Tamtoc

Tamtoc, Tamtok or Tamohí (Téenek for "place of the water clouds") is an archaeological site of the Huastec culture, located in the municipality of Tamuín in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí, in what is known today as the Huasteca region. Since 2000 it has been improved and recovered by a team of professionals, with the archaeologist Estela Martínez Mora in charge of the studies at the site.

Originally it was estimated that the flowering of this site took place between AD 900 and 1100, that is, during the Mesoamerican Postclassic Period, however recent findings - particularly Monument 32 - have led archaeologists to think that the flowering could have occurred in 600 BC during the Preclassic.

With an area of about 210 hectares, Tamtoc was one of the most important Huastecan urban centers of the last pre-Hispanic period due to its dimensions and characteristics. Its development lasted a few centuries before the Spanish arrived, until its sudden abandonment in the 16th century. It is located on the northeast bank of the Tampaón River, part of the Pánuco River system.

One of the characteristics that distinguishes Tamtoc is the remarkable feminine presence. To date, 90% of the burials discovered have been women. In addition, women are depicted in most of the clay and ceramic figurines found here and are thought to have held a high rank in the social divisions of the community.

The area has been known since the late 1800s to have pre-Columbian vestiges. It was explored in the late 1930s by Joaquín Meade, and with greater intensity in the 1960s and was finally opened to the public on May 11, 2006 by the then-governor of San Luis Potosí, Marcelo de los Santos Fraga.

Geography
The ancient city of Tamtoc settled on the Tamuín plain, in the meander of the Tampaón River. The geographical environment favored the production and collection of food that ensured the subsistence of numerous settlements settled around it. The Tampaón River, an important source of food, was the axis of merchandise exchange and social interaction with other regions.

The people of Tamtoc hunted and collected various products in the nearby mountain ranges. The Sierra de Tanchipa was also a sandstone quarry that served the artists as raw material to carve sculptures of rulers, priestesses and various public stelae that showed relevant events, memory of social and symbolic order. From the Cerro del Murcielago, green stone or tinguaíta was extracted that was transformed into corporal ornaments and utilitarian objects.

The plains and mountains that make up the landscape of Tamtoc were the scene of its historical evolution, guaranteed its economic sustenance and played a relevant role in the ritual and ideological aspect; Highlights in the topographic relief were indicators of astronomical phenomena and important references that influenced the design of the city itself.

Local history
Tamtoc is considered the pre-Hispanic capital of the Huasteca for its regional, military and commercial importance. Until now, at least three periods of occupation have been identified: the oldest occurred around 600 BC, which corresponds to the time of the emergence of the city. The second occupation took place between 600 AD and 900 AD, it is distinguished by the arrival of a cultural trend without antecedents in the region that was in charge of redesigning the urban aspect of Tamtoc, strongly marking the regional leadership of the city. The last period happened between 900 and 1350 AD, it was characterized by an important population increase and an intense constructive activity that accounts for an increasingly powerful and complex society. At the end of this period, for reasons still unknown, the site lost regional hegemony and was abandoned.

Temporality
Tamtoc flourished in a very ancient time. While the Priestess was being carved, in Greece they were in the Peloponnese Wars, Rome did not exist, the Olmecs were at their peak, Egypt was in its late period, Babylon had already been abandoned and the Incas had not yet reached Peru.

Archaeological Site
More than seventy structures have been discovered at the archaeological site, which have been recorded on drawings and maps. In the perimeter open to visitors there are thirty of them. There is a central square that probably functioned as a civic or administrative center, built in the last moments of the city. The main structures with:

East Structure or El Tizate, which has an altitude of 36 m.

East Structure or Paso Bayo, has an altitude of 21 m, and is considered a religious structure.

The Corcovado, a circular structure, considered a commercial and political point.

Monument 32, also known as The Priestess.

Monument 22, is also known as "El Robernante" "Cinco Caracol" or "Tomás", is a stone that represents the lower part of a naked man with a pierced penis and protected with an ixtle cover, that is to say, it is a allusion to the creation of the man of the Fifth Sun by Quetzalcóatl.2

The sculpture of the Scarred Woman or Venus of Tamtoc, is a fragmented female sculpture dating from 600 BC. C.

East Structure
Also known as "Paso Bayo" or "Tamtoque" it has a height of 21 meters. Elevated structures, such as this one, commonly served as the basis for very important temples, from which various rituals related to the measurement of time and the movement of heavenly bodies were conducted. This structure is the second tallest on the site and marks the eastern limit of the monumental area.

Main Plaza
This group is made up of 23 architectural structures, of which 18 are around a plaza and five in the central part, all associated with administrative and religious activities.

The remaining structures have been identified as habitation bases belonging to the ruling elite, with the exception of structure AW3, which is identified as a small altar. Almost all the structures in this group have stairs that led to the upper part, where a temple or the housing complex was located.

Tamtoc Main Square in winter with Paso Bayo in the background

Structures AC1, AC2 and AW3 stand out because human burials were deposited inside them and in each of these two twin anthropomorphic stelae were found as offering.

The square has at least two construction periods, the first occurring between 600 and 900 AD. C. represented by circular structures most of these were covered by more recent structures. The buildings that can be seen today correspond to the last period between 900 and 1350 AD, when the city reached its peak.

Northeast Plaza
This group is made up of 10 mounds, nine of which surround a plaza and one is somewhat separated to the north. This set is associated with housing functions and the production of textiles.

North set
Canal del Manantial with Monument 32 (The Priestess) in the background and Structure 10 on the right

This area is made up of several structures and stands out for the discovery of different monuments such as the tombstone of the Flamingos, The Giant, the Castrillón Stela, La Venus de Tamtoc and the megalith of La Priestess (Monument 32). In this place there are springs that, through a system of old channels, distribute water to different parts of the sector, ending in the Laguna de los Patos.

Recent archaeological excavations carried out at the foot of structure C3, allowed to identify a place of production of beads for necklace and other ornaments.

Ferris Wheel
The area of La Noria is an important place in the city of Tamtoc, which has undergone constant changes due to the times that the city passed. Mainly the three main uses that it had over time can be differentiated, which were the following:

Fountain
Also known as Caja de Agua, it is part of the North Group sector and is where the ancient city of Tamtoc originated, because here the water is born and, due to its importance for life, it was considered a sacred place. The inhabitants of Tamtoc built a series of water distribution channels from the spring, from which a number of offerings have been recovered, including the monumental sculpture of The Priestess. These elements correspond to the first occupation, approximately in 600 a. C.

Work area
The Water Box was modified during the following period (600 and 900 AD), the space was desacralized and used in daily tasks represented by two ovens recovered in recent excavations, which could be used for food processing.

Cemetery
In the last period of occupation (between 900 and 1350 AD), new architectural buildings, temples, walkways and open spaces associated with religious ceremonies and sacred rituals were built in the same space as La Noria. A set of funerary tumults stands out from which around seventy human skeletons corresponding to individuals of different ages and sexes have been recovered.

The autopsies carried out on the skeletons have revealed that they suffered from severe infections, “In the bones of all individuals, noticeable deformations and traces of this type of pathology have been identified. So far, the population with these characteristics has only been located in this part of the site, "said Martínez Mora, who together with Guillermo Córdova Tello, coordinates the Archaeological Project of Origin and Development of the Urban Landscape of Tamtoc.

