Mémoires d'un jeune homme dérangé
|
Mémoires d'un jeune homme dérangé (lit. 'Memoirs of a deranged young man') is the debut novel of the French writer Frédéric Beigbeder, published in 1990.
Background
Beigbeder wrote Mémoires d'un jeune homme dérangé when he was 24 years old, after Denis Tillinac, then CEO of Éditions de la Table ronde, asked if he written any novel. According to Beigbeder, he quickly put together the notes that formed the basis for the largely autobiographical novel.
Plot
Marc Marronnier is a young man who parties a lot. He falls in love, which has negative consequences for him.
Reception
Roland Jaccard of Le Monde asked if Mémoires d'un jeune homme dérangé was "the most snobbish novel of the year?" and wrote that Beigbeder has written a "boy meets girl" story in a simultaneously "terse and incomplete style".

Cephalotes liepini
|
Cephalotes liepini is a species of arboreal ant of the genus Cephalotes, characterized by an odd shaped head and the ability to "parachute" by steering their fall if they drop off of the tree they're on. Giving their name also as gliding ants.Brazilian states of Goiás and Minas Gerais.Cephalotes, gives them their gliding abilities.
The species was first given a description and a classification in 1999 by Brazilian entomologist Maria de Andrade, after a specimen was found in Alvorada do Norte in the state of Goiás.
The species shares a number of physical traits with Cephalotes kukulcan, and the name liepini is an anagram of pinelii, as according to De Andrade, Cephalotes pinelii is a close relative to Cephalotes liepini.

Geneviève Raugel
|
Geneviève Raugel (27 May 1951 – 10 May 2019) was a French mathematician working in the field of numerical analysis and dynamical systems.
Biography
Raugel entered the École normale supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses in 1972, obtaining the agrégation in mathematics in 1976. She earned her Ph.D degree from University of Rennes 1 in 1978 with a thesis entitled Résolution numérique de problèmes elliptiques dans des domaines avec coins (Numerical resolution of elliptic problems in domains with edges).
Raugel got a tenured position in the CNRS the same year, first as a researcher (1978–1994) then as a research director (exceptional class from 2014 on). Beginning in 1989, she worked at the Orsay Math Lab of CNRS affiliated to the University of Paris-Sud since 1989.
Raugel also held visiting professor positions in several international institutions: the University of California, Berkeley (1986–1987), Caltech (1991), the Fields Institute (1993), University of Hamburg (1994–95), and the University of Lausanne (2006). She delivered the Hale Memorial Lectures in 2013, at the first international conference on the dynamic of differential equations, Atlanta.
She co-directed the international Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations from 2005 on.
Research
Raugel's first research works were devoted to numerical analysis, in particular finite element discretization of partial differential equations. With Christine Bernardi, she studied a finite element for the Stokes problem, now known as the Bernardi-Fortin-Raugel element.
In the mid-1980s, she started working on the dynamics of evolution equations, in particular on global attractors,perturbation theory, and the Navier-Stokes equations in thin domains.

NBA 2K Mobile

NBA 2K Mobile is a free to play basketball video game developed by Cat Daddy Games and published by 2K Sports, based on the National Basketball Association, and is a spin-off title of the NBA 2K series. It was officially released on November 19, 2018, for iOS and pre-register for Android.
Gameplay
In NBA 2K Mobile, there are no substitutes during the matches and the only players that can be used are the part of the starting lineup. The matches consist of 2 halves, which may vary depending on the game mode, and each half lasting two minutes.auto or manual.shoot the ball and attempt to block the opposing player's shot, but are unable to freely move around and the game will still play by itself.passing, and defending.NBA 2K, the players have infinite endurance allowing them to run and defend as much as needed. Many of the rules that apply in the NBA apply in NBA 2K Mobile, such as the 24-second shot clock and out-of-bounds.
Gamemodes
In NBA 2K Mobile modes such as Crews, Events, Tourneys, and Drills are in the Game. Crews is an offline blacktop mode where you can create a MyPlayer, and play a 3-on-3 match against other crews. Tourneys replaced the mode called Seasons, and is a mode where you play a series of best of 4 rounds, and is based on an NBA season, there are different playoff rounds, allowing you to earn different tiers of player cards.3v3s, and not basketball related like bench press and reaction time, and get rewards for doing them. Events allow you to play different types of gamemodes to get rewards.
Shooting
When the shoot button is pressed, a bar will appear. Several variables can affect the chance of the ball going in, including the player's rating, the distance from the defenders and the hoop, or timing the shot well by making the bar as filled as possible. If the bar turns yellow, that means that the ball has an increased chance of going in, if the bar turns green, then the shot is guaranteed to go in. The better the player's rating is, the easier it is to time the shot.
Defending

Defending
By starting the defend move, the defenders will automatically follow the players they are supposed to guard. If the guarded player passes the ball while the defend button is still pressed, then the defender will automatically switch to the new opposing player that has the ball. If the button wasn't pressed during the pass, the defender will stay with the original player. During the block, the defender will make a move and attempt to block his shot or make it more unlikely for the ball to go in. The taller the defender is, and the better the player's defensive rating is, makes it more unlikely for the opposing player to make the shot. After the steal, the defender will attempt to steal the ball from the opposing player. Sometimes the defender may foul the opposing player, and with enough fouls, the fouled player will shoot two free throws.
Power
Underneath the pictures of the player cards, you can see the power of the card. In the top left next to Team 2, you can see the team power.
Each player card has a certain amount of power based on its tier and type it belongs to. The average power of all cards on the player's team is the team's power. The team's power determines which opponents it will play against, which cards can be unlocked, and the rewards the player can get from events.
Gear
Points needed to unlock more attributes boosts for gear.
Gear is used to improve player's attributes. Each player can only have one gear, and different gears can only be specifically used for certain positions and/or teams. There are several different gear tiers, and the higher the tier, the more attributes it can improve. However, in order to be able to get the attribute boost for higher tier gear, the player needs to score a certain number of points with the player card that the gear is attached to, to be able to unlock all the attribute boosts.
Upgrading

Upgrading
There are currently 16 different tiers of the player cards, affecting the player's power. When there are several cards of the same tier, the player can choose which player card to upgrade. In order to be able to upgrade the card, they have to have the same star level as the card that is being upgraded. To upgrade the player card, the player can either use two different cards of the same tier and star level, or use the exact same card as the one being upgraded. When a card is being upgraded, the card/s used to upgrade the other card will be deleted, and will no longer be able to be used.
Training
You can see underneath the mentor, the attribute boosts, and the power that it will increase the card by.
When training a card, the power of the card will increase. The maximum level that a card can be trained is level 100. However, to be able to train a card to a certain point, it needs to be at a specific tier, along with the high enough star level.mentor, which can help improve a different card's power level, and increase the player's attributes if the card is attached with gear when it is converted. When you make a mentor and teach a card with it for the first time, it is free, but as you teach more cards with it, it will start to cost more and more coins. A card can be trained using either pump-ups, which are made specifically to train cards, other cards, or collectibles. The higher the tier of a pump-up or card, the more it trains the card.

