Classic Brit Awards

The Classic BRIT Awards (previously Classical BRIT Awards) are an annual awards ceremony held in the United Kingdom covering aspects of classical and crossover music, and are the equivalent of popular music's Brit Awards. The awards are organised by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and were inaugurated in 2000 "in recognition of the achievements of classical musicians and the growth of classical music sales in the UK".

The ceremony takes place in the Royal Albert Hall each May. The event combines live performances with specially commissioned awards presented throughout the evening. Since 2011, the ceremony has been known as "Classic BRIT Awards". After a five-year hiatus following the 2013 ceremony, the Classic BRIT Awards returned with a ceremony broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall on 13 June 2018. It was subsequently revealed that the Classic BRIT Awards would become a biennial event, with the next ceremony scheduled to be held in 2020. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television networks across the globe; the 2020 live ceremony were suspended to a later date due to a ban on large gatherings by the government in March of that year.

Voting for the awards is done by "an academy of industry executives, the media, the British Association of Record Dealers (BARD), members of the Musicians Union, lawyers, promoters, and orchestra leaders," except for "Album of the Year" which is voted for by listeners of Classic FM.

Talk:Studniówka

What ages attend?
Saw this on Did you know on the main page. But I was curious if all high school age students attend or just the eldest year? Can you add a bit on that? You can also say what high school is called there if there is an english word for it.
 * Well, at my lyceum the 3rd grade organized the party for the 4th grade, so they were physically there, but they were kind of technical staff. However, my school was a tad different in that most schools in Warsaw organize the S-party at some hotel or restaurant these days, while we had it at our school - the good ol' way.  // Halibutt 06:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Studniówka is only for the last grade students, but they can invite someone (younger too) to accompany. //Raseta (talk) 21:13, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Alcohol
Do they get drunk on champagne or vodka? Ground 22:50, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Vodka. It's hard to get drunk on a glass of champagne. – Kpalion (talk) 11:08, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Officially - nothing; half-officially- a little champagne; practically- what students will be able to carry with them, usually vodka.

Rules
At my studniowka, NONE OF YOUR RULES applied MR Kapalion. That makes is a QED. But the subject is boring enough for me to bow out. Just be aware you misinform people!
 * If NONE of those rules applied, then how do you know it was a studniówka? – Kpalion (talk) 18:07, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * My text was "YOUR RULES", not "THOSE RULES". By "yours" I meant: the rules in which you changed my MIGHTS into your MUSTS. The name of the party was announced in advance, i.e. you did not need to know anything about the rules, just the date to come and have fun. None of your MUSTS applied. You are inventing an alternative reality. Just asked 3 of my contemporaries and they had a good laugh with your party rules (red undergarments? ribbons? [already forgot, care not check], nobody I know heard of it). Non-Poles will think we yearn for British-type monarchy with all those rigid rules of conduct inculcated from the young age. I came dressed my way, focused on food and girls and nobody told me what to do. Freedom!

 * Hm.. Maybe younger generation changed the rules? I mean in my liceum, a lot of girls had red underwear, first dane was polonaise and we had champagne... Szopen 16:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, we too had people who decided to treat it as a normal party, but there were two of them only. And the red garters... well, perhaps our dear anon simply did not check...  // Halibutt 06:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeap!!! Freedom!!! after all those year living in communist Poland and stack up boring politically correct Clinton-Bush USA, I had to say that red underwear I remember the best. Live free or die! that's what studniowka is all about!

Serra da Capivara National Park

Serra da Capivara National Park (Portuguese: Parque Nacional Serra da Capivara, ) is a national park in the Northeastern region of Brazil. The area has many prehistoric paintings.

The name of the mountain range that defines the park, "Serra da Capivara," literally means "Capybara Hills" in Portuguese. This area has the largest and the oldest concentration of prehistoric sites in the Americas. Scientific studies confirm that the Capivara mountain range was densely populated in the pre-Columbian Era.

Location
It is located in northeast state of Piauí, between latitudes 8° 26' 50" and 8° 54' 23" south and longitudes 42° 19' 47" and 42° 45' 51" west. It falls within the municipal areas of São Raimundo Nonato, São João do Piauí, Coronel José Dias and Canto do Buriti. It has an area of 1291.4 square kilometres (319,000 acres).

The Capivara-Confusões Ecological Corridor, created in 2006, links the park to the Serra das Confusões National Park.

History
The park was created to protect the prehistoric artifacts and paintings found there. It became a World Heritage Site in 1991. Its head archaeologist is Niède Guidon. Its best known archaeological site is Pedra Furada.