West Structure
It is one of the largest foundations on the site and has a front staircase. Formerly it was known as "El Tizate" because near this place, on the river bank, there is a deposit of crystallized carbonates or volcanic ash known locally as tizate, a material used in the production of ceramics. From its top, it is known that previously a temple was located, the entire environment of Tamtoc is dominated. This structure was the western marker that delimited the monumental area of the city. This basement is associated with activities related to astronomical observations for the cosmology that characterized the Huastec peoples.

Great Lagoon of the Ducks
The Great Lagoon of the Ducks, was thought at first to be a natural lagoon, but the hydrology and topography studies concluded that it was made by man. According to these investigations, it was prepared to avoid flooding by the Tampaón River.

During the recovery of the lagoon, various archaeological objects have been found that are part of offerings, which prevents working with heavy machinery to drain the lagoon, since it puts at risk the historical remains found there.

The priestess
Monument 32, better known as the Priestess, is a monumental lunar calendar, larger and older than the one known as Piedra del Sol or "Aztec Calendar". Its exact age is not yet established, but it is estimated that it was made between 1150 and 700 BC. apparently by the Olmecs, a culture that was not previously known had been established in this area at such an early time. The calendar is a monolith of polymineral sandstone, eight meters long and four meters high, with a thickness of 50 cm. and a weight greater than 30 tons. It is found in the North Set, more specifically in El Manantial de La Noria.

It was found accidentally in February 2005 while working on the restoration of the hydraulic channel that already during a time before the Spaniards led water from a spring to an artificial lagoon created within the city and it was until November 2006 when it was achieved.

Monument 32, The Ruler or Thomas

Because the weather and excess humidity caused by the rain and the stagnation of the spring water had started a process of degradation in the rock of the sculpture, for this reason the area of La Noria was subjected to intense conservation work; Currently, the work is focused on the recovery of a lagoon near the Spring, in order to integrate it into the public visit, since it is part of the natural environment where La Priestess was located.

The governor
Sculpture of the Scarred Woman as it is on display at the Tamtoc site museum, is over 2500 years old.

Monument 22, El Robernante or simply Tomás, is the lower part of a male human sculpture, this monument could represent an important character, perhaps a ruler of Tamtoc called Cinco Caracol since the position of his hand seems to be designed to carry a baton and the different inscriptions on the monument. Their nudity has been interpreted as an expression of the importance that fertility had among these peoples and the cult of the phallus.

The Scarred Woman
The sculpture of the Scarred Woman or the "Venus of Tamtoc" was found in 2005 during the rescue work of "Monument 32;" which was submerged in water for more than 2,500 years. This female sculpture of more than 2,500 years old in the La Noria area, in Tamtoc, is an unprecedented discovery, since there was no record of such a well-worked and detailed sculpture in Mesoamerica of that antiquity, as well as being from the female gender, which represents a rethinking of the role that women played in the social, political and religious life of pre-Hispanic cultures. The stone work of the sculpture rivals that of Ancient Greece, and has not been seen in any other sculpture in Mesoamerica.

The sculpture with feminine features and life-size, appears decapitated and is made of basalt stone, which does not exist in the region. This was fragmented for ritual purposes, instead of sacrificing an individual it was replaced by the object, in order to promote fertility, as it was placed in a water tank, archaeologists explain.

The Venus of Tamtoc has scarifications in the form of tattoos in high relief, which are observed on the shoulders, breasts and thighs of the sculpture, which refer to the 52 years of the Mesoamerican calendar, as well as the 104-year cycles of the lunar and solar cycle. It is presumed that the sculpture is not of a goddess, but of a priestess, which indicates the importance of women as a bearer of time through menstrual periods.

Ceramics
The ceramic remains that have been found in Tamtoc speak of elaborate and decorated work. Common use vessels have been found in the houses that have been excavated, as well as offering ceramics in the Great Laguna de Los Patos, and also in funerary offerings.

The pieces found are in warehouses under the protection of the INAH, while resources are being sought for the Tamtoc Site Museum.

Sculpture
In Tamtoc, several sculpture workshops have been found in the La Noria area, among which a fragment of a stela of a zoomorphic character stands out, of which only the legs of a human being with the claws of a bird instead of feet can be seen. The sculptural fragment measures approximately one meter high by 1.5 wide and weighs 90 kilos.

The lapidary workshops add to the evidence that sculptures of the highest quality were made on the site by highly specialized artists.

Painting
Like all pre-Hispanic cities, the buildings of Tamtoc were also covered with illustrious and colorful murals and paintings. In the Northeast Plaza, remains of murals with red, orange, blue and green colors have been found in some structures.

Procession of Spirits
For the Teenek community, the Tamtoque has a particular meaning because until the 1930s, the deceased were still buried in this place. Currently, various indigenous communities in the country, mainly Teeneks, meet in Tamtoc in November to hold the event known as the "Procession of Spirits." In this event, various dances take place for two days and each group places an offering at the foot of the Tamtoque in memory of their ancestors.

Excavations
Tamtoc is still excavating and finding an endless number of artifacts that are taken to the INAH laboratories in Mexico City, its main promoter has been the Architect Guillermo Ahuja O., who made the work that grow since the beginning of the current century is done on site. The ruins of the city have been investigated, preserved and made available to the public thanks to the Trust for the Archaeological Rescue of Tamtoc, made up of the Fomento Cultural Banamex, AC, the Government of the State of San Luis Potosí and the National Institute of Anthropology and History.

Zonogon

In geometry, a zonogon is a centrally-symmetric, convex polygon. Equivalently, it is a convex polygon whose sides can be grouped into parallel pairs with equal lengths and opposite orientations.

Examples
A regular polygon is a zonogon if and only if it has an even number of sides. Thus, the square, regular hexagon, and regular octagon are all zonogons. The four-sided zonogons are the square, the rectangles, the rhombi, and the parallelograms.

Tiling and equidissection
The four-sided and six-sided zonogons are parallelogons, able to tile the plane by translated copies of themselves, and all convex parallelogons have this form.

Every $$2n$$-sided zonogon can be tiled by $$\tbinom{n}{2}$$ parallelograms. (For equilateral zonogons, a $$2n$$-sided one can be tiled by $$\tbinom{n}{2}$$ rhombi.) In this tiling, there is a parallelogram for each pair of slopes of sides in the $$2n$$-sided zonogon. At least three of the zonogon's vertices must be vertices of only one of the parallelograms in any such tiling. For instance, the regular octagon can be tiled by two squares and four 45° rhombi.

In a generalization of Monsky's theorem, proved that no zonogon has an equidissection into an odd number of equal-area triangles.

Other properties
In an $$n$$-sided zonogon, at most $$2n-3$$ pairs of vertices can be at unit distance from each other. There exist $$n$$-sided zonogons with $$2n-O(\sqrt{n})$$ unit-distance pairs.

Related shapes
Zonogons are the two-dimensional analogues of three-dimensional zonohedra and higher-dimensional zonotopes. As such, each zonogon can be generated as the Minkowski sum of a collection of line segments in the plane. If no two of the generating line segments are parallel, there will be one pair of parallel edges for each line segment. Every face of a zonohedron is a zonogon, and every zonogon is the face of at least one zonohedron, the prism over that zonogon. Additionally, every planar cross-section through the center of a centrally-symmetric polyhedron (such as a zonohedron) is a zonogon.

