(This article is about the NSWRL Premierships run from 1908 until 1994. For the governing body of rugby league in New South Wales, see New South Wales Rugby League.) The New South Wales Rugby League premiership was the first rugby league football club competition established in Australia and predecessor to today's National Rugby League. Run by the New South Wales Rugby League (initially named the New South Wales Rugby Football League) from 1908 until 1994, the premiership was the state's and later the country's elite rugby league competition. For most of the premiership's history it was contested by clubs from the state of New South Wales only, but later attempted to grow into a nationwide competition, eventually leading to the competition being played under the auspices of the Australian Rugby League in 1995. Despite this name, the 1995 and 1996 Australian Rugby League Premierships competitions were still administered by the Board and staff of the New South Wales Rugby League.

The Long Goodbye is a Los Angeles-based indie band whose members include actors Michael Cera (of Arrested Development, Superbad and Juno), his Clark and Michael co-star Clark Duke, and drummer Christian Buenaventura. A feature in the September 2007 issue of Spin describes the band’s songs as “silly, confessional, and off-the-cuff rag-tag ditties,” based on “simple structures” and “adolescent-in-love lyrics.” The band’s original material is available on its MySpace page, including songs “Can I Call You Mine,” “Leading Man,” and “Pilgrim.” The band credits Weezer as a musical influence (a cover of Weezer’s “El Scorcho” is available on YouTube); Cera calls Weezer’s Pinkerton his “favorite album of all time.\" The band remains unsigned as of August 26, 2007 and LimeWire Music Blog suggests, “Based on the lo-fi quality of the band’s recordings, it is clear that the boys view their side-project as a goalless hobby, or just an excuse to carry around guitars.” This perception is reinforced by a November 13, 2006 posting on the band’s MySpace blog which reads, “We will not post lyrics. Most of them aren't that great anyhow... you're not missing anything.” On March 12, 2007 a posting by Clark Duke on the band’s MySpace blog indicated that “a side band is forthcoming.” In addition to Weezer, the band's MySpace page credits the following musical influences: Destroyer, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Beulah, Big Star, Of Montreal, Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Kweller, Sparklehorse, The Unicorns, The Rentals, and Built to Spill.

In Greek mythology, Eleos (Ancient Greek Ἔλεος m.) was the personification of pity, mercy, clemency, and compassion (not to be mistaken for Soteria). There is not one distinctive way to depict the goddess because she was seen as an entity rather than a person like that of Zeus and other popular gods and goddesses. The only factor that has stayed constant when depicted in art is that she is shown as a young woman with a blue veil or dress. Shy, weak, vulnerable and sad, Eleos is very depressed and has grief for no valid reason. Instead of feeling flattered that she is known in Athens, she is often upset and even her supporters find it hard to approach her. She was believed to be the child of Erebus and Nyx. Her brothers and sisters are thought to be: \n* Hemera (Goddess of the day) \n* Aither (God of light) \n* Hypnos (God of sleep) \n* Eris (Goddess of strife) \n* Nemesis (Goddess of retribution) \n* Eros (God of procreation) \n* Apate (Goddess of deceit) \n* Thanatos (God of non-violent death) \n* Moros (God of doom) \n* Momos (God of ridicule) \n* Dolos (God of trickery) \n* Oizys (Goddess of misery) \n* Hybris (Goddess of insolence) \n* Geras (God of old age) \n* Philotes (Goddess of friendship) \n* Sophrosyne (Goddess of moderation) \n* Epiphron (God of prudence) \n* Kharon (the ferryman of the dead) \n* The Moirai (the Fates) \n* The Erinyes (the Furies) \n* The Keres (Goddesses of violent death) \n* The Oneiroi (spirits of dreams) \n* The Hesperides (Goddesses of the evening) There was an altar in Athens dedicated to Eleos, at which children of Heracles sought refuge from Eurystheus' prosecution. Adrastus also came to this altar after the loss of the battle of Seven Against Thebes, praying that those who died in the battle be buried. Eleos was only recognized in Athens, where she was honored by the cutting of hair and the undressing of garments at the alter. Anyone who wanted to be Athens' ally had to approach her altar as a suppliant. Eleos was depicted in few scripts and plays. One example is in \"Odysseus's Bow\", by Bay B. Boothe Jr.,Eleos is shown speaking to Zeus. She begs Zeus to show Odysseus mercy in his old age and to allow him to pass into the after life. Zeus reluctantly agrees and the Moirae is able to cut Odysseus' life string and he passes of old age. In Roman mythology, Clementia was the goddess of forgiveness and mercy. Clementia was seen as a good trait within a leader, it also the Latin word for \"humanity\" or \"forbearance\". This is opposed to Saevitia which was savagery and bloodshed. She was the Roman counterpart of Eleos.

