Pinnes (also Pinneus or Pineus) (230–217 BC) was the son of Agron, king of the Ardiaei in Illyria, and Agron's first wife Triteuta. He officially succeeded his father as king in 230 BC, but the Ardiaean kingdom was ruled by Agron's second wife, Queen Teuta.
Pinnes was only a young boy when his father died in 230 BC, and his stepmother Teuta assumed de facto control. Local chiefs demanded greater power and autonomy for their regions and Teuta, who feared losing her status, appeased the aggressors. This act was seen as a sign of weakness and no ship in the Adriatic and Ionian sea was safe from Illyrian pirates who raided regardless of a ship's country or the damage it would due to Illyria's foreign relations.
Greece was the most affected by this new danger as their economy depended on the seas. Rome, sympathetic to Greece, sent delegates to mediate the situation, but this act was in vain due to Teuta's policy of isolationism. She ordered the assassinations...

Val Trompia
The Val Trompia (also: Valle Trompia) is a slightly more than 50 km long valley in the Province of Brescia, northern Italy. It consists of the valleys of the river Mella and its tributaries, north of the city of Brescia. It is situated between Val Camonica, Val Sabbia and Lake Iseo.
The name originates from the ancient Rhaetian people, the Trumpilini, the conquest of which by part of the Romans was more difficult than that of Cenomani of Brixia. Trumpilini people was listed as first in the Trophy of Augustus, a Roman monument erected between 25-14 BC near La Turbie in honor of Emperor Augustus, who subdued the Alpine tribes.
The presence in the high part of the valley of mineral veins promoted since the antiquity an important mining activity. This encouraged the development of a remarkable iron manufacturing even for the production of weapons. For this reason, under the Venetian domination, the valley was given a special autonomy and a lighter tax regime....

Kukudhi
In Albanian belief, the kukudhi is the final stage in the transformation of a vampire. It is basically the perfect vampire. It takes 30 years from the start to the finish of this transformation. During this time kukudhi grows in strength, shape, and vampiric powers. When it reaches the state of kukudhi, a vampire is no longer vulnerable to sunlight and no longer is required to return to its grave or keep the cemetery close by. In the kukudhi stage the creature is now able to travel extensively (usually as a merchant) or reside at his own home.
Like any vampire it can be destroyed by staking, decapitation, and cremation. It can be rendered harmless by hamstringing.

Path cover
Given a directed graph G = (V, E), a path cover is a set of directed paths such that every vertex v ∈ V belongs to at least one path. Note that a path cover may include paths of length 0 (a single vertex).
A path cover may also refer to a vertex-disjoint path cover, i.e., a set of paths such that every vertex v ∈ V belongs to exactly one path.
Properties
A theorem by Gallai and Milgram shows that the number of paths in a smallest path cover cannot be larger than the number of vertices in the largest independent set. In particular, for any graph G, there is a path cover P and an independent set I such that I contains exactly one vertex from each path in P. Dilworth's theorem follows as a corollary of this result.

Given a directed graph G, the minimum path cover problem consists of finding a...

Built to Last
Built to Last is the thirteenth and final studio album by the Grateful Dead. It was recorded between February 1 and October 20, 1989 and originally released on October 31, 1989.
The album was released on CD in 1989 by Arista Records before being rereleased in 2000 by BMG International. It was then remastered, expanded, and released as part of the Beyond Description (1973-1989) 12-CD box set in October 2004. The remastered version was later released separately on CD on April 11, 2006 by Rhino Records.
This album features the most songs by keyboard player Brent Mydland, who has four song credits in collaboration with Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow. This mirrored accurately Mydland's increasing vocal presence in the band over the decade he spent with the Dead. His death less than a year later would prove to end the Dead's studio album tenure.

Bentley (Suffolk) railway station
Bentley railway station, also known as Bentley Junction between 1849 and 1878, was located in Bentley, Suffolk on the Great Eastern Main Line. It had two through mainline platforms and an end bay at the country end of the down line to handle services on the Hadleigh branch. The bay could accommodate five coaches.
There were goods sidings on both the up and down sides of the station at the country or northern end and also sidings to a malthouse at the southern end of the station on the down side.
It closed in 1966.
The site of the station is still clearly identifiable at the Station Road level crossing, and the former station building is now a private dwelling.
Just to the North of the station was the branch line to Hadleigh.