See also: Xiaomi
The Xiaomi Mi 5 (Chinese:小米手机5) is a smartphone developed by the Chinese electronics manufacturer company Xiaomi for its high-end smartphone line, released in February 2016.1080p screen, a Snapdragon 820 processor, a 3,000-mAh battery and a Sony Exmor IMX 16-megapixel camera. The standard version has 3GB of RAM (random-access memory) with 32GB of storage space (UFS2.0). The advanced version has the same amount of RAM with 64GB of storage space (UFS2.0). The premium edition has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (UFS 2.0). It was released 528 days after the Xiaomi Mi 4 went on sale, and the Xiaomi Mi 5 was a long time coming after a flood of flagship phones from different brands.
History
There were many reasons for the delay in launching the fifth generation of Xiaomi phones in 2015. First of all, Huawei's crackdown on Xiaomi was particularly severe in 2015. Therefore, Xiaomi needed to make a comeback through the release of Mi 5. Secondly, Xiaomi has always stood on the market with low price and cost performance,mobile world congress (MWC) brought better exposure and higher consumer awareness of marketing strategies, which helped Xiaomi better promote its new phones to meet its sales target. Besides, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 running on the Xiaomi Mi 5 is highly anticipated, so the compatibility of the processor had to be perfected before releasing the phone.
Features
System and software
The factory system (UI) of Xiaomi Mi 5 is MIUI 7.ROM and can change the name of the SIM network at will. The Xiaomi Mi 5 features a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. At the end of 2017, Xiaomi Mi 5 updated the available MIUI V9.1.1.0 with unique optimizations including a notification panel that can respond quickly, split-screen or multi-window support, image search, improved performance and application processing.
The Mi 5 is among few smartphones to support Apple's proprietary "AirPlay" protocol.

Design
The 5.15 Mi 5 is indeed one of the most compact and lightweight flagships. It is 144.6 x 69.2 x 7.3 mm wide and 2 mm tall, but the hair is narrower and thinner than the 5.1 Galaxy S7. The Mi 5 weighs just 129g - 23g lighter than the Galaxy S7 with a similar design. The Mi 5 has a familiar double glazing design with a silver frame. Both pieces are made from the latest Gorilla Glass 4 material. The rear glass bends around the long edges, while the front is completely flat. Xiaomi has set chamfered edges on the frame to complement the soft curve on the back, which works best in this combination. It also improves grip, enhances the appearance and makes handling more comfortable. Monitors may look almost bezel-less, but they aren't. A metal frame is a border, and it takes a while to get used to it when swiping a card because most of the time people's thumbs scratch the metal and then seamlessly enter the screen. It wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't common at first.HTC 10.

Marketing
Xiaomi's darkest hour came in the year before the Mi 5 went on sale. Xiaomi, China's leading smartphone maker, has endured a year of intense pressure from Huawei and Apple. Other Chinese smartphone giants, such as Vivo and Oppo, have made efforts in retail to stay out of the way. In this dilemma, Xiaomi Mi 5 is just a sharp tool to fight a battle of survival and keep Xiaomi's market share in China. In 2014, Xiaomi's share of the global smartphone market was only 5%, far less than Samsung's 26% and Apple's 12%.Xiaomi have achieved good results in China in recent years, so Xiaomi has put considerable pressure on Apple.headphones, gaming laptops, fitness watches, smart light bulbs and more. Perhaps if people are not interested in Xiaomi's smartphones, they may still be interested in its ancillary products. Xiaomi is often referred to by others as "the Apple of China" largely due to its phones resembling that of Apple's iPhone. However, Xiaomi has created some special phones after continuous independent research and development. In fact, there is a big difference between Xiaomi and Apple. That is, Xiaomi has a wider range of sales and hardware services than Apple, and its phones have higher cost performance. But at the same time, cost-effective phones are losing their edge. This means that Xiaomi may need to improve its original marketing model and gradually adapt to the current global smartphone market. Or it could still gradually cultivate Xiaomi's "fanatical fans" to follow the old way.Redmi 4X sales in Mexico. "Mexico is a very important market for us and is our starting point to the rest of Latin America," Donovan Sung, Xiaomi's global director of product management and marketing, said in a news release. "We hope to continue to grow here with the continued support of our passionate Mi fans."Xiaomi Mi 8 was deemed to copy the iPhone X with similar facial recognition and camera layout.
Reception
The Xiaomi Mi 5 received a lot of good reviews after its release. There are many reasons for this.

GSMArena states that: "Xiaomi made it easy for us. The Mi 5 is one of the most beautiful, most powerful, and most capable smartphones to date and there is little to dwell on it. If the Mi 5 is available in your geographic region, our recommendation is to grab one right away. The Snapdragon 820 chip, the very bright screen, the enhanced 16MP snapper with 4-axis OIS, and the beefy battery are all an excellent complement to the charismatic Xiaomi Mi 5. The Android 6.0 Marshmallow allowed for native fingerprint reader and USB Type-C support, while the MIUI 7 launcher is as neat as ever. The Xiaomi Mi 5 has no competition within its price bracket. The rest of the Snapdragon 820 devices are twice as expensive, as is the iPhone 6s. "
Gadgets360 states that: "Xiaomi may be better known for its budget smartphones, but with the Mi 5 it has shown that it is more than capable of building a competent premium device as well. Although a lot of people will have problems with the price and the general idea that Xiaomi is even trying to build something premium, we feel that it's time to move on and give the company the respect it deserves. The Mi 5 is a solid effort that succeeds in giving you a flagship smartphone experience at a price that we consider excellent for a phone of this quality."
According to an author from ANDROID AUTHORITY, the Mi 5's design, display, performance, hardware, battery life, camera, and software impressed us overall, which is astonishing at this price point. Xiaomi has yet again raised the bar for what an affordable smartphone should be, and much like in previous years, rival OEMs will certainly need to up their game to topple Xiaomi's latest flagship.
But one phone can't be perfect, and there have been some comments pointing to problems.

