# I Miss My Friend (song)

**"I Miss My Friend"** is a song written by Tom Shapiro, Mark Nesler and Tony Martin, and recorded by American country music singer Darryl Worley. It was released in March 2002 the first single and title track from his album of the same name. The song became his first number one single on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart. It also crossed over to pop radio, peaking at #28 on the *Billboard* Hot 100.

## Development and promotion

DreamWorks promoted the album in conjunction with long-distance telephone company MCI for monitored stations to give away "I Miss My Friend"-themed phone cards in on-air contests.

## Content

The song is a ballad to a lost significant other. In the verses, the narrator lists the details of his significant other that he misses, stating in the chorus that what he misses the most of all is her friendship.

It features accompaniment from piano, mandolin, and a string section throughout.

## Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Shaun Silva, and features Worley playing guitar, facing a woman who is sitting on a couch. The camera predominantly alternates between a full shot showing both subjects, a close-up of the singer's face and a top-down shot of Worley and the rear wall; occasional shots from over Worley's shoulder shows the woman's reactions between song phrases. The left wall (which the woman looks toward) is not shown until the outro: the woman stands, walks through Worley and reveals that her reactions during the song were due to a home movie playing on a television behind the singer. Worley then stands up and walks away, disappearing into white light.

## Critical reception

*People* magazine called the tune "a unique, thoughtful take on romantic remorse that demonstrates Worley's sensitive brand of country," and noted that "Although the singer didn't have a hand in composing that tune...his eye for smart material is evident."

## Chart performance

"I Miss My Friend" debuted at #51 on the Hot Country Songs chart dated March 23, 2002. Having charted for 32 weeks on that chart, it reached Number One on the country chart dated September 21, 2002, holding that position for one week.

# I basilischi

***I basilischi***, English language titles ***The Basilisks*** or ***The Lizards***, is a 1963 Italian comedy-drama film written and directed by Lina Wertmüller. It was Wertmüller's directorial debut.

## Plot

Francesco, Sergio, and Antonio are three privileged young individuals residing in a typical provincial town, Minervino Murge, located between Puglia and Basilicata. The film portrays their lives, now saturated with apathy and provincialism, hindering any genuine desire to pursue more stimulating horizons.

When Antonio's aunt, an indifferent university student, offers him the opportunity to live with her in Rome and transfer his enrollment from the University of Bari to the capital, he eventually declines. Incapable of abandoning the ingrained prejudices, stereotypes, and rituals of his native province, he returns to the village, his decision irreversible.

The conclusion features a quote from the Southern Italian scholar Giustino Fortunato: "We are what race, climate, location, and history have determined us to be."

## Cast

## Legacy

*I basilischi* was shown as part of the retrospective "Questi fantasmi: Cinema italiano ritrovato" at the 65th Venice International Film Festival. A 4K restoration of the film was screened at the Museum of Modern Art in December 2023.

title: Off-hook tone

abstract: The off-hook tone is a telephony signal for alerting a user that the telephone has been left off-hook without use for an extended period, effectively disabling the telephone line.

# Off-hook tone

The **off-hook tone** (also **off-hook warning**, **howling tone,** or **howler tone**) is a telephony signal for alerting a user that the telephone has been left off-hook without use for an extended period, effectively disabling the telephone line.

## North America

The off-hook tone in exchanges of the North American Numbering Plan consists of a superposition of tones with the frequencies 1400 Hz, 2060 Hz, 2450 Hz, and 2600 Hz, played at a cadence of 100 ms on and 100 ms off. The signal is applied to the local loop by the switching system for permanent signal treatment to alert an end user (subscriber) of an off-hook condition of the telephone set, i.e. that the telephone handset should be placed on-hook.

Before playing the signal, a certain timeout has to elapse, and on some systems an intercept message is announced (e.g. "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator. This is a recording.").

A single burst of off-hook tone is sometimes used to indicate to a party that the call is being transferred, notably at 1-800-BELL-SOUTH (800-235-5768).