Scientific studies confirm that the Capivara mountain range was densely populated in the pre-Columbian Era. A newer site is Toca da Tira Peia, where the stone tools found may date to as early as 22,000 years ago. The site has been dated through optically stimulated luminescence.

Other important archaeological sites in the area are Toca da Pena, Baxao da Esperanca, and Sitio do Meio. Lapa do Boquete site is located directly south.

Wildlife
Bearded capuchins in the park have been found to have the "largest known tool kit for wild capuchin monkeys". Their stone tools include those for foraging, threat, and sexual displays, while they use sticks as tools for probing. Further, while on the ground, they dig with their hands after losing the soil with stone tools for roots and arthropods.

Sítio do Meio
Sítio do Meio is the second most important rock shelter in the area after Pedra Furada. It features fully Pleistocene dates and artefacts. The stone artefacts are better preserved because of the absence of waterfalls. At least 98 stone tools seem older than 12,500 BP. They belong to the Upper Pleistocenic phase of Pedra Furada 3.

Y Cyrff

Y Cyrff (1983–1991; The Bodies) was a Welsh language indie band in the 1980s, initially formed at the Ysgol Dyffryn Conwy secondary school in Llanrwst, Conwy. The original line-up consisted of Barry Cawley (bass), Emyr Davies (vocals), Dylan Hughes (drums) and Mark Roberts (lead guitars). They performed on Welsh language television, and internationally, until they broke up in 1991. Afterwards, Roberts formed Catatonia, with Jones joining the band a while later. Cawley was also a guitar technician for the band.

History
Y Cyrff were formed by Mark Roberts in the fifth year of secondary school. The initial line-up had Barry Cawley on bass, Emyr Davies on vocals, and Dylan Hughes on drums. They were influenced by Joe Strummer and The Clash. Managing the band was Tony Schiavone, who was also their Geography teacher. Many of their earliest performances were at their school, Ysgol Dyffryn Conwy, but they also played at the Llanrwst community centre.

After the school years, Emyr left the band, and Roberts took over as vocalist. Around the same time, Cawley switched position to rhythm guitarist, allowing Paul Jones, a friend of Roberts' from outside school, to join the band as bassist. He was older than the other boys, and was working in a dog food factory at the time. The band performed Welsh language songs, and began to get noticed by the fanzines of the genre. They would often work with Yr Anhrefn, either supporting them in their concerts or doing the reverse, when Y Cyrff were booked as the lead act. Their first recorded work was on the Cam O'r Tywyllwch compilation album on Anhrefn Records in 1985 and their track Lebanon was described by reviewer Neil Crud as being "head and shoulders above" other songs on the album.

Y Cyrff formed their own record label to release the single "Pum Munud" ("Five Minutes") in 1986, and later that year they were offered the chance to perform on the S4C television channel. When they later performed in front of English speaking student unions, the band received some criticism from some Welsh speakers according to Rhys Mwyn. Y Cyrff were signed to the Sain record label and recorded the seven track long album, Y Testament Newydd ("The New Testament") in 1987. Dylan left the band shortly afterwards to join Yr Anhrefn, and was replaced by Mark Kendall.

Through connections with the Welsh television programme Fideo 9, they were able to make music videos and performed overseas in Warsaw, Poland. They also played at concerts arranged by the Welsh Language Society. It was at one of those performances where Y Cyrff played for the last time in 1991 at the Pavilion in Pontrhydfendigaid. The band broke up as they realised that they couldn't get mainstream success singing only in Welsh.

After the band split up, Mark Roberts went on to form Catatonia with Cerys Matthews. When the band signed to the Crai label, Roberts brought Jones into the band from Y Cyrff. Barry Cawley, who later worked as a guitar technician with Catatonia, was killed in 2000 when his cycle was hit by a car near Llanrwst.

Dnevnik (Bulgarian newspaper)

Dnevnik (Дневник) is a business-oriented Bulgarian daily newspaper, that is published Monday - Friday in Sofia since 2001. Until early 2005, it was printed in broadsheet format, the last Bulgarian daily to use the large format. It adopted a compact format after research in 2005 found that more than 50% of the readers would prefer a smaller, thicker paper. Dnevnik's main editorial line is that the state should intervene less, and that business should have more freedom. Like the influential business and politics weekly Capital, it is published by Sofia-based Economedia.

German publishing group Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group was the owner of a 50 per cent stake in Economedia, but the Bulgarian owners of Economedia bought the shares back in November 2007.

