The 1976 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the XXXIV Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held at the Monaco street circuit in Monaco on 30 May 1976. It was the fifth round of the 1976 Formula One season and the 34th Monaco Grand Prix. The race was contested over 78 laps of the 3.3 km circuit for a race distance of 257 kilometres.

Lauda won by 11 second over Jody Scheckter driving a six-wheeled Tyrrell P34, whilst Scheckter's teammate, Patrick Depailler, completed the podium in third position. As a consequence of the race, Lauda extended his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to 36 points over his team mate Clay Regazzoni who had retired after starting second, going off track on oil laid down when James Hunt retired, climbing back to third before crashing. A lap down in fourth was the March 761 of Hans-Joachim Stuck with the McLaren M23 of Jochen Mass and the Fittipaldi FD04 of Emerson Fittipaldi completing the point scoring positions.

Capital City Mall is a 608,911-square-foot (56,569.7 m2) regional shopping mall located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Harrisburg in Lower Allen Township, Pennsylvania. It is one of three enclosed malls in the immediate Harrisburg area, and is the only enclosed mall in Harrisburg's western suburbs. Its current anchors are JC Penney, Macy's, and Sears. The free standing Toys \"R\" Us in the rear parking lot has relocated to the Carlisle Pike about 5 miles away and that building was demolished in early 2015. The outdoor enthusiast store Field & Stream is open. The mall is owned and operated by the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust. An extensive redevelopment project was completed in 2006, which relocated and expanded the food court. This gave the mall an additional 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2). of retail space, with 2 full service dining options (Davenport's Italian Oven and Garfield's) added as well. In 2011 the Davenport's Italian Oven closed and the space was converted into a DSW store in March 2013. The Garfield's restaurant also closed in 2013. In fall of 2014, a Walmart Supercenter was built next door to the JCPenney anchor.

(See also: Battle of Arras (1917), Second Battle of the Aisne, Battle of the Hills, and Battle of La Malmaison) The Nivelle Offensive in 1917, was a Franco-British offensive on the Western Front in the First World War. The French part of the offensive was intended to be strategically decisive, by breaking through the German defences on the Aisne front within 48 hours, with casualties expected to be around 10,000 men. A preliminary attack was to be made by the French Third Army at St. Quentin and the British First, Third and Fifth armies at Arras, to capture high ground and divert German reserves from the French fronts on the Aisne and in Champagne. The main offensive was to be delivered by the French on the Chemin des Dames ridge (the Second Battle of the Aisne, La bataille du Chemin des Dames, Seconde bataille de l'Aisne and Doppelschlacht Aisne-Champagne), with a subsidiary attack by the Fourth Army (the Third Battle of Champagne, the Battle of the Hills or Battle of the Hills of Champagne). The final stage of the offensive was to follow the meeting of the British and French armies, having broken through the German lines, with a pursuit of the defeated German armies towards the German frontier. The Franco-British attacks were tactically successful; the French Third Army of the Groupe d'armées du Nord captured the German defences west of the Hindenburg Line (Siegfriedstellung) near St. Quentin from 1–4 April, before further attacks were repulsed. The British Third and First armies achieved the deepest advance since trench warfare began, along the Scarpe river in the Battle of Arras, which inflicted many losses on the Germans, attracted reserves and captured Vimy Ridge to the north. The main French offensive on the Aisne began on 16 April and also achieved considerable tactical success but the attempt to force a strategically decisive battle on the Germans failed and by 25 April the main offensive was suspended. The failure of the Nivelle strategy and the high number of French casualties led to mutinies and the dismissal of Nivelle, his replacement by Pétain and the adoption of a defensive strategy while the French army recuperated and was rearmed. Fighting known as the Battle of the Observatories continued for local advantage all summer on the Chemin des Dames and along the Moronvilliers heights east of Reims. In late October the French conducted a limited-objective attack on the west end of the Chemin-des-Dames in the Battle of La Malmaison, which forced the Germans to retire across the Ailette valley.