Burchard IV or Bouchard IV (1182–1244) was the lord of Avesnes and Étrœungt. He was the son of James of Avesnes and Adela of Guise and brother of Walter, Count of Blois. Bouchard began his career as a cantor and subdeacon in the church of Laon. In 1212, he was named bailiff of Hainaut. In this capacity, he served as tutor and guardian of the young Margaret, sister of Joanna, Countess of Flanders and Hainault. He later married Margaret in 1212, though she was only ten years old and the marriage could not be consummated. Neither Joanna nor Count Ferdinand gave their consent, and tried to have the marriage stopped, they failed. Bouchard lived a war-like life. He invaded the territory of his brother Walter, who had received most of their patrimony. He then invaded Flanders and forced Joanna and Ferdinand to recognise his marriage to Margaret. He then fought at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, under the (losing) Flemish banner. Philip Augustus, the king of France and victor of Bouvines, then counselled the pope, Innocent III, to declare the marriage of Bouchard and Margaret illegal. Innocent eventually excommunicated Bouchard on 19 January 1216. They took refuge in Luxembourg. In 1219, Bouchard was captured in battle and would be imprisoned in Ghent for two years. To obtain his release, Margaret accepted the dissolution of the marriage and Bouchard left for Italy to fight for the Holy See. Upon his return, he was decapitated at Rupelmonde on the orders of Joanna. Bouchard and Margaret had three children, who played an important part in the War of the Succession of Flanders and Hainault: \n* Baldwin (1217–1219), took refuge with his parents in Luxembourg \n* John I (1218–1257), later Count of Hainault \n* Baldwin (1219–1295), Lord of Beaumont

Michell's Pass is a mountain pass in the Western Cape province of South Africa which approaches the town of Ceres from the south-west, connecting it to Tulbagh, Worcester and the Breede River Valley. The pass is traversed by the R46 road and the Ceres branchline railway, which was re-opened for use by the Ceres Rail Company in 2015. From its western entrance near Wolseley the pass ascends 190 metres (620 ft) to the summit at an elevation of 490 metres (1,610 ft), before descending a short distance into Ceres. The road pass was planned by Charles Collier Michell, Surveyor-General of the Cape of Good Hope, for whom it was named. The pass was constructed in 1848 by Andrew Geddes Bain. In 1938, the road was widened and paved. A 10 miles 29 chains (16.7 kilometres) railway branchline from Wolseley through the pass to Ceres was constructed from 1910 and opened to traffic on 20 May 1912. The north portal of a tunnel at the top of the railway pass is situated near the road and railway entrances to the town. The 6 miles 25 chains (10.2 kilometres) extension of the railway line from Ceres to Prince Alfred Hamlet was only opened to traffic seventeen years later, on 10 April 1929.

