47790126 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentist%20%28Adventure%20Time%29 | Dentist (Adventure Time) | "Dentist" is the twenty-first episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was written and storyboarded by Tom Herpich and Steve Wolfhard, from an outline by Herpich, Wolfhard, Adam Muto, Kent Osborne, Jack Pendarvis, and Pendleton Ward. The episode debuted on November 28, 2014 and guest stars Lucy Lawless, Collin Dean, and Andy Daly.
The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Finn has a tooth ache, so he visits the dentist, a group of ants led by General Tarsal (voiced by Lucy Lawless), who provide dental care in exchange for a tour of duty. However, Finn soon finds himself partnered up with Tiffany (voiced by Collin Dean), who constantly tries to kill him so that he may become Jake's best friend.
Wolfhard had originally developed the premise for "Dentist" before he abandoned it. The episode idea was then substantially revised by Herpich. Upon its airing, it was seen by 1.40 million viewers, and received mixed reviews from critics. It was also the subject of a minor controversy, because one of the characters in the episode is named Lt. Gamergate (in reference to a type of ant). Some fans mistook this to be a reference to the Gamergate controversy.
Plot
After one of Finn's teeth starts to ache, he agrees to see the dentist, a group of ants led by Gen. Tarsal (voiced by Lucy Lawless). They explain that if Finn agrees to serve a brief tour of duty and fight against evil worms, they will fix his teeth. Finn agrees, and is partnered with Tiffany (voiced by Collin Dean), a former friend of Jake's. Tiffany openly plots to kill Finn so that he might usurp the title of Jake's best friend. Eventually, the worms attack, and Finn and Tiffany are forced to work together. In the resulting melee, Tiffany is apparently killed by the Queen Worm, and Finn shatters all of his teeth, but they are promptly fixed by the ants.
Production
"Dentist" was written and storyboarded by Tom Herpich and Steve Wolfhard, from a story by Kent Osborne, series creator Pendleton Ward, Jack Pendarvis, Adam Muto, Herpich, and Wolfhard. The original premise for "Dentist" had been developed solely by Wolfhard. On his blog, he noted: "This is a weird one that's been kicking around for a while! It's an idea that I initially came up with but it was a real mess. It was too complicated, it didn't have an ending, and it had a miniature Finn, and sentient mushrooms, and death, and Mr. Fox." Dissatisfied with his idea, he abandoned it, but Herpich rewrote the premise completely, and "made it work". Furthermore, Wolfhard storyboarded a scene explaining the origin for hostilities between the ants and the flies, but it was later cut from the episode; the official Adventure Time production blog later released this "deleted scene" online. The episode guest stars Lucy Lawless as General Tarsal, Andy Daly as Lt. Gamergate, and Collin Dean as Tiffany; Daly had previously voiced the King of Ooo in fifth season episode "Apple Wedding", and Dean had provided the voice of Tiffany in the episode "One Last Job".
Reception
"Dentist" debuted on November 28, 2014 on Cartoon Network. The episode was seen by 1.398 million viewers, and received a 0.3 rating in the 18–49 demographic. This means it was seen by 0.3 percent of all 18- to 49-year-olds watching television at the time of the episode's airing. The episode first saw physical release as part of the 2016 compilation DVD Card Wars.
Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club awarded the episode a "B−", calling it "disappointing" and "disjointed". He felt that the episode was "the weakest installment" of the week long Adventure Time marathon, because it was "a conceptually flimsy episode that goes off on strange tangents that never quite cohere into a substantial narrative." Despite this, he felt that the episode was still entertaining, and he praised the voice work of both Lawless and Dean. He also applauded the fight scene between Finn, Tiffany, and the worms, calling it "thrillingly choreographed". In the end, however, he noted: "In the grand scheme of season 6, 'Dentist' doesn't make much of an impression."
The episode caused a minor controversy on the Internet due to the naming of Andy Daly's character "Lt. Gamergate". Some fans interpreted this name to be a reference to the 2014 Gamergate controversy. However, Wolfhard later noted on Twitter that the name was actually a reference to a type of ant. Co-executive producer Adam Muto later reiterated this claim, noting that the episode was written six months prior to its airing, thus predating the Gamergate controversy. Carolyn Cox of The Mary Sue later commented on the issue, noting: "Considering how far in advance of their air date Adventure Time episodes are written, it's an indication of both the Internet's weariness with the movement and Gamergaters' disproportionate obsession with the cause that fans immediately assumed the episode was referencing the current climate in gaming culture."

47790164 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storks%20%28film%29 | Storks (film) | Storks is a 2016 American animated comedy film co-produced by Warner Animation Group, RatPac-Dune Entertainment and Stoller Global Solutions, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was directed by Nicholas Stoller and Doug Sweetland (in Sweetland's feature directorial debut), and written by Stoller, who also produced the film with Brad Lewis. The film stars the voices of Andy Samberg, Katie Crown, Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Ty Burrell, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele and Danny Trejo. The film follows a hotshot package delivering stork Junior (Samberg) and his female human partner Tulip (Crown), working at the distribution center of an enormous online store, Cornerstore.com, situated high in the mountains. After a boy named Nate Gardner (Anton Starkman) sends a letter to the company, the two accidentally create a female baby using the defunct baby factory the storks had formerly used in their original business of making and delivering babies. In order to protect the baby from the company's manager and ensure Junior's promotion to succeed him, the two set off on a journey to deliver the baby to the boy's family.
After Warner Animation Group was founded in January 2013, the project was announced, with Sweetland attached to direct the film, while Stoller was hired by the studio to create and write the film. It was announced in April 2015 that Stoller and Sweetland would co-direct the film, and Stoller would produce the film alongside Lewis. The main cast was announced soon after. Mychael and Jeff Danna composed the film's musical score. The animation was provided by Sony Pictures Imageworks.
Storks premiered in Los Angeles on September 17, 2016, and was theatrically released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 23, in 3D, IMAX, and conventional formats. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the animation, humor and voice acting, but criticized the story. It was also a box office success, having earned $183 million worldwide against a $70 million budget.
Plot
For generations, the storks of Stork Mountain delivered babies to families around the world, until one stork named Jasper imprinted on an infant girl and attempted to keep her for himself. Jasper accidentally dropped the infant's address beacon and it broke into small pieces, then he went into exile. Unable to deliver the orphaned girl, the storks adopted her under the name Tulip. CEO stork Hunter discontinues baby delivery in favor of package delivery with Cornerstore.com.
Eighteen years later, Tulip, now a young adult, tries to promote new ideas for Cornerstore, which backfire and cause the company to lose stocks. One day, Hunter declares her to be a severe burden and liability due to this incompetence (the charts also justify this, as every time she tries to help, their profits go down, and when they do make progress, it is when she's absent). Hunter explains to Junior, his top employee, that he's being promoted to chairman, and so he chooses him to take his place as boss, exciting Junior. He assigns him to fire Tulip so he may be promoted to boss. Junior cannot bring himself to do so and instead transfers Tulip to the mailroom.
Meanwhile, a young boy named Nate Gardner, who lives with his workaholic parents Henry and Sarah, is feeling lonely and wants a younger sibling. He sends a letter to Cornerstore and it reaches Tulip, who enters the defunct baby factory and inserts the letter into the baby-making machine, causing it to create a pink-haired infant girl. Junior injures his wing trying to shut down the machine. Afraid that Hunter will fire him, Junior agrees to accompany Tulip and secretly deliver the baby to her family using a makeshift flying craft that Tulip invented. They eventually crash, escape a pack of wolves that fall in love with the baby, and reach civilization, during which Junior and Tulip bond with the baby and name her Diamond Destiny. In the meantime, Henry and Sarah open up to Nate's desire for a younger sibling and spend time with their son by building a landing platform for the storks.
Junior and Tulip encounter Jasper, who had followed them from Stork Mountain. Jasper has nearly repaired Tulip's delivery beacon, but is missing one piece, which had been in Tulip's possession for years. Junior confesses to Tulip that he was supposed to fire her but couldn't bring himself to do it, and a saddened Tulip leaves with Jasper to meet her family while Junior continues alone to deliver Diamond Destiny. Cornerstore's pigeon employee Toady learns about Diamond Destiny and informs Hunter, who reroutes her address beacon and leads Junior into a trap. Hunter has Diamond Destiny taken away to live with penguins until she is an adult in order to silence the incident and prevent more plummeting stocks while Junior is tied up and gagged until his waiting attempt to death.
Tulip reunites with Junior from being coughed to demise and they return to Stork Mountain during the highly anticipated Storkcon event to save Diamond Destiny from the penguins. When they are cornered in the baby factory by Hunter and the other stork employees, Junior sends millions of archived letters from families into the baby-making machine, causing it to rapidly produce babies and distract the storks. Hunter seizes control of a giant crane and tries to destroy the factory, only to have Diamond Destiny make the Cornerstore building collapse off Stork Mountain, causing Hunter, who is trapped inside the crane and unsuccessfully attempts to kill Junior and Tulip, to fall to his death.
In the aftermath of Cornerstore.com's destruction, Junior rallies the storks to deliver all the babies to their families. Junior, Tulip, and Jasper deliver Diamond Destiny to the Gardners, and Junior has a vision of her future, taking her first steps, learning to ride a bike, being in a ballet, training her ninja skills, graduating and getting married. Nate is at first not happy about not getting a little brother but quickly cheers up upon seeing his new sister's ninja skills. Tulip finally meets her family, and Junior and Tulip continue working as co-bosses at Stork Mountain.