Randolph School is an American independent private kindergarten-through-12th-grade college preparatory school chartered in 1959 in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama. It started in an antebellum home on Randolph Avenue in downtown Huntsville with just a few elementary classes. A few years later it moved to a much larger 17-acre (69,000 m2) campus on Drake Avenue, where it is now located, gradually adding grade levels until having a graduating high school class in the early 1970s. In 1998, the school purchased 50 acres (200,000 m2) of land on Garth Road, less than one mile (1.6 km) from the present location of the main campus. After only expanding the athletic facilities there, in 2006, the Board of Trustees finally gave approval for the construction of a new campus for the high school, something which had been discussed since 1997. According to the plans, the second campus will more than double the square footage of available facilities, and allow continued increase in enrollment. The new high school opened for the 2009–2010 school year. For the Fine arts, the new school includes a new theater with stadium seating, a workshop for stagecraft, band and choral rooms, and new restroom facilities. For athletics, The Shields-Jones Athletic Complex on the new Garth Campus has six spacious locker rooms, two health and human performance classrooms, a state-of-the-art athletic training room and a 2,200-square-foot weight and fitness room with cardio machines and Hammer Strength weight equipment. In total, Randolph has two gymnasiums, six tennis courts, two practice fields and professionally maintained fields for football, baseball, softball and soccer. For the academic year 2016-2017, tuition and fees averaged about $20,000, though the school offers need-based tuition assistance to help meet the needs of our families who might not otherwise be able to attend Randolph. Admission decisions are made separately from tuition assistance decisions. In order to assess a family’s financial need, the School partners with the School and Student Service for Financial Aid, a service of the National Association of Independent Schools. In 2014, Randolph received a grant from the Edward. E. Ford Foundation to help the School begin to address the long-term sustainability of a robust tuition assistance program.

In June 2014 he became editor of The Oldie magazine in succession to Richard Ingrams. Chancellor lives in Northamptonshire, and is the father of British model Cecilia Chancellor and the uncle of British actress Anna Chancellor.

Irvine, a Presbyterian minister, and his Irish wife Lilian; Andrew Irvine (mountaineer) was her first cousin. After studying at the University of Aberdeen and Girton College Cambridge, she gained an introduction to Leonard Woolf and in 1926 began reviewing books for the Nation, of which Woolf was then literary editor. In 1931 the Hogarth Press published her first book, Ten Letter Writers, gaining her recognition within the Bloomsbury Group and beyond. On the strength of this she started, in 1934, to produce a bi-weekly literary journal, The Monologue. Subscribers included Clive and Julian Bell, Elizabeth Bowen, Graham Greene, Maynard Keynes, Vita Sackville-West, and Leonard and Virginia Woolf. The annual subscription for 26 issues was ten shillings (50 pence in today's decimal currency, or approximately one US dollar). In 1934 Irvine married the Cambridge mathematician Max Newman; they had two sons, Edward (born 1935) and William (1939). Lyn Irvine published three more books after World War II. She also wrote a frequently quoted foreword to Sara Turing's biography of her son Alan Turing. From her dove house in Comberton, near Cambridge, she maintained prolific correspondences with friends and family, and surviving letters are now in the archives of St. John's College, Cambridge.

NGC 2146 is a barred spiral galaxy type SB(s)ab pec in the constellation Camelopardalis. The galaxy was discovered in 1876 by Friedrich August Theodor Winnecke. It has a diameter of 80,000 lyr. The galaxy's most conspicuous feature is the dusty lanes of a spiral arm lying across the core of the galaxy as seen from Earth, the arm having been bent 45 degrees by a close encounter with a smaller galaxy possibly NGC 2146a about 0.8 billion years ago. This close encounter is credited with the relatively high rates of star formation that qualify NGC 2146 as a starburst galaxy. It was host to supernova SN 2005V, a type Ib/c supernova discovered by LIRIS on January 30.

Canto Popolare is an arrangement for viola with piano accompaniment, made by the English composer Edward Elgar. It is from the viola solo in the central section of his concert-overture In the South (Alassio), written in 1904. Following the success of the overture, Elgar was asked to make arrangements of the melody for any instrument: the most important being the version for viola with piano accompaniment, edited by the violist Alfred Hobday. The vocal version, \"In Moonlight\", was set to words by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Other versions were for small orchestra; and for violin, cello and clarinet accompanied by piano. The composer sent corrected proofs of the arrangements to the publisher Novello & Co at the end of September 1904. \"Canto popolare\" (Italian) means \"folk song\". Elgar first suggested that the melody had come from a popular Italian song, but later admitted that it was his own invention.

99 Dike (/ˈdaɪkiː/ DY-kee) is a quite large and dark main-belt asteroid. Dike was discovered by Alphonse Borrelly on May 28, 1868. It was his first asteroid discovery. It is named after Dike, the Greek goddess of moral justice. Based upon a light curve that was generated from photometric observations of this asteroid at Pulkovo Observatory, it has a rotation period of 18.127 ± 0.002 hours and varies in brightness by 0.22 ± 0.02 in magnitude. But according to Shrindan E. (2009) the rotation period is of 10.360 ± 0.001 h. The asteroid is located near the Juno clump of asteroids, but is most likely unrelated. Phase curve of (99) Dike