Rotunde
The Rotunde in Vienna was a building erected for the Weltausstellung 1873 Wien (the Vienna World Fair of 1873). The building was a partially covered circular steel construction, 84 m (approx. 275 ft) in height and 108 m (approx. 354 ft) in diameter. For almost one century (followed after its own destruction by an exhibition hall in Belgrade, 1957) it was the largest cupola construction in the world, larger than the Pantheon in Rome (diameter 43,4 m); built in 118–125. It was designed by Austrian architect Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer and built by the German company Johann Caspar Harkort of Duisburg. The Scottish engineer for the roof was John Scott Russell who used 4,000 tons of steel with no ties.
The central building of the World Fair was accepted enthusiastically by the public. It was used for shows and fairs later on. Alexander Girardi performed a concert in this hall. In 1898 a "Collektivausstellung österreichischer Automobilbauer" (Collective Exhibition of Austrian...

Democratic Alliance (Philippines)
The Democratic Alliance of the Philippines is made up of nationalist and progressive forces, primarily former members of the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas. Most supported Sergio Osmeña and the Nacionalista Party against Manuel Roxas and the Liberal Party during the 1946 elections. However, six democratically elected DA congressmen were prevented from attending Congress to vote on important legislation such as the Parity Clause and Bell Trade Act, which slanted trade and military agreements with the United States in the latter's favor. The Bell Act was approved by the Philippine legislature on July 2, 1946. The parity clause, however, required an amendment relating to the 1935 constitution's thirteenth article. This amendment could be obtained only with the approval of three-quarters of the members of the House and Senate, as well as a plebiscite.

Siegfried Reinhardt
Siegfried Gerhard Reinhardt born July 31, 1925 in Eydkuhnen, Germany, died October 24, 1984 in St. Louis, Missouri was a prolific artist and teacher based for most of his career, 1955-1970 at Washington University in St. Louis, where he had taken his Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature in 1950. He was also a prominent member of the St. Louis Artists Guild. He was the son of Otto Frederick and Minni (Kukat) Reinhardt, and emigrated with them in 1928 (naturalized in 1936). His best-known work is perhaps the series of murals he executed at Lambert International Airport illustrating the history of aviation. He was a pioneer in combining elements of realism and surrealism in a style known sometimes as superrealism. From 1949 to 1984 he worked with Emil Frei in the design and execution of stained glass windows, including the (1960) Easter Window in the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, in Sunset Hills, Missouri, of which Reinhardt said:

Molen van Schoonoord
The Molen van Schoonoord is a smock mill in Schoonoord, Drenthe, the Netherlands. The mill was built in 1903 and is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 33784. It is now used as living accommodation.
History
A mill was built here in 1854. It stood until it was severely damaged in a storm in 1903, when the cap and sails were blown off. To replace it, a mill was moved here in 1903, having previously been used as an oil mill in Middelstum, Groningen, under the name Molen van Faber. The mill was built for J S de Vries. The mill was repaired in 1937 by millwright Christiaan Bremer of Adorp, Groningen. In 1946, Sails with leading edges streamlined using the Van Bussel system were fitted. The mill was working until 1952, and then stood idle. The mill was dismantled in 1978, the cap surviving alongside the mill. The smock survives to its full height, retaining the stage. The mill is used as living accommodation.

Launched in Beijing in March 2011, China's first vinyl-only record label was initially intended as a platform for founder Nevin Domer's hardcore band Fanzui Xiangfa (犯罪想法) to release and distribute their own recordings. After realizing the large potential for a new independent record label, Domer determined that he could also help like-minded independent Chinese musicians to release material on vinyl, a medium that had been rapidly gaining favor within the country's growing collector community throughout the mid-2010s.
Since then, Genjing Records has shifted its mission statement to focus primarily on creating connections between China's DIY independent music community and its international counterparts, a process that is primarily facilitated by the release of split 7" records in cooperation with...

HD 90156
HD 90156 is a 7th magnitude G-type main sequence star located approximately 73 light years away in the constellation Hydra. This star is smaller, cooler, fainter, and less massive than our Sun. Also its metal content is over half as much as the Sun. In 2009, a gas giant planet was found in orbit around the star.
This star was designated as Gamma Antliae by Lacaille, and Gould intended to keep it in that constellation. However, the delineating of constellation boundaries in 1930 saw it transferred to Hydra.

