# Mutsu Kokubun-ji

**Mutsu Kokubun-ji** (陸奥国分寺) is a Buddhist temple in Wakabayashi-ku, Sendai, Japan, belonging to the Shingon-shū Chizan-ha sect, and is the provincial temple ("kokubunji") of former Mutsu Province. The grounds of the temple are a National Historic Site. and one of its structures, the early Edo period Yakushi-dō (薬師堂) is an Important Cultural Property.

## Ancient Mutsu Kokubun-ji

The *Shoku Nihongi* records that in 741, as the country recovered from a major smallpox epidemic, Emperor Shōmu ordered that a monastery and nunnery be established in every province, the kokubunji (国分寺).

In the late Nara period, after the establishment of a centralized government under the *Ritsuryō* system, the imperial court sent a number of military expeditions to what is now the Tōhoku region of northern Japan to bring the local Emishi tribes under its control. After the establishment of Taga Castle, Yamato forces gradually pushed into the hinterland of what is now Miyagi Prefecture, establishing several fortified settlements along with several large-scale Buddhist temples. The Mutsu Kokubun-ji was located 9.5 kilometers from Taga Castle. The original design of the temple was a walled square area, 240 meters on a side, containing a large South Gate, Middle Gate, Kondō, Lecture Hall, Cloisters, Rectory and a seven-story Pagoda, Kyōzō, Shōrō, Kuri, and dormitory. Excavations have revealed that this was one of the largest of the provincial temples.

The temple was re-built in the Heian period after the 869 Sanriku earthquake; however, the pagoda was against destroyed in 934 AD, by lightning. Per the *Engishiki* records of 927 AD, the temple was assigned revenues of 40,000 *koku* of rice for its upkeep. The temple was again destroyed in 1189, during the campaign of Minamoto no Yoritomo against the Northern Fujiwara. Its subsequent history in the Kamakura period and Muromachi period is somewhat uncertain, although a smaller temple continued to exist on the site. At some point during this period, it converted to the Shingon sect.

Following the establishment of Sendai Domain under the Tokugawa shogunate, Masamune Date rebuilt the complex from 1605 on a large scale, but not upon the original foundations. At one point, it was surrounded by 25 subsidiary chapels. However, following the Meiji restoration, most of the temple was destroyed by the government's anti-Buddhism movement, leaving only one chapel at the present-day Yakushi-do,

The grounds of the temple were extensively excavated from 1955 to 1959. The excavations revealed that the temple was built from the 740s to 750s, and was located just south of the ruins of a settlement now called the Minami Koizumi ruins. The buildings were all built on foundation stones with tiled roofs and cobblestone floors, with buildings which supported the daily life of the monks having stilt pillars and raised floors. The temple was surrounded by moats and wooden palisades in the manner of a fortress, and was most probably not a place for ordinary people to enter and worship. However, immediately outside the temple enclosure were numerous pit dwellings, presumably for ordinary people who had some connection with the temple. Within the temple enclosure, fragments of melted copper decorations confirmed the records of the destruction of the temple's pagoda in 934 by lightning. It was also found that the Edo Period Niō-mon gate was built on the foundation of the Nara-period South Gate, and that the Yakushi-dō was built on the foundations of the Nara-period Lecture Hall, indicating that although the temple had fallen almost into complete ruin by the early Edo Period, its location and layout were still known at that time.

In the modern period, the ruins were neglected for many decades, with roof tiles being unearthed and taken away by amateur archaeologists and collectors. the site received protection as a National Historic Site in 1922. In 1932, a local historian surveyed the exposed foundation stones and estimated that they were in the correct positions for a Nara period temple. The area was designed a scenic area by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 1934. From 1955 to 1959, the site was excavated by Tōhoku University, and the foundations of all of the main buildings, and numerous previously unknown buildings were uncovered.