With a print-run of between 12,000 and 15,000, Dnevnik claimed 6,000 paid subscribers, distributed between 2,000 and 5,000 copies free-of-charge and sold about 5,000 copies at newsstands, the publisher's figures showed, adding that each copy had about five readers. In November 2005, Dnevnik launched Morski Dnevnik, a weekly supplement for Bulgaria's Black Sea region with each Friday's paper.

Dnevnik publishes daily web editions in Bulgarian and English and sends a daily summary of the day's top stories by email in either language to anyone who signs up for this free service. It also offers a Bulgarian-language RSS newsfeed.

Owners and representatives
As per Bulgarian Trade register owners of the Dnevnik - Economedia are not disclosed as the company is a joint stock company per registration but directors and representatives are Ivo Georgiev Prokopiev, Philip Michailov Harmandzhiev and Galia Valentinova Prokopieva. Also legal representatives who are not shareholders are: Kostadin Dimitrov Georgiev and Neli Velkova Hristova. Share capital of the company is 6,379,957 BGN (€3.2 mln, or $4.4 mln). The company's liabilities include a drawn €1 mln loan from the Greek Alpha bank.

George Tinworth

George Tinworth (5 November 1843 – 11 September 1913 ) was an English ceramic artist who worked for the Doulton factory at Lambeth from 1867 until his death.

Birth and training
Born at 6 Milk Street, Walworth Common, South London, England, Tinworth was the son of a greengrocer turned wheelwright and the family suffered extreme poverty. Brought up to follow in his father's footsteps, he spent his spare time carving off-cuts and soon showed a precocious talent for art. He had been impressed as a boy with so-called living statues who displayed themselves at fairs. He used to peek through the cracks of the tents. At home he began to "do the statues before the looking-glass." (Chums boys' annual, 1896, page 135). He started to carve butter stamps and a foreman plasterer in the next street suggested he went to art school to study anatomy. At nineteen he pawned his overcoat to pay for evening classes at the local Lambeth School of Art in Kennington Park Road. In Chums Boys Annual of 1896 Tinworth explained: "I had to keep the whole affair dark from my father. Indeed, I went to Lambeth School of Art of a night for months before he knew anything about it.  He used to ask my mother where I was, but happily for me she always refused to gratify his curiosity." (Chums, 1896).

Before he sold any work he made money by mending cart wheels. He also worked in a fireworks factory earning half a crown per week. From there he moved to a hot presser's where for four shillings per week he worked from seven in the morning until nine at night.

In the same year that he began study at Lambeth he created 'The Mocking of Christ', now on show at the Cuming Museum on the Walworth Road, Southwark.

From the Lambeth School of Art (now the City and Guilds of London Art School ) he went on to the Royal Academy Schools in 1864, winning various medals for his work.

Doulton & Co
After the Royal Academy he got a job with Doulton, the Lambeth stoneware manufacturer, Tinworth had previously been one of a group of students from the Lambeth School of Art who assisted its principal, John Sparkes in the making of a terracotta frieze for an extension to Doulton's premises.

He began work at the Doulton factory making cases for water filters, but soon moved on to making the new range of salt-glazed stoneware that became known simply as "Doulton Ware". About thirty examples of his work were shown at the 1867 Paris Exhibition. His father died in the same year, and he was left as the main supporter of his mother and family.

At Doulton, he produced vases, jugs, humorous figures and animals and larger pieces. Through his engagement with Doulton, Tinworth also designed an altarpiece, a pulpit and a font for St. Alban's Anglican Church which was consecrated in 1887 in Copenhagen, Denmark. They were donations from the factory to the church and manufactured in terra cotta with salt glazed details to Tinworth 's design.

Notable work
The Cuming Museum, Southwark, has three examples of his life-sized clay heads and a terracotta scene entitled The Jews making bricks under Egyptian Taskmasters. This last was presented to the museum by Doulton and Co in 1914 as a memorial to Tinworth; they seem not to have recognised that it could be interpreted as an allegory of the exploitation of his fellow clayworkers.

Many of his pieces were shown at the Royal Academy where they were admired by John Ruskin, amongst others. The first to be exhibited there, in the year he joined the school, was a group of children fighting called "Peace and Wrath in Low Life". A large scale terracotta fountain, "The Fountain of Life", was donated to Kennington Park by Henry Doulton in 1872 (or 1869?). This was vandalised in the 1980s and The Friends of the Park are seeking funding for its restoration.

