Cracked was an American humor magazine. Founded in 1958, Cracked proved to be the most durable of the many publications to be launched in the wake of Mad magazine. In print, Cracked conspicuously copied Mad's layouts and style, and even featured a simpleminded, wide-cheeked mascot named Sylvester P. Smythe on its covers (see Alfred E. Neuman). The Smythe character was referred to as Cracked's janitor. Unlike Neuman, who appears primarily on covers, Smythe sometimes spoke and was frequently seen inside the magazine, interacting with parody subjects and other regular characters. A 1998 reader contest led to Smythe finally getting a full middle name: \"Phooey.\" An article on Cracked.com, the website which adopted Cracked's name after the magazine perished, joked that the magazine was \"created as a knock-off of Mad magazine just over 50 years ago\", and it \"spent nearly half a century with a fan base primarily comprised of people who got to the store after Mad sold out.\" Cracked's publication frequency was reduced in the 1990s, and was erratic in the 2000s. In 2006, the magazine was revived with a new editorial formula that represented a significant departure from its prior Mad style. The new format was more akin to \"lad\" magazines like Maxim and FHM. The new formula, however, was unsuccessful and Cracked again canceled its print magazine in February 2007 after three issues. Later that year, the brand was carried over to a website, Cracked.com, now owned by E.W. Scripps. | Work | PeriodicalLiterature | Magazine |
Omneya Abdel Kawy (Arabic: أمنية عبد القوي; born 15 August 1985, in Cairo) is an Egyptian professional squash player. Omneya won the World Junior Championship in Egypt 2003. Omneya crowned a sparkling junior career in 2003 in her home city of Cairo when she lifted the World Junior title after having been the runner up to Nicol David in 1999 and 2001. Such was her precocious talent that she was already competing on the WISPA Tour in her mid teens. Her success has been amply evidenced by her having already reached a high of seven in the world rankings earlier in 2005. The highlight of 2005 was reaching match ball against world number one Rachael Grinham in the final of the Hurghada International in her home country though she eventually lost the match. She also reached another two finals, in Greenwich and Dayton, both in the United States, and finished as a runner up. Omneya then won the Marsh McLennan title by beating Vicky Botwright. Since then she has continued to be a threat to all the top players, her astute tactical brain and range of shots causing problems to everybody she meets. 2006 saw Omneya avenged the Hurghada loss the previous year when she turned the tables in a pulsating Hurghada final to win the event in front of ecstatic home supporters. Recently, she won the 2007 EBS Dayton Open by beating Jaclyn Hawkes of New Zealand with a score of 9–5, 9–5, 3–9 and 9–5. | Agent | Athlete | SquashPlayer |

The green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as common iguana or American iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. It is native to Central, South America, and the Caribbean. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area, from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico and the Caribbean Islands. They have been introduced from South America to Puerto Rico and are very common throughout the island, where they are colloquially known as \"Gallina de palo\" and considered an invasive species; in the United States feral populations also exist in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. An herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 metres (6.6 ft) with bodyweights upward of 20 pounds (9.1 kg). Commonly found in captivity as a pet due to its calm disposition and bright colors, it can be very demanding to care for properly. Space requirements and the need for special lighting and heat can prove challenging to an amateur hobbyist. | Species | Animal | Reptile |
Millers Ferry Lock and Dam is a lock and hydroelectric dam on the Alabama River, near the community of Millers Ferry, Alabama. It was built by and continues to be operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Construction of the complex began in 1963 and was completed in 1974. The Millers Ferry Powerhouse came on line in 1970 and has a generating capacity of 90 megawatts. Following a history of machinery problems and failures, major repair work on the power station was authorized in 1996. Millers Ferry Lock and Dam impounds the William \"Bill\" Dannelly Reservoir. The reservoir covers 27 square miles (70 km2) and has approximately 500 miles (800 km) of shoreline. Beginning in the spring of 2009, the Corps of Engineers began opening the dam's locks for a few hours each day in order to restore access to inland waters for migratory marine fish. Fish sampling in the lock is being conducted in order to determine which species are making use of the opening in order to refine the timing. | Place | Infrastructure | Dam |

