jones. They would also compete at the 2005 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials. At the trials, the team finished round robin with a 6-3 record and earned a spot in the playoffs, but lost to Shannon Kleibrink's team in the semifinal. Team Lawton would lose back to back provincials to Betker in 2008 and Englot in 2009. However, the team rebounded and won the 2008 Canada Cup of Curling defeating Kelly Scott in the final. The team won their second provincial title when they defeated Rene Miettinen at the 2009 Saskatchewan Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The team made the playoffs, but lost in the 3 vs. 4 game to Jennifer Jones once again. Lawton's rink was one of four that received an automatic bye to the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials. The team finished 4-3 and earned a tiebreaker match where they lost to Krista McCarville and out of the playoffs.

In 2010 Kasner made the switch from third to lead when Anderson joined the team. They would go on and win the Canada Cup in 2010, defeating Olympic silver medalist Cheryl Bernard and also in 2012 where they defeated Olympic Gold Medalist Kaityln Lawes (Team Jones). At the 2013 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, Lawton's team finished the round robin with a disappointing 2-5 record, missing the playoffs. After losing the 2011, 2012, 2013 provincial championship, the team won their 3rd title at the 2014 Saskatchewan Scotties Tournament of Hearts after defeating Michelle Englot. The team represented the province at the 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Montreal, finishing 4th yet again, after losing the 3-4 Page Playoff game to Valerie Sweeting and to Chelsea Carey in the bronze-medal game. Team Lawton will once again represent Saskatchewan for the fourth time at the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw.

Competing with Dustin Kalthoff in the 2016 World Curling Federation Mixed Doubles Championships, their 5th-place finish earned Canada the points needed to qualify for the event in the 2018 Olympics.

Personal life
Kasner is employed as a teacher with the Saskatchewan Rivers School Division She is married and has three sons.

SVT World

SVT World was an international television channel from the Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Television. The channel was available on satellite in Europe and much of Africa, Australia and Asia, terrestrially in parts of Finland and worldwide via IPTV.

The channel launched in 1988 as TV4 broadcasting a mix of SVT1 and SVT2 terrestrially to the Swedish-speaking areas of southern Finland. The channel was later  renamed SVT4. On December 10, 1997 the channel started broadcasting from the Sirius 2 satellite to all of Europe and was renamed SVT Europa. Initially, only regular households and hotels in the Nordic countries were allowed to receive the channel, but in 1999, cable networks in Spain were allowed to distribute the channel and in 2000 hotels outside the Nordic countries were allowed to include the channel.

In 2005, SVT Europa started broadcasting on the Thaicom 5 satellite and thereby became available in parts of Africa, Asia, and Australia, although this requires a large satellite dish of about 2–3 metres. SVT Europa no longer broadcasts from the Sirius 2 satellite, it is now available via the satellite Eurobird 9.

The broadcasts are mostly made up of the Swedish language programmes from SVT1 and SVT2. If both SVT1 and SVT2 show a programme for which SVT does not have international rights, programmes from SVT24 or Kunskapskanalen are shown. When SVT1 and SVT2 are not broadcasting, SVT24 is shown. Teletext pages from SVT Text are included in the broadcasts. The radio channels Radio Sweden and SR P4 are also included with SVT Europa.

Analogue terrestrial broadcasts in Finland ceased on 1 September 2007 when Finland switched completely to digital television. On that day, SVT Europa started broadcasting as a digital pay-TV channel there. In September 2011, however, it became a free-to-air channel again, sharing a channel with Yle Fem in southern Finland and the Swedish-speaking Ostrobothnia.

To reflect the fact that the channel is now broadcast in four continents, its name was changed to SVT World in mid-April 2009. With the name change the channel moved its playout centre, which allowed it to broadcast in the widescreen format (instead of the 4:3 letterbox format used until then) and time-shift programmes to be broadcast when it is night-time in Sweden. The channel will also get new graphics.

Broadcasting in the Asian region via Thaicom 5 was stopped in April 2016.

In October 2016, it was announced that the channel would be closed on 30 April 2017. The decision was taken because the business was no longer seen as economically viable, as a result of increased competition as well as the impending end of simulcasts of SVT World on Yle Fem in Finland, when it and Yle Teema would eventually merge into a new single channel in April 2017.

