title: Northern Correctional Institution

abstract: Northern Correctional Institution (NCI) was a high-security state prison in Somers, in the northern part of the U.S. state of Connecticut. Until its closure, the prison housed the state's male convicts serving long sentences for violent crimes; previously, it had also housed the death row for inmates before the abolition of the death penalty in Connecticut. It was the designated restrictive housing facility for the Connecticut Department of Correction, managing those inmates who had demonstrated a serious inability to adjust to confinement, particularly those that posed a threat to the safety and security of the community, staff, and other inmates. The institution Group Safety Threat Member program was relocated from the Garner Correctional Institution in order to centralize restrictive housing functions. In response to this, and with a commensurate increase in the number of young offenders, the facility more than doubled the size of its educational staff in order to serve those inmates who fell under federal mandates and require special education. The prison's inmate population reached a peak of 510 in January 2003. With the state's incarcerated population at a 32-year low, Northern was found by the state to be cost-ineffective and unnecessary, and was closed in June 2021. Remaining inmates were transferred to other prisons within the state.

# Northern Correctional Institution

**Northern Correctional Institution** (**NCI**) was a high-security state prison in Somers, in the northern part of the U.S. state of Connecticut. Until its closure, the prison housed the state's male convicts serving long sentences for violent crimes; previously, it had also housed the death row for inmates before the abolition of the death penalty in Connecticut.

It was the designated restrictive housing facility for the Connecticut Department of Correction, managing those inmates who had demonstrated a serious inability to adjust to confinement, particularly those that posed a threat to the safety and security of the community, staff, and other inmates.

The institution Group Safety Threat Member program was relocated from the Garner Correctional Institution in order to centralize restrictive housing functions. In response to this, and with a commensurate increase in the number of young offenders, the facility more than doubled the size of its educational staff in order to serve those inmates who fell under federal mandates and require special education.

The prison's inmate population reached a peak of 510 in January 2003. With the state's incarcerated population at a 32-year low, Northern was found by the state to be cost-ineffective and unnecessary, and was closed in June 2021. Remaining inmates were transferred to other prisons within the state.

## History

The Northern C.I. was completed in January 1995 and received its first inmates in March 1995. Also in 1995, Connecticut's death row inmates were moved to the Northern C.I. from the Osborn Correctional Institution.

In February 1997, the Chronic Disciplinary Unit arrived at Northern.

In November 1999, the Security Risk Group Threat population arrived.

In August 2000, Warden Larry J. Myers' face was slashed by inmate John Barletta, leaving him seriously injured. Barletta was serving 60 years for a 1992 drive-by shooting murder in Norwalk and life in prison without parole for the murder of his cellmate in 1999 at Garner Correctional Institution in Newtown, Connecticut.

In November 2000, the Chronic Disciplinary Unit was removed from the facility.

In September 2004, the Chronic Disciplinary Unit was returned to the facility.

As of July 1, 2014, the prison had 258 inmates (178 accused, 80 sentenced). The prison was controlled by 310 personnel from the Connecticut Department of Correction under the supervision of Warden Anne Cournoyer and Deputy Warden William Mulligan.

On June 11, 2021, the Northern C.I. was officially closed, with the remaining population transferred to other facilities over the previous several months.

## Death row and "Old Sparky"

Connecticut legislated lethal injection as its sole method of execution in 1995. The last person executed by lethal injection was Michael Bruce Ross on May 13, 2005. The last person executed by electrocution was Joseph "Mad Dog" Taborsky in May 1960. Connecticut's "Old Sparky" had not been tested since it was moved from Wethersfield to the Somers State Prison (now Osborn Correctional Institution) in Somers in 1962, and prison officials said the prison's electrical system could not handle it. The death penalty was abolished in Connecticut in 2012.