An author from Forbes said that: "The volume rocker on the side is slightly wobbly, making for the only "flaw" in what is otherwise top-notch craftsmanship. The Mi 5 runs Xiaomi's own MIUI skin over Android 6.0, and much like Meizu's Flyme OS, it's a lot cleaner than people in the west might think. The two major differences that fans of stock Android would notice right away are the lack of an app drawer, and the notification shade, which is split into two tabs (a la Huawei's EMUI). One side is notifications, the other is toggles for things like WiFi, Bluetooth, volume, etc. I don't particularly love this two-part take (because it requires an extra swipe left/right to do most things), but it's not that annoying."
" Xiaomi seems to be running an overly aggressive background app killing setting that'll close most apps running in the background if they've not been used for a while. It's difficult to assess exactly how long this time period has to be, but I found common apps like GroupMe and Hangouts, among plenty of others, having to reload every time I went back to them. I don't spend all day in chat apps but it's annoying waiting for them to load back up again, and sometimes I even found that notifications were delayed until I opened the app again. This happened most often with Google's Inbox and caused me to miss emails a number of times. This is all done to save battery, which it certainly achieves, but it creates a negative user experience when it does happen, and is less desirable than just killing my battery quicker."

Eisenmenger syndrome
|
Eisenmenger syndrome or Eisenmenger's syndrome is defined as the process in which a long-standing left-to-right cardiac shunt caused by a congenital heart defect (typically by a ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, or less commonly, patent ductus arteriosus) causes pulmonary hypertensioncyanotic right-to-left shunt. Because of the advent of fetal screening with echocardiography early in life, the incidence of heart defects progressing to Eisenmenger syndrome has decreased.
Eisenmenger syndrome in a pregnant mother can cause serious complications,fainting spells, blood clots forming in the veins and traveling to distant sites, hypovolemia, coughing up blood or preeclampsia. Most deaths occur either during or within the first weeks after delivery.
Signs and symptoms
Nail clubbing of fingers in a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome. First described by Hippocrates, clubbing is also known as "Hippocratic fingers".
Signs and symptoms of Eisenmenger syndrome include the following:
* Cyanosis (a blue tinge to the skin resulting from lack of oxygen)
* High red blood cell count
* Swollen or clubbed fingertips (clubbing)
* Fainting (also known as syncope)
* Heart failure
* Abnormal heart rhythms
* Bleeding disorders
* Coughing up blood
* Iron deficiency
* Infections (endocarditis and pneumonia)
* Kidney problems
* Stroke
* Gout (rarely) due to increased uric acid resorption and production with impaired excretion
* Gallstones
One of the most severe and common complications of Eisenmenger syndrome is cardiac arrhythmia, especially supraventricular arrhythmias. Approximately 40% of patients diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome were also found to have these arrhythmias during routine ECG screenings. These arrhythmias have worse prognosis in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, compared to the general population, and can be a source of sudden cardiac death.
Causes
A number of congenital heart defects can cause Eisenmenger syndrome, including atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, and more complex types of acyanotic heart disease.
Pathogenesis

|
Eisenmenger syndrome
|
Pathogenesis
The reason Eisenmenger syndrome often presents later in life can be explained by alterations of the normal physiology of the heart and the maladaptive responses that occur over time. The larger and more muscular left side of the heart must generate the high pressure required to supply blood to the extensive, high-resistance systemic circulation. In contrast, the smaller, right side of the heart must generate a much lower pressure in order to pass blood through the low-resistance, high compliance circulation of the lungs. The lungs are able to accomplish this low-resistance circulation largely due to the fact that the length of the pulmonary circulation is smaller, and because much of the circuitry is in parallel rather than in series.
If a significant anatomic defect (i.e. a hole or breach) exists between the two ventral sides of the heart, a shunt will occur, causing blood to flow down the normal pressure gradient from the left side to the right side. The amount of blood shunted is proportional to the size of the defect, and the beat-to-beat volume of blood pumped through a left-to-right breach is a percentage of anticipated cardiac output (CO) of the left ventricle. Clinically a low index or percentage of CO ejected through a shunt is harmless; a high index or percentage of CO ejected through a left-to-right shunt heralds Eisenmenger's physiology.
The left-to-right shunting of blood results in abnormally high blood flow and pressure directed to the right heart circulation, gradually leading to maladaptive changes that ultimately result in pulmonary hypertension. Increased right-sided blood volume and pressure causes a cascade of pathologic damage to the delicate pulmonary capillaries, causing them to be incrementally replaced with scar tissue. Scar (dead lung tissue) does not contribute to oxygen transfer, therefore decreasing the useful volume of the pulmonary vasculature. The scar tissue also provides less flexibility and compliance than normal lung tissue, causing further increases in pulmonary blood pressure, and the weakened heart must pump harder to continue supplying the lungs, leading to damage of more capillaries. It is because of this maladaptive response that at the onset of Eisenmenger syndrome, the damage is considered irreversible, even if the underlying heart defect is corrected after the fact.

Eisenmenger syndrome
|
Eventually, due to increased resistance and decreased compliance of the pulmonary vessels, elevated pulmonary pressures cause the myocardium of the right heart to hypertrophy (RVH). The onset of Eisenmenger syndrome begins when right ventricular hypertrophy causes right heart pressures to exceed that of the left heart, leading to reversal of blood flow through the shunt (i.e., blood moves from the right side of the heart to the left side). As a consequence, deoxygenated blood returning from the body bypasses the lungs through the reversed shunt and proceeds directly to systemic circulation, leading to cyanosis and resultant organ damage.
The defect, now a right-to-left shunt, causes reduced oxygen saturation in the arterial blood due to mixing of oxygenated blood returning from the lungs with the deoxygenated blood returning from systemic circulation. This decreased saturation is sensed by the kidneys, resulting in a compensatory increase in erythropoietin production and an increased production of red blood cells in an attempt to increase oxygen delivery. As the bone marrow increases erythropoiesis, the systemic reticulocyte count and the risk for hyperviscosity syndrome increases. Reticulocytes are less efficient at carrying oxygen as mature red cells, and they are less deformable, causing impaired transit through capillary beds. This contributes to the death of pulmonary capillary beds.
A person with Eisenmenger syndrome is paradoxically subject to the possibility of both uncontrolled bleeding due to damaged capillaries and high pressure, as well as spontaneous clots due to hyperviscosity and stasis of blood.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of Eisenmenger syndrome is typically conducted via transthoracic echocardiography, which facilitates the identification and evaluation of shunts, anatomical defects, and ventricular function. Following diagnosis, or in some cases of inconclusive diagnosis, a cardiac catheter may be used to both confirm the diagnosis and to assess the patient's pulmonary arterial pressure, an important predictive value for prognosis and treatment.

