# Rømerhus Rømerhus (formerly Hafniahus) is a building in Aarhus, Denmark in the historic Indre by neighborhood on Skt. Clemens Torv near Store Torv. The building was erected in 1895 by designs of the architect Sophus Frederik Kühnel in a historicist style drawing inspiration from the Italian Renaissance. Rømerhus is located on one of the busiest pedestrian streets in Aarhus and has through its existence primarily been used for commercial purposes. ## History Construction of Rømerhus was completed in 1895. Ownership at the time of construction is not known but the first tenants included the company Crome & Goldschmidts Fabriker which opened a small factory and store on the ground floor facing Skt. Clemens Torv. The company had been founded in Horsens in 1860 with prisoners from Horsens Straffeanstalt (Horsens Penitentiary) as the main source of labor. The store in Rømerhus was the first branch outside Horsens. Another tenant was Johannes Neye who opened a branch of his leather- and gallantry store NEYE in the building on the side facing Skt. Clemens Stræde and Skt. Clemens Torv. NEYE was up to 2015 the second-oldest store on the pedestrian shopping street Strøget, after the store Buus on the corner of Ryesgade and Sønder Allé. On 15 January 1918 Rømerhus was bought by the bank Jyllandsbanken which stayed in the building for 10 years until it left and sold it to the insurance company Hafnia for 625.000 kroner in 1928. The building was renamed to Hafniahus (Hafnia House). In 1984 Hafnia bought another property, the Regina building on Søndergade, which it also named Hafniahus. Having two buildings named Hafniahus proved confusing so after 56 years it was changed back to the original name Rømerhus. In 2011 the company Bestseller bought the building and contracted the architect firm E+N Arkitektur A/S for a large renovation project aimed at bringing Rømerhus back to its original state. ## Architecture Rømerhus is a four-winged building with a revivalist design drawing inspiration from French and Italian Renaissance architecture. The midsection of the building features a large dome which is thought to draw inspiration from Magasin du Nord's building in Copenhagen. The architect on the project was Sophus Frederik Kühnel who worked on some other significant historicist works in Aarhus such as Mejlborg from 1898 and Business- and Agricultural Bank of Jutland from 1900. The registered constructor on the project is the mason A.I. Petersen. The building is one of four large and notable corner buildings that was constructed to frame St. Clemens Bridge and Aarhus Municipal atlas notes it as the first city block structure in the city. It was built on difficult terrain with large height differences - there are six stories towards Åboulevarden but just 4 stories facing Skt. Clemens Torv. The Bestseller renovation starting in the 2015 aims to bring Rømerhus back to its original expression. Among other things this will entail putting a spire back on the dome, removing the bay windows and returning the color scheme to the original.

# Maryculter House Maryculter House is a historic house in the village of Maryculter, or Kirkton of Maryculter, in the Lower Deeside area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. ## History Lying along both banks of the River Dee, the Lands of Culter originally included the parishes of Peterculter and Maryculter. These were in the jurisdiction of the monks of Kelso. However, about the year 1187, William the Lion granted the portion of the Culter lands on the south bank of the river to the Knights Templar. Between 1221 and 1236 Walter Byset, Lord of Aboyne, founded the Preceptory or College of the Knights Templar on the site of Maryculter House Hotel. The barrel-vaulted basement of the house is said to have formed part of the Preceptor's Lodging. The Templars also built a chapel. This became the parish church in 1535, was abandoned in 1782 and is now a fragmentary ruin, the only architectural feature surviving being the piscina built into the south wall. The chapel and surrounding graveyard are a Scheduled monument. The chapel was replaced as the parish church by Maryculter Trinity Church. The Templars were suppressed around 1309 but their lands and the parish church remained in the hands of the Knights Hospitaller until 1563/64. From 1535 to 1811 Maryculter House was first rented and then owned by the Menzies family of Pitfodels, Aberdeen, though another source says it was owned by the Lindsay family until 1726. In 1811, Maryculter was bought by General William Gordon of Fyvie, and the Gordon family owned the estate until the death of Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon in 1931 led to the sale of the property in 1935. The estate was broken up and the home-park was bought by the City of Aberdeen Boy Scouts' Association to create Templars' Park Scout Campsite. Alterations to the house took place in 1936. The building is now a hotel, previously the Deeside Hotel and now Maryculter House Hotel. It is a Historic Environment Scotland Category B Listed building. ## Bibliography - Nicol, Norman D (1999) Maryculter in the Eighteenth Century: Lairds, Kirk and People in a Lower Deeside Parish 57°05′23″N 2°15′32″W / 57.0897°N 2.2590°W