## Notable prisoners

As both of these men were on death row and the death penalty has been abolished, they were considered regular inmates. Due to the severity of their crimes, it was deemed unsafe to house them in the Connecticut DOC. Both were moved to maximum security facilities in Pennsylvania.

title: FloWaveTT

abstract: The FloWave TT ocean energy research facility is designed to test physical scale models of marine renewable energy devices, in a combined wave and current environment. The facility is located at The University of Edinburgh, King's Buildings campus, on Max Born Crescent. It comprises a 25-metre (82 ft) diameter circular tank, with 168 active-absorbing wave makers around the circumference, and 28 pumps arranged beneath the raisable floor. These allow the creation of multi-directional random waves with current in any direction across the 15-metre (49 ft) diameter, 2-metre (6.6 ft) deep test area. The facility is optimised for approximately 1/10th to 1/40th scale model tests, with scale waves approximately 14-metre (46 ft) high and with a current of 7 knots. Construction of the facility started late in 2010, and was completed in autumn 2013. The opening was on 5 June 2014, with the Energy Minister Amber Rudd officially opening the facility on 6 August 2014. FloWave TT is a wholly owned subsidiary of the university, and the £10M construction cost of the facility was primarily funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

title: Marie el-Khoury

abstract: Marie Azeez el-Khoury was a Syrian-born American journalist and jewelry designer.

text:
# Marie el-Khoury

**Marie Azeez el-Khoury** (Arabic: ماري عزيز الخوري) (1883 — September 26, 1957) was a Syrian-born American journalist and jewelry designer.

## Early life

Marie Azeez and her older sister Alice were born in the Mount Lebanon region of greater Syria, and moved to the United States as children in 1891, with their parents Tannous Azeez and Julia Tabet. Her father opened a jewelry business in lower Manhattan. He later moved his business to Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Marie attended Drew Seminary in Carmel, New York, and Washington College for Young Ladies in Eckington, graduating in 1900 when she was just 17 years old.

## Career

As a young woman Marie Azeez wrote for Arabic-language publications in the United States, and intended a career in journalism. But she was widowed in 1904, and her father died in 1905, leaving Marie to support her mother and sister. She took over the remains of Tannous Azeez's jewelry business, which was mostly destroyed in a fire in 1904, and moved it back to Manhattan, this time on Fifth Avenue, with a later move to Park Avenue. She kept the business's name, "The Little Shop of T. Azeez", in her father's memory. She was present for at least two robbery attempts in her shop. Her designs were featured in *Vogue* and *The New Yorker*. *The Christian Science Monitor* described her as "a traveler, a poet, a philosopher, and into every necklace, bracelet, pendant, she puts the complexity and subtlety of her own nature."

She continued writing, including some jewel-themed short stories syndicated in Sunday newspapers across the United States. Marie el-Khoury donated a bound volume of *al-Da'irah* (1900-1901), the "first magazine published in Arabic in the Western Hemisphere", to the Library of Congress in 1945.

title: North Sea Wind Power Hub

abstract: North Sea Wind Power Hub is a proposed energy island complex to be built in the middle of the North Sea as part of a European system for sustainable electricity. One or more “Power Link” artificial islands will be created at the northeast end of the Dogger Bank, a relatively shallow area in the North Sea, just outside the continental shelf of the United Kingdom and near the point where the borders between the territorial waters of Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark come together. Dutch, German, and Danish electrical grid operators are cooperating in this project to help develop a cluster of offshore wind parks with a capacity of several gigawatts, with interconnections to the North Sea countries. Undersea cables will make international trade in electricity possible. According to this plan, the first artificial island will have an area of six square kilometres (2.3 sq mi). Thousands of wind turbines will be placed around the island, with short alternating-current links to the island. On the island itself, power converters will change the alternating current to direct current that will be carried to the mainland via undersea cables. The Hub – one island at first, and later one or two more – is intended to make a substantial contribution to the energy transition and to achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015. The project is to be completed around 2050. In June 2016, nine countries – the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, and Sweden – signed an agreement to cooperate in planning and building offshore wind parks. The goal is to reduce costs as quickly as possible and thus make the wind parks more economically viable. A study commissioned by Dutch electrical grid operator TenneT reported in February 2017 that as much as 110 gigawatts of wind energy generating capacity could ultimately be developed at the Dogger Bank location.

## North Sea Wind Power Hub Consortium

At the North Seas Energy Forum in Brussels on 23 March 2017, TenneT Netherlands, TenneT Germany, and the Danish Energinet.dk signed a trilateral agreement to cooperate in further development of the project. These network managers hope that Norway, the United Kingdom, and Belgium will also join them.