Treatment
If the inciting defect in the heart is identified before it causes significant pulmonary hypertension, it can normally be repaired through surgery, preventing the disease.pulmonary hypertension is sufficient to reverse the blood flow through the defect, however, the maladaptation is considered irreversible, and a heart–lung transplant or a lung transplant with repair of the heart is the only curative option. Transplantation is the final therapeutic option and only for patients with poor prognosis and quality of life. Timing and appropriateness of transplantation remain difficult decisions.reasonable functional status related to Eisenmenger syndrome have improved survival with conservative medical care compared with transplantation.
Various medicines and therapies for pulmonary hypertension are under investigation for treatment of the symptoms.air embolism. If air is introduced into the veins and travels through the ventricular septal defect into the arterial circulation, a stroke may occur.
Antiarrhythmic drugs are important for many patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, as evidence suggests that arrhythmia-induced sudden cardiac death may be the leading cause of death among patients with the disease. These therapies generally aim to restore and maintain sinus rhythm, but the specific interventions chosen will depend on the nature of the patient's arrhythmia.

Jazzy and the Pussycats
|
Lisa asks Bart to play along with her quintet, and Bart easily overshadows everyone, including Lisa. When a legendary jazz group asks him to play with them, Lisa is angered, as she is the more experienced and passionate of the two. Lisa then tries to overtake Bart in his passion of skateboarding, which ends in failure. Marge, who does not want Lisa to compete against Bart, decides to let her adopt a puppy in order to make her happy. At the animal shelter, Lisa picks a healthy puppy over a very sick one that would otherwise die. Later that night, the sick dog appears in a ghost-like form to tell her that his fate is doomed because she chose the other dog over him. Lisa decides to go back and adopt the sick puppy, but after seeing how sick many of them are, she decides to adopt them all in order to save their lives. On her way home, many other animals join her, including a group of circus animals. Having nowhere to put them, Lisa puts them in the attic. After dinner that night, Lisa goes into the attic and finds Bart and his jazz group with the animals she rescued. A tiger bites Bart's arm, causing extensive nerve damage that leaves him unable to play.
In order to raise money for the operation he needs, Bart organizes a benefit concert. Meanwhile, Lisa is informed that her animals will be taken to a pound and put down if she cannot find a suitable home for them. The concert is a success, and Bart feels empathy for Lisa and decides to use the money to build a home for the animals instead. The other musicians begin to discuss the idea of holding another benefit to repair Bart's arm.

Krishnamurti to Himself
|
Krishnamurti to Himself, subtitled His Last Journal, is a book based on a spoken diary of 20th-century Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986). It discusses psychological, social and spiritual issues he addressed throughout his long career, and like previous diaries includes observations of nature remarked for their originality and nuance; it is however unique in being the only one of his works in this format. Originally recorded in 1983–84, it was first published in print in 1987.
About the work
The text was transcribed from audiotape recordings made by Krishnamurti at his home in Ojai, California.25 February 1983 and 30 March 1984.Mary Lutyens, an authorized Krishnamurti biographer and longtime friend.
The work was reputedly prompted by the success of the previously published diary Krishnamurti's Journal.tape recorder.second-person and third-person narratives, and occasionally with the help of an imaginary conversation partner,identification, the significance of meditation, the dangers of conditioned thinking, and "the extraordinary simplicity of dying”.
A commentator wrote that this and previous diaries are "worth seeking for the sheer power of the language alone"... The gist of Krishnamurti's teaching is here, and the descriptions of nature with which he begins most of the pieces may for many,... quieten their whole being so that they become intuitively receptive to what follows."
Publication history
The book was originally published in June 1987 by Gollancz in the UK, and by Harper & Row in the US. A trade paperback edition was published in the US in January 1993 by HarperOne Krishnamurti's Journal, there is no table of contents, with the first dated section beginning immediately after the foreword by Lutyens.
Copyright was held by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, a UK entity. As of 2021, publishing rights were managed by Krishnamurti Publications, the global distributor of Krishnamurti works; the book was listed in their online trade catalog as available in several languages and dialects.

Stephanie Gardner
|
Stephanie Gardner (born November 11, 1989) is a Brazilian-American retired figure skater. She is the first skater to represent Brazil in at an ISU Championship, which she did at the 2007 Four Continents Championships.
Personal life
Gardner's father is American while her mother's Brazilian, which gives her double citizenship. She learned to speak Portuguese when she was 13 from watching Brazilian telenovelas on Globo International.
Carreira
Stephanie Gardner began skating at nine years old at Costa Mesa, California, after watching Tara Lipinski win gold at the Nagano Olympic Games in 1998. Until 2004, she used to compete at the USFS domestic circuit in ladies' singles, but in 2005 she decided to change to synchronized skating, when she began competing for the ICE'Kateers team, with whom she got 4th place at the Intermediate level US Nationals.
In 2006, she went back to singles after finding out there'd be a national competition for Brazilian skaters in São Paulo and, along with her coaches, developed a set of programs more adjusted for the rink she'd skate there, which was eight times smaller than the Olympic sized ones. Gardner won the competition, which caught the attention of a Domingão do Faustão producer who invited her to be one of the skaters at the Dancing on Ice segment. Rio de Janeiro. Her performance at the reality show was enough to make the CBDG directors aware of her skill and so she was invited to be the first ever athlete to represent Brazil in a ISU sanctioned championship at 2007 Four Continents Championships, in which she finished at 26th.
Gardner had stumbled on the possibility of changing categories once again, this time to ice dance, and focusing on the 2010 Olympics, with either Flávio Francisco or Diego Dores, both Brazilian-born skaters, as her partner, but the lack of adequate structure in Brazil and the logistical issues of moving the potential partners to California made her decide to retire.