# Vought SB2U Vindicator The Vought SB2U Vindicator is an American carrier-based dive bomber developed for the United States Navy in the 1930s, the first monoplane in this role. Vindicators still remained in service at the time of the Battle of Midway, but by 1943, all had been withdrawn to training units. It was known as the Chesapeake in Royal Navy service. ## Design and development In 1934, the United States Navy issued a requirement for a new Scout Bomber for carrier use, and received proposals from six manufacturers. The specification was issued in two parts, one for a monoplane, and one for a biplane. Vought submitted designs in both categories, which would become the XSB2U-1 and XSB3U-1 respectively. The biplane was considered alongside the monoplane design as a hedge against the U.S. Navy's reluctance to pursue the modern configuration. The XSB2U-1 was of conventional low-wing monoplane configuration with a retractable conventional tailwheel landing gear, the pilot and tail gunner being seated in tandem under a long greenhouse-style canopy. The fuselage was of steel tube construction, covered with aluminum panels from the nose to the rear cockpit with a fabric-covered rear fuselage, while the folding cantilever wing was of all-metal construction. A Pratt & Whitney R-1535 Twin-Wasp Junior radial engine drove a two-blade constant-speed propeller, which was intended to act as a dive brake during a dive bombing attack. The use of propeller braking was not entirely successful, and in practice US Navy Vindicators lowered the aircraft's undercarriage to act as a speed brake and dived at shallower angles. A single 1,000 lb (450 kg) bomb could be carried on a swinging trapeze to allow it to clear the propeller in a steep dive, while further bombs could be carried under the wings to give a maximum bombload of 1,500 lb (680 kg). The SB2U was evaluated against the Brewster XSBA-1, Curtiss XSBC-3, Great Lakes XB2G-1, Grumman XSBF-1 and Northrop XBT-1. All but the Great Lakes and Grumman submissions were ordered into production. Designated XSB2U-1, one prototype was ordered on 15 October 1934 and was delivered on 15 April 1936. Accepted for operational evaluation on 2 July 1936, the prototype XSB2U-1, BuNo 9725, crashed on 20 August 1936. Its successful completion of trials led to further orders, with 56 SB2U-1s ordered on 26 October 1936, and a further 58 of a slightly modified version, the SB2U-2, on 6 October 1938. The SB2U-3 was a more heavily modified version, intended as a long-range scout bomber, capable of being fitted with a conventional wheeled undercarriage, for operations from aircraft carriers or land airbases, or with floats. To give the required increased range, the fuselage fuel tank fitted to the SB2U-1 and -2 was supplemented by integral wing tanks, while the aircraft's tail had an increased span. The prototype XSB2U-3, converted from the last SB2U-1, flew in February 1939, and after testing as both a landplane and floatplane, 57 SB2U-3s were ordered on 25 September 1939, mainly for the United States Marine Corps. The SB2U is prominently featured in the 1941 film Dive Bomber. There were 260 examples of all Vindicator variants produced, and a single surviving SB2U-2 is preserved at the National Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pensacola, Florida. ## Operational history ### U.S. Navy Deliveries to the U.S. Navy began in December 1937, when four aircraft joined VB-3 aboard the aircraft carrier Saratoga, replacing Curtiss BFC-2 biplanes. As well as Saratoga, Vindicators served on the carriers Lexington, Ranger, and Wasp. Air Group Nine, destined for Essex, trained in Vindicators aboard the escort carrier Charger, but they transitioned to the Douglas SBD Dauntless before Essex joined the war. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, seven Vindicators from the U.S. squadron VMSB-231 were destroyed at Ewa Field. ### U.S. Marine Corps VMSB-231 and VMSB-241 were the only two USMC squadrons that fielded the Marine-specific SB2U-3 between March 1941 and September 1943. VMSB-241's Vindicators saw combat at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Airmen with experience in more modern aircraft spoke disparagingly of SB2Us as "vibrators" or "wind indicators" in their later combat assignments. Captain Richard E. Fleming piloted a SB2U-3 Vindicator in an attack on the Japanese cruiser Mikuma on 5 June 1942, for which he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. ### French Navy On 22 February 1939, France placed an order for 20 V-156-Fs for the carrier-based squadrons of the Aéronautique Navale (French Naval Aviation), with an order for 20 more V-156-Fs following in May 1939. Based on the SB2U-2, the V-156-F incorporated specific French equipment, included 7.5 mm (0.30 in) Darne machine guns and French radios, while the aircraft were fitted with dive brakes, as tested and rejected by the US Navy. The aircraft were delivered to France in crates and reassembled at Orly, with the first example flying in France on 6 August 1939. On the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, the French Navy decided that its only aircraft carrier, Béarn was too slow for operational service, and the ship's squadrons disembarked for land-based service. By mid-October 1939, the first escadrille, AB 1, had reequipped with the V-156-F, while a second escadrille, AB 3, was formed in November 1939. In March–April 1940, AB 1's pilots carried out successful deck-landing training aboard Béarn, and were declared carrier qualified. On 10 May 1940, on the opening day of the German invasion of France, all 12 of AB 3's aircraft were destroyed in a German air raid on Boulogne airfield. AB 1 was ordered up to Northern France from Hyères as a replacement, sustaining heavy losses while attacking bridges and German ground targets in Northern France, including seven aircraft shot down by Messerschmitt Bf 109s during an attack on a bridge over the Sambre–Oise Canal on 20 May 1940, and later that month provided air cover for the Evacuation of Dunkirk. AB 3, which had had its losses replaced by V-156-Fs taken out of storage, was deployed against the Italians following the Italian invasion of France on 10 June and on 14 June, four V-156s attacked the Italian submarine Gondar, which was unharmed. By the time of the Armistice, there were only a handful of remaining Voughts in French hands, and the type was phased out of service. ### Royal Navy France had placed an order for a further 50 V-156-Fs in March 1940, with delivery planned from March 1941. Following the defeat of France, this order was taken over by the British government for use by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, who named the aircraft the Chesapeake. The British required several modifications to the Chesapeake, including the additional fuel tank fitted to the SB2U-3, additional armor and heavier forward firing armament, with four rifle caliber machine guns replacing the single forward-firing Darne machine gun of the French aircraft. Fourteen Chesapeakes were used to equip a reformed 811 Naval Air Squadron on 14 July 1941 at RNAS Lee-on-Solent. The squadron, whose crews referred to the aircraft as the "cheesecake", intended to use them for anti-submarine patrols, and they were earmarked for the escort carrier HMS Archer. By the end of October that year, it had been decided that the Chesapeakes were underpowered for the planned duties and would not be able to lift a useful payload from the small escort carriers. Accordingly, they were withdrawn from 811 Squadron in November 1941 for use as training aircraft and the unit was re-equipped with the biplane Fairey Swordfish. ## Variants XSB2U-1 Single prototype, powered by a 750 hp (560 kW) R-1535-78 engine. SB2U-1 Initial production version powered by an 825 hp (615 kW) R-1535-96 engine, 54 built. SB2U-2 Same as SB2U-1 but with minor equipment changed, 58 built. XSB2U-3 Single prototype of the extended-range version with twin floats, converted from the SB2U-1.