List of international goals scored by Alfredo Di Stéfano

 * Nominator(s): Harrias  talk 14:28, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Alfredo Di Stéfano was one of the best footballers of all-time, and something of a rarity for playing for two international teams. Although he was highly successful at domestic level in Argentina, Colombia and Spain, he never quite reached the same peaks internationally. He score six goals in six games to help Argentina win the 1947 South American Championship, but that was the sum total of his international success. He never played in a World Cup or European Championship, and didn't really see eye-to-eye with his national team coach either. This list is modelled on those that have gone before, although I've had to improvise for how to include his two playing nations. I opted for one table including all his goals, rather than splitting it into two tables, but let me know what you think. As always, all input welcome. Harrias talk 14:28, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments
 * Link friendly to Exhibition match.
 * Linked in the prose, not sure if it is needed on every occasion in the table too, what do you reckon? Harrias  talk 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking at similar lists, Zlatan Ibrahimovic for example, these tend to link all uses in the table. I don't think I'd argue for or against either way really, unless someone points out a compelling reason. Kosack (talk) 17:56, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Linked it throughout the table for consistency. Harrias  talk 18:55, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "Brian Glanville suggested that was unable to dictate play", something missing from here.
 * Added the missing word. Harrias  talk 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Two very minor points I noticed on a quick run through. Kosack (talk) 15:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Cheers . Query above. Harrias  talk 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Happy to support following the issues addressed her and in Chris' comments. Kosack (talk) 08:17, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

The opening sentence is incorrect, as he actually played for three national teams - he also played for Colombia. He didn't score any goals for Colombia, but it probably still needs to be mentioned...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Drive-by comment
 * I disagree, . The opening sentence is 100% correct: it omits Colombia because the matches he played for them were unsanctioned. The lead makes passing reference to it for completeness, but it is not significant enough to be included in the opening sentence. Harrias  talk 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I didn't realise that his matches for Colombia are not recognised as official internationals -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:06, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

 * More comments
 * "He was twice named the Ballon d'Or winner" - I think "He was twice awarded the Ballon d'Or" would work better personally
 * Agreed, changed. Harrias  talk 16:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Note a "The South American Championship was the predecessor to the Copa América." seems odd placed after "Di Stéfano made his international debut for Argentina in December 1947" given that the sentence makes no mention of the South American Championship
 * Oops, moved things around, and forgot to move the footnote. Sorted now. Harrias  talk 16:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:22, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Toes (DaBaby song)

"Toes" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper DaBaby, released on September 27, 2019 from his second studio album Kirk. It features American rappers Lil Baby and Moneybagg Yo. The song was produced by Kenny Beats and Queen Sixties.

Composition
The production of the song contains a whistling loop, alongside bass and percussions. DaBaby, Lil Baby and Moneybagg Yo perform the first, second and third verses respectively. David Crone of AllMusic described the song as Wild West-inspired trap.

Critical reception
In a review of Kirk, Crone stated "Of course, a DaBaby release comes with a certain set of lyrical staples: charismatic boasts come with reassuring regularity, and there are enough 'jit's and 'ain't no cap in my rap's to bring the record back home. Given the right production, Baby's charisma can carry them forward, with 'Toes' and 'There He Go' landing firmly in the upper ranks of his catalog." Will Schube of Complex wrote, "'Toes' works, mostly because of the whistle-led Kenny Beats production and the surprising chemistry between Moneybagg Yo and Lil Baby."

That Thing Called Tadhana

That Thing Called Tadhana (International title: That Thing Called Destiny) is a 2014 Filipino romantic comedy film directed by Antoinette Jadaone who had already worked with Panganiban in the 2014 comedy film, Beauty in a Bottle. It follows Mace (Angelica Panganiban) and Anthony (JM de Guzman), who meet at an airport in Rome and decide to travel together upon arriving in the Philippines. As Mace tries to move on from a failed relationship, and Anthony deals with his own disappointments, they develop a deepening kinship.

Rome
The film starts at an airport in Rome where Mace, on her way back to the Philippines, despairs over which of her personal items to keep so she does not exceed the load requirements. As she bemoans her fate and cries over her dilemma, Anthony shows up and offers to carry her extra baggage for her through his unused extra baggage allowance. Mace later reveals that her whole life is in her luggage.

On the plane, Mace watches and emotionally connects with the protagonists of the film One More Chance but vehemently declines the pack of tissues offered to her.

Manila
Upon arrival at NAIA, they go to a Japanese restaurant after Mace expresses her reluctance to go straight home. Anthony shares his reasons for being in Rome but finds that Mace does not share the amazement. Their small talk is cut short when a fellow patron, who has nonchalantly been ignoring an incoming call, irritates Mace. Much later, Mace questions the merit of leaving the future of one's relationship to the winds of fate, or what destiny has to dictate, and declares that it did not sit well with her because she would have done something about it. She then begins to talk about her relationship that just recently ended. An eight-year-long relationship that was broken in just seven words. They later on end up in a karaoke bar where they sing "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" together. In a drunken stupor, Mace tells Anthony that she wants to go to Baguio.

On the bus to Baguio, Mace associates a film being shown to a memory she has with her ex-boyfriend. Then at a stopover, after she does the same to everything that Anthony comes up with, she strikes up a deal with him as a means of conditioning herself against the habit. Still, Mace cannot help but ask "- how does one forget?" and "- how long does one take to do it?". Anthony points out that "- what's important is to forget" - how and how long was "- up to her".

Baguio
In Baguio, Mace makes up her mind about what to do next, declines Anthony's offer to help and lugs her baggage around on her own - something that, although slow, is still manageable. At an art exhibit, Mace discovers Anthony's unfulfilled passion for painting overshadowed by a life driven by requirements and deadlines. So, over lunch, she asks Anthony to illustrate a short story she has written in college entitled "The Arrow with a Heart Pierced Through Him". Later that night, Mace awakens from a dream involving her ex-boyfriend. Anthony reveals that his dream has been of the two of them just walking along Session Road.

Inside a café in Session Road, Mace talks about how she waited eight years for a question that never came. Anthony admits to having been unprepared and shares the loss and pain that he has suffered thereafter along with all other sorts of questions that has gone unanswered. Mace then quotes F. Scott Fitzgerald back to him.

Outside the café, Anthony reassures her that she is not ugly at all, tells her that she will recover because it is impossible for an overwhelming love like hers to be wasted or go unreciprocated and quotes Popoy's line from One More Chance. He also reveals to her what he has done in order to forget and move on from his ex-girlfriend who has long since moved on and forgotten about him.

Sagada
Upon arriving in Sagada, Mace realizes that their belongings have been left behind. While a frantic Anthony tries to negotiate a way to go back, Mace tells him that the baggage does not matter anymore in her present life. As they await for the jeepney bound for Mount Kiltepan, in the freezing cold, Anthony gallantly drapes his sweater across her shoulders and for the first time spend a few minutes together in thoughtful silence.