Ain Al Nuaman
|
Ain Al Nuaman (Arabic: عين النعمان, romanized: ‘Ain An Nu‘mān) is a village in north-west Qatar, located in the municipality of Ash Shamal. It is roughly 91 km away from the capital Doha, and is close to the ruins of Zubarah. Largely an agricultural settlement, the area is characterized by its large concentration of farms and gardens, with little else in the way of public infrastructure.
Etymology
Named after a local well, the first constituent of the village's name, "ain", refers to a natural source of water in Arabic. The second part, "Nuaman" was the family name of the individual who built the well which supplied water to the village.Ain Al Noman.
Infrastructure
The condition of roads is poor in the village. Currently, only a one-lane road runs through the village center and does not have adequate lighting. There is also a marked absence of commercial establishments in the village.

Rupert Trimmingham

Rupert Stanley Trimmingham (August 17, 1899 – May 9, 1985) was a corporal in the United States Army Corps of Engineers during World War II who is noted for writing a letter that was published in Yank, the Army Weekly that attracted wide attention to the plight of black American soldiers in World War II. It was an early step in the process that, along with other publicized outrages involving black American soldiers, eventually resulted in President Harry S. Truman issuing Executive Order 9981, which desegregated the United States armed forces. Beginning within months of publication, the letter has been an inspiration for literature and the performing arts highlighting racial inequality.
Life
Trimmingham was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, the son of Harris and Lillian Trimmingham. In 1917 he emigrated to Wales, where he was a merchant seaman from 1918 to 1921. He emigrated to the United States, sailing from Southampton, England, and arriving in New York on 13 October 1925. In 1928 he married and lived in Newark, New Jersey. On 23 August 1943 he married his second wife, Harriet B. Lawsen, in Pima County, Arizona. He joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1942, working as an electrician. After his discharge in 1946 he lived in Gary, Indiana, working for the Singer Sewing Machine Company as an electrician. He became a naturalized U. S. citizen in 1950. In 1956 he moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he died in 1985 and was buried in Fairview Cemetery, Ann Arbor. His wife died in 2005 and is buried beside him.
Incident and letter to Yank
In April 1944 Trimmingham and eight fellow black soldiers were traveling by train from Camp Claiborne in central Louisiana to the military hospital at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, when the train made a one-day layover in a small Louisiana town. Trimmingham wrote a letter recounting what happened that was published in the 28 April 1944 edition of Yank Magazine:
Trimmingham's first letter to Yank
April 28, 1944
Dear Yank,

April 28, 1944
Dear Yank,
Here is a question that each Negro soldier is asking. What is the Negro soldier fighting for? On whose team are we playing? Myself and eight other soldiers were on our way from Camp Claiborne, La., to the hospital here at Fort Huachuca. We had to lay over until the next day for our train. On the next day we could not purchase a cup of coffee at any of the lunchrooms around there. As you know, Old Man Jim Crow rules. The only place where we could be served was at the lunchroom at the railroad station but, of course we had to go into the kitchen. But that's not all; 11:30 a.m. about a two dozen German prisoners of war, with two American guards, came into the station. They entered the lunchroom, sat at the tables, had their meals served, talked, smoked, in fact had quite a swell time. I stood on the outside looking on, and I could not help but ask myself these questions: Are these men sworn enemies of this country? Are they not taught to hate and destroy all democratic governments? Are we not American soldiers, sworn to fight for and die if need be for this country? Then why are they treated better than we are? Why are we pushed around like cattle? If we are fighting for the same thing, if we are to die for our country, then why does the Government allow such things to go on? Some of the boys are saying that you will not print this letter. I'm saying that you will.

Fort Huachuca, Ariz.
Reaction and subsequent letter to Yank
The reaction to the letter was strong and immediate. In a follow-up letter published 28 July 1944, Trimmingham said that he had received 287 letters, 183 from whites, supporting his position. The editors reported that Yank had received "a great number of comments from GIs, almost all of whom were outraged by the treatment given the corporal."
Trimmingham's second letter to Yank
July 28, 1944

Rupert Trimmingham

July 28, 1944
Dear Yank,
Allow me to thank you for publishing my letter. Although there was some doubt about its being published, yet somehow I felt that Yank was too great a paper not to. ... Each day brings three, four or five letters to me in answer to my letter. I just returned from furlough and found 25 letters awaiting me. To date I've received 287 letters, and, strange as it may seem, 183 are from white men and women in the armed service. Another strange feature about these letters is that most of these people are from the Deep South. They are all proud of the fact that they are of the South but ashamed to learn that there are so many of their own people who by their actions and manner toward the Negro are playing Hitler's game. Nevertheless, it gives me new hope to realize that there are doubtless thousands of whites who are willing to fight this Frankenstein that so many white people are keeping alive. All that the Negro is asking for is to be given half a chance and he will soon demonstrate his worth to his country. Should these white people who realize that the Negro is a man who is loyal – one who would gladly give his life for this our wonderful country – would stand up, join with us and help us to prove to their white friends that we are worthy, I'm sure that we would bury race hate and unfair treatment. Thanks again.

Influence on popular culture
A short story by Robert E. McLaughlin based upon the events described by Trimmingham, "A Short Wait between Trains," was published in the 14 June 1944 New Yorker magazine.New Yorker short stories reprinted three times,
Also in 1945, radio writer Ruth Moore wrote a one-act play incorporating elements from Trimminghim's account and McLaughlin's story, "Short Wait between Trains,", for the Chicago branch of the Stage for Action, a social activist theater organization of the 1940s and early 1950s. The play had its premiere on 28 October 1945 at the opening of the troupe's 1945–46 season at Northwestern University.

Rotundaria tuberculata
|
Rotundaria tuberculata, commonly called the purple wartyback, is a freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk.
This species is native to eastern North America, generally in the Mississippi River drainage, where it is wide-ranging. It is still common in many areas, particularly in the southern part of its range.
It was formerly classified as the sole species in the genus Cyclonaias, but in 2012 it was moved to Rotundaria based on genetic evidence.