Vindicators still remained in service at the time of the [[Battle of Midway]], but by 1943, all had been withdrawn to training units. It was known as the '''Chesapeake''' in [[Royal Navy]] service. ==Design and development== In 1934, the [[United States Navy]] issued a requirement for a new Scout Bomber for carrier use, and received proposals from six manufacturers. The specification was issued in two parts, one for a [[monoplane]], and one for a [[biplane]]. [[Vought]] submitted designs in both categories, which would become the '''XSB2U-1''' and [[Vought XSB3U|XSB3U-1]] respectively. The biplane was considered alongside the monoplane design as a hedge against the U.S. Navy's reluctance to pursue the modern configuration.<ref name="McKillop">{{cite web|last1=McKillop|first1=Jack|url=http://www.microworks.net/PACIFIC/aviation/sb2u_vindicator.htm|title=Chance-Vought SB2U Vindicator|website=microworks.net|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009020949/http://www.microworks.net/PACIFIC/aviation/sb2u_vindicator.htm|archive-date=2007-10-09}}</ref> The XSB2U-1 was of conventional low-wing monoplane configuration with a retractable conventional tailwheel [[landing gear]], the pilot and tail gunner being seated in tandem under a long greenhouse-style canopy. The [[fuselage]] was of steel tube construction, covered with [[aluminum]] panels from the nose to the rear cockpit with a fabric-covered rear fuselage, while the folding cantilever wing was of all-metal construction. A [[Pratt & Whitney R-1535]] Twin-Wasp Junior [[radial engine]] drove a two-blade [[constant-speed propeller]], which was intended to act as a [[dive brake]] during a dive bombing attack. The use of propeller braking was not entirely successful, and in practice US Navy Vindicators lowered the aircraft's undercarriage to act as a speed brake and dived at shallower angles. A single {{cvt|1000|lb}} bomb could be carried on a swinging trapeze to allow it to clear the propeller in a steep dive, while further bombs could be carried under the wings to give a maximum bombload of {{cvt|1500|lb}}.<ref name="AE p2-3">Green and Swanborough 1978, pp. 2–3.</ref><ref name="Wixey p64-5">Wixey 2000, pp. 64–65.</ref> The SB2U was evaluated against the [[Brewster SBA|Brewster XSBA-1]], [[Curtiss SBC|Curtiss XSBC-3]], [[Great Lakes XB2G]]-1, [[Grumman XSBF]]-1 and [[Northrop BT|Northrop XBT-1]]. All but the Great Lakes and Grumman submissions were ordered into production. Designated XSB2U-1, one prototype was ordered on 15 October 1934 and was delivered on 15 April 1936.

# Fuzzy electronics Fuzzy electronics is an electronic technology that uses fuzzy logic, instead of the two-state Boolean logic more commonly used in digital electronics. Fuzzy electronics is fuzzy logic implemented on dedicated hardware. This is to be compared with fuzzy logic implemented in software running on a conventional processor. Fuzzy electronics has a wide range of applications, including control systems and artificial intelligence. ## History The first fuzzy electronic circuit was built by Takeshi Yamakawa et al. in 1980 using discrete bipolar transistors. The first industrial fuzzy application was in a cement kiln in Denmark in 1982. The first VLSI fuzzy electronics was by Masaki Togai and Hiroyuki Watanabe in 1984. In 1987, Yamakawa built the first analog fuzzy controller. The first digital fuzzy processors came in 1988 by Togai (Russo, pp. 2–6). In the early 1990s, the first fuzzy logic chips were presented to the public. Two companies which are Omron and NEC have announced the development of dedicated fuzzy electronic hardware in the year 1991. Two years later, the Japanese Omron Cooperation has shown a working fuzzy chip during a technical fair. ## Bibliography - Ibrahim, Ahmad M. (1997). Introduction to Applied Fuzzy Electronics.

# One Hour of Girl Power One Hour of Girl Power (also known as Spice—the Official Video—Vol. 1) is a VHS production by the Spice Girls released in the spring of 1997. It shows various performances and all the music videos filmed until that point, as well as behind the scenes of the videos. On iTunes, a five-minute abridged version of the video was released as a bonus track with the Greatest Hits album. ## Summary One Hour of Girl Power shows private footage of the pre-fame Spice Girls arriving at a hotel in the United States in 1995, where they are seen running through the corridors in their robes and playing around by the pool (briefly singing the then yet to be released 'Love Thing' a cappella). Included on the video are the promotional video clips for their debut single, "Wannabe", as well as those for the following singles, "Say You'll Be There", "2 Become 1", "Mama" and "Who Do You Think You Are". The videos are interspersed with behind the scenes footage of the making of the videos, and a running commentary by the band. The video for "Who Do You Think You Are" appears in an alternate version, interspersed with behind the scenes footage featuring the 'Sugar Lumps', a Spice Girls spoof group made up of British celebrities Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Kathy Burke, Lulu and actress Llewella Gideon. The complete Sugar Lumps version was made to promote Comic Relief (Who Do You Think You Are was the Comic Relief single for 1997). Footage of the girls on promotional tours in America, Hong Kong and the UK make up the rest of the documentary portion of the video. The presentation concludes with an edited version of the Spice Girls' classic performance at the 1997 BRIT Awards, presented by Ben Elton. ## Sales The video was very successful at the time of its release, selling almost 500,000 copies in the UK between April and June to become the best-selling pop video in the UK ever. The video peaked at number one on the UK Video Charts, and was the fifth best-selling video of 1997. It was also successful in many other countries such as Japan and the US. In the US, the video was the 20th best-selling video of 1998. ## Track listing | No. | Title | Writer(s) | Director(s) | Length | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------- | ------ | | 1. | "Interviews and Footage with The Girls' Commentary" | | | | | 2. | "Wannabe" (music video) | Spice Girls Matt Rowe Richard Stannard | Johan Camitz | 3:55 | | 3. | "Say You'll Be There" (music video) | Spice Girls Eliot Kennedy Jon B. | Vaughan Arnell | 3:52 | | 4. | "2 Become 1" (music video) | Spice Girls Matt Rowe Richard Stannard | Big TV! | 3:52 | | 5. | "Mama" (music video) | Spice Girls Matt Rowe Richard Stannard | Big TV! | 3:33 | | 6. | "Who Do You Think You Are" (exclusive version[a]) | Spice Girls Andy Watkins Paul Wilson | | 3:40 | | Total length: | Total length: | Total length: | Total length: | 60:00 | Notes - ^[a] 1997 Brit Awards performance. ## Certifications | Region | Certification | Certified units/sales | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | --------------------- | | Canada (Music Canada) | 8× Platinum | 80,000^ | | France (SNEP) | 3× Platinum | 60,000* | | United Kingdom (BPI) | 13× Platinum | 650,000* | | * Sales figures based on certification alone. ^ Shipments figures based on certification alone. | | |