Reception
Box office
Storks grossed $72.7 million in the United States and Canada and $109.7 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $182.4 million, against a budget of $70 million.
In the United States and Canada, Storks opened alongside The Magnificent Seven and was originally projected to gross around $30 million from 3,922 theaters in its opening weekend, with some estimates reaching $36 million. The Hollywood Reporter noted that in recent decades, Warner Bros. has not been able to produce very successful and lucrative animated films except for Space Jam in 1996, The Polar Express in 2004, Happy Feet in 2006, and The Lego Movie in 2014 and that the studio is hoping Storks would duplicate that success. It grossed $435,000 from its Thursday previews and just $5.7 million on its first day, lowering weekend projections to $20 million. It ended up opening to $21.8 million, finishing second at the box office behind The Magnificent Sevens $35 million debut.
Internationally, the film opened in conjuncture with its North American debut across 34 foreign territories, including the likes of Russia, China, India, and Japan.
Critical response
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 65% based on 139 reviews and has an average rating of 6.10/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Colorful animation and a charming cast help Storks achieve a limited liftoff, but scattershot gags and a confused, hyperactively unspooled plot keep it from truly soaring." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 56 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.
Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and said: "There's a nice, snappy playfulness in the rapport between Samberg and engaging newcomer Crown. That lively, back-and-forth vibe also extends to the Aniston/Burrell and Key/Peele dynamic." Peter Hartlaub of San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "Whoever is running Warner Animation Group appears to be allowing the lunatics to run the asylum. And that is a wonderful thing." Tom Russo of The Boston Globe gave the film three stars out of four and said "Storks are known for delivering bundles that are irresistible, exhaustingly active at times, and frequently pretty darn messy. How completely appropriate, then, that Warner Bros.' 3-D animated feature Storks delivers the same."
Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a mixed review and called it "a strenuously unfunny animated comedy". Samantha Ladwig of IGN rated the film a (of 10) and said "Storks starts off well enough and delivers a few laughs, but ultimately it isn't quite sure of what it is." Jesse Hassenger of The A.V. Club noted the "filmmakers' assumption [...] that if lines are said very fast and in silly voices, they will become funny," and criticized Warner Bros. for putting out a generic animation along the same, safe lines of what "other second-tier animation houses" are producing: "The Lego Movie brought with it the hope that the studio might reclaim some of the animation territory it has long ceded to other studios. Storks, though, is just another okay cartoon."
Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal gave the film a negative review, saying "The whole movie seems to be on fast-forward, with crushingly brainless dialogue, hollow imagery and no way of slowing down the febrile action or making sense of the chaotic plot." Barbara VanDenburgh of The Arizona Republic said, "Storks is charmless with rote obligation. This is a kid's film for hire, with none of the creativity, emotion and design that elevate the genre to art, or even simply a fun time at the movies."
LGBTQ Representation
Storks was noted for its inclusion of same-gender couples. GLAAD called it "casually inclusive of same-sex couples."

It is a sequel to Sound of the Desert (2014), also based on a novel by Tong Hua. The series was produced by Yu Zheng and stars Angelababy, Du Chun, Lu Yi, Chen Xiao and Yang Rong. It aired on Hunan Television from 13 September to 23 November 2015.
The series was criticized for its poor knowledge of history and poor acting performance.
Synopsis
During the Western Han dynasty, eight-year-old, Liu FuLing, Emperor Zhao of Han meets a young girl, YunGe (daughter of Huo QuBing and Jin Yu from Ballad of the Desert), who rescued him from the dangers and cold of the desert. He tells her his name is Zhao Ling. He hears her sing a song which is the same song his mother used to sing to him and falls in love with her. They make a promise to find each other when they grow up. He gives her his hair rope locket (given by his mother, her last gift to him) and she gives him her embroidered shoe. He has to leave her. As he rides off, he tells her his actual last name is Liu & will be living in Chang'An where he will wait for her there when she grows up.
Nine years later, YunGe is now a beautiful young woman with excellent cooking skills, who cannot forget Brother Ling, the boy she rescued from the desert. Her parents are trying to marry her off to a distinguished man whom her family likes. She doesn't want to marry anyone but Brother Ling
& decides to leave home. She ventures out to Chang'An to find him. Brother Ling also has not forgotten her all these years & is now Emperor. He still has the embroidered shoe she had given him when they parted ways & has been waiting for her in Chang'An as promised.
On arriving in Chang'An, she mistakes Liu BuYi (Liu Xun) for Brother Ling (Liu FuLing) when she sees his jade pendant which Liu FuLing also has (both pendants were given to them by their father, the previous Emperor). She is heartbroken, because Liu BuYi (Liu Xun) already has someone he loves, Xu PingJun, & thinks he has forgotten about her. She tries to forget him & let go, but cannot. She becomes best friends with Xu PingJun. She helps Liu BuYi & Xu PingJun get married as she sees how much in love they are. Xu PingJun becomes pregnant with Liu BuYi's child after they are married.
Yun Ge meets a handsome, rich young man, Meng Jue on her arrival in Chang'An. She doesn't remember him. When they were young, Yun Ge and Brother Ling met him in a desert city, Wu Lei City, when they were bought there by the City Master. He told them his name was Qiu Sheng. They all find out the City Master is evil & are successful in escaping the city. After Brother Ling left, YunGe saw Meng Jue, he was injured in a fight & needed a doctor, but he doesn't have any money. Yun Ge gave him her another embroidered shoe which has precious pearls on it, so he would have money to see a doctor to treat his injuries. Meng Jue never forgot Yun Ge & is in love with her. He helps her to get a place to stay, new clothes & a job in a restaurant as a head chef. He is also an ambitious business man seeking power & influence. He knows Liu BuYi is not Brother Ling, but doesn't tell Yun Ge. Letting her believe Brother Ling doesn't remember her. Meng Jue keeps her away from the real Brother Ling, in hopes she will forget Brother Ling & fall in love with him. After Liu BuYi marries Xu PingJun, she tries to forget Brother Ling since she believes he is now married.
Yun Ge, eventually, bumps into Zhao Ling (Liu FuLing) who is looking for the Divine Dr. Mu or his female disciple, BaiHe, to cure his skin rash, but she doesn't know he is her Brother Ling. He tells her his name is Liu ChangFeng. She cures him of his skin rash. Brother Ling suspects she is Yun Ge, but isn't sure since he was led to believe her name is BaiHe. She has heard Brother Ling playing his flute with their song at the home of the Imperial Princess Uyigar, his sister, where she had been asked to cook a banquet, but Meng Jue keeps her from finding out. She later realizes, Liu ChangFeng (Liu FuLing) is actually Brother Ling, the man she has been searching for all along. By then, she had already fallen for Meng Jue.
Brother Ling keeps searching for Yun Ge & has even heard her singing their song in the imperial palace. He has an Empress, but treats her like a sister. He is willing to wait for Yun Ge for the rest of his life, but he doesn't know he has already met her. Although he suspects Bai He is Yun Ge, he has no proof.
Brother Ling finds out the BaiHe he met is actually YunGe from the restaurant owner where she used to work. He is ecstatic & immediately rushes to find her. YunGe realizes Liu ChangFeng is Brother Ling, but is ashamed to face him as she had fallen for Meng Jue who she no longer loves believing he was only using her to get the plaque representing leadership of a well known gang. Through several incidents, the lovers are finally reunited.
Later on, Yun Ge find herself embroiled in the power struggles within the imperial palace between the ministers, imperial princes, Huo Guang, Meng Jue & Liu FuLing.