They arrive at the camp late in the evening, lie down next to the fire beneath the open sky and talk about what they will wish for if a shooting star was to appear. They drift off to sleep, content with the idea that their wishes will surely be granted. The next day dawns and they run together to a place at the edge of the mountain and a sea of clouds. There, Mace unloads herself of everything, screams all of her anger, all of her pain and of everything she has been unable say to her ex-boyfriend.

Epilogue
Mace asks about what they did upon reaching the far end of Session Road in his dream. Anthony reveals that he woke up before he got to that part but tells her that if he were to add something to it, it would be that she turns to him slowly to say she will forget her ex-boyfriend.

After a brief moment of silence, Mace replies and says "I will forget him."

Anthony walks Mace home when they find her ex Marco waiting for Mace with a bouquet of flowers asking for another chance. Anthony and Mace are shocked. Anthony leaves to give them some time to talk.

On his way home Anthony is shocked with the events of the past few days but manages to smile.

Mace’s short story plays. The Arrow feels heavier than usual even after losing The Heart pierced through him. The Arrow keeps on going until he meets The Heart again.

The story resumes, showing Anthony driving through Manila, thinking about what Mace said about leaving your fate to the wind. He says to himself that if you really love someone, you should go for it and not wait for the wind to blow her back to you and that you should pull so hard and not let go as long as you can.

Some time later, Anthony decides to illustrate Mace's story and prepares to deliver it to her.

Cast

 * Angelica Panganiban as Mace Castillo, who has been to Rome to surprise her boyfriend only to find out that he already has someone else. She then undergoes a self-imposed catharsis with Anthony's help and travels with him to Baguio and Sagada to find out the answer to "where do broken hearts go?".
 * JM de Guzman as Anthony Lagdameo, a fellow passenger who offers Mace a solution to her problem on excess baggage. He is able to establish trust, then a connection and eventually travels with Mace as she tries to get over the abrupt end of an eight-year relationship.
 * Joem Bascon as Marco, Mace's boyfriend of eight years who extends his stay in Italy for his job and enters into a relationship with someone else. Mace claims that he looks like John Lloyd Cruz and can associate many things with him.

Production
Director Antoinette Jadaone considers That Thing Called Tadhana as her "dream project" and described it as "more than 10 years’ worth of love stories, heartaches, heartbreaks, bitterness and acceptance". The lead protagonist, Mace was first drafted during 2014 while Jadaone was filming for Relaks, It's Just Pagibig, the character had a cameo appearance in the said film but was played by Alessandra De Rossi as opposed to Panganiban. During the post production of the film, the publishers of Whitney Houston's "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" charged the production crew ₱220,000 to use the song, but by this point the ₱2 million budget they had been awarded by the film festival had been used up. Eventually, the crew asked their friends to contribute ₱500 each in exchange of being mentioned in the ending credits of the film, showing the passion behind-the-scenes.

Release
That Thing Called Tadhana was met with both commercial and critical success and was praised as one of the highest grossing Filipino independent film of all time, breaching ₱134 million gross revenue in under 3 weeks, despite facing piracy issues online during its run. It was graded "A" by the Cinema Evaluation Board and given a PG rating by the MTRCB.

Critical response
ClickTheCity.com's Philbert Ortiz Dy praised the film by giving a 5 stars out of 5 rating. He writes:

"That Thing Called Tadhana strips romance down to its core. Our movies have become needlessly complicated. They are stories about people from different worlds, overcoming incredible odds to end up kissing each other in the end. This movie, on the other hand, is just about two people spending time with each other, slowly falling in love. It is about just needing someone to be there when you can’t bring yourself to finish the song you’re singing at karaoke. It’s about the simple, beautiful feeling of having somebody to keep the song going."

Oggs Cruz of Rappler writes in a positive review: "Antoinette Jadaone’s That Thing Called Tadhana relishes the simplicity of its premise. It never strays towards the unlikely situations that most romantic comedies rely on for pageantry. The film keeps its feet firmly grounded within the realm of reality.

With convincing performances from Angelica Panganiban and JM de Guzman, the film effortlessly evokes both the palpable pain of losing love and the alluring pleasure of gaining it back."

Sequel
According to actor JM de Guzman who played Anthony Lagdameo in the film, the director is already writing the script for the sequel. This was also confirmed by Panganiban that the film is currently in-development.

The director of the film (Jadaone) will return as the writer and director, stating that she would agree to work on a sequel, but “in the right conditions.”

Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha

The Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha is an Android-based smartphone designed by Xiaomi. Xiaomi describes it as a concept phone, but planned on bringing it into small-scale production. It was scheduled to be released in December 2019, but has been cancelled due to manufacturing complexities.

Design
A 7.92-inch (201.2mm) big screen 2088 × 2250 Super AMOLED display is used which wraps around the edges and nearly spans the entire width of both sides. There are virtual volume buttons in place of physical ones, although there is a physical power button on the top. Navigation buttons and the status bar are also located on the edges of the device. A sapphire vertical strip is placed on the rear which houses the cameras, flash and connectivity antennas. The frame is a titanium alloy, while the display is a 3-section glass laminate.

Hardware
The Mi Mix Alpha is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ CPU and the Adreno 640 GPU, sharing its chipset with the Mi 9 Pro. It has a single configuration of 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512 GB of non-expandable UFS 3.0 storage. A USB-C port is located on the bottom which is capable of recharging the 4050mAh battery at up to 40W. An optical in-display fingerprint is used, and facial recognition is also supported.

Camera
A triple camera setup is used, consisting of a wide lens, a telephoto lens and an ultrawide lens like most flagships, while lacking a front-facing camera, however, the rear-facing cameras serve this purpose. Notably, it is the first smartphone with a 108 MP sensor. The other two lenses use 12 MP and 20 MP sensors respectively. None of the lenses have OIS, but HDR is supported. Along with normal recording modes, the device is capable of recording 8K video at 30 fps, 4K video at 60 fps and 30 fps, and 1080p slow-motion video at 480 and 960 fps.

Software
The Mi Mix Alpha runs on MIUI 11, which is based on Android 10.

Back to Gambas

If you want to produce some graphics in gambas you should get used to the drawingarea control.

Draw a Line
This little program will draw a line. You have to start a new graphics project. You take a form as your start form. You need a drawingarea and a commandbutton on the form to get it going.

When you want to draw some more lines, then try this example:

Some other lines are drawn here:

When you want to manipulate the width of your line, then try this example:

If you want to change the color of your line to white, then try this example:

The next small example will draw a box and fill it with white color.

The Spiral Program
This program shows you a nice spiral. There is no scale command in Gambas (at least, not yet). Therefore the x and y coordinates are transformed in the program. The coordinate system ranges from xmin = - 2 to xmax = 2 and ymin = - 2 to ymax = 2.

You need a Drawingarea and a Commandbutton to get the example going.

According to this page: http://www.thejapanesepage.com/hka.htm the stroke order for the 'ka' is different...

I learned in elementary school: curve-line → slash → spot, and I think you can write better in this way. But the stroke order is not so important...(if you can write well, that's ok) --Brevam 03:41, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I learned sweeping curve, vertical line, dot. Also, GO is next to KO, as well as in the alternate section near GE, etc. I think the one near KO is unneeded and identical.