Some central office switches in the United States, notably older GTD-5 EAX systems, utilize a single frequency tone, 480 Hz, known as *High Tone* for this purpose. In either case, the tone is substantially louder than any other signal transmitted over a copper POTS circuit; loud enough to be heard across a room from an unused off-hook telephone.

## Howler

In the United Kingdom, a warbling signal sounding rather like an alarm siren is played at steadily increasing volume to a telephone left off-hook and unused on telephone lines provided by the BT Group and many PABX extensions. It is sometimes referred to as a *howler.*

In some cases it is composed of the DTMF tones * and # played alternately.

Telephone lines provided by NTL/Virgin Media tend to use the American-style tones, including a recorded message.

# Ibragim-Bek Sarakaev

**Ibragim-Bek Sarakaev** (21 September 1883 – 1934) was one of the first Chechen writers and publicists, as well as a historian on the traditions and folklore of the Chechen people.

## Biography

Sarakaev was born on September 21, 1883, in a fortress of Vedeno. At the beginning of the 20th century, Sarakaev completed his education in the city of Vladikavkaz and left in 1902 to the city of Tiflis. There he began his literary and journalistic career, working in the widely known and popular magazine *Caucasus*. In 1907, Ibragim-Bek Sarakaev moved to Vladikavkaz and got a job in the newspaper *Terek* (the then-visible revolutionary Sergey Kirov worked there also). Those years he had written "Nohcho", "Chechen", "Vedanho" and many other stories which were only published in 1911–14.

He also has more than 30 materials on the Chechen Republic that discuss problems of refereeing, culture and formation development, in which it openly criticised lawlessness and an arbitrariness made by representatives of the power. Stories and such large historic-philosophical researches such as *Mjuridizm*, *Court and Execution of Shamil* and others were published as well, and under his own surname. In the same years in Vladikavkaz, two large is art-documentary works of Ibragim-Beka Sarakaeva have been printed: in 1913, the book *On Slums of the Chechen Republic*, and in 1914, *The Chechen Republic and Capture of Shamil*. They were the first books in the history of the Chechen Republic, truthfully written by the Chechen about the life of the people. In those books, the literary skill of Ibragim-Bek Sarakaeva especially showed.

After the beginning of the First World War, Sarakaev registered in the Savage division. For courage shown in fights on southwest front, Ibragim-Bek was promoted to officer, and then further served as a lieutenant colonel. He was awarded with Sacred George's awards of IV degree and Sacred Anna of II degree with swords.

## In the Soviet Republic

In 1914 Ibragim-Bek Sarakaev left for war and wrote and sketched his own stories, but was dissatisfied with their quality and he seldom set them into print. For last 20 years of his life of Ibragim-Bek Sarakaev has been written a little. After the revolution of 1917, he served as the official under special commissions in the Mountain Government. In the days of the civil war, under Kirov's recommendation, Sarakaev served in the well-known XI Red Army as the vice-commander on supply. After a victory of the Soviet power in the Chechen Republic, he became the deputy chief of militia of the Chechen region. The people's Commissariat of Internal Affairs was pursued, but died a natural death in 1934. He is buried in native village Vedeno.

# Ibraaz

***Ibraaz*** is an online forum for visual culture in North Africa and the Middle East.

## Publication

*Ibraaz* publishes an annual online platform that focuses on research questions conceived through a network of editorial contributors based in the Middle East and beyond. Its key editorial aim is to publish emerging writers and artists, alongside work by internationally renowned writers, academics, curators, activists, and filmmakers.

*Ibraaz* works by posing annual ‘platforms’ where a question is put to writers, thinkers and artists about an issue relevant to the MENA region. This platform is sent to respondents both within and beyond the MENA region. Content is added to the website every month. Contributions are archived every twelve months when a new platform begins.

*Ibraaz* also publishes a series of books, edited by Anthony Downey, under the 'Visual Culture in the Middle East' title. To date, these have included *Future Imperfect: Contemporary Art Practices and Cultural Institutions in the Middle East* (Sternberg Press, 2016); *Dissonant Archives: Contemporary Visual Culture and Contested Narratives in the Middle East* (I.B. Tauris, 2015); and *Uncommon Grounds: New Media and Critical Practices in North Africa and the Middle East* (I.B. Tauris, 2014).