In September 2017, Dutch gas-grid operator Gasunie joined the consortium, suggesting converting wind power to gas and using near offshore gas infrastructure for storage and transport.

In November 2017, the Port of Rotterdam became the fifth member of the consortium.

In February 2019, the consortium published two reports establishing a foundation for their planning: a spatial planning report and a cost evaluation report. This was followed in May 2019 by a report concerning the possibility for extension into the Norwegian sector.

# VF-73

**Fighter Squadron 73** (VF-73), also known as the "Jesters", was a United States Navy fighter squadron established at Naval Air Station Quonset Point, Rhode Island on 27 July 1948, and disestablished on 1 March 1958.

## Operational history

While at NAS Quonset Point, VF-73 was attached to Carrier Air Group Seven and deployed to the Mediterranean with the USS *Philippine Sea* and USS *Leyte*. The cruise lasted from 4 January 1949 – 22 May 1949.

From 4 January 1954 – 4 August 1954, VF-73 again deployed to the Mediterranean while attached to Carrier Air Group Six on board the USS *Midway*.

In 1955, VF-73 was once again attached to Carrier Air Group Seven. On 4 May 1955, the squadron deployed to the Far East with the USS *Hornet*, becoming part of the Navy's Seventh Fleet. During the cruise, the *Hornet* helped cover the evacuation of Vietnamese from the Communist-controlled north to South Vietnam, then ranged from Japan to Formosa, Okinawa, and the Philippines in readiness training with the 7th Fleet. VF-73 returned to the United States with the *Hornet* on 10 December 1955.

On 1 July 1957, VF-73 deployed to the Mediterranean for the last time while attached to Carrier Air Group Four on board the USS *Randolph*. Between August and December 1957, as political turmoil in Syria threatened to further disturb the region, the *Randolph* patrolled the eastern Mediterranean. The squadron returned to the United States on 24 February 1958.

title: Nottawasaga Bay

abstract: Nottawasaga Bay is a sub-bay within Georgian Bay in Southern Ontario, Canada located at the southernmost end of the main bay. The communities located on Nottawasaga Bay are Meaford, The Blue Mountains, Collingwood, Wasaga Beach and Tiny. The western shore of Nottawasaga Bay is determined by the Niagara Escarpment, which reaches Nottawasaga Bay between Collingwood and Thornbury. The southern shore is flat limestone plain, with cedar marshes. The Nottawasaga River flows into Georgian Bay near the southern end of the bay, and onward to the east the shore is predominantly sand dunes and marshes created by the strong predominant northwest winds. This part of Nottawasaga Bay is heavily built up with summer homes. Nearer to Thornbury and the Beaver River Valley there are some vineyards; many apple orchards also dot the area. The river takes its name from the Ojibwe word "Nottawasaga". Nottawa means "Iroquois" and saga means "mouth of the river"; the word "Nottawasaga" was used by Algonquin scouts as a warning if they saw Iroquois raiding parties approaching their villages. Thus, the name of the river, in Ojibwe, is Naadawe-zaagiing, "At the Iroquois River-mouth.

## History

In the early and mid-17th century, Nottawasaga Bay was adjacent to two indigenous First Nations territories: Huronia to the east, which was the territory of the Huron or Wendat people, and the "Petun Country" to the south, which was the land of the Petun, who were their close allies and relatives. In March 1649, during the Beaver Wars, Huron refugees fled across the bay, which was frozen over with ice, to take refuge among the Petun.

The **R356** is a Regional Route in South Africa that connects the R46 near Ceres with Loxton by way of Sutherland and Fraserburg.

## Route

The route's south-western origin is a junction with the R355 near that route's origin at the R46 in the Western Cape. It heads north-east for 110 kilometres, crossing into the Northern Cape, before it reaches a junction with the R354 from the south. The two roads run together for 50 kilometres, through the Verlatekloof and Rooikloof Passes over the Komsberg Range, to reach Sutherland. The R354 leaves Sutherland heading north-west, but the R356 heads north-east to Fraserburg. The route crosses the R353 here at a staggered junction. It continues north-east, meeting the southern terminus of the R308, to end near Loxton at a junction with the R381.