Other pieces by Tinworth are to be found in the Museum of Garden History in Lambeth; adjacent to the main entrance of St Bede's College, Manchester; in the panel above the entrance to the former Doulton Works in Black Prince Road, Lambeth; the Baptist Chapel in Wraysbury; in Truro Cathedral, Cornwall; in St Mark's Church in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent; and in St Mary's Church in Burton, Wiltshire.

In 1870, Tinworth was commissioned to produce two stone friezes for the royal parish church at Sandringham, Norfolk. The works, entitled The Brazen Serpent and Descent from the Cross were later removed from the church and in 1930 were donated by The Royal Collection to St Gabriel's Church, North Acton, following a national appeal for assistance in completing the church, after its construction costs exceeded the available funds. They remain on public display in Acton.

The Cuming Museum has Tinworth's major independent art project in storage. This is a 4 ft model of a project for an elaborate memorial to Southwark's connection with Shakespeare, made in 1904. Enough public donations were never achieved to realise it. Though this was Tinworth's most ambitious autonomous art project, he also made a number of complex figure compositions in relief, including The Release of Barabas and Saul attacking David.

The Southwark Local Studies Archive has his manuscript (and unpublished) autobiography.

At York Minster, the reredos of St Stephen's Chapel in terracotta is due to Tinworth. It was added in 1937.

Death
Tinworth died in London on 11 September 1913 and was buried in his mother's plot at West Norwood Cemetery. The monument on the tomb was one of many destroyed by the London Borough of Lambeth, who reused the grave for new burials in the 1980s. After a legal protest by a descendant, Lambeth placed a simple plaque commemorating the people buried in the plot.

His name is commemorated in Tinworth Street, Lambeth.

Dennis Viollet

Dennis Sydney Viollet (20 September 1933 – 6 March 1999) was an English footballer who played for Manchester United and Stoke City as well as the England national team. He was famous as one of the Busby Babes and survived the Munich air disaster. After his retirement as player, he became a coach and spent most of his managerial career in the United States for various professional and school teams.

Manchester United
Viollet joined Manchester United on 1 September 1949. He came through the junior ranks at United and turned professional in 1950. His first competitive game for the first team came against Newcastle United on 11 April 1953 and he was a key part of the United teams that won back to back First Division titles in 1956 and 1957. One of his most notable games came on 26 September 1956, in the second leg of United's European Cup preliminary round tie against Belgian champions Anderlecht, in which he scored four goals in a 10–0 win that remains United's biggest competitive victory. In February 1958, Viollet was flying back from a European Cup match in Belgrade via Munich; attempting to take off in bad weather, the plane crashed, killing 21 people, including seven Manchester United players, in what would become known as the Munich air disaster. Viollet survived, suffering only injuries to his head and face, and he returned to action before the end of the season, less than three months later. He played in the 1958 FA Cup Final against Bolton Wanderers, which United lost 2–0, and less than a week later, he scored the equalising goal in a 2–1 win over Milan in the first leg of their European Cup semi-final; Milan won the second leg 4–0 to deny United a place in the final.

After scoring 21 goals in 37 league appearances in 1958–59, Viollet had his most prolific season to date in 1959–60, scoring 32 goals in 36 league appearances, a club record. In recognition of his scoring exploits, Viollet received his first call-up to the England team in May 1960; after being left out for a 3–3 home draw with Yugoslavia and a 3–0 away defeat to Spain on 15 May, he was named at inside left for a 2–0 away defeat to Hungary a week later. Despite missing three months of the 1960–61 season, he still scored 15 goals, behind only Bobby Charlton and Alex Dawson as Manchester United's top scorer, and in September 1961, he was called up to the England squad again for a 1962 World Cup qualifier at home to Luxembourg; Viollet scored England's second goal in a 4–1 win. In January 1962, Matt Busby surprisingly sold the 28-year-old Viollet to Stoke City for £25,000 after scoring 179 goals in 293 appearances for United.

Stoke City
He joined a team being re-built by Tony Waddington, containing experienced players such as Stanley Matthews, and Jackie Mudie and also emerging talent such as John Ritchie and Eric Skeels. His signing was viewed as a coup for Stoke as at 28 Viollet was still in his prime. He made a decent start to his Stoke career scoring five goals towards the end of the 1961–62 season meaning that hopes were high for 1962–63. While six games without a win heralded another poor start for Stoke, Viollet kick-started Stoke's season with four goals against Charlton Athletic on 12 September. That win gave Stoke the impetus to embark on an unbeaten run of 18, ended by Leeds United on 15 December. The winter of 1962–63 saw no matches played for two months and once football resumed in March Stoke lost once in their next 13 matches and won the Second Division title with Viollet scoring 23 goals. With Stoke back in the First Division after a ten-year absence Waddington decided to move Viollet into midfield. He played and scored in the 1964 Football League Cup Final as Stoke lost 4–3 to Leicester City. He continued to play for Stoke until the summer of 1967 when he announced his retirement after scoring 66 goals in 207 matches for the "Potters". Shortly after his death in March 1999 he was honoured by the club having a street near the Britannia Stadium named 'Dennis Viollet Avenue'.

