The Battle of Ciudad Real was fought on 27 March 1809 and resulted in a French victory under General Sebastiani against the Spanish under General Conde de Cartojal. French 4th Corps (with attached Polish division under general Valance) had to cross the bridge over the Guadiana River which was defended by the Spanish corps of Count Urbina Cartaojal. Polish lancers of the Legion of the Vistula under colonel Jan Konopka charged through the bridge taking it by surprise, then outflanked Spanish infantry and attacked it from behind as the main French and Polish forces crossed the bridge, and attacked the Spanish front lines. The battle was over when undisciplined Spanish soldiers dispersed, and began to retreat in the direction of Santa Cruz.Józef Rudnicki, adjutant-major of the 4th Infantry Regiment of the Legion, described the battle in his diaries (spelling according to the original): \"as soon as the French regiments of the 4th Corps met our division, we rushed immediately toward the Consiegra and Cuidad-Real, before of which town we found the Spanish corps, waiting for us on good positions. We were outnumbered, but thanks to the rational orders of the general Sebastiani, in some od four hours on 27 March 1809 the Spaniards were defeated and dispersed. They were retreating in chaos toward Almagro, where the Order of Calatrava has its home, and toward the Santa Cruz de Mudela, and even further, into the Sierramorena Mountains.\" The Spanish corps lost some 2000 men killed or wounded and many more were taken prisoner. After the battle the count of Cartojal was deprived of command for incompetency, and replaced by general Venegas, hero of the Spanish War of Independence, and later the viceroy of New Spain.

CBC Radio 3 is a radio network that consists of two parts devoted to Canadian arts and music: a radio service which is available on Sirius XM Satellite Radio and streaming audio, and several daily and weekly podcasts from the CBC Radio 3 website. The audio stream is available from both CBC Music and from iTunes Radio, but geographical restrictions are in place to prevent access outside of Canada. The network evolved out of programming on CBC Radio 2, which also simulcasted the satellite network on Saturday and Sunday nights from its debut in December 2005 until March 17, 2007. Radio 3 is no longer heard on terrestrial radio, but is still available through its satellite radio and Internet operations. The French-language equivalent to CBC Radio 3 was Bande à part. The network plays a relatively freeform mix of indie music, including rock, pop, alternative hip hop, folk, country and electronic music. An article on Nerve.com, published in October 2006, called CBC Radio 3 \"possibly the world's best radio station\". CBC Radio 3 was nominated for a Webby Award in 2007 and previously won the award in 2003. The network's unofficial mascot for many years was Bucky, a cartoon creature with the body of a goose and the head of a deer. Bucky was primarily seen in the introduction to the network's weekly R3TV video podcast, and also lent his name to the network's annual year-end music awards.

Maurice Bourget, PC (October 20, 1907 – March 29, 1979) was a Canadian politician who was Speaker of the Canadian Senate from April 27, 1963 to January 6, 1966. Bourget was born in Lauzon, Quebec and played semi-professional baseball and softball in Levis as a young man. He trained as a civil engineer and practiced in Levis. A Liberal since the age of 19, Bourget was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal in 1940. Bourget and several other Quebec Liberal MPs had broken with their party the year before during the Conscription Crisis of 1944, quitting the Liberal caucus in order to oppose the government's decision to deploy National Resources Mobilization Act conscripts overseas. Previously, conscripts had only been used for \"home defence\" and kept within Canada. He ran and was re-elected as an \"Independent Liberal\" in 1945 defeating his only opponent, a Social Credit candidate. Bourget reconciled with the Liberal Party in the post-war period and was again elected as a Liberal in 1949 and was re-elected in subsequent elections until his defeat in 1962 due to an upsurge in support for the Social Credit party. As an MP, Bourget served as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly in 1951. From 1953 to 1957 he served as parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Public Works. He returned to parliament in 1963 when he was appointed to the Senate on the advice of the newly elected Liberal Prime Minister, Lester Pearson and was concurrently appointed Speaker of the upper house. As such, he also served as Joint Chairman of the Canadian delegation to the meeting of the Canada-U.S.A. Inter parliamentary Group at Washington in January 1964 and Joint Chairman of the Inter parliamentary Conference held in Ottawa in September 1965. Bourget stepped down as Speaker in January 1966 and was appointed to the Privy Council in February. He remained a Senator until his death in 1979.

