Peaceful (song)

"Peaceful" is a song written by Kenny Rankin, and recorded by several artists. It is best known in the hit singles for Georgie Fame (1969) and Helen Reddy (1973).

Introduced by Rankin on his 1967 debut album Mind Dusters on Mercury Records, "Peaceful" was recorded by Bobbie Gentry for her 1968 album Local Gentry on Capitol Records. A 1969 single recording by Georgie Fame - produced by Mike Smith and arranged/conducted by Keith Mansfield for CBS - reached #16 in UK that summer. Fame's version of "Peaceful" had a concurrent single release in the US by Epic Records, prompting Mercury to issue Rankin's original track as a single, but neither single charted. "Peaceful" was also recorded in 1969 by The Friends of Distinction for their Grazin' album on RCA.

Rankin re-recorded the song in 1972, in a new arrangement for his album Like a Seed, his Atlantic Records debut and first chart appearance. That same year Helen Reddy recorded "Peaceful" for her 1972 I Am Woman album. Issued as the follow-up to the #1 hit "I Am Woman" in February 1973 and rising as high as #3 in St. Louis and #2 in Chicago (WCFL), Reddy's version of "Peaceful" peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 that May. "Peaceful" also became Reddy's second consecutive #2 Easy Listening hit: the follow-up "Delta Dawn" would be Reddy's first Easy Listening #1 (the first of six consecutive and eight overall). In Canada, "Peaceful" spent two weeks at #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

The first comics character of this name was the robot hero Electro, who possessed superhuman strength and could run at 100 mph, a backup-feature star in Marvel Mystery Comics, flagship title of Marvel's Golden Age predecessor, Timely Comics.

Electro appears in The Twelve by J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Weston, published in 2008 and 2012.

Electro appears, part of a cadre of heroes trapped in a secret bunker during the Battle of Berlin, seemingly for examination by Nazi scientists. After the fall of the Third Reich, the eleven heroes are left in suspended animation, with no one knowing of their final fate, and Electro is cut off by the telepatic mindwaves of Philo Zog.

Facebook structure

News Feed

On September 6, 2006, Ruchi Sanghvi announced a new home page feature called News Feed. Originally, when users logged into Facebook, they were presented with a customizable version of their own profile. The new layout, by contrast, created an alternative home page in which users saw a constantly updated list of their friends' Facebook activity. News Feed highlights information that includes profile changes, upcoming events, and birthdays, among other updates. This has enabled spammers and other users to manipulate these features by creating illegitimate events or posting fake birthdays to attract attention to their profile or cause. News Feed also shows conversations taking place between the walls of a user's friends. An integral part of the News Feed interface is the Mini Feed, a news stream on the user's profile page that shows updates about that user. Unlike in the News Feed, the user can delete events from the Mini Feed after they appear so that they are no longer visible to profile visitors. In 2011 Facebook updated the News Feed to show top stories and most recent stories in one feed, and the option to highlight stories to make them top stories, as well as to un-highlight stories. In response to users' criticism, Facebook later updated the News Feed to allow users to view recent stories first.

TAG 7

The TAG 7 is a superheated steam locomotive, that was developed and built in 1936 by Krauss-Maffei as EAG 7 for the private Schaftlach-Gmund-Tegernsee Railway Company (Eisenbahn-Aktiengesellschaft Schaftlach-Gmund-Tegernsee or EAG) - later the Tegernsee Railway AG (TAG). Today it belongs to the Bavarian Localbahn Union.

This tank locomotive with its 1'D1' axle arrangement, together with its two sister engines LAG Nos. 87 and 88, is the last and most powerful branch line (Lokalbahn) locomotive to be built in Bavaria. Its power of 470 PSi enabled a top speed of 70 km/h in both directions. The EAG needed the new engines to relieve its two smaller locomotives, nos. EAG 5 and 6 (Bavarian GtL 4/4s) and to gradually take the aging and rickety EAG 3 and 4 out of service. TAG 7 proved itself so well, that a year later two more engines were built by the Lokalbahn AG (the aforementioned LAG Nos. 87 and 88).

Tag 26

Tag 26 (2002, duration of 18 minutes approx.) is the third short film by German director Andreas Samland. It is sometimes called by the English translation of the title "Day 26". It was shot about 70 km away from Berlin, close to the Polish border. The film featured almost no dialogue and actors' faces were hidden behind masks for most of the movie. The few words spoken in the movie are in German. The production budget was 2500 euros but the film overspent to 7000 euros. The director quotes Tarkovskij´s Stalker as the main influence for his film.