The Keystone Centre is a multi-purpose facility located in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. Its main 5,102-seat arena, Westman Communications Group Place, is the home of the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League and the annual Royal Manitoba Winter Fair. Aside from Westman Communications Group Place, the Keystone Centre also features an exhibition hall for trade shows and agricultural events, two smaller hockey arenas, and the Brandon Curling Club. A hotel complex operated by Canad Inns is located adjacent to the Keystone Centre and features accommodations, a waterpark, restaurant, pub, and gaming lounge. The Keystone Centre has been the site of numerous major sporting events, most recently the 2010 Memorial Cup. The Wheat Kings, playing as the host team, advanced to the championship game, but came up short against the heavily favored Windsor Spitfires. Other major events held at the Keystone Centre include the 1999 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships (co-hosted with Winnipeg), the 1995 Ford Men's and Women's World Curling Championships, the 1993 and 2002 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the 1997 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, and the 1994 Air Canada Cup. The Western Canadian Junior \"B\" Hockey Championship, the Keystone Cup, is named after the Keystone Centre as it was the alternate site used by the original tournament in 1983 that took place in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. The original structure was built in 1973 and was a joint venture between the City of Brandon, the Government of Manitoba, and the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba, which organizes the Royal Fair each March. The Keystone Agricultural and Recreation Centre Inc., a non-profit corporation formed by the three parties, owns and operates the complex and grounds. The Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba contributed the original land and assets. The City of Brandon and the Province of Manitoba have agreed to cover any operating deficits of the Keystone Centre. The Keystone Centre has seen numerous expansions since its opening, including the construction of the Canad Inns hotel that replaced the Manex Arena, the former home of the Wheat Kings. The complex underwent through an interior redesign in the summer of 2007. On May 1, 2007, Westman Communications Group purchased the naming rights to the main arena and viewing lounge.

Graphics, online option and its price were the aspects most praised for the first update, while Accent Core divided opinions about its innovations and was panned by its Wii controls. Core Plus was the source of much praise, although it was not totally satisfying for reviewers; Plus R, however, is the one that has the lowest average scores from GameRankings and Metacritic. Sales-wise, there is a decline from #Reload to Core Plus.

Breitenbush Lake is a 65-acre (26 ha) water body on a high plateau north of Mount Jefferson in the Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Oregon. The lake, fed by seepage and small creeks, is part of the North Fork Breitenbush River watershed. It is in Marion County near its border with Jefferson County and lies within the Mount Hood National Forest and the Warm Springs Indian Reservation at an elevation of about 5,500 feet (1,700 m). Forest Road 4220 runs by the lake. Breitenbush Lake Campground, maintained by the United States Forest Service, has 20 sites and a vault toilet but no garbage service. Canoes are allowed on the lake but not motorboats. The lake, which supports rainbow and brook trout generally ranging in length from 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm), is stocked periodically. Forest Road 4220 has been described as rough at best, and heavy snow keeps it closed to most traffic from mid-October through the end of June, usually. When the road is snow-covered, visitors can still use it to reach the lake on snowshoes, cross-country skis, or snowmobiles.

The Minneapolis sound is a subgenre of funk rock with elements of synthpop and new wave, that was pioneered by Prince in the late 1970s. Its popularity was given a boost throughout the 1980s, thanks to him and his musical adherents, including The Time, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Morris Day, Vanity 6, Apollonia 6, Ta Mara & the Seen, Sheila E., Jesse Johnson, Brownmark, Mazarati, and The Family. According to the Rolling Stone Album Guide, \"the Minneapolis sound... loomed over mid-'80s R&B and pop, not to mention the next two decades' worth of electro, house, and techno.\" Prince's third album Dirty Mind from 1980 also earns credit. Pepe Willie, who brought his brand of music to Minneapolis from Brooklyn, New York, in the mid-'70s, is credited with being the first to bring Prince into the studio professionally to play on his group, 94 East's, demo. Owen Husney, Prince's first manager is credited with managing many of the Minneapolis artists at the time, recording them in his American Artists studio, and securing contracts for them with major labels. Some artists who came from Minnesota were influenced by Prince's work and some came from other parts of the U.S. or world, such as Scottish star Sheena Easton, Flint, Michigan's Ready for the World and Los Angeles, California's Cherrelle. The Minneapolis sound is also known as a form of funk rock.