Francis recorded the song April 15 1959 in a session at Metropolitan Studio (NYC) produced and conducted by Ray Ellis. Veteran guitarist George Barnes contributed a solo to the track. To provide a contrasting B-side for the upbeat track, a ballad from the same session: \"Frankie\", was utilized. This Howard Greenfield/ Neil Sedaka composition was inspired by Frankie Avalon. \"Lipstick on Your Collar\" became the first uptempo Connie Francis single to reach the US Top Ten, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1959. That summer the track also reached No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart, and became Francis' first Top Ten hit in Australia at No. 4. It sold over one million copies in the US alone. \"Frankie\" also became a Top Ten hit in the US with a #9 peak making the \"Lipstick on Your Collar\"/ \"Frankie\" single the most successful double-sided hit of Francis' career. In a 1959 interview, Francis attributed her being the sole songstress then scoring rock and roll hits by saying: \"Rock 'n' roll is a masculine kind of music\" with its mindset of \"'Come on out baby we're going to rock'..[best] suited for a man to sing...The mistake that many girl singers have made is trying to compete with the men [whereas] I've tried for the cute angle in lyrics, things like 'Lipstick on Your Collar' and 'Stupid Cupid'.\" | Work | MusicalWork | Single |

Turner Broadcasting v. Federal Communications Commission, 512 U.S. 622 (1994), is the first of two United States Supreme Court cases dealing with the must carry rules imposed on cable television companies. Turner Broadcasting v. Federal Communications Commission (II), 520 U.S. 180 (1997) was the second. Turner I established that cable television companies were indeed First Amendment speakers but didn't decide whether the federal regulation of their speech infringed upon their speech rights. In Turner II the court decided that the must carry provisions were constitutional. Under the Miami Herald v. Tornillo case, it was unconstitutional to force a newspaper to run a story the editors would not have included absent a government statute because it was compelled speech which could not pass the strict scrutiny of a compelling state interest being achieved with the least restrictive means necessary to achieve the state interest. However, under the rule of Red Lion the High Court held that a federal agency could regulate broadcast stations (TV and Radio) with far greater discretion. In order for federal agency regulation of broadcast media to pass constitutional muster, it need only serve an important state interest and need not narrowly tailor its regulation to the least restrictive means.

Ctenopteris is a defunct genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae. The name is derived from two Greek words: ktenos, \"comb\", and pteris, \"fern\". The name \"Ctenopteris\" can no longer be used because its type species, Ctenopteris venulosa has been transferred to Prosaptia. Because Ctenopteris is polyphyletic, some of its species were not transferred to Prosaptia with the type species. For these, the name Ctenopteris has been used provisionally, pending their reassignment to other genera. Edwin Bingham Copeland wrote extensively on Ctenopteris in the 1940s and 1950s. As he defined it, the genus was broadly distributed in the southern hemisphere including Australia, New Zealand, southern Asia and southern Africa. | Species | Plant | Fern |
The Old Rep is a theatre located in Station Street in Birmingham, England, managed by Birmingham Ormiston Academy, with the theatre's technical department wholly run by Birmingham Ormiston Academy also. The Old Rep theatre was built as a permanent home for Barry Jackson's increasingly well established amateur theatre group, The Pilgrim Players, later known as The Birmingham Repertory Company. Barry Jackson funded the construction of the theatre, and established his, by now, professional company there. It was the original home of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and was the first purpose-built repertory theatre in the UK. It was the creation of Barry Jackson in collaboration with the architect S. N. Cooke, a colleague from the Birmingham School of Art. Both Jackson and Cooke took inspiration from the democratic nature of theatres they had visited in Germany. The design of The Old Rep was particularly influenced by Max Littmann's 1908 Künstlertheater in Munich. Building on a small footprint between Station Street and Hinckley Street meant that the auditorium had to be steeply raked. This feature added to the experience of audience members as no view of the stage was obstructed. Construction began in October 1912. Built day and night for four months, it was opened on 15 February 1913 with a performance of Twelfth Night, preceded by a reading by its founder, Barry Jackson, of the poem The Mighty Line written by John Drinkwater. When completed it had a seating capacity of 464. Many of the current features are original from the theatre's first opening. It was one of the UK's premier theatre venues and many great stars have walked the boards. There is still an original mirror from the opening of the Old REP just before you walk on stage. Now seating 383, the theatre stages shows from many small scale touring companies and several local amateur drama companies. In 2014 Birmingham Ormiston Academy took over the management of the theatre after a cut in funding from Birmingham City Council. The Old Rep continues to operate as before, but is also used by the school for teaching performance and back-stage skills. The theatre is situated just opposite New Street Station, from which a blue plaque, above the theatre's first floor windows, to Barry Jackson may be seen. Two doors to the west of the theatre is Britain's oldest working cinema, the Electric Cinema. | Place | Venue | Theatre |