Later career
Shortly after leaving the Victoria Ground, he came out of retirement to join NASL team Baltimore Bays in the United States for a season. On returning to Britain, he played for non-league Witton Albion, before finishing his career at Linfield helping them to win the Irish cup in 1970. Once his playing career finished, he had spells coaching at Preston North End, and Crewe Alexandra briefly in 1971.

International career
On 22 May 1960, at the end of his record-breaking season with Manchester United, Viollet won his first full England cap in a 2–0 friendly defeat to Hungary in Budapest. His second and final appearance came on 28 September 1961, in a qualifying game for the 1962 World Cup at Highbury, in which he scored in a 4–1 win over Luxembourg.

Coaching career in the United States
In 1974, Dennis Viollet became the first head coach for the Washington Diplomats of the NASL. In 1978, Viollet was selected by his former United teammate, head coach Noel Cantwell, to serve as assistant coach of the New England Tea Men of the North American Soccer League. After three seasons in the Boston area, the team relocated to Jacksonville, Florida in 1981 where Viollet continued as assistant coach, ultimately becoming head coach, of the Jacksonville Tea Men of the NASL, ASL and United Soccer League. The Team Men won the ASL, bringing the city of Jacksonville its first ever professional sports championship. Viollet in 1985 coached the varsity boys soccer team at St. Johns Country Day School located in Orange Park, Florida. He also coached the Jacksonville Knights, a professional indoor soccer team, in 1989. In 1990, Viollet took the reins of the Jacksonville University Dolphins, where he stayed until 1995. Jacksonville University and their primary rivals, the University of North Florida, compete annually for the Dennis Viollet Cup. He then took the USISL Richmond Kickers to the 1995 American Double (USISL Premier League and US Open Cup titles). He stayed with Richmond for 2 seasons, then served as coach of the A-League Jacksonville Cyclones before his death from cancer on 6 March 1999, aged 65, in his adopted home of Jacksonville.

In additional to his professional coaching career, Dennis Viollet made important volunteer contributions to youth soccer development in the Orange Park community near Jacksonville. He became an influential member of Orange Park Soccer Club in the early 1980s, helping to organize the club and volunteering to coach a number of youth teams. Over the years that club grew to become Clay County Soccer Club, and in recognition of Dennis' contributions in its early days they honored him by naming their primary soccer field complex after him (Dennis Viollet Soccer Complex) in Orange Park, Florida. Dennis also ran youth soccer camps every summer in Orange Park at St. Johns Country Day School, where he would invite players from teams he managed such as the Jacksonville Teamen or later Jacksonville University players, to act as instructors. Dennis coached and mentored numerous local youth players who later succeeded at various college and professional levels.

Personal life
Viollet was born in Fallowfield, Manchester, in September 1933, the youngest of three children born to Charles Sydney Viollet (1890–1961) and Hannah Tomlinson (1893–1992); he had two older sisters, Vera (born 1917) and Audrey (born 1930). He grew up as a Manchester City supporter.

He married Barbara Mavis Southern at St Edmund's Church, Manchester, in 1951, when he was 17 years old. Their daughter Stephanie was born later that year, and they later had two sons, Roger (born 1957) and Malcolm (born 1961), and another daughter, Deborah (born 1958). They divorced in 1969, and in June that year, Viollet married Helen B. Greeph; they were married until his death nearly 30 years later. Their daughter Rachel (born 1972) became the British number one ranked tennis player when she reached the second round of Wimbledon in 1996. During her tennis career, she won one ITF singles tournament and one ITF doubles tournament.

Viollet died in March 1999 after a two-year battle against cancer, with a brain tumour first being diagnosed during 1997, despite treatment and surgery during that time to combat the illness.

In 2010, Viollet was inducted into the Washington, D.C. Soccer Hall of Fame. Viollet was also inducted into the first class of the United Soccer League Hall of Fame in 2002. The annual University of North Florida/Jacksonville University soccer match has been contested for the Viollet Cup since 2001. The Dennis Viollet Soccer Training Center was dedicated in 2006 and located at the Complete Soccer Academy in Longwood, Florida.