Mneumonic for Ko
It seems a little more complicated than it needs to be. Why not leave out the "far away, closer to you" stuff? That's not relevant for remembering the two lines being start and finish lines and "Go!" I'm going to edit it to make it simpler, but if there's some reason for the additional complexity feel free to revert. --Anonymous 2008/01/08

 * Nevermind. I see that it was all because of the "tail" on the top line; but it's a very confusing mneumonic. It should probably be rewritten. In any case, I'm just going to ignore all that stuff and just remember "Go!"

Portia Dery

Portia Dery is a writer from Ghana who is best known for her children's stories but she also writes short stories and poetry. Her works have been published in various magazines, anthologies and platforms, including the UK poetry library, Arts Beat, Africa's first anthology, and the Ayiba magazine.

In 2016, Portia Dery received a fellowship from the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders Initiative and, among other things, developed The Funky Read Write Clinic, a programme for promoting children's reading and writing skills. Since 2013, she has been active in the field of children's literacy, founding the African Youth Writers Organization (AYWO) initiative. At that time, she worked in a rural area of Ghana for the Department of Community Development and Social Welfare covering gender equality, economic fundamentals, literacy and health. Dery was among the runners for the 2016 Queen's Young Leaders Award.

The author won the Children's Africana Book Award for her book, Grandma's List 2018, which honours five children's and teen books on Africa each year. She shares the award with the book's South African illustrator, Toby Newsome. The book tells the story of an eight-year-old girl, Fatima, who wants to help her grandmother. She receives from the grandmother a list of errands, but on losing the list, she tries to remember what was on it. The resulting story was praised as equally funny as heart-warming. The book was published in 2016 by African Bureau Stories. As early as 2014, the manuscript won the Golden Baobab Prize awarded as Best Picture Book manuscript.

Dery is originally from the Upper West Region of Ghana but now lives in Tamale.

Kevin Sweeney (American football)

Kevin Joseph Sweeney (born November 16, 1963) is an American former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the Fresno State Bulldogs.

Early years
Sweeney attended Bullard High School, where he was a standout quarterback. As a senior, he broke Pat Haden's state record for touchdown passes in a season with 35 and received Northern California offensive player of the year honors.

His older brother Jim was recruiting him for the University of Washington, while his father Jim Sweeney was doing the same for Fresno State University.

College career
Sweeney accepted a scholarship from Fresno State University to be coached by his father and replace at quarterback the graduated Jeff Tedford. He worked with Steve DeBerg, whom he credited with helping him most with his throwing motion.

He was a four-year starter, played in 46 contests and missed only one half of a game in his career, even playing as a senior with a left dislocated shoulder that required surgery at the end of the season.

As a sophomore, he passed for 3,259 yards and 20 touchdowns, leading the nation's highest scoring offense (39.1 points per game). The next year, he threw for 2,604 yards and 14 touchdowns, while helping his team finish as the only Division I unbeaten school (11-0-1). He also had a career long 95-yard touchdown pass against Oregon State University.

As a senior, he had the lowest interception percentage (2.37) among the top 25 rated passers and set a conference mark with a career-high 4 touchdown passes against New Mexico State University. He became the NCAA most prolific passer after breaking Doug Flutie's record for passing yards in a career (10,623 yards). He shared the NCAA mark for most games of 200 or more passing yards (31), had the conference's career records for touchdowns (66) and completions (781).

College statistics

 * 1983: 166/334 for 2,359 yards with 16 TD vs 19 INT
 * 1984: 227/421 for 3,259 yards with 20 TD vs 13 INT
 * 1985: 177/295 for 2,604 yards with 14 TD vs 7 INT
 * 1986: 160/284 for 2,363 yards with 15 TD vs 9 INT

In 2000, the school retired his number 9 jersey. In 2002, he was inducted into the Fresno Athletic Hall of Fame.

Dallas Cowboys
Sweeney was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round (180th overall) of the 1987 NFL Draft, after dropping because of his height. It was also a type of homecoming, as he was a ballboy at the Cowboys' Thousand Oaks training camp growing up. He couldn't pass Paul McDonald on the depth chart and was waived on September 7.

After the players went on a strike on the third week of the 1987 season, those games were canceled (reducing the 16 game season to 15) and the NFL decided that the games would be played with replacement players. In September, he was re-signed to be a part of the Dallas Cowboys replacement team, that was given the mock name "Rhinestone Cowboys" by the media. In his first game against the New York Jets, he became the third ever rookie quarterback to start for the Cowboys, following Don Meredith (1960) and Roger Staubach (1969). In the second game against the Philadelphia Eagles, he only played in the first half, giving way to Danny White and Loren Snyder in the second half of a 41-22 win. His 77-yard touchdown pass to Cornell Burbage against the Eagles was the team's longest completion of the season. When White took over the team for the third replacement game against the Washington Redskins, the crowd started chanting "We Want Sweeney, We Want Sweeney" when the team didn't perform well in the eventual 13-7 loss. He was a very popular player with the fans during those games; accounting for 291 passing yards, 4 touchdown passes, 20.8 yards per completion, one interception, 2 wins and a 109.3 rating in passing efficiency (led all replacement players). He was kept on the roster for the rest of the year.

In 1988, he was the third-string quarterback behind White and Steve Pelluer. On November 6, he started the second half and passed for three touchdowns against the New York Giants. The next game, he was given the opportunity to start against the Minnesota Vikings, but lost 43-3 after completing just 10 of 28 passes for 93 yards, with 2 interceptions and 2 fumbles.

In 1989, with the arrival of new head coach Jimmy Johnson and with the team also intending to draft a quarterback, he was left unprotected in Plan B free agency.

San Francisco 49ers
On March 27, 1989, Sweeney signed with the San Francisco 49ers as a Plan B free agent. He was released before the start of the season on August 26.

Montreal Machine (WLAF)
In 1991, he signed with the Montreal Machine of the World League of American Football, where he was named the starter at quarterback, before being passed on the depth chart by Michael Proctor. He played in 10 games, making 24 completions out of 69 attempts for 219 yards, one touchdown and 3 interceptions.

Personal life
Sweeney is a senior vice president at Wells Fargo Bank.

Tottori Sand Dunes

The Tottori Sand Dunes (鳥取砂丘) are sand dunes located outside the city center of Tottori in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. At a length of 9 mile and less than 1.5 mile wide, it is the largest sand dune in Japan. The sand dunes are part of San'in Kaigan Geopark, which is part of The UNESCO Global Geoparks.

History
The sand formations were created when sediment deposits carried from the Chūgoku Mountains by the Sendai River were thrown away into the Sea of Japan. Strong winds then shaped the dunes over a span of 100,000 years.

The area of the dunes has been steadily decreasing due to a government reforestation program following World War II. Concrete barriers have been built along the coast to prevent the formations from eroding. Authorities have adopted measures to stop the shrinkage of the dunes, partly because they attract a significant amount of tourism to the area.

Town and Country Planning Act 1990

The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c 8) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom regulating the development of land in England and Wales. It is a central part of English land law in that it concerns town and country planning in the United Kingdom. Repealed in parts by the Planning and Compensation Act 1991, it is now also complemented by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

Contents
In the United Kingdom, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 contains 15 parts with 337 sections, plus 17 schedules, and serves as an incomplete, but expansive code of planning regulations in England and Wales.