The members of the 5th General Assembly of Newfoundland were elected in the Newfoundland general election held in 1852. The general assembly sat from 1853 to 1855. John Kent was chosen as speaker. Ker Baillie-Hamilton served as civil governor of Newfoundland. Although Baillie-Hamilton was opposed to any change in the colony's system of government, in March 1854, Philip Francis Little and Robert John Parsons, with the support of Joseph Hume, were able to persuade the secretary of state for the colonies, the Duke of Newcastle, to grant responsible government to the colony.

Elk Lake is located in Antrim and Grand Traverse counties in Northern Michigan. The lake is about a mile and a half wide (2.4 km) and nine miles (14 km) long, and is centered at 44°51′N 85°23′W / 44.850°N 85.383°W near the town of Elk Rapids. It has maximum depth of 192 ft (59 m), making it Michigan's second deepest after Torch Lake. It is a popular lake for fishing, featuring lake trout, rock bass, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, muskellunge, ciscoes, brown trout, rainbow trout, and whitefish. This deep, clear, caribbean-colored lake is very much a smaller version of the more famous Torch Lake, which lies just to the east. Elk Lake is part of a watershed that begins in northern Antrim County with Intermediate Lake, which is connected by the Intermediate River with Lake Bellaire. The Grass River flows from Lake Bellaire into Clam Lake, which in turn drains into Torch Lake via the short Clam River. Torch Lake is drained by the Torch River, which flows into Lake Skegemog, which opens into Elk Lake. Elk Lake flows through Elk River into the east arm of Grand Traverse Bay at Elk Rapids. This watershed is popularly known as the Chain of Lakes. Nearby is a sign marking the 45th parallel north, halfway between the North Pole and the Equator. This is one of six Michigan sites and 29 places in the U.S.A. where such signs are known to exist. | Place | BodyOfWater | Lake |