Warwick is a rural township in Lambton County, Ontario, Canada, with a population (2011) of 3717. Bisected by the Egremont Road that was surveyed to link London with the Lake Huron shoreline in 1832, the township began to attract settlers including those helped by charitable organizations, such as Lord Sheffield's Petworth settlers, and retired soldiers from the British Army. A village by the same name was surveyed within the township where Bear Creek crossed the Egremont. The larger village of Watford was established to the southeast of Warwick Village when the Great Western Railway was established in the 1850s. Watford became an incorporated village in 1873 while parts of Warwick were removed for municipal purposes when the villages of Forest and Arkona were incorporated in the 1870s. With municipal restructuring in 2001, Watford and Warwick were merged. While agriculture remains a mainstay the township's location between the cities of London and Sarnia means that increasingly residents find work in these larger centres. Starting in 2005 a group of volunteers actively worked to research and write a detailed history of the township and collect a substantial archive of historical materials. The resulting project was published as The Township of Warwick: A Story Through Time in 2008. Subsequently, an archives of the materials was established at the Lambton Room in Wyoming, Ontario. In addition to Warwick and Watford, the township also includes the smaller communities of Birnam and Wisbeach.

The 1994 Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 57th year with the National Football League and the 49th and last season in the Greater Los Angeles Area until their 2016 relocation back to Los Angeles. After nearly 50 years in the Greater Los Angeles Area, owner Georgia Frontiere announced that the team would relocate to St. Louis, Missouri on January 15, 1995. While the owners initially rejected the move, permission was eventually granted therefore bringing an end to Southern California's first major professional sports franchise. The threat of relocation dominated talk about the Rams from early in the offseason right up to the moment the move was announced and it had a major effect on the franchise's standing in the market. Average attendance for Rams games at Anaheim Stadium was at an all-time low (an average of 43,312 a game) as ownership negotiated with both Baltimore and St. Louis. Leigh Steinberg organized a group known as \"Save the Rams\" and attempted to reach out to ownership and strike a deal to keep the team in the Southern California market, however, their efforts proved to be unsuccessful. On the field, the Rams continued their downward spiral and missed the postseason for the fifth consecutive season. Los Angeles only won four games and clinched their fifth losing season in a row on December 4 against the New Orleans Saints and finished the season on a seven-game losing streak. The Rams defense saw some glimmers of hope, shutting out Joe Montana's Chiefs and putting together solid performances against Arizona and New York, but it was not nearly enough to lift the Rams back to the .500 mark. At the end of the season, Head Coach Chuck Knox was fired after three consecutive last place finishes in the NFC West and also relieved John Shaw of his General Manager duties (although he remained with the team as a high-ranking executive).

The Évence Coppée Trophy (French: Trophée Evence Coppée) was a single-game tournament in 1904 and the maiden match of the national association football teams of Belgium and France. The trophy was named after Évence Coppée, the Belgian patron that decided to organise this duel in the framework of the Franco-Belgian friendship. The incident-packed game had taken place at the Stade du Vivier d'Oie (\"Goose Pond Stadium\") in Uccle, Belgium and it ended in a 3–3 draw. As the encounter ended undecided (and no extra time was foreseen) the Évence Coppée Trophy that would be handed out to the winner was logically not awarded.

No preliminary rounds were held at this distance, since the number of competitors allowed a direct final. Like Fernanda Ribeiro at the 2000 Summer Olympics, defending champion Derartu Tulu was not able to maintain her title, finishing in the third place behind compatriot (and cousin) Ejegayehu Dibaba and the winner Xing Huina. In Athens, Ribeiro did not finish the race due to fatigue, along with British marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe. Throughout the race, Xing marked the Ethiopian favorites, not taking the lead until the home stretch with a final kick Dibabba could not match. Xing's final lap was just under 63 seconds.

R. (Rudolph) Lewis Teague (November 30, 1917 in Jamaica, New York – April 14, 1978 Fayston, Vermont) was a Second Generation New York School, American painter. The youngest son of Industrial Designer Walter Dorwin Teague, he initially studied architecture at the Pratt Institute. Two years into his studies, he was encouraged to consider pursuing painting by Tom Benrimo, his instructor, and he began studying at the Art Students League of New York, finding Morris Kantor a sympathetic mentor and teacher. Born to Cecilia Fehon Teague and Walter Dorwin Teague, Teague attended PS1, then Gow School for Dyslexia and Learning Disabilities. Teague was left-handed, and letters from his father indicate he was there, at least partially, to learn to write with his right hand. While there, he learned to ski, inspiring his older brother, Dorwin, to also take up the sport, thus inspiring three generations of Teague skiers. Lewis was a member of the lacrosse and rugby teams. Teague married fellow Art Student's League painter, Mary Lee Abbott on March 2, 1943. Teague left the Army in 1945 at the end of the war, and he and Abbott separated in 1946. Teague returned to the Art Students League where he met Virginia Vanderbilt. In 1948 and 1949, Teague contracted polio affecting his thigh and stomach muscles, as well as losing the use of his left arm. Following a long recovery from which he was not expected to survive let alone learn to walk again, he divorced Abbott in 1950, and he and Virginia were married. Learning to walk following the serious bout with polio, Teague and his second wife (1950), Virginia Vanderbilt, moved to Norwich, Vermont from New York in 1954, where they raised four children, Allison, Cecelia, John and Joshua. Teague learned to paint and draw again with his right hand, delivering a body of work that was shown at the New York World's Fair in the Gas Pavilion restaurant in 1960, at the Port Authority in 1964, and through the Bermuda Society of Arts in Bermuda, with Henry Moore in 1965. Numerous shows in Vermont and New York punctuated his career until his death in 1978. A show was held posthumously in 1983 at the Unicorn Gallery in Aspen, which was purchased in its entirety by Texas collector, Gayle David Fogelson. It is unknown what happened to these, some 22, paintings which include some of Teague's most definitive pieces of abstract expressionist and color field paintings. Teague leaves a remaining legacy of paintings and drawings that have essentially not seen the light of day since his death.