Jacob Weinberg
|
Not to be confused with Yaakov Weinberg or Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg.
For the Polish-born Russian-Jewish composer, see Mieczysław Weinberg.
Jacob Weinberg (1 July 1879, Odesa – 2 November 1956 New York) was a Russian-born American Jewish composer and pianist who composed over 135 works for piano and other instruments. He was one of the founders of the Jewish National Conservatory in Jerusalem before immigrating to the U.S. where he became "an influential voice in the promotion of American Jewish music" from the 1940s until his death.
Life and career
Weinberg was born in Odesa, Ukraine, to Dora and Wolf (Zev) Weinberg. His family was middle class and his father was a merchant who died when Jacob was only 12. Jacob wrote an essay about how he had been sent to a synagogue to say the Kaddish prayer in mourning for his father. He wrote that he had not been raised in an Orthodox home and he was not familiar with the sounds of the Hebrew language in the prayer but he fell in love with the music of the language and the rhythm of the prayer. This sparked his interest in Jewish religion and Jewish music.
His uncle was Peter Weinberg, a prominent translator of Shakespeare and Heine into Russian. Jacob completed law school at Moscow University, but he never practiced, preferring his piano studies. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory of Music from 1901-1906, under many prominent teachers including Taneyev and Ippolito-Ivanov. In addition, he studied composition for a year in Vienna, under Sergei Taneyev.
Weinberg toured Russia as a pianist and also toured with Emil Rosenoff in their two-piano concerts from 1912 to 1916. He adapted Rachmaninoff's works to create a two-piano piece he called Rachmaniana. It was published and performed by Weinberg and Rosenoff. He was also very interested in preserving the unique melodies and music scales of Jewish religious and secular folk tunes. When the St. Petersburg Society for Jewish Folk Music was formed in 1908 by Joel Engel, Lazare Saminsky, and others, Jacob Weinberg and his Moscow-based peers formed the Moscow branch of this society.

With the advent of the Bolshevik Revolution, Weinberg spent two months in prison and then fled with his wife Theresa (née Bernstein) and his only child, a son, Walter, in 1922 to Palestine (now Israel). There he composed the first Hebrew opera, The Pioneers (Hechalutz). It won First Prize in an international composition contest, sponsored by the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial. There was a performance in Jerusalem in April, 1925. He taught piano; among his students was the pianist Mordecai Sandberg.
With the competition prize money of $1500, Weinberg took his family to New York.
Weinberg produced concert versions of his opera The Pioneers at Carnegie Hall in 1941 and 1947, and at the Mecca Temple (now New York City Center) in the 1930s. In addition, there was a performance in Berlin, Germany on September 5, 1938, by the Kulturbund, with the soprano Mascha Benya in one of the leading roles. It was conducted by violinist and conductor Chemjo Winawer. It was performed in a beautiful, huge 3,000-seat synagogue on Prinzregentenstrasse. (The Nazi party had banned the performance of Jewish works, even masterpieces, from being performed in a proper concert hall, so it was performed in a synagoguge). Two months later this grand synagogue was destroyed on Kristallnacht. The artists fled to the US and survived but Kurt Singer, the illustrious head of the Kulturbund, which organized such concerts, could not escape in time and was murdered in Auschwitz..
His many other works include religious Jewish works; he set the Sabbath service to music in several versions. These works are still performed at Temple Emanu-el, a prominent Reform synagogue in Manhattan.Aaron Copland attended one of the Lincoln concerts prior to composing his own Lincoln Portrait.
He joined the music faculty of the New York College of Music in 1929 where he taught for many years and later joined the faculty at Hunter College.

Jacob Weinberg's widow, Theresa Bernstein Weinberg, was a brilliant woman who spoke four languages and raised their only child, Walter, when Jacob was pursuing his work. After Jacob's death, Theresa donated his music papers to Jacob Michael, the collector and philanthropist, whose foundation, in turn, donated the collection to the National Library of Israel, which is located on the campus of Hebrew University at Givat Ram, in Israel. There are over 10,000 pages in this archive which has been carefully curated by its director, Dr. Gila Flam, a distinguished musicologist. Theresa Weinberg also donated a second large volume of Weinberg's musical scores, personal letters, academic papers, and photos to the archive at the Glinka Museum of Music in Moscow, at 4 Fedeeva St. These papers can be viewed by request. Among the Glinka collection are Jacob Weinberg's masterpiece "Sonata for Two Pianos", and "Encyclopedia of Piano Technique, Part I and Part II." His papers from his student days at the Moscow Conservatory of Music (1901-1906) are also donated here.
In addition to being Jacob's helpmate and supporter, Theresa Bernstein Weinberg was a gifted watercolor artist and avid maker of scrapbooks. In 1960 she formally signed a paper donating 67 scrapbooks of her clippings (of Jacob's work and also popular culture) to the NY Public Library system. These have yet to be found. Her grandchildren have been searching extensively for them. They are most likely in the basement storage areas of the NY Public Library at Bryant Park. Theresa passed away in 1962 and is interred at Ferncliff Cemetery, in Westchester County.
Jacob Weinberg's works continue to be enjoyed and performed today. His Klezmer works for clarinet, in particular, are widely performed. These include "Canzonetta" and "The Maypole". Weinberg was one of the in-house composers at Temple Emanu-el in Manhattan. His works are often performed during the High Holy days and during the weekly Sabbath services. Also, see YouTube for videos of contemporary performances of Jacob Weinberg's works. See the Milken Archives for some recordings of his works.

Je voudrais pas crever
|
Je voudrais pas crever (I wouldn't want to croak) is a collection of poetry by French author Boris Vian, published posthumously in 1962.
Background
The set of 23 poems was first published by the famed publisher Jean-Jacques Pauvert, three years after the death of Vian in 1959 and at a time when his literary stock was rising on the heels of the publication of Romans et Nouvelles and the re-publication of L'Écume des jours. The collection is named for the title of the first poem; the manuscript has no title. The poems, many of which deal with tragedy and death, were written in 1951-51, when Vian was undergoing marital, financial, and creative difficulties.
In the edition edited by Noël Arnaud (first published in 1972 and republished in 1989), the poems are followed by four letters (written between 1953 and 1959) to the College of 'Pataphysics, the Parisian philosophical group of artists and writers dedicated to the study of what lies beyond metaphysics. Also included are two brief texts by Vian on literature and the role of the writer.
The influence of Je voudrais pas crever
The book has proven inspirational for many French artists, especially singers. Serge Reggiani, one of the most influential French chansonniers of the 1960s, sang Boris Vian songs and also recorded Je voudrais pas crever.Libération published a full-length article on the French band Eiffel, whose leader, Romain Humeau, claims Vian's book was the inspiration for their 2000 album Abricotine.
Je voudrais pas crever in 2009
In 2009, fifty years after Vian's death, a wave of books about him and his work as well as re-issues of his books (including no fewer than thirty-three Le Livre de Poche editions) proved that Vian is more popular than ever, as the French magazine Le Point stated; one of the new books is a reissue of Je voudrais pas crever, illustrated by Jacques de Loustal and others.Martin Matje,Quebec.