47790232 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butte%20Fire | Butte Fire | The Butte Fire was a rapidly moving wildfire during the 2015 California wildfire season that started on September 9 in Amador County, California. The fire burned .
The fire started at 2:26 P.M. on Wednesday, September 9, just east of Jackson, when a tree came into contact with a power line, and quickly grew to over by that evening. By Thursday, the fire had spread into Calaveras County and more than doubled in size over . Officials stated that the fire was expanding in all directions and that efforts were being hampered by difficult topography.
Early on Friday, September 11, Cal Fire issued a mandatory evacuation for all of San Andreas, as the fire exploded again to , but at 4:30 P.M. PDT, that order was lifted. Officials from the Amador County Unified School District chose to close all schools in the district on Friday as well. Later that day, as the fire continued to grow, Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in Amador and Calaveras counties.
On September 16, the Calaveras County coroner announced that the bodies of two people had been found in the Mokelumne Hill and Mountain Ranch areas.
The total cost of fighting the Butte Fire was estimated by the National Interagency Fire Center at $74.7 million.
Wildfire victim claims
On June 22, 2017, Sacramento Judge Allen Sumner ruled that because "...the Butte Fire was caused by a public improvement as deliberately designed and constructed by Pacific Gas and Electric Company," the company is liable for all property damages caused by the fire.
On July 1, 2020, the PG&E Fire Victim Trust (FVT) was established as part of the reorganization plan of the 2019 bankruptcy of PG&E to administer the claims of the wildfire victims. Also on July 1, PG&E funded the Fire Victim Trust (FVT) with $5.4 billion in cash and 22.19% of stock in the reorganized PG&E, which covers most of the obligations of its settlement for the wildfire victims. PG&E has two more payments totaling $1.35 billion in cash, scheduled to be paid in January 2021 and January 2022, to complete its obligations to the wildfire victims.

47790325 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolb%27s%20experiential%20learning | Kolb's experiential learning | David A. Kolb published his experiential learning theory (ELT) in 1984, inspired by the work of the gestalt psychologist Kurt Lewin, as well as John Dewey and Jean Piaget. The approach works on two levels: a four-stage learning cycle and four distinct learning styles. Kolb's experiential learning theory has a holistic perspective which includes experience, perception, cognition and behaviour. It is a method where a person's skills and job requirements can be assessed in the same language that its commensurability can be measured.
The experiential learning cycle
The learning cycle has four stages: concrete learning, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation. Effective learning can be seen when the learner progresses through the cycle. The learner can enter the cycle at any stage.
The first stage is concrete learning, where the learner encounters a new experience or reinterprets an existing experience. This is followed by reflective observation, where the learner reflects on the experience on a personal basis. After this comes abstract conceptualization, where the learner forms new ideas, or modifies existing abstract ideas, based on the reflections arising from the reflective observation stage. Lastly, in the active experimentation stage the learner applies the new ideas to see if anything changes. This second experience becomes the concrete experience for the beginning of the next cycle. This process can happen over a short or long time.
Kolb's learning styles
Kolb's learning style is explained on the basis of two dimensions: they are how a person understands and processes the information. This perceived information is then classified as concrete experience or abstract conceptualization, and processed information as active experimentation or reflective observation.
Diverging:
Individuals of this kind of learning style look at things in a different perspective. They prefer watching to doing, also they have strong imagination capacity, emotional, strong in arts, prefer to work in groups, open minded to take feedback and they have broad interests in different cultures and people. The learning characteristic is of concrete experience and reflective observation.
Assimilating:
People of this kind of learning style prefer good clear information, they can logically format the given information and explore analytic models. They are more interested in concepts and abstracts than in people. Characteristics include abstract conceptualization and reflective observation.
Converging:
Converging type of learners solve problems. They apply their learning to practical issues. Also, they prefer technical tasks, and they experiment with new ideas. They tend to be unemotional. The learning characteristics are abstract conceptualization and active experimentation.
Accommodating:
Individuals with this kind of learning style prefer to do things practically. They are attracted to new challenges and solve problems intuitively. The learning characteristics are concrete experience and active experimentation.
Educational implications
The educational implications of the experiential learning theory are that ELT:
helps teachers develop more appropriate learning opportunities for target learners;
helps teachers design activities that will give opportunities to learners to learn in ways that suit the learners' learning styles; and
focuses on activities that enable learners to go through each of the four stages of the experiential learning cycle.
Criticisms
Some critics have argued that Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle is too simplistic in nature and fails to capture the importance of observation; it also only works in abstract isolation. This has led Ryder and Downs (2022) to argue for an approach that embraces change and emphasises the orientation of the observer as critical to decision-making both in education and work.

