Parahelicoprion is an extinct genus of shark-like eugeneodontid holocephalid from the Permian of the Ural Mountains and South America. Its name is a derivation of Helicoprion, from the Ancient Greek words \"Nearly coiled saw\", another holocephalid that shares similar traits to it, including the helical whorl of teeth. One of the primary qualities that separate Parahelicoprion from the aforementioned Helicoprion is the shape, thickness and angle of the tooth whorl. This whorl sharks teeth protrude outwards not like a tightly coiled saw but instead a curved arrangement of cutting blades indicating it relied less on crushing slow-moving invertebrates and catching squid and other small mollusk prey, but inflicting traumatic damage against more durable, faster prey. Their teeth grew at a much slower pace than that of other whorl-tooth sharks, resulting in a depreciated spiral, growing only half of the teeth a Helicoprion would grow in its life time. The tooth spiral also was able to indicate the age of the eugeneodontidans in question. | Animal |

Both genera are informally grouped as \"lapsiines\", together with Lapsias. However, the shared basal characteristics with Lapsias could be symplesiomorphic. Males of Thrandina parocula are about 4 mm long. Their carapace is dark brown to black, except for a central pale longitudinal stripe on the thorax. The legs are pale to medium brown, with a darker femur I. The abdomen is medium brown with lighter chevrons above, and pale below with dark speckles. The female is slightly smaller with a bodylength of 3.6 mm. It looks like the male, but with more annulate legs. Thrandina parocula was collected from moss-covered branches and tree-trunks in the understory of moist forests at elevations of 1,000 meters and higher, up to 2,270 m. Males walk fluid but hesitantly, frequently pausing and then raising and lowering.their first two pairs of legs in synchrony. A similar gait is observed in Spartaeinae. | Animal |

Asteroid 2010 AA15 is in a similar but different orbit than main-belt comet P/2010 A2. Using the best-fit short-arc orbital data, it appears as if the closest that comet P/2010 A2 came to asteroid 2010 AA15 is around 0.0155 AU (2,300,000 kilometres (1,400,000 mi)) on November 22, 2009. 2010 AA15 was discovered on January 7, 2010. Since it has only been observed over a fifteen-day arc of its 3.5 year orbit, details of the exact orbit still need further refining for easy recovery of this object in the distant future. The asteroid appears to have come to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on around January 10, 2010, only a couple days after its discovery. With an absolute magnitude (H) of 19.2, 2010 AA15 is likely about 600 metres (2,000 ft) in diameter. | Celestial Body |

He also entered politics and became a Member of Parliament. Bastard was born into a family with considerable political connections, and was a grandson of the distinguished Royal Navy officer Captain Philemon Pownoll (d.1780), the builder of Sharpham House. He entered the navy and rose through the ranks during the wars with France. He was promoted to commander and given his first ship while in the East Indies, and was able to show his qualities by chasing a larger French privateer until she was captured by a larger British ship. Promoted to post-captain soon afterwards, one of his first post commands was the former privateer he had helped to capture. He was moved to the North American station shortly before the outbreak of the War of 1812 and commanded the station's flagship while serving in a detached squadron. Events that Bastard took part in included the capture of USS Nautilus and the chase of USS Constitution.

John Knowles Herr (born October 1, 1878 in the Whitehouse section of Readington Township, New Jersey – died March 12, 1955 in Washington, D.C.) was a career American soldier. Herr served for 40 years in the United States Cavalry and participated in the final battles of World War I as chief of staff of the 30th Division, but is best remembered for being the last Chief of U. S. Cavalry in history. In March 1938 Major General Herr was appointed Chief of Cavalry and became a fierce advocate of traditional horse cavalry troops. He defended cavalry as an independent branch of service and opposed conversion of mounted troops into mechanized or armored units. Herr's affection to horse, \"somewhat quixotic\" for the period, temporarily made him \"a hero and a standard bearer\" to generations of officers indoctrinated in cavalry tactics. German blitzkrieg in Poland and France compelled the military leadership in favor of armoured warfare, and the United States cavalry was mechanized contrary to Herr's objections. General Robert W. Grow wrote that \"had General Herr, from the beginning, taken a strong stand to mechanization of the Cavalry Branch, the Armored Force would have never been created\" (as a separate combat arm). Instead, Herr \"lost it all\": and his troops were gradually converted to armor. On March 9, 1942, War Department Circular No. 59 created the Army Ground Forces, Services of Supply, and Army Air Forces; and disbanded the offices of the combat arms chiefs, including Chief of Cavalry. Herr retired. He continued to speak in favor of the horse and co-authored The Story of the U.S. Cavalry (1953). Historians' assessment of Herr's four-year service as Chief of Cavalry range from \"stubborn obstructionist\" (Hofmann), \"conservative and downright mossback\" (Millett), \"diehard proponent of the horse\" (Winton and Mets) to \"noble and tragic in his loyalty to horse ... and refusal to accept reality after Munich.\" (Jarymowycz). and \"gallant and highly regarded officer ... proof that outdated beliefs would die hard\" (D'Este). | Person |

Originally Price's label, Columbia Records, released the song as the \"B\" side of the single, but switched to promoting \"For the Good Times\" after Wayne Newton recorded his own version of the tune. The flip side, \"Grazin' in Greener Pastures,\" did receive credit on the country music chart. In the UK, in 1973, a version by Perry Como spent 27 weeks on the UK Singles Chart peaking at #7 in the week beginning August 25. | Musical Work |

The Pasing Arcaden is a shopping mall located in Munich's district of Pasing. The first section of the Pasing Arcaden was opened on the 15 of March 2011. It is located near the Pasing train station, in the west of Munich. The main entrance at the Pasing train station square opens up to the 270 meter long first section of the shopping area. This portion of the complex has a total area of 26,000 m2 and offers 14,000 m2 of space for 90 shops and boutiques. On 18 February 2013, the second section of Pasing Arcaden with an additional 50 shops and 11 catering establishments covering an area of 37,000 m2 was opened. Giovanni Trapattoni was the star guest at the opening. The total area of the Pasing Arcaden covers 63,000 m2, in which the total commercial area covers 39,000 m2. Making the Pasing Arcaden the fourth major shopping mall in Munich, after the Einkaufs-Center Neuperlach – pep, the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum, and the Riem Arcaden. The building was designed by the Munich architecture office of Allmann Sattler Wappner. The floor plan was designed similar to that of a cruise ship. The façade was designed with diamonds made of metal. The side of the building, adjacent to the railway tracks from Pasing to München Hauptbahnhof, is slightly curved, and the building height is more than 20 meters. The opposite longitudinal side of the building is approximately 10 meters high. The reason for this being the 45 three-to-five room apartments that were built in diagonal blocks on the roof of the Pasing Arcaden. Between the apartment blocks are large terraces that are available to the tenants. Additional commercial area has been planned. The walkways inside the shopping area do not run straight, but intertwine throughout the building. The shop facades are designed by the tenants themselves. Under the complex is a two-story underground parking area with 660 parking spaces. The management behind the Pasing Arcaden is the same as that for the Riem Arcaden, mfi Management für Immobilien AG, Essen. The first phase of construction costed a total of €190 million. The project schedule was delayed as a lawsuit with a neighbor interrupted construction works between 2008 and 2009. | Building |