# Popover (GUI) A popover is a container-type graphical control element that hovers over its parent window. It can contain various other graphical control elements such as checkboxes, radio buttons, or list boxes. Like any container-type graphical control element, it is meant to group elements that belong together. Popover graphical control elements were introduced in GTK+ 3.12. Apple included popovers in their human interface guidelines. Popovers are in use on the web. Bootstrap has a component to create popovers, similar to those found in iOS. When hovering a link in Wikipedia, by default, there is a popup of page preview that is in a way popover: it includes a button and it has more content than in tooltip.

# 1994 Houston Oilers season The 1994 Houston Oilers season was the 35th season overall the Oilers played and their 25th with the National Football League (NFL), and was part of the 1994 NFL season. The Oilers missed the playoffs for the first time since 1986. Two notable losses the Oilers suffered were the trading of Warren Moon, the team’s longtime starting quarterback, to the Minnesota Vikings and the departure of defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, who was hired to coach the Arizona Cardinals. With Moon being replaced by career backup Cody Carlson and the defense left without its leader, the 1994 Oilers went into a tailspin despite returning several of their explosive offensive players such as Ernest Givins and Haywood Jeffires. The team started out with only one win in their first ten games, which led to head coach Jack Pardee and offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride being fired. Jeff Fisher, who had just joined the team that year as Ryan's replacement as defensive coordinator, was promoted to head coach. Carlson did not last the season as he suffered a series of injuries that proved to be career ending. Billy Joe Tolliver ended up making the most starts of any Oilers quarterback, losing all seven of his starts. Neither Tolliver, Carlson, or third quarterback Bucky Richardson threw for more than six touchdowns (Carlson only managed one in five starts) and Tolliver and Carlson threw more interceptions than touchdowns. Running back Gary Brown could not repeat his 1,000-yard total from the previous year, managing only 648. Givins, who had recorded nearly 900 receiving yards in 1993, fell to 521 in 1994 while seeing his receptions total drop to 35. Jeffires' numbers improved slightly, and he led the Oilers in receiving touchdowns with six, but he was not elected to the Pro Bowl as he had been in 1993. Slaughter, meanwhile, only caught two touchdowns, which was his lowest total to that point in his career. The offense finished last in the league in points scored and 26th in total yardage. The defense, which lost several of its key pieces from the previous season including its two leaders in sacks, also fell off. After giving up the fourth-lowest point total in 1993, the Oilers allowed a total of 352 points in 1994. Despite that, three players recorded at least six sacks with Lamar Lathon leading with 8.5. Darryll Lewis recorded five interceptions in his first full season as a starter, with fellow cornerback Cris Dishman getting four and returning one for a touchdown, and safety Marcus Robertson adding three of his own. The defense also managed to improve on their total yardage allowed from 1993, moving up from ninth in that category despite finishing near the bottom of the league in points allowed. When the season was over the Oilers stood at 2–14, tying their 1983 squad with the team’s fewest wins in a sixteen game season and the second-fewest overall, with the 1972, 1973, 1982 squads only winning once each season. The ten-game swing is the worst season-to-season drop in games won in NFL history, which would later be tied by the 2013 Houston Texans. Seven of their fourteen losses came by three points or fewer. Although the Oilers finished with the worst record that season, they did not receive the #1 pick in the 1995 NFL draft due to the entry of the expansion Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars into the league (under NFL rules, a new team is automatically granted the first pick in their first draft, unless they decide to give it up as the Panthers would do). However, the news was not all negative. With the high pick the Oilers chose Steve McNair, who would go on to become one of the franchise’s all-time great players. ## Offseason After having imploded in the playoffs against Kansas City in the 1993 playoffs, the Oilers traded longtime quarterback Warren Moon to Minnesota, leaving Cody Carlson as the starter for the 1994 season. Carlson, however, was severely injured early in the season and would eventually retire due to said injuries after the season. ### NFL draft | 1994 Houston Oilers draft | | | | | | | Round | Pick | Player | Position | College | Notes | | 1 | 26 | Henry Ford | Defensive tackle | Arkansas | | | 2 | 60 | Jeremy Nunley | Defensive end | Alabama | | | 3 | 101 | Malcolm Floyd | Wide receiver | Fresno State | | | 4 | 119 | Mike Davis | Cornerback | Cincinnati | | | 4 | 129 | Sean Jackson | Running back | Florida State | | | 5 | 157 | Roderick Lewis | Tight end | Arizona | | | 5 | 161 | Jim Reid | Offensive tackle | Virginia | | | 6 | 187 | Lee Gissendaner | Wide receiver | Northwestern | | | 6 | 194 | Barron Wortham | Linebacker | UTEP | | | 7 | 220 | Lemanski Hall | Linebacker | Alabama | | | Made roster | | | | | | ## Regular season ### Schedule | Week | Date | Opponent | Result | Record | Venue | Recap | | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------ | ---------------------- | ----------- | ------ | ----------------------------- | ----- | | 1 | September 4 | at Indianapolis Colts | L 21–45 | 0–1 | RCA Dome | Recap | | 2 | September 11 | at Dallas Cowboys | L 17–20 | 0–2 | Texas Stadium | Recap | | 3 | September 18 | Buffalo Bills | L 7–15 | 0–3 | Astrodome | Recap | | 4 | September 25 | Cincinnati Bengals | W 20–13 | 1–3 | Astrodome | Recap | | 5 | October 3 | at Pittsburgh Steelers | L 14–30 | 1–4 | Three Rivers Stadium | Recap | | 6 | Bye | Bye | Bye | Bye | Bye | Bye | | 7 | October 13 | Cleveland Browns | L 8–11 | 1–5 | Astrodome | Recap | | 8 | October 24 | at Philadelphia Eagles | L 6–21 | 1–6 | Veterans Stadium | Recap | | 9 | October 30 | at Los Angeles Raiders | L 14–17 | 1–7 | Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum | Recap | | 10 | November 6 | Pittsburgh Steelers | L 9–12 (OT) | 1–8 | Astrodome | Recap | | 11 | November 13 | at Cincinnati Bengals | L 31–34 | 1–9 | Riverfront Stadium | Recap | | 12 | November 21 | New York Giants | L 10–13 | 1–10 | Astrodome | Recap | | 13 | November 27 | at Cleveland Browns | L 10–34 | 1–11 | Cleveland Stadium | Recap | | 14 | December 4 | Arizona Cardinals | L 12–30 | 1–12 | Astrodome | Recap | | 15 | December 11 | Seattle Seahawks | L 14–16 | 1–13 | Astrodome | Recap | | 16 | December 18 | at Kansas City Chiefs | L 9–31 | 1–14 | Arrowhead Stadium | Recap | | 17 | December 24 | New York Jets | W 24–10 | 2–14 | Astrodome | Recap | | Note: Intra-division opponents are in bold text. | | | | | | | ### Game summaries #### Week 14 This ninth successive defeat for the Oilers has the unusual distinction of being the most recent NFL game as of 2019 during which both teams scored a safety, and one of only eight since at least 1940. ### Standings | AFC Central | AFC Central | AFC Central | AFC Central | AFC Central | AFC Central | AFC Central | AFC Central | | view talk edit | W | L | T | PCT | PF | PA | STK | | ----------------------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | | (1) Pittsburgh Steelers | 12 | 4 | 0 | .750 | 316 | 234 | L1 | | (4) Cleveland Browns | 11 | 5 | 0 | .688 | 340 | 204 | W1 | | Cincinnati Bengals | 3 | 13 | 0 | .188 | 276 | 406 | W1 | | Houston Oilers | 2 | 14 | 0 | .125 | 226 | 352 | W1 |