Riddick Bowe vs. Andrew Golota II
Riddick Bowe vs. Andrew Golota II was a professional boxing match contested on December 14, 1996. The bout was a rematch of a controversial fight held earlier in the year at Madison Square Garden as part of a nationally televised HBO event.
Background
In early 1996 Bowe had agreed with Lennox Lewis to fight at some point in the year. Eventually it was agreed upon that the two would meet in September of that year, and as part of the deal both men were signed to fight two separate fights immediately before. Bowe, who had not fought since knocking out Evander Holyfield in their third meeting in 1995, signed to fight the Polish contender Golota, who was undefeated but widely unknown as a proven fighter. Bowe did not take Golota seriously and went through training half-seriously, claiming that he didn't know how to train for "a bum" and infuriating his trainer Eddie Futch who was growing impatient with Bowe's apparent lack of desire to train. Bowe came into...

.22 PPC
.22 PPC is a firearm cartridge used primarily in benchrest shooting. It was designed by Dr. Louis Palmisano and Ferris Pindell in 1974 and was originally a wildcat cartridge until 1987, when SAKO, a Finnish firearms manufacturer, began producing commercial .22 PPC rifles and ammunition. Since then, several other manufacturers have created rifles chambered in .22 PPC, including Norma and Remington Arms.

A Fórmula de Deus
A Fórmula de Deus (God's Formula), in English The Einstein Enigma, is the fourth novel written by the Portuguese journalist and writer José Rodrigues dos Santos, published in 2006 in Portugal. It was the best-selling novel in Portugal in 2006, selling 100,000 copies.
The novel narrates a quest for the scientific proof of the existence of god by a Portuguese professor, Tomás Noronha, based on a formula developed by Einstein himself. The adventure takes place in Iran, Tibet and Portugal, with the involvement of the CIA. The book presents an innovative view about the origins of the universe, based on recent physics theories.
Story
It is the spring of 1951. Just off a small street in Princeton, NJ, an unidentified man stands hidden, carefully monitoring an unfolding scene. A police-escorted motorcade stops at a small, unremarkable house while an old man with a shock of white hair jumps out of the lead car. As he ambles up the walkway, a man of around...

Beinn Dearg (Torridon)
Beinn Dearg is the 4th highest of the Torridon mountains in the highlands of Scotland. Beinn Dearg offers all the typical features of a Torridon hill, with steeply terraced rocky sides dissected by near vertical gullies. The summit ridge is an airy crest that offers some easy scrambling; alternatively this can be avoided by following a path that traverses the terraces on the southern side.
Unlike its higher neighbours, the hill just misses out on the magic height of 3,000 ft, and therefore lacks any peaks of Munro status. For this reason, if no other, it is climbed far less than the three major mountains surrounding it. In 2007, the Munro Society commissioned CMCR Ltd to survey Beinn Dearg in order to ascertain the precise height of the summit, and determine whether it might in fact be correctly categorised as a Munro. The summit was found to be 2.42 ft short [1].

Concentric hypertrophy
Concentric hypertrophy is a hypertrophic growth of a hollow organ without overall enlargement, in which the walls of the organ are thickened and its capacity or volume is diminished.
Sarcomeres are added in parallel, as in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In the heart concentric hypertrophy is related to increased pressure overload of the heart, often due to hypertension and/or aortic stenosis. The consequence is a decrease in ventricular compliance and diastolic dysfunction, followed eventually by ventricular failure and systolic dysfunction.
Laplace's law for a sphere states wall stress (T) is proportionate to the product of the transmural pressure (P) and cavitary radius (r) and inversely proportionate to wall thickness (W): In response to the pressure overload left ventricular wall thickness markedly increases—while the cavitary radius remains relatively unchanged. These compensatory changes, termed "concentric hypertrophy," reduce the increase in wall tension...

Harvard Avenue Historic District
The Harvard Avenue Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Linden Street, Commonwealth Avenue, Harvard Avenue, and Park Vale Avenue in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Its spine is Harvard Avenue, a major north-south thoroughfare connecting Allston to points north (generally via Cambridge Street toward Cambridge), and south toward Brookline. The area underwent a population explosion in the early 20th century, and Harvard Avenue was developed roughly between 1905 and 1925 as a commercial and residential spine. Notable buildings in the district include the Allston Station building, designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, and the Harvard Avenue Fire Station.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Trunks (clothing)
Trunks are brief shorts, loose-fitting or tight, worn for sports, especially boxing, swimming, and track.
When worn as swimsuit, trunks are often referred to as swimming trunks or bathing trunks (or with the more general term bathing suit or a synonym) and are normally shorter than board shorts, which extend to the knees. Trunks are the most popular type of male swimsuit in North America. They vary in style and design, though most are made of nylon with a mesh lining for quick drying.
Other usage
In British English, the term trunks is used as in American English as described above, but it can also refer to men's underpants with legs that reach mid thigh, alternatively called boxer briefs.
In American English, the term is sometimes used to refer to trunk hose, defined by the Collins American English Dictionary as "full, baggy breeches reaching about halfway down the thigh, worn in the 16th and 17th cent."...