"on his return to Wangi" comes before any other mention of this suburb,of which the full name (given later) is Wangi Wangi. I presume there was an intention to say that he settled there at some date. Can someone provide this info? Spathaky (talk) 10:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

I visited the Newcastle gallery regularly, and saw several good Dobell paintings there on regualr display. They are striking in their style. The amateur biographer invites people to use the work - but not copy verbatim. I did not. Peter Ellis 17:53, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

LGBT?
There is one sentence in the article that says he was a homosexual, not backed up by any references. Unless a reliable source is added to that statement, it should be deleted. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:12, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I commend your efforts to ensure articles robustly reference sources when discussing LGBT issues. However I would rather that you took more of a stance that erred towards the 'benefit of the doubt' in many cases - looking yourself to improve articles to help people who wish to use wikipedia to research LGBT issues rather than deleting anything that's not 100%. You must be well aware that someone's sexuality is a difficult thing to 'prove' either way; and frequently it's appropriate to take a more nuanced approach. Otherwise we'll quickly find that LGBT issues disappear completely from articles. That aside, I agree where there are reliable sources to support a textual insertion then they should be used to back it up. Contaldo80 (talk) 15:06, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I understand what you are saying, but I have a bot that weekly provides a list of articles where an LGBT cat has been added, and roughly half of the 100+ every week are vandalism edits. Take a look at WikiProject LGBT studies/Cat Search 4 New Pages.  Furthermore (not in this case), WP:BLP requires a verifiable source for an LGBT category.  I will try not to step on your toes. :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:29, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Interix

Interix was an optional, POSIX-conformant Unix subsystem for Windows NT operating systems. Interix was a component of Windows Services for UNIX, and a superset of the Microsoft POSIX subsystem. Like the POSIX subsystem, Interix was an environment subsystem for the NT kernel. It included numerous open source utility software programs and libraries. Interix was originally developed and sold as OpenNT until purchased by Microsoft in 1999.

Interix versions 5.2 and 6.0 were respective components of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate, and Windows Server 2008 as Subsystem for Unix-based Applications (SUA ). Version 6.1 was included in Windows 7 (Enterprise and Ultimate editions) but disabled by default, and in Windows Server 2008 R2 (all editions). It was available as a deprecated separate download for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, and is not available at all on Windows 10.

Details
The complete installation of Interix included (at version 3.5):
 * Over 350 Unix utilities such as vi, ksh, csh, ls, cat, awk, grep, kill, etc.
 * A complete set of manual pages for utilities and APIs
 * GCC 3.3 compiler, includes and libraries
 * A cc/c89-like wrapper for Microsoft Visual Studio command-line C/C++ compiler
 * GNU Debugger
 * X11 client applications and libraries (no X server included, though third party servers were available)
 * Has Unix "root" capabilities (i.e. setuid files)
 * Has pthreads, shared libraries, DSOs, job control, signals, sockets, shared memory

The development environment included support for C, C++ and Fortran. Threading was supported using the Pthreads model. Additional languages could be obtained (Python, Ruby, Tcl, etc.). Unix-based software packaging and build tools were available for installing or creating pre-build software packages.

Starting with release 5.2 (Server 2003/R2) the following capabilities were added:
 * "Mixed mode" for linking Unix programs with Windows DLLs
 * 64-bit CPU support (in addition to 32-bit)
 * Large file system support on 64-bit systems
 * System V R4 utilities can be optionally installed instead of the default BSD-based utilities
 * MSVC debugging plug-in
 * Database (OCI/ODBC) library connectivity

With release 6.0 (Vista and Server 2008) the following new features were added:
 * IPv6 support for socket APIs and daemons
 * Updates to utilities for additional functionality
 * MSVC debugging plug-in enhanced

Interix release 6.0 for Vista was only available with the Ultimate and Enterprise editions.

Interix release 6.1 was available for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 for the Enterprise and Ultimate editions.

Support
Traditional support was provided by Microsoft for a fee or service contract, though released hotfixes can usually be obtained free of charge from Microsoft. Previously, free support could be found via the forums at the SUA Community site and with the FAQ, however this appears to have been withdrawn.

Additions
Additional pre-built applications and development libraries could be obtained for free from the SUA Community site, the Gentoo-prefix site and the Debian-Interix site. These included commonly used applications not part of the Microsoft installation such as OpenSSH, Git, Python and bash.

The SUA Community site included for developers of Interix and the site has been contracted by Microsoft for several Interix and SUA updates of utilities and documentation.