47790347 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine%20production%20in%20the%20United%20States | Bromine production in the United States |
Bromine production in the United States of 225,000 tonnes in 2013 made that country the second-largest producer of bromine, after Israel. The US supplied 29 percent of world production. Since 2007, all US bromine has been produced by two companies in southern Arkansas, which extract bromine from brine pumped from the Smackover Formation. At an advertised price of US$3.50 to US$3.90 per kg, the US 2013 US production would have a value of roughly US$800 million.
The two active bromine producers are Albemarle Corporation and Chemtura, whose bromine operations together employ 950 people. Albemarle Corporation, whose corporate headquarters is in Charlotte, North Carolina, operates two main plants at Magnolia, in Columbia County, Arkansas, and some satellite plants in Union County. In 2007, Albemarle had capacity to produce 148,000 tons of bromine per year.
Chemtura, a Philadelphia-based corporation, operates four plants through its subsidiary, Great Lakes Solutions. Three plants are in the vicinity of El Dorado, and all in Union County, Arkansas. In 2007, Chemtura had the capacity to produce 130,000 tonnes of bromine per year.
Since 1969, all US bromine has been produced from subsurface brine. Previously, bromine was also recovered from sea water, either directly or from the bittern produced during solar salt operations.
Geology
Bromine-bearing brines are associated with saline deposits. The bromine content of sea water is 60 to 70 parts per million (ppm). As sea water evaporates, a succession of minerals precipitate, concentrating the bromine. Bromide is so soluble that it does not form saline minerals. After halite (rock salt) precipitates, the remaining brine, called bittern, contains about 2,700 ppm bromine. Bromine continues to concentrate as magnesium and potassium minerals precipitate. The brine remaining after potassium mineral precipitation may contain 6,000 ppm bromine.
Underground sources of bromine-rich brines are associated with halite deposits. The process of concentrating bromine by evaporation artificially to produce sea salt replicates the natural process, and produces bromine-rich brine.
Appalachian Basin
The high-bromine brines in the Appalachian Basin are found in Silurian and Devonian rocks, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. The principal source of the brine in Ohio and West Virginia was the Pottsville Formation, also called the Big Salt Sand. In Pennsylvania, bromine brine was pumped from the Pocono Sandstone.
Michigan Basin
In 1911, the principal source of bromine brine in the Michigan Basin was reported to be the Marshall Sandstone of Mississippian age, with bromine concentrations of between 1,000 and 3,000 ppm. By the late 1900s, production had shifted to the Filer Sandstone of the Detroit River Group, of Devonian age, with bromine concentrations of about 2,600 ppm.
Smackover Formation, Arkansas
The brine from the Smackover Limestone of Jurassic age carries 5,000 to 6,000 ppm bromine. The brine is believed to have migrated into the Smackover from the underlying Louann Salt, through the intervening Norphlet Formation.
Although Smackover brine was originally produced as a byproduct of oil production, commercial bromine operations have their own high-productivity brine wells.
Searles Lake, California
Searles Lake, California is today a seasonally dry lake within a closed drainage basin, but at various times during the past three million years, when rainfall was more plentiful, Searles Lake was much larger, and was one in a chain of six lakes ultimately draining into ancient Lake Manley, now the bottom of Death Valley. The water level in Searles Lakes fell below its outlet for the last time about 11 thousand years ago, but for some of the time since, received water flowing from Owens Lake and China Lake. The result of thousands of years of evaporation are the sediments below the present lake bed, which include two salt layers, and brine with high concentrations of bromine, along with potassium, sodium and boron.
Brine associated with the Upper Salt and Lower Salt intervals contains 500 to 900 ppm bromine. Concentrations above 800 ppm were used for bromine extraction, most production being from the Upper Salt.
History
US production of bromine began on a small scale in 1846, at the salt works at Freeport, Pennsylvania. Production expanded greatly after 1867, when salt manufacturers along the Ohio River Valley of Ohio and West Virginia began recovering bromine from the bittern brine left over after salt evaporation.
Production expanded further in 1897, when Herbert Dow founded the Dow Chemical Company, and started producing bromine from the brines of the Michigan Basin, using an improved bromine extraction process that he invented, "air stripping." With his new process, Dow was able to undercut the bromine prices of German producers, who had dominated the market up until then. Bromine started Dow Chemical, but the company quickly diversified into the giant chemical manufacturer it is today. For many years the Michigan Basin was the leading producer of bromine. In 1980, five companies were operating six bromine extraction plants in Michigan. The Dow Chemical Company closed Michigan's last operating bromine plant in 2007.
Searles Lake has yielded chemicals since borate minerals were harvested from the surface of the lake bed in 1874. Mineral recovery from subsurface brine started during World War I, when two chemical plants were built to recover potash; potash was needed for explosives, and the lake was the only known potash source in the US. In the 1920s, three companies operated chemical plants on the shore of the lakebed, and learned how to commercially produce lithium, phosphate, borax, soda ash, sodium sulfate. In 1940, companies began extracting bromine from the brine.
The first bromine extraction plant in Arkansas opened in 1957. By 1969, five companies were operating plants there.
For most of the 20th century, the principal use of bromine was as the gasoline additive ethylene dibromide, which was needed in leaded gasoline to prevent lead deposits in car engines. The US EPA curtailed the use of lead additives in gasoline in 1980, and eventually banned lead additives entirely. With the elimination of leaded gasoline bromine lost its largest market. However, new uses were found, and bromine production continued to grow.
Bromine from sea water
In 1926, the solar salt operation at San Mateo, on the south end of Francisco Bay, California, began recovering bromine from the bittern left over after salt precipitation. The plant went out of business in 1930, but another salt plant opened in 1931 at nearby Fremont, and extracted bromine until 1968.
Another solar salt operation on San Diego Bay also started extracting bromine in 1926; the plant closed in 1945.
The Ethyl Corporation, the principal consumer of bromine, developed a process to extract bromine from sea water without evaporation. A joint venture between Ethyl and Dow Chemical started a direct from sea water plant at Kure Beach, North Carolina in 1933. The location at Kure Beach had no rail access, and difficult highway access, and was shut down in 1945.
Dow found a better permanent location at Freeport, Texas, where a seawater extraction plant started in 1940, and a second in 1943. The Freeport plants recovered magnesium, sodium compounds, and chlorine, in addition to the bromine. The Freeport chemical operations are still active, but they stopped extracting bromine in 1969.

47790418 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maury%20M.%20Cohen | Maury M. Cohen | Maury Cohen (ca. 1913 - March 15, 1979), also known as Maury M. Cohen, was an American film producer most active during the 1930s. He owned one of the Poverty Row studios, Invincible films, which specialized in making low-budget feature films. After leaving film in the early 1940s, Cohen founded and ran the historic dance club in Los Angeles, the Hollywood Palladium.
Career
In the early 1930s, Cohen founded Invincible Pictures, which specialized in low-budget films. His company teamed with Chesterfield Pictures, headed by George R. Batcheller, and they were often referred to as "C and I" or "Chesterfield and Invincible". The two companies shared the same personnel and equipment.
Low-budget production companies had budgets of around $10,000, and shot pictures in a matter of days, rather than weeks. They would use rented facilities, and would incorporate stock footage and musical numbers in order to lengthen their pictures. The combined company of Chesterfield-Invincible produced more than 100 features, and launched the careers of directors Richard Thorpe and Charles Lamont.
By 1933, C and I had a production and distribution deal with Universal Pictures which allowed them to use the resources of the major studio, including the studio's sets, film and recording equipment. The latter was especially important, enabling C and I to exceed the audible quality of the other independent studios. In 1936, Cohen led a contingent which negotiated a deal with Allied Pictures Corporation, whereby Allied would provide Chesterfield and Invincible with financial support allowing them to create a higher caliber of picture than then had been producing during the early 1930s. Also in 1933, Cohen was at the forefront of a movement by independent producers to change the NRA code, in order to assure the validity of theaters being able to show a second feature on a program. Cohen and Batcheller ended their deal with Universal in 1934, and entered into an agreement with Pathe, to utilize their facilities and equipment.
The double feature, which came into vogue during the Great Depression, gave thrifty moviegoers two full-length films for the price of one. The major studios resisted this policy, not wishing to let their product be sold for less than the usual price. Smaller companies like Chesterfield and Invincible catered to the "bargain night" exhibitors with lower-priced pictures, and the majors began losing business to the minors. Only then did the major studios make budget films specifically for double-feature programs; the studios established their own "B" units, and the double feature became the standard program everywhere.
Cohen announced in August 1934 that C and I would produce 18 films in the 1934-35 schedule. In early 1935 Cohen survived a health scare, when he had to undergo emergency appendectomy procedure. Rumors began circulating in May 1935 that Cohen's company, along with Batcheller's, were to merge with Republic Pictures. Cohen denied those rumors. In December 1936, it was reported that Cohen was seeking to sell Invincible and begin producing for one of the major studios. Less than two weeks later, Cohen had signed agreements with Samuel J. Briskin to leave Invincible and had signed on with RKO to produce, which led to Invincible being disbanded. The remnants of Invincible were one of a number of Poverty Row studios taken over by Herbert Yates in 1936 and merged into his newly formed Republic Pictures in an attempt to create a dominant low-budget producer with enough power to take on the major studios. His first film at his new studio was 1937's Living on Love (originally titled Love in a Basement), directed by Lew Landers. Cohen's stay at RKO was short-lived however, and after his year-long contract expired, he left RKO.
At the end of 1938, Cohen signed an agreement with Meglin Kiddies, to produce a series of films for the company. In 1939 Cohen was hired by United Artists to produce a Spanish language film, slated solely for the foreign market. The film was titled La Inmaculada, and starred Fortunio Bonanova. In 1940, Cohen was part of a government anti-trust lawsuit against the major film production companies, which claimed that independent producers were systematically excluded from producing by the majors.
In 1941, Cohen opened a dance venue in Hollywood, the Palladium, located on the site of the original Paramount Pictures. The Palladium opened on October 29, 1940, with an opening act headlined by Frank Sinatra, along with Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra. During World War II it was an extremely successful endeavor, particularly among military personnel, and it remained a popular dance spot through the 1940s and 1950s. Cohen would work on the production for one last film, 1977's Damnation Alley, on which he was the associate producer. The film stars Jan-Michael Vincent and George Peppard.
Cohen married Bonnie Jean Williams in 1950. The couple had two children, Jonathan and Richard. The couple remained married until Cohen's death on March 15, 1979.