Mount Merbabu (Indonesian: Gunung Merbabu) is a dormant stratovolcano in Central Java province on the Indonesian island of Java. The name Merbabu could be loosely translated as 'Mountain of Ash' from the Javanese combined words; Meru means \"mountain\" and awu or abu means \"ash\". The active volcano Mount Merapi is directly adjacent on its south-east side, while the city of Salatiga is located on its northern foothills. A 1,500m high broad saddle lies between Merbabu and Merapi, the site of the village of Selo, Java and highly fertile farming land. There are two peaks; Syarif (3,119 m) and Kenteng Songo (3,145 m). Three U-shaped radial valleys extend from the Kenteng Songo summit in northwesterly, northeastly and southeastly directions. Two known moderate eruptions occurred in 1560 and 1797. The 1797 event was rated 2: Explosive, on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. An unconfirmed eruption may have occurred in 1570. Geologically recent eruptions originated from a North Northwest-South Southeast fissure system that cut across the summit and fed the large-volume lava flows from Kopeng and Kajor craters on the northern and southern flanks, respectively. Merbabu can be climbed from several routes originating from the town of Kopeng on the north east sideside, and also from Selo on the southern side. A climb from Kopeng to Kenteng Songo takes between 8 and 10 hours. An area of 57 km² at the mountain has been declared a national park in 2004.

The Appalachian azure (Celastrina neglectamajor) is a butterfly in the gossamer wings family Lycaenidae. The male is light blue on the upperwing with a narrow, dark line running along the edge of the forewing. The underwing is chalky white and is dotted with small, pale dark spots. The very back of the hindwing has a row of dark spots running along the edge and contained by a faint zigzagging band. Females are similar to the males but have broad dark wing borders instead of the male's narrow ones. The adult butterfly has a 1.1–1.4-inch (2.8–3.6 cm) wingspan. It is the largest azure in the area. The Appalachian azure is found throughout the central and southern Appalachian mountains from Pennsylvania to Georgia and has a few isolated records from Missouri, Kentucky, and Ohio. It lives in moist deciduous woodlands with plenty of shade and streamsides near these forests. Males often gather in groups near mud puddles by these streamsides. The adult butterflies only lay one set of eggs. The azure's eggs are laid singly on the flower buds of a host plant, though several eggs may be on the same plant. The eggs are a pale green. The larvae range in coloration from a yellowish green in the early stages of life to a reddish brown. They typically have an incomplete dark dorsal band and the greener caterpillars may have pale white markings. The Appalachian azure's larvae are specialists, living on and only eating the flowers of the black cohosh (Actaea racemosa). The adult azure typically lives for a few weeks from mid-May to late June. It is temporally separated from similar species of azure in its range by living as a butterfly after the similar spring azure but before the summer azure. The scientific name neglecta-major was first coined in 1908 by Tutt as a 'form', describing the late spring generation of Celastrina argiolus pseudargiolus. In their authoritative monograph on the Lycaenopsis group of Polyommatine genera, Eliot & Kawazoe treated pseudargiolus as a synonym of ladon, Cramer, 1780. Thus the according to neglectamajor of specific status is very doubtful. Although this species is not threatened with extinction, its habitat may be threatened by the spread of the garlic mustard (Alliaria officinalis).

Samuel Bode Miller (/ˈboʊdiː/; born October 12, 1977) is a World Cup alpine ski racer from the United States. He is an Olympic and World Championship gold medalist, a two-time overall World Cup champion in 2005 and 2008, and the most successful male American alpine ski racer of all time. He is also considered one of the greatest World Cup racers of all time with 33 victories – one of five men to win World Cup events in all five disciplines. In November 2004, Miller became the 5th and last man to win World Cup races in the slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, and combined − and today he is the only skier with five or more victories in each discipline. In 2008, Miller and Lindsey Vonn won the overall World Cup titles for the first U.S. sweep in 25 years. He has won six medals in the Winter Olympics, the most of any U.S. skier − two silvers (giant slalom and combined) in Salt Lake City 2002, a gold (super combined), a silver (super-G) and a bronze (downhill) in Vancouver 2010 and a bronze (super-G) in Sochi 2014. Miller is one of 5 skiers who have won Olympic medals in 4 different disciplines, matching the feats of Kjetil André Aamodt and female racers Anja Pärson, Janica Kostelić and Katja Seizinger. He has won six discipline World Cup titles.

The 1911 Sarez earthquake occurred at 18:41 UTC on 18 February (23:31 local time) in the central Pamir Mountains in the Rushon District of eastern Tajikistan. It had an estimated magnitude of 7.4 on the surface wave magnitude scale and a maximum felt intensity of about IX (Violent) on the Mercalli intensity scale. It triggered a massive landslide, blocking the Murghab River and forming the Usoi Dam, the tallest dam in the world, creating Sarez Lake. The earthquake and related landslides destroyed many buildings and killed about 90 people.