## Mutsu Kokubun-ji Yakushi-dō

Date Masamune, who built Sendai Castle in 1601, continued various civil works in his territory, of which reconstruction of the Mutsu Kokubun-ji was part of his policy of reconstructing famous temples in his territory, such as the reconstruction of Chuson-ji and Zuigan-ji The reconstruction work took three years from 1605 to 1607, and the new main hall of the reconstructed temple became the Yakushi-dō, which was completed in 1607. In 1903 this structure was designated an Important Cultural Property.

The building houses the temple's *honzon*, a bronze statue of Yakushi Nyōrai. The statue is a *hibutsu* image, and is only display only once a year. It is flanked by wooden Nikkō Bosatsu and Gakkō Bosatsu. An inscription within the Gakko Bosatsu dates it to 1645; however, temple legend states that the statue of Yakushi Nyōrai is a surviving image from the original Nara-period temple.

The building itself is x 5 x 5 bay hall, with an *irimoya-zukuri* roof. The building is in the architecture of the Momoyama era, but the exterior is uncolored wood, which is very plain compared to other temples and shrines built by Date Masamune around this time. The interior is divided into two, with the altar having columns painted with gold leaf, sculptured, decorated, and painted in vivid colors in great contrast to the outside of the building.

# Čika

**Čika** (Zadar, first half of 11th century – Zadar, after 1095; Latin: *Chicca*) was a Croatian benedictine nun, founder of the benedictine monastery of St. Mary Church in Zadar. She is also known for the illuminated prayer book known as Čika's book of hours, the oldest prayer book for personal use in Europe.

## Life

She was the member of the noble patrician family Madi. After the death of her husband in 1066, she founded the monastery of St. Mary in Zadar with the help of her family. King Petar Krešimir IV referred to her as his sister when he placed the monastery under the royal protection, though such genealogy is debated.

She is the mother of Vekenega.

# Legislative Council of Trinidad and Tobago

The **Legislative Council of Trinidad and Tobago** served as an advisory commission to the governor in British-ruled Trinidad and Tobago, between 1831 and independence in 1962. The Legislative Council consisted of a mixture of appointed and elected members. After the introduction of elected representation in 1925 the council consisted of 13 "unofficial" members (those who were not civil servants serving *ex officio* in the council), seven elected and six appointed. Over time the balance between elected members and appointed members changed. In 1956, the council consisted of 24 elected and 7 appointed unofficial members.

From 1950, the council served as a unicameral legislature.

## Background

Between 1797 and 1925, Trinidad was directly ruled by Britain as a crown colony with no elected representation. This was unlike the situation in the rest of the British West Indies where an elected Assembly was the norm. While there was a Council of Advice, which was later replaced by a Council of Government and finally by an Executive and Legislative Council, these were purely advisory bodies and had no elected representation. Following an investigative visit to the Caribbean by Major E. F. L. Wood (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies) between December 13, 1921 and February 14, 1922, a recommendation was made to include elected members.

The Treaty of Capitulation of 18 February 1797 surrendered control of Spanish-administered Trinidad to the British. The treaty protected the property rights of the population, and guaranteed that the "free coloured people...shall be protected in their liberty, persons and property, like other inhabitants".

In 1801 the first British governor, Sir Thomas Picton, established a Council of Advice which was renamed His Majesty's Council in 1803. In 1831, this purely advisor council was replaced with the Council of Government, the first legislative council.

## Elections

The first elections to the Legislative Council were held in 1925. Voting rights were based on property or income qualifications. The colony was divided into seven constituencies:

# The Day Room

***The Day Room*** is a play written by Don DeLillo and first produced at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in April, 1986. It is DeLillo's first play. Since its premiere, the play has been produced in New York in 1987, and in Chicago in 1989 and 1993, among others. The first international production was in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1995. A portion of the play was published in *Harper's* in September, 1986 as "A Visit from Dr. Bazelon".