Part I, planning authorities
Subsections 1 and 2 set out that county and district (county and county borough in Wales) councils are Local Planning Authorities ('LPA's) in non-metropolitan counties; that metropolitan district councils (usually unitary authorities) are LPAs in metropolitan counties and that different authorities govern Greater London and the Isles of Scilly. This is subject to sections 2 and 9. Subsection 1(3) states: "In England (exclusive of the metropolitan counties, Greater London and the Isles of Scilly) all functions conferred on local planning authorities by or under the planning Acts shall be exercisable both by county planning authorities and district planning authorities." and is subject to Sch. 1. Subsection 1 (4) deals with mineral planning authorities. The exercise of functions in Wales is subject to Schedule 1A. This section is subject to sections 4A to 8.

Section 2 allows the Secretary of State to join council planning authorities into joint planning boards.

Under section 2A the Mayor of London may in circumstances prescribed in the Town and Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008/580 or directions under that order, direct that he is to be the local planning authority to determine an application made under s 70 or s 73. Under section 2B the Mayor of London is to have regard to guidance issued by the Secretary of State, must give reasons, and must at that time send a copy of the direction to the applicant and the Secretary of State. The Mayor may also become the planning authority for a connected application for Listed Building, Conservation Area, or hazardous substances consent if he so considers. Under section 2C the Mayor of London after granting outline permission, may pass the determination of reserved matters on to the original LPA (i.e. London Borough or Corporation of London). He may also do this for connected applications he grants 'subject to subsequent approval'. Section 2D enables secondary legislation related to the Mayor's planning powers. Section 2E passes the function from the LPA to the Mayor of agreeing on a Planning Obligation related to the direction above after that time. The Mayor must consult the LPA before agreeing to one and both the LPA and Mayor may enforce it. Section 2F states that before determining an application, the Mayor of London must give the applicant and the local planning authority to whom the application was made an opportunity, with at least 14 days' notice, to make oral representations at a hearing (“a representation hearing”). The Mayor must publish a procedural document for this.

Section 3 retains the advisory joint planning committee for Greater London.

Section 4A says that National Park Authorities (not all National Parks) are the sole local planning authority for the area of the Park except for functions in ss 198 to 201, 206 to 209, and 211 to 215 where the district planning authority for an area in the park shall share functions with the national park authority, who in such cases retain all their legal functions. Section 5 makes a similar provision as 4A for the Broads Authority for land in that area. However, only for Chapter I of Part VIII (Trees: Ss 197-214D) and sections 249, 250, and 300. Section 6 makes a similar provision as 4A for Enterprise Zone Authorities for land in that area for such functions as a statutory Order may prescribe. Sections 7 to 8A make similar provisions as 4A for Urban Development Corporations under the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980, Housing Action Trusts under Housing Act 1988 and the Urban Regeneration Agency under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 for their respective areas to the extent an appropriate order directs.

Section 9 creates the power to make consequential and supplementary provisions about authorities for land in that area for such functions as a statutory order may prescribe.

Part II is now repealed and replaced by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. It used to concern larger scale Development Plans, particularly Unitary Development Plans in metropolitan areas including London, and, for non-metropolitan areas, Structure Plans and Local Plans.

Part III, Control Over Development
Part III's concern with control over development focuses on effectively putting into public ownership, under democratically accountable regulation, all significant construction or demolition decisions by private landowners. This was seen necessary to ensure that private development did not run contrary to the community's interest. Section 59 states that "The Secretary of State shall by ... “development order”... provide for the granting of planning permission." An initial application maybe for Outline Planning Permission as this allows the applicant to see whether an application is likely to be accepted before carrying out the costly work of preparing a full application. This will mean that there are other "reserved matters" to be resolved through one or more further applications.

Section 73 allows applicants to request the variation or removal of conditions on a previous permission.

Section 78 allows applicants to appeal against decisions on applications, or the non-determination of applications.

Section 106
Section 106 of the Act, in conjunction with DoE Circular 5/05, allows for local planning authorities and persons interested in land to agree contributions, arrangements and restrictions as Planning Agreements or Planning Obligations. Applicants can offer such agreements unilaterally or negotiate and agree them as support for their application to make it accord with local planning requirements, but without some of the rigorous controls of Planning Conditions under s 70(1).

It relates to money paid by developers to local planning authorities in order to offset the costs of the external effects of development. For example, if a developer were to build 100 new houses, there would be effects on local schools, roads etc., which the local authority would have to deal with. In that situation, there might be a Section 106 agreement as part of the granting of planning permission. The agreement might also entail provisions about production of social housing. The developer might agree to make a contribution towards the provision of new schools or traffic calming on local roads.

Section 106A has the effect that any modification or discharge of a s 106 Agreement must be agreed by deed between the parties and in accordance with s 106B. It creates the right to apply in a prescribed form to modify a s 106 agreement once five years has passed since the agreement, or such shorter period as secondary legislation may prescribe. It prevents one applicant applying for a modification which may become enforceable against others who have not applied.

It clarifies that s 84 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (power to discharge or modify restrictive covenants affecting land) does not apply to a planning obligation.

Section 106B contains the right of the applicant to appeal against the decision or non-determination of a local planning authority under s 106A to the Secretary of State. Section 106B states "before determining the appeal the Secretary of State shall, if either the applicant or the authority so wish, give each of them an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose". It states "the determination of an appeal by the Secretary of State under this section shall be final". Schedule 6 applies to determine how the appeal is heard and by whom.

Parts IV and V, Compensation
Sections 107 to 118 deal with compensation for effects of certain orders, notices etc. The Planning and Compensation Act 1991 repealed sections 113 and 114, and all of Part V, in sections 119 to 136. It previously dealt with compensation for restrictions on new developments in limited cases.

Part VI, right to be purchased
Sections 137 to 171 deal with rights of the owner to require purchase of interests. Namely, interests affected by planning decisions or orders in certain circumstances and interests affected by planning proposals: serving blight notices.

Part VII, enforcement
Sections 172 to 196C deal with methods of enforcement of planning law.

Part VIII, trees, amenity, adverts
Sections 197 to 225 deal with Special Controls. Specifically, those for:
 * Trees
 * Land adversely affecting amenity of neighbourhood
 * Advertisements

Section 215 of the Act empowers a local planning authority to issue a notice to the owner of land or a property where it adversely affects the local area, and the notice can specify what remedial action is required. Sub-section 1 states, "If it appears to the local planning authority that the amenity of a part of their area, or of an adjoining area, is adversely affected by the condition of land in their area, they may serve on the owner and occupier of the land a notice under this section." It was under this provision that a notice was served in 2015 by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring, after the property developer had painted the front of her house in red-and-white candy cane stripes. However, following judicial review by the High Court of Justice, Mr Justice Gilbart ruled, "In my judgment, to allow a local planning authority (LPA) to use section 215 to deal with questions of aesthetics, as opposed to disrepair or dilapidation, falls outside the intention and spirit of the Planning Code..." Thus overturning the notice, and allowing Lisle-Mainwaring to keep the stripes on her house.