The land strip is about 2 km in length and 156 acres in area. The population is below 500. It is connected to the main land by Sathar island bridge.
History
The mainland Sathar Island is believed to be created in mid 1800s. The original strip of land was much smaller and the main land is man-made island filled with soil.

47790427 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himeros%20%28crater%29 | Himeros (crater) | Himeros, also nicknamed The Saddle, is a large impact crater on the asteroid Eros. It is centered at roughly 21.20°N, 77.7°E, on Eros's eastern "hemisphere." The crater is named after Himeros of Greek mythology, one of seven Erotes, attendant to Eros, and the personification of the longing for love. The name Himeros was officially approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2003.
Geology and characteristics
At roughly 11 kilometers in diameter, Himeros is the largest identified feature on Eros. The crater is so large that it nearly exceeds the diameter of Eros in the north-south direction. As a result, Himeros's northern and southern rims are degraded or absent, giving the crater an elongated shape. The southwestern rim of Himeros is interrupted by Shoemaker, a smaller (~7 km) and younger impact crater. The rim of Himeros, like the rims of Eros's second- and third-largest impact craters (Shoemaker and Psyche, respectively), is very rounded and smooth. Within Himeros are several features. An extensive ridge, Rahe Dorsum, begins within the floor of Himeros before continuing over the crater rim towards Psyche. Given Rahe Dorsum's straightness, it likely represents a "plane" of strong material that was more resistant to the violent formation of Himeros, forming a ridge.
Himeros's immense size relative to Eros means that the impact event that created it likely had widespread consequences for the asteroid. In 2015, a team of astronomers led by Yasui Minami proposed that seismic waves from the Himeros impact event would have shaken the entire asteroid, with the modelled peak ground acceleration exceeding that of Eros's surface gravity up to 134 kilometers from the crater. As a result, surface material on Eros likely moved globally because of Himeros's formation. Himeros's central location on Eros means that its formation should have obliterated most craters smaller than 500 meters in diameter. Though the interior of Himeros has relatively few craters, that there are many small craters on Eros indicates that Himeros is ancient. The low crater density within Himeros is therefore likely due to the formation of Shoemaker.

47790430 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940%20New%20Zealand%20Labour%20Party%20leadership%20election | 1940 New Zealand Labour Party leadership election | The New Zealand Labour Party leadership election, 1940 was held on 4 April 1940 to choose the fourth leader of the New Zealand Labour Party. The election was won by Wellington Central MP Peter Fraser.
It followed the death of incumbent Labour leader and Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage.
Background
Despite governing with a healthy majority, Labour was facing antagonism from within its own ranks. The Labour Party had been overtly socialist at its inception, it had gradually drifted away from its earlier radicalism under Savage. Labour MP, John A. Lee, whose outlooks were a combination of socialism and social credit theory, arose as a vocal critic of the party's leadership, accusing it of acting dictatorially and of betraying the party's founding ideals.
After a long and bitter dispute, Lee was expelled from the party by Fraser, establishing the breakaway Democratic Labour Party. Only one other sitting Labour MP, Bill Barnard joined, though many others were sympathetic and gave serious consideration.
Candidates
Peter Fraser
Fraser had been an MP since 1918. He had served as Michael Joseph Savage's deputy since 1933 and by Savage's death he was effectively holding the office of Prime Minister during the former's battle with colon cancer.
Gervan McMillan
Gervan McMillan was nominated for the leadership by his close colleague and friend from Otago, Arnold Nordmeyer. He was a staunch supporter of John A. Lee in an increasingly divided caucus. McMillan was of the opinion that Labour's leadership was too conservative and cautious, especially on financial issues. Like Lee, he sponsored a greater use of credit and to further encourage local industries.
Clyde Carr
Carr had previously served as Labour's party president (1936–1937). After Labour won office in 1935, Carr was not given any ministerial portfolios. As a result, he had become somewhat of a dissident in the Labour caucus. Carr, like McMillan, was also an open sympathiser of John A. Lee's
Result
The election was conducted through a caucus vote by the then parliamentary MPs. Arnold Nordmeyer had proposed a private ballot, however the idea was rejected. Peter Fraser won, with a total of 33 votes, well over half the caucus, while McMillan gained 12 votes and Carr just 3.
Aftermath
Peter Fraser would lead Labour until he, himself died in 1950. Upon his election, Fraser had to give the party's caucus the right to elect people to Cabinet without the leaders's approval, a practice which has continued as Labour Party policy . Gervan McMillan would later resign from all his parliamentary responsibilities and did not seek re-election in 1943. Carr continued on as a Labour MP, declining to join Lee's splinter party, the Democratic Labour Party. He was later to serve as the Chairman of Committees (1947–1949) and Deputy Speaker (1946–1950) in Fraser's caucus. Bill Barnard joined (and then later resigned from) the Democratic Labour Party but remained as Speaker of the New Zealand House of Representatives until he was defeated in the 1943 general election (standing as an independent, not for the DLP).

47790457 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tan%20Kim%20Seng%20Fountain | Tan Kim Seng Fountain | The Tan Kim Seng Fountain is a fountain in Singapore that was erected in 1882 in honor of notable philanthropist Tan Kim Seng for his donations for the Singapore's first reservoir and waterworks.
History
The erection of the Tan Kim Seng Fountain by the British Colonial Government was in response to Tan's donation of $130,050 to the government for the construction of Singapore's Castle. The Tan Kim Seng Fountain was erected by the Municipal Commissioners to commemorate Tan's donation. However, his donation was squandered away by the Government Engineer, who hoped to make water run uphill through water pipes. In 1882, possibly out of shame and to mark the British colonial government's appreciation, the fountain was installed at Fullerton Square to perpetuate his name, where it would grace the busy traffic intersection for four decades.
The fountain was made by Andrew Handyside and Company from England, and officially unveiled on 19 May 1882. The fountain was moved to Battery Road in 1905 and later in 1925 to the Esplanade, while the Fullerton Building was being constructed, where it currently stands. In January 1994, it was shut down for repairs that lasted seven months. As part of this S$1.12-million restoration project, the 7m-high cast-iron fountain was also rust-proofed and a new foundation was built. On 28 December 2010, the Tan Kim Seng Fountain was gazetted as a national monument. It currently sits alongside other monuments such as the Lim Bo Seng Memorial and Cenotaph at the Esplanade Park.
Design and appearance
The Victorian-style iron fountain has three tiers and is decorated with classical figures. The exquisite fountain features four Muses – Greek goddesses of science, literature, and the arts – in its lower bowl, each bearing an object of her patronage. Calliope, the Muse of Epic Poetry, carries a writing tablet; Clio, the Muse of History, carries a scroll; Erato, the Muse of Lyric Poetry, carries a lyre; and Melpomene, the Muse of Tragedy, carries a wreath. Beneath the sculptures of the Muses are four faces of Poseidon, the God of the Sea according to Greek mythology, each spouting water. The fountain bears close resemblance to the Carriedo Fountain in Manila, which also dates from 1882, and was possibly manufactured by the same founder.