Regional programming for the world
SVT World broadcast Regionala Nyheter (Regional News) throughout the world at 1:40–6:00 am (7:40 am – 1:00 pm).

Lake Izabal

Lake Izabal (), also known as the Golfo Dulce, is the largest lake in Guatemala with a surface area of 589.6 km² (145,693 acres or 227.6 sq mi) and a maximum depth is 18 m (59 ft). The Polochic River is the largest river that drains into the lake.  The lake, which is only a metre above sea level, drains into the Gulf of Honduras of the Caribbean Sea through the smaller Golfete Dulce, which is at sea level, and the navigable Rio Dulce.

The well preserved colonial Castillo de San Felipe de Lara guarded this lake against pirate attacks, and there are some ancient sunken ships nearby.  It is home to several species including the Manatee, Jaguar, Spider Monkey, Blue Eye Cichlids, and Howler Monkey, and is a popular place for birdwatching.

Culture
There are many indigenous communities surrounding the lake, namely the Mayas Q'eqchi'. The fish in the lake are a major source of nutrition in these people's diet. An aquatic plant known as Hydrilla, which has both positive and negative effects on the ecosystem, has been shown to nourish the existing fish species.

The Castle of San Felipe de Lara: This castle, constructed in 1652 in honor of Judge Antonio Lara Mangravo, was built to protect the region from pirates. The castle is equipped with cannons and a sturdy framework throughout.

Controversy
Surrounding Lake Izabal are mountains that contain an abundance of nickel. Although nickel mines have been a source of environmental contamination in other countries, the government of Guatemala has granted licenses for nickel exploitation. As in other countries, this endeavor could pollute the lake resulting in environmental degradation, economic repercussions, and a potential decline in tourism. In a similar yet ironic way, the giant grebe bird (known as "poc" in Mayan) that used to live around Lake Atitlán, a lake that lies approximately 209 km (130 mi) away, is now extinct due to the creation of a resort, demonstrating the potential consequences of mining for Lake Izabal.

Among the many companies that are involved in this business are the Guatemalan Nickel Company, a foreign private multinational company, and Skye Resources, a Canadian business. Another Canadian mining company, the Anfield Nickel Corporation, was granted a 25-year mining license to extract 100% of the nickel they find in the designated area. Through one way or another these two companies have gained possession of the mining territory for 120 USD per square kilometer. Additionally, they, and other foreign mining companies, have only needed to pay Guatemala a mere 1% in taxes of what they retrieve; this has raised suspicions about whether these mining companies have used bribes to obtain such generous transactions.

Zelma, Saskatchewan

Zelma is a small village in Saskatchewan. The village is located along Saskatchewan Highway 763.

History
During the early years following the establishment of Zelma, the village had a thriving business community with a general store, lumber yards, a hotel, bakery, flour mill and grain elevators; most of these business had disappeared by the end of the 1940s.

The Zelma Church was building in 1909 with a load of $500 for lumber and volunteer labour; initially as a Presbyterian Church, it was reorganised in 1917 as the Zelma United Church.

Until 1912, students were required to attend school in the neighboring communities of Stonemount or Golden Wheat due to reluctance of many of the farmers (who were bachelors) in the area to vote in favor of spending tax money on a school; in 1912 the school district was established, originally using the church for classes until a one-room school house was constructed in 1925. The school closed in 1969, with students bussed to Young.

Devimane Ghat

Devimane is a Hill station and High altitude  village in Kumta Sirsi taluk of Uttara Kannada District in Karnataka.It is a Hill Station located In Western Ghats.The road to reach this Hill Station is named as Devimane Ghat. Devimane Ghat Road lies in the Western Ghat part of Karnataka, India, ultimately connecting Malenadu town Sirsi and Karavali town Kumta. Being under the lush forest zone in Uttara Kannada District it consists of 10 hairpin curves currently with a well-engineered road that reduces the risk of accidents.
The road's elevation ranges from . A temple of Goddess Durga Devi is at the beginning of this road at elevation 429m, The ghat section was named after the temple "Devimane", meaning "the home of goddess Devi". There are 5 hairpins curves between Devimane Temple and Sampakhanda. So,  Totally there are 15 Hairpin Turns in this stretch of road.