Part IX, acquisition of land for planning
Sections 226 to 246 deal with acquisition and appropriation of land for planning and public purposes. Also the extinguishment of certain rights, e.g. on burial places and constitution of joint bodies to hold land for planning purposes.

Part X, highways
Sections 246 to 261 deal with highways.

Sections 247 and 248 deal with the stopping up of highways.

Part XI, statutory undertakings
Sections 262 to 283 deal with statutory undertakers. These are persons authorised by any enactment to carry on any railway, light railway, tramway, road transport, water transport, canal, inland navigation, dock, harbour, pier or lighthouse undertaking or any undertaking for the supply of hydraulic power and a relevant airport operator (within the meaning of Part V of the Airports Act 1986). Deemed statutory undertakers for sections 55, 90, 101, 108(3), 139 to 141, 143, 148, 170(12)(b), 236(2)(a), 237 to 241, 245, 247(4)(b), 253, 257(2), 263(1) and (2), 264, 266 to 283, 288(10)(a), 306, 325(9), 336(2) and (3), para.18 of Sch.1 and Schs. 8, 13 and 14 are any public gas transporter, water or sewerage undertaker, the National Rivers Authority, any universal postal service provider in connection with the provision of a universal postal service, the Civil Aviation Authority and a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (air traffic services) shall be deemed to be statutory undertakers and their undertakings statutory undertakings. This applies with variations for a universal postal service provider and licence holders under section 6 of the Electricity Act 1989 or Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000.

Part XII, Validity of plans
Sections 284 to 292 deal with validity of development plans, some planning related orders, decisions, directions, enforcement and similar notices.

Part XIII, Crown lands
Sections 292A to 302 deal with the application the Act to Crown Land.

Robert C. Green

Robert C. Green is an American medical geneticist, physician, and public health researcher. He directs the Genomes2People Research Program in translational genomics and health outcomes in the Division of Genetics at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Broad Institute, and is Director of the Preventive Genomics Clinic at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Research led by Green includes clinical and research aspects of genomic and precision medicine, including the development and disclosure of Alzheimer's disease risk estimates (the REVEAL Study) and one of the first prospective studies of direct-to-consumer genetic testing services (the PGen Study). He has studied the implementation of medical sequencing in healthy adults (the MedSeq Project), newborns (the BabySeq Project), and active duty military personnel (the MilSeq Project). As of 2020, he is leading the first research collaboration to explore return of genomic results and better understand penetrance in a population-based cohort of underrepresented minorities. He has led the Preventive Genomics Clinic at Brigham and Women's Hospital since its creation in 2019.

Education
Green was born in Richmond, Virginia, and received an undergraduate degree from Amherst College in 1976, and then attended the University of Virginia School of Medicine, and earned a Masters of Public Health in Epidemiology from Emory University School of Public Health. He completed a residency in neurology at Harvard Medical School's Longwood Neurology Program, and research fellowships at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Boston Children's Hospital. Green is board-certified in neurology and medical genetics. He was previously on the faculty at Emory University School of Medicine and the Boston University School of Medicine.

Genomic Research Projects and Contributions
Green served as Principal Investigator of the Risk Evaluation and Education for Alzheimer's Disease (REVEAL) Study, which explored the behavioral, and health-related impact of disclosing genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease. The study was a series of multi-site, randomized, controlled clinical trials that provide empirical data to address ethical, social and translational issues in genetic susceptibility testing for common diseases.

Green also co-led (with J. Scott Roberts, Ph.D.) the Impact of Personal Genomics (PGen) Study, one of the first to investigate the characteristics of consumers; the behavioral and health impact; and the translational and social issues associated with personal genomic testing services. He co-led the incidental findings working group for the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and was lead author on the controversial recommendations for reporting incidental and secondary findings in clinical exome and genome sequencing. Green also contributed to the design of a variant classification pipeline, and a single page summary for reporting clinically relevant results of whole genome sequencing to physicians.

Green currently leads and co-leads the first NIH funded randomized trials of sequencing in adults (MedSeq Project), newborns (BabySeq Project), and active duty US military personnel (MilSeq Project). With continuous funding from NIH for 26 years, he has published more than 300 papers with an h index of 90.

Green co-chaired the steering committee of both the Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research program (18 NIH grants, over 300 investigators), and the steering committee of the Newborn Sequencing in Genomic Medicine and Public Health program (4 NIH grants, over 100 investigators). He is a currently a co-investigator on the Boston site within the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics Network (eMERGE). He is Associate Director for Research of Partners HealthCare Personalized Medicine, and is leading the development of protocols for return of genomic results for the All of Us (initiative) Research Program of the United States Precision Medicine Initiative and the Google/Verily Project Baseline Study.

Professional Affiliations and Awards
Green directs the Genomes2People Research Program at Brigham Health and is the founding director of the Brigham Preventive Genomics Clinic. He is Associate Director for Research of Partners HealthCare Personalized Medicine and a member of the executive committee for the Partners BioBank. He is a board member of the Council for Responsible Genetics. He was previously co-chair of the steering committee of the NIH Consortium in Newborn Sequencing in Genomic Medicine and Public Health (NSIGHT). Green is a member of the Consortium on Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE). He served on the Institute of Medicine Committee on the "Evidence Base for Genetic Testing," and has collaborated on research studies with Illumina (company), 23andMe, Pathway and Google.

Green received the 2014 Coriell Award for Scientific Achievement in Personalized Medicine. BIS Research named Green one of the 25 most influential voices in precision medicine in 2019.

Alabama State Route 149

State Route 149 (SR 149) is a 8.145 mi state highway that connects the south suburbs of Mountain Brook and Homewood with the Southside of downtown Birmingham, in the central part of the U.S. state of Alabama. It is in the shape of the letter C. Before the completion of Interstate 65 (I-65), SR 149 was the truck route of U.S. Route 31 (US 31) and US 280.

Route description
The southern terminus of SR 149 is at a folded diamond-type interchange with US 280 (internally designated as SR 38) just southwest of Mountain Brook. Although signed as a north–south highway, it initially travels to the southwest along Shades Creek Parkway. The highway passes Colonial Brookwood Village, one of the larger shopping malls in the Birmingham metro area and then enters Homewood, whereupon Shades Creek Parkway intersects US 31 (Montgomery Parkway; internally designated as SR 3) at a cloverleaf interchange and the name of the road changes to Lakeshore Drive. Along Lakeshore Drive, SR 149 passes the campus of Samford University.

At the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Green Springs Highway, SR 149 turns to the north-northwest and is routed along Green Springs Highway, continuing in Homewood until the route crosses the crest of Red Mountain, where the route enters the city limits of Birmingham. SR 149 closely parallels I-65 for approximately 4 mi until it approaches the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Here the state route has an interchange with I-65, although there are no trailblazers on I-65 indicating that the two routes junction. Near this interchange, the name of Green Springs Highway changes to University Boulevard and northbound SR 149 curves to the northeast.

After the interchange with I-65, SR 149 passes through the heart of the UAB campus. Bartow Arena, home of the UAB Blazers basketball teams, is located less than 0.25 mi north of SR 149. In addition, Regions Field, the home of the Birmingham Barons minor league baseball team is less than 1 mi north of the highway.