47790753 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croil%20Island | Croil Island | Croil Island is a uninhabited island on the St. Lawrence River in the Town of Louisville in St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. The island is currently occupied by the undeveloped Croil Island State Park.
History
The island was considered British territory prior to 1818, at which time ownership was officially transferred to the United States.
Croil Island is named for a Scottish family that farmed upon the island in the mid-1800s. Prior to the purchase of the island in 1835 by William Croil, the island was known as Stacey Island.
A land claim brought by the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe in the early 1980s sought to reclaim Croil Island and additional lands in northern New York. A 2013 ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York dismissed the tribe's claim to the island, but upheld some of their claims elsewhere.
Croil Island has been alternately known as Baxter Island, Grand Eddy Island, Ile au Chamailles, Stacey Island, Tsiiowenokwakarate, and Upper Sault Island. The island has historically been home to several large farms, but no concentrated settlements.
Croil Island State Park
Croil Island today hosts Croil Island State Park, an undeveloped state park maintained by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and owned by the New York Power Authority. The island is popular with outdoor enthusiasts, although problems with littering and illegal camping led to warning signs being posted on the island in 2011.

Lausche State Office Building is a 1979-erected 204-foot-tall, 15-story high-rise in downtown Cleveland on the corner of West Superior and Prospect Avenue on the city's Tower City Center complex. It sits in front of the 2002-built Carl B. Stokes United States Courthouse. The building's majority of tenants (over 1300) work for the State of Ohio. The structure cost the state US$26 million to build in 1977–1979 (about $ million now). In front of the building sits sculptor Tony Smith's Last.
The uniquely shaped structure is seven-sided, which closely resembles the dimensions of the land it is built on. No more land was allotted to the project because the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority owned the air rights. The building was designed architect Robert P. Madison.
Name
The Lausche is named after Frank Lausche, the 47th mayor of the city of Cleveland, who served from 1942 to 1945 He then became the 57th governor of the state of Ohio and served in that capacity from 1945 to 1947 and 1949 to 1957, having lost in between the 1947-1949 term. Following this he served as a United States senator from 1957 to 1969.

Early life
Frances Emma Hines was born on 26 August 1864 in Apsley, Victoria, the fourth daughter of Francis Patrick Hines and his wife Eleanor Mary Caroline (née Brewer). She attended the Fairlight Private Girls School in East St Kilda (later the Clyde School) and then trained as a nurse at the Melbourne Hospital for Sick Children.
Military service
In March 1900, Sister Hines was one of ten trained nurses who travelled on the Euryalus to South Africa with the Victorian Citizen Bushmen.
Hines was nursing at Enkeldoorn with sole responsibility for 26 patients, which damaged her own health. She died on 7 August 1900 from pneumonia aggravated by malnutrition in an army hospital in Bulawayo, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). She was buried with full military honours in Bulawayo. A marble cross was placed on her grave, funded by her fellow nurses and Victorian Citizen Bushmen. On 27 September 1901, a tablet to her memory was unveiled by Major-General Downes at Fairlight School, erected through subscriptions of her former classmates.

47791101 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgetown%20University%20School%20of%20Dentistry | Georgetown University School of Dentistry | The Georgetown University School of Dentistry was the dental school of Georgetown University, located in Washington, D.C. The school was established in 1901 as a department of the School of Medicine and became a standalone school within the university in 1956. In 1987, the school stopped accepting new students and it graduated its last class in 1990.
History
Origins
The dental program was formed in 1901, during the presidency of Jerome Daugherty, with the acquisition by Georgetown of the Washington Dental College and the Hospital of Oral Surgery on Massachusetts Avenue. The Washington Dental College was incorporated into the School of Medicine as the dental department. There were initially five faculty chairs of: techniques and orthodontia; dental histology and pathology; operative dentistry; oral surgery; and prosthetic dentistry. Dr. William N. Cogan was elected as the school's first dean. In 1920, the first X-ray machine was installed in the dental department.
The dental department was first housed at 920 H Street, Northwest, in an annex to the medical school's building. Two-thirds of the cost of this $5,000 addition was absorbed by the dental faculty while the remaining third was paid by the medical faculty. The department then moved onto the main campus with the completion of the Medical-Dental Building on Reservoir Road in 1930, facilitating growth of both the medical and dental components.
Independence
In the aftermath of the Second World War, the dental department saw rapid growth, with many veterans enrolling under the G.I. Bill.
In 1951, fifty years after the founding of Georgetown's dental program, the School of Dentistry was established as its own school within Georgetown University. A Naval Reserve Dental Unit was created to study dentistry as performed in the United States Navy, the first of its kind in the country. Through the 1960s, the School of Dentistry proactively recruited female students. Women were previously only admitted into the dental hygiene program, which trained them to become dental assistants.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the School of Dentistry operated several clinics that provided free dental care to patients. The Community Dentistry Programs sent dental students into the schools and communities of Washington, D.C. to render dental care. Students could also study abroad in Europe and Latin America to study foreign dental clinical care.
Closure
By the late 1980s, a variety of factors had forced dental schools across the United States to close, and many others were downsizing. Price Waterhouse determined that by 1992, the Georgetown University School of Dentistry would be operated an annual $3.6 million deficit. A number of causes were put forth, including: a decreased demand for dental care due to advances in technology and the widespread public adoption of fluoridation, an excess in the number of practicing dentists relative to the size of the population, the rising cost of tuition, and increasing numbers of prospective dental students seeking to attend medical school, leading to sharply declining dental school enrollment.
On March 19, 1987, the Georgetown University Board of Directors voted unanimously to cease the operation of the school. At the time, the school had 570 students enrolled. The School of Dentistry was disbanded three years later, graduating its last class in 1990. Students and faculty who were upset that the school did not consult them before making the decision to close filed a lawsuit in the District of Columbia Superior Court. The school's closure also prompted a congressional hearing.
At the time of its closure, the School of Dentistry was the second largest dental school in the United States behind the New York University College of Dentistry. It was also one of only twelve dental schools in the country not to receive federal aid, and had one of the highest costs of tuition at $15,000. In total, the school graduated approximately 4,100 alumni.

Holst is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury. To the east is another peak-ring basin, Nabokov, of similar size. Holst lies near the center of the ancient Lennon-Picasso Basin.
The plains around Holst are classified as intracrater plains which have rough topography, as opposed to smooth plains (such as Apārangi Planitia or Borealis Planitia). The intracrater plains are saturated with secondary craters.
Holst is named for the British composer Gustav Theodore Holst. Holst composed a musical suite called The Planets, including its third movement Mercury, the Winged Messenger.