## Plot

The play concerns characters in a psychiatric hospital in which the distinctions between patients and staff gradually blur. The play is written in an absurdist style reminiscent of Beckett and Ionesco, and eschews linear plot in favor of a non-traditional exploration of such themes as empathy, personal identity, fear of death, and the seeming impossibility of meaningful communication. In line with the transformation of identities, the eponymous room of the first act becomes a vaguely defined motel room in the second. As a single memorable example of the absurdist tone of the piece, one of the asylum patients of the first act appears in the second act as Figure in Straitjacket, performing as a television set for the bulk of the remaining action.

DeLillo stated in a *New York Times* interview about the play that

> I began to sense a connection, almost a metaphysical connection, between the craft of acting and the fear we all have of dying. It seemed to me that actors are a kind of model for the ways in which we hide from the knowledge we inevitably possess of our final extinction. There's a sense in which actors teach us how to hide.

## Criticism

*The Day Room* was praised by critics for its intellectualism and black comedy, as well as for being a new direction for DeLillo. The noted critic Frank Rich, however, criticized it for being "*One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest* as it might be rewritten by a pretentious undergraduate who has just completed the midterm, if not all the required reading, for a survey course in the works of Pirandello, Beckett and Stoppard." Upon its Chicago premiere, critic Richard Christianson gave the play similarly mixed reviews, writing that, while he enjoyed it, the play is "a little too 'literary,' a mite too obviously crafted and pretentious."

title: My Name Is Fame

abstract: My Name Is Fame is a 2006 Hong Kong comedy-drama film starring Lau Ching-wan as a has-been actor and newcomer Huo Siyan as an aspiring actress and his apprentice. The movie is considered by many as a humorous reflection of Lau's actual career, which is highly regarded but almost unrewarded. While it is often compared to the three A Star Is Born films, My Name Is Fame departs from many of Star's clichés, notably dispensing with the romance of the old man-young girl relationship and the destructive spiral of the old man's career. While the girl does go onto great success, the man does redeem himself of bad habits and returns to being a well-renowned actor. Due to their busy film schedules, they never have time to meet. But at the end, she presents a best supporting actor award for which he has been nominated. Many famous actors and filmmakers make cameo appearances, notably Tony Leung Ka-fai, who plays himself and tells Lau's character to return to acting, saying that while good roles are difficult to find, perseverance will be rewarded.

The movie is considered by many as a humorous reflection of Lau's actual career, which is highly regarded but almost unrewarded (Lau has never won a Hong Kong Film Award before this film which won him the Best Actor award).

While it is often compared to the three *A Star Is Born* films, *My Name Is Fame* departs from many of *Star'*s clichés, notably dispensing with the romance of the old man-young girl relationship and the destructive spiral of the old man's career. While the girl does go onto great success, the man does redeem himself of bad habits (getting sober, offering constructive instead of abrasive criticism) and returns to being a well-renowned actor. Due to their busy film schedules, they never have time to meet. But at the end, she presents a best supporting actor award for which he has been nominated.

title: M-87 (Michigan highway)

abstract: M-87 is the designation of a former state trunkline highway in the Lower Peninsula of the US state of Michigan, which prior to 1960 ran east–west between the towns of Fenton and Holly. The highway served as a connector between US Highway 23 (US 23) and the former routing of US 10, which ran along what is now the Interstate 75 (I-75) corridor. The highway connected the downtown areas of each community as well as running through then-rural areas of Genesee and Oakland counties. The trunkline was decommissioned in late 1960, removing it from the system.

# M-87 (Michigan highway)

**M-87** is the designation of a former state trunkline highway in the Lower Peninsula of the US state of Michigan, which prior to 1960 ran east–west between the towns of Fenton and Holly. The highway served as a connector between US Highway 23 (US 23) and the former routing of US 10, which ran along what is now the Interstate 75 (I-75) corridor. The highway connected the downtown areas of each community as well as running through then-rural areas of Genesee and Oakland counties. The trunkline was decommissioned in late 1960, removing it from the system.