Season summary
The first season of Fringe begins with the introduction of the main characters, as Olivia is brought aboard the Fringe division following the critical injury of her partner, John Scott, in an event tied to the Fringe division. As part of her investigation, she finds she needs the knowledge and experience of Walter Bishop, currently institutionalized in a mental hospital. Olivia blackmails Walter's estranged son, Peter, to be Walter's legal guardian, allowing his release from the institution. Olivia finds that Walter's knowledge in the area of fringe science to be critical for her job, and convinces Peter to remain as Walter's guardian; Peter, initially resentful due to events in his childhood, starts to participate directly in the cases, his abilities as a jack-of-all-trades being a benefit to both Walter's scientific needs and Olivia's investigations. Walter himself struggles with life outside the institution, plagued by a secret from his past and often resorting to recreational drugs. Olivia comes to discover that Massive Dynamic, a company that Walter used to be a part of, is connected with several of the Fringe cases.

Fringe (season 1)
|
The Fringe team starts to learn of a bio-terrorist group known as ZFT (in German, Zerstörung durch Fortschritte der Technologie, translated as "Destruction by Advancement of Technology"), which seem to be after several of Walter's old experiments. In one case, a group of men led by Mitchell Loeb have recreated Walter's technology used to pass through solid matter to steal several components of a device, constructed by Walter, from banks. With the assembled device, Loeb's team is able to teleport David Robert Jones, a former Massive Dynamics employee and leader of the ZFT, out of a high security prison. Jones attempts to sway Olivia to his side as a "soldier" in an upcoming "war," making her aware that she, as a child, was part of a test run by Walter and his partner William Bell of the nootropic drug, Cortexiphan, that gave her psychokinetic powers. Olivia refuses, disbelieving his claim but realizing that evidence to support it appears true. Meanwhile, the Observer meets with Walter and takes him to Walter's old beach house, where he finds a device he once made that can close a portal to a parallel universe. Tracking Jones, Olivia finds that all of the Fringe events have formed a spiral, centering on Reiden Lake in New York, and she, Peter, and Walter are able to prevent Jones from crossing over to a parallel universe using the device that Walter found, killing Jones in the process. Later Walter is seen at a cemetery where he mourns over a grave labeled "Peter Bishop."
Olivia tries to get answers from Nina Sharp on Jones' motive, but she only directs her to a meeting with Bell. Olivia, while en route to the meeting, finds herself in the parallel universe, in the World Trade Center office of William Bell.

Dr. Bishop hides the cylinder against the wishes of the rest of the team, owing a debt to the Observer for saving his life and that of his son many years earlier. An unknown man abducts and tortures Peter for information regarding the cylinder's location, and learns its placement through the ideas Peter has absorbed from his father through osmosis. The man takes him to a cemetery housing tombstones bearing the names of Peter and his mother and finds the cylinder. Olivia shows up after learning the location from Walter and kills the man.

Fringe (season 1)

Agent Mitchell Loeb (Chance Kelly), a friend of Broyles collapses on assignment, his heart being constricted by a rhizocephalan like parasite which is slowly working its roots into his circulatory system. To find a cure, Olivia must talk to Dr. David Robert Jones (Jared Harris), a biochemist held incommunicado in Frankfurt, Germany. Problems arise when Jones demands to speak to a colleague of his in exchange, who is unfortunately killed in a raid set up by Broyles. Walter, however, devises a way to wire Peter into the dead man's brain, enabling Peter to speak on his behalf. The procedure is successful and the parasite is removed, but the team doesn't realize that the entire incident was orchestrated by Loeb to get the information Peter extracted from the dead man.
8 8 "The Equation" Gwyneth Horder-Payton J. R. Orci & David H. Goodman November 18, 2008 3T7657 9.18
The abduction of a young musician, Ben Stockton (Charlie Tahan), is highlighted by a sequence of flashing lights which causes the boy's father to be hypnotized into a suggestive state. Upon 'waking up,' he does not have any memory of what happened while hypnotized. Similar cases have ended with the victim being returned, but left insane from the trauma of the incident. As they investigate, they discover that each case dealt with a genius of some sort working on an unfinished equation. To discover the child's whereabouts, Olivia encourages Walter to return to St. Claire's Hospital and speak with his old bunkmate, Dashiell Kim (Randall Duk Kim) a former mathematician who disappeared under similar circumstances. The visit does not go well, and Walter is held by the hospital administrator, who remains unconvinced of Walter's sanity. Walter manages to coerce his bunk mate into giving up a vague idea of his whereabouts, which Olivia and Peter use to find the boy once they arrange for Walter's release. However, the kidnapper, Joanne Ostler (Gillian Jacobs), escapes with the completed formula, which she gives to Mitchell Loeb (Chance Kelly), who calibrates a frequency generator in such a way to allow him to pass through solid matter.

Following his escape from a German prison, Dr. David Robert Jones (Jared Harris) turns himself in to the FBI, having begun to suffer side effects of the teleportation in "Safe." Walter mentions that the teleportation side effects won't kill Jones but will do something terrible to him. As insurance, Jones has developed an adhesive which causes the orifices of those exposed to it to seal up, suffocating them. A bomb containing the toxin is set to go off if Olivia cannot pass his tests. The first test is to shut off a series of lights using only her mind. Jones says this is possible due to a nootropic drug present in Olivia, one designed by William Bell and patented by Massive Dynamic. The team discovers a manuscript, which explains the letters ZFT (Zerstörung durch Fortschritte der Technologie, "Destruction by Advancement of Technology"), which is essentially a Bible to Jones and his followers. According to the manuscript, there is a conflict going on between our world and a parallel universe. Jones wants Olivia as a "recruit" and the tests are a part of the selection process. Initially, Olivia believes Jones is playing mind games with her and refuses to cooperate, but when she is forced to disarm the bomb in the same manner as the test, she succeeds. Jones is taken to a hospital for further observation. However when Olivia arrives there the staff are in a panic and Jones has disappeared leaving a gaping hole in an external wall. Later, Olivia gets confirmation from Nina Sharp that she was indeed injected with the chemical as a child. At the end of the episode, Walter finds the offset letter 'y' in the ZFT document occurs on the typewriter in the lab, strongly indicating that either Walter or Bell was the author of the manifesto.