Early life and education
Cascio graduated from Mira Costa High School, Manhattan Beach, California in 1983. In 1988 he graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, majoring in anthropology and history. He subsequently studied Political Science at University of California, Berkeley, graduating in 1993.
Career
Cascio was Technology Manager at Global Business Network and Director of Impacts Analysis for the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology. In 1998, he served as technical advisor for the TV movie "Martian Law."
In 2009, Cascio was listed as one of Foreign Policy Magazine's top 100 Global Thinkers. Michio Kaku has called him "a leading futurist with a long career of thoughtfully contemplating the outlines of tomorrow.". He has written articles for various publications on a variety of subjects, including the future of human evolution, education in the information age, and emergent technologies.
Cascio was made a Distinguished Fellow at the Institute for the Future in 2010, and continues to work with the organization. As of 2016 he was also a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, and a member of the Ensia Advisory Council.
Cascio was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in recognition of his life's work by the University of Advancing Technology in May 2017.
Projects
Transhuman Space
In the period 2003-4, Cascio published two volumes of background material for use in Steve Jackson Games' role playing game Transhuman Space, which is set in 2100.
Cascio's first volume, Broken Dreams, provides a political backdrop that concentrates on the less fortunate, and how they might respond to their circumstances.
The second volume, Toxic Memes, concentrates on the battle for public opinion, and the issues that might arise from a hypothetical new science of memetics: the analysis, engineering, and manipulation of ideas.
Worldchanging
In 2003, Cascio co-founded the online website Worldchanging with Alex Steffen. He contributed articles from 2003 until his departure in 2006. His range of topics covered energy, climate change, global development, open source, biotechnology, and nanotechnologies.
Cheeseburger carbon footprint
In 2006, when the concept of a carbon footprint was only just becoming an environmental talking point, Cascio decided to provide an illustrative example using a popular everyday item: the cheeseburger. Taking into account all factors that went into the manufacture and delivery of one cheeseburger, Cascio calculated that the equivalent of of CO2 was generated. Interpreting the result another way, Cascio estimated the annual emissions from cheeseburger production and distribution in the United States was comparable to that of all SUVs being driven on American roads at the time.
The report raised a lot of interest, and featured in a segment of the National Geographic documentary Six Degrees Could Change the World.
Superstruct
In 2008 Cascio collaborated with Jane McGonigal as scenario designer and administrator for Superstruct; a large scale forecasting game at the Institute for the Future that invited players to use social media to describe how they would respond to five hypothetical but plausible threats to Humanity in the year 2019. The presentation followed the structure of the ten-year forecasting reports used by the Institute of The Future. 5000 players participated over a six-week period, starting in October 2008.
Geoengineering
Cascio has been a contributor to discussions about the ethics and practicality of geoengineering since 2005. In 2009, he self-published a collection of his essays under the title Hacking the Earth. These essays stress that geoengineering strategies do not address the underlying causes of global warming, and that the consequences need to be weighed carefully. Nevertheless, Cascio argues that geoengineering will likely be considered seriously as a way of keeping increases in global temperature to a minimum as global warming worsens. In 2010, he delivered a talk at the U.S. National Academies of Sciences entitled "Hacking the Earth (without voiding the warranty)."
In 2008–09, Cascio collaborated with the Australian Broadcasting Commission as a writer and consultant to produce Bluebird AR, an interactive multimedia drama that encouraged viewers to participate, and think about issues in geoengineering. The show was broadcast from April–June 2010.
Is Google making us stupid?
Is Google Making Us Stupid? was a 2008 article by Nicholas Carr, which was later expanded on in The Shallows. Carr suggested that the ready access to knowledge provided by internet search engines was affecting people's cognition skills; encouraging them to 'skim' information at the expense of critical thinking and focused research. Based on his personal experiences, Carr even wondered if the brain was being permanently affected.
Responding in the same publication a year later, Cascio argued that human cognition has always evolved to meet environmental challenges, and that those posed by the internet are no different: the 'skimming' referred to by Carr was a form of attention deficit caused by the immaturity of filter algorithms. Cascio further argued that the problem will diminish as human needs exert evolutionary pressure of their own to cause the algorithms to improve.
The two articles have been used to promote topical debate in several places. Pew Research used them to form a tension-pair question survey that was distributed to noted academics. Most responded in detail; 76% agreeing with the proposition "Carr was wrong: Google does not make us stupid". When discussing the topic in The Googlisation of Everything, Siva Vaidhyanathan tended to side with Carr. However, he thought both arguments relied too much on determinism: Carr in thinking that an over-reliance on internet tools will inevitably cause the brain to atrophy, and Cascio in thinking that getting smarter is the necessary outcome of the evolutionary pressures he describes. John Naughton noted, in From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg, that many agreed Carr had hit on an important subject, but that his conclusions were not widely supported.
Cascio has since modified his stance, conceding that, while the internet remains good at illuminating knowledge, it is even better at manipulating emotion. "If Carr wrote his Atlantic essay now [2020] with the title ‘Is Facebook Making Us Stupid?’ it would be difficult to argue in favor of ‘No.’".
BANI
In April, 2020, Cascio published the article "Facing the Age of Chaos" on Medium (website). In it, he proposed the "BANI" framework (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) as a follow-on or replacement for the "VUCA" concept. BANI is meant to describe present-day and near-future conditions, focusing on perceived global chaos. BANI was soon in wide use by analysts and consultants, particularly in the Global South. Cascio has delivered multiple talks on BANI to audiences in Brazil, Sri Lanka, and elsewhere.