# Pilot (The West Wing) "Pilot" is the first episode of the American serial drama The West Wing. The episode aired on September 22, 1999 on NBC. ## Plot The White House staff is being called into work early to deal with the press fallout after President Josiah Bartlet has crashed his bicycle into a tree. As the staff try to perform damage control, it is revealed that Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman made a gaffe when, after provocation by Christian activist Mary Marsh on a recent televised debate, quipped "Lady, the God you pray to is too busy being indicted for tax fraud." Also, Deputy Communications Director Sam Seaborn spends an evening with Laurie (Lisa Edelstein), unaware that she's a call girl, and then tells Chief of Staff Leo McGarry's daughter, Mallory O'Brien, about it before he knows whose daughter she is. While Lyman and Marsh are discussing a proposed public debate on one of several religious wedge issues, President Bartlet enters and corrects one of the attendees on a theological point (namely, he quotes the First Commandment, settling a dispute on which one it is). He explains that he crashed his bicycle while distracted by anger after discovering that his granddaughter, after expressing herself as pro-choice during a magazine interview, was mailed a Raggedy Ann doll with a knife stuck in its throat. The doll was sent by an extremist group whose activities the attendees, to his displeasure, have not denounced. He tells them that not only will there be no debate, but that they will denounce the extremists publicly, and are barred from the White House until they do so. Bartlet implies to Lyman that he will be allowed to keep his job despite the gaffe. ## Reception In a retrospective, Brittany Frederick of CBR called it the best pilot in television history and giving it a 9/10 rating, citing the episode's character development and world-building. Steve Heisler of The A.V. Club gave the episode an A-, explaining that the episode "had [him] hooked almost instantly." Screen Rant's Amelia Brantley harbored ambivalent feelings, praising the writing, and Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford's acting, while opining that the episode "hasn't aged well" in multiple aspects. Under the Media Research Center, L. Brent Bozell III critiqued the episode and wrote that he felt it had promoted anti-Catholicism. ## Awards - The pilot was nominated for an ASC award.[2] ### Emmy Awards Won - Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series (recipients: Tony Fanning, Jon Hutman, and Ellen Totleben) - Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (recipient: Thomas Del Ruth, A.S.C.) - Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series (recipient: Thomas Schlamme) Nominated - Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series (nominee: Aaron Sorkin; "In Excelsis Deo," in the same category, won)