## Route description

Immediately before decommissioning, M-87 began at a junction with Business US 23 (Bus. US 23, Leroy Street) east of the Shiawassee River in the town of Fenton. From there the road traveled to the east along Main Street, where it crossed a branch rail line of the present-day CSX Transportation and headed east out of town in Genesee County. After about one mile (1.6 km), the highway crossed into Oakland County and followed Grange Hall Road south of Seven Lakes State Park. The road then turned south in the town of Holly along Saginaw Street. Near Bevins Lake, the street curved to the east around the end of the lake. The highway turned east on Maple Street and ran south of Simonson Lake as it continued eastward out of Holly. The road crossed a branch line of the present day Canadian National Railway in Springfield Township. The trunkline continued to the east and southeast through rural areas before terminating at US 10 (Dixie Highway).

## History

M-87 was assumed into the state trunkline system by July 1, 1919, when the system was first signed. At the time, the highway connected M-65 in Fenton with M-10 east of Holly. Later when the United States Numbered Highway System was created on November 11, 1926, those two highways were renumbered US 23 and US 10 respectively. The highway was fully paved in 1937. In 1958, Fenton was bypassed by the Fenton–Clio Expressway to the west of downtown and the former route through downtown was redesignated Bus. US 23. M-87 was removed from the state trunkline system and turned back to local control in late 1960.

The X-type asteroid has a rotation period of hours 23.5 and measures approximately 49 kilometers (30 miles) in diameter. It was named for the ancient Kingdom of Colchis.

## Orbit and classification

*Colchis* is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements. It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.4–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 4 months (1,589 days; semi-major axis 2.67 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 5 with respect to the ecliptic. The asteroid was first observed as A911 MJ at Johannesburg Observatory in June 1911. The body's observation arc begins at Lowell Observatory in September 1929, or four days prior its official discovery observation at Simeiz.

## Naming

This minor planet was named after the ancient Kingdom of Colchis, bordering on Black Sea south of the Caucasus mountains, in what is now part of Georgia. The naming was mentioned in *The Names of the Minor Planets* by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 106).

## Physical characteristics

In the SMASS classification, *Colchis* is a Xk-subtype that transitions between the X- and K-type asteroids. Conversely, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer characterizes it as a primitive P-type asteroid.

### Rotation period

In March 2001, a rotational lightcurve of *Colchis* was obtained from photometric observations by Robert Stephens. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 23.47 hours with a brightness variation of 0.45 magnitude (U=2). In September 2016, French amateur astronomer Patrick Sogorb measured an identical period and an amplitude of 0.46 magnitude (U=2). A similar period of 23.41 hours with an amplitude of 0.33 magnitude was obtained by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in January 2014.

### Poles

In 2016, two modeled lightcurves using photometric data from the Lowell Photometric Database (LPD) and other sources, gave a concurring period of 23.4827 and 23.4830 hours, respectively. Each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axis of (139.0°, −58.0°) and (330.0°, −81.0°), as well as (7.0°, −54.0°) and (168.0°, −56.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β), respectively.

### Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's WISE telescope, *Colchis* measures between 45.341 and 50.64 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.05 and 0.068.

The *Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link* derives an albedo of 0.0437 and a diameter of 50.50 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.5.

# The Day That Never Comes

"**The Day That Never Comes**" is a song by heavy metal band Metallica, and the lead single from their ninth studio album, *Death Magnetic*. The song was released to the radio and for digital download on August 21, 2008.

The working title of the song was "Casper", as shown in the *Mission: Metallica* videos and in *Demo Magnetic*.

## Composition

Like previous ballads and downbeat songs by Metallica, it is the fourth track of the album. *Rock Sound* has also compared the song to the likes of Thin Lizzy. The intro starts out with clean guitars that carry into the verses, while the choruses are backed with heavily distorted guitars. The bridge speeds up gradually and eventually leads into fast-paced harmony between the guitars and a long guitar solo by Hammett, a build-up comparable to that of "One", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" and "Fade to Black". The ending of the song, like the previously mentioned ballads, is purely instrumental, featuring numerous solos and chord progressions.