The Thunderbolt is a wooden roller coaster located at Kennywood Park in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. It was built by John A. Miller in 1924. The ride's name was Pippin until 1967, when it was changed to Thunderbolt beginning with the 1968 season, coinciding with an expansion of the track headed up by Andy Vettel. The all-wood coaster follows the surrounding terrain with a track length of 2,887 feet (880 m). Its maximum height is 70 feet (21 m), but because of the track layout and the natural ravines on which the ride is set, the maximum drop is 95 feet (29 m). Reaching a maximum speed of 55 mph (88.5 km/h), the ride takes 108 seconds to complete its circuit. An interesting feature of the Thunderbolt is that after departing from the station, the train does not immediately go up the lift hill as on most other coasters. Instead, it immediately goes into the first drop and the lift hill is in the middle of the ride after the second drop. Most of the ride was left intact except for the double dip, station, and station turn-around to the first hill which were removed in 1968 for the addition of the new front helix hills necessary for the transformation of The Pippin into the new Thunderbolt roller coaster. The four drops down a ravine were incorporated in the Andy Vettel-designed Thunderbolt coaster. The Thunderbolt was rated the #1 roller coaster by the New York Times in 1974, and it still is the most popular ride at Kennywood. The Thunderbolt still uses the 1958 Pippin trains manufactured by the National Amusement Device Company, known as \"Century Flyers.\"

Rhadine persephone is a rare species of beetle known by the common name Tooth Cave ground beetle. It is endemic to Texas in the United States, where it occurs in a network of caves outside Austin. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States. This troglobite is a reddish brown beetle about 7 or 8 millimeters long. Its eyes are rudimentary. It lives on the silt on the cave floors, where it runs around seeking food. It digs up and consumes cricket eggs. This beetle has been found at 54 locations in karst caves in Travis and Williamson Counties in Texas; three of these locations have since been destroyed. The beetle's survival is threatened by the destruction of its cave habitat, the degradation of the caves by pollution and garbage, and the invasion of fire ants.

The 2013 Wimbledon Championships was a tennis tournament played on outdoor grass courts. It was the 127th edition of the Wimbledon Championships and the third Grand Slam event of the year. It took place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, and ran from 24 June to 7 July. It consisted of events for professional players in singles, doubles and mixed doubles play. Junior and wheelchair players also took part in singles and doubles events as well as retired players in invitation doubles. Roger Federer and Serena Williams were the defending champions in singles events, but neither was able to repeat their success. Federer was eliminated in the second round by Sergiy Stakhovsky and Williams lost in the fourth round to Sabine Lisicki. This marked the first time since 1927 in which both defending champions were eliminated before the quarter-finals. Federer and Williams were two of a number of big-name casualties in the early rounds, along with two-time champion Rafael Nadal, two-time semi-finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 2004 champion Maria Sharapova and former World No. 1s Victoria Azarenka, Ana Ivanovic, Lleyton Hewitt, Caroline Wozniacki and Jelena Janković. Andy Murray became the first man from Great Britain to win the singles title since Fred Perry in 1936. Marion Bartoli won the women's singles title. Bob and Mike Bryan completed the \"Bryan Slam\" and became the first team to hold all four Grand Slams and the Olympic Gold at the same time.

Dunluce Castle (from Irish: Dún Libhse) is a now-ruined medieval castle in Northern Ireland. It is located on the edge of a basalt outcropping in County Antrim (between Portballintrae and Portrush), and is accessible via a bridge connecting it to the mainland. The castle is surrounded by extremely steep drops on either side, which may have been an important factor to the early Christians and Vikings who were drawn to this place where an early Irish fort once stood.