After entering the Western Ghats, there are many sharp curves until Ekkambi. On the Deccan Plateau, three hairpin curves exist between Ekkambi and Sirsi.
There are totally 12 bridges constructed in this ghat section. At this point, the road becomes signed SH69/SH142 and is maintained by the Karnataka State Highway works department.
The ghat section has been posing a threat to the wildlife present in the slopes of Western Ghat mountain range. Wild animals, including elephants, were hit by vehicles at certain times of the day.

Climate
During the months of May, June, July, August, September this region receives heavy rainfall over 6000mm. Villages near Devimane ghat are Hebre, Bandla, Devimane, Hebbail, Kodambale, Sampakhanda receives over 5000mm of rainfall each year creating numerous rivers and waterfalls.

Due to the proximity of ocean the low elevated regions experience high-temperature rise over 40°C during summer. But, in higher elevated regions the temperature would not go beyond 32°C due to the presence of dense forest range caused by heavy rainfall.

Winter season commences from November and ends in February, as it lies in the high elevated region and close to the ocean it experiences Tropical Highland climate and it experiences shivery climate where the temperature drops below 10°C and Sampakhanda being the coldest place where the temperature has dropped below 5°C many times and even in summer season temperature often drops below 12°C. Since the weather statistics have poor track in this region, perfection in the weather numbers has certain deviations. Even in lowland region near Devimane Ghat experiences cold during winter but temperature unusually drops below 15°C.

Common gamma chain

The common gamma chain (γc) (or CD132), also known as interleukin-2 receptor subunit gamma or IL-2RG, is a cytokine receptor sub-unit that is common to the receptor complexes for at least six different interleukin receptors: IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and interleukin-21 receptor. The γc glycoprotein is a member of the type I cytokine receptor family expressed on most lymphocyte (white blood cell) populations, and its gene is found on the X-chromosome of mammals.

This protein is located on the surface of immature blood-forming cells in bone marrow. One end of the protein resides outside the cell where it binds to cytokines and the other end of the protein resides in the interior of the cell where it transmits signals to the cell's nucleus. The common gamma chain partners with other proteins to direct blood-forming cells to form lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). The receptor also directs the growth and maturation of lymphocyte subtypes: T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. These cells kill viruses, make antibodies, and help regulate the entire immune system.

Gene
Cytokine receptor common subunit gamma also known as interleukin-2 receptor subunit gamma or IL-2RG is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL2RG gene. The human IL2RG gene is located on the long (q) arm of the X chromosome at position 13.1, from base pair 70,110,279 to base pair 70,114,423.

Structure
The γc chain is an integral membrane protein that contains extracellular, transmembrane, and intracellular domains.

Function
Lymphocytes expressing the common gamma chain can form functional receptors for these cytokine proteins, which transmit signals from one cell to another and direct programs of cellular differentiation.

Ligands
The γc chain partners with other ligand-specific receptors to direct lymphocytes to respond to cytokines including IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21.

Signalling

IL2RG has been shown to interact with Janus kinase 3.

Clinical significance

X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency
X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency is caused by mutations in the IL2RG gene. More than 200 different mutations in the IL2RG gene have been identified in people with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Most of these mutations involve changes in one or a few nucleotides (DNA building blocks) in the gene. These changes lead to the production of a nonfunctional version of the common gamma chain protein  or no production of protein. Without the common gamma chain, important chemical signals are not relayed to the nucleus and lymphocytes cannot develop normally. A lack of functional mature lymphocytes disrupts the immune system's ability to protect the body from infection. Sufferers have no functional immunity and can die within months after birth without successful bone marrow transplantation or alternatively, isolation from exposure to pathogens. Without important developmental signals from IL-7 and IL-15, T-cell and NK cell populations respectively fail to develop.

Experiments in animal models have shown X-SCID to occur similarly in dogs, but not in mice.