Howard Dvorkin is a CPA, author, national columnist, and founder of the nation’s fourth-largest credit counseling agency. He has controversially advocated a cash-only lifestyle without credit cards. Dvorkin founded Consolidated Credit in 1993 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It earned an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau and eventually grew to be one to the largest counseling and consolidation firms, behind Money Management International, CredAbility, and GreenPath. Dvorkin has written two books: Credit Hell (Wiley, 2005) and Power Up (Wiley, 2013). He is a regular personal finance contributor to Fox Business and has been quoted as a financial expert by The New York Times, NBC News, CNN, and Bankrate, among other national media outlets. After watching his company’s clients struggle with credit card debt, Dvorkin concluded, “Learning to live without a credit card is an integral part of financial empowerment....It’s about cash and discipline. Those who don’t use credit cards take money much more seriously than credit card users. The act of physically handing over the dollars and cents to a cashier or waitress generates a feeling of loss.\" This opinion has stood in stark contrast to the ever-increasing U.S. consumers’ love of credit cards, and their increasing debt. In 2012, those consumers had an average 3.7 cards and an unpaid balance of over $5,600. Meanwhile, credit card debt totaled nearly $800 billion. Shocked at these numbers and U.S. consumers’ lack of financial education, Dvorkin announced in 2013 that he was stepping down as Consolidated Credit’s spokesperson to launch Debt.com, an educational and news site covering consumer debt with the goal to \"build an Angie’s List or a Better Business Bureau solely focused on debt, debt relief products, for all types of debt relief.\"

\"Hoots Mon\" is a song written by Harry Robinson, and performed by Lord Rockingham's XI. It was a number-one hit single for three weeks in 1958 on the UK Singles Chart. It is based on the old Scottish folk song \"A Hundred Pipers\". It was also one of the first rock and roll songs to feature the Hammond organ, which would become popular in rock and roll music the following year with Dave Cortez's \"The Happy Organ\". The record is mostly instrumental, punctuated by four stereotypical Scottish phrases: \n* \"Och aye\", an exclamation meaning \"Yes\" \n* \"Hoots mon\", an interjection usually meaning \"Hey man!\" \n* \"There's a moose loose aboot this hoose\" (\"There's a mouse loose about this house\"), a standard cliché highlighting Scots language pronunciation. \n* \"It's a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht.\" (\"It's a fine, bright moonlit night\") The author and journalist Benny Green played the tenor saxophone on the recording. The song was revived by Bad Manners. It was also used in a commercial for Maynards Wine Gums with the line \"There's a moose loose aboot this hoose\" changed to \"There's juice loose aboot this hoose\".

Episageceratinae is a subfamily of the Medlicottiidae, a family of prolecanitid ammonites. The Episageceratinae, proposed by Ruzhencev, 1956, is based on the genus Episageceras previously included in the subfamily Medlicottiinae and lived during Late Permian and Early Triassic times.So far only three confirmed genera are included: Episageceras, Latisageceras, and Nodosageceras. The type genus, Episageceras, named by Noetling 1904, is defined in the Treatise (L74) as like Medlicottia but with a broader shell and sutures with a smaller second lateral lobe. Latisageceras and Nodosageceras named by Ruzhencev 1956 are based on species of Episageceras. J.P Smith, 1932 (USGS PP 167) included Episageceras in the Pronoritidae (p. 36) as a subgenus of Medlicottia.

Thirty-two players from 14 nations competed in the event. The competition became embroiled in controversy during the group stage when eight players (two pairs from South Korea and one pair each from China and Indonesia) were ejected from the tournament by the Badminton World Federation after being found guilty of \"not using best efforts\" and \"conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport\" by playing to lose matches in order to manipulate the draw for the knockout stage. In one match, both teams made a series of basic errors, and in one match the maximum rally was just four shots.