Ľubomír Vaic (born 6 March 1977 in Spišská Nová Ves, Czechoslovakia) is a professional ice hockey player, who briefly played in the NHL for the Vancouver Canucks and currently plays for HC Slovan Bratislava in the Slovak hockey league. Drafted by the Canucks 227th overall in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft, Vaic came to North America a year later. He scored 27 points in 50 games for the Syracuse Crunch, Vancouver's AHL affiliate. He also earned a 5-game callup to the Canucks, where he scored his first (and to this date, only) NHL goal, and added an assist. Vaic returned to Slovakia for another year before returning to the Canucks organization for the 1999–2000 season. However, he would find himself in much the same situation, scoring 42 points in 63 games for Syracuse, and being held pointless in 4 NHL games in Vancouver. Following the season, he was released by the Canucks, who considered him too small to be a significant NHL contributor. Returning to Europe, Vaic became something of a nomad, appearing with five clubs in five different major European leagues over the next five seasons. He was, however, a consistent offensive performer, and helped Metallurg Magnitogorsk to the Russian league championship in 2003–04. He would finally find a long-term home in the Czech Extraliga, after signing with HC Bílí Tygři Liberec in 2004. In 2005–06, he finished 2nd in scoring in the Extraliga, and helped Liberec to the league championship. At the end of the 2006–07 season he joined HC Sparta Prague. Vaic has appeared in 9 NHL games, recording a goal and an assist for two points. He has also represented Slovakia at three World Championships, winning a bronze medal in 2003.

Centrifugal Railway was the name of a number of early looping roller coasters that were built in Western Europe in the middle of the 19th century. These rides were very similar in their basic design to many modern day shuttle roller coasters (i.e., they did not make a complete circuit), but with only one lift hill and no launch. A single roller coaster car would ascend to the peak on the coaster before descending rapidly down the same hill and then passing through the central loop with enough speed and centrifugal force to remain on the track at the top of the loop. The size of these centrifugal railways differed; some were purported to have vertical loops of a mere 6.5 feet (2.0 m), while others were estimated to be 40 feet (12 m) (although, as described below, early coaster designers were prone to cases of gross exaggeration).

The Arco Norte (lit.: Northern Arc) is a toll road in Mexico. It serves as a bypass around Greater Mexico City and currently links the Mexico-Puebla toll road on the east with the Mexico-Querétaro toll road on the west. Currently the road is 169 km long, with a total planned length of 223 km. The highway begins east of Mexico City near San Martín Texmelucan de Labastida, which lies just inside Puebla state. The highway has 2 lanes in each direction and begins northward through low mountains at 2500m above sea level. It continues through the western side of Tlaxcala state, then through the area where the states of Mexico and Hidalgo border each other, at about 2400m above sea level. The highway bends to the west, with few exits in the area. It serves few large population centers. As it reaches Tula the area is greener and lies about 2000m above sea level. Then it rises to about 2400m and ends at the junction with the Mexico-Querétaro toll road. Construction of the Arco Norte began on February 28, 2006. The currently built section opened in July 2009 (between the Autopista Mexico - Puebla and the Autopista Mexico - Querétaro, 169 km). Plans are for the Arco Norte to be extended at its western end from the junction with the Mexico-Querétaro toll road to Atlacomulco and the junction with Mexican Federal Highway 126, a route to Guadalajara. The toll in 2011 for the 169km section that was open was 225 Mexican pesos.