## Music video

A music video for the song was filmed in rural Los Angeles County, California on July 31, 2008, directed by Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg. It was premiered on the band's official page at midnight on September 1, 2008.

In the video, a Humvee carrying three U.S. Marines is struck by an improvised explosive device; though they survive, one Marine is wounded. Another Marine provides first aid, but the wounded Marine loses consciousness and is medevaced by a helicopter, leaving his fate unclear. Later, the Marine leads a squad on a patrol when they come across a man with a jumper cable and a woman in a chador next to a broken-down Yugo. Believing it is an ambush, the squad holds them at gunpoint and orders the woman out of the Yugo, but tensions rise when she approaches the Marine with her hands up. Though the squad fears she may be a suicide bomber, the Marine realizes they mean no harm and orders the squad to help push start the Yugo. As the man and woman leave in the repaired Yugo, the Marine stops to look at the sky. Scenes of the band performing in the desert are interspersed within the video.

## Concepts

On August 4, 2008, in an MTV interview, the song lyrics were said to tackle the subject of forgiveness and resentment. The band's drummer Lars Ulrich stated that the lyrics were inspired by a father-son relationship. The music video uses a different theme compared to the lyrics however, instead depicting a military conflict in the Middle East involving the United States (similar to the then-ongoing Iraq War and War in Afghanistan); despite this setting however, no political statement was intended from Metallica. Frontman James Hetfield spoke on the lyrics of the song and the difference between the song's lyrics, music video, and intended vision:

> "That's the beauty, I think, of writing vague but powerful lyrics – that someone like a movie director can interpret it in his own way and obviously, someone creative is able to take the metaphors and apply them to whatever he needs in his own life," the frontman explained. "The main \[theme of the video\] is the human element of forgiveness and someone doing you wrong, you feeling resentment and you being able to see through that in the next situation that might be similar and not take your rage or resentment out on the next person and basically keep spreading the disease of that through life...The one thing that I wasn't keen on here was Metallica plugging into a modern war or a current event \[that\] might be construed as some sort of political statement on our part... There are so many celebrities that soapbox their opinions, and people believe it's more valid because they're popular. For us, people are people – you should all have your own opinion. We are hopefully putting the human element in what is an unfortunate part of life. There are people over there dealing with situations like this, and we're showing the human part of being there."

Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and Ulrich also stated that the concept of the video deals with humanity and the relationships between human beings and how one's basic sense of humanity can override any sort of politicized situation.

# M-84D

The Croatian **M-84D** also known as **M-84A5 (D)** is an upgraded variant of existing M-84 tanks, originally developed in Yugoslavia, with improvements to engine, armor, armament and electronics.

## Description

The M-84D is equipped with a new 1,200 hp (895 kW) engine and new RRAK ERA armour. It can carry either a Rafael Samson or a Kongsberg Protector (RWS) Remote Controlled Weapon Station, and has a new Omega ballistic computer (Slovenian Fotona-made digital ballistic computer). It has an electric cupola, giving it ability to fire at multiple targets in fast sequence, and a new SDZ defence suite protects the crew from biological, chemical and nuclear strikes.

The M-84D night vision capability is provided by advanced thermal imaging sensors and cameras providing the tank with night fighting capability as well as ability to see through fog, in shade, and during a storm, i.e. greatly reduced visibility. It is equipped with the latest Racal communication suite, which now comes as standard on all new M84D and M84A4 tanks. The M-84A4 and M-84D have an operational range of 700 km and a maximum speed of 65 km/h. Improvements and new auto loader have increased efficiency by 15%, meaning 9 shells per minute instead of 8 shells per minute.