## History

*Ibraaz* was set up from discussions between Anthony Downey, Kamel Lazaar and Lina Lazaar. It was founded as a research platform to rethink stereotypical frames of reference that have defined discussions around cultural production from within and beyond the Middle East. The inaugural platform was launched as part of the 54th Venice Biennale in June 2011, alongside the exhibition *The Future of a Promise*, the largest Pan-Arab exhibition to be held at the Venice Biennale. *Ibraaz* Platform 001 responded to regional developments across North Africa and the Middle East, the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ and its effects upon the visual culture of the region. *Ibraaz* is an initiative of the Kamel Lazaar Foundation.

## Scope of coverage and activities

*Ibraaz*’s content covers mostly contemporary visual culture from or about the Middle East and its diaspora. However, it can also include non-visual culture, such as sound-based art, and other periods, such as Modern art. The content consists of essays, interviews, reviews, artists' projects, platform responses and video contributions in its online channel.

In addition to the online platform and publications, *Ibraaz* organize and co-host events relating to visual culture in the Middle East. These include book launches, panel discussions and the annual JAOU Tunis conference. In 2013, *Ibraaz* held the conference *Future Imperfect: Cultural Propositions and Global Perspectives* at Tate Modern, London. The event featured contributors including Douglas Coupland, Raqs Media Collective, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Zineb Sedira, and others.

*Ibraaz* periodically collaborates with a range of international artists and organisations, frequently publishing online exhibition catalogues and audiovisual content. Such partnerships have included with Asia Contemporary Art Week's FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice, held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Asia Society, New York City, USA in 2016; the Palestinian biennial Qalandiya International; the Delfina Foundation, London; Hayward Gallery, London, and Maraya Art Center, Sharjah; and The Jerusalem Show, Jerusalem.

# Ohio State Route 689

**State Route 689** (**SR 689**) is a northsouth state highway in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at SR 160 a mile north of Wilkesville, and its northern terminus is at SR 32 about 6 miles (9.7 km) southwest of Albany.

## Route description

SR 689 passes through two counties along its path, Vinton and Meigs. This state highway is not included within the National Highway System.

## History

SR 689 first appeared in 1937 along the routing that it currently occupies. Originally, its northern terminus was at a two-lane SR 346, the predecessor to SR 32. In the early 1970s, the construction of the Appalachian Highway (originally numbered SR 346 at its completion, later renumbered to SR 32) truncated the highway very slightly at its northern terminus. No other major changes have occurred to the routing since then.

# Tenterfield Oration

The **Tenterfield Oration** was a speech given by Sir Henry Parkes, Premier of the Colony of New South Wales at the Tenterfield School of Arts in Tenterfield, in rural New South Wales, Australia, on 24 October 1889. In the Oration, Parkes called for the Federation of the six Australian colonies, which were at the time self-governing but under the distant central authority of the British Colonial Secretary. The speech is considered to be the start of the federation process in Australia, which led to the foundation of the Commonwealth of Australia 12 years later.

## Background

The north of New South Wales suffered from the disunited administration, as it was distant from the colony's capital of Sydney but closer to commercial areas across the border, in Queensland. Border importation tariffs were imposed by Queensland, and people in neighbouring districts were strongly in favour of free trade.

The primary reason given by Premier Parkes for federation in the Tenterfield Oration was the united defence of the Australian continent. In a 1999 address, Bob Carr (premier of NSW 1995–2005) compared the Tenterfield Oration's significance for Australia with that of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in America.

At Tenterfield, Parkes urged the seven colonies (the seventh being the Colony of New Zealand) to 'unite and create a great national government for all Australia'. He explicitly stated the inspiration that the United States should hold for Australians in terms of its gaining any independence from the British. This sentiment struck a chord with colonials. Due to the widespread publication of this speech in Australian newspapers, and due also to Parkes' subsequent roles in petitioning the Queen and in drafting the constitution, he is regarded as the "father of federation". The site of the Tenterfield Oration was commemorated by the Commonwealth Governor General in 1946.