Schizophrenia

Alterations in the immune response are involved in pathogenesis of many neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. Distinct gene variants of a number of pro-inflammatory and chemotactic cytokines together with their receptors associate with this disorder. IL2RG represents an important signaling component of many interleukin receptors and so far, no data on the functional state of this receptor in schizophrenia have been reported. Over-expression of the IL2RG gene may be implicated in altered immune response in schizophrenia and contribute to the pathogenesis of this disorder.

Martin MS

The Martin MS-1 was an experimental scout biplane ordered by the United States Navy and was intended to operate from a submarine. It first flew in 1923 and the type was used for tests until 1926 when the project was cancelled.

Development
Following World War I, the U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics conducted studies concerning the possibility of submarine-borne observation and scouting aircraft. After surfacing, this plane should be rolled out and quickly assembled. It was planned to launch the seaplane by ballasting the submarine until the deck was awash. The Navy ordered two types of aircraft, the Martin MS-1, constructed of wood and fabric, and the all-metal Cox-Klemin XS. The MS-1 first flew from Lake Erie in early 1923.

Operational history
The submarine S-1 became the experimental platform for the operation of scout seaplanes late in 1923. The MS-1 and the Cox-Klemin XS were used for the trials, mounted in a cylindrical pod behind the conning tower. The first successful attempt was made on 5 November 1923. The first full cycle of surfacing, assembly, launching, retrieving, disassembly, and submergence took place on 28 July 1926, on the Thames River at New London, Connecticut using the XS-2.

A total of six Martin MS-1s were built, with all six still being listed with the U.S. Navy as late as 1926. After further trials during 1926, all the experimental aircraft were scrapped.

Unterhaching

Unterhaching () is the second largest municipality in the district of Munich in Bavaria, Germany.

History

Based upon the discovery of graves, the settlement of the Haching Valley can be traced back as far as 1100 B.C. The settlement of the Bavarian tribes is believed to have occurred between the fifth and eighth centuries.

The name "Haching" comes from the family name "Hacho" and the aristocracy of the Hahilinga. The name Haching is first recorded in a document from the Schäftlarn monastery in the year 806, left by the abbott Petto. Therefore, Haching is hundreds of years older than Munich.

The name "Unterhaching" (lat. inferiori hachingin) emerges for the first time in the year 1180 in a possession listing of the bishop of Freising (Freesing).

Up until the 1803 secularization the surrounding monasteries were the primary landowners in the area.  Also derived from this is the municipal coat of arms, which today shows the abbott staff of the Schäftlarn monastery and the sea-rose sheet from the coat of arms of the monastery Tegernsee.
Unterhaching began the 20th century as purely a farming village.  The number of inhabitants exploded from 616 inhabitants in 1900 to 20,545 in 2000.

In 1955 Unterhaching split from Ottobrunn and became an independent municipality.

In 1968 the building of two new large housing estates began,  "Grünau" and Fasanenpark, which began the development of the City into a modern housing development.

Sports

Unterhaching is well known in Germany for its football (soccer) team SpVgg Unterhaching, which played in the Bundesliga during the 1999–2000 and 2000–01 seasons. In 2001, SpVgg Unterhaching won the DFB-Hallenpokal.

The SpVgg Unterhaching also has a very successful bob-sledding team, with multiple world and European titles. The Olympic gold-medalist Christoph Langen is a member.

The volleyball department is just as successful TSV Unterhaching and played for six years in German Bundesliga (first division).

Economics

Unterhaching is the base for Develey, a manufacturer of mustards and other fine foods, and the headquarters for the chewing gum manufacturer Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. The company Anton Schrobenhauser has become one of the largest building contractors in Munich and the surrounding areas.

Environment
The municipality Unterhaching and its enterprise Geothermie Unterhaching GmbH & Co KG are now able to profit from a combined heat and power plant exploiting geothermal energies. The project was successfully realized together with Rödl & Partner, a globally operating auditing and consultancy firm. It is the first German project in this dimension, as well as the first time to use the power generating technology known as the KALINA-process on an industrial scale in Germany.

The drilling works lasted about six month for each of the two boreholes. While the first drill hole was finished in fall 2004, the second was completed in winter 2007. The ecological and economic success of this project has been certain since geothermal waters with temperatures up to  and a delivery of around 150 l/s were developed in depths of up to .