# Québec debout

**Québec debout**, sometimes styled **Québec Debout** (transl. **Stand Up, Quebec** or **Rise Up, Quebec**), formerly the **Groupe parlementaire québécois** (transl.Quebec Parliamentary Group) was a Quebec-based parliamentary group in the House of Commons of Canada during the 42nd Canadian Parliament which consisted of members who resigned from the Bloc Québécois caucus. The group did not have a formal leader, but Rhéal Fortin acted as the group's spokesperson. The group was dissolved on September 17, 2018 with all remaining Québec debout MPs rejoining the Bloc Québécois caucus.

## Formation of the Groupe parlementaire québécois

The Groupe parlementaire québécois (GPQ) was formed on February 28, 2018 by seven Members of Parliament (MPs) who resigned from the caucus of the Bloc Québécois (BQ) due to their opposition to the leadership of Martine Ouellet, as well as political differences with her strategy of emphasizing the party's stance regarding active advocacy for Quebec sovereignty rather than a pragmatic approach that focuses on the practical interests of Quebec.

While the seven MPs left the BQ parliamentary caucus, they initially remained members of the BQ party itself and had expressed the desire to remain so. The BQ party executive, in a meeting one week after the group's formation, ruled that the seven defecting MPs would not be expelled from the party for leaving the caucus, and would be allowed to rejoin the caucus in the future.

## Québec debout, proposed new party

On May 1, 2018, the seven MPs announced that they were severing all ties with the BQ and considering founding a new political party. The GPQ members announced on May 9, 2018 that their new party would be registered under the name "Québec debout" and would no longer include Quebec sovereignty in its platform.

Following Ouellet's decision to resign after losing a leadership review, Terrebonne MP Michel Boudrias and Mirabel MP Simon Marcil announced that they would rejoin the Bloc Québécois caucus. The same day, citing the Bloc's vote to focus exclusively on Quebec sovereignty, Québec debout spokesman Rhéal Fortin announced that he and the party's other four MPs would not rejoin the Bloc Québécois.

The five Groupe parlementaire québécois MPs were formally redesignated as Québec debout MPs in the House of Commons on June 6, 2018. On September 17, 2018, they rejoined the Bloc Québécois caucus.

It was designed to replace the aging RAF-2203 and offer a new modern vehicle to the newly opened market after collapse of Soviet Union. Only 2 prototypes were ever produced until bankruptcy of Rīgas Autobusu Fabrika in 1998. Both prototypes were lost after the bankruptcy but were found and shown to public in 2011. Rīgas Autobusu Fabrika developed 2 concept models to replace the RAF-2203, the 1st concept being the RAF M1 'Roksana' and 2nd the RAF M2 'Stils' which was chosen as successor of RAF-2203, but start of mass production failed, hopes for small production failed soon after due lack of parts, budget and manpower. This minivan used modernized version of ZMZ-406 4 cylinder, 2,3 liter gasoline engine. It used hydropneumatic suspension, much like some Citroën vehicles. The design was produced together with Russian NAMI. The minivan version could have seated 12 people and reach speed up to 170 km/h. Ambulance version could have seated 4 with 1 patient bed.

title: Yasuda Castle

abstract: Yasuda Castle was a Sengoku period flatland-style Japanese castle located in the Fuchu neighborhood of the city of Toyama, Toyama Prefecture in the Hokuriku region of Honshu, Japan. The ruins have been protected as a National Historic Site since 1981.

# Yasuda Castle

**Yasuda Castle** (安田城, *Yasuda-jō*) was a Sengoku period flatland-style Japanese castle located in the Fuchu neighborhood of the city of Toyama, Toyama Prefecture in the Hokuriku region of Honshu, Japan. The ruins have been protected as a National Historic Site since 1981.

## Background

Yasuda Castle is located on the western bank of the Ida River, a tributary of Jinzū River, on the site of the Kureha hills, which divides Etchū Province between the Toyama and Takaoka regions. The castle consist of three areas. The inner bailey is approximately 80 meters square and was surrounded by a two-meter clay rampart. Given its small size and secure location, it was intended to serve as the commander's residence. The inner bailey is connected to a secondary bailey, which apparently was used to store military supplies. As the castle faced its enemy to the west, the western side is further protected by a large *kuruwa* enclosure. The total size of the caste was thus approximately 200 meters in length by 150 meters in width.