Prompted by Parkes' Tenterfield Oration, the colonies agreed to send delegates to Melbourne in 1890 for a Constitutional Conference. That set in motion the process of writing and adopting the Commonwealth Constitution over the course of the 1890s, resulting in the union of the colonies and the establishment of a system of federalism in Australia.

## The Speech

The speech referred to the Parliament of New South Wales and the Parliament of Queensland, and quoted the poem *The Dominion* by James Brunton Stephens:

> I can not find words with which to acknowledge your toast to the Ministry and myself, without remembering the time when I stood for a short period in intimate relationships with you, as the Member for Tenterfield. This was one of the passages of my life that is not likely to fade away as I remember how generously you elected me within a few hours of my defeat for East Sydney in 1884. I also remember the generous confidence you showed in refusing to accept my resignation on the occasion of my thirteen month visit to England.
>
> There are two important questions towards which your attention ought to be directed. You must have heard something of the Federal Council, on which NSW has not yet taken a place. It sat in Tasmania and held sessions which never appeared to interest any one. But if we are to carry out the recommendations of General Edwards on matters military, it will be absolutely necessary for us to have a central authority, which could bring all the forces of the different colonies into one army.
>
> Some colony statesmen have said that this might be done by means of the Federal Council. But this Federal Council has no power to do anything of the sort. It is not an elective body, but merely a body appointed by the governments of the various colonies. Their argument, therefore, is necessarily weak, and under the Imperial Act which appointed it, the Federal Council has no power to set up or control a great Australian Army. The Federal Council has no executive power. It may propose but not execute. I would like to know what would become of an army without a central executive power to guide its movements. One way which has been suggested out of the difficulty is that the Imperial Parliament be asked to pass a measure authorising the troops of the colonies to unite in one federal army. But still, even if this were done, there would be an absence of the necessary executive government. The colonies would object to the armies being under the control of the Imperial Government and none of these colonies could direct it.
>
> The great question which we have to consider is, whether the time has not now arisen for the creation on this Australian continent of an Australian government and an Australian parliament.
>
> To make myself as plain as possible, Australia has now a population of three and a half millions, and the American people numbered only between three and four millions when they formed the great Commonwealth of the United States. The numbers are about the same. Surely what the Americans have done by war, Australians can bring about in peace. Believing, as I do, that it is essential to preserve the security and integrity of these colonies, then the whole of our forces should be amalgamated into one great Federal army. Seeing no other means of obtaining these ends, it seems to me that the time is close at hand when we ought to set about creating this great national Government for all Australia.
>
> This subject brings us face to face with another subject. We have now, from South Australia to Queensland, a stretch of about two thousand miles of railways and if the four colonies could only combine to adopt a uniform gauge, it would be an immense advantage in the movement of troops. These are two great national questions which I wish to lay before you: one great federal army and a nationwide uniform-gauge railway line.
>
> I have just returned from Brisbane, and the object of my business has been not to force my advice on the authorities there, but to discuss with them these matters. Unfortunately, owing to the illness of the Head of Ministry, our communications were rather of a private character than otherwise. But without disclosing any confidences, I think that both sides of politics sympathised warmly and closely with the views, which I expressed to them. As to the steps, which should be taken to bring about the foregoing, a conference of authorities has been suggested but we must take a broader and more powerful action on the initiation of this great council. We must appoint a convention of leading men from all the colonies. Delegates should be appointed by the authority of Parliament and fully represent the opinion of the different parliaments of the colonies. This Convention will have to devise the Constitution which will be necessary for bringing into existence a Federal Government with a Federal Parliament for the conduct of this great national undertaking.
>
> The only argument which could be advanced in opposition to the views I have put forward, is that the time has *not* come and that we must remain isolated colonies, just in the same way as we are now. I believe, however, that the time has come; and that, in the words of Brunton Stephens, the Queensland poet: – I ask:
>
> “Not yet her day! How long? Not yet! There comes her flush of violet! And heavenward faces all aflame, With sanguine imminence of morn, Wait but the sun's kiss to proclaim The day of the Dominion born.”
>
> I believe that the time has come, and if two Governments set an example, the others must soon of necessity follow. There will be an uprising in this fair land of a goodly fabric of free Government, and all great national questions of magnitude affecting the welfare of the colonies will be disposed of by a fully authorised constitutional authority. This means a distinct executive and a distinct parliamentary power for the whole of Australia, and it means a Parliament of two Houses, a House of Commons and a Senate, which will legislate on these great subjects.
>
> The Government and Parliament of New South Wales would be just as effective as now in all local matters, and so would the Parliament of Queensland. All great questions will be dealt with in a broad manner just as the Congress deals with the national affairs of the United States and as the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada deals with similar questions.
>
> The opportunity has arisen for the consideration of this great subject and I believe that the time is at hand... when this thing will be done. Indeed, this great thing will *have* to be done, and to put it off will only tend to make the difficulties which stand in the way, greater.