The M-84D is a second version of the upgraded tanks. It has also chains on the back of the tank to protect the engine and has SLAT armour around the ammunition to prevent an ATG or a shell from hitting it. M-84D received few additional upgrades, turret basket was added to provide extra space for extra ammunition and to provide increased armour protection. Turret basket has additional slat armour, which adds additional armour to the exterior of the tank. M84D and M84A4 are to receive 12.7mm Kongsberg Protector Remote Weapon Stations which are to be integrated on to all M84D and M84A4 tanks. M-84D will also feature LIRD-4B - Laser irradiation detector and warner and LAHAT anti tank missiles.

## Difference between the M-95 Degman and M-84D

The M-84D is a direct successor of the M-84A4, while the M-95 Degman is a revision of a project codenamed M-90 Vihor (which had two prototypes built). M-90 Vihor was a Yugoslav prototype, made by cooperation of 30 companies from all Yugoslav republics. At the emergence of civil war and break-up of Yugoslavia, Croatian authorities seized two prototypes, which have been renamed to M-95 Degman, after the war ended. While the first prototype was fully assembled (though missing some electronics and loading system), the second prototype had only its body assembled. After the war, the second prototype was assembled with derived turret, new tracks produced by Diehl (who also produce tracks for the German Leopard 2) and some electronic upgrades.

M-95 Degman (M-90 Vihor) prototypes will most probably remain as prototypes since its turret caster Slovenske Železarne destroyed molds for its turret. Also most of documentation is held by the Serbian Military Institute of Technology, and neither Croatia nor Serbia is financially capable of funding completion of this project.

## Potential clients

* Croatia: Croatian Army 16 M-84A4 tanks were to be upgraded to the M-84A5 (D) standard by the end of 2016, but there are no plans for future acquisition. 0 M84A4 were upgraded to M84D standard as of 2024.
* Kuwait: The Kuwaiti Army planned modernization of 149 Kuwaiti M84AB tanks to M-84D standard, but as of April 2011 this deal has been stalled since 2007. Order was canceled. M84 To be replaced By T90MS.

# Sophia Schliemann

**Sophia Schliemann**, born **Sophia Engastromenou** (Σοφία Εγκαστρωμένου) (12 January 1852 – 27 October 1932) was the Greek second wife of the businessman and amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. She is known for posing for a photo while draped in gold jewelry from the Treasure of Priam.

## Life

Sofia Engastromenou was born in Athens to a wealthy mercantile family. Her father was a "well-known Greek banker who at one time was the largest individual shareholder of the Pennsylvania Railroad".

Her uncle, Bishop Theokletos Vimpos, was hired by Heinrich Schliemann to tutor him in Greek and later tasked with finding a "black-haired Greek woman in the Homeric spirit" to become his wife. Presented with photos of three women, Schliemann selected the seventeen-year-old Sofia. They were married on 24 September 1869, and would go on to have two children: Andromache (1871–1962) and Agamemnon (1878–1954).

Sophia was only briefly present during the 1873 excavations of Hisarlik, during which she was assaulted by a foreman. She departed the site after a month due to the unexpected death of her father. Schliemann later falsified the records to exaggerate Sophia's role in the excavations, and the story that the Treasure of Priam had been smuggled away from the site in Sophia's shawl.

After her husband's death in 1890 Sophia continued to give lectures on his work and hosted gatherings in her Athenian residence, the Iliou Melathron. She edited Schliemann's autobiography and published it in 1892.

Sophia spent the rest of her life as a member of Athenian high society and sponsor of charitable endeavors. In 1902, after witnessing the sufferings of Greek soldiers of the recent war with Turkey, she and a group of society ladies sponsored the construction of a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients in Goudi. She served on its board of directors from 1919 until her death in 1932.

The institution has since become the Sotiria Thoracic Disease Hospital, the largest pulmonary center in Greece.

Sophia died on 27 October 1932 at the age of 80, 13 days after suffering a heart attack. She was buried with state honors in the family tomb at the First Cemetery of Athens next to her husband, whom she outlived by 42 years.