3752 Camillo is an Apollo asteroid with a perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) of 0.99 AU and an orbital period of 614 days (1.68 years). It has a well determined orbit with an observation arc of almost 40 years and an uncertainty parameter of 0. The asteroid was discovered on August 15, 1985 by Eleanor F. Helin and Maria A. Barucci using a 0.9-metre (35 in) telescope. Lightcurve studies by Pravec in 1998 suggest Camillo has an elongated shape with a diameter of about 2.3 km and takes 38 hours to rotate. The closest point between the orbit of the Earth and the orbit of Camillo (Earth MOID) is currently 0.07955 AU (11,901,000 km; 7,395,000 mi) so Camillo does not come close enough to Earth to qualify as a potentially hazardous asteroid. Camillo came to perihelion on 1976-Jan-06 and on 1976-Feb-17 Camillo passed 0.08013 AU (11,987,000 km; 7,449,000 mi) from Earth. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |
2014 Vasilevskis, provisional designation 1973 JA, is a stony Phocaean asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 2 May 1973, by American astronomer Arnold Klemola at the U.S. Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, California. The stony S-type asteroid is a member of the Phocaea family, a group of asteroids with similar orbital characteristics, named after the family's namesake, 25 Phocaea. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.7–3.1 AU once every 3 years and 9 months (1,359 days). Its orbit has a typically high eccentricity of 0.29 and an inclination of 21° with respect to the plane of the ecliptic. No precoveries were taken prior to its discovery. In May 2014, a photometric light-curve analysis by Robert Stevens at the U.S. Center for Solar System Studies (CS3), California, rendered a rotation period of 32.16±0.02 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.26 in magnitude (U=3-). Alternative measurements also made in 2014, include an observation by astronomer René Roy, which rendered a period of 39±2 hours with an amplitude of 0.31 in magnitude (U=2), and an analysis at the U.S. Burleith Observatory in Washington DC, with a period of 15.6±0.1 hours, or 49% of the first period (U=2-). According to the space-based surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures 11.8 and 9.1 kilometers with a surface albedo of 0.265 and 0.451, respectively. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo 0.23 – derived from 25 Phocaea, the principal body of its orbital family – and calculates a diameter of 9.6 kilometers. The minor planet was named after astronomer Stanislavs Vasilevskis (d. 1988), long-time staff member at the discovering Lick Observatory from 1949 to 1974. A specialist for astrometric instrumentation, in particular the computational analysis of the position of astronomical objects from photographic plates, he has also performed broad astronomical surveys to obtain the parallax and proper motion of stars.

The Bulgarian–Serbian wars of 917–924 (Bulgarian: Българо–сръбски войни от 917–924) were a series of conflicts fought between the Bulgarian Empire and the Principality of Serbia as a part of the greater Byzantine–Bulgarian war of 913–927. After the Byzantine army was annihilated by the Bulgarians in the battle of Achelous, the Byzantine diplomacy incited the Principality of Serbia to attack Bulgaria from the west. The Bulgarians easily dealt with that threat and replaced the Serbian prince with a protégé of their own. In the following years the two empires competed for control over Serbia. In 924 the Serbs rose again, ambushed and defeated a small Bulgarian army. That turn of events provoked a major retaliatory campaign that ended with the annexation of Serbia in the end of the same year. | Event | SocietalEvent | MilitaryConflict |

\"Sámiid ædnan\" (English: \"Sami Earth\", Norwegian: \"Sameland\", describing the motherland of Lapland) was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980, performed by Sverre Kjelsberg and Mattis Hætta. The song is sometimes described as being in the Sami language, however this is not correct. The words of the song were performed in Norwegian by Sverre Kjelsberg, while Mattis Hætta contributed with the yoik chorus - a Sami form of vocal music without words; the title of the song is however in one of the North-Norwegian Sami dialects, translating as \"Sami Earth\" or \"Sami Soil\". The song is inspired by the autonomy movement among the Sami people of northern Norway, with the duo singing that the demand for autonomy was made in a very subdued manner. Mention is also made of the traditional music of the region, the yoik, which is described as being \"stronger than gunpowder\" in the lyrics. The line \"framførr tinget der dem satt, hørtes joiken dag og natt\" (in front of the parliament where they sat, the yoik was heard day and night), refers to a hunger strike by Sami activists in front of the Norwegian parliament building in October 1979 in connection with the Alta controversy, where Mattis Hætta first performed the yoik that constituted the song’s chorus. The song was performed eleventh on the night, following Finland's Vesa-Matti Loiri with \"Huilumies\" and preceding Germany's Katja Ebstein with \"Theater\". At the close of voting, it had received 15 points, placing 16th in a field of 19.