## History

The actual foundation of Yasuda Castle is not certain. During the 16th century, the surrounding area was contested between the local Jinbō clan, the Uesugi clan and followers of the *Ikkō-ikki* movement. Approximately five kilometers north of Yasuda Castle was Shiratori Castle, which was part of the outer defences of Toyama, then under the control of the warlord Sassa Narimasa. In 1585, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched his invasion of Etchū Province, he expanded Yasuda Castle to serve as a temporary field headquarters for the Toyotomi army. Okajima Kazuyoshi, one of Maeda Toshiie's retainers, was appointed castellan; however, faced with overwhelming odds, Sassa Narimasa surrendered Toyama after only a week, and Yasuda Castle was never used in battle.

Following these events, Etchū Province was awarded to Maeda Toshiie, who appointed a magistrate based at Yasuda Castle. After the construction of Kanazawa Castle, Yasuda Castle was abandoned. Field headquarters such as Yasuda Castle normally disappear completely shortly after they are abandoned; however, due to the geography of the site, the outlines of the moats and clay ramparts were preserved.

## Current situation

All of the structures of Yasuda Castle have long been lost and by the modern period, the moats had been filled in and much of the site was covered by rice paddy. In the late 1960s, the site was targeted for redevelopment, and in 1977 to 1978, archaeologists found the outlines of the moats and ramparts, and confirmed that the layout matched that of a map which is preserved in the Kanazawa City Library. The area received protection from development in 1981 with its designation as a National Historic Site. From 1990 to 1994, the moats were restored and the site was opened as a public park with some excavated items on display at the nearby **Yasuda Castle Ruins Museum** (安田城跡資料館, *Yasuda-jō ato shirokan*).

## Biography

Vadapalli Chandrasekhar, born on 6 November 1958 in Kolkata, in the Indian state of West Bengal, graduated in chemistry in 1975 and completed his post graduate studies in 1977 at Osmania University before enrolling for doctoral studies at Indian Institute of Science under the guidance of S. S. Krishnamurthy. After securing a PhD in 1982, he moved to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1983 and completed his post-doctoral studies at the laboratory of Robert R. Holmes in 1986. He returned to India the same year and started his career as a senior research officer at Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited but his stay there lasted only one year. In 1987, he joined IIT Kanpur as an assistant professor to commence a service which would extend till 2012; during this period, he held various positions such as that of an associate professor (1991–1995), professor (1995–), head of the department of chemistry (2008–2010) and dean of faculty affairs (2011–2012). His next move was to Tata Institute of Fundamental Research at their Hyderabad research station as a senior professor and dean and in 2014, he shifted to National Institute of Science Education and Research where he served as the director until 2017 before moving to his current position at TIFR Hyderabad. He has also served as a visiting faculty or fellow at various institutions such as University of Calgary, University of Göttingen, University of Tsukuba, and University of Würzburg.

## Legacy

Chandrasekhar's researches on the chemistry of inorganic clusters and rings are reported have led to a better understanding about a number of synthetic and structural problems. He is known to have worked extensively on developing new protocols for synthesizing the assembly of organotin clusters, multi-metal assemblies, cages and supramolecules as well as on inorganic-cored starburst molecules and polymeric ligands. He developed many new courses at under-graduate and graduate levels at IIT Kanpur and his teaching materials during this period have been compiled as a book, *Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers*. He has also contributed chapters to books authored/edited by others and has published several peer-reviewed articles; the online repository of the Indian Academy of Sciences has listed 132 of them.