# Tam Tòa Church Tam Tòa Church (Vietnamese: Nhà thờ Tam Tòa) is a ruined Catholic church in Đồng Hới, central Vietnam. Built in the late 19th century, the church was destroyed by American bombing on February 11, 1965, during the Vietnam War. It has remained undisturbed as a war relic. ## History Tam Tòa parish is one of the oldest Catholic parishes in Vietnam with its roots dating back to the mid 17th century. There have been ongoing disputes between the government and the rebuilding of the church. The Diocese of Vinh and the Archdiocese of Huế have been trying to reclaim the church (what is left of it and its ground) since 1996 when it was taken back by the local government in an attempt to turn it into a war symbol of American aggression. Up until 1996, mass was celebrated weekly in front of the church's tower. In February 2009 after years of fruitless negotiation, 14 parish priests and Bishop Cao of Vinh Diocese decided to concelebrate mass on the property without obtaining permission. In July 2009 a rumor was spreading that the local government would build a tourist resort next to the church. Parishioners in response started building an altar and erecting a cross on the property. On July 21, the government sent in police to disperse the crowd gathering to continue its construction and protest. A dozen people were arrested and some were beaten by the police. The situation was made worse when the police attacked two priests from other parishes who went to Vinh Diocese to show support. The two are in critical condition. Some of the Vietnamese Catholics in Vietnam (about seven million, or 7% of the population) responded by holding vigil masses and silent protests all weekend long in central Vietnam. This is a direct challenge to the government. Even though the situation was viewed as conflict between the Catholic Church and the Vietnamese government by the rest of the country, the issue of confiscated land and the rights of land ownership have been a flashing point between government and the general public for years. Whether the Tam Tòa crisis will lead to changes in the government or force the government to take actions against those who challenge its authority remains to be seen.

# Greenfield School (West Allis, Wisconsin) The Greenfield School in West Allis, Wisconsin was built as a two-room school in 1887, but in an elegant Romanesque Revival style unusual for such buildings. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. ## History The first settlers in the area arrived in the 1830s to form a community then called Honey Creek, named for 13 beehives along the stream. In 1835 they built a one-room log schoolhouse on the site of the current Greenfield School on land donated by Reuben Strong, starting out with seven students. In 1861 they replaced that log schoolhouse with a one-room red brick schoolhouse. In 1887 the red brick school was replaced by the current elaborate building. It was designed by Herman P. Schnetzky, a 1.5-story building with walls of load-bearing cream brick. Its style is Romanesque Revival, with hallmarks being the rough stone of the foundation and the round-arched windows and entry door. Also striking are the grouped windows in the gables, the parapets on the gable ends, and the square bell tower with flared eaves. The new school had two classrooms instead of one. At this time, people were becoming aware of some of the shortcomings of one-room schools, and the two rooms let the teachers split the elementary grades by age to provide more age-appropriate instruction. Soon they split the rooms again to make four classrooms. A few years later, the school added a high school program, with the students studying physics, history, algebra, geometry, grammar, rhetoric, physiology, English history, the Constitution, arithmetic, and some studying bookkeeping and botany. The first high school students graduated in 1897. The building functioned as a school until 1923. After closing, it served as the School District Maintenance Department. Later it was used as a greenhouse, a Civil Defense office, and temporarily as offices of a hospital. About 1966 it was taken over by the West Allis Historical Society, restored, and put into use as the West Allis Historical Museum.

# Nicolaas Sebastiaan Aalbers Captain at sea Nicolaas Sebastiaan Aalbers (21 October 1772 – 26 July 1806) was a Dutch naval officer who served in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. As an officer in the Dutch States Navy, he served in the Dutch East Indies from 1789 to 1792 prior to the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars. Continuing to serve in the Batavian Navy, Aalbers returned to the East Indies in 1803 as part of a squadron under Vice-admiral Pieter Hartsinck. In late July 1806, he led a Dutch convoy which was defeated by the Royal Navy in the action of 26 July 1806, with Aalbers dying of wounds sustained during the battle. ## Early life Nicolaas Sebastiaan Aalbers was born on 21 October 1772 in Terborg, Gelderland. His parents were Berend Aalbers and Barta Meijerink Aalbers. He joined the Dutch States Navy in the late 1780s and in spring 1789 captained the brig Zwaluw as part of a squadron under Captain at sea A. H. C. van Staringh which set sail for the Dutch East Indies, arriving there in December. Over the course of the next year, Aalbers participated in military operations against the Bone State and helped to prevent an anti-Dutch rebellion from breaking out in Surakarta. He continued to serve in the Spice Islands until 1792, when Aalbers returned to Holland with van Staringh's squadron; as Zwaluw was by now too weak to make the return voyage, Aalbers sailed on board the ship Merkuur instead. He continued to serve in the Dutch navy when it was transformed into the Batavian Navy in 1795. ## Napoleonic Wars and death In 1803, Aalbers again returned to the Dutch East Indies as part of a squadron under Vice-admiral Pieter Hartsinck, captaining the 36-gun frigate Pallas. Promoted to captain at sea in 1804, he continued to serve in the East Indies when the Batavian navy was transformed into the navy of the Kingdom of Holland in mid-1806. In June of that year, Royal Navy forces under Rear-admiral Edward Pellew, having received information on Hartsinck's squadron and fearing that it could attack British trade routes in the region, began a campaign to destroy it. In late July, Aalbers led a convoy from the Maluku Islands which consisted of Pallas and the 24-gun corvette William under Captain at Sea P. Feteris acting as escorts for two East Indiamen, Victoria and Batavier. On 25 July, the convoy was spotted passing the Selayar Strait by lookouts from two nearby British warships, the 32-gun frigate HMS Greyhound under Captain Edward Elphinstone and the 18-gun brig-sloop HMS Harrier under Commander Edward Troubridge. Elphinstone immediately started to chase the Dutch convoy, with Aalbers responding by forming a line of battle and retaining close formation as his ships passed the Dutch-controlled ports of Bonthain and Balacomba on the Celebes coast. At around 21:00, Aalbers ordered his convoy to anchor 7 nmi (8.1 mi; 13 km) offshore and prepare for the British attack. Elphinstone, fearing Victoria might be a ship of the line, halted his advance and Greyhound and Harrier stopped to observe the Dutch convoy during the night, maintaining a position 2 nmi (2.3 mi; 3.7 km) windward of Aalbers' ships. At dawn, Greyhound's lookouts were able to ascertain that Victoria was a large merchantman rather than a warship and Elphinstone resumed the attack. Aalbers ordered his convoy to set sail shortly afterwards, his ships tacking away from the shore in line of battle ready for the British. However, in doing so Pallas drew ahead of the next ship in the line, creating a gap through which a British attack could be directed. At 05:00, Elphinstone raised French colours in an effort to confuse the Dutch and indicated that he wished to speak with Aalbers, who was not fooled; when Elphinstone opened fire on Pallas at close range at 05:30, the Dutch frigate immediately responded in kind. With the frigates engaged, Harrier cut between Pallas and Victoria, Troubridge ordering his ship's carronades to fire at Victoria and his men to fire muskets at Pallas's crew. Greyhound took advantage of the confusion Harrier's attack had created, passing Pallas's bow and raking her. As Pallas's damage and casualties mounted, Harrier joined the attack; a wounded Aalbers passed control over the ship to one of his lieutenants. Gunfire from the Dutch frigate gradually slackened, and finally stopped at 06:10 when she struck her colours from the ship's mast with over 40 casualties from a crew of 250, 50 of whom were inexperienced native recruits. The British also captured Victoria and Batavier, with William escaping. All three captured ships were taken over by British prize crews and brought to Port Cornwallis on South Andaman Island. Eight members of Pallas's crew were killed and a further 32 were wounded, including Aalbers and three lieutenants. Six of the Dutch wounded later died of their injuries, including Aalbers. British losses by contrast were light, with one man killed and eight wounded on Greyhound and just three wounded on Harrier. The Royal Navy subsequently took Pallas into service as HMS Makassar, and by the end of 1807 had all but destroyed Hartsinck's squadron. ### Citations 1. 1 2 3 4 5 Ministry of the Interior 1807, p. 1583. 2. ↑ Das 2016, pp. 176–177. 3. 1 2 3 4 James 2002, p. 251. 4. 1 2 3 Clowes 2022, pp. 386–387. 5. ↑ Syrett & Dinardo 1994. ### Bibliography - Clowes, William Laird (2022) [1900].