abstract: The Saints Peter and Matthew the Apostles Parish Church of Toa Baja, better known as the St. Peter the Apostle Parish Church of Toa Baja, is a historic 16h-century Roman Catholic parish church located in the main town square of Toa Baja Pueblo, the administrative and historic center of the municipality of Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. The church is notable for having its façade facing the La Plata River rather than the town square as it is usual in Puerto Rican towns (pueblos). Local tradition states that this was due to historical floods and consequent modifications made to the church. A small chapel that dated to before the official founding of Toa Baja used to occupy the site of the current church. The current façade, similar to that of the parish church of Vega Alta, dates to the 18th century. The church is of artistic notability for its chiseled gold and silver rococo ornamentations, described by Iñigo Abbad y Lasierra in 1775 as one of the best adorned in the island.

# Frank Ryan (tenor)

**Frank Ryan** (5 October 1900 – 17 July 1965) was an Irish tenor.

## Biography

Ryan was born in Fermoy, County Cork, Ireland in October 1900. His family moved to Tallow, County Waterford, when Frank was six years old, and his parents began a victualing business. His voice developed late, and after it was discovered in his mid-20s that he was a tenor, he won the Tenor Solo award at the Dublin Feis Ceoil in 1931 and the Feis Matthew on four occasions. He joined the Fermoy Choral Society in 1935 and took leading roles in *The Gondoliers*, *Pirates of Penzance*, *The Geisha*, *The Yeomen of the Guard*, *H.M.S. Pinafore*, *The Mikado*, and in later years, *Lilac Time.*

When Frank Ryan competed for the Joseph O'Mara cup at the Dublin Feis Ceoil in 1938, he was commended by the adjudicator, Topliss Green, for his beautiful yet untrained voice, which Green compared to that of John McCormack.

He turned professional when he joined the Dublin Operatic Society in 1939, and sang leading roles in *Faust*, *Maritana*, *The Bohemian Girl*, *Ernani*, *The Magic Flute,* *The Lily of Killarney*, *Martha*, *Cavalleria rusticana* and *La bohème*. He sang with well-known leading ladies of the time such as Joan Hammond and Marion Studholme. He traveled extensively, appearing in London (Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Seymour Hall), Glasgow, Belgium, Italy, France, Malta, and the United States. He gave many concerts all over the U.S., including The Royal Academy, Brooklyn, and a full recital in Carnegie Hall, New York City, where he sang 32 songs.

He appeared regularly on Radio Éireann, BBC and RTÉ. His last public performance was in Fermoy, County Cork, Ireland on 29 June 1965; he died three weeks later on 17 July 1965, aged 64.

Admiral **Sir Henry John Studholme Brownrigg**, KBE, CB, DSO (3 September 1882 – 24 January 1943) was a Royal Navy officer who was Commander-in-Chief, The Nore.

Brownrigg joined the Royal Navy, was promoted to acting sub-lieutenant on 3 September 1901 and subsequently confirmed in that rank from the same date. In November 1902 he was posted to the pre-dreadnought battleship HMS *Ramillies*, serving in the Mediterranean Fleet.