abstract: The Vale do Sinos Regional Development Association, VALETEC, was established in 1998 as a non-profit private civil partnership at the Sinos River Valley in southern Brazil. Its goal is to promote technological development in the Vale do Sinos region by stimulating regional integration, providing incentives for entrepreneurship, while creating, attracting, hosting, and developing companies. In order to achieve this goal, VALETEC develops and manages environments for technological innovation, such as incubators, entrepreneurial condominiums, technology parks and complexes, as well as other initiatives aligned with this focus. VALETEC's main commitment is to contribute for the improvement of the Vale do Sinos quality of life, while forging links between educational and research institutions and the society, governments, and companies. This contributes to generate jobs and wealth, boosting the sustainable development of the Vale do Sinos technopolitan project. One of VALETEC's main initiatives was the creation of the Vale do Sinos Technology Park, VALETEC Park. The park currently works as a regional, multicampi and multisector enterprise, with its main axis following the path of highways RS-239 and BR-116, the Innovation Route. The first segment of the VALETEC Park was launched in the city of Campo Bom, in December, 2004. The second segment will consist of an urban park, to be established within the Hamburgo Velho's Historical Center, in the city of Novo Hamburgo. The park currently encompasses important educational institutions, research centers, labs, companies with intensive focus on knowledge, advanced services, incubators, entrepreneurial centers, facilities for the installation and expansion of companies, living areas and rooms for shared use. The VALETEC Park is ready to host entrepreneurs, new or consolidated companies and institutions that develop or plan on developing clean technology, applied to the following priority areas: agriculture, animal husbandry, and agribusiness; automation and informatics; biotechnology; leather and footwear industry; design; energy; environment; telecommunications; and creative economy. In the city of Campo Bom, the park segment has capacity for over 120 companies, research centers, scientific and economic development organizations, and advanced service providers. The park's initially encompasses an area of 365,000 m⁲, surrounded by lovely sceneries, a result of our deep respect for the environment. The surroundings have been keeping up with the park's growth. This is the result of the expansion and diversification of existing companies, along with the creation of spaces to host new business models and new areas for companies to operate in. Companies can be installed in the Campo Bom segment of the VALETEC Park under three different modalities: inside the Feevale's Technology Incubator, ITEF, for pre-incubation and incubation; in business accelerators and business condominiums, such as the Alberto Santos Dumont Business Center and the Montserrat Business Condominium; and in individual facilities, which companies may choose to either purchase or rent. Feevale is a regional community university which operates in the Campo Bom segment of the VALETEC Park through its Academic Extension Center. This is a space for learning, research and extension activities, with an auditorium, event hall, meeting rooms, restaurant and areas for partners and advanced service providers. In the surroundings of the Academic Extension Center, there are several green preservation areas which make perfect spots for relaxing outdoors, with plenty of shadow to contemplate nature and exercise creativity.

In the surroundings of the Academic Extension Center, there are several green preservation areas which make perfect spots for relaxing outdoors, with plenty of shadow to contemplate nature and exercise creativity.

## Innovation Route

The Innovation Route represents the VALETEC Park's main axis. It is located along the path of highways RS-239 and BR-116, and its initial project encompasses eight cities. After the Campo Bom segment was established, an opportunity to expand the park was envisioned. This was motivated by the fact that the city's master plan has, since the 1960s, been preserving a minimum of 350 meters on each side of highway RS-239 exclusively for business use. The project received resources from the Research and Projects Financing, FINEP, the Brazilian Innovation Agency, a division of the Ministry of Science and Technology, in order to plan, develop, and implement the best practices identified by VALETEC during its international missions. The studies performed made it possible to identify several advantages that ensured the VALETEC Park's success as a regional enterprise.

## Members

One of the VALETEC's stylemarks is shared management through a network of alliances. Companies that associate to VALETEC also become members of the VALETEC Park, and have access to a wide range of advantages, such as a relationship network that enables them to develop cooperative projects and receive financial funding for innovation. In addition, members have access to the shared infrastructure and high added value services, along with the possibility of establishing relationships with associated educational and research institutions.


title: Marie Louise Kold

abstract: Marie Louise Kold is an artist who works with the patination and etching of metals. She is Danish, born in Århus, Denmark in 1974, but lives and works in Sweden. Her works vary from single squares of bronze, copper or brass, patterned and coloured by immersion in acids, or by having their aging process speeded up through natural and chemical means, to complex portraits made up of thousands of small squares, given individual patination by various processes. Her use of multi-layering, juxtaposition and interlacing of copper foil with metal plate, is also an intrinsic part of her artistic process. Recurrent themes in her art are etched quotations from writers such as the Danish Karen Blixen and Hans Christian Andersen, art-nouveau reminiscent angels, and large letters, framed by waves of colours brought out of the metal itself. Major exhibitions include solos in Galleri Svenshög in Lund and Galleri New Form in Trelleborg, both in Sweden, as well as Illums Bolighus on Strøget, Copenhagen and Nordic Council of Ministers' Gallery, also in Copenhagen.