47791206 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehn%20House | Lehn House | The Lehn House (Danish: Lehns Gård) is a historic townhouse on Strandgade in the Christianshavn neighbourhood of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It is also known as the Tordenskjold House (Danish: Tordenskjolds Gård) after Peter Jansen Wessel Tordenskiold commonly referred to as Tordenskjold, who for a while lived in the building. The Danish Authors' Society is now based in the property whose meeting facilities are also rented out for events. The rooms are notable for their lavish stucco ceilings and murals.
History
Origins
The first house at the site was probably built shortly after Christianshavn was established on reclaimed land in 1617-22.
Lehn and Tordenskiold
Abraham Lehn, a wealthy merchant, shipowner and director of the Danish East India Company, constructed a new building on the site in 1703.
Abraham Lehn's son Abraham Lehn Jr. was still a child when his father died in 1709 and the house was therefore rented out, Peter Tordenskjold, a friend of his, had his first home on land since his childhood on the first floor up until his early death in 1720. It has previously been believed that he resided in the small pavilion in the courtyard but this was not the case. Lehn Jr. made the house his family home in 1721. He later spent most of his time on Lolland where he became a major landowner after acquiring four estates.
Reventlow and the Danish West India Company
In 1732, Lehn sold the house in Strandgade to Christian Ditlev Reventlow, whose son, Christian Ditlev Frederik Reventlow, a key figure in the Danish agricultural reforms of the 1770s, was born in there in 1748, From 1755, the building served as headquarters for the Danish West India Company. Reventlow's property was listed as No. 27 in the new cadastre of 1756.
Peter Fenger
In 1762, Peter Fenger purchased the property. In 1770, he established a soap manufactury in the yard. His widow Else Fenger kept the property after his death just four years later.
The property was home to 15 residents in the household at the time of the 1787 census. Else Fenger resided in the building with her eight children (aged 11 to 26), a housekeeper, a caretaker associated the adjacent Frederick's German Church, a coachman and three maids.
The property was home to 10 residents at the 1801 census. Else Fenger resided in the building with her sons Jørgen Fenger and Johannes Fenger, a housekeeper and two soap manufacturers. The staff consisted of a caretaker and three maids.
Else Fenger's property was listed as No. 55 in the new cadastre of 1806. The soap manufactury was continued by Johannes Fenger (1878-1920). He was married to a daughter of Andreas Ewald Meinert in the Behagen House.
Johannes Fenger's brother Rasmus Fenger (1761-1825) spent his last years as pastor of the Chirch of Our Saviour.
No. 55 was home to 49 residents in eight households at the 1840 census. Martha Helene Fenger (1775-1856), Rasmus Fenger's widow, resided in the building with three of their sons (aged 24 to 31), a housekeeper and a maid. One of the sons was the medical doctor and later politician .Georg Pedersen, a new soap manufacturer (grosserer), resided on the ground floor with his wife Elise Pedersen, their three children (aged one to six), his mother-in-law Oline Pedersen, his sister-in-law Laura Pedersen, soap master Frederik Pedersen, one maile servant and two maids. Caroline Hasberg, a widow employed with needlework, resided on the ground floor with her three children (aged four to seven). Maren Kirstine Meinert, a widow, resided on the first floor with her son Andreas Meinert (merchant, grosserer) and two maids. Helene Sich, another widow, was also resident on the first flor. Andreas Schusen, a master joiner, resided on the first floor with his wife Petrea Hegelund, their three children (aged two to six), three joiners and one maid. Marie Hammershaimp, a widow, resided with two sons on the first floor. Johan Enners, an instrumentmaker, resided on the first floor with his wife Marie Enners.
1850-1900
The property was home to 53 residents in 10 households at the 1855 census. N. C. Dyrlund, a wine merchant, resided on the first floor with his wife Emilie Dyrlund, their three children (aged five to nine), a lodger, a housekeeper and two maids. Dorthea Schleisner, an "institute manager" (institutbestyrerinde), resided on the ground floor with her three children (aged nine to 12) and one maid. Amalie Freund, widow of Hermann Ernst Freund, resided in a single-storey side wing with her two youngest daughters (aged 11 and 13), her son Georg Christian Freund, one lodger and one maid. I. Strünck, a customs official, resided on the first floor of another side wing with his wife Christine Strünck, their five children (aged two to 14) and one maid. Caroline Marie Hasberg, a widow employed with needlework, resided on the ground floor of the same side wing with her three children (aged 13 to 16). Helene Fick, another widow, resided in one of the side wings with the portrait painter Carl Ferdinand Pedersen (1803-1875) and the needleworker Cathrine Mørk. Karen Bressendorff, widow of a haulier, resided in the side wing with her 33-year-old son Peter Hansen Bressendorff (haulier and widower) and his four-year-old son. Carl Wilhelm Höyer, a machinist (maskinmester), resided in the side wing with his wife Juliane Marie Höyer and their four children (aged two to 11). Jens Anders Schou, a watchman, resided in the basement of the side wing with his wife Caroline Schou and their three children (aged 12 to 18).
In about 1850, the house was purchased by Peter F Heering, who already owned the Heering House close by and had acquired the quay in front of the building from Lehn in 1725.
In 1853, No. 55 was divided into No. 55 A (Strandgade 6), 55 B og 55 C
The property was home to 17 residents at the time of the 1860 census. Søren Jensen, a master cooper, resided on the ground floor with his wife Ane Madsine Jensen, their two children (aged eight and nine), one maid and three cooper's apprentices. Julius Henrick Schulz, a master blacksmith, resided in the building with his wife Amalie Josephine Schulz, their two-year-old son Alfred Johan Fdr. Schulz and two blacksmiths. Anders Frederik Schou, an "institute manager (institutbestyrer'', schoolmaster or the likes), resided in the building with his wife Martha Elisabeth Schou and two unmarried daughters (aged 33 and 40).
20th century
The property was acquired by master mason Johan Jacob Bruun in 1893. Bruun was born ii Viborg in 1851. Gis wife Ella (1859-) was from Korsør. They had the four daughters Gudrun, Britha, Ella and Alice. Bruun resided in the building until 1917.
In 1983, the Danish Authors' Society rented the ground floor of the main wing. In 1993, they acquired their premises as well as part of the basement.
Architecture
The original Baroque-style house was only two storeys high but it was extended to three storeys and adapted in the Late Neoclassical style in 1857-58. The half-timbered side wing was originally only one storey high but later extended with an extra floor.
The Danish Authors' Society's premises in the ground floor are decorated with murals from 1705 by Hendrik Krock featuring subjects from the Old Testament and mythology. The stucco ceilings also date from this time.
In the courtyard to the rear of the building is a small pavilion known as Tordenskjold's Pavilion. It dates from 1763.

47791221 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuttlers%20%28play%29 | Scuttlers (play) | Scuttlers is a stage production created by Rona Munro that depicts the 19th-century rivalry between street gangs in Manchester, England. While not strictly based on the exploits of real criminals, the drama is takes directly inspiration from the real-life criminal groups generically known as the 'scuttlers'. Set in 1895, the piece's plot follows the torn loyalties between members of the 'Bengal Street Tigers', who face a violent rivalry with the 'Prussia Street' gang as well as personal conflicts within their own group.
The play made its debut at the Royal Exchange Theatre on 5 February 2015. Wils Wilson, previously known for pieces such as Gastronauts and Praxis Makes Perfect, directed the production. The cast included performers Catriona Ennis, Chloe Harris, David Judge, Anna Krippa, and Rona Morison among others.
The production has received mixed to positive reviews from critics such as Lyn Gardner of The Guardian, who remarked that it featured "mills, thrills and soul", and Ian Shuttleworth of the Financial Times, who stated that it "fits in as many different vectors of relationship as a Shakespearean history play". Shuttleworth commented that he felt the audience does not "feel the seduction or the inevitability of the gang lifestyle", particularly its "unavoidable heavy cost". Yet he appreciated the "mechanistic, industrial power" of the stagecraft's depiction of Manchester city life.

47791236 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New%20York%20Summer%20Music%20Festival | New York Summer Music Festival | The New York Summer Music Festival (NYSMF) was a summer program for young musicians held at SUNY Oneonta that operated from 2006 to 2015. The camp offered workshops with accomplished musicians and attendees performed in dozens of free public concerts during each of the program's two-week sessions. At the end of its 2015 season, the program's Executive Director, Jungeun Kim, announced the NYSMF board's decision not to reopen the camp in 2016.
Background
The festival has provided venues for young musicians in both classical and jazz genres, which has helped to advance studies. Described by the Warwick Advertiser as one of the world's most prestigious youth music programs, it was attended by Caroline Moore, a trained vocalist in the classical and jazz genres.
Among the people involved with the festival was well-known Penn State opera singer Blythe Walker. She was the director of vocal studies for the festival. Dr. Nathan Warner who as of August 2014 is a professor of music at Lee University had spent eight years as a constructor of classical trumpet and jazz studies at the festival. Former Nashville Symphony chorus director was serving on the festivals conducting faculty in 2013. Other people who have served on the festivals faculty include New York City-based Saxophonist Roxy Coss, who by 2015 was considered a rising star, the front-woman of the Roxy Coss Quintet.

Anglican Diocese of Dornakal
After initial studies at the Dornakal Divinity School, Muthyalu was ordained in 1924 and became a Priest of the Diocese of Dornakal whose geographical precincts were wide. In 1929, Muthyalu had a short stint as Tutor at his alma mater after which he again took up the role as Priest. In 1940, Muthyalu became Honorary Canon of the Epiphany Cathedral in Dornakal a position which he held until 1945 when he was consecrated as Assistant Bishop in Dornakal.
CSI Diocese of Krishna-Godavari
When the Church of South India was formed in 1947, the Diocese of Dornakal was considerably reduced as three new diocese were erected - the Dioceses of Nandyal, Krishna-Godavari, and Rayalaseema. The Church of South India Synod consecrated Muthyalu in 1947 at St. George's Cathedral, Chennai as the first Bishop - in - Krishna Godavari. Muthyalu occupied the Cathedra in Eluru.
Death
In 1954, when Muthyalu died suddenly, the Church of South India Synod confabulated and sent A. B. Elliott of the adjoining Diocese of Dornakal to succeed Muthyalu.
Rajaiah David Paul who authored The First Decade: An Account of the Church of South India wrote the following lines about the early life of Yeddu Muthyalu,