## In literature and film

Sophia was a central character in Irving Stone's 1975 historical novel *The Greek Treasure*. In the 2007 German television film *The Hunt for Troy*, Sophia Engastromenou was portrayed by the French actress Mélanie Doutey. She inspired the 2013 novel *Sophia: A Woman's Search for Troy* by Nancy Joaquim.

**Nigel Hinton** (born 1941 in London) is an English novelist, primarily of fiction for teenagers.

## Career

Hinton worked in advertising for two years, then taught English for nine years at the Hugh Christie School in Tonbridge, Kent. He then worked as a professional actor and did some teaching part-time before deciding to concentrate on writing. He has published at least twenty three novels from *Collision Course* (1976) to *The Norris Girls* (2017), including the *Buddy* trilogy for teenagers and the *Beaver Towers* stories for younger children. His novel *The Finders* won the Federation of Children's Book Groups Award, and *Collision Course* won the Dutch Silver Pen Award. His novel *Out of the Darkness* won the Lancashire Book Award and the Stockport Book Award. His novel *Time Bomb*, set in 1949 in the area in which he grew up, won the 2006 Rotherham Book Award. In 2014 his short novel *Partners In Crime* won the Coventry Inspiration Book Award.

He has adapted some of his novels for dramatic production, notably *Buddy* which was made into a BBC television series, and *Buddy's Song* which was made into a feature film. Both features starred Roger Daltrey as Buddy's father Terry. He has also written a number of original scripts for television and theatre.

Hinton's work is used much by schools, and *Buddy* has been one of the best selling for teenagers. Teachers particularly appreciate his novels because they appeal to a wide range of pupil ability including those who do not normally like reading. However, *The Norris Girls*, written for girls, is different from the usual boy appeal of his novels; it is based partly on Little Women and all the protagonists are female although the writing style is otherwise the same.

Regarding music, Hinton co-wrote the song "Take Me Home" for Roger Daltrey's 1987 album *Can't Wait to See the Movie*. He also contributed to the soundtrack of *Buddy's Song* by co-writing nine songs, all performed by Chesney Hawkes who played Buddy in the film. He co-wrote the song "Always Heading Home" for Roger Daltrey's 2018 album *As Long As I Have You*. He has also written a number of songs for the UK Americana band The Orange Circus Band including the song "I Miss You".

title: Lentävänniemi

abstract: Lentävänniemi is a district in the western part of Tampere on the shores of Lake Näsijärvi in Pirkanmaa, Finland. It belongs to the northwestern part of the city and borders the Niemi and Niemenranta borders on the southwest. There are jogging paths along the lake and its shores surrounding the apartment-based Lentävänniemi. In 2014, the population of Lentävänniemi was 4,309. Lentävänniemi originally belonged to the municipality of Ylöjärvi, from where it was transferred to the city of Tampere in the early 1950s. The first town plan for Lentävänniemi was completed in 1966, and the entire area was zoned in 1974. Most of the street names in Lentävänniemi are group names related to navigating the waters according to the location of the place. Jänissaarenkatu, Jänislahdenkatu, Jänislammenkatu and Suomensaarenkatu are based on natural names. The former island of Suomensaari in Lake Näsijärvi, which grew close to the mainland as a peninsula, had a croft on Suomensaari in the early 19th century. Bus lines 3 and 14 run from Lentävänniemi to the city center of Tampere, about nine kilometers away. In addition, line 36 runs to Tampere University Hospital. Lentävänniemi has a school for grades 1-6, a kindergarten, a pizzeria, a barbecue kiosk, a sports field, a small shopping center with a pub, hairdresser, kebab restaurant, K-Market grocery store, and youth center, as well as two harbors, one of which is Jänissaari, which serves as the Näsijärvi Sailing Club. The Lentävänniemi library, which operated in the same building as the Lentävänniemi school, was merged with the Lamminpää library in the Lielahtikeskus, which was completed in 2014, into the Lielahti library. In the second phase of Tampere tram traffic, a light rail connection to Lentävänniemi would be established from the city center.