Wynne Gibson

Winifred Elaine "Wynne" Gibson (July 3, 1898 – May 15, 1987) was an American actress of the 1930s.

Early years
Gibson was born in New York City, the daughter of Frank W. Gibson and Elaine Coffin Gibson. Her father was an efficiency expert, and her mother was an authorized Christian Science healer. She attended Wadleigh High School for Girls in New York City.

At one point during her youth, she ran away from home with a touring play troupe, acting with the group in three cities before her father found her.

Stage
Gibson was a member of Frederick Santley's Melody Maids and Ray Raymond's Melody Charmers. She toured in the Ritz Girls show, in which she and Billie Vernon performed a sister act. Gibson was seen in vaudeville as part of The Melody Charmers. Her Broadway credits include Jarnegan (1928) and When You Smile (1925). In 1955-56, she served as chair of the Equity Library Theatre.

Film
Early in her career, Gibson had a small part in a film but had no special interest in appearing before the camera. It was the stage that interested her and she began her stage career in chorus and was soon playing leads. She toured Europe then returned to America and tried for a dramatic part but failed and returned to musical comedy. Paramount signed her when about to film Nothing But the Truth (1929), starting her success which continued in some 50 films between 1929 and 1956 although many were B movies.

Personal life
Gibson had a brief marriage to a stage manager. After that, she married John Gallaudet, an actor, in 1927. They divorced in 1930. She was a long-time companion of former Warner Brothers actress Beverly Roberts.

Death
Gibson died in 1987 of a cerebral thrombosis in Laguna Niguel, California.

Robert J. Brown

Robert J. Brown (August 23, 1904 – April 29, 1985) was an American football center  and university regent.

Biography
He played college football for the University of Michigan from 1923 to 1925.  He later served as a member of the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan from 1967 to 1974. As a senior, he was the captain of the 1925 Michigan Wolverines football team that head coach Fielding H. Yost called the greatest team he ever coached. The 1925 Wolverines team had a record five All-Americans (Bennie Oosterbaan, Benny Friedman, Thomas Edwards, Harry Hawkins and Brown) and outscored their opponents 227–3.  Remarkably, despite giving up only three points in eight games, the three points were enough to give Northwestern a 3–2 victory on November 7, 1925, on a wet and muddy Soldier Field in Chicago. Other than the loss to Northwestern, the 1925 had seven shutouts, beating Michigan State (39–0), Indiana (63–0), Wisconsin (21–0), Illinois (3–0), Navy (54–0), Ohio State (10–0), and Minnesota (35–0).  Yost called Brown, "One of the greatest inspirational leaders I have seen."  After leaving Michigan, Brown was a businessman in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  He ran for the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan in 1966 as a Republican and served as a Regent from 1967 to 1974.  His son, Robert M. Brown was captain of the 1962 Wolverines team, giving them the distinction of being the only father and son football players for the University of Michigan who both served as team captains.  Brown died in 1985.

Crossing-the-bridge noodles

Crossing-the-bridge noodles is a rice noodle soup from Yunnan province, China. It is one of the most well-known dishes in Yunnan cuisine.

Description
Crossing-the-bridge noodles has over 100-year history and it was listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Kunming city in 2008 to promote Yunnan food culture. The dish is served with a large bowl of boiling hot broth and the soup ingredients. The soup is made with chicken, pork bone and seasoning, such as Chinese star anise and ginger. Also, using a layer of chicken fat to insulate the soup and therefore keep it warm for longer. These ingredients are separated. The soup ingredients are served on a cutting board or plate and include raw vegetables and lightly cooked meats.  Common ingredients include thin slices of turkey, chunks of chicken, chicken skin, strips of bean curd sheets, chives, sprouts and rice noodles.  Once added into the broth, it cooks quickly with a layer of melted chicken fat and oil glistening on top.  The soup takes a few minutes to cook, and it is then spooned out into small bowls.  Jim Thurman of LA Weekly writes that "with the rice noodles and fresh chicken, it's reminiscent of an extremely subtle version of Vietnamese pho ga [chicken pho]. Which shouldn't surprise anyone, as Yunnan shares a border with Vietnam."