Capillary pressure
In fluid statics, capillary pressure is the difference in pressure across the interface between two immiscible fluids, and thus defined as
In oil-water systems, water is typically the wetting phase, while for gas-oil systems, oil is typically the wetting phase.
The Young–Laplace equation states that this pressure difference is proportional to the interfacial tension, , and inversely proportional to the effective radius, , of the interface, it also depends on the wetting angle, , of the liquid on the surface of the capillary.
The equation for capillary pressure is only valid under capillary equilibrium, which means that there can not be any flowing phases.

The Ardabil Carpet
The Ardabil Carpet (Ardebil Carpet) is either of a pair of two famous Iranian carpets in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The foundation is of silk with wool pile of a knot density at 300–350 knots per square inch (47–54 knots per cm2). The size of the London carpet is 34 1⁄2 by 17 1⁄2 feet (10.5 m × 5.3 m), which gives it about 26 million knots in total. The carpets have an inscription: a couplet from a ghazal by Persian mythic poet Hafiz Shirazi and a signature. The difference in size between the two lamp motifs flanking the central medallion is now seen as a deliberate use of graphical perspective; when seen from the end with the smaller lamp the two appear the same size.
Completed during the rule of the Safavid Shah Tahmasp I in the mid-16th century, probably in Tabriz, the carpets are considered some of the best of the classical...

Ajatar
In Finnish folklore, Ajatar (also spelled Aiatar, Ajattaro or Ajattara) is a spirit known as "Devil of the Woods". It is an evil female spirit that manifests as a snake or dragon. Ajatar is said to be the mother of the devil. She spreads disease and pestilence, any that look at her become ill, and she suckles serpents. Ajatar is related to the Lithuanian Aitvaras and the Estonian Äi, Äijo or Äijattar. She is in some ways similar to Babylonian Tiamat, dragon mother of the gods and goddesses.
The word "ajatar" is possibly derived from the verb ajattaa, "make to pursue", of Finnish word ajaa, "to pursue" (also: "to drive").

Torment (puzzle game)
Torment is an internet puzzle game created on April 12, 2007. Created by a person using the alias 'Grngecko', the puzzle is widely known for being unsolved for over 4 years. Almost nothing was known about 'Grngecko' apart that from he/she is the creator of the game, until his email account was hacked by members of Anonymous in May 2011. In June 2011, Grngecko declared the puzzle over with the words "Show's over, go home" on the popular puzzle site Tweleve after provocation from a member of the site. Since then the Torment site, and all affiliated sites (deaddrop.cc, themostabtruse.com) have been closed, although the Torment site itself has since been online.
Torment features different levels or stages that one must complete in order to complete the game. The game features extremely difficult puzzles, mostly cryptograms. The player must figure out the cipher before progressing onto the next stage. An example of such a cipher is the one used in Edgar Allan Poe's story "The...

Bundesstraße 327
The Bundesstraße 327 is a German federal highway. It was built in 1938 and 1939 by the Organisation Todt as a strategic road leading from Koblenz over the Hunsrück mountain range to the Westwall near Perl. After the war, the west part of the road after Hermeskeil was relabeled as the Bundesstraße 407, while the Bundesstraße 327 went south to Riegelsberg near Saarbrücken. This part was later demoted after the Bundesautobahn 1 was built, as such the Bundesstraße 327 now ends in Hermeskeil.
There is currently a gap in the federal road due to the extension of the runway of Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, which required demolition of one segment of road.

He eventually lost his place mainly due to tactical reasons, not for any keeping deficiencies. With one day game becoming more and more competitive, the team required a wicketkeeper who can bat up the order. Other players fulfilled this criterion better than Nasu. After retiring from cricket as a player, Nasu continued to serve the game as a national selector.