General elections were held in Italy on June 14, 1987. This election marked the final inversion of the trend of the entire republican history of Italy: for the first time, the distance between the Christian Democrats and the Communists grew significantly instead of decreasing, and this fact was seen as the result of the deindustrialization of the country. The growth of the service sector of the economy, and the leadership of former PM Bettino Craxi, gave instead a new strength to the Socialists. A remarkable novelty was the rise of the new Green Lists, while a new party obtained its first two parliamentary seats: the North League.

2308 Schilt, provisional designation 1967 JM, is a stony Eunomia asteroid from the asteroid belt, approximately 17 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 6 May 1967, by Argentine astronomer Carlos Cesco together with American astronomer Arnold Klemola at the Yale–Columbia Southern Station at Leoncito Astronomical Complex in Argentina. The asteroid is a member of the Eunomia family, a large group of S-type asteroids and the most prominent family in the intermediate main-belt. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.1–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 1 month (1,486 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination of 14° with respect to the ecliptic. The asteroids observation arc begins with its discovery in 1967. However, the first (unused) precovery was already taken at Heidelberg Observatory in 1921. A rotational light-curve was obtained based on photometric observations at the Australian Oakley Southern Sky Observatory in August 2012. The light-curve showed a period of 9.759±0.002 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.44 in magnitude (U=3). A previous observation by Argentine astronomer Salvador Mazzone at the Observatorio Astronómico Salvador gave a similar period of 9.767±0.005 with an amplitude of 0.42 in magnitude (U=3-). According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, the asteroid measures between 13.8 and 17.6 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo in the range of 0.10–0.17. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.10 and a diameter of 17.5 kilometers. The minor planet was named after Dutch–American astronomer Jan Schilt (1894–1982), one of the founders of the discovering Columbia–Yale Southern Station in the early 1960s, for which he collaborated with local astronomer and with Yale's Dirk Brouwer, after whom the minor planet 1746 Brouwer is named. At Columbia University, Schilt's research included the dynamics and structure of galaxies, and improvements on measuring the brightness of stars. Naming citation was published on 11 December 1981 (M.P.C. 6531).

Bell's Weekly Messenger was a British Sunday newspaper that began publication on 1 May 1786, under proprietorship of John Bell. Initially a Sunday paper, from 1799 the London edition was reprinted on Monday for nationwide distribution. By 1803, it was selling 6,000 copies a week, at sixpence a copy. In 1799 there was even an augmented reprint of the previous year's editions, under the title Bell's Annual Messenger, printed for international distribution under the auspices of the East India Company. From its inception in 1799 the Monday edition carried information on agricultural markets in the U.K. Although Bell's Weekly Messenger began as a general weekly, after it acquired in 1832 Evans and Ruffy's Farmers' Journal it gave extensive coverage to agricultural affairs and was for many years the leading agricultural newspaper in the U.K. The newspaper continued under the title Bell's Weekly Messenger until March 1896, after which it was continued as Country Sport. In 1832 the first recorded British newspaper cartoon was published in Bell's New Weekly Messenger.

Polystichum whiteleggei is a fern in the Dryopteridaceae family. A former common name was Heavy Fern, alluding to the weight of one of the large, thick textured, fronds when fully developed. The specific epithet honours Thomas Whitelegge (1850–1927) of the Australian Museum, who collected zoological specimens on Lord Howe Island in 1887, who first noticed the fern’s distinctiveness.