He served in World War I and took part in the Battle of Jutland in 1916, as executive officer of HMS *Barham* (with rank of Commander). He went on to be Chief of Staff at the Africa Station and, from 1925, deputy director of the Gunnery Division. He became Director of the Gunnery Division in 1926 and Chief of Staff at Plymouth in 1927. He was made Captain of HMS *Courageous* in 1929 and then joined the staff of the Director of Naval Ordnance in 1931.

He became Rear Admiral commanding 3rd Cruiser Squadron in 1933 and Vice-Admiral Mediterranean Fleet in 1935. He was Admiral commanding the Reserves from 1936 and Commander-in-Chief, The Nore from January to December 1939. He served in World War II as officer commanding the Home Guard at Chatham from 1940 to 1941. He came out of retirement to take charge of convoys. He sailed as Commodore of Convoy ON 16 in SS *Ville de Tamatave* (a ship captured from the Vichy French in 1941), departing Liverpool on 12 January 1943 en route for New York. The convoy ran into a violent storm in the North Atlantic towards the evening of 23 January. Messages were received from the *Ville de Tamatave* indicating that she had lost her rudder and, an hour later, that she was sinking. The other ships were not able to render assistance, and *Ville de Tamatave* was lost with all hands, including Brownrigg, on 24 January 1943.

title: Ständchen, WAB 84.2

abstract: "Ständchen" ("Serenade"), WAB 84.2, is a Lied composed by Anton Bruckner in c. 1846.

text:
# Ständchen, WAB 84.2

**"*Ständchen*"** ("Serenade"), WAB 84.2, is a Lied composed by Anton Bruckner in c.1846.

## History

Bruckner composed this serenade, which he dedicated to Mrs. Schlager, the wife of the mayor of St. Florian, during the beginning of his stay in St. Florian. For the composition Bruckner used a text, which he had already used for the unfinished lied **Wie des Bächleins Silberquelle**, WAB 84.1.

It is not known when the piece was performed. The work, of which the original manuscript is stored in the archive of the Liedertafel *Frohsinn*, was first issued in Band II/2, pp. 61–64 of the Göllerich/Auer biography. It was thereafter issued in 1954, together with *Sternschnuppen*, in the *Chorblattreihe* of Robitschek, Vienna. It is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 3 of the **Gesamtausgabe**.

## Text

***Ständchen*** is using a text of an unknown author (possibly Ernst Marinelli).

## Music

The 29-bar long work in 6/8 is in G major. It is scored for TTBB quartet and tenor soloist. During the first 18 bars the text is sung by the tenor soloist with accompaniment of humming voices. From bar 19, the second part (**Wandle froh durchs Leben weiter**) is sung again by the men's quartet.

# Widnes Central railway station

**Widnes Central railway station** served the town of Widnes, England from 1879 to 1964.

## History

The main line of the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC), between Manchester Central and Liverpool Brunswick, opened in 1873. This passed to the north of the growing town of Widnes, so in 1873 the Widnes Railway was projected to link that town to the CLC, at a triangular junction to the west of Sankey.

In 1874 the uncompleted line was sold to the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR); and in 1875 it became the joint property of the MS&LR and the Midland Railway \- two of the partners in the CLC. The third partner, the Great Northern Railway declined to take part in the project, and so it was not part of the CLC but separately administered by the Sheffield and Midland Railway Companies' Committee. This line opened for goods traffic in 1877. The Widnes line was soon extended westwards to rejoin the CLC near Hough Green, forming what became known as the Widnes Loop. A passenger station on the extension, known as *Widnes Central*, was opened on 1 August 1879.

The core service at Widnes Central was provided by the trains of the CLC running between Warrington Central and Liverpool Central. In 1922 16 "Down" (towards Liverpool) trains called on Mondays to Saturdays. Nine ran from Warrington Central, two from Manchester Central, one from Tanhouse Lane and two started at Widnes Central itself, all headed for Liverpool Central. One ran from Tanhouse Lane to Garston but by far the most exotic was the 12:15 from London Marylebone to Liverpool Central which called at Widnes at 19:04. "Up" services were similar. Two trains each way called on Sundays.