The child leads Olivia to breaks in the case, using a strange ability to sense the emotions of the killer. Once the killer has been captured, Olivia arranges for the child to be secretly put in the care of a foster family, rather than turning him over to the CIA as ordered.

While Olivia does not remember him, he remembers her, having nicknamed her "Olive." Olivia non-fatally wounds him so he does not commit suicide with a large group, and he is placed in a medically induced coma to contain his emotions. Walter watches a video of Olivia as a child, apparently taken during the time she was being administered the drug. Walter's voice is heard on the tape, as is William Bell's.

The Fringe Division investigates the case of a woman (Jennifer Ferrin) who "spontaneously combusts" in the middle of a busy New York street. The team discovers that the victim is the subject of a ZFT experiment to cultivate pyrokinesis. As they investigate, Olivia experiences "visions" while awake. Walter suggests she is seeing a parallel universe which has branched off from our own. Olivia and Peter visit an agoraphobic website designer (Clint Howard) who is apparently aware of William Bell, the drug trials, and the coming war, although his credibility comes into question when he believes himself to be a character in the plot of Star Trek. Using information from her visions, Olivia tracks down the victim's twin sister, who only moments before was kidnapped for more ZFT experimentation. Harris is revealed to be responsible for the crimes, and while closing in on him, Olivia gets locked in a room with the twin sister, whose unstable pyrokinetic abilities threaten both their lives. With Olivia's guidance, the woman focuses her energy on Harris and incinerates him. Olivia finds out that the sisters were part of the same nootropic drug trial that she was as a child. She presses Walter to reveal why he and William Bell were developing "supersoldiers," but Walter reveals only that it was for protection against some impending doom that he cannot recall. Meanwhile, Walter reveals that the ZFT manuscript was written by William Bell, and the copy of the manuscript ZFT uses is missing a chapter dealing with ethics. He locates the original, but the Observer shows up and takes Walter away, cryptically stating: "It is time to go." Nina Sharp visits Broyles to discuss the Observer, and is later shot in her hotel by two masked gunmen using silenced weapons.

Nina Sharp recovers from her attack and reveals to the Fringe Division that an energy cell was stolen from her mechanical arm by Jones, which he intends to use to open a doorway into a parallel universe to confront William Bell. Meanwhile, Peter finds Walter at a beach house where they retrieve a device that can seal such an opening. Walter explains to Peter that he once lost something very dear to him and that he had to go and bring it back from another reality, the device being meant to prevent something from following him. Olivia, Peter and Walter intercept Jones opening another window, and Peter triggers Walter's device, killing Jones by sealing the doorway while only half of him is through it. At the end of the episode, Walter goes alone to visit a graveyard in which he tearfully observes a gravestone marked "Peter Bishop 1978-1985," suggesting that Walter's legitimate son died. Nina Sharp later calls Olivia and implies to her that she can meet William Bell in Manhattan. Olivia is transported to the parallel universe and is directed to an office. After reading a newspaper headline indicating that President Obama was preparing to move into the "new" White House, she is greeted by William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) and inquires where she is. The final shot pans out the window revealing that they are standing inside the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

Development
While we make sure that our episodes are self-contained – have a beginning, a middle, and an end – the character stories can be serialized. They don't have to resolve themselves over the course of one show.
–Co-creator Alex Kurtzman
Co-creators J. J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci began the brainstorming process for Fringe in the spring of 2008. They avoided emulating Abrams' other show, Lost, because they believed its mysteries made it difficult to attract new viewers.CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and the franchise Law & Order, in an attempt to merge that genre with a more mythology-based show without creating only standalone episodes. Orci explained, "We studied procedurals specifically to try and merge the two. Very against our instincts to do that, but when nine of the top TV shows are called Law & Order and CSI, you have to study them a little bit and figure out what it is that they're doing."The Twilight Zone, Altered States, and The X-Files as well as the 1979 film Alien as inspirations for Fringe.
Jeff Pinkner, an executive producer on two of Abrams' other television series Lost and Alias, was hired to serve as showrunner and executive producer for Fringe.Fringe as being concerned with "primal fear", as "our bodies and our minds are, at the end of the day, unknowable. The ways our bodies betray us can be terrifying."
Critics as well as those involved in the show's production have acknowledged that Fringe had a rocky beginning. Abrams later noted, "It's going to sound weird, but a show starts talking to you and telling you what it wants to be. It took us a while to hear it."Lance Reddick noted "It was a constant struggle. It just didn't feel like a signature [J.J. Abrams] show — not yet."

The writers began to focus more attention on the series' mythology when Akiva Goldsman temporarily joined Fringe to write and direct a mid-season episode, "Bad Dreams." Believing "this is the stuff fans want to know", he and Bryan Burk were able to convince the other series writers to begin revealing the concept of parallel universes, despite the writers' initial intention to merely tease the idea of two worlds over two seasons. They also attempted to make Olivia's personal life more relatable by ending her storyline with John Scott and giving her a sister and niece.Fringe had started to improve.

Athletic director at Indiana University
Orwig was the athletic director at Indiana University from 1961 to 1975.Rose Bowl appearance.John Pont in football and Bobby Knight in basketball. Bobby Knight said of Orwig: "Bill Orwig, the athletic director who hired me, was a man of exceptional intelligence and class who knew how to get along with people and work with coaches. He had a great arrogance, in a positive way—he knew he was damned good at what he did. I think more than anybody else in the school's history, Bill Orwig developed Indiana's athletic program into a major league operation—facilities, teams, coaches. Sam Bell was a nationally respected track coach. Doc Counsilman was one of the great coaches of all time; John Pont took a team to the Rose Bowl; and Jerry Yeagley started the soccer program and built it from nothing into the best one going. The architect of all that, Bill Orwig, is in the college athletic directors hall of fame."