# Sidney Sager Sidney Sager (17 May 1917 – 3 December 2002) was an English composer, conductor and trombonist, best known for his music for television and radio. ## Biography ### Early life Born into a Jewish family in London's East End, he joined the British Army at the age of 14 as a band boy, and as a result of his natural ability was sponsored by the Army to study at the Royal College of Music. He is the younger brother of Terry Burns (born Mark Sager) the medical inventor and picture restorer. There is also a half-brother, Edward Tunnicliff (born Edward Sager), who now lives in North Norfolk. Sidney Sager's musical career was interrupted by the Second World War, during which he fought with the British Expeditionary Force in France and was evacuated from Dunkirk. Following a brief spell in England he was transferred to North Africa, where he served until the end of hostilities. He returned to civilian life as a musician, playing brass for some time for the Royal Opera at Covent Garden. ### Conductor During the 1950s he studied composition and conducting in Geneva, and shortly after his return to the UK moved to Bristol, where he conducted the BBC West of England Light Orchestra and founded the Paragon, the city's first symphony orchestra, which subsequently reformed as Bristol Sinfonia. ### Composer Sager was involved for many years with the BBC Wildlife Unit at Bristol, although he also wrote scores for drama on television and radio. He is perhaps best known for the music he wrote for children's drama while Director of Music at HTV West from 1976 to 1992. ### Television work - Expedition ins Unbekannte (1958) TV series by Hans Hass (West Germany) - Saturday Playhouse (TV Series); Haul for the Shore (1959), Devonshire Cream (1960) - Play for Today TV series; The Fishing Party (1972), Shakespeare or Bust (1973), Three for the Fancy (1974) - Children of the Stones (1977) TV series - King of the Castle (1977) TV series - Into the Labyrinth (1981) TV series One of the most well-remembered programmes he scored was The Best of Friends, starring John Gielgud, Wendy Hiller, and Patrick McGoohan as Sydney Cockerell, Laurentia McLachlan, and George Bernard Shaw respectively. This work was scored for string quintet modelled after Schubert. He also composed orchestral, band and choral works for festivals, often with children's themes (much like his television scores). In 1960 he wrote the score for Delilah The Sensitive Cow, a story written and narrated by his friend Johnny Morris, the television presenter, which was released as a record by Decca. #### Children of the Stones For Children of the Stones, Sager's combination of A cappella vocalizations fixated on a single, repeated Icelandic word ("Hadave"), along with its dissonant wordless counterpoint, made this score unique among children's programming. The vocals were provided by the Ambrosian Singers, featuring Lynda Richardson on the solo soprano line. The vocals were supplemented by electric guitar, bass guitar and percussion. The main theme of Children of the Stones is written on the acoustic scale, ambiguously fluctuating between a tonality of C and D major. A signature two-chord harmonic progression, Em9 to G/C, is heard throughout the seven-part series at key dramatic points. A secondary theme is treated in canon and is diegetic music, representing a hymn sung by the spellbound villagers in the story. This theme is later echoed in the guitar and bass when the main child protagonist, Matt, uses his latent psychometric abilities. The secondary theme also concludes the series in a light jazz arrangement, establishing a lighter tone before the final twist is revealed. The musical texture was the suggestion of producer Peter Graham Scott, who, while driving to Avebury to begin filming, had heard music by Krzysztof Penderecki on the radio. ### Marriage and children Sidney Sager married Naomi Burgess, who he met while working at the BBC in 1964. They have one child, Daniel.