Claims of name origin
One story that has gained traction begins with a scholar who was studying hard for his imperial exams on a small island.  His wife, who would bring him food, found that by the time she had crossed the bridge to the island the soup would be cold and the noodles were soggy.  She then decided to load a large earthen pot with boiling broth with a layer of oil on top that would act as insulation and keep the broth warm.  The noodles and other ingredients were kept in separate container, and when she arrived, she mixed the two containers together for a warm soup.

Another claim regarding the origin of the name comes from the way the ingredients are transferred between containers.  The process is similar to crossing a bridge between bowls, and hence it is called "crossing-the-bridge" noodles.

There are reportedly many other variations on the origin of the name.

Varieties

The main ingredient of the noodles is rice. Rice vermicelli production differs in different regions. In Kunming, Yunnan, there are two varieties: "dry paste" or "sour paste". The production process differs depending on individual preferences and tastes. "Sour paste", as the name suggests, tastes a little sour, but is characterized by a relatively thick and soft rice noodle. The "dry paste" does not have the sourness of the sour paste, and the noodle is relatively thin and more rigid. Older people in Kunming think the "sour paste" noodles are more authentic. Most people in Yunnan think the Kunming noodle does not satisfy their taste buds, and generally believe Mengzi County and Jianshui County makes better noodles.

Now, as people's tastes change, all kinds of noodle varieties are flooding onto the market. Kunming people now do not necessarily pick a "dry paste" or "sour paste." At present, people prefer the more efficient, slippery "water-washed rice noodle" and "purple rice noodle", one that is mixed with purple rice.

Status

The development of Crossing the Bridge Noodles has changed people's eating habits over the years, especially breakfasts. Generally in street markets, the hot fresh rice noodle is put into a bowl of boiling water for about half a minute and then colored sauce is added to the bowl. This is known as the "hat" of the sauce. Crossing the Bridge Noodles served in markets in the morning are usually completed in one minute.

There are a few franchised restaurants which serve more intricate or elaborate Crossing the Bridge Noodle dishes.  Normally Crossing the Bridge Noodles are ordered in a set. A set of bridge noodle will cost 10 to 50 Yuan. Ordering the Crossing the Bridge Noodles with more ingredients will command higher prices.

Ingredients
The general ingredients of guoqiao mixian include:
raw quail eggs,
turkey slices,
chicken slices, and
colored vegetables.

Crossing-the-bridge noodles are generally served first with a bowl of boiling hot soup. The attendants will then be on the other side of the bowl and put the ingredients into the bowl, generally in order from raw to cooked: meat first, then quail eggs, and then vegetables. Finally, they perform the noodle "crossing" with chopsticks and the dish is ready to be consumed.  The amount of oil, chili, vinegar, and soy sauce one puts in the bowl varies according to personal taste.

Dromornis

Dromornis is a genus of prehistoric birds that stood up to  tall and weighed up to .

Taxonomy

Although they looked like giant emus, the Dromornis are more closely related to fowl. Dromornis are part of a family of giant birds called Dromornithidae that lived from 8 million years ago until less than 30,000 years ago. Australia had been separated from the big southern landmass of Gondwana for millions of years by this time. The animals of Australia had evolved very slowly in almost complete isolation from the animals of other continents. The type specimen, a femur, was found in a  well at Peak Downs, Queensland, and subsequently described by Richard Owen in 1872. Due to the poor fossil record of D. australis (the type species of the genus) and the large time gap between the two Dromornis species, D. stirtoni may eventually be reassigned to the genus Bullockornis.

They are sometimes referred to as mihirung birds, or "Stirton's thunder birds". 'Mihirung paringmal' is an Aboriginal word from the Tjapwuring people of Western Victoria and it means 'giant bird'.

Description
Dromornis stirtoni was  tall and weighed up to . It was heavier than the moa and taller than Aepyornis, though slightly smaller than Vorombe. This genus had a long neck and stub-like wings, rendering it flightless. Its legs were powerful, but it is not believed to have been a fast runner. The bird's beak was large and immensely powerful, leading some researchers to theorize that it was a herbivore that used its beak to shear through tough plant stalks. Others have argued that the size of the beak suggests that the bird was a carnivore, but this has since been dismissed, as the beak lacks specializations for carnivory and the bird shows several other specializations towards herbivory.