The station was closed by British Railways on 5 October 1964. as a result of the Beeching Axe. Services had by then declined significantly from their peak levels in pre-grouping days (15 per day each way in 1922) to just five westbound and six eastbound departures on weekdays & Saturdays only. The entire loop line was closed as a through route soon afterwards, though the freight yard at Tanhouse Lane remained in use for cement traffic until 2000 - access was latterly provided by a connection from the ex-LNWR Widnes Deviation Line. The station and approach lines were demolished after closure and no trace remains.

## Reception

*CNET* said "Other makers of educational software should take a lesson from Zurk's Rainforest Lab's book, using facts about an interesting topic to stimulate creative writing and critical thinking. On the other hand, the richness of the computer as a learning medium can certainly be put to better use than it is in this program"

The game was given an Excellence Award by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

# Oleg Lebedev (politician, born 1964)

**Oleg Vladimirovich Lebedev** (Russian: Олег Владимирович Лебедев; born on 21 March 1964), is a Kazakh-born Russian politician who had been a member of parliament of the State Duma of the 5th and 6th convocations.

## Biography

Oleg Lebedev was born on 21 March 1964 in Rudny, Kazakhstan, and raised in Partenit, Crimea. In 1981, he received his secondary education at the Frunze village school of Alushta, after which he entered the Kharkiv Higher Military Aviation School of Radio Electronics named after the Lenin Komsomol of Ukraine, which he graduated in 1985. In 1986 he took part in the Soviet–Afghan War. There, while moving on the route from Kabul to Ghazni, the convoy, which was accompanied by Lebedev, came under fire. Two vehicles were hit. Having destroyed the machine-gun crew, it was possible to withdraw the convoy from the shelling. For these actions, Lebedev was subsequently awarded a combat award of the Order of the Red Star.

In 1996, he founded *The Generation* charitable foundation, whose activities were aimed at the development of education, sports and health care. The Foundation collaborated with the Moscow Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery named after V.I. Bakulev, and raised funds for complex heart surgeries for children. In addition, the foundation has established a literary prize for young authors - "Debut". He was the general director of the fund until 2007, until he went into politics, after which he headed the board of trustees for a long time.

In 2003, he graduated from the Russia Academy of Civil Service. Lebedev was elected to the State Duma in 2007 and 2011. He was the first deputy of the Duma Committee on CIS affairs, Eurasian integration and relations with compatriots. As a member of the State Duma, he has authored 73 bills, some of which became federal laws, including changes concerning the regulation of the wine industry.

In 2012, he graduated from the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade. He has now returned to Crimea and lives in his father's house. He is a leading researcher at the Institute of Economics and Management at the Crimean Federal University.

title: Maylard incision

abstract: Maylard incision is a surgical incision in which a transverse cut is made on rectus abdominis muscle to allow wider access to the pelvic cavity. It is also called Mackenrodt incision. For gynaecological surgery, the skin incision is made 5–8 cm above the pubic symphysis. The site of skin incision is above and parallel to traditional Pfannenstiel incision. The rectus fascia and muscle are cut transversely and the incision is extended as far laterally as needed. The anterior rectus sheath is not separated from the muscle to facilitate easy closure at the end of the surgical procedure. The inferior epigastric vessels which span across more than half of the rectus muscle's width are identified and ligated. In patients with peripheral arterial disease, ligation of inferior epigastric vessels may lead to distal ischemia. Finally, the peritoneum is cut laterally. After the surgery, peritoneum is closed with an absorbable suture. The ties placed on the inferior epigastric vessels are inspected to ensure hemostasis. The rectus fascia is closed with monofilament absorbable suture. The rectus muscle stumps do not require suturing. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are closed with subcuticular suture. The complications associated with Maylard incision are delayed bleeding from cut edges of rectus muscles and from deep epigastric vessels. In some patients, the incision may not offer sufficient exposure of upper abdomen. Maylard incision is likely to cause more pain than Pfannenstiel incision during the first post-operative week. However, Maylard incision has reduced rate of incisional hernia and more cosmetic appeal.