History
This product began to be developed in 1996 under the product name OpenNT by Softway Systems, Inc. before the name was changed to Interix in 1998. The last release by Softway Systems was release 2.2. Softway Systems had virtually completed the next release code-named Firebrand in 1999 which became the basis of Interix 3.0.

The Interix interoperability suite developed by Softway Systems Inc., included substantial code from OpenBSD,. Microsoft acquired Interix in 1999.

Microsoft continued to distribute Interix 2.2 as a standalone product until 2002.

Interix release 3.0 was released as component of Windows Services for Unix (SFU) 3.0 in 2002. Interix release 3.5 was released as component of SFU 3.5 in January, 2004.

Interix became integrated as a component of the regular Windows OS distribution as a component of Windows Server 2003 R2 in December, 2005 at release 5.2 and was a component of the Windows Vista release as release 6.0 (RTM November, 2006). Windows Server 2008 had release 6.0. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 included SUA 6.1.

Microsoft announced in 2011 that Interix would not be included in Windows versions after Windows 8 and customers should start migrating their applications to an alternative solution.

International Wushu Federation

The International Wushu Federation (IWUF) is an international sport organization and is the governing body for wushu in all its forms worldwide. The IWUF is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and is also a member of the ARISF, GAISF, FISU, IWGA, and the ISF.

Organization
The main governing bodies of the IWUF are the President and the Executive Board, the Secretariat, the Congress which meets every two years, and various technical committees. The IWUF's headquarters are located in Lausanne, Switzerland and Beijing, China. The current president of IWUF is Mr. Zhongwen Gou of China (2019-present).

As of 2020, there are 155 national federations affiliated with the IWUF which are organized under the following continental federations:

 * Wushu Federation of Asia
 * European Wushu Federation
 * Pan American Wushu Federation
 * African Wushu Federation
 * Oceania Wushu Kungfu Federation

History
On October 3, 1990 in Beijing during the 11th Asian Games, the IWUF was established after four years of development by a preparatory committee from the Chinese Wushu Association (CWA). Since 1991, the IWUF has held 15 World Wushu Championships and has helped over 100 federations (List of member federations External) around the globe to organize their own championships and national tournaments. The IWUF has also been in an active pursuit of olympic wushu after being fully recognized by the IOC in 2002. The IWUF fell short of having wushu becoming an Olympic sport in 2008, but the IOC allowed them to host an international wushu competition alongside the 2008 Summer Olympics, which was known as the 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament. During the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, wushu was an official demonstration sport, and wushu will return to the Youth Olympics in 2026. The IWUF hoped for inclusion in the 2020 Olympics but wushu was shortlisted in 2013 and again in 2015. Despite this, wushu has been included in several multi-sport events such as the Asian Games, East Asian Youth Games, Southeast Asian Games, World Games, World Combat Games, and the Universiade.

The IWUF has redefined the definition of sport wushu, dividing it into two main disciplines: taolu (forms), and sanda (unarmed combat).

Primary

 * World Wushu Championships
 * World Junior Wushu Championships
 * World Kungfu Championships
 * Sanda World Cup
 * Taolu World Cup
 * World Taijiquan Championships

Special/historical

 * 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament
 * 2014 Nanjing Youth Wushu Tournament

National Student Press Week

National Student Press Week is a week-long observance celebrating the achievements, diversity and freedom of the student press in Canada. It also provides an opportunity to educate students and the public about the important role the student press plays on Canadian university and college campuses, and in building the future of Canadian journalism. It takes places on the last full week of every January.

It was established on January 24, 2005, by members of the Canadian University Press—a co-operative and newswire service composed of about 70 student newspapers—during its 67th national conference in Edmonton, Alberta.

History
It was established on January 24, 2005, by members of the Canadian University Press—a co-operative and newswire service composed of about 70 student newspapers—during its 67th national conference in Edmonton, Alberta, when they unanimously declared the last full week of every January, Sunday to Saturday, to be National Student Press Week.

The first annual National Student Press Week was observed in 2005 from 23 January to 29 January. The city of Prince George, British Columbia, became the first jurisdiction to formally recognize National Student Press Week in February 2005. The Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, followed with a proclamation in March. Other governments across Canada also proclaimed National Student Press Week that year.

USS Hermitage (LSD-34)

USS Hermitage (LSD-34) was a Thomaston-class dock landing ship of the United States Navy. She was named for The Hermitage, President Andrew Jackson's estate just outside Nashville, Tennessee.