In 1960 he wrote the score for Delilah The Sensitive Cow,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.45cat.com/record/dfe6617|title=Johnny Morris - Delilah The Sensitive Cow - Part 1|accessdate=27 July 2020|website=45cat.com}}</ref> a story written and narrated by his friend [[Johnny Morris (television presenter)|Johnny Morris]], the television presenter, which was released as a record by Decca. ====Children of the Stones==== For ''Children of the Stones'', Sager's combination of [[A cappella]] vocalizations fixated on a single, repeated Icelandic word ("Hadave"), along with its dissonant wordless [[counterpoint]], made this score unique among children's programming. The vocals were provided by the [[Ambrosian Singers]], featuring Lynda Richardson on the solo soprano line. The vocals were supplemented by electric guitar, bass guitar and percussion. The main theme of ''Children of the Stones'' is written on the [[acoustic scale]], ambiguously fluctuating between a tonality of [[C major|C]] and [[D major]]. A signature two-chord harmonic progression, Em9 to G/C, is heard throughout the seven-part series at key dramatic points. A secondary theme is treated in canon and is [[diegesis|diegetic]] music, representing a hymn sung by the spellbound villagers in the story. This theme is later echoed in the guitar and bass when the main child protagonist, Matt, uses his latent [[psychometric]] abilities. The secondary theme also concludes the series in a light jazz arrangement, establishing a lighter tone before the final twist is revealed. The musical texture was the suggestion of producer [[Peter Graham Scott]], who, while driving to [[Avebury]] to begin filming, had heard music by [[Krzysztof Penderecki]] on the radio. === Marriage and children === Sidney Sager married Naomi Burgess, who he met while working at the BBC in 1964. They have one child, Daniel. ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== * {{IMDb name|nm0756108}} {{authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Sager, Sidney}} [[Category:1917 births]] [[Category:2002 deaths]] [[Category:English composers]] [[Category:Alumni of the Royal College of Music]] [[Category:Composers from London]] [[Category:British Army personnel of World War II]] [[Category:20th-century British Army personnel]]

# Hermann, Freiherr von Soden Baron Hermann von Soden (16 August 1852 – 15 January 1914) was a German Biblical scholar, minister, professor of divinity, and textual theorist. ## Life Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 16, 1852, Soden was educated at the University of Tübingen. In 1881 he was appointed as the minister at Dresden-Striesen and in 1887 he became minister of the Jerusalem Church in Berlin. In 1889 he also became a privatdozent, a form of tutor, in the University of Berlin, and four years later was appointed as an extraordinary professor of divinity. He fought for a more presbyterian and democratic constitution in the congregations of the Evangelical State Church of Prussia's older Provinces. His grave is preserved in the Protestant Friedhof II der Jerusalems- und Neuen Kirchengemeinde (Cemetery No. II of the congregations of the Jerusalem's Church and the New Church) in Berlin-Kreuzberg, south of the Hallesches Tor. Soden introduced a new notation of manuscripts and also developed a new theory of textual history. He believed that in the 4th century there were in existence three recensions of the text of the New Testament, which he distinguished as K, H and I. After establishing the text of I, H and K, Soden reconstructed a hypothetical text, I-H-K, which he believed to have been their ancestor. He then tried to show that this text was known to all the writers of the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Soden died in a railway accident in Berlin on January 15, 1914. His descendant Wolfram von Soden became a noted Assyriologist. ## Works His most important book is Die Schriften des neuen Testaments, in ihrer ältesten erreichbaren Textgestalt / hergestellt auf Grund ihrer Textgeschichte (4 vols., Berlin: Glaue, 1902-1910); certainly the most important work on the text of the New Testament which had been published since Westcott and Hort's The New Testament in the Original Greek. Other works include: - Der Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Philipper, Freiburg i. Br., 1880. - Hebräerbrief, Briefe des Petrus, Jakobus, Judas, Freiburg i. Br., 1890. - Und was thut die evangelische Kirche? Erwogen angesichts der Reichstagswahlen, zumal in unseren Großstädten, 3rd. ed., Berlin: Nauck, 1890 (a pamphlet written during the campaign for the Reichstag election) - Die Briefe an die Kolosser, Epheser, Philemon; die Pastoralbriefe, Freiburg i. Br., 1891. - "Untersuchungen über neutestamentliche Schriften" in Protestantisches Jahrbuch für theologische Studien und Schriftkommentar, 1895–1897. - Palästina und seine Geschichte, sechs volkstümliche Vorträge, Leipzig, 1899. - Die wichtigsten Fragen im Leben Jesu, Ferienkurs-Vorträge Berlin, 1904. - Die Schriften des Neuen Testaments in ihrer ältesten erreichbaren Textgestalt hergestellt auf Grund ihrer Textgeschichte. 4 volumes, Berlin, 1902–1913. - Urchristliche Literaturgeschichte, die Schriften des Neuen Testaments, Berlin: Duncker, 1905. - Hat Jesus gelebt? Aus den geschichtlichen Urkunden beantwortet von Hermann von Soden, Berlin, 1910. He contributed to the 1903 Encyclopaedia Biblica and to the "Hand-Commentar zum Neuen Testament", several editions, started in 1855 by Heinrich Julius Holtzmann and Hans von Soden

HuggingFaceFW/finewiki sample

A uniformly randomized subset of HuggingFaceFW/finewiki, created to provide a smaller and more manageable dataset for analysis, fine-tuning, and benchmarking.

Overview

This sample includes Wikipedia articles from languages with more than one million pages. Sampling is performed uniformly at random instead of alphabetically to ensure unbiased representation.

Language Inclusion Criteria

Languages were selected based on page count and content quality. The dataset excludes:

  • Cebuano and Waray, due to page quality concerns
  • Egyptian Arabic, as standard Arabic is already included

For each selected language, 1 percent of the total articles were randomly chosen and shuffled.

Dataset Composition

From each language configuration, 1 000 pages were randomly selected to form an assorted configuration that aggregates samples from all languages.

Available Configurations

ar, de, en, es, fa, fr, it, ja, nl, pl, pt, ru, sv, uk, vi, zh, assorted