SR 149 also provides direct access to several Birmingham-area hospitals, including UAB Hospital and Children's of Alabama. East of the UAB campus and the hospitals, SR 149 continues approximately 0.75 mi until it reaches its northern terminus at a folded-diamond interchange with US 31/US 280 (Elton B. Stephens Expressway). There are no signs on US 31 south/US 280 east to alert motorists that they are meeting SR 149; however, recently installed signs on US 31 north/US 280 west inform motorists of the interchange with the highway.

C'est l'temps

C'est l'temps was a Franco-Ontarian civil disobedience movement in the mid-to-late-1970s over the lack of Ontario government services in French. Over two dozen people were arrested, as activists monopolised police time on trivial traffic infractions, refused to pay fines, and sabotaged computer systems.

The movement led to a significant increase in French-language service accessibility and the Ontario justice system becoming officially bilingual in 1984, followed by the French Language Services Act in 1986.

Background
In 1967, Ontario Premier John Robarts pledged to offer services in French following the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, however, by the early 70s, and despite Robarts' successor Bill Davis, almost no progress had been made on the issue.

At the same time, the separatist movement was gaining momentum in Québec, and regional French-Canadian identities began to assert their individuality.

Goals
The movement made six key demands:

 * 1) An end to unilingual arrests and fines
 * 2) An end to unilingual licence plates
 * 3) Bilingual judicial forms
 * 4) Bilingual driver's licences
 * 5) Bilingual trials
 * 6) Bilingual municipal regulations

Young-Suk Kim

Young-Suk Kim is an educational psychologist known for her research on the science of reading. She is Senior Associate Dean and Professor of Education at the University of California, Irvine.

Kim was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from the White House in 2013. She was honored by the journal Contemporary Educational Psychology in 2016 for being "One of the most productive scholars in Educational Psychology" from 2009 to 2014. While on the faculty at Florida State University, she received the University Teaching Award in 2013, the Developing Scholar Award in 2014, and the Robert M. Gagné Research Award in 2016. In 2022, Kim was listed as the 2nd most productive researcher in the field of literacy, according to an article in Educational Psychology Review.

Biography
Kim received her Bachelor of Arts at Kyungpook National University with a major in English linguistics and literature and minor in secondary school teaching in 1993. Kim then earned a Master in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at San Francisco State University in 1997. She received her Master of Education at Harvard University with a focus on human development and culture in 2003. She then obtained her Doctor of Education in human development and psychology at Harvard University in 2007 under the supervision of Catherine E. Snow.

In 2007, Kim became a faculty associate of Florida State University's Florida Center for Reading Research, and an assistant professor at Florida State University's School of Teacher Education. She then worked as a faculty of the Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Research Training (PIRT) Program at the US Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences from 2009 - 2016. From 2015 - 2016, Kim served as the associate director of the Florida Center for Reading Research. She joined the faculty of the University of California at Irvine in 2016.

Research
Kim's research focuses on literacy acquisition and instruction. This includes identifying early literacy predictors, reading fluency, reading comprehension, and writing composition of English-speaking children. Kim also examines the development of effective instructional approaches for children from linguistically, culturally, and economically diverse backgrounds. Her research has been supported by the US Department of Education, the Institute of Education Sciences, and the National Institute of Child Heath and Human Development.

One of her most cited works, "Reading fluency: The whole is more than the parts" co-authored with Tami Katzir, Maryanne Wolf, Beth O'Brien, Becky Kennedy, Maureen Lovett and Robin Morris, examined the multidimensional nature of fluency in a sample of 123 dyslexic children in second and third grade. The authors suggest that phonological awareness, rapid letter naming, and orthographic pattern recognition contribute to word-reading skills.

Paracanthurus

Paracanthurus hepatus is a species of Indo-Pacific surgeonfish. A popular fish in marine aquaria, it is the only member of the genus Paracanthurus. A number of common names are attributed to the species, including regal tang, palette surgeonfish, blue tang (leading to confusion with the Atlantic species Acanthurus coeruleus), royal blue tang, hippo tang, blue hippo tang, flagtail surgeonfish, Pacific regal blue tang, and blue surgeonfish.

Description
Paracanthurus hepatus has a royal blue body, yellow tail, and black "palette" design. The lower body is yellow in the west-central Indian Ocean. It grows to 30 cm. Adults typically weigh around 600 g and males are generally larger than females. This fish is rather flat, like a pancake, with a circular body shape, a pointed snout-like nose, and small scales. The blue tang has nine dorsal spines, 26–28 dorsal soft rays, three anal spines, and 24–26 anal soft yellow rays.

Location
The regal blue tang can be found throughout the Indo-Pacific. It is seen in the reefs of the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, New Caledonia, Samoa, East Africa, and Sri Lanka. A single specimen was photographed in 2015 in the Mediterranean Sea off Israel. The regal blue tang is one of the most common and most popular marine aquarium fish all over the world. They live in pairs or small groups of 8 to 14 individuals. They can also be found near cauliflower corals on the seaweed side of coral reefs.

The regal blue tang is ranked LC (least concern) by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), but is of low vulnerability.

Diet
As a juvenile, its diet consists primarily of plankton. Adults are omnivorous and feed on plankton, but will also graze on algae. Spawning occurs during late afternoon and evening hours. This event is indicated by a change in color from a uniform dark blue to a pale blue. The fish is important for coral health as it eats algae that may otherwise choke it by overgrowth.

Life cycle
Males aggressively court female members of the school, leading to a quick upward spawning rush toward the surface of the water during which eggs and sperm are released. The eggs are small, approximately 0.8 mm in diameter. The eggs are pelagic, each containing a single droplet of oil for flotation. The fertilized eggs hatch in twenty-four hours, revealing small, translucent larvae with silvery abdomens and rudimentary caudal spines. Once opaque, the black "palette" pattern on juveniles do not fully connect until mature. These fish reach sexual maturity at 9–12 months of age.

Importance to humans

The regal blue tang is of minor commercial fisheries importance; however, it is a bait fish. The flesh has a strong odor and is not highly prized. This fish may cause ciguatera poisoning if consumed by humans. However, regal blue tangs are collected commercially for the aquarium trade. Handling the tang risks the chances of being badly cut by the caudal spine. These spines, one on each of the two sides of the caudal peduncle, the area where the tail joins the rest of the body, are extended when the fish is stressed. The quick, thrashing sideways motion of the tail can produce deep wounds that result in swelling and discoloration, posing a risk of infection. It is believed that some species of Acanthurus have venom glands while others do not. The spines are used only as a method of protection against aggressors.

Conservation
The species is classified as Least concern by the IUCN, however, it is threatened by overexploitation (mostly for the aquarium trade) and destructive fishing practices. Since it is dependent on fragile coral reef habitats, habitat destruction also constitutes pressure in parts of its range. In an endeavor to mitigate the destruction of natural regal blue tang populations, efforts have been made to breed the species in captivity. It was successfully captive-bred for the first time in 2016, after a 6-year long effort by biologist Kevin Barden of Rising Tide Conservation.

In popular culture
In the 2003 Disney/Pixar film, Finding Nemo, one of the main characters, Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) is a regal blue tang suffering from short term memory loss. She and her parents, Jenny and Charlie (voiced by Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy), appear in the 2016 Disney/Pixar film sequel, Finding Dory.