# Tenterfield Post Office

The **Tenterfield Post Office** is a heritage-listed post office located at 225 Rouse Street, Tenterfield, Tenterfield Shire, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by NSW Colonial Architect's Office under James Barnet and built from 1881 to by T. & J. McGuaran, later T. A. Lewis. It is also known as the **Tenterfield Post Office and Quarters**. The property is owned by Australia Post. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 17 December 1999.

## History

The first official postal in Tenterfield was established on 1 January 1849, and has been operated by numerous people in a variety of premises since that time. The significance of Tenterfield in the post and telegraph system was limited, however, until 1861 when it was established as the last repeating station between Sydney and Brisbane. In 1876 tenders were called for construction of a new building adjacent to the then Post and Telegraph Office. However, this appears to have been abandoned and the present site purchased instead, with fresh tenders called in 1878. The building was not opened until 1881 and the clock was completed in 1891–92. Extensive repairs were carried out in 1894–1895.

## Description

A two-storey stuccoed Victorian Italianate post office with single-storey parapeted colonnade and three-storey clock tower with Victorian Second Empire mansard roof. The colonnade has arched openings with drip moulds and rendered keystones, and the parapet has a deep entablature with detail moulding. A front extension continues the theme of the colonnade, but in a more austere manner. The upper floor windows are segmentally arched, with a deep string course, and there are paired brackets to the eaves of the hipped corrugated iron roof. The clock tower has Tuscan corner pilasters to the third level and features clock faces to all sides. The steep mansard roof has a widow's walk with cast iron balustrade, and large ocular vents to each face. The Quarters are entered from the side street through a skillion-roofed timber verandah with paired posts.

### Condition

As at 1 December 1999 the physical condition was good.

### Modifications and dates

Extensive repairs were carried out in 1894–1895. The date of the addition to the Rouse Street facade is not known.

## Heritage listing

As at 10 December 1999, the Tenterfield Post Office and Quarters was important at the State level as a substantial Italianate public building with corner tower, representative of the work of the Colonial Architect's Office under the direction of James Barnet.

# Manikandan

**Manikandan** (born 1983) is an Indian actor who appears in Tamil language films. He has acted in films including *Boys* (2003) and *Kicha Vayasu 16* (2005). In 2024, he had a career resurgence with *Maharaja* (2024).

## Career

Manikandan, a visual communications graduate who had featured in Kala's dance troupe doing stage shows, was selected by Shankar to feature in his coming-of-age film *Boys* after impressing in auditions. He shot for the film throughout 2002 alongside fellow debutants Siddharth, Genelia D'Souza, Bharath, Nakul and Thaman. The story centerd on six youngsters, conveying a message about the importance of good education and career over distractions, such as romance and sex, and marked a move away from Shankar's usual brand of vigilante films, gaining much publicity prior to release. The film opened to mixed reviews but became successful at the box office, with reviewers noting the ensemble cast as "excellent". In the following years, while the other five debut actors have been successful, Manikandan has struggled to receive acclaim and feature in high-profile films.

Notably, director Shankar revealed that Manikandan was edged by Bharath to star in Balaji Sakthivel's *Kaadhal* (2004), which had won Bharath significant acclaim. Manikandan subsequently received offers to feature as the lead actor in *Kadhal FM* (2005) and then alongside Simran in *Kicha Vayasu 16*, but both films were low key releases and fared poorly at the box office. He missed opportunities to act in *Thenmerku Paruvakaatru* (2010) and *Soodhu Kavvum* (2013), which catapulted Vijay Sethupathi to stardom. He has since starred in several low-budget films, including *Gurusamy* and *Kaadhal 2014*.

Manikandan made his acting comeback in 2023 with Adhik Ravichandran's directorial films *Bagheera* and *Mark Antony*. In 2024, he received high praise from film critics for his portrayal of Dhana, one of the villains, in the revenge film *Maharaja*.