Dromornis was sexually dimorphic. Males were more robust and heavier, though not necessarily taller, than females.

Habitat

It inhabited subtropical open woodlands in Australia  during the Late Miocene to the early Pliocene.  There were forests and a permanent water supply at Alcoota, one location where the Dromornis birds lived, although the climate was very unpredictable.

Pedro Opaso

Pedro Opaso Letelier (July 20, 1876 – April 9, 1957) was a Chilean politician and provisional vice president of Chile in 1931.

He was born in Talca, the son of Ursicino Opaso and Margarita Letelier. He completed his studies in his native city, and then attended the Universidad de Chile, where he became a physician. He started his political career as the first mayor of the city of Río Claro. In 1920 Opaso was named minister in several occasions as a representative of the Democratic Liberal Party.  He was elected a deputy for Curicó (1921–1924) and a Senator for Talca (1924–1930) and Talca, Linares and Curico (1930–1932).

At the time of the collapse of the first administration of Carlos Ibáñez del Campo in 1931, he was the President of the Senate. As such he took over as provisional vice president. He assumed on July 26, and that same night he formed his cabinet, headed by a very reluctant Juan Esteban Montero as interior minister and Pedro Blanquier, the other key player, as Finance minister.

When the ministers arrived on the next morning, Opaso resigned by decree on Montero. His entire administration had lasted less than 24 hours. The speed he demonstrated to get rid of the power earned him the nickname of The Relayer (), that accompanied him till his death.

After his very brief administration, he was elected Senator for Curicó, Talca, Maule y Linares (1933–1949) and again President of the Senate in 1944. He died in Santiago in 1957.

Atlas Suisse

The Atlas Suisse (French for Swiss Atlas; also known as the Meyer-Weiss-Atlas), by Johann Rudolf Meyer and Johann Heinrich Weiss, is the oldest map series based upon scientific survey and covering the whole of Switzerland.  It was published between 1786 and 1802.

In 1786, the industrialist Johann Rudolf Meyer, who came from Aarau, decided to create a map of Switzerland at his own expense.  For that purpose, he engaged a geometer, Johann Heinrich Weiss of Strasbourg.  The foundations for Meyer's map were baseline measurements by the scientist Johann Georg Tralles and landscape relief modelling by Joachim Eugen Müller, after which Weiss drew the map.

The result of this work appeared between 1796 and 1802, and included 16 sheets and an overview map. The 16 sheets measure  x , and depict Switzerland at a scale of approximately 1:120,000. Until the appearance of Dufour Map (1845-1865), the Atlas Suisse was the map series with the most accurate coverage of Switzerland.

David Maclagan

Dr David Maclagan FRSE (8 February 1785 – 6 June 1865) was a prominent Scottish doctor and military surgeon, serving in the Napoleonic Wars. He served as President of both the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. He served as Surgeon in Scotland to Queen Victoria.

Life
Maclagan was born in Edinburgh on 8 February 1785, the son of Robert MacClaggan (d.1785), surgeon, and Margaret Smeiton, his second wife. His father changed his name to Maclagan some time before David was born, to disassociate himself from various Jacobite connections. Maclagan trained as a doctor and surgeon at the University of Edinburgh, graduating with an MD in 1805. Too young to join the army as a surgeon, he travelled to London and studied and practiced at St George’s Hospital. He was admitted into the Royal College of Surgeons in 1807.

From 1808 he served as a military surgeon with the 91st Regiment of Foot, serving during the Walcheren Campaign within the Napoleonic Wars. This action saw huge injuries, and Maclagan's experience would have increased exponentially from this experience. From 1810 to 1813 he served in various military campaigns, including the attack on Badajos during the Peninsular War, the Battle of Salamanca, the Battle of Vittoria, the Battle of the Pyrenees, the Battle of Nivelle and the Battle of Nive.

On return to Britain he became a practicing surgeon in Edinburgh in 1815, partly working for the New Town Dispensary on Thistle Street, which he co-founded in that year. In 1823 he lost out to George Ballingall in the choice for the University of Edinburgh's chair in Military Surgery. He was Consultant surgeon/physician at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary from 1848 until retiral.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1828, his proposer was Sir John Robison.