Sceleropages is a genus of freshwater fishes found in Asia and Australia. Four species are currently recognized. All are carnivorous and have great jumping ability. Most are endangered in the wild to some degree. Scleropages species are highly valued as aquarium fish, particularly by those from Asian cultures. Before 2003, three species were recognized from this genus (S. formosus, S. jardinii, and S. leichardti). A fourth species, S. inscriptus, was described from Myanmar in 2012. In 2003, a study redescribed several naturally occurring color varieties of S. formosus, the Asian arowana, into four separate species. The majority of researchers dispute these redescriptions, arguing that the published data are insufficient to justify recognizing more than one Southeast Asian species of Scleropages, and that divergent haplotypes used to distinguish the color strains into isolated species were found within a single color strain, contradicting the findings. They are considered monotypic, consisting of closely related haplotypes based on color. The ancestor of the Australian arowanas, S. jardinii and S. leichardti, diverged from the ancestor of the Asian arowanas about 140 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period. The morphological similarity of all six species shows that little evolutionary change has taken place recently for these ancient fish. The genus had a much wider distribution during the early Cenozoic, with fossil remains known from the Paleocene of Niger and Belgium.

Ric-Tic Records was a record label set up in the 1960s in Detroit, Michigan, United States by Joanne Bratton and Ed Wingate. Twinned with the Golden World label Ric-Tic featured many soul music artists and was seen as an early competitor for fellow Detroit label Motown. Motown's owner, Berry Gordy was unhappy with the success of Ric-Tic and in 1968 paid $1 million for the signature of many of the label's artists. The label was named for the recently deceased son of label executive Bratton and her then husband Johnny Bratton, the boxer. The boy, named Derek, was known to his family as Ricky, Ric, or Ric-Tic.

Labeo angra is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. It is known commonly as the Angra labeo. It is native to Asia, where it is distributed in Bangladesh, India, Burma, Nepal, and Pakistan. It has also been reported from Afghanistan. This fish has been known to reach a maximum length around 22 centimeters. It is an herbivorous freshwater fish that can be found in several habitat types in rivers, lakes, and ponds. This species is of commercial importance as a food and sport fish. It has become very rare in the Hakaluki Haor wetlands of eastern Bangladesh, and the construction of a dam on the Tinau River of Nepal has interrupted its migration activity there, but in general it is common and not considered threatened.

Bidzina Cholokashvili (Georgian: ბიძინა ჩოლოყაშვილი) (died c. 1660) is a Christian martyr canonized by the Georgian Orthodox Church. His feast is celebrated on October 1. He was one of the leaders of Bakhtrioni Uprising (1659). During the 1630s he was a \"sakhltukhutsesi\" of Kingdom of Kakheti. In the battle between Teimuraz and Rostom he supported the former. In 1648 by order of Teimuraz he invaded Ertso in order to make Ertso-Tianeti subordinate to the King. After the uprising Shah summoned Bidzina as well as Shalva and Elizbar Eristavi, who later were forced to converse their religion, but none of them accepted. As a result, they were given to tribes whose members were slaughtered during the uprising. Bidzina was tortured and killed.

The 1991 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season began with the team trying to improve on an 6–10 season. In Richard Williamson's first full season as coach the Buccaneers started by losing their first five games, on the way to another last place 3–13 season. Among the major disappointments was quarterback Vinny Testaverde, who was replaced by Chris Chandler at quarterback early in the season, who passed for 1,994 yards and eight touchdown passes to 15 interceptions. Following the season Coach Williamson would be fired and replaced by Sam Wyche. Tax records would later show that the Buccaneers were one of the most profitable teams during this time, even though owner Hugh Culverhouse announced the Bucs were losing money and needed to play games in Orlando, Florida to get income. Such records revealed Culverhouse ran the Bucs as a profit first business, often releasing better players who would deserve big contracts.

The 2015 Copa do Brasil Finals were the two-legged final that decided the winner of the 2015 Copa do Brasil, the 27th edition of the Copa do Brasil, Brazil's national cup football tournament organized by CBF. The finals were contested in two-legged home-and-away format between Santos and Palmeiras, two of the most successful clubs of Brazil. Following a draw to determine the home and away teams for both legs, Santos hosted the first match at Vila Belmiro in Santos on 25 November 2015, while the second match was hosted by Palmeiras at Allianz Parque in São Paulo on 2 December 2015. Santos won the first leg by 1–0, and Palmeiras won the second leg by 2–1. As the tournament does not include extra time for any match in case of a tied aggregate score, nor even the away goals rule for the finals, the second match went straight to the penalty shoot-out, which Palmeiras won by 4–3 to claim their 3rd Copa do Brasil title. This was the first Copa do Brasil win for manager Marcelo Oliveira, having reached the finals four times as he was runners-up in 2011, 2012 and 2014. The title was also Palmeiras' first playing in Allianz Parque, inaugurated on November 2014. As winners, Palmeiras qualified automatically to group stage of the 2016 Copa Libertadores de América.

Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's was a restaurant owned by Gordon Ramsay and located with Claridge's hotel in Mayfair, London. Blackstone Group had enquired about Ramsay's availability to open a restaurant after he was awarded three Michelin Stars at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. It marked the first of a number of restaurants that Ramsay would open at hotels owned by Blackstone. It opened in 2001, and by the fourth year was making a profit of £2 million a year. Mark Sargeant was the chef de cuisine of the restaurant until 2008, during which time the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star. The initial contract was for ten years, and after it was extended for three further short periods, Ramsay withdrew from negotiations with the new owners of the hotel and closed the restaurant at the end of the lease on 30 June 2013. It was positively reviewed by critics upon its launch, although work was required by staff to reduce the numbers of complaints it received from diners. Whilst some restaurant guides such as Zagat gave the restaurant positive reviews, Harden's did not. Both Sargeant and his successor Steve Allen won awards for cheffing when they worked at the restaurant.

\"Cross Your Heart\" was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1974, performed in English by Tina. Tina performed all eight songs in the Irish national heats on RTÉ's Saturday evening entertainment series The Likes of Mike, where she sang four songs in English and four in Irish. The result was decided, for the first time since 1967, by a public postal vote in which \"Cross Your Heart\" won by a landslide with 16,686 votes, 11,000 clear of the runner-up \"Is Liom É\". The song is moderately up-tempo, with Reynolds using a number of childhood rhymes (\"cross your heart and hope to die\" and \"sticks and stones wouldn't break my bones\") to communicate to a would-be lover how serious she is about a potential relationship, with the contrast between the serious intention and the playful nature of the rhymes being drawn out throughout the lyrics. She sings that, although her heart has been broken before, she has no intention of giving up on love now. She also reminds her lover that \"so many hearts are broken by one little lie\". The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following the Netherlands' Mouth & MacNeal with \"I See A Star\" and preceding Germany's Cindy & Bert with \"Die Sommermelodie\"). At the close of voting, it had received 11 points, placing 7th in a field of 17. It was succeeded as Irish representative at the 1975 Contest by The Swarbriggs with \"That's What Friends Are For\".

Charles II Gonzaga (1609–1631) was the son of Charles I, Duke of Mantua and Catherine de Lorraine-Guise (also known as Catherine de Mayenne), he was the Duke of Nevers and Rethel, together with his father. In 1621, he succeeded his uncle Henri de Lorraine-Guise as Duke of Mayenne. In 1627 he married his cousin Maria Gonzaga, Marquise of Montferrat and heiress to the Duchy of Mantua. However, Cesare II Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla and Emperor Ferdinand II rejected her claim to Mantua, leading to the War of Mantuan Succession (1628–1631). Charles was never the proper Duke of Mantua since he died at Cavriana six years before his father. When the latter died in 1637, Charles's eight-year-old son, Charles II, became Duke of Mantua, his widow Maria acting as regent. His daughter Eleonora became Holy Roman Empress.

Mattie Larson (born May 20, 1992 in Los Angeles) is a retired elite American gymnast. She is a member of the U.S. National Team and is the 2010 National Champion on floor exercise. Mattie competed for the UCLA Bruins from 2012 through 2014. Her parents, Eric Larson and Gail Boggs, are actors. Though expected to challenge for a spot on the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team, Larson injured her leg before the final day of the selection camp and could not compete on her best events. Other injuries followed, and she was out of competition for nearly two years. Larson came back strong in 2010 to win the all-around title at the CoverGirl Classic in July. A month later she won three medals at the 2010 U.S. National Championships: gold on floor, silver in the all-around, and bronze on uneven bars. Larson signed with the UCLA Gymnastics Team but deferred enrollment to try for the 2012 Olympics in London. Larson trains with fellow USA Gymnastics National Team member Samantha Shapiro.