Hermitage was laid down on 11 April 1955, by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp., Pascagoula, Miss.; launched on 12 June 1956; sponsored by Mrs. Alfred M. Pride, wife of Vice Admiral Alfred M. Pride, and commissioned on 14 December 1956. She was decommissioned on 2 October 1989, being transferred to the Brazilian Navy, where she served as NDD Ceará (G-30). She was decommissioned in 2016, being sunk as target on 10 June 2021.

Service history
While on shakedown in the Caribbean, Hermitage was informally inspected by Admiral Arleigh Burke, then Chief of Naval Operations. After training operations out of Naval Station Norfolk, she sailed for the Mediterranean Sea in late August to join the 6th Fleet. Hermitage participated in exercises with NATO units and visited Sicily, Crete, Turkey, Italy, Greece, and Spain before returning to the States on 16 November 1957. Operations primarily with fast amphibious helicopter assault equipment and tactics occupied her until November 1959. With a cargo of Presidential helicopters embarked, Hermitage sailed to Karachi on 2 December via the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Suez Canal, and Red and Arabian seas to furnish transportation for President Dwight D. Eisenhower on his Asian and European tour. Mission successfully completed; she returned home via Barcelona on 17 January 1960.

Hermitage sailed on 28 November as flagship for Admiral A. L. Reed, COMSOLANT, for a good will cruise to South America and Africa. In the midst of this important cruise, Hermitage was diverted on 19 January 1961 to carry grain to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to help the United Nations combat starvation in that country. Relieved as flagship on 3 May by USS Spiegel Grove (LSD-32), Hermitage returned to Virginia on 16 May and soon resumed her pattern of operations and exercises off the Virginia Capes and in the Caribbean.

When the presence of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba threatened war in October 1962, Hermitage sailed to Guantanamo Bay to transport Marines to that threatened base and underline America's determination to maintain her position there. A second cruise to the Mediterranean from May to October 1963 took Hermitage to Naples, Athens, Genoa, Cannes, Sardinia, Malta, and Rota, Spain as well as other ports in the 6th Fleet's area.

After an assignment in February 1964 to the Caribbean Ready Squadron 12 based in Panama, early in May Hermitage undertook a logistics lift to Bermuda, and Sydney and Halifax, Nova Scotia, and in the fall took part until late November in the Navy-Marine Corps peacetime exercise "Operation Steel Pike I", visiting ports of Málaga and Gibraltar. In June 1965 she participated in a three-month deployment to the Caribbean area during the later stages of the Dominican Republic crisis, making practice amphibious landings at Vieques Island. After completion of overhaul in February 1966 followed by refresher training and amphibious training, Hermitage transported a marine battalion to the Caribbean in May. Through 1967 she continued in her assignment to the Atlantic Fleet.

NDD Ceará (G-30)
Hermitage was decommissioned on 2 October 1989. She was transferred to the Brazilian Navy as Navio de Desembarque de Doca (Dock Landing Ship) NDD Ceará (G30) the same day. The ship was sold outright to Brazil and struck from the US Naval Vessel Register on 24 January 2001. The name came from one of the Brazilian states which had been used to name a monitor in the late 1800s --Brazilian monitor Ceará—and then a modern mother-ship for submarines built by Italy in the early 1900s.

During her Brazilian Navy service, Ceará undertook sealift missions to transport Brazilian Army and Marine Corps vehicles and supplies between Port-au-Prince and Rio de Janeiro in support of Brazil's MINUSTAH contingent. In the Comissão Haiti XXI voyage in April 2015, the ship suffered 'engine problems' that left her adrift 500 nautical miles away from Belém, off the coast of French Guiana. The ship was eventually towed back to the port of Belém for repairs and her original mission was completed by the Navio de Desembarque de Carros de Combate (Landing Ship, Tank) NDCC Almirante Saboia. While in port, a small scale fire erupted in one of the vessel's habitable compartments, causing no casualties and no significant damage. The ship left Belém on 1 August 2015, arriving in Rio de Janeiro by 27 August.

By March 2016, the Brazilian Navy decided to have the ship decommissioned by the 29th of April that year. In June 2021, the vessel was sunk as part of the live fire exercise Operation Missilex 2021 off the coast of Rio de Janeiro and Cabo Frio, which involved the frigates Liberal and Independência firing their Mark 8s and testing the Brazilian-made MANSUP anti-ship missile, as well as Mk. 82 bombs and strafing runs from A-4 Skyhawk fighters and a Mk. 48 torpedo launched from the submarine Tupi.