Grgur Golubić (Serbian Cyrillic: Гргур Голубић, кесар Гргур; fl. 1347–61) was a Serbian nobleman who served Emperors Stefan Dušan (r. 1331–55) and Stefan Uroš V as kesar (caesar). He was the son of sevastokrator Branko Mladenović, and ruled the oblast (province) of Polog, in what is today northwestern Republic of Macedonia. Grgur was the second son of sevastokrator Branko Mladenović, the governor of Ohrid under Emperor Dušan (fl. 1346). His older brother was Nikola Radonja (d. 1399) and his younger brother was Vuk Branković (1345–1397). His cousin was magnate Nikola Altomanović (fl. 1348–76), whose mother Ratoslava was Grgur's paternal aunt. His grandfather was vojvoda Mladen (fl. 1323–26), who served kings Stefan Milutin (r. 1282–1321) and Stefan Dečanski (r. 1321–31), and was mentioned as having governed Trebinje and Dračevica in 1323. Grgur was first mentioned in March 1347, as a kesar, in a letter from Pope Innocentius VI to Emperor Dušan. Grgur is mentioned in charters authored by Dušan dating to 1348–54 of the Monastery of the Holy Archangels in Prizren, which point to that Grgur held a region around Prizren. Grgur and bishop Grigorije of Devol founded the Zaum monastery (Church of the Holy Virgin Zaumska, Bogorodica Zahumska) on Lake Ohrid near Zaum, to which he brought the cult of the Virgin of Zahumlje (hence its name).

In Greek mythology, Deidamia (/ˌdeɪdəˈmaɪə/; Greek: Δηϊδάμεια, Deidameia) is the daughter of King Lycomedes of Scyros. Deidamia was one of King Lycomedes's seven daughters with whom Achilles was concealed. Some versions of this story state that Achilles was hidden in Lycomedes's court as one of the king's daughters, some say as a lady-in-waiting under the name \"Pyrrha\". Despite the fact that Achilles and Deidamea could have been as young as eight years old, the two soon became romantically involved to the point of intimacy. After Odysseus arrived at Lycomedes's palace and exposed Achilles as a young man, Achilles decided to join the Trojan War, leaving behind a pregnant, heart-broken Deidamia. Their son, Neoptolemus, later joined his father in the Trojan War but was eventually killed by Orestes. It is also mentioned that Neoptolemus gave Deidamia in marriage to his ally Helenus. Ptolemy Hephaestion mentions that Achilles and Deidamia had another son, Oneiros, who was unwittingly killed by Orestes.

Rebecca Marjorie Proops OBE (formerly Rayle, née Israel; 10 August 1911 – 10 November 1996) was probably best known as an agony aunt in the United Kingdom, writing the column Dear Marje for the Daily Mirror newspaper. Proops was born in Woking, Surrey, as the elder daughter of Alfred (a publican) and Martha Israel (née Rayle). Alfred Israel later had the family name changed to Rayle. The family moved to London and Proops was educated at Dalston Secondary School. She excelled at English and art, and had a fine contralto voice. Her teachers, nevertheless, advised her against matriculation. Instead, she took a drawing course that enabled her to get a job in a studio near Smithfield. In 1935, she married Sidney Joseph Proops, with whom she had a son, Robert. In 1939, Proops became a journalist. Her first job was as fashion correspondent for the Daily Mirror. Following the death of the problem page editor, Proops was given the job of reading and answering her correspondence, and soon became the agony aunt herself, a post she held until her own death. As well as being an adviser, she used her column to campaign for numerous causes. One that she advocated for was the establishment of special \"suites\" for the treatment and interviewing of rape victims, to minimize the stigma of reporting such crimes. Her radio appearances included a guest spot on the BBC Radio 4 comedy programme Just a Minute. Her book Pride, Prejudice and Proops (Time Remembered) was published in 1975, followed by Dear Marje a year later. She was appointed OBE in 1969, awarded Woman of the Year in 1984, had a waxwork in Madame Tussauds in 1977 and in 1971 appeared on This is Your Life. In 2008 it was reported that a BBC documentary on her life was in production. Proops is buried at Golders Green Jewish Cemetery, in London, England.