He died at home, 129 George Street, in Edinburgh on 6 June 1865. He is buried in Dean Cemetery. The substantial grave lies against the north wall of the original cemetery (backing onto the northern extension). His wife and many of his children and grandchildren are buried with him.

Nyborg T.G.N.1

The Nyborg T.G.N.1 was a single-seat experimental sailplane built in the early 1930s, its unusual wing design a scaled-up version of the wings of large birds.

Design and development

The design of the Nyborg glider was strongly informed by the Danish engineer T G Nyborg's long and quantitative study of bird flight.  These considerations led to a glider with wings of high aspect ratio and high wing loading.  The T.G.N.1 had an aspect ratio of 21.8 and wing loading of 8.0 lb/ft2 (39 kg/m2), compared with 9.9 and 2.8 lb/ft2 (13.7 kg/m2) for the roughly contemporary Slingsby Falcon (Schleicher Falke).

The short-span, narrow mean chord (16 in or 406 mm) cantilever wing was built of wood like the rest of the T.G.N.1.  It had three parts, two plywood-skinned lifting sections each 15 ft (4.57 m) long joined by a 3 ft (910 mm) centre section. The single wing spar was a 4×3 in (102×76 mm) spruce beam. The wing was straight edged and tapered by sweep on the leading edge only. The trailing edges carried full-span ailerons with the inboard half-spans divided into three sections.  These inner surfaces moved through progressively smaller angles than the outer ones and could be lowered as camber changing flaps or airbrakes.

This wing was shoulder mounted to a short, stout, flat-sided fuselage.  The enclosed cockpit was over the wing with a prominent, curved fairing behind the pilot's head.  The tailplane, shaped like a bird's tail, had unusually broad chord for the period, with strong sweep on its leading edge.  Its trailing edge was placed at the end of the fuselage and carried a single-piece elevator. Several different rudder shapes were tried or considered: drawings of the early version show a triangular surface with a straight and vertical trailing edge apart from a small cut-out for elevator movement, but pre-first flight images show it with a cropped, triangular fin and tall, rectangular rudder, temporarily installed for aero-towing.  By 1938 both fin and rudder appear rectangular, with the latter taller.

Some sources refer to the T.G.N. III and the number built is not certain; either one aircraft was progressively modified, including the fin and rudder alterations noted above, or three different aircraft were built.  In an account of an attempt to fly the Nyborg in about 1948, the author reports he "saw the wings of the next model under construction. It looked as though the same fuselage, or much the same fuselage, had been used on most of his gliders, the only change being to the wings."  He also noted that the wings were built professionally.  An accompanying, undated photograph shows the glider with a further modified, rounded rudder.

Operational history

Towed trials were begun in the late Spring of 1932 but encountered lateral instability problems. An increase in rudder area was not the answer but it seems a cure was found, perhaps by completing the cockpit enclosure, as a particular flight was noted on 13 August 1932. The early tests were made from the London Gliding Club's Totternhoe field on Dunstable Downs.  By 1938 it was flying at Duxford.

Its final flights were made near Worcester, Nyborg's home town, in the late 1950s. Despite the long flying life of the T.G.N.,  no careful assessment of its performance seems to have been made to decide between the predictions made by the designer, his contemporary critics and later analysis.

The Nyborg T.G.N.III survived in store at Warwick in the early 1990s, number 25 on the British Aviation Preservation Council register.

The "Henry Paris" films were released during the Golden Age of Porn (inaugurated by the 1969 release of Andy Warhol Blue Movie) and the phenomenon of "porno chic" in the United States, in which adult erotic films were just beginning to be widely released, publicly discussed by celebrities (like Johnny Carson and Bob Hope) and taken seriously by film critics (like Roger Ebert).

According to one film reviewer, Metzger's films, including those made during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984), are noted for their "lavish design, witty screenplays, and a penchant for the unusual camera angle". Another reviewer noted that his films were "highly artistic — and often cerebral ... and often featured gorgeous cinematography". Film and audio works by Metzger have been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