Worleston railway station
Worleston railway station was located just north of the small village of Worleston, Cheshire, England. Opened 1 October 1840 by the Grand Junction Railway, it was served by what was the Chester and Crewe Railway (now part of the North Wales Coast Line) between Chester, Cheshire and Crewe, Cheshire.
The station was originally named Nantwich until the town got its own station in 1858. There were two platforms, the brick built ticket office being on the down platform and a wooden waiting room on the up platform. Both were connected by a footbridge. The station closed to passengers in 1952 and to goods traffic in 1959.

Helsingør
Helsingør (Danish pronunciation: [hɛlseŋˈøɐ̯ˀ]; often known in English-speaking countries as Elsinore) is a city and the municipal seat of Helsingør Municipality on the northeast coast of the island of Zealand in eastern Denmark. Helsingør has a population of 46,407 (1 January 2014) including the southern suburbs of Snekkersten and Espergærde. It is known internationally for its castle Kronborg, where William Shakespeare's play Hamlet is set.
History
The name Helsingør is derived from the word hals meaning "neck" or "narrow strait", referring to the narrow strait (Øresund - Øre Sound, or locally Sundet - "The Sound") between what is now Helsingør and Helsingborg, Sweden. The Rerum Danicarum Historica (1631) claims that the history of Helsingør can be traced back to 70 BC, but this information is highly dubious.

Threestripe corydoras
The three stripe corydoras (Corydoras trilineatus), leopard catfish, False Julii Corydoras, or three line catfish is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the Callichthyidae family. It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the central Amazon River basin in Brazil and Colombia, Peruvian Amazon and coastal rivers in Suriname.
The fish will grow in length up to 2.5 inches (6.1 centimeters). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0–8.0 pH, a water hardness of 5–19 dGH, and a temperature range of 72–79 °F (22–26 °C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs. The female holds 2-4 eggs between her pelvic fins, where the male fertilizes them for about 30 seconds. Only then does the female swim to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. The pair repeats this process until about...

Llandrindod Wells
Llandrindod Wells or simply Llandrindod (in Welsh) is a town and community in Powys, within the historic boundaries of Radnorshire, Wales. It serves as the seat of Powys County Council and thus the administrative centre of Powys. It was developed as a spa town in the 19th century, with a boom in the late 20th century as a centre of local government.

History
During the mid-18th century the 'healing qualities' of the local spring waters attracted visitors to the area resulting in an economic boom with the building of a 'splendid' hotel at Llandrindod Hall. A period of relative decline during the late 18th and early 19th centuries was reversed with the construction of the Heart of Wales Line making Llandrindod accessible from the Midlands and North West of England...

Harry (newspaper)
Harry was an underground newspaper founded and edited by Michael Carliner and Tom D'Antoni and published biweekly in Baltimore, Maryland from 1969 to 1972. A total of at least 41 issues were published, with an average circulation of 6,000 to 8,000 copies. P. J. O'Rourke, then a student at Johns Hopkins University, was a regular contributor and one of its editors. The publication was arbitrarily named by a neighbor's 2-year-old son, who was reportedly calling everything "Harry" at the time.
The newspaper published in a 20 page black and white tabloid format, with news in front, followed by cultural features and a community calendar. Harry's slogan, just below its flag, declared its mission: "Serving the Baltimore Underground Community". Many of the staff lived in a Baltimore row house commune called "Harry." There was also an annex called "Harry's Aunt" down the block.

The Frogs (album)
The Frogs is a self-titled debut album by The Frogs. It was originally released in limited quantities (only 1010 copies on black vinyl),][1] and was re-released on CD by Moikai Records in 1999.[2] The album was recorded on 8-Track at Pearl Studios in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and it took a long time to record because of the engineer's limited availability. After this album, The Frogs would release recordings made at home. This debut album gave listeners only a mere taste of the demented humor that was to follow on their second album.

Silver pheasant
The silver pheasant (Lophura nycthemera) is a species of pheasant found in forests, mainly in mountains, of mainland Southeast Asia, and eastern and southern China, with introduced populations in Hawaii and various locations in the US mainland. The male is black and white, while the female is mainly brown. Both sexes have a bare red face and red legs (the latter separating it from the greyish-legged kalij pheasant). It is common in aviculture, and overall also remains common in the wild, but some of its subspecies (notably whiteheadi from Hainan, engelbachi from southern Laos, and annamensis from southern Vietnam) are rare and threatened.
Taxonomy
Like other pheasants, the silver pheasant was placed in the genus Phasianus when described by Linnaeus in 1758. Since then it – or at least some of the subspecies associated with it – have been placed either in Euplocamus or Gennceus. Today all major authorities...