The discography of UK-based pop-rock project Shakespears Sister consists of five studio albums, two compilation albums, 3 video albums, and 18 singles. Originally a solo act consisting of ex-Bananarama member Siobhan Fahey, it eventually evolved into a duo between Fahey and Marcella Detroit. They released their debut studio album Sacred Heart in 1989, which reached #9 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold by the BPI. The album's lead single, double A Side \"Break My Heart / Heroine\" did not chart, the second single however, \"You're History\", reached #7 on the UK Singles Chart, and managed similar top 20 success internationally. Their next three singles, \"Run Silent\", \"Dirty Mind\", and \"Goodbye Cruel World\" (the lead single from their second album Hormonally Yours), all failed to peak within the UK top 50. The second single from Hormonally Yours, \"Stay\" was the group's first and only #1, staying at the top position for 8 weeks. The song also reached #1 in Ireland and Sweden, and peaked within the top 5 in several other territories. Hormonally Yours peaked at #3 in the UK and was certified double platinum, and reached similar success in international territories. The fifth and final single from the album, \"My 16th Apology\" failed commercially due to both members being on hiatus at the time. Detroit left the group shortly afterwards in 1993. Fahey resumed as the sole full member of the group. \"I Can Drive\" was released as the lead single from Shakespears Sister's third album, #3, and peaked at #30 in the UK. Following this, they were dropped by their label, London Records, and #3 was only released in April 2005 through Fahey's website after London gave her the full rights to the album. Fahey was planning to release her own solo album at the time, which was preceded by three singles, \"Bitter Pill\", \"Pulsatron\", and \"Bad Blood\", which peaked at #108, #95, and failed to chart respectively. In 2004-05, two compilation albums were released, The Best of Shakespears Sister (composed mostly of hits and b-sides), and Long Live the Queens (composed entirely of b-sides, rarities, and unreleased material). Fahey revived the Shakespears Sister project in 2009, and released Songs from the Red Room, composed of her solo recordings. The group's fifth studio album, Cosmic Dancer, was released in 2011, also composed of Fahey's solo work, and acoustic work by the group. In 2013, Shakespears Sister released a three-part series of EPs through their website titled The Other Side... Demos and Rarities. The first and second EPs were both released in May 2013, the third was released in June 2013. Multiple projects due for release in 2014, including the EP Cherchez La Femme and re-releases of Sacred Heart and Hormonally Yours, have been delayed indefinitely.

Blessed Françoise d'Amboise (29 May 1427 – 4 November 1485) was a French Roman Catholic saint and a duchess consort of Brittany. She was born in the castle of Thouars. She was the daughter of the rich noble Louis d'Amboise, prince of Talmont and Viscount of Thouars, and Louise-Marie de Rieux. To escape from the violence of the times, she fled with her mother to the court of Brittany, which resided in Vannes and, later on, in Nantes. At the age of three she had been engaged to Peter, the second son of John V, Duke of Brittany, for political reasons. She married him at the age of fifteen, in 1442. In 1450, after the unexpected death of Pierre's elder brother, her husband came to rule Brittany as Pierre II. Françoise d'Amboise became the Duchess of Brittany and had a discrete but active share in governing Brittany. She came to help the poor and the sick. She had also a strong feeling about justice. Her husband died of a disease in 1457. She then entered into a conflict with King Louis XI who wanted to marry her. A widow without children, she founded, together with Jean Soreth, the first monastery of the Carmelites in France, in 1463. She took the veil in 1468, when entering the convent of the Three Maries at Vannes. She died in Nantes, at the monastery of the Carmelite nuns. In 1863, she was beatified by Pope Pius IX.

Saint Terence (Italian: San Terenzio) is the patron saint of Pesaro. According to tradition, he was from Pannonia and fled to the Adriatic coast to escape the persecution of Christians under Decius (ca. 250–51). His corpse was eventually thrown into a gorge near some hot springs (locally called acqua mala or acqua cattiva), near Pesaro. The place of his martyrdom was considered to be the area called the Apsella di Montelabbate, near the Abbey of San Tomaso in Foglia. This area contains sulphurous springs, and locally they are called the l'Acqua di S. Terenzio. An alternative tradition makes him the first bishop of Pesaro, and a native of the city, rather than a Pannonian layman. Early representations of Terence depict him as an aging bishop. However, later depictions show him as a young man in military dress, with the palm of martyrdom in one hand and a model of the city in the other, thus counting him amongst the “military saints.” Giovanni Antonio Bellinzoni da Pesaro (ca. 1415 – ca. 1477) depicts him this way.

He was of Afro-Mestizo descent, championed the cause of Mexico's common people, and abolished slavery during his brief term as president.
